إِرْمِيَا 51
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُوقِظُ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَعَلَى ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ رِيحًا مُهْلِكَةً. | ١ 1 |
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will awaken against Babylon, and against those that dwell in the midst of my opponents, a destroying wind;
| وَأُرْسِلُ إِلَى بَابِلَ مُذَرِّينَ فَيُذَرُّونَهَا وَيُفَرِّغُونَ أَرْضَهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ. | ٢ 2 |
And I will send out unto Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall empty out her land; for they shall be against her round about on the day of trouble.
| عَلَى ٱلنَّازِعِ فِي قَوْسِهِ، فَلْيَنْزِعِ ٱلنَّازِعُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمُفْتَخِرِ بِدِرْعِهِ، فَلَا تُشْفِقُوا عَلَى مُنْتَخَبِيهَا، بَلْ حَرِّمُوا كُلَّ جُنْدِهَا. | ٣ 3 |
Let the archer come against any one that bendeth his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his armor: and spare ye not her young men: destroy ye utterly all her host.
| فَتَسْقُطَ ٱلْقَتْلَى فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَٱلْمَطْعُونُونَ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا. | ٤ 4 |
And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are pierced through, in her streets.
| لِأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا لَيْسَا بِمَقْطُوعَيْنِ عَنْ إِلَهِهِمَا، عَنْ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُهُمَا مَلْآنَةً إِثْمًا عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ 5 |
For not widowed are Israel and Judah of their God, of the Lord of hosts; for the land of those was filled with guiltiness against the Holy One of Israel.
| ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسْطِ بَابِلَ، وَٱنْجُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِنَفْسِهِ. لَا تَهْلِكُوا بِذَنْبِهَا، لِأَنَّ هَذَا زَمَانُ ٱنْتِقَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، هُوَ يُؤَدِّي لَهَا جَزَاءَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
Flee ye out of the midst of Babylon, and save ye every man his life: perish not for her iniquity; for this is a time of vengeance unto the Lord; a recompense is he paying out unto her.
| بَابِلُ كَأْسُ ذَهَبٍ بِيَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُسْكِرُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِنْ خَمْرِهَا شَرِبَتِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ جُنَّتِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ. | ٧ 7 |
A golden cup hath Babylon been in the hand of the Lord, that made drunken all the earth: of her wine have nations drunk; therefore are the nations rendered mad.
| سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ بَغْتَةً وَتَحَطَّمَتْ. وَلْوِلُوا عَلَيْهَا. خُذُوا بَلَسَانًا لِجُرْحِهَا لَعَلَّهَا تُشْفَى! | ٨ 8 |
Suddenly is Babylon fallen and broken: wail ye for her; fetch balm for her wound, perhaps she may be healed.
| دَاوَيْنَا بَابِلَ فَلَمْ تُشْفَ. دَعُوهَا، وَلْنَذْهَبْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، لِأَنَّ قَضَاءَهَا وَصَلَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱرْتَفَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّحَابِ. | ٩ 9 |
“We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one unto his own country; for her punishment reacheth unto the heavens, and it is lifted up even to the skies.”
| قَدْ أَخْرَجَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِرَّنَا. هَلُمَّ فَنَقُصُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ١٠ 10 |
The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us relate in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
| سُنُّوا ٱلسِّهَامَ. أَعِدُّوا ٱلْأَتْرَاسَ. قَدْ أَيْقَظَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ مُلُوكِ مَادِي، لِأَنَّ قَصْدَهُ عَلَى بَابِلَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَهَا. لِأَنَّهُ نَقْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، نَقْمَةُ هَيْكَلِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Make bright the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord hath awakened the spirit of the kings of Media; for against Babylon is his intention, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for his temple.
| عَلَى أَسْوَارِ بَابِلَ ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ. شَدِّدُوا ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ. أَقِيمُوا ٱلْحُرَّاسَ. أَعِدُّوا ٱلْكَمِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ قَصَدَ وَأَيْضًا فَعَلَ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى سُكَّانِ بَابِلَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Against the walls of Babylon lift up the standard, strengthen the watch, set up the watchmen, make ready the ambushes; for the Lord hath both intended and done what he had spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon.
| أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، ٱلْوَافِرَةُ ٱلْخَزَائِنِ، قَدْ أَتَتْ آخِرَتُكِ، كَيْلُ ٱغْتِصَابِكِ. | ١٣ 13 |
O thou that dwellest upon many waters, great in treasures, thy end is come, the full measure of thy selfish robbery.
| قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ بِنَفْسِهِ: إِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّكِ أُنَاسًا كَٱلْغَوْغَاءِ، فَيَرْفَعُونَ عَلَيْكِ جَلَبَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
Sworn hath the Lord of hosts by himself, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with locusts: and they shall lift up the battle-cry against thee.
| «صَانِعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، وَمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وبِفَهْمِهِ مَدَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
| إِذَا أَعْطَى قَوْلًا تَكُونُ كَثْرَةُ مِيَاهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. صَنَعَ بُرُوقًا لِلْمَطَرِ، وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
At the sound when he giveth a multitude of waters in the heavens, and causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; when he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures:
| بَلُدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ. خَزِيَ كُلُّ صَائِغٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ لِأَنَّ مَسْبُوكَهُ كَذِبٌ وَلَا رُوحٌ فِيهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then standeth every man as brutish without knowledge; ashamed is every goldsmith because of the graven image; for falsehood is his molten work, and there is no breath therein.
| هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ، صَنْعَةُ ٱلْأَضَالِيلِ. فِي وَقْتِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ. | ١٨ 18 |
They are vanity, the work of deception: in the time of their punishment shall they vanish.
| لَيْسَ كَهَذِهِ نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُ مُصَوِّرُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَقَضِيبُ مِيرَاثِهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.
| أَنْتَ لِي فَأْسٌ وَأَدَوَاتُ حَرْبٍ، فَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ، وَأُهْلِكُ بِكَ ٱلْمَمَالِكَ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Thou art a hammer unto me, weapons of war; and I strike down with thee nations, and I destroy with thee kingdoms;
| وَأُكَسِّرُ بِكَ ٱلْفَرَسَ وَرَاكِبَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ وَرَاكِبَهَا، | ٢١ 21 |
And I strike down with thee the horse and his rider; and I strike down with thee the chariot and its rider;
| وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلشَّيْخَ وَٱلْفَتَى، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْغُلَامَ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءَ، | ٢٢ 22 |
And I strike down with thee man and woman; and I strike down with thee the aged and the lad; and I strike down with thee the young man and the virgin:
| وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّاعِيَ وَقَطِيعَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْفَلَّاحَ وَفَدَّانَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلْحُكَّامَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And I strike down with thee the shepherd and his flock; and I strike down with thee the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and I strike down with thee governors and rulers.
| وَأُكَافِئُ بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ سُكَّانِ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِّهِمِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلُوهُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، أَمَامَ عُيُونِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But [now] will I repay unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes, saith the Lord.
| هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْمُهْلِكُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ وَأُدَحْرِجُكَ عَنِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ جَبَلًا مُحْرَقًا، | ٢٥ 25 |
Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will roll thee down from the rocks, and will render thee a burnt mountain.
| فَلَا يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْكَ حَجَرًا لِزَاوِيَةٍ، وَلَا حَجَرًا لِأُسُسٍ، بَلْ تَكُونُ خَرَابًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And they shall not take from thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but everlasting ruins shalt thou be, saith the Lord.
| «اِرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ. قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأُمَمَ. نَادُوا عَلَيْهَا مَمَالِكَ أَرَارَاطَ وَمِنِّي وَأَشْكَنَازَ. أَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا قَائِدًا. أَصْعِدُوا ٱلْخَيْلَ كَغَوْغَاءَ مُقْشَعِرَّةٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Lift ye up a standard in the land, blow ye the cornet among the nations, make ready against her nations, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint against her a commander; cause the horses to come up like the hairy locusts.
| قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا ٱلشُّعُوبَ، مُلُوكَ مَادِي، وُلَاتَهَا وَكُلَّ حُكَّامِهَا وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ سُلْطَانِهَا، | ٢٨ 28 |
Make ready against her the nations with the kings of Media, its governors, and all its rulers, and all the land of their dominion.
| فَتَرْتَجِفَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَتَوَجَّعَ، لِأَنَّ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِلَ، لِيَجْعَلَ أَرْضَ بَابِلَ خَرَابًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And the earth quaketh and trembleth; for every one of the purposes of the Lord is fulfilled against Babylon, to change the land of Babylon into a desolate country without an inhabitant.
| كَفَّ جَبَابِرَةُ بَابِلَ عَنِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ. نَضَبَتْ شَجَاعَتُهُمْ. صَارُوا نِسَاءً. حَرَقُوا مَسَاكِنَهَا. تَحَطَّمَتْ عَوَارِضُهَا. | ٣٠ 30 |
The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they sit still in [their] strongholds; their might is vanished; they are become as women: they have burnt her dwelling-places; her bars are broken.
| يَرْكُضُ عَدَّاءٌ لِلِقَاءِ عَدَّاءٍ، وَمُخْبِرٌ لِلِقَاءِ مُخْبِرٍ، لِيُخْبِرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ بِأَنَّ مَدِينَتَهُ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ عَنْ أقْصَى، | ٣١ 31 |
One runner shall run to meet another runner, and one messenger to meet another messenger, to tell unto the king of Babylon that his city is captured at all ends,
| وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَعَابِرَ قَدْ أُمْسِكَتْ، وَٱلْقَصَبَ أَحْرَقُوهُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَرِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And that the passages have been seized, and that they have burnt the reeds with fire, and that the men of war are affrighted.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ بِنْتَ بَابِلَ كَبَيْدَرٍ وَقْتَ دَوْسِهِ. بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا وَقْتُ ٱلْحَصَادِ». | ٣٣ 33 |
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time they thresh therein; but yet a little while more, when the time of harvest shall come for her.
| «أَكَلَنِي أَفْنَانِي نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ. جَعَلَنِي إِنَاءً فَارِغًا. ٱبْتَلَعَنِي كَتِنِّينٍ، وَمَلَأَ جَوْفَهُ مِنْ نِعَمِي. طَوَّحَنِي. | ٣٤ 34 |
“Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon devoured me, he crushed me, he set me down as an empty vessel, he swallowed me up like a huge serpent, he filled his belly with my delicacies: he drove me out.
| ظُلْمِي وَلَحْمِي عَلَى بَابِلَ» تَقُولُ سَاكِنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ. «وَدَمِي عَلَى سُكَّانِ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ» تَقُولُ أُورُشَلِيمُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” will the inhabitress of Zion say; and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” will Jerusalem say.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أُخَاصِمُ خُصُومَتَكِ، وَأَنْتَقِمُ نَقْمَتَكِ، وَأُنَشِّفُ بَحْرَهَا، وَأُجَفِّفُ يَنْبُوعَهَا. | ٣٦ 36 |
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will contend in thy cause, and execute vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and cause her springs to fail.
| وَتَكُونُ بَابِلُ كُوَمًا، وَمَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَدَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
And Babylon shall become ruinous heaps, a dwelling-place for monsters, an astonishment, and a derision, without an inhabitant.
| يُزَمْجِرُونَ مَعًا كَأَشْبَالٍ. يَزْأَرُونَ كَجِرَاءِ أُسُودٍ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Together like lions shall they roar: they shall yell like the lions' whelps.
| عِنْدَ حَرَارَتِهِمْ أُعِدُّ لَهُمْ شَرَابًا وَأُسْكِرُهُمْ، لِكَيْ يَفْرَحُوا وَيَنَامُوا نَوْمًا أَبَدِيًّا، وَلَا يَسْتَيْقِظُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
When they are heated will I prepare their drinking-feasts, and I will make them drunken, in order that they may be joyful, and [then] sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the Lord.
| أُنَزِّلُهُمْ كَخِرَافٍ لِلذَّبْحِ وَكَكِبَاشٍ مَعَ أَعْتِدَةٍ. | ٤٠ 40 |
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like wethers with he-goats.
| «كَيْفَ أُخِذَتْ شِيشَكُ، وَأُمْسِكَتْ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ كَيْفَ صَارَتْ بَابِلُ دَهَشًا فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟ | ٤١ 41 |
How is Sheshach captured! and how is conquered the praise of the whole earth! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
| طَلَعَ ٱلْبَحْرُ عَلَى بَابِلَ، فَتَغَطَّتْ بِكَثْرَةِ أَمْوَاجِهِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
The sea is come up over Babylon: with the multitude of its waves is she covered.
| صَارَتْ مُدُنُهَا خَرَابًا، أَرْضًا نَاشِفَةً وَقَفْرًا، أَرْضًا لَا يَسْكُنُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَلَا يَعْبُرُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Her cities are become desolate places, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein not any man shall dwell, and through which no son of man shall pass along.
| وَأُعَاقِبُ بِيلَ فِي بَابِلَ، وَأُخْرِجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ مَا ٱبْتَلَعَهُ، فَلَا تَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ بَعْدُ، وَيَسْقُطُ سُورُ بَابِلَ أَيْضًا. | ٤٤ 44 |
And I will inflict punishment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth what he hath swallowed up out of his mouth; and nations shall not assemble together like a stream unto him any more; yea, the wall of Babylon also is fallen.
| اُخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا يَا شَعْبِي، وَلْيُنَجِّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and save ye every man his life from the fierceness of the anger of the Lord.
| وَلَا يَضْعُفْ قَلْبُكُمْ فَتَخَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَبَرِ ٱلَّذِي سُمِعَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي خَبَرٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةِ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُخْرَى، خَبَرٌ وَظُلْمٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى مُتَسَلِّطٍ. | ٤٦ 46 |
And so that your heart may not faint, and ye fear at the report that is heard in the land: when the report cometh in one year, and after that in another year cometh another report, and when violence [be done] in the land, [by] ruler against ruler.
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي وَأُعَاقِبُ مَنْحُوتَاتِ بَابِلَ، فَتَخْزَى كُلُّ أَرْضِهَا وَتَسْقُطُ كُلُّ قَتْلَاهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا. | ٤٧ 47 |
Therefore, behold, days are coming, when I will inflict punishment on the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fail in the midst of her.
| فَتَهْتِفُ عَلَى بَابِلَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٤٨ 48 |
And then shall the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, sing because of Babylon; for from the north shall come unto her the destroyers, saith the Lord.
| كَمَا أَسْقَطَتْ بَابِلُ قَتْلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَسْقُطُ أَيْضًا قَتْلَى بَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
Also Babylon is destined to fall, O ye slain ones of Israel, also at Babylon fall the slain of all the land.
| أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱذْهَبُوا. لَا تَقِفُوا. ٱذْكُرُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَلْتَخْطُرْ أُورُشَلِيمُ بِبَالِكُمْ. | ٥٠ 50 |
[But] ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember afar off the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
| قَدْ خَزِينَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا عَارًا. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وُجُوهَنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلْغُرَبَاءَ قَدْ دَخَلُوا مَقَادِسَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٥١ 51 |
“We had been made ashamed, because we had heard reproach: confusion had covered our faces; because strangers were come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.”
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُعَاقِبُ مَنْحُوتَاتِهَا، وَيَتَنَهَّدُ ٱلْجَرْحَى فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِهَا. | ٥٢ 52 |
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will inflict punishment on her graven images: and through all her land shall groan the deadly wounded.
| فَلَوْ صَعِدَتْ بَابِلُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلَوْ حَصَّنَتْ عَلْيَاءَ عِزِّهَا، فَمِنْ عِنْدِي يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength; yet from me should destroyers come unto her, saith the Lord.
| «صَوْتُ صُرَاخٍ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَٱنْحِطَامٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، | ٥٤ 54 |
A sound of a painful cry cometh from Babylon, and of a great breach from the land of the Chaldeans;
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُخْرِبٌ بَابِلَ وَقَدْ أَبَادَ مِنْهَا ٱلصَّوْتَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ، وَقَدْ عَجَّتْ أَمْوَاجُهُمْ كَمِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَأُطْلِقَ ضَجِيجُ صَوْتِهِمْ. | ٥٥ 55 |
Because the Lord wasteth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the loud noise; but their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice is sent forth;
| لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْهَا، عَلَى بَابِلَ، ٱلْمُخْرِبُ، وَأُخِذَ جَبَابِرَتُهَا، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ قِسِيُّهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهُ مُجَازَاةٍ يُكَافِئُ مُكَافَأَةً. | ٥٦ 56 |
Because the destroyer is come over her, over Babylon, and her mighty men are caught, every one of their bows is broken; for the God of recompenses, the Lord, will surely requite.
| وَأُسْكِرُ رُؤَسَاءَهَا وَحُكَمَاءَهَا وَوُلَاتَهَا وَحُكَّامَهَا وَأَبْطَالَهَا فَيَنَامُونَ نَوْمًا أَبَدِيًّا، وَلَا يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٥٧ 57 |
And I will make drunken her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the King, The Lord of hosts is his name.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ أَسْوَارَ بَابِلَ ٱلْعَرِيضَةَ تُدَمَّرُ تَدْمِيرًا، وَأَبْوَابُهَا ٱلشَّامِخَةَ تُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَتَتْعَبُ ٱلشُّعُوبُ لِلْبَاطِلِ، وَٱلْقَبَائِلُ لِلنَّارِ حَتَّى تَعْيَا». | ٥٨ 58 |
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Every one of the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; so that nations shall have labored in vain, and the people for the fire, and so shall they have wearied themselves.
| اَلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَى بِهِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ سَرَايَا بْنَ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَّا، عِنْدَ ذَهَابِهِ مَعَ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، وَكَانَ سَرَايَا رَئِيسَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، | ٥٩ 59 |
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Serayah the son of Neriyah, the son of Machseyah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah unto Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Serayah was chief chamberlain.
| فَكَتَبَ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلْآتِي عَلَى بَابِلَ فِي سِفْرٍ وَاحِدٍ، كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ عَلَى بَابِلَ، | ٦٠ 60 |
And Jeremiah wrote down all the evil that should come upon Babylon in one book, namely, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
| وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِسَرَايَا: «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَنَظَرْتَ وَقَرَأْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، | ٦١ 61 |
And Jeremiah said to Serayah, As thou comest to Babylon, see to it, that thou read all these words;
| فَقُلْ: أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ لِتَقْرِضَهُ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ فِيهِ سَاكِنٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، بَلْ يَكُونُ خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً. | ٦٢ 62 |
And thou shalt say, O Lord, thou thyself hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, so that there shall not be in it an inhabitant, either man or beast; but that it shall become a desolate place for ever.
| وَيَكُونُ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ هَذَا ٱلسِّفْرِ أَنَّكَ تَرْبُطُ بِهِ حَجَرًا وَتَطْرَحُهُ إِلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ | ٦٣ 63 |
And it shall be, when thou hast finished reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and throw it into the midst of the Euphrates;
| وَتَقُولُ: هَكَذَا تَغْرَقُ بَابِلُ وَلَا تَقُومُ، مِنَ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا جَالِبُهُ عَلَيْهَا وَيَعْيَوْنَ». إِلَى هُنَا كَلَامُ إِرْمِيَا. | ٦٤ 64 |
And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again from the evil that I will bring upon her: and her people shall be wearied. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
