إِرْمِيَا 25

١ 1 اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، هِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلْأُولَى لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ،

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon;

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا:

The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

٣ 3 «مِنَ ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِيُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ فَكَلَّمْتُكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُكَلِّمًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of Yhwh hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

٤ 4 وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُرْسِلًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ تُمِيلُوا أُذُنَكُمْ لِلسَّمْعِ،

And Yhwh hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

٥ 5 قَائِلِينَ: ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ وَعَنْ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَٱسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهَا وَآبَاءَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yhwh hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

٦ 6 وَلَا تَسْلُكُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا، وَلَا تَغِيظُونِي بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَلَا أُسِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

٧ 7 فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِتَغِيظُونِي بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ شَرًّا لَكُمْ.

Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Yhwh; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

٨ 8 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِي

Therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Because ye have not heard my words,

٩ 9 هَأَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ فَآخُذُ كُلَّ عَشَائِرِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ عَبْدِي مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِهَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ حَوَالَيْهَا، فَأُحَرِّمُهُمْ وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ دَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا وَخِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.

Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Yhwh, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

١٠ 10 وَأُبِيدُ مِنْهُمْ صَوْتَ ٱلطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْفَرَحِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْعَرُوسِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْأَرْحِيَةِ وَنُورَ ٱلسِّرَاجِ.

Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.

١١ 11 وَتَصِيرُ كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَابًا وَدَهَشًا، وَتَخْدِمُ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

١٢ 12 «وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلسَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً أَنِّي أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، وَتِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ وَأَرْضَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَأَجْعَلُهَا خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Yhwh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

١٣ 13 وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ كَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا، كُلَّ مَا كُتِبَ فِي هَذَا ٱلسِّفْرِ ٱلَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَعْبَدَهُمْ أَيْضًا أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمُلُوكٌ عِظَامٌ، فَأُجَازِيهِمْ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَحَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ».

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «خُذْ كَأْسَ خَمْرِ هَذَا ٱلسَّخَطِ مِنْ يَدِي، وَٱسْقِ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلُكَ أَنَا إِلَيْهِمْ إِيَّاهَا.

For thus saith Yhwh God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

١٦ 16 فَيَشْرَبُوا وَيَتَرَنَّحُوا وَيَتَجَنَّنُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ أَنَا بَيْنَهُمْ».

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

١٧ 17 فَأَخَذْتُ ٱلْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَسَقَيْتُ كُلَّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ.

Then took I the cup at Yhwh's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom Yhwh had sent me:

١٨ 18 أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا وَمُلُوكَهَا وَرُؤَسَاءَهَا، لِجَعْلِهَا خَرَابًا وَدَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا وَلَعْنَةً كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

١٩ 19 وَفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ وَعَبِيدَهُ وَرُؤَسَاءَهُ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِهِ.

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

٢٠ 20 وَكُلَّ ٱللَّفِيفِ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ أَرْضِ عُوصَ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ أَرْضِ فِلِسْطِينَ وَأَشْقَلُونَ وَغَزَّةَ وَعَقْرُونَ وَبَقِيَّةَ أَشْدُودَ،

And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

٢١ 21 وَأَدُومَ وَمُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ،

Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

٢٢ 22 وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صُورَ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صِيدُونَ، وَمُلُوكِ ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ،

And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,

٢٣ 23 وَدَدَانَ وَتَيْمَاءَ وَبُوزَ، وَكُلَّ مَقْصُوصِي ٱلشَّعْرِ مُسْتَدِيرًا،

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,

٢٤ 24 وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْعَرَبِ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱللَّفِيفِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ،

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

٢٥ 25 وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ زِمْرِي، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ عِيلَامَ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ مَادِي،

And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

٢٦ 26 وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ ٱلْقَرِيبِينَ وَٱلْبَعِيدِينَ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ أَخِيهِ، وَكُلَّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمَلِكُ شِيشَكَ يَشْرَبُ بَعْدَهُمْ.

And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

٢٧ 27 وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ٱشْرَبُوا وَٱسْكَرُوا وَتَقَيَّأُوا وَٱسْقُطُوا وَلَا تَقُومُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ أَنَا بَيْنَكُمْ.

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

٢٨ 28 وَيَكُونُ إِذَا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا ٱلْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِكَ لِيَشْرَبُوا، أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: تَشْرَبُونَ شُرْبًا.

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Ye shall certainly drink.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أَبْتَدِئُ أُسِيءُ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي دُعِيَ ٱسْمِي عَلَيْهَا، فَهَلْ تَتَبَرَّأُونَ أَنْتُمْ؟ لَا تَتَبَرَّأُونَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا أَدْعُو ٱلسَّيْفَ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Yhwh of Armies.

٣٠ 30 وَأَنْتَ فَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ يُزَمْجِرُ، وَمِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ يُطْلِقُ صَوْتَهُ، يَزْأَرُ زَئِيرًا عَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، بِهُتَافٍ كَٱلدَّائِسِينَ يَصْرُخُ ضِدَّ كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Yhwh shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

٣١ 31 بَلَغَ ٱلضَّجِيجُ إِلَى أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. هُوَ يُحَاكِمُ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ. يَدْفَعُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ لِلسَّيْفِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for Yhwh hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith Yhwh.

٣٢ 32 هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هُوَذَا ٱلشَّرُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَيَنْهَضُ نَوْءٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

٣٣ 33 وَتَكُونُ قَتْلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا يُنْدَبُونَ وَلَا يُضَمُّونَ وَلَا يُدْفَنُونَ. يَكُونُونَ دِمْنَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

And the slain of Yhwh shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

٣٤ 34 وَلْوِلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَٱصْرُخُوا، وَتَمَرَّغُوا يَا رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، لِأَنَّ أَيَّامَكُمْ قَدْ كَمَلَتْ لِلذَّبْحِ. وَأُبَدِّدُكُمْ فَتَسْقُطُونَ كَإِنَاءٍ شَهِيٍّ.

Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

٣٥ 35 وَيَبِيدُ ٱلْمَنَاصُ عَنِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَٱلنَّجَاةُ عَنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ.

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

٣٦ 36 صَوْتُ صُرَاخِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَوَلْوَلَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مَرْعَاهُمْ.

A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for Yhwh hath spoiled their pasture.

٣٧ 37 وَبَادَتْ مَرَاعِي ٱلسَّلَامِ مِنْ أَجْلِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of Yhwh.

٣٨ 38 تَرَكَ كَشِبْلٍ عِيصَهُ، لِأَنَّ أَرْضَهُمْ صَارَتْ خَرَابًا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلظَّالِمِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ.

He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
