إِرْمِيَا 2
| وَصَارَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
And he said, Thus saith the Lord,
| «ٱذْهَبْ وَنَادِ فِي أُذُنَيْ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ ذَكَرْتُ لَكِ غَيْرَةَ صِبَاكِ، مَحَبَّةَ خِطْبَتِكِ، ذِهَابَكِ وَرَائِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي أَرْضٍ غَيْرِ مَزْرُوعَةٍ. | ٢ 2 |
I remember the kindness of thy youth, and the love of thine espousals,
| إِسْرَائِيلُ قُدْسٌ لِلرَّبِّ، أَوَائِلُ غَلَّتِهِ. كُلُّ آكِلِيهِ يَأْثَمُونَ. شَرٌّ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٣ 3 |
in following the Holy One of Israel, saith the Lord, Israel was the holy [people] to the Lord, [and] the first-fruits of his increase: all that devoured him shall offend; evils shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
| اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَكُلَّ عَشَائِرِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤ 4 |
Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and every family of the house of Israel.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا وَجَدَ فِيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ جَوْرٍ حَتَّى ٱبْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي وَسَارُوا وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَاطِلِ وَصَارُوا بَاطِلًا؟ | ٥ 5 |
Thus saith the Lord, What trespass have your fathers found in me, that they have revolted far from me, and gone after vanities, and become vain?
| وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، ٱلَّذِي سَارَ بِنَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي أَرْضِ قَفْرٍ وَحُفَرٍ، فِي أَرْضِ يُبُوسَةٍ وَظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ، فِي أَرْضٍ لَمْ يَعْبُرْهَا رَجُلٌ وَلَمْ يَسْكُنْهَا إِنْسَانٌ؟ | ٦ 6 |
And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land which no man at all went through, and no man dwelt there?
| وَأَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَسَاتِينَ لِتَأْكُلُوا ثَمَرَهَا وَخَيْرَهَا. فَأَتَيْتُمْ وَنَجَّسْتُمْ أَرْضِي وَجَعَلْتُمْ مِيرَاثِي رِجْسًا. | ٧ 7 |
And I brought you to Carmel, that ye should eat the fruits thereof, and the good thereof; and ye went in, and defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
| اَلْكَهَنَةُ لَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ وَأَهْلُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُونِي، وَٱلرُّعَاةُ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ، وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ تَنَبَّأُوا بِبَعْلٍ، وَذَهَبُوا وَرَاءَ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُ. | ٨ 8 |
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that held by the law knew me not: the shepherds also sinned against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after that which profited not.
| «لِذَلِكَ أُخَاصِمُكُمْ بَعْدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَبَنِي بَنِيكُمْ أُخَاصِمُ. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore I will yet plead with you, and will plead with your children's children.
| فَٱعْبُرُوا جَزَائِرَ كِتِّيمَ، وَٱنْظُرُوا، وَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَى قِيدَارَ، وَٱنْتَبِهُوا جِدًّا، وَٱنْظُرُوا: هَلْ صَارَ مِثْلُ هَذَا؟ | ١٠ 10 |
For go to the isles of the Chettians, and se; and send to Kedar, and observe accurately, and see if such things have been done;
| هَلْ بَدَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ آلِهَةً، وَهِيَ لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً؟ أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَقَدْ بَدَلَ مَجْدَهُ بِمَا لَا يَنْفَعُ! | ١١ 11 |
if the nations will change their gods, though they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory, [for that] from which they shall not be profited.
| اِبْهَتِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مِنْ هَذَا، وَٱقْشَعِرِّي وَتَحَيَّرِي جِدًّا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
The heaven is amazed at this, and is very exceedingly horror-struck, saith the Lord.
| لِأَنَّ شَعْبِي عَمِلَ شَرَّيْنِ: تَرَكُونِي أَنَا يَنْبُوعَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ، لِيَنْقُرُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَبْآرًا، أَبْآرًا مُشَقَّقَةً لَا تَضْبُطُ مَاءً. | ١٣ 13 |
For my people has committed two [faults], and evil ones: they have forsaken me, the fountain of water of life, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water.
| «أَعَبْدٌ إِسْرَائِيلُ، أَوْ مَوْلُودُ ٱلْبَيْتِ هُوَ؟ لِمَاذَا صَارَ غَنِيمَةً؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Is Israel a servant, or a home-born slave? why has he become a spoil?
| زَمْجَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَشْبَالُ. أَطْلَقَتْ صَوْتَهَا وَجَعَلَتْ أَرْضَهُ خَرِبَةً. أُحْرِقَتْ مُدُنُهُ فَلَا سَاكِنَ. | ١٥ 15 |
The lions roared upon him, and uttered their voice, which have made his land a wilderness: and his cities are broken down, that they should not be inhabited.
| وَبَنُو نُوفَ وَتَحْفَنِيسَ قَدْ شَجُّوا هَامَتَكِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Also the children of Memphis and Taphnas have known thee, and mocked thee.
| أَمَا صَنَعْتِ هَذَا بِنَفْسِكِ، إِذْ تَرَكْتِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكِ حِينَمَا كَانَ مُسَيِّرَكِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Has not thy forsaking me brought these things upon thee? saith the Lord thy God.
| وَٱلْآنَ مَا لَكِ وَطَرِيقَ مِصْرَ لِشُرْبِ مِيَاهِ شِيحُورَ؟ وَمَا لَكِ وَطَرِيقَ أَشُّورَ لِشُرْبِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
And now what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Geon? and what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers?
| يُوَبِّخُكِ شَرُّكِ، وَعِصْيَانُكِ يُؤَدِّبُكِ. فَٱعْلَمِي وَٱنْظُرِي أَنَّ تَرْكَكِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكِ شَرٌّ وَمُرٌّ، وَأَنَّ خَشْيَتِي لَيْسَتْ فِيكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Thine apostasy shall correct thee, and thy wickedness shall reprove thee: know then, and see, that thy forsaking me [has been] bitter to thee, saith the Lord thy God; and I have taken no pleasure in thee, saith the Lord thy God.
| «لِأَنَّهُ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ كَسَرْتُ نِيرَكِ وَقَطَعْتُ قُيُودَكِ، وَقُلْتِ: لَا أَتَعَبَّدُ. لِأَنَّكِ عَلَى كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ أَنْتِ ٱضْطَجَعْتِ زَانِيَةً! | ٢٠ 20 |
For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, and plucked asunder thy bands; and thou has said, I will not serve thee, but will go upon every high hill, and under every shady tree, there will I indulge in my fornication.
| وَأَنَا قَدْ غَرَسْتُكِ كَرْمَةَ سُورَقَ، زَرْعَ حَقٍّ كُلَّهَا. فَكَيْفَ تَحَوَّلْتِ لِي سُرُوغَ جَفْنَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Yet I planted thee a fruitful vine, entirely of the right sort: how art thou a strange vine turned to bitterness!
| فَإِنَّكِ وَإِنِ ٱغْتَسَلْتِ بِنَطْرُونٍ، وَأَكْثَرْتِ لِنَفْسِكِ ٱلْأُشْنَانَ، فَقَدْ نُقِشَ إِثْمُكِ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Though thou shouldest wash thyself with nitre, and multiply to thyself soap, [still] thou art stained by thine iniquities before me, saith the Lord.
| كَيْفَ تَقُولِينَ: لَمْ أَتَنَجَّسْ. وَرَاءَ بَعْلِيمَ لَمْ أَذْهَبْ؟ ٱنْظُرِي طَرِيقَكِ فِي ٱلْوَادِي. اِعْرِفِي مَا عَمِلْتِ، يَا نَاقَةً خَفِيفَةً ضَبِعَةً فِي طُرُقِهَا! | ٢٣ 23 |
How wilt thou say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold thy ways in the burial-ground, and know what thou hast done: her voice has howled in the evening:
| يَا أَتَانَ ٱلْفَرَا، قَدْ تَعَوَّدَتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةَ! فِي شَهْوَةِ نَفْسِهَا تَسْتَنْشِقُ ٱلرِّيحَ. عِنْدَ ضَبَعِهَا مَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟ كُلُّ طَالِبِيهَا لَا يُعْيُونَ. فِي شَهْرِهَا يَجِدُونَهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up [to them], who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at [the time of] her humiliation they shall find her.
| اِحْفَظِي رِجْلَكِ مِنَ ٱلْحَفَا وَحَلْقَكِ مِنَ ٱلظَّمَإِ. فَقُلْتِ: بَاطِلٌ! لَا! لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ ٱلْغُرَبَاءَ وَوَرَاءَهُمْ أَذْهَبُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Withdraw thy foot from a rough way, and thy throat from thirst: but she said I will strengthen myself: for she loved strangers, and went after them.
| كَخِزْيِ ٱلسَّارِقِ إِذَا وُجِدَ هَكَذَا خِزْيُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هُمْ وَمُلُوكُهُمْ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ وَكَهَنَتُهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ، | ٢٦ 26 |
As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
| قَائِلِينَ لِلْعُودِ: أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلْحَجَرِ: أَنْتَ وَلَدْتَنِي. لِأَنَّهُمْ حَوَّلُوا نَحْوِي ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ، وَفِي وَقْتِ بَلِيَّتِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ: قُمْ وَخَلِّصْنَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
They said to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou has begotten me: and they have turned [their] backs to me, and not their faces: yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.
| فَأَيْنَ آلِهَتُكَ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ؟ فَلْيَقُومُوا إِنْ كَانُوا يُخَلِّصُونَكَ فِي وَقْتِ بَلِيَّتِكَ. لِأَنَّهُ عَلَى عَدَدِ مُدُنِكَ صَارَتْ آلِهَتُكَ يَا يَهُوذَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
And where are thy gods, which thou madest for thyself? will they arise and save in the time of thine affliction? for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.
| لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ كُلُّكُمْ عَصَيْتُمُونِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Wherefore do ye speak unto me? ye all have been ungodly, and ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
| لِبَاطِلٍ ضَرَبْتُ بَنِيكُمْ. لَمْ يَقْبَلُوا تَأْدِيبًا. أَكَلَ سَيْفُكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ مُهْلِكٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
In vain have I smitten your children; ye have not received correction: a sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet ye feared not.
| «أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجِيلُ، ٱنْظُرُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ. هَلْ صِرْتُ بَرِّيَّةً لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ أَرْضَ ظَلَامٍ دَامِسٍ؟ لِمَاذَا قَالَ شَعْبِي: قَدْ شَرَدْنَا، لَا نَجِيءُ إِلَيْكَ بَعْدُ؟ | ٣١ 31 |
Hear ye the word of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? wherefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to thee any more?
| هَلْ تَنْسَى عَذْرَاءُ زِينَتَهَا، أَوْ عَرُوسٌ مَنَاطِقَهَا؟ أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَقَدْ نَسِيَنِي أَيَّامًا بِلَا عَدَدٍ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Will a bride forget her ornaments, or a virgin her girdle? but my people has forgotten me days without number.
| لِمَاذَا تُحَسِّنِينَ طَرِيقَكِ لِتَطْلُبِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ؟ لِذَلِكَ عَلَّمْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَاتِ أَيْضًا طُرُقَكِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
What fair device wilt thou yet employ in thy ways, so as to seek love? [it shall] not [be] so; moreover thou has done wickedly in corrupting thy ways;
| أَيْضًا فِي أَذْيَالِكِ وُجِدَ دَمُ نُفُوسِ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَزْكِيَاءِ. لَا بِٱلنَّقْبِ وَجَدْتُهُ، بَلْ عَلَى كُلِّ هَذِهِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
and in thine hands has been found the blood of innocent souls; I have not found them in holes, but on every oak.
| وَتَقُولِينَ: لِأَنِّي تَبَرَّأْتُ ٱرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ عَنِّي حَقًّا. هَأَنَذَا أُحَاكِمُكِ لِأَنَّكِ قُلْتِ: لَمْ أُخْطِئْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Yet thou saidst, I am innocent: only let his wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I [will] plead with thee, whereas thou sayest, I have not sinned.
| لِمَاذَا تَرْكُضِينَ لِتَبْدُلِي طَرِيقَكِ؟ مِنْ مِصْرَ أَيْضًا تَخْزَيْنَ كَمَا خَزِيتِ مِنْ أَشُّورَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
For thou has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat thy ways; but thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assur.
| مِنْ هُنَا أَيْضًا تَخْرُجِينَ وَيَدَاكِ عَلَى رَأْسِكِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَ ثِقَاتِكِ، فَلَا تَنْجَحِينَ فِيهَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
For thou shalt go forth thence also with thine hands upon thine head; for the Lord has rejected thine hope, and thou shalt not prosper in it.
