< إِرْمِيَا 31 >
«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ إِلَهًا لِكُلِّ عَشَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. | ١ 1 |
“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ وَجَدَ نِعْمَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْبَاقِي عَنِ ٱلسَّيْفِ، إِسْرَائِيلُ حِينَ سِرْتُ لِأُرِيحَهُ». | ٢ 2 |
This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
تَرَاءَى لِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ: «وَمَحَبَّةً أَبَدِيَّةً أَحْبَبْتُكِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَدَمْتُ لَكِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ. | ٣ 3 |
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
سَأَبْنِيكِ بَعْدُ، فَتُبْنَيْنَ يَا عَذْرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. تَتَزَيَّنِينَ بَعْدُ بِدُفُوفِكِ، وَتَخْرُجِينَ فِي رَقْصِ ٱللَّاعِبِينَ. | ٤ 4 |
Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
تَغْرِسِينَ بَعْدُ كُرُومًا فِي جِبَالِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. يَغْرِسُ ٱلْغَارِسُونَ وَيَبْتَكِرُونَ. | ٥ 5 |
Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.
لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي فِيهِ ٱلنَّوَاطِيرُ فِي جِبَالِ أَفْرَايِمَ: قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ٦ 6 |
For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: رَنِّمُوا لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرَحًا، وَٱهْتِفُوا بِرَأْسِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. سَمِّعُوا، سَبِّحُوا، وَقُولُوا: خَلِّصْ يَارَبُّ شَعْبَكَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
هَأَنَذَا آتِي بِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. بَيْنَهُمُ ٱلْأَعْمَى وَٱلْأَعْرَجُ، ٱلْحُبْلَى وَٱلْمَاخِضُ مَعًا. جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى هُنَا. | ٨ 8 |
Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!
بِٱلْبُكَاءِ يَأْتُونَ، وَبِٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ أَقُودُهُمْ. أُسَيِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَنْهَارِ مَاءٍ فِي طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لَا يَعْثُرُونَ فِيهَا. لِأَنِّي صِرْتُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبًا، وَأَفْرَايِمُ هُوَ بِكْرِي. | ٩ 9 |
They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
«اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ، وَأَخْبِرُوا فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ، وَقُولُوا: مُبَدِّدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَجْمَعُهُ وَيَحْرُسُهُ كَرَاعٍ قَطِيعَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فَدَى يَعْقُوبَ وَفَكَّهُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
فَيَأْتُونَ وَيُرَنِّمُونَ فِي مُرْتَفَعِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيَجْرُونَ إِلَى جُودِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلْخَمْرِ وَعَلَى ٱلزَّيْتِ وَعَلَى أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ. وَتَكُونُ نَفْسُهُمْ كَجَنَّةٍ رَيَّا، وَلَا يَعُودُونَ يَذُوبُونَ بَعْدُ. | ١٢ 12 |
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD— the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.
حِينَئِذٍ تَفْرَحُ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ بِٱلرَّقْصِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ مَعًا. وَأُحَوِّلُ نَوْحَهُمْ إِلَى طَرَبٍ، وَأُعَزِّيهِمْ وَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ مِنْ حُزْنِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
وَأُرْوِي نَفْسَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ ٱلدَّسَمِ، وَيَشْبَعُ شَعْبِي مِنْ جُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٤ 14 |
I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,”
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: صَوْتٌ سُمِعَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، نَوْحٌ، بُكَاءٌ مُرٌّ. رَاحِيلُ تَبْكِي عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا، وَتَأْبَى أَنْ تَتَعَزَّى عَنْ أَوْلَادِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ. | ١٥ 15 |
This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱمْنَعِي صَوْتَكِ عَنِ ٱلْبُكَاءِ، وَعَيْنَيْكِ عَنِ ٱلدُّمُوعِ، لِأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ جَزَاءٌ لِعَمَلِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَرْجِعُونَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.
وَيُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ لِآخِرَتِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ إِلَى تُخُمِهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
So there is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children will return to their own land.
«سَمْعًا سَمِعْتُ أَفْرَايِمَ يَنْتَحِبُ: أَدَّبْتَنِي فَتَأَدَّبْتُ كَعِجْلٍ غَيْرِ مَرُوضٍ. تَوِّبْنِي فَأَتُوبَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي. | ١٨ 18 |
I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
لِأَنِّي بَعْدَ رُجُوعِي نَدِمْتُ، وَبَعْدَ تَعَلُّمِي صَفَقْتُ عَلَى فَخْذِي. خَزِيتُ وَخَجِلْتُ لِأَنِّي قَدْ حَمَلْتُ عَارَ صِبَايَ. | ١٩ 19 |
After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
هَلْ أَفْرَايِمُ ٱبْنٌ عَزِيزٌ لَدَيَّ، أَوْ وَلَدٌ مُسِرٌّ؟ لِأَنِّي كُلَّمَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ أَذْكُرُهُ بَعْدُ ذِكْرًا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَنَّتْ أَحْشَائِي إِلَيْهِ. رَحْمَةً أَرْحَمُهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,”
«اِنْصِبِي لِنَفْسِكِ صُوًى. ٱجْعَلِي لِنَفْسِكِ أَنْصَابًا. ٱجْعَلِي قَلْبَكِ نَحْوَ ٱلسِّكَّةِ، ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي ذَهَبْتِ فِيهَا. ٱرْجِعِي يَا عَذْرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٱرْجِعِي إِلَى مُدُنِكِ هَذِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
“Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.
حَتَّى مَتَى تَطُوفِينَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبِنْتُ ٱلْمُرْتَدَّةُ؟ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ خَلَقَ شَيْئًا حَدِيثًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. أُنْثَى تُحِيطُ بِرَجُلٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِهَا، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ: يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَا مَسْكِنَ ٱلْبِرِّ، يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
فَيَسْكُنُ فِيهِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ مُدُنِهِ مَعًا، ٱلْفَّلَاحُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُسَرِّحُونَ ٱلْقُطْعَانَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
لِأَنِّي أَرْوَيْتُ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلْمُعْيِيَةَ، وَمَلَأْتُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِبَةٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ وَلَذَّ لِي نَوْمِي. | ٢٦ 26 |
At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَزْرَعُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْتَ يَهُوذَا بِزَرْعِ إِنْسَانٍ وَزَرْعِ حَيَوَانٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
وَيَكُونُ كَمَا سَهِرْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلِٱقْتِلَاعِ وَٱلْهَدْمِ وَٱلْقَرْضِ وَٱلْإِهْلَاكِ وَٱلْأَذَى، كَذَلِكَ أَسْهَرُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلْبِنَاءِ وَٱلْغَرْسِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَا يَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ: ٱلْآبَاءُ أَكَلُوا حِصْرِمًا، وَأَسْنَانُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ ضَرِسَتْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
“In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ. كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْحِصْرِمَ تَضْرَسُ أَسْنَانُهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَهْدًا جَدِيدًا. | ٣١ 31 |
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
لَيْسَ كَٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ يَوْمَ أَمْسَكْتُهُمْ بِيَدِهِمْ لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، حِينَ نَقَضُوا عَهْدِي فَرَفَضْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,”
بَلْ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْعَهْدُ ٱلَّذِي أَقْطَعُهُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَجْعَلُ شَرِيعَتِي فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
وَلَا يُعَلِّمُونَ بَعْدُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ صَاحِبَهُ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ، قَائِلِينَ: ٱعْرِفُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ سَيَعْرِفُونَنِي مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنِّي أَصْفَحُ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ بَعْدُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلشَّمْسَ لِلْإِضَاءَةِ نَهَارًا، وَفَرَائِضَ ٱلْقَمَرِ وَٱلنُّجُومِ لِلْإِضَاءَةِ لَيْلًا، ٱلزَّاجِرُ ٱلْبَحْرَ حِينَ تَعِجُّ أَمْوَاجُهُ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ: | ٣٥ 35 |
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:
إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضُ تَزُولُ مِنْ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَإِنَّ نَسْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا يَكُفُّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أُمَّةً أَمَامِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
“Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُقَاسُ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَتُفْحَصُ أَسَاسَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا أَرْفُضُ كُلَّ نَسْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٧ 37 |
This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,”
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَتُبْنَى ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ بُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، | ٣٨ 38 |
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when this city will be rebuilt for Me, from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
وَيَخْرُجُ بَعْدُ خَيْطُ ٱلْقِيَاسِ مُقَابِلَهُ عَلَى أَكَمَةِ جَارِبَ، وَيَسْتَدِيرُ إِلَى جَوْعَةَ، | ٣٩ 39 |
The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ وَادِي ٱلْجُثَثِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْحُقُولِ إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ إِلَى زَاوِيَةِ بَابِ ٱلْخَيْلِ شَرْقًا، قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تُقْلَعُ وَلَا تُهْدَمُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
