< إِرْمِيَا 22 >
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَتَكَلَّمْ هُنَاكَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، | ١ 1 |
Thus saith the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Juda, and there thou shalt speak this word,
وَقُلِ: ٱسْمَعْ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَامَلِكَ يَهُوذَا ٱلْجَالِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ، أَنْتَ وَعَبِيدُكَ وَشَعْبُكَ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ. | ٢ 2 |
And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by 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 |
Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not 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 do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِنَفْسِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ يَكُونُ خَرَابًا. | ٥ 5 |
But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: جِلْعَادٌ أَنْتَ لِي. رَأْسٌ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ. إِنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ بَرِّيَّةً، مُدُنًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.
وَأُقَدِّسُ عَلَيْكَ مُهْلِكِينَ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ وَآلَاتِهِ، فَيَقْطَعُونَ خِيَارَ أَرْزِكَ وَيُلْقُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ. | ٧ 7 |
And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong 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 shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbor: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?
فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوهَا. | ٩ 9 |
And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them.
«لَا تَبْكُوا مَيْتًا وَلَا تَنْدُبُوهُ. ٱبْكُوا، ٱبْكُوا مَنْ يَمْضِي، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرْجِعُ بَعْدُ فَيَرَى أَرْضَ مِيلَادِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Weep not for him that is dead, nor bemoan him with your tears: lament him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
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 thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall return hither no more:
بَلْ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي سَبُوهُ إِلَيْهِ، يَمُوتُ. وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لَا يَرَاهَا بَعْدُ. | ١٢ 12 |
But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.
«وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ بِغَيْرِ عَدْلٍ وَعَلَالِيَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ، ٱلَّذِي يَسْتَخْدِمُ صَاحِبَهُ مَجَّانًا وَلَا يُعْطِيهِ أُجْرَتَهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
Woe to him that buildeth up his house by injustice, and his chambers not in judgement: that will oppress his friend without cause, and will not pay him his wages.
ٱلْقَائِلُ: أَبْنِي لِنَفْسِي بَيْتًا وَسِيعًا وَعَلَالِيَ فَسِيحَةً. وَيَشُقُّ لِنَفْسِهِ كُوًى وَيَسْقُفُ بِأَرْزٍ وَيَدْهُنُ بِمُغْرَةٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Who saith: I will build me a wide house and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.
هَلْ تَمْلِكُ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُحَاذِي ٱلْأَرْزَ؟ أَمَا أَكَلَ أَبُوكَ وَشَرِبَ وَأَجْرَى حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا؟ حِينَئِذٍ كَانَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?
قَضَى قَضَاءَ ٱلْفَقِيرِ وَٱلْمِسْكِينِ، حِينَئِذٍ كَانَ خَيْرٌ. أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مَعْرِفَتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَقَلْبَكَ لَيْسَتْ إِلَا عَلَى خَطْفِكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلدَّمِ ٱلزَّكِيِّ لِتَسْفِكَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلِٱغْتِصَابِ وَٱلظُّلْمِ لِتَعْمَلَهُمَا. | ١٧ 17 |
But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.
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 thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda: They shall not mourn for him, Alas, my brother, and Alas, sister: they shall not lament for him, Alas, my Lord, or, Alas, the noble one.
يُدْفَنُ دَفْنَ حِمَارٍ مَسْحُوبًا وَمَطْرُوحًا بَعِيدًا عَنْ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٩ 19 |
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without 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 Libanus, and cry: and lift up thy voice in Basan, and cry to them that pass by, for all thy lovers are destroyed.
تَكَلَّمْتُ إِلَيْكِ فِي رَاحَتِكِ. قُلْتِ: لَا أَسْمَعُ. هَذَا طَرِيقُكِ مُنْذُ صِبَاكِ، أَنَّكِ لَا تَسْمَعِينَ لِصَوْتِي. | ٢١ 21 |
I spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.
كُلُّ رُعَاتِكِ تَرْعَاهُمُ ٱلرِّيحُ، وَمُحِبُّوكِ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. فَحِينَئِذٍ تَخْزَيْنَ وَتَخْجَلِينَ لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّكِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي لُبْنَانَ ٱلْمُعَشِّشَةُ فِي ٱلْأَرْزِ، كَمْ يُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكِ عِنْدَ إِتْيَانِ ٱلْمُخَاضِ عَلَيْكِ، ٱلْوَجَعِ كَوَالِدَةٍ! | ٢٣ 23 |
Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَوْ كَانَ كُنْيَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا خَاتِمًا عَلَى يَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى فَإِنِّي مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَنْزِعُكَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda were a ring on my right hand, I would pluck him thence.
وَأُسَلِّمُكَ لِيَدِ طَالِبِي نَفْسِكَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَخَافُ مِنْهُمْ، وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
وَأَطْرَحُكَ وَأُمَّكَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تُولَدَا فِيهَا، وَهُنَاكَ تَمُوتَانِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And I will send thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a strange country, in which you were not born, and there you shall die:
أَمَّا ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي يَشْتَاقَانِ إِلَى ٱلرُّجُوعِ إِلَيْهَا، فَلَا يَرْجِعَانِ إِلَيْهَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.
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 Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein there is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
يَا أَرْضُ، يَا أَرْضُ، يَا أَرْضُ ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ! | ٢٩ 29 |
O earth, earth, earth, 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 |
Thus saith the Lord: Write this man barren, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall not be a man of his seed that shall sit upon the throne of David, and have power any more in Juda.
