مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 3
| أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي رأَى مَذَلَّةً بِقَضِيبِ سَخَطِهِ. | ١ 1 |
I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.
| قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَا نُورَ. | ٢ 2 |
He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness instead of light.
| حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٣ 3 |
Indeed, He keeps turning His hand against me all day long.
| أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. كَسَّرَ عِظَامِي. | ٤ 4 |
He has worn away my flesh and skin; He has shattered my bones.
| بَنَى عَلَيَّ وَأَحَاطَنِي بِعَلْقَمٍ وَمَشَقَّةٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
| أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. | ٦ 6 |
He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
| سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. | ٧ 7 |
He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
| أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.
| سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. | ٩ 9 |
He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
| هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. | ١٠ 10 |
He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.
| مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. | ١١ 11 |
He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.
| مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي كَغَرَضٍ لِلسَّهْمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
| أَدْخَلَ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ نِبَالَ جُعْبَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
He pierced my kidneys with His arrows.
| صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.
| أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، | ١٥ 15 |
He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
| وَجَرَشَ بِٱلْحَصَى أَسْنَانِي. كَبَسَنِي بِٱلرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He has ground my teeth with gravel and trampled me in the dust.
| وَقَدْ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسِي. نَسِيتُ ٱلْخَيْرَ. | ١٧ 17 |
My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
| وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٨ 18 |
So I say, “My strength has perished, along with my hope from the LORD.”
| ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
| ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.
| أُرَدِّدُ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُو: | ٢١ 21 |
Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
| هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. كَثِيرَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
| نَصِيبِي هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، قَالَتْ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
| طَيِّبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَهُ، لِلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّتِي تَطْلُبُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
| جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
| جَيِّدٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ٱلنِّيرَ فِي صِبَاهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
| يَجْلِسُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَسْكُتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Let him sit alone in silence, for God has disciplined him.
| يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Let him bury his face in the dust— perhaps there is still hope.
| يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For the Lord will not cast us off forever.
| فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
| أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,
| أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، | ٣٥ 35 |
to deny a man justice before the Most High,
| أَنْ يَقْلِبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٱلسَّيِّدُ لَا يَرَى! | ٣٦ 36 |
to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
| مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
| مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
| لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?
| لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
| لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: | ٤١ 41 |
Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
| «نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
“We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. | ٤٤ 44 |
You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
| جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
| فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. | ٤٦ 46 |
All our enemies open their mouths against us.
| صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». | ٤٧ 47 |
Panic and pitfall have come upon us— devastation and destruction.
| سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.
| عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ | ٤٩ 49 |
My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,
| حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
| عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. | ٥١ 51 |
My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
| قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٥٢ 52 |
Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
| قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. | ٥٣ 53 |
They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
| طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». | ٥٤ 54 |
The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
| دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
| لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
| دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». | ٥٧ 57 |
You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
| خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. | ٥٨ 58 |
You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
| رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
| رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦٠ 60 |
You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
| سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦١ 61 |
O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
| كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٦٢ 62 |
the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
| اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! | ٦٣ 63 |
When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
| رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
| أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them!
| اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٦٦ 66 |
You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD.
