< إرْمِيا 1 >

هَذِهِ نُبُوءَةُ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَلْقِيَّا أَحَدِ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي عَنَاثُوثَ بِأَرْضِ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. ١ 1
The words of Jeremias the son of Helcias, of the priests that were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin.
وَقَدْ أَعْلَنَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ هَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةَ فِي عَهْدِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ. ٢ 2
The word of the Lord which came to him in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
وَذَلِكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حِقْبَةِ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَحَتَّى نِهَايَةِ الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ وِلايَةِ صِدْقِيَّا بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الَّذِي فِيهِ تَمَّ سَبْيُ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٣ 3
And which came to him in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, unto the end of the eleventh year of Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda, even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلاً: ٤ 4
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
«قَبْلَمَا شَكَّلْتُكَ فِي أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّكَ عَرَفْتُكَ، وَقَبْلَمَا وُلِدْتَ أَفْرَزْتُكَ، وَأَقَمْتُكَ نَبِيًّا لِلأُمَمِ». ٥ 5
Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ، لأَنِّي مَازِلْتُ وَلَداً» ٦ 6
And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ أَجَابَنِي: «لا تَقُلْ إِنِّي لَسْتُ سِوَى وَلَدٍ، لأَنَّكَ سَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَنْ أَبْعَثُ بِكَ إِلَيْهِ، وَتَنْطِقُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. ٧ 7
And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ». ٨ 8
Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
ثُمَّ مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَ فَمِي وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أَضَعُ كَلِمَاتِي فِي فَمِكَ. ٩ 9
And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me: Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:
انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ وَلَّيْتُكَ عَلَى أُمَمٍ وَشُعُوبٍ لِتَسْتَأْصِلَ وَتَهْدِمَ وَتُبَدِّدَ وَتَقْلِبَ وَتَبْنِيَ وَتَغْرِسَ». ١٠ 10
Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up, and pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.
وَسَأَلَنِي الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا تَرَى يَا إِرْمِيَا؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى غُصْنَ لَوْزٍ». ١١ 11
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ الرُّؤْيَةَ، لأَنِّي سَاهِرٌ عَلَى كَلِمَتِي لأُتَمِّمَهَا». ١٢ 12
And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it.
وَعَادَ الرَّبُّ يَسْأَلُنِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى قِدْراً تَغْلِي، وَوَجْهُهَا مُتَحَوِّلٌ عَنِ الشِّمَالِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ». ١٣ 13
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying: What seest thou? I see a boiling caldron, and the face thereof from the face of the north.
فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «مِنَ الشِّمَالِ يَكُونُ تَدَفُّقُ الشَّرِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
And the Lord said to me: from the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
لأَنِّي هَا أَنَا دَاعٍ جَمِيعَ عَشَائِرِ الْمَمَالِكِ الشِّمَالِيَّةِ لِيَأْتُوا، فَيَنْصِبُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَرْشَهُ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَاتِ مَدِينَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ أَسْوَارِهَا الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. ١٥ 15
For behold I will call together all the families of the kingdoms of the north: saith the Lord: and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all the walls thereof round about, and upon all the cities of Juda,
وَأُصْدِرُ عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمَ قَضَائِي مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي، وَأَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ. ١٦ 16
And I will pronounce my judgements against them, touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, and have adored the work of their own hands.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَأَهَّبْ، وَقُمْ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لِئَلَّا أُفْزِعَكَ أَمَامَهُمْ. ١٧ 17
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence: for I will make thee not to fear their countenance.
انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ قَوِيًّا كَمَدِينَةٍ حَصِينَةٍ، وَكَعَمُودٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَكَأَسْوَارٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، لِتُجَابِهَ كُلَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، وَمُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا وَأُمَرَاءَهَا وَكَهَنَتَهَا وَشَعْبَ الْبِلادِ، ١٨ 18
For behold I have made thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass, over all the land, to the kings of Juda, to the princes thereof, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْهَرُونَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». ١٩ 19
And they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
