مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 3
| أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي رأَى مَذَلَّةً بِقَضِيبِ سَخَطِهِ. | ١ 1 |
I AM the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
| قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَا نُورَ. | ٢ 2 |
He has led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
| حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٣ 3 |
Surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day.
| أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. كَسَّرَ عِظَامِي. | ٤ 4 |
My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones.
| بَنَى عَلَيَّ وَأَحَاطَنِي بِعَلْقَمٍ وَمَشَقَّةٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
| أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. | ٦ 6 |
He has set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
| سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. | ٧ 7 |
He has hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.
| أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
| سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. | ٩ 9 |
He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he has made my paths crooked.
| هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. | ١٠ 10 |
He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
| مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. | ١١ 11 |
He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he has made me desolate.
| مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي كَغَرَضٍ لِلسَّهْمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
| أَدْخَلَ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ نِبَالَ جُعْبَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
| صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
| أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، | ١٥ 15 |
He has filled me with bitterness, he has made me drunken with wormwood.
| وَجَرَشَ بِٱلْحَصَى أَسْنَانِي. كَبَسَنِي بِٱلرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he has covered me with ashes.
| وَقَدْ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسِي. نَسِيتُ ٱلْخَيْرَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And you have removed my soul far off from peace: I forgotten about prosperity.
| وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٨ 18 |
And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
| ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
| ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soul has them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
| أُرَدِّدُ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُو: | ٢١ 21 |
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
| 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 will I hope in him.
| طَيِّبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَهُ، لِلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّتِي تَطْلُبُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
| جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
| جَيِّدٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ٱلنِّيرَ فِي صِبَاهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth.
| يَجْلِسُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَسْكُتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He sits alone and keeps silence, because he has borne it upon him.
| يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He puts his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
| يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
He gives his cheek to him that strikes him: he is filled full with reproach.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For the LORD will not cast off for ever:
| فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
For he does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
| أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
| أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، | ٣٥ 35 |
To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
| أَنْ يَقْلِبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٱلسَّيِّدُ لَا يَرَى! | ٣٦ 36 |
To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approves not.
| مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord commands it not?
| مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
| لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
Wherefore does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
| لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Let us search and try our ways, and return to the LORD.
| لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: | ٤١ 41 |
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
| «نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned.
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. | ٤٤ 44 |
You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
| جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
You have made us as the waste and refuse in the midst of the people.
| فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. | ٤٦ 46 |
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
| صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». | ٤٧ 47 |
Fear and a snare has come upon us, desolation and destruction.
| سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
Mine eye runs down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
| عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ | ٤٩ 49 |
Mine eye trickes down, and ceases not, without any intermission.
| حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
| عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. | ٥١ 51 |
Mine eye affects mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
| قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٥٢ 52 |
Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
| قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. | ٥٣ 53 |
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
| طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». | ٥٤ 54 |
Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
| دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
| لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
| دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». | ٥٧ 57 |
You drew near in the day that I called upon you: you said, Fear not.
| خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. | ٥٨ 58 |
O LORD, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.
| رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
O LORD, you have seen my wrong: judge you my cause.
| رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦٠ 60 |
You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
| سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦١ 61 |
You have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
| كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٦٢ 62 |
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
| اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! | ٦٣ 63 |
Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
| رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
| أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
Give them sorrow of heart, your curse unto them.
| اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٦٦ 66 |
Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
