إِرْمِيَا 8
| «فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، يُخْرِجُونَ عِظَامَ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَعِظَامَ رُؤَسَائِهِ وَعِظَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَعِظَامَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَعِظَامَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ، | ١ 1 |
At that time, saith Yhwh, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
| وَيَبْسُطُونَهَا لِلشَّمْسِ وَلِلْقَمَرِ وَلِكُلِّ جُنُودِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَحَبُّوهَا وَٱلَّتِي عَبَدُوهَا وَٱلَّتِي سَارُوا وَرَاءَهَا وَٱلَّتِي ٱسْتَشَارُوهَا وَالَّتِي سَجَدُوا لَهَا. لَا تُجْمَعُ وَلَا تُدْفَنُ، بَلْ تَكُونُ دِمْنَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢ 2 |
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
| وَيُخْتَارُ ٱلْمَوْتُ عَلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ ٱلْبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَشِيرَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٣ 3 |
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith Yhwh of Armies.
| «وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ وَلَا يَقُومُونَ، أَوْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ وَلَا يَرْجِعُ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
| فَلِمَاذَا ٱرْتَدَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱرْتِدَادًا دَائِمًا؟ تَمَسَّكُوا بِٱلْمَكْرِ. أَبَوْا أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا. | ٥ 5 |
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
| صَغَيْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ. بِغَيْرِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ. لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَتُوبُ عَنْ شَرِّهِ قَائِلًا: مَاذَا عَمِلْتُ؟ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَسْرَاهُ كَفَرَسٍ ثَائِرٍ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ. | ٦ 6 |
I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
| بَلِ ٱللَّقْلَقُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يَعْرِفُ مِيعَادَهُ، وَٱلْيَمَامَةُ وَٱلسُّنُوْنَةُ ٱلْمُزَقْزِقَةُ حَفِظَتَا وَقْتَ مَجِيئِهِمَا. أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ قَضَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ! | ٧ 7 |
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of Yhwh.
| كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ: نَحْنُ حُكَمَاءُ وَشَرِيعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَنَا؟ حَقًّا إِنَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ حَوَّلَهَا قَلَمُ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ ٱلْكَاذِبُ. | ٨ 8 |
How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Yhwh is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
| خَزِيَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ. ٱرْتَاعُوا وَأُخِذُوا. هَا قَدْ رَفَضُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَيَّةُ حِكْمَةٍ لَهُمْ؟ | ٩ 9 |
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Yhwh; and what wisdom is in them?
| لِذَلِكَ أُعْطِي نِسَاءَهُمْ لِآخَرِينَ، وَحُقُولَهُمْ لِمَالِكِينَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مُولَعٌ بِٱلرِّبْحِ. مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
| وَيَشْفُونَ كَسْرَ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي عَلَى عَثَمٍ، قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ، سَلَامٌ. وَلَا سَلَامَ. | ١١ 11 |
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
| هَلْ خَزُوا لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا رِجْسًا؟ بَلْ لَمْ يَخْزَوْا خِزْيًا، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلْخَجَلَ! لِذَلِكَ يَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّاقِطِينَ. فِي وَقْتِ مُعَاقَبَتِهِمْ يَعْثُرُونَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith Yhwh.
| «نَزْعًا أَنْزِعُهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. لَا عِنَبَ فِي ٱلْجَفْنَةِ، وَلَا تِينَ فِي ٱلتِّينَةِ، وَٱلْوَرَقُ ذَبُلَ، وَأُعْطِيهِمْ مَا يَزُولُ عَنْهُمْ». | ١٣ 13 |
I will surely consume them, saith Yhwh: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
| لِمَاذَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ؟ اِجْتَمِعُوا فَلْنَدْخُلْ إِلَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ وَنَصْمُتْ هُنَاكَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا قَدْ أَصْمَتَنَا وَأَسْقَانَا مَاءَ ٱلْعَلْقَمِ، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for Yhwh our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yhwh.
| اِنْتَظَرْنَا ٱلسَّلَامَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خَيْرٌ، وَزَمَانَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ وَإِذَا رُعْبٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
| مِنْ دَانَ سُمِعَتْ حَمْحَمَةُ خَيْلِهِ. عِنْدَ صَوْتِ صَهِيلِ جِيَادِهِ ٱرْتَجَفَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَأَتَوْا وَأَكَلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا، ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
| «لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا مُرْسِلٌ عَلَيْكُمْ حَيَّاتٍ، أَفَاعِيَ لَا تُرْقَى، فَتَلْدَغُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ 17 |
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith Yhwh.
| مَنْ مُفَرِّجٌ عَنِّي ٱلْحُزْنَ؟ قَلْبِي فِيَّ سَقِيمٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
| هُوَذَا صَوْتُ ٱسْتِغَاثَةِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ: «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، أَوْ مَلِكَهَا لَيْسَ فِيهَا؟» «لِمَاذَا أَغَاظُونِي بِمَنْحُوتَاتِهِمْ، بِأَبَاطِيلَ غَرِيبَةٍ؟» | ١٩ 19 |
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not Yhwh in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
| «مَضَى ٱلْحَصَادُ، ٱنْتَهَى ٱلصَّيْفُ، وَنَحْنُ لَمْ نَخْلُصْ!» | ٢٠ 20 |
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي ٱنْسَحَقْتُ. حَزِنْتُ. أَخَذَتْنِي دَهْشَةٌ. | ٢١ 21 |
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
| أَلَيْسَ بَلَسَانٌ فِي جِلْعَادَ، أَمْ لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ طَبِيبٌ؟ فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُعْصَبْ بِنْتُ شَعْبِي؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
