مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 5
| اُذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ مَاذَا صَارَ لَنَا. أَشْرِفْ وَٱنْظُرْ إِلَى عَارِنَا. | ١ 1 |
Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach.
| قَدْ صَارَ مِيرَاثُنَا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ. بُيُوتُنَا لِلْأَجَانِبِ. | ٢ 2 |
Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
| صِرْنَا أَيْتَامًا بِلَا أَبٍ. أُمَّهَاتُنَا كَأَرَامِلَ. | ٣ 3 |
We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
| شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ. حَطَبُنَا بِٱلثَّمَنِ يَأْتِي. | ٤ 4 |
We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
| عَلَى أَعْنَاقِنَا نُضْطَهَدُ. نَتْعَبُ وَلَا رَاحَةَ لَنَا. | ٥ 5 |
We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.
| أَعْطَيْنَا ٱلْيَدَ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَشُّورِيِّينَ لِنَشْبَعَ خُبْزًا. | ٦ 6 |
We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.
| آبَاؤُنَا أَخْطَأُوا وَلَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ، وَنَحْنُ نَحْمِلُ آثَامَهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.
| عَبِيدٌ حَكَمُوا عَلَيْنَا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
| بِأَنْفُسِنَا نَأْتِي بِخُبْزِنَا مِنْ جَرَى سَيْفِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert.
| جُلُودُنَا ٱسْوَدَّتْ كَتَنُّورٍ مِنْ جَرَى نِيرَانِ ٱلْجُوعِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.
| أَذَلُّوا ٱلنِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱلْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١١ 11 |
They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda.
| ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ يُعَلَّقُونَ، وَلَمْ تُعْتَبَرْ وُجُوهُ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. | ١٢ 12 |
The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancient.
| أَخَذُوا ٱلشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَٱلصِّبْيَانَ عَثَرُوا تَحْتَ ٱلْحَطَبِ. | ١٣ 13 |
They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood.
| كَفَّتِ ٱلشُّيُوخُ عَنِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers.
| مَضَى فَرَحُ قَلْبِنَا. صَارَ رَقْصُنَا نَوْحًا. | ١٥ 15 |
The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning.
| سَقَطَ إِكْلِيلُ رَأْسِنَا. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا. | ١٦ 16 |
The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا حَزِنَ قَلْبُنَا. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذِهِ أَظْلَمَتْ عُيُونُنَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim,
| مِنْ أَجْلِ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلْخَرِبِ. ٱلثَّعَالِبُ مَاشِيَةٌ فِيهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it.
| أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ تَجْلِسُ. كُرْسِيُّكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation.
| لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time?
| اُرْدُدْنَا يَارَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْتَدَّ. جَدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَٱلْقَدِيمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning.
| هَلْ كُلَّ ٱلرَّفْضِ رَفَضْتَنَا؟ هَلْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا جِدًّا؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us.
