إِرْمِيَا 19

١ 1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَٱشْتَرِ إِبْرِيقَ فَخَّارِيٍّ مِنْ خَزَفٍ، وَخُذْ مِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَمِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ،

Thus said Jehovah: Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,

٢ 2 وَٱخْرُجْ إِلَى وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ ٱلَّذِي عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلْفَخَّارِ، وَنَادِ هُنَاكَ بِٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أُكَلِّمُكَ بِهَا.

and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee.

٣ 3 وَقُلِ: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا مُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ شَرًّا، كُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذْنَاهُ.

And say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.

٤ 4 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي، وَأَنْكَرُوا هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعَ وَبَخَّرُوا فِيهِ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا هُمْ وَلَا آبَاؤُهُمْ وَلَا مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلَأُوا هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعَ مِنْ دَمِ ٱلْأَزْكِيَاءِ،

Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,

٥ 5 وَبَنَوْا مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ لِلْبَعْلِ لِيُحْرِقُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ بِٱلنَّارِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلْبَعْلِ، ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُوْصِ وَلَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ وَلَا صَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِي.

and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither did it come into my mind.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يُدْعَى بَعْدُ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعُ تُوفَةَ وَلَا وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، بَلْ وَادِي ٱلْقَتْلِ.

Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter.

٧ 7 وَأَنْقُضُ مَشُورَةَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَبِيَدِ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَأَجْعَلُ جُثَثَهُمْ أُكْلًا لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place. And I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. And I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.

٨ 8 وَأَجْعَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ لِلدَّهَشِ وَٱلصَّفِيرِ. كُلُّ عَابِرٍ بِهَا يَدْهَشُ وَيَصْفِرُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ ضَرَبَاتِهَا.

And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues of it.

٩ 9 وَأُطْعِمُهُمْ لَحْمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَلَحْمَ بَنَاتِهِمْ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لَحْمَ صَاحِبِهِ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ وَٱلضِّيقِ ٱلَّذِي يُضَايِقُهُمْ بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ وَطَالِبُو نُفُوسِهِمْ.

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. And they shall eat each one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them.

١٠ 10 ثُمَّ تَكْسِرُ ٱلْإِبْرِيقَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ مَعَكَ

Then thou shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with thee,

١١ 11 وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هَكَذَا أَكْسِرُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ كَمَا يُكْسَرُ وِعَاءُ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ بِحَيْثُ لَا يُمْكِنُ جَبْرُهُ بَعْدُ، وَفِي تُوفَةَ يُدْفَنُونَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ مَوْضِعٌ لِلدَّفْنِ.

and shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Even so I will break this people and this city, as a potter's vessel is broken, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth till there be no place to bury.

١٢ 12 هَكَذَا أَصْنَعُ لِهَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلِسُكَّانِهِ. وَأَجْعَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ مِثْلَ تُوفَةَ.

Thus I will do to this place, says Jehovah, and to the inhabitants of it, even making this city as Topheth.

١٣ 13 وَتَكُونُ بُيُوتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبُيُوتُ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا كَمَوْضِعِ تُوفَةَ، نَجِسَةً كُلُّ ٱلْبُيُوتِ ٱلَّتِي بَخَّرُوا عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَسَكَبُوا سَكَائِبَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى».

And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.

١٤ 14 ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ تُوفَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهَا لِيَتَنَبَّأَ، وَوَقَفَ فِي دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِكُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ:

Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,

١٥ 15 «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ قُرَاهَا كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ صَلَّبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِي».

Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
