مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 3
| أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي رأَى مَذَلَّةً بِقَضِيبِ سَخَطِهِ. | ١ 1 |
I am the man who has seen trouble by the rod of his wrath.
| قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَا نُورَ. | ٢ 2 |
By him I have been made to go in the dark where there is no light.
| حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٣ 3 |
Truly against me his hand has been turned again and again all the day.
| أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. كَسَّرَ عِظَامِي. | ٤ 4 |
My flesh and my skin have been used up by him and my bones broken.
| بَنَى عَلَيَّ وَأَحَاطَنِي بِعَلْقَمٍ وَمَشَقَّةٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.
| أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. | ٦ 6 |
He has kept me in dark places, like those who have been long dead.
| سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. | ٧ 7 |
He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.
| أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Even when I send up a cry for help, he keeps my prayer shut out.
| سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. | ٩ 9 |
He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.
| هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. | ١٠ 10 |
He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places.
| مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. | ١١ 11 |
By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste.
| مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي كَغَرَضٍ لِلسَّهْمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.
| أَدْخَلَ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ نِبَالَ جُعْبَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
He has let loose his arrows into the inmost parts of my body.
| صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I have become the sport of all the peoples; I am their song all the day.
| أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، | ١٥ 15 |
He has made my life nothing but pain, he has given me the bitter root in full measure.
| وَجَرَشَ بِٱلْحَصَى أَسْنَانِي. كَبَسَنِي بِٱلرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
By him my teeth have been broken with crushed stones, and I am bent low in the dust.
| وَقَدْ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسِي. نَسِيتُ ٱلْخَيْرَ. | ١٧ 17 |
My soul is sent far away from peace, I have no more memory of good.
| وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٨ 18 |
And I said, My strength is cut off, and my hope from the Lord.
| ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
Keep in mind my trouble and my wandering, the bitter root and the poison.
| ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soul still keeps the memory of them; and is bent down in me.
| أُرَدِّدُ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُو: | ٢١ 21 |
This I keep in mind, and because of this I have hope.
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.
| هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. كَثِيرَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
They are new every morning; great is your good faith.
| نَصِيبِي هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، قَالَتْ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him.
| طَيِّبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَهُ، لِلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّتِي تَطْلُبُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.
| جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
| جَيِّدٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ٱلنِّيرَ فِي صِبَاهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
It is good for a man to undergo the yoke when he is young.
| يَجْلِسُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَسْكُتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Let him be seated by himself, saying nothing, because he has put it on him.
| يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Let him put his mouth in the dust, if by chance there may be hope.
| يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Let his face be turned to him who gives him blows; let him be full of shame.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For the Lord does not give a man up for ever.
| فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
For he has no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men.
| أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
| أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، | ٣٥ 35 |
In his turning away the right of a man before the face of the Most High.
| أَنْ يَقْلِبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٱلسَّيِّدُ لَا يَرَى! | ٣٦ 36 |
In his doing wrong to a man in his cause, the Lord has no pleasure.
| مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord?
| مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
Do not evil and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
| لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?
| لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;
| لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: | ٤١ 41 |
Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.
| «نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness.
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.
| جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples.
| فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. | ٤٦ 46 |
The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.
| صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». | ٤٧ 47 |
Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction.
| سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
Rivers of water are running down from my eyes, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
| عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ | ٤٩ 49 |
My eyes are streaming without stopping, they have no rest,
| حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Till the Lord's eye is turned on me, till he sees my trouble from heaven.
| عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. | ٥١ 51 |
The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town.
| قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٥٢ 52 |
They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;
| قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. | ٥٣ 53 |
They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.
| طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». | ٥٤ 54 |
Waters were flowing over my head; I said, I am cut off.
| دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison.
| لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
My voice came to you; let not your ear be shut to my breathing, to my cry.
| دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». | ٥٧ 57 |
You came near in the day when I made my prayer to you: you said, Have no fear.
| خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. | ٥٨ 58 |
O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.
| رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.
| رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦٠ 60 |
You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me.
| سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦١ 61 |
Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;
| كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٦٢ 62 |
The lips of those who came up against me, and their thoughts against me all the day.
| اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! | ٦٣ 63 |
Take note of them when they are seated, and when they get up; I am their song.
| رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
You will give them their reward, O Lord, answering to the work of their hands.
| أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
You will let their hearts be covered over with your curse on them.
| اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٦٦ 66 |
You will go after them in wrath, and put an end to them from under the heavens of the Lord.
