إِرْمِيَا 48

١ 1 عَنْ مُوآبَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: وَيْلٌ لِنَبُو لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. خَزِيَتْ وَأُخِذَتْ قَرْيَتَايِمُ. خَزِيَتْ مِسْجَابُ وَٱرْتَعَبَتْ.

Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.

٢ 2 لَيْسَ مَوْجُودًا بَعْدُ فَخْرُ مُوآبَ. فِي حَشْبُونَ فَكَّرُوا عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا. هَلُمَّ فَنَقْرِضُهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةً. وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا يَا مَدْمِينُ تُصَمِّينَ وَيَذْهَبُ وَرَاءَكِ ٱلسَّيْفُ.

The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.

٣ 3 صَوْتُ صِيَاحٍ مِنْ حُورُونَايِمَ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ عَظِيمٌ.

The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!

٤ 4 قَدْ حُطِّمَتْ مُوآبُ، وَأَسْمَعَ صِغَارُهَا صُرَاخًا.

Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ فِي عَقَبَةِ لُوحِيتَ يَصْعَدُ بُكَاءٌ عَلَى بُكَاءٍ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي مُنْحَدَرِ حُورُونَايِمَ سَمِعَ ٱلْأَعْدَاءُ صُرَاخَ ٱنْكِسَارٍ.

For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

٦ 6 ٱهْرُبُوا نَجُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ، وَكُونُوا كَعَرْعَرٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.

٧ 7 «فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱتِّكَالِكِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِكِ وَعَلَى خَزَائِنِكِ سَتُؤْخَذِينَ أَنْتِ أَيْضًا، وَيَخْرُجُ كَمُوشُ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ، كَهَنَتُهُ ورُؤَسَاؤُهُ مَعًا.

For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

٨ 8 وَيَأْتِي ٱلْمُهْلِكُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، فَلَا تُفْلِتُ مَدِينَةٌ، فَيَبِيدُ ٱلْوَطَاءُ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلسَّهْلُ كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.

٩ 9 أَعْطُوا مُوآبَ جَنَاحًا لِأَنَّهَا تَخْرُجُ طَائِرَةً وَتَصِيرُ مُدُنُهَا خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ فِيهَا.

Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.

١٠ 10 مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِرِخَاءٍ، وَمَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَمْنَعُ سَيْفَهُ عَنِ ٱلدَّمِ.

“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

١١ 11 «مُسْتَرِيحٌ مُوآبُ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ، وَهُوَ مُسْتَقِرٌّ عَلَى دُرْدِيِّهِ، وَلَمْ يُفْرَغْ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. لِذَلِكَ بَقِيَ طَعْمُهُ فِيهِ، وَرَائِحَتُهُ لَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ.

“Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِ مُصْغِينَ فَيُصْغُونَهُ، وَيُفَرِّغُونَ آنِيَتَهُ، وَيَكْسِرُونَ أَوْعِيَتَهُمْ.

Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.

١٣ 13 فَيَخْجَلُ مُوآبُ مِنْ كَمُوشَ، كَمَا خَجِلَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ مُتَّكَلِهِمْ.

Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.

١٤ 14 «كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَبَابِرَةٌ وَرِجَالُ قُوَّةٍ لِلْحَرْبِ؟

“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?

١٥ 15 أُهْلِكَتْ مُوآبُ وَصَعِدَتْ مُدُنُهَا، وَخِيَارُ مُنْتَخَبِيهَا نَزَلُوا لِلْقَتْلِ، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.

١٦ 16 قَرِيبٌ مَجِيءُ هَلَاكِ مُوآبَ، وَبَلِيَّتُهَا مُسْرِعَةٌ جِدًّا.

“The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.

١٧ 17 اُنْدُبُوهَا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوَالَيْهَا، وَكُلَّ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ ٱسْمَهَا قُولُوا: كَيْفَ ٱنْكَسَرَ قَضِيبُ ٱلْعِزِّ، عَصَا ٱلْجَلَالِ؟

All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’

١٨ 18 اِنْزِلِي مِنَ ٱلْمَجْدِ، ٱجْلِسِي فِي ٱلظَّمَاءِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ بِنْتَ دِيبُونَ، لِأَنَّ مُهْلِكَ مُوآبَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَيْكِ وَأَهْلَكَ حُصُونَكِ.

“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.

١٩ 19 قِفِي عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَتَطَلَّعِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ عَرُوعِيرَ. ٱسْأَلِي ٱلْهَارِبَ وَٱلنَّاجِيَةَ. قُولِي: مَاذَا حَدَثَ؟

Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’

٢٠ 20 قَدْ خَزِيَ مُوآبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ نُقِضَ. وَلْوِلُوا وَٱصْرُخُوا. أَخْبِرُوا فِي أَرْنُونَ أَنَّ مُوآبَ قَدْ أُهْلِكَ.

Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

٢١ 21 وَقَدْ جَاءَ ٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَى أَرْضِ ٱلسَّهْلِ، عَلَى حُولُونَ وَعَلَى يَهْصَةَ وَعَلَى مَيْفَعَةَ،

Judgement has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,

٢٢ 22 وَعَلَى دِيبُونَ وَعَلَى نَبُو وَعَلَى بَيْتِ دَبْلَتَايِمَ،

on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,

٢٣ 23 وَعَلَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ جَامُولَ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ مَعُونَ،

on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,

٢٤ 24 وَعَلَى قَرْيُوتَ وَعَلَى بُصْرَةَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ وَٱلْقَرِيبَةِ.

on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

٢٥ 25 عُضِبَ قَرْنُ مُوآبَ، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.

٢٦ 26 «أَسْكِرُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَتَمَرَّغَ مُوآبُ فِي قُيَائِهِ، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ ضُحْكَةً.

“Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.

٢٧ 27 أَفَمَا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ضُحْكَةً لَكَ؟ هَلْ وُجِدَ بَيْنَ ٱللُّصُوصِ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ كُلَّمَا كُنْتَ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ كُنْتَ تَنْغَضُ ٱلرَّأْسَ؟

For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found amongst thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

٢٨ 28 خَلُّوا ٱلْمُدُنَ، وَٱسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ يَاسُكَّانَ مُوآبَ، وَكُونُوا كَحَمَامَةٍ تُعَشِّشُ فِي جَوَانِبِ فَمِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ.

You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

٢٩ 29 قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِكِبْرِيَاءِ مُوآبَ. هُوَ مُتَكَبِّرٌ جِدًّا. بِعَظَمَتِهِ وَبِكِبْرِيَائِهِ وَجَلَالِهِ وَٱرْتِفَاعِ قَلْبِهِ.

“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا عَرَفْتُ سَخَطَهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ بَاطِلٌ. أَكَاذِيبُهُ فَعَلَتْ بَاطِلًا.

I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.

٣١ 31 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أُوَلْوِلُ عَلَى مُوآبَ، وَعَلَى مُوآبَ كُلِّهِ أَصْرُخُ. يُؤَنُّ عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ.

Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

٣٢ 32 أَبْكِي عَلَيْكِ بُكَاءَ يَعْزِيرَ، يَا جَفْنَةَ سَبْمَةَ. قَدْ عَبَرَتْ قُضْبَانُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَحْرِ يَعْزِيرَ. وَقَعَ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ عَلَى جَنَاكِ، وَعَلَى قِطَافِكِ.

With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.

٣٣ 33 وَنُزِعَ ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلطَّرَبُ مِنَ ٱلْبُسْتَانِ، وَمِنْ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ. وَقَدْ أُبْطِلَتِ ٱلْخَمْرُ مِنَ ٱلْمَعَاصِرِ. لَا يُدَاسُ بِهُتَافٍ. جَلَبَةٌ لَا هُتَافٌ.

Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.

٣٤ 34 قَدْ أَطْلَقُوا صَوْتَهُمْ مِنْ صُرَاخِ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى أَلْعَالَةَ إِلَى يَاهَصَ، مِنْ صُوغَرَ إِلَى حُورُونَايِمَ، كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلَاثِيَّةٍ، لِأَنَّ مِيَاهَ نِمْرِيمَ أَيْضًا تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً.

From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.

٣٥ 35 وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنْ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مَنْ يُصْعِدُ فِي مُرْتَفَعَةٍ، وَمَنْ يُبَخِّرُ لِآلِهَتِهِ.

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.

٣٦ 36 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يُصَوِّتُ قَلْبِي لِمُوآبَ كَنَايٍ، وَيُصَوِّتُ قَلْبِي لِرِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ كَنَايٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثَّرْوَةَ ٱلَّتِي ٱكْتَسَبُوهَا قَدْ بَادَتْ.

Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.

٣٧ 37 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَأْسٍ أَقْرَعُ، وَكُلَّ لِحْيَةٍ مَجْزُوزَةٌ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَيَادِي خُمُوشٌ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ مُسُوحٌ.

For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.

٣٨ 38 عَلَى كُلِّ سُطُوحِ مُوآبَ وَفِي شَوَارِعِهَا كُلِّهَا نَوْحٌ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ حَطَمْتُ مُوآبَ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا مَسَرَّةَ بِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.

٣٩ 39 يُوَلْوِلُونَ قَائِلِينَ: كَيْفَ نُقِضَتْ؟ كَيْفَ حَوَّلَتْ مُوآبُ قَفَاهَا بِخِزْيٍ؟ فَقَدْ صَارَتْ مُوآبُ ضُحْكَةً وَرُعْبًا لِكُلِّ مَنْ حَوَالَيْهَا.

“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”

٤٠ 40 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا هُوَ يَطِيرُ كَنَسْرٍ، وَيَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى مُوآبَ.

For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.

٤١ 41 قَدْ أُخِذَتْ قَرْيُوتُ، وَأُمْسِكَتِ ٱلْحَصِينَاتُ، وَسَيَكُونُ قَلْبُ جَبَابِرَةِ مُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ كَقَلْبِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ.

Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

٤٢ 42 وَيَهْلِكُ مُوآبُ عَنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَعْبًا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

٤٣ 43 خَوْفٌ وَحُفْرَةٌ وَفَخٌّ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَاكِنَ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.

٤٤ 44 ٱلَّذِي يَهْرُبُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْخَوْفِ يَسْقُطُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ يَعْلَقُ فِي ٱلْفَخِّ، لِأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهَا، أيْ عَلَى مُوآبَ، سَنَةَ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

“He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.

٤٥ 45 فِي ظِلِّ حَشْبُونَ وَقَفَ ٱلْهَارِبُونَ بِلَا قُوَّةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، وَلَهِيبٌ مِنْ وَسْطِ سِيحُونَ، فَأَكَلَتْ زَاوِيَةَ مُوآبَ، وَهَامَةَ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى.

“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

٤٦ 46 وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ! بَادَ شَعْبُ كَمُوشَ، لِأَنَّ بَنِيكَ قَدْ أُخِذُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ وَبَنَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ.

Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

٤٧ 47 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مُوآبَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». إِلَى هُنَا قَضَاءُ مُوآبَ.

“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
