إِرْمِيَا 7
| اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
| «قِفْ فِي بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَنَادِ هُنَاكَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ وَقُلْ: اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ لِتَسْجُدُوا لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢ 2 |
“Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.’”
| هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَصْلِحُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ فَأُسْكِنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. | ٣ 3 |
Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
| لَا تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ قَائِلِينَ: هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ، هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ، هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ! | ٤ 4 |
Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, are these.’
| لِأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ أَصْلَحْتُمْ إِصْلَاحًا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، إِنْ أَجْرَيْتُمْ عَدْلًا بَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَصَاحِبِهِ، | ٥ 5 |
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
| إِنْ لَمْ تَظْلِمُوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ وَٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ، وَلَمْ تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَلَمْ تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِأَذَائِكُمْ | ٦ 6 |
if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,
| فَإِنِّي أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لِآبَائِكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٧ 7 |
then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.
| «هَا إِنَّكُمْ مُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَنْفَعُ. | ٨ 8 |
Behold, you trust in lying words that can’t profit.
| أَتَسْرِقُونَ وَتَقْتُلُونَ وَتَزْنُونَ وَتَحْلِفُونَ كَذِبًا وَتُبَخِّرُونَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَتَسِيرُونَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا، | ٩ 9 |
Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
| ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ وَتَقِفُونَ أَمَامِي فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُونَ: قَدْ أُنْقِذْنَا. حَتَّى تَعْمَلُوا كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered,’ that you may do all these abominations?
| هَلْ صَارَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهِ مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ؟ هَأَنَذَا أَيْضًا قَدْ رَأَيْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it,” says Yahweh.
| لَكِنِ ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَوْضِعِي ٱلَّذِي فِي شِيلُوهَ ٱلَّذِي أَسْكَنْتُ فِيهِ ٱسْمِي أَوَّلًا، وَٱنْظُرُوا مَا صَنَعْتُ بِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٢ 12 |
“But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
| وَٱلْآنَ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَعْمَالَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُكَلِّمًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَدَعَوْتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، | ١٣ 13 |
Now, because you have done all these works,” says Yahweh, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer;
| أَصْنَعُ بِٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ مُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَبِالْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ وَآبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهُ، كَمَا صَنَعْتُ بِشِيلُوهَ. | ١٤ 14 |
therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
| وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي كَمَا طَرَحْتُ كُلَّ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، كُلَّ نَسْلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. | ١٥ 15 |
I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole offspring of Ephraim.
| وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تُصَلِّ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَلَا تَرْفَعْ لِأَجْلِهِمْ دُعَاءً وَلَا صَلَاةً، وَلَا تُلِحَّ عَلَيَّ لِأَنِّي لَا أَسْمَعُكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up a cry or prayer for them or make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
| «أَمَا تَرَى مَاذَا يَعْمَلُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
| ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ يَلْتَقِطُونَ حَطَبًا، وَٱلْآبَاءُ يُوقِدُونَ ٱلنَّارَ، وَٱلنِّسَاءُ يَعْجِنَّ ٱلْعَجِينَ، لِيَصْنَعْنَ كَعْكًا لِمَلِكَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلِسَكْبِ سَكَائِبَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِكَيْ يُغِيظُونِي. | ١٨ 18 |
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
| أَفَإِيَّايَ يُغِيظُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَلَيْسَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِأَجْلِ خِزْيِ وُجُوهِهِمْ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Do they provoke me to anger?” says Yahweh. “Don’t they provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي يَنْسَكِبَانِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَعَلَى شَجَرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَعَلَى ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَتَّقِدَانِ وَلَا يَنْطَفِئَانِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man, on animal, on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and will not be quenched.”
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ضُمُّوا مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِكُمْ وَكُلُوا لَحْمًا. | ٢١ 21 |
Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.
| لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُكَلِّمْ آبَاءَكُمْ وَلَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ جِهَةِ مُحْرَقَةٍ وَذَبِيحَةٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
For I didn’t speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices;
| بَلْ إِنَّمَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ قَائِلًا: ٱسْمَعُوا صَوْتِي فَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا، وَسِيرُوا فِي كُلِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ لِيُحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذْنَهُمْ، بَلْ سَارُوا فِي مَشُورَاتِ وَعِنَادِ قَلْبِهِمِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَأَعْطَوْا ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But they didn’t listen or turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
| فَمِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَ فِيهِ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، مُبَكِّرًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَمُرْسِلًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذُنَهُمْ، بَلْ صَلَّبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ. أَسَاءُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.
| فَتُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ لَكَ، وَتَدْعُوهُمْ وَلَا يُجِيبُونَكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
“You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.
| فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهَا وَلَمْ تَقْبَلْ تَأْدِيبًا. بَادَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَقُطِعَ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’
| «جُزِّي شَعْرَكِ وَٱطْرَحِيهِ، وَٱرْفَعِي عَلَى ٱلْهِضَابِ مَرْثَاةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَ وَرَذَلَ جِيلَ رِجْزِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
| لِأَنَّ بَنِي يَهُوذَا قَدْ عَمِلُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَضَعُوا مَكْرَهَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي لِيُنَجِّسُوهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
“For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight,” says Yahweh. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
| وَبَنَوْا مُرْتَفَعَاتِ تُوفَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ لِيُحْرِقُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ، ٱلَّذِي لَمْ آمُرْ بِهِ وَلَا صَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِي. | ٣١ 31 |
They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.
| «لِذَلِكَ هَا هِيَ أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يُسَمَّى بَعْدُ تُوفَةُ وَلَا وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، بَلْ وَادِي ٱلْقَتْلِ. وَيَدْفِنُونَ فِي تُوفَةَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ مَوْضِعٌ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Therefore behold, the days come”, says Yahweh, “that it will no more be called ‘Topheth’ or ‘The valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’; for they will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
| وَتَصِيرُ جُثَثُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ أُكْلًا لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا مُزْعِجَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
The dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth. No one will frighten them away.
| وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ صَوْتَ ٱلطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْفَرَحِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْعَرُوسِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا. | ٣٤ 34 |
Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a waste.”
