إِرْمِيَا 5
| «طُوفُوا فِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَٱنْظُرُوا، وَٱعْرِفُوا وَفَتِّشُوا فِي سَاحَاتِهَا، هَلْ تَجِدُونَ إِنْسَانًا أَوْ يُوجَدُ عَامِلٌ بِٱلْعَدْلِ طَالِبُ ٱلْحَقِّ، فَأَصْفَحَ عَنْهَا؟ | ١ 1 |
Run you to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a man, if there be any that executes judgment, that seeks the truth; and I will pardon it.
| وَإِنْ قَالُوا: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَإِنَّهُمْ يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ!» | ٢ 2 |
And though they say, The LORD lives; surely they swear falsely.
| يَارَبُّ، أَلَيْسَتْ عَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ؟ ضَرَبْتَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَتَوَجَّعُوا. أَفْنَيْتَهُمْ وَأَبَوْا قُبُولَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبِ. صَلَّبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرِ. أَبَوْا ٱلرُّجُوعَ. | ٣ 3 |
O LORD, are not your eyes on the truth? you have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا هُمْ مَسَاكِينُ. قَدْ جَهِلُوا لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، قَضَاءَ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
| أَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ وَأُكَلِّمُهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، قَضَاءَ إِلَهِهِمْ. أَمَّا هُمْ فَقَدْ كَسَرُوا ٱلنِّيرَ جَمِيعًا وَقَطَعُوا ٱلرُّبُطَ. | ٥ 5 |
I will get me to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُهُمُ ٱلْأَسَدُ مِنَ ٱلْوَعْرِ. ذِئْبُ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يُهْلِكُهُمْ. يَكْمُنُ ٱلنَّمِرُ حَوْلَ مُدُنِهِمْ. كُلُّ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا يُفْتَرَسُ لِأَنَّ ذُنُوبَهُمْ كَثُرَتْ. تَعَاظَمَتْ مَعَاصِيهِمْ! | ٦ 6 |
Why a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goes out there shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
| «كَيْفَ أَصْفَحُ لَكِ عَنْ هَذِهِ؟ بَنُوكِ تَرَكُونِي وَحَلَفُوا بِمَا لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً. وَلَمَّا أَشْبَعْتُهُمْ زَنَوْا، وَفِي بَيْتِ زَانِيَةٍ تَزَاحَمُوا. | ٧ 7 |
How shall I pardon you for this? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
| صَارُوا حُصُنًا مَعْلُوفَةً سَائِبَةً. صَهَلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةِ صَاحِبِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
| أَمَا أُعَاقِبُ عَلَى هَذَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَوَ مَا تَنْتَقِمُ نَفْسِي مِنْ أُمَّةٍ كَهَذِهِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Shall I not visit for these things? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
| «اِصْعَدُوا عَلَى أَسْوَارِهَا وَٱخْرِبُوا وَلَكِنْ لَا تُفْنُوهَا. اِنْزِعُوا أَفْنَانَهَا لِأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
Go you up on her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s.
| لِأَنَّهُ خِيَانَةً خَانَنِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْتُ يَهُوذَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says the LORD.
| جَحَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالُوا: لَيْسَ هُوَ، وَلَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا شَرٌّ، وَلَا نَرَى سَيْفًا وَلَا جُوعًا، | ١٢ 12 |
They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
| وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ يَصِيرُونَ رِيحًا، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ لَيْسَتْ فِيهِمْ. هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ بِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، هَأَنَذَا جَاعِلٌ كَلَامِي فِي فَمِكَ نَارًا، وَهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ حَطَبًا، فَتَأْكُلُهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
Why thus says the LORD God of hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
| هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّةً مِنْ بُعْدٍ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً. أُمَّةً مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ. أُمَّةً لَا تَعْرِفُ لِسَانَهَا وَلَا تَفْهَمُ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
See, I will bring a nation on you from far, O house of Israel, says the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you know not, neither understand what they say.
| جُعْبَتُهُمْ كَقَبْرٍ مَفْتُوحٍ. كُلُّهُمْ جَبَابِرَةٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
Their quiver is as an open sepulcher, they are all mighty men.
| فَيَأْكُلُونَ حَصَادَكَ وَخُبْزَكَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُهُ بَنُوكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ. يَأْكُلُونَ غَنَمَكَ وَبَقَرَكَ. يَأْكُلُونَ جَفْنَتَكَ وَتِينَكَ. يُهْلِكُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ مُدُنَكَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ مُتَّكِلٌ عَلَيْهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
And they shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat: they shall eat up your flocks and your herds: they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees: they shall impoverish your fenced cities, wherein you trusted, with the sword.
| وَأَيْضًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا أُفْنِيكُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
Nevertheless in those days, says the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
| «وَيَكُونُ حِينَ تَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا بِنَا كُلَّ هَذِهِ؟ تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، هَكَذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءَ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَكُمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Why does the LORD our God all these things to us? then shall you answer them, Like as you have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
| أَخْبِرُوا بِهَذَا فِي بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَسْمِعُوا بِهِ فِي يَهُوذَا قَائِلِينَ: | ٢٠ 20 |
Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
| اِسْمَعْ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ وَٱلْعَدِيمُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ وَلَا يُبْصِرُونَ. لَهُمْ آذَانٌ وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
| أَإِيَّايَ لَا تَخْشَوْنَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَوَلَا تَرْتَعِدُونَ مِنْ وَجْهِي؟ أَنَا ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُ ٱلرَّمْلَ تُخُومًا لِلْبَحْرِ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لَا يَتَعَدَّاهَا، فَتَتَلَاطَمُ وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُ، وَتَعِجُّ أَمْوَاجُهُ وَلَا تَتَجَاوَزُهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Fear you not me? says the LORD: will you not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
| وَصَارَ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَلْبٌ عَاصٍ وَمُتَمَرِّدٌ. عَصَوْا وَمَضَوْا. | ٢٣ 23 |
But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
| وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ: لِنَخَفِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِي ٱلْمَطَرَ ٱلْمُبَكِّرَ وَٱلْمُتَأَخِّرَ فِي وَقْتِهِ. يَحْفَظُ لَنَا أَسَابِيعَ ٱلْحَصَادِ ٱلْمَفْرُوضَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
| «آثَامُكُمْ عَكَسَتْ هَذِهِ، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ مَنَعَتِ ٱلْخَيْرَ عَنْكُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
| لِأَنَّهُ وُجِدَ فِي شَعْبِي أَشْرَارٌ يَرْصُدُونَ كَمُنْحَنٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَانِصِينَ، يَنْصِبُونَ أَشْرَاكًا يُمْسِكُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
| مِثْلَ قَفَصٍ مَلْآنٍ طُيُورًا هَكَذَا بُيُوتُهُمْ مَلْآنَةٌ مَكْرًا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ عَظُمُوا وَٱسْتَغْنَوْا. | ٢٧ 27 |
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
| سَمِنُوا. لَمَعُوا. أَيْضًا تَجَاوَزُوا فِي أُمُورِ ٱلشَّرِّ. لَمْ يَقْضُوا فِي ٱلدَّعْوَى، دَعْوَى ٱلْيَتِيمِ. وَقَدْ نَجَحُوا. وَبِحَقِّ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ لَمْ يَقْضُوا. | ٢٨ 28 |
They are waxen fat, they shine: yes, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
| أَفَلِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ لَا أُعَاقِبُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَوَلَا تَنْتَقِمُ نَفْسِي مِنْ أُمَّةٍ كَهَذِهِ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Shall I not visit for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
| «صَارَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ دَهَشٌ وَقَشْعَرِيرَةٌ. | ٣٠ 30 |
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
| اَلْأَنْبِيَاءُ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَشَعْبِي هَكَذَا أَحَبَّ. وَمَاذَا تَعْمَلُونَ فِي آخِرَتِهَا؟ | ٣١ 31 |
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?
