< إرْمِيا 1 >

هَذِهِ نُبُوءَةُ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَلْقِيَّا أَحَدِ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي عَنَاثُوثَ بِأَرْضِ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. ١ 1
The words of Jeremiah the son of Chilkiyahu, one 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
To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah, 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 who continued [prophet] in the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the carrying away into exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلاً: ٤ 4
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
«قَبْلَمَا شَكَّلْتُكَ فِي أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّكَ عَرَفْتُكَ، وَقَبْلَمَا وُلِدْتَ أَفْرَزْتُكَ، وَأَقَمْتُكَ نَبِيًّا لِلأُمَمِ». ٥ 5
Before yet I had formed thee in thy mother's body I knew thee; and before thou wast yet come forth out of the womb I sanctified thee: a prophet unto the nations did I ordain thee.
فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ، لأَنِّي مَازِلْتُ وَلَداً» ٦ 6
And I said, Ah, Lord Eternal! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am [but] a lad.
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 unto me, Say not, I am [but] a lad; but to whomsoever I may send thee shalt thou go, and whatsoever I may command thee shalt thou speak.
لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ». ٨ 8
Be not afraid because of them; 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 stretched forth his hand, and touched [me] therewith on my mouth; and the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ وَلَّيْتُكَ عَلَى أُمَمٍ وَشُعُوبٍ لِتَسْتَأْصِلَ وَتَهْدِمَ وَتُبَدِّدَ وَتَقْلِبَ وَتَبْنِيَ وَتَغْرِسَ». ١٠ 10
See, I have appointed thee this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down: to build up, and to plant.
وَسَأَلَنِي الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا تَرَى يَا إِرْمِيَا؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى غُصْنَ لَوْزٍ». ١١ 11
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, A staff of all almond-tree do I see.
فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ الرُّؤْيَةَ، لأَنِّي سَاهِرٌ عَلَى كَلِمَتِي لأُتَمِّمَهَا». ١٢ 12
And the Lord said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watching 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 unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A seething pot do I see; and the front thereof is turned from the north.
فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «مِنَ الشِّمَالِ يَكُونُ تَدَفُّقُ الشَّرِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
And the Lord said unto me, Out of the north shall the evil break forth over 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, lo, I will call unto all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all its walls round about, and upon [those of] all the cities of Judah.
وَأُصْدِرُ عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمَ قَضَائِي مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي، وَأَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ. ١٦ 16
And I will call them to account touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, and have bowed down unto the works of their own hands.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَأَهَّبْ، وَقُمْ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لِئَلَّا أُفْزِعَكَ أَمَامَهُمْ. ١٧ 17
But do thou gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I may command thee; be not discouraged because of them, lest I humble thee before them.
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
But I, behold, I have made of thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls over the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْهَرُونَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». ١٩ 19
And [although] they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee; for with thee am I saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
