< إِرْمِيَا 22 >
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَتَكَلَّمْ هُنَاكَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، | ١ 1 |
This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,
وَقُلِ: ٱسْمَعْ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَامَلِكَ يَهُوذَا ٱلْجَالِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ، أَنْتَ وَعَبِيدُكَ وَشَعْبُكَ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ. | ٢ 2 |
saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَجْرُوا حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا، وَأَنْقِذُوا ٱلْمَغْصُوبَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلظَّالِمِ، وَٱلْغَرِيبَ وَٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ. لَا تَضْطَهِدُوا وَلَا تَظْلِمُوا، وَلَا تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. | ٣ 3 |
This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
لِأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ يَدْخُلُ فِي أَبْوَابِ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ مُلُوكٌ جَالِسُونَ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ رَاكِبِينَ فِي مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ. هُوَ وَعَبِيدُهُ وَشَعْبُهُ. | ٤ 4 |
For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِنَفْسِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ يَكُونُ خَرَابًا. | ٥ 5 |
But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: جِلْعَادٌ أَنْتَ لِي. رَأْسٌ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ. إِنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ بَرِّيَّةً، مُدُنًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited.
وَأُقَدِّسُ عَلَيْكَ مُهْلِكِينَ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ وَآلَاتِهِ، فَيَقْطَعُونَ خِيَارَ أَرْزِكَ وَيُلْقُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ. | ٧ 7 |
I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.
وَيَعْبُرُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَيَقُولُونَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: لِمَاذَا فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِثْلَ هَذَا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ؟ | ٨ 8 |
And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’
فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوهَا. | ٩ 9 |
Then people will reply, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”
«لَا تَبْكُوا مَيْتًا وَلَا تَنْدُبُوهُ. ٱبْكُوا، ٱبْكُوا مَنْ يَمْضِي، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرْجِعُ بَعْدُ فَيَرَى أَرْضَ مِيلَادِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Do not weep for the dead king; do not mourn his loss. Weep bitterly for the one who is exiled, for he will never return to see his native land.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ شَلُّومَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلْمَالِكِ عِوَضًا عَنْ يُوشِيَّا أَبِيهِ: ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدُ. | ١١ 11 |
For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,
بَلْ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي سَبُوهُ إِلَيْهِ، يَمُوتُ. وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لَا يَرَاهَا بَعْدُ. | ١٢ 12 |
but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
«وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ بِغَيْرِ عَدْلٍ وَعَلَالِيَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ، ٱلَّذِي يَسْتَخْدِمُ صَاحِبَهُ مَجَّانًا وَلَا يُعْطِيهِ أُجْرَتَهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
“Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms without justice, who makes his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,
ٱلْقَائِلُ: أَبْنِي لِنَفْسِي بَيْتًا وَسِيعًا وَعَلَالِيَ فَسِيحَةً. وَيَشُقُّ لِنَفْسِهِ كُوًى وَيَسْقُفُ بِأَرْزٍ وَيَدْهُنُ بِمُغْرَةٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion.
هَلْ تَمْلِكُ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُحَاذِي ٱلْأَرْزَ؟ أَمَا أَكَلَ أَبُوكَ وَشَرِبَ وَأَجْرَى حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا؟ حِينَئِذٍ كَانَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
Does it make you a king to excel in cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with him.
قَضَى قَضَاءَ ٱلْفَقِيرِ وَٱلْمِسْكِينِ، حِينَئِذٍ كَانَ خَيْرٌ. أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مَعْرِفَتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
He took up the cause of the poor and needy, and so it went well with him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَقَلْبَكَ لَيْسَتْ إِلَا عَلَى خَطْفِكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلدَّمِ ٱلزَّكِيِّ لِتَسْفِكَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلِٱغْتِصَابِ وَٱلظُّلْمِ لِتَعْمَلَهُمَا. | ١٧ 17 |
“But your eyes and heart are set on nothing except your own dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood, on practicing extortion and oppression.”
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَنْدُبُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: آهِ يَا أَخِي! أَوْ آهِ يَا أُخْتِي! لَا يَنْدُبُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ! أَوْ آهِ يَا جَلَالَهُ! | ١٨ 18 |
Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
يُدْفَنُ دَفْنَ حِمَارٍ مَسْحُوبًا وَمَطْرُوحًا بَعِيدًا عَنْ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٩ 19 |
He will be buried like a donkey, dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
«اِصْعَدِي عَلَى لُبْنَانَ وَٱصْرُخِي، وَفِي بَاشَانَ أَطْلِقِي صَوْتَكِ، وَٱصْرُخِي مِنْ عَبَارِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ سُحِقَ كُلُّ مُحِبِّيكِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Go up to Lebanon and cry out; raise your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been crushed.
تَكَلَّمْتُ إِلَيْكِ فِي رَاحَتِكِ. قُلْتِ: لَا أَسْمَعُ. هَذَا طَرِيقُكِ مُنْذُ صِبَاكِ، أَنَّكِ لَا تَسْمَعِينَ لِصَوْتِي. | ٢١ 21 |
I warned you when you were secure. You said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from youth, that you have not obeyed My voice.
كُلُّ رُعَاتِكِ تَرْعَاهُمُ ٱلرِّيحُ، وَمُحِبُّوكِ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. فَحِينَئِذٍ تَخْزَيْنَ وَتَخْجَلِينَ لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّكِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
The wind will drive away all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي لُبْنَانَ ٱلْمُعَشِّشَةُ فِي ٱلْأَرْزِ، كَمْ يُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكِ عِنْدَ إِتْيَانِ ٱلْمُخَاضِ عَلَيْكِ، ٱلْوَجَعِ كَوَالِدَةٍ! | ٢٣ 23 |
O inhabitant of Lebanon, nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor.”
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَوْ كَانَ كُنْيَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا خَاتِمًا عَلَى يَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى فَإِنِّي مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَنْزِعُكَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.
وَأُسَلِّمُكَ لِيَدِ طَالِبِي نَفْسِكَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَخَافُ مِنْهُمْ، وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.
وَأَطْرَحُكَ وَأُمَّكَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تُولَدَا فِيهَا، وَهُنَاكَ تَمُوتَانِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.
أَمَّا ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي يَشْتَاقَانِ إِلَى ٱلرُّجُوعِ إِلَيْهَا، فَلَا يَرْجِعَانِ إِلَيْهَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
You will never return to the land for which you long.”
هَلْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ كُنْيَاهُو وِعَاءُ خَزَفٍ مُهَانٍ مَكْسُورٍ، أَوْ إِنَاءٌ لَيْسَتْ فِيهِ مَسَرَّةٌ؟ لِمَاذَا طُرِحَ هُوَ وَنَسْلُهُ وَأُلْقُوا إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
يَا أَرْضُ، يَا أَرْضُ، يَا أَرْضُ ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ! | ٢٩ 29 |
O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱكْتُبُوا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ عَقِيمًا، رَجُلًا لَا يَنْجَحُ فِي أَيَّامِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَنْجَحُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ أَحَدٌ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ وَحَاكِمًا بَعْدُ فِي يَهُوذَا. | ٣٠ 30 |
This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”
