إِرْمِيَا 27

١ 1 فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ مُلْكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، صَارَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامُ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah came this worde vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,

٢ 2 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: ٱصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ رُبُطًا وَأَنْيَارًا، وَٱجْعَلْهَا عَلَى عُنْقِكَ،

Thus saith the Lord to me, Make thee bonds, and yokes, and put them vpon thy necke,

٣ 3 وَأَرْسِلْهَا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَدُومَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ مُوآبَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ صُورَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ صَيْدُونَ، بِيَدِ ٱلرُّسُلِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

And send them to the King of Edom, and to the King of Moab, and to the King of the Ammonites, and to the King of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hande of the messengers which come to Ierusale vnto Zedekiah ye king of Iudah,

٤ 4 وَأَوْصِهِمْ إِلَى سَادَتِهِمْ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَادَتِكُمْ:

And commande them to saye vnto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say vnto your masters,

٥ 5 إِنِّي أَنَا صَنَعْتُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، بِقُوَّتِي ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ وَبِذِرَاعِي ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ، وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا لِمَنْ حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ.

I haue made the earth, the man, and the beast that are vpon the groud, by my great power, and by my outstreched arme, and haue giuen it vnto whom it pleased me.

٦ 6 وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ دَفَعْتُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي لِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ أَيْضًا حَيَوَانَ ٱلْحَقْلِ لِيَخْدِمَهُ.

But nowe I haue giuen all these landes into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and the beastes of the fielde haue I also giuen him to serue him.

٧ 7 فَتَخْدِمُهُ كُلُّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَٱبْنَهُ وَٱبْنَ ٱبْنِهِ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتُ أَرْضِهِ أَيْضًا، فَتَسْتَخْدِمُهُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمُلُوكٌ عِظَامٌ.

And all nations shall serue him, and his sonne, and his sonnes sonne vntill the very time of his lande come also: then many nations and great Kinges shall serue themselues of him.

٨ 8 وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلْأُمَّةَ أَوِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَخْدِمُ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، وَٱلَّتِي لَا تَجْعَلُ عُنُقَهَا تَحْتَ نِيرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، إِنِّي أُعَاقِبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهَا بِيَدِهِ.

And the nation and kingdome which will not serue the same Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and that will not put their necke vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, the same nation will I visite, saith the Lord, with the sworde, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, vntill I haue wholy giuen them into his hands.

٩ 9 فَلَا تَسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ لِأَنْبِيَائِكُمْ وَعَرَّافِيكُمْ وَحَالِمِيكُمْ وَعَائِفِيكُمْ وَسَحَرَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَخْدِمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ.

Therefore heare not your prophets nor your southsayers, nor your dreamers, nor your inchanters, nor your sorcerers, which say vnto you thus, Ye shall not serue the King of Babel.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، لِكَيْ يُبْعِدُوكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ، وَلِأَطْرُدَكُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا.

For they prophecie a lie vnto you to cause you to goe farre from your lande, and that I should cast you out, and you should perish.

١١ 11 وَٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي تُدْخِلُ عُنُقَهَا تَحْتَ نِيرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتَخْدِمُهُ، أَجْعَلُهَا تَسْتَقِرُّ فِي أَرْضِهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَتَعْمَلُهَا وَتَسْكُنُ بِهَا».

But the nation that put their neckes vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, and serue him, those wil I let remaine stil in their owne land, saith the Lord, and they shall occupie it, and dwel therein.

١٢ 12 وَكَلَّمْتُ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، قَائِلًا: «أَدْخِلُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ تَحْتَ نِيرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَٱخْدِمُوهُ وَشَعْبَهُ وَٱحْيَوْا.

I spake also to Zedekiah king of Iudah according to all these wordes, saying, Put your neckes vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, and serue him and his people, that ye may liue.

١٣ 13 لِمَاذَا تَمُوتُونَ أَنْتَ وَشَعْبُكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ بِٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَخْدِمُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ؟

Why will ye dye, thou, and thy people by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation, that will not serue the King of Babel?

١٤ 14 فَلَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَخْدِمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ.

Therefore heare not the words of the prophets, that speake vnto you, saying, Ye shall not serue the King of Babel: for they prophecie a lie vnto you.

١٥ 15 لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، بَلْ هُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِٱسْمِي بِٱلْكَذِبِ، لِكَيْ أَطْرُدَكُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا أَنْتُمْ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ».

For I haue not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophecie a lie in my name, that I might cast you out, and that ye might perish, both you, and the prophets that prophecie vnto you.

١٦ 16 وَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَكُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ أَنْبِيَائِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: هَا آنِيَةُ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَتُرَدُّ سَرِيعًا مِنْ بَابِلَ. لِأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ.

Also I spake to the Priests, and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Heare not the wordes of your prophets that prophecie vnto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall nowe shortly be brought againe from Babel, for they prophecie a lie vnto you.

١٧ 17 لَا تَسْمَعُوا لَهُمْ. اُخْدِمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَٱحْيَوْا. لِمَاذَا تَصِيرُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ خَرِبَةً؟

Heare them not, but serue the King of Babel, that ye may liue: wherefore shoulde this citie be desolate?

١٨ 18 فَإِنْ كَانُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَهُمْ، فَلْيَتَوَسَّلُوا إِلَى رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ لِكَيْ لَا تَذْهَبَ إِلَى بَابِلَ ٱلْآنِيَةُ ٱلْبَاقِيَةُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

But if they be Prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them intreate the Lord of hostes, that the vessels, which are left in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the King of Iudah, and at Ierusalem, go not to Babel.

١٩ 19 «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَنِ ٱلْأَعْمِدَةِ وَعَنِ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَنِ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ،

For thus saith the Lord of hostes, concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remaine in this citie,

٢٠ 20 ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يَأْخُذْهَا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عِنْدَ سَبْيِهِ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ.

Which Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel tooke not, when he caryed away captiue Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah from Ierusalem to Babel, with all the nobles of Iudah and Ierusalem.

٢١ 21 إِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ:

For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remaine in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the King of Iudah, and at Ierusalem,

٢٢ 22 يُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱفْتِقَادِي إِيَّاهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَأُصْعِدُهَا وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ».

They shall be brought to Babel, and there they shalbe vntil the day that I visite them, saith the Lord: then will I bring them vp, and restore them vnto this place.
