إِرْمِيَا 32
| اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعَاشِرَةِ لِصِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، هِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلثَّامِنَةُ عَشَرَةَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ، | ١ 1 |
This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah's reign, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign.
| وَكَانَ حِينَئِذٍ جَيْشُ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ يُحَاصِرُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَحْبُوسًا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، | ٢ 2 |
This was when the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the guard's courtyard, part of the king of Judah's palace.
| لِأَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا حَبَسَهُ قَائِلًا: «لِمَاذَا تَنَبَّأْتَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَأْخُذُهَا؟ | ٣ 3 |
Zedekiah king of Judah had put him in prison, telling him: “Why do you have to prophesy like this? You say the Lord is saying, ‘Look, I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
| وَصِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لَا يُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ بَلْ إِنَّمَا يُدْفَعُ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَيُكَلِّمُهُ فَمًا لِفَمٍ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَرَيَانِ عَيْنَيْهِ، | ٤ 4 |
Zedekiah king of Judah won't escape from the Babylonians. He will be captured and taken to the king of Babylon to speak with him personally and see him face to face.
| وَيَسِيرُ بِصِدْقِيَّا إِلَى بَابِلَ فَيَكُونُ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى أَفْتَقِدَهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. إِنْ حَارَبْتُمُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لَا تَنْجَحُونَ». | ٥ 5 |
He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he'll remain until I deal with him, declares the Lord. You won't be successful if you fight against the Babylonians.’”
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا: «كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَتْ إِلَيَّ قَائِلَةً: | ٦ 6 |
Jeremiah answered, “The Lord gave me a message, saying:
| هُوَذَا حَنَمْئِيلُ بْنُ شَلُّومَ عَمِّكَ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: ٱشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ حَقْلِي ٱلَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ ٱلْفِكَاكِ لِلشِّرَاءِ». | ٧ 7 |
Your cousin Hanamel, son of Shallum, is coming to tell you, ‘Why don't you buy my field in Anathoth because you have the right to redeem it and buy it?’
| فَجَاءَ إِلَيَّ حَنَمْئِيلُ ٱبْنُ عَمِّي حَسَبَ كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَقَالَ لِي: «ٱشْتَرِ حَقْلِي ٱلَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ ٱلْإِرْثِ، وَلَكَ ٱلْفِكَاكُ. ٱشْتَرِهِ لِنَفْسِكَ». فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٨ 8 |
Just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel arrived to see me in the guard's courtyard and asked me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin because you have the right of family ownership to redeem it. You should buy it for yourself.’” This convinced me that this was a message from the Lord.
| فَٱشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْ حَنَمْئِيلَ ٱبْنِ عَمِّي ٱلْحَقْلَ ٱلَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ، وَوَزَنْتُ لَهُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ، سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَاقِلًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver to pay him.
| وَكَتَبْتُهُ فِي صَكٍّ وَخَتَمْتُ وَأَشْهَدْتُ شُهُودًا، وَوَزَنْتُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ بِمَوَازِينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
I signed the deed and sealed it, had it witnessed, and weighed out the silver using the scales.
| وَأَخَذْتُ صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ ٱلْمَخْتُومَ حَسَبَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ وَٱلْفَرِيضَةِ وَٱلْمَفْتُوحَ. | ١١ 11 |
Then I took the deed of sale, both the sealed original containing the terms and conditions, and the unsealed copy,
| وَسَلَّمْتُ صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَا أَمَامَ حَنَمْئِيلَ ٱبْنِ عَمِّي، وَأَمَامَ ٱلشُّهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمْضَوْا صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ١٢ 12 |
and handed them to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the deed of sale, and all the people of Judah who were sitting there in the guard's courtyard.
| وَأَوْصَيْتُ بَارُوخَ أَمَامَهُمْ قَائِلًا: | ١٣ 13 |
I gave Baruch these instructions in front of them,
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: خُذْ هَذَيْنِ ٱلصَّكَّيْنِ، صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ هَذَا ٱلْمَخْتُومَ، وَٱلصَّكَّ ٱلْمَفْتُوحَ هَذَا، وَٱجْعَلْهُمَا فِي إِنَاءٍ مِنْ خَزَفٍ لِكَيْ يَبْقَيَا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Put these deeds of sale, the sealed original and the open copy, in a clay jar so they can be kept safe for a long time.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَشْتَرُونَ بَعْدُ بُيُوتًا وَحُقُولًا وَكُرُومًا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٥ 15 |
For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The time will come when once again houses, fields, and vineyards will be bought in this country.”
| ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدَ تَسْلِيمِ صَكِّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا قَائِلًا: | ١٦ 16 |
After I had given the deed of sale to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
| «آهِ، أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَا إِنَّكَ قَدْ صَنَعْتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقُوَّتِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، وَبِذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ. لَا يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
“Ah, Lord God! You created the heavens and the earth by your great strength and power. Nothing is too hard for you!
| صَانِعُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ لِأُلُوفٍ، وَمُجَازِي ذَنْبِ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي حِضْنِ بَنِيهِمْ بَعْدَهُمُ، ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْجَبَّارُ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
You give your trustworthy love to thousands, but you punish the sins of the fathers the consequences affect their children too., Great and powerful God whose name is the Lord Almighty,
| عَظِيمٌ فِي ٱلْمَشُورَةِ، وَقَادِرٌ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ، ٱلَّذِي عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ عَلَى كُلِّ طُرُقِ بَنِي آدَمَ لِتُعْطِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ طُرُقِهِ، وَحَسَبَ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
you are the one who is supremely wise and who does incredible things. You watch what everyone does, and you reward them according to the way they live and what their actions deserve.
| ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتَ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي ٱلنَّاسِ، وَجَعَلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱسْمًا كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
You carried out signs and miracles in Egypt, and you still do so today, both here in Israel and among all people everywhere. As a result you gained a great reputation, and this is still true today.
| وَأَخْرَجْتَ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ، وَبِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ وَمَخَافَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، | ٢١ 21 |
You led your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and miracles, with your great power and strength that terrified people.
| وَأَعْطَيْتَهُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. | ٢٢ 22 |
You gave them this land that you had promised to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
| فَأَتَوْا وَٱمْتَلَكُوهَا، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِكَ، وَلَا سَارُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِكَ. كُلُّ مَا أَوْصَيْتَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلُوهُ، فَأَوْقَعْتَ بِهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ. | ٢٣ 23 |
They came and took it over, but they didn't do what you said or follow your laws. They didn't do everything you ordered them to do, which is why you've brought all this disaster down on them.
| هَا ٱلْمَتَارِسُ! قَدْ أَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِيَأْخُذُوهَا، وَقَدْ دُفِعَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَهَا بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ، وَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ فَقَدْ حَدَثَ، وَهَا أَنْتَ نَاظِرٌ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Look at the siege ramps piled up against the city to capture it! Through war and famine and disease, the city will be taken by the Babylonians who are attacking it. You can see that everything you said would happen has happened.
| وَقَدْ قُلْتَ أَنْتَ لِي أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱلْحَقْلَ بِفِضَّةٍ وَأَشْهِدْ شُهُودًا، وَقَدْ دُفِعَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
Yet, Lord God, you have told me, ‘Buy yourself the field with silver in front of witnesses, even though the city has been handed over to the Babylonians!’”
| ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً: | ٢٦ 26 |
Then Lord gave Jeremiah this message:
| «هَأَنَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ. هَلْ يَعْسُرُ عَلَيَّ أَمْرٌ مَّا؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Look! I am the Lord, the God of everyone. Is anything too hard for me to do?
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَأْخُذُهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
So this is what the Lord says: Listen! I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon and the Babylonians, and they will capture it.
| فَيَأْتِي ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، فَيُشْعِلُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَيُحْرِقُونَهَا وَٱلْبُيُوتَ ٱلَّتِي بَخَّرُوا عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا لِلْبَعْلِ وَسَكَبُوا سَكَائِبَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيُغِيظُونِي. | ٢٩ 29 |
The Babylonians who are attacking the city are going to come and set fire to it. They will burn it down, including the houses belonging to the people who made me angry by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops, and by pouring out drink offerings in worship of other gods.
| لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُمْ. لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّمَا أَغَاظُونِي بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
From their earliest days all the people of Israel and of Judah have ever done has been evil in my sight. In fact all they've even done is to make me angry through their actions, declares the Lord.
| لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ صَارَتْ لِي لِغَضَبِي وَلِغَيْظِي مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ بَنَوْهَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنْزِعَهَا مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِي | ٣١ 31 |
This city has been such a source of anger and frustration from the time it was built right up till now. So I'm going to get rid of it,
| مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُوهُ لِيُغِيظُونِي بِهِ، هُمْ وَمُلُوكُهُمْ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ وَكَهَنَتُهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ وَرِجَالُ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
because of all the evil things the people of Israel and Judah did that made me angry—their kings, and officials, their priests and prophets, all of those living in Judah and Jerusalem, everyone
| وَقَدْ حَوَّلُوا لِي ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ. وَقَدْ عَلَّمْتُهُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُعَلِّمًا، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِيَقْبَلُوا أَدَبًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
They have turned their backs on me. They wouldn't even look at me. Even though I kept on trying to teach them, they refused to listen or accept instruction.
| بَلْ وَضَعُوا مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي، لِيُنَجِّسُوهُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
They have put their disgusting idols in my Temple, making it unclean.
| وَبَنَوْا ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَاتِ لِلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، لِيُجِيزُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ لِمُولَكَ، ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُوصِهِمْ بِهِ، وَلَا صَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِي، لِيَعْمَلُوا هَذَا ٱلرِّجْسَ، لِيَجْعَلُوا يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
They have built pagan shrines to Baal in the Valley of Hinnom so they could sacrifice their sons and daughters by burning them in the fire. This is something I never commanded. I never even thought of such a thing—doing something so awful and making the people of Judah guilty of sin.
| «وَٱلْآنَ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ دُفِعَتْ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ: | ٣٦ 36 |
Now about this city. You are correctly saying, “It's going be handed over to the king of Babylon through war and famine and disease.” However, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:
| هَأَنَذَا أَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا بِغَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي وَبِسُخْطٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَأُسَكِّنُهُمْ آمِنِينَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
I promise to gather my people from all the lands where I exiled them because they made me so very angry. I will bring them back here and they will live in safety.
| وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا. | ٣٨ 38 |
They will be my people, and I will be their God.
| وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا وَطَرِيقًا وَاحِدًا لِيَخَافُونِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، لِخَيْرِهِمْ وَخَيْرِ أَوْلَادِهِمْ بَعْدَهُمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
I will make sure they think the same way and act in harmony, so that they will always honor me so all will be good for them and their descendants.
| وَأَقْطَعُ لَهُمْ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا أَنِّي لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُمْ لِأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَجْعَلُ مَخَافَتِي فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يَحِيدُونَ عَنِّي. | ٤٠ 40 |
I will make an everlasting agreement with them: I'm never going to stop doing them good and I will help them to respect me so that they won't ever abandon me.
| وَأَفْرَحُ بِهِمْ لِأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَغْرِسَهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِي. | ٤١ 41 |
I will be delighted to treat them well, and I will commit myself with the whole of my being to helping them to grow as a nation in this land.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: كَمَا جَلَبْتُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، هَكَذَا أَجْلِبُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
This is what the Lord says: Just as certainly as I have brought this whole disaster down on my people, so I'm going to give to them all the good things I have promised.
| فَتُشْتَرَى ٱلْحُقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا خَرِبَةٌ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ وَبِلَا حَيَوَانٍ، وَقَدْ دُفِعَتْ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Fields will once again be bought in this country that you're describing, saying, “It's been completely destroyed—no people or animals are left. It's been handed over to the Babylonians.”
| يَشْتَرُونَ ٱلْحُقُولَ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَيَكْتُبُونَ ذَلِكَ فِي صُكُوكٍ، وَيَخْتِمُونَ وَيُشْهِدُونَ شُهُودًا فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَحَوَالَيْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمُدُنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، لِأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٤٤ 44 |
People will buy fields with silver again, deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed. This will happen here in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in all the towns of Judah—including the towns of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will bring the people back from exile, declares the Lord.
