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,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, 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 |
They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshipped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface 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 |
Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Armies.
| «وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ وَلَا يَقُومُونَ، أَوْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ وَلَا يَرْجِعُ؟ | ٤ 4 |
“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
| فَلِمَاذَا ٱرْتَدَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱرْتِدَادًا دَائِمًا؟ تَمَسَّكُوا بِٱلْمَكْرِ. أَبَوْا أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا. | ٥ 5 |
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to 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 listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
| بَلِ ٱللَّقْلَقُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يَعْرِفُ مِيعَادَهُ، وَٱلْيَمَامَةُ وَٱلسُّنُوْنَةُ ٱلْمُزَقْزِقَةُ حَفِظَتَا وَقْتَ مَجِيئِهِمَا. أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ قَضَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ! | ٧ 7 |
Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know the LORD’s law.
| كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ: نَحْنُ حُكَمَاءُ وَشَرِيعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَنَا؟ حَقًّا إِنَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ حَوَّلَهَا قَلَمُ ٱلْكَتَبَةِ ٱلْكَاذِبُ. | ٨ 8 |
“‘How do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
| خَزِيَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ. ٱرْتَاعُوا وَأُخِذُوا. هَا قَدْ رَفَضُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَيَّةُ حِكْمَةٍ لَهُمْ؟ | ٩ 9 |
The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of 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 I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
| وَيَشْفُونَ كَسْرَ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي عَلَى عَثَمٍ، قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ، سَلَامٌ. وَلَا سَلَامَ. | ١١ 11 |
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? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall amongst those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the LORD.
| «نَزْعًا أَنْزِعُهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. لَا عِنَبَ فِي ٱلْجَفْنَةِ، وَلَا تِينَ فِي ٱلتِّينَةِ، وَٱلْوَرَقُ ذَبُلَ، وَأُعْطِيهِمْ مَا يَزُولُ عَنْهُمْ». | ١٣ 13 |
“‘I will utterly consume them, says the LORD. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will 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! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
| اِنْتَظَرْنَا ٱلسَّلَامَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خَيْرٌ، وَزَمَانَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ وَإِذَا رُعْبٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
| 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 is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
| «لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا مُرْسِلٌ عَلَيْكُمْ حَيَّاتٍ، أَفَاعِيَ لَا تُرْقَى، فَتَلْدَغُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ 17 |
“For, behold, I will send serpents, adders amongst you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
| مَنْ مُفَرِّجٌ عَنِّي ٱلْحُزْنَ؟ قَلْبِي فِيَّ سَقِيمٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within 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 from a land that is very far off: “Isn’t the LORD in Zion? Isn’t her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
| «مَضَى ٱلْحَصَادُ، ٱنْتَهَى ٱلصَّيْفُ، وَنَحْنُ لَمْ نَخْلُصْ!» | ٢٠ 20 |
“The harvest is past. The summer has 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, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of 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 isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
