إِرْمِيَا 30

١ 1 اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:

٢ 2 «هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: ٱكْتُبْ كُلَّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي سِفْرٍ،

This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ آبَاءَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا فَيَمْتَلِكُونَهَا».

Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.

٤ 4 فَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَنْ يَهُوذَا:

This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.

٥ 5 «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: صَوْتَ ٱرْتِعَادٍ سَمِعْنَا. خَوْفٌ وَلَا سَلَامٌ.

This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not peace.

٦ 6 اِسْأَلُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا إِنْ كَانَ ذَكَرٌ يَضَعُ! لِمَاذَا أَرَى كُلَّ رَجُلٍ يَدَاهُ عَلَى حَقْوَيْهِ كَمَاخِضٍ، وَتَحَوَّلَ كُلُّ وَجْهٍ إِلَى صُفْرَةٍ؟

Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?

٧ 7 آهِ! لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَظِيمٌ وَلَيْسَ مِثْلُهُ. وَهُوَ وَقْتُ ضِيقٍ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيُخَلَّصُ مِنْهُ.

What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from it.

٨ 8 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، أَنِّي أَكْسِرُ نِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ، وَأَقْطَعُ رُبُطَكَ، وَلَا يَسْتَعْبِدُهُ بَعْدُ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ،

On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.

٩ 9 بَلْ يَخْدِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَدَاوُدَ مَلِكَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي أُقِيمُهُ لَهُمْ.

They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give them.

١٠ 10 «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ فَلَا تَخَفْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُخَلِّصُكَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَنَسْلَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِ، فَيَرْجِعُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَطْمَئِنُّ وَيَسْتَرِيحُ وَلَا مُزْعِجَ.

As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.

١١ 11 لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأُخَلِّصَكَ. وَإِنْ أَفْنَيْتُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدْتُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَأَنْتَ لَا أُفْنِيكَ، بَلْ أُؤَدِّبُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَلَا أُبَرِّئُكَ تَبْرِئَةً.

I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: كَسْرُكِ عَدِيمُ ٱلْجَبْرِ وَجُرْحُكِ عُضَالٌ.

This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.

١٣ 13 لَيْسَ مَنْ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَكِ لِلْعَصْرِ. لَيْسَ لَكِ عَقَاقِيرُ رِفَادَةٍ.

There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.

١٤ 14 قَدْ نَسِيَكِ كُلُّ مُحِبِّيكِ. إِيَّاكِ لَمْ يَطْلُبُوا. لِأَنِّي ضَرَبْتُكِ ضِرْبَةَ عَدُوٍّ، تَأْدِيبَ قَاسٍ، لِأَنَّ إِثْمَكِ قَدْ كَثُرَ، وَخَطَايَاكِ تَعَاظَمَتْ.

All your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.

١٥ 15 مَا بَالُكِ تَصْرُخِينَ بِسَبَبِ كَسْرِكِ؟ جُرْحُكِ عَدِيمُ ٱلْبَرْءِ، لِأَنَّ إِثْمَكِ قَدْ كَثُرَ، وَخَطَايَاكِ تَعَاظَمَتْ، قَدْ صَنَعْتُ هَذِهِ بِكِ.

Why are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.

١٦ 16 لِذَلِكَ يُؤْكَلُ كُلُّ آكِلِيكِ، وَيَذْهَبُ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِكِ قَاطِبَةً إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ، وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ سَالِبِيكِ سَلْبًا، وَأَدْفَعُ كُلَّ نَاهِبِيكِ لِلنَّهْبِ.

Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.

١٧ 17 لِأَنِّي أَرْفُدُكِ وَأَشْفِيكِ مِنْ جُرُوحِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَعَوْكِ مَنْفِيَّةَ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلَّتِي لَا سَائِلَ عَنْهَا.

But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.

١٨ 18 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ خِيَامِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَرْحَمُ مَسَاكِنَهُ، وَتُبْنَى ٱلْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى تَلِّهَا، وَٱلْقَصْرُ يُسْكَنُ عَلَى عَادَتِهِ.

This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.

١٩ 19 وَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ ٱللَّاعِبِينَ، وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ وَلَا يَقِلُّونَ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَصْغُرُونَ.

People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.

٢٠ 20 وَيَكُونُ بَنُوهُمْ كَمَا فِي ٱلْقَدِيمِ، وَجَمَاعَتُهُمْ تَثْبُتُ أَمَامِي، وَأُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ.

Their children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks them.

٢١ 21 وَيَكُونُ حَاكِمُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ، وَيَخْرُجُ وَالِيهِمْ مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ، وَأُقَرِّبُهُ فَيَدْنُو إِلَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَرْهَنَ قَلْبَهُ لِيَدْنُوَ إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟

Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.

٢٢ 22 وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا».

You will be my people, and I will be your God.

٢٣ 23 هُوَذَا زَوْبَعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَخْرُجُ بِغَضَبٍ، نَوْءٌ جَارِفٌ. عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَثُورُ.

Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.

٢٤ 24 لَا يَرْتَدُّ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ، وَحَتَّى يُقِيمَ مَقَاصِدَ قَلْبِهِ. فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ تَفْهَمُونَهَا.

The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
