< إِرْمِيَا 23 >
«وَيْلٌ لِلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُهْلِكُونَ وَيُبَدِّدُونَ غَنَمَ رَعِيَّتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١ 1 |
"Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture." says the LORD.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرْعَوْنَ شَعْبِي: أَنْتُمْ بَدَّدْتُمْ غَنَمِي وَطَرَدْتُمُوهَا وَلَمْ تَتَعَهَّدُوهَا. هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُكُمْ عَلَى شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢ 2 |
Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: "You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; look, I will visit on you the evil of your doings," says the LORD.
وَأَنَا أَجْمَعُ بَقِيَّةَ غَنَمِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهَا إِلَيْهَا، وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى مَرَابِضِهَا فَتُثْمِرُ وَتَكْثُرُ. | ٣ 3 |
"I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا رُعَاةً يَرْعَوْنَهَا فَلَا تَخَافُ بَعْدُ وَلَا تَرْتَعِدُ وَلَا تُفْقَدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٤ 4 |
I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking," says the LORD.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُقِيمُ لِدَاوُدَ غُصْنَ بِرٍّ، فَيَمْلِكُ مَلِكٌ وَيَنْجَحُ، وَيُجْرِي حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥ 5 |
"Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
فِي أَيَّامِهِ يُخَلَّصُ يَهُوذَا، وَيَسْكُنُ إِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنًا، وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱسْمُهُ ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُونَهُ بِهِ: ٱلرَّبُّ بِرُّنَا. | ٦ 6 |
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: 'The LORD our righteousness.'
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، | ٧ 7 |
Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that they shall no more say, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt';
بَلْ: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَ وَأَتَى بِنَسْلِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ». | ٨ 8 |
but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the descendants of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' They shall dwell in their own land."'
فِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: اِنْسَحَقَ قَلْبِي فِي وَسَطِي. ٱرْتَخَتْ كُلُّ عِظَامِي. صِرْتُ كَإِنْسَانٍ سَكْرَانَ وَمِثْلَ رَجُلٍ غَلَبَتْهُ ٱلْخَمْرُ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلَامِ قُدْسِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنَ ٱلْفَاسِقِينَ. لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱللَّعْنِ نَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. جَفَّتْ مَرَاعِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَصَارَ سَعْيُهُمْ لِلشَّرِّ، وَجَبَرُوتُهُمْ لِلْبَاطِلِ. | ١٠ 10 |
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. "Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
«لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةَ تَنَجَّسُوا جَمِيعًا، بَلْ فِي بَيْتِي وَجَدْتُ شَرَّهُمْ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
for both prophet and cohen are profane; yes, in my house have I found their wickedness," says the LORD.
لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُ طَرِيقُهُمْ لَهُمْ كَمَزَالِقَ فِي ظَلَامٍ دَامِسٍ، فَيُطْرَدُونَ وَيَسْقُطُونَ فِيهَا، لِأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا سَنَةَ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
"Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation," says the LORD.
وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي أَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ حَمَاقَةً. تَنَبَّأُوا بِٱلْبَعْلِ وَأَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
"I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
وَفِي أَنْبِيَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأَيْتُ مَا يُقْشَعَرُّ مِنْهُ. يَفْسِقُونَ وَيَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَيُشَدِّدُونَ أَيَادِيَ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ حَتَّى لَا يَرْجِعُوا ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَنْ شَرِّهِ. صَارُوا لِي كُلُّهُمْ كَسَدُومَ، وَسُكَّانُهَا كَعَمُورَةَ. | ١٤ 14 |
In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none does return from his wickedness: they are all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَنِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: هَأَنَذَا أُطْعِمُهُمْ أَفْسَنْتِينًا وَأَسْقِيهِمْ مَاءَ ٱلْعَلْقَمِ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْبِيَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ خَرَجَ نِفَاقٌ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: 'Look, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.'
هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَجْعَلُونَكُمْ بَاطِلًا. يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِرُؤْيَا قَلْبِهِمْ لَا عَنْ فَمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
قَائِلِينَ قَوْلًا لِمُحْتَقِرِيَّ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: يَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلَامٌ! وَيَقُولُونَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَسِيرُ فِي عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ: لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ شَرٌّ. | ١٧ 17 |
They say continually to those who despise me, "The LORD has said, 'You shall have peace'"; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, "No evil shall come on you."
لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ وَقَفَ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَرَأَى وَسَمِعَ كَلِمَتَهُ؟ مَنْ أَصْغَى لِكَلِمَتِهِ وَسَمِعَ؟». | ١٨ 18 |
For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has marked my word, and heard it?
هَا زَوْبَعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ. غَيْظٌ يَخْرُجُ، وَنَوْءٌ هَائِجٌ. عَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَثُورُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Look, the storm of the LORD, his wrath, has gone forth. Yes, a whirling storm. It shall burst on the head of the wicked.
لَا يَرْتَدُّ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يُجْرِيَ وَيُقِيمَ مَقَاصِدَ قَلْبِهِ. فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ تَفْهَمُونَ فَهْمًا. | ٢٠ 20 |
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.
«لَمْ أُرْسِلِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ بَلْ هُمْ جَرَوْا. لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مَعَهُمْ بَلْ هُمْ تَنَبَّأُوا. | ٢١ 21 |
I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
وَلَوْ وَقَفُوا فِي مَجْلِسِي لَأَخْبَرُوا شَعْبِي بِكَلَامِي وَرَدُّوهُمْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِمِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ وَعَنْ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
أَلَعَلِّي إِلَهٌ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَسْتُ إِلَهًا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Am I a God at hand,' says the LORD, 'and not a God afar off?
إِذَا ٱخْتَبَأَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي أَمَاكِنَ مُسْتَتِرَةٍ أَفَمَا أَرَاهُ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَمَا أَمْلَأُ أَنَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him?' says the LORD. 'Do I not fill heaven and earth?' says the LORD.
قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا قَالَهُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا بِٱسْمِي بِٱلْكَذِبِ قَائِلِينَ: حَلِمْتُ، حَلِمْتُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
'I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, "I have dreamed, I have dreamed."
حَتَّى مَتَى يُوجَدُ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ؟ بَلْ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ خِدَاعِ قَلْبِهِمِ! | ٢٦ 26 |
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
ٱلَّذِينَ يُفَكِّرُونَ أَنْ يُنَسُّوا شَعْبِي ٱسْمِي بِأَحْلَامِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي يَقُصُّونَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، كَمَا نَسِيَ آبَاؤُهُمُ ٱسْمِي لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبَعْلِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
اَلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ حُلْمٌ فَلْيَقُصَّ حُلْمًا، وَٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ كَلِمَتِي فَلْيَتَكَلَّمْ بِكَلِمَتِي بِٱلْحَقِّ. مَا لِلتِّبْنِ مَعَ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?' says the LORD.
«أَلَيْسَتْ هَكَذَا كَلِمَتِي كَنَارٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَكَمِطْرَقَةٍ تُحَطِّمُ ٱلصَّخْرَ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
'Isn't my word like fire?' says the LORD; 'and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْرِقُونَ كَلِمَتِي بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Therefore look, I am against the prophets,' says the LORD, 'who steal my words everyone from his neighbor.
هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ لِسَانَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ: قَالَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Look, I am against the prophets,' says the LORD, 'who use their tongues, and say, "He says."
هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِأَحْلَامٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُصُّونَهَا وَيُضِلُّونَ شَعْبِي بِأَكَاذِيبِهِمْ وَمُفَاخَرَاتِهِمْ وَأَنَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ وَلَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ. فَلَمْ يُفِيدُوا هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ فَائِدَةً، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Look, I am against the prophets who prophesy lying dreams,' says the LORD, 'and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I did not send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all,' says the LORD.
«وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ أَوْ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ كَاهِنٌ قَائِلًا: مَا وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: أَيُّ وَحْيٍ؟ إِنِّي أَرْفُضُكُمْ، هُوَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٣ 33 |
'When this people, or the prophet, or a cohen, shall ask you, saying, "What is the burden of the LORD?" Then you shall tell them, "You are the burden, and I will cast you off," says the LORD.
فَٱلنَّبِيُّ أَوِ ٱلْكَاهِنُ أَوِ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، أُعَاقِبُ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَبَيْتَهُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
As for the prophet, and the cohen, and the people, who shall say, "The burden of the LORD," I will even punish that man and his house.
هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَٱلرَّجُلُ لِأَخِيهِ: بِمَاذَا أَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ وَمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ٣٥ 35 |
You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, "What has the LORD answered?" and, "What has the LORD spoken?"
أَمَّا وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا تَذْكُرُوهُ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ كَلِمَةَ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ تَكُونُ وَحْيَهُ، إِذْ قَدْ حَرَّفْتُمْ كَلَامَ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْحَيِّ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِنَا. | ٣٦ 36 |
You shall mention the burden of the LORD no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِلنَّبِيِّ: بِمَاذَا أَجَابَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ وَمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
You shall say to the prophet, "What has the LORD answered you?" and, "What has the LORD spoken?"
وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَلِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ قَوْلِكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ قَائِلًا لَا تَقُولُوا: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٣٨ 38 |
But if you say, "The burden of the LORD"; therefore thus says the LORD: Because you say this word, "The burden of the LORD," and I have sent to you, saying, "You shall not say, 'The burden of the LORD'";
لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَنْسَاكُمْ نِسْيَانًا، وَأَرْفُضُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِي، أَنْتُمْ وَٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ وَآبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا. | ٣٩ 39 |
therefore, look, I will surely lift you up and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence:
وَأَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَارًا أَبَدِيًّا وَخِزْيًا أَبَدِيًّا لَا يُنْسَى». | ٤٠ 40 |
and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.'"
