إِرْمِيَا 43

١ 1 وَكَانَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ أَنْ كَلَّمَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ،بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلكَلَامِ،

When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

٢ 2 أَنَّ عَزَرْيَا بْنَ هُوشَعْيَا وَيُوحَانَانَ بْنَ قَارِيحَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ كَلَّمُوا إِرْمِيَا قَائِلِينَ: «أَنْتَ مُتَكَلِّمٌ بِٱلْكَذِبِ! لَمْ يُرْسِلْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا لِتَقُولَ: لَا تَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ لِتَتَغَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ.

then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’

٣ 3 بَلْ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا مُهَيِّجُكَ عَلَيْنَا لِتَدْفَعَنَا لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَقْتُلُونَا، وَلِيَسْبُونَا إِلَى بَابِلَ».

but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.”

٤ 4 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْإِقَامَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا،

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.

٥ 5 بَلْ أَخَذَ يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ، كُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طُوِّحُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لِيَتَغَرَّبُوا فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا،

But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah—

٦ 6 ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَبَنَاتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، مَعَ جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ، وَإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا،

the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

٧ 7 فَجَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى تَحْفَنْحِيسَ.

They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn’t obey the LORD’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ قَائِلَةً:

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

٩ 9 «خُذْ بِيَدِكَ حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً وَٱطْمُرْهَا فِي ٱلْمِلَاطِ، فِي ٱلْمَلْبِنِ ٱلَّذِي عِنْدَ بَابِ بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ أَمَامَ رِجَالٍ يَهُودٍ.

“Take great stones in your hand and hide them in mortar in the brick work which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.

١٠ 10 وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ وَآخُذُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَضَعُ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ ٱلَّتِي طَمَرْتُهَا فَيُبْسِطُ دِيبَاجَهُ عَلَيْهَا.

Tell them, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.

١١ 11 وَيَأْتِي وَيَضْرِبُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ، ٱلَّذِي لِلْمَوْتِ فَلِلْمَوْتِ، وَٱلَّذِي لِلسَّبْيِ فَلِلسَّبْيِ، وَٱلَّذِي لِلسَّيْفِ فَلِلسَّيْفِ.

He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

١٢ 12 وَأُوقِدُ نَارًا فِي بُيُوتِ آلِهَةِ مِصْرَ فَيُحْرِقُهَا وَيَسْبِيهَا، وَيَلْبَسُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ كَمَا يَلْبَسُ ٱلرَّاعِي رِدَاءَهُ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِسَلَامٍ.

I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.

١٣ 13 وَيَكْسِرُ أَنْصَابَ بَيْتَ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَيُحْرِقُ بُيُوتَ آلِهَةِ مِصْرَ بِٱلنَّارِ».

He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
