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 caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
| حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٣ 3 |
Surely against me he turns his hand again and again all the day.
| أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. كَسَّرَ عِظَامِي. | ٤ 4 |
My flesh and my skin he has made old; he has broken my bones.
| بَنَى عَلَيَّ وَأَحَاطَنِي بِعَلْقَمٍ وَمَشَقَّةٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
| أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. | ٦ 6 |
He has made me to dwell in dark places, like those that have been long dead.
| سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. | ٧ 7 |
He has walled me in, so I can't escape; he has made my chains heavy.
| أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
| سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. | ٩ 9 |
He has walled up my ways with cut stone; he has made my paths crooked.
| هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. | ١٠ 10 |
He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
| مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. | ١١ 11 |
He has obstructed my path, and torn 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 pierce my inward parts.
| صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I have become a laughingstock to all peoples, and their song all the day.
| أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، | ١٥ 15 |
He has filled me with bitterness, he has given me in full measure wormwood.
| وَجَرَشَ بِٱلْحَصَى أَسْنَانِي. كَبَسَنِي بِٱلرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He has also broken my teeth with gravel; he has pressed me down in the dust.
| وَقَدْ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسِي. نَسِيتُ ٱلْخَيْرَ. | ١٧ 17 |
You have removed my soul far away from peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
| وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٨ 18 |
And I said, "My strength and my hope has perished from the LORD."
| ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
| ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soul considers them, and is depressed.
| أُرَدِّدُ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُو: | ٢١ 21 |
But this I call to my mind; therefore I have hope:
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
The LORD's faithful love does not cease; his compassion does not 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 that seeks him.
| جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
It is good that a man should 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 while he is young.
| يَجْلِسُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَسْكُتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Let him sit alone and keep silence when he is disciplining him.
| يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Let him put his mouth to the dust, there may yet be hope.
| يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled with insults.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For the LORD will not reject forever.
| فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
For though he may cause grief, yet he will have compassion according to the abundance of his loving kindness.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
For he is not predisposed to bring affliction or suffering to human beings.
| أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth;
| أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، | ٣٥ 35 |
to deprive a man of justice 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 does not approve.
| مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
Who can speak a thing and have it come to pass, unless the LORD has commanded it?
| مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
Doesn't both calamity and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
| لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
| لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Let us examine and search 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 to God in the heavens.
| «نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
We have transgressed and have rebelled, and you have not forgiven.
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you killed without sparing.
| ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. | ٤٤ 44 |
You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
| جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
You have made us rubbish and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
| فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. | ٤٦ 46 |
All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
| صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». | ٤٧ 47 |
Fear and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.
| سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
Streams of tears run down from my eyes because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
| عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ | ٤٩ 49 |
My tears flow and do not cease, without respite,
| حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
until the LORD looks down and sees from heaven.
| عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. | ٥١ 51 |
My eyes bring my soul grief, because of all the daughters of my city.
| قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٥٢ 52 |
They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
| قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. | ٥٣ 53 |
They have cut off my life in a pit, and have cast a stone on me.
| طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». | ٥٤ 54 |
Waters flowed over my head; I said, 'I am finished.'
| دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I called on your name, LORD, out of the depths of the pit.
| لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
You heard my voice; do not hide your ear at my sighs, to my cry.
| دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». | ٥٧ 57 |
You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said, "Do not be afraid."
| خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. | ٥٨ 58 |
LORD, you have taken up the case for my soul; you have redeemed my life.
| رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
You have seen, LORD, the wrong done to me; judge my case.
| رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦٠ 60 |
You have seen all their vengeance and all their plots against me.
| سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦١ 61 |
You have heard their insults, LORD, and all their plots against me.
| كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٦٢ 62 |
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
| اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! | ٦٣ 63 |
Look their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their mocking song.
| رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
You will render to them what they deserve, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
| أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
You will give them hardness of heart as your curse to them.
| اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٦٦ 66 |
You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
