إِرْمِيَا 37
| وَمَلَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ يُوشِيَّا مَكَانَ كُنْيَاهُو بْنِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ، ٱلَّذِي مَلَّكَهُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ 1 |
And King Zedekiah son of Josiah reigns instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had caused to reign in the land of Judah,
| وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ هُوَ وَلَا عَبِيدُهُ وَلَا شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ. | ٢ 2 |
and he has not listened—he, and his servants, and the people of the land—to the words of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
| وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا يَهُوخَلَ بْنَ شَلَمْيَا، وَصَفَنْيَا بْنَ مَعْسِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: «صَلِّ لِأَجْلِنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا». | ٣ 3 |
And Zedekiah the king sends Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray, we implore you, for us to our God YHWH.”
| وَكَانَ إِرْمِيَا يَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا قَدْ جَعَلُوهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ٤ 4 |
And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the people (and they have not put him in the prison-house),
| وَخَرَجَ جَيْشُ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ ٱلْمُحَاصِرُونَ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِخَبَرِهِمْ، صَعِدُوا عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٥ 5 |
and the force of Pharaoh has come out of Egypt, and the Chaldeans who are laying siege against Jerusalem hear their report, and go up from off Jerusalem.
| فَصَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلَةً: | ٦ 6 |
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِمَلِكِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَكُمْ إِلَيَّ لِتَسْتَشِيرُونِي: هَا إِنَّ جَيْشَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلْخَارِجَ إِلَيْكُمْ لِمُسَاعَدَتِكُمْ، يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ٧ 7 |
“Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Thus you say to the king of Judah who is sending you to Me, to seek Me: Behold, the force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help has turned back to its land, to Egypt,
| وَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ وَيُحَارِبُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَيَأْخُذُونَهَا وَيُحْرِقُونَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٨ 8 |
and the Chaldeans have turned back and fought against this city, and captured it, and burned it with fire.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَخْدَعُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ سَيَذْهَبُونَ عَنَّا، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَذْهَبُونَ. | ٩ 9 |
Thus said YHWH: Do not lift up your souls, saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;
| لِأَنَّكُمْ وَإِنْ ضَرَبْتُمْ كُلَّ جَيْشِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَكُمْ، وَبَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ رِجَالٌ قَدْ طُعِنُوا، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقُومُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ وَيُحْرِقُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ». | ١٠ 10 |
for though you had struck all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men—they rise, each in his tent, and have burned this city with fire.”
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا أُصْعِدَ جَيْشُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ وَجْهِ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ، | ١١ 11 |
And it has come to pass, in the going up of the force of the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of Pharaoh,
| أَنَّ إِرْمِيَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنْيَامِينَ لِيَنْسَابَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ١٢ 12 |
that Jeremiah goes out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land of Benjamin, to receive a portion there in the midst of the people.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ فِي بَابِ بَنْيَامِينَ، إِذَا هُنَاكَ نَاظِرُ ٱلْحُرَّاسِ، ٱسْمُهُ يَرْئِيَّا بْنُ شَلَمْيَا بْنُ حَنَنِيَّا، فَقَبَضَ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّكَ تَقَعُ لِلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And it comes to pass, he is at the Gate of Benjamin, and there [is] a master of the ward, and his name is Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah; and he catches Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا: «كَذِبٌ! لَا أَقَعُ لِلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ». وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُ، فَقَبَضَ يَرْئِيَّا عَلَى إِرْمِيَا وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Jeremiah says, “Falsehood! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans”; and he has not listened to him, and Irijah lays hold on Jeremiah, and brings him to the heads,
| فَغَضِبَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا، وَضَرَبُوهُ وَجَعَلُوهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، فِي بَيْتِ يُونَاثَانَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ جَعَلُوهُ بَيْتَ ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ١٥ 15 |
and the heads are angry against Jeremiah, and have struck him, and put him in the prison-house—the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made it for a prison-house.
| فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ إِرْمِيَا إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْجُبِّ، وَإِلَى ٱلْمُقَبَّبَاتِ، أَقَامَ إِرْمِيَا هُنَاكَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. | ١٦ 16 |
When Jeremiah has entered into the house of the dungeon, and to the cells, then Jeremiah dwells there many days,
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا وَأَخَذَهُ، وَسَأَلَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ سِرًّا وَقَالَ: «هَلْ تُوجَدُ كَلِمَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟» فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا: «تُوجَدُ». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ تُدْفَعُ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ». | ١٧ 17 |
and King Zedekiah sends, and takes him, and the king asks him in his house in secret, and says, “Is there a word from YHWH?” And Jeremiah says, “There is,” and he says, “You are given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا: «مَا هِيَ خَطِيَّتِي إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى عَبِيدِكَ وَإِلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، حَتَّى جَعَلْتُمُونِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
And Jeremiah says to King Zedekiah, “What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have put me into a prison-house?
| فَأَيْنَ أَنْبِيَاؤُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا لَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: لَا يَأْتِي مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلَا عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon does not come in against you, and against this land?
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ. لِيَقَعْ تَضَرُّعِي أَمَامَكَ، وَلَا تَرُدَّنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ يُونَاثَانَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، فَلَا أَمُوتَ هُنَاكَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my supplication fall before you, and do not cause me to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I do not die there.”
| فَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا أَنْ يَضَعُوا إِرْمِيَا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَأَنْ يُعْطَى رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ سُوقِ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ، حَتَّى يَنْفُدَ كُلُّ ٱلْخُبْزِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. فَأَقَامَ إِرْمِيَا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And King Zedekiah commands, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give a cake of bread to him daily from the bakers’ street, until the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
