< إرْمِيا 11 >

هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ لإِرْمِيَا: ١ 1
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
«اسْتَمِعْ كَلامَ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ وَخَاطِبْ رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٢ 2
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مَلْعُونٌ الَّذِي لَا يَسْمَعُ كَلِمَاتِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ، ٣ 3
and say thou to them, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant,
الَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُ بِهِ آبَاءَكُمْ حِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ كُورِ الْحَدِيدِ قَائِلاً: اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَى صَوْتِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِمُقْتَضَى مَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ، فَتَكُونُوا لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً، ٤ 4
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you, so ye shall be my people, and I will be your God,
فَأَفِي بِالْقَسَمِ الَّذِي أَقْسَمْتُ بِهِ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ أَهَبَهُمْ أَرْضاً تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، كَمَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ». فَأَجَبْتُ قَائِلاً: «آمِينَ يَا رَبُّ». ٥ 5
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then I answered, and said, Truly, O Jehovah.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «أَذِعْ كُلَّ هَذَا الْكَلامِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَاتِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ وَاعْمَلُوا بِها. ٦ 6
And Jehovah said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
فَإِنِّي مُنْذُ أَنْ أَخْرَجْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ حَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، أَشْهَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْمَرَّةَ تِلْوَ الأُخْرَى قَائِلاً: أَطِيعُوا صَوْتِي. ٧ 7
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، إِنَّمَا سَلَكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِمُوْجِبِ عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ الشِّرِّيرِ. فَأَجْرَيْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ كَلامِ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ وَلَمْ يُنَفِّذُوهُ». ٨ 8
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked each one in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
ثُمَّ خَاطَبَنِي الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ شَاعَتْ فِتْنَةٌ بَيْنَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٩ 9
And Jehovah said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
فَقَدِ ارْتَدُّوا إِلَى آثَامِ أَسْلافِهِمِ الَّذِينَ أَبَوْا الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَى كَلِمَاتِي، ضَلُّوا وَرَاءَ الأَصْنَامِ لِيَعْبُدُوهَا، وَقَدْ نَكَثَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَشَعْبُ يَهُوذَا عَهْدِي الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أُنْزِلُ بِهِمْ شَرّاً لَنْ يُفْلِتُوا مِنْهُ، فَيَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِي فَلا أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. ١١ 11
Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape. And they shall cry to me, but I will not hearken to them.
فَيَلْجَأُ سُكَّانُ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الأَصْنَامِ الَّتِي أَحْرَقُوا لَهَا الْبَخُورَ لِيَسْتَغِيثُوا بِها، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَنْ تُغِيثَهُمْ فِي سَاعَةِ الْمِحْنَةِ. ١٢ 12
Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
صَارَ عَدَدُ آلِهَتِكَ يَا يَهُوذَا كَعَدَدِ مُدُنِكَ، وَأَضْحَتْ مَذَابِحُكَ الَّتِي نَصَبْتَهَا لِلْخِزْيِ وَلإِصْعَادِ الْبَخُورِ لِلْبَعْلَ بِعَدَدِ شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٣ 13
For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah, and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem ye have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.
فَلا تَبْتَهِلَنَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَلا تَرْفَعَنَّ لأَجْلِهِمْ دُعَاءً وَلا صَلاةً، فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَسْمَعَ لَهُمْ وَقْتَ اسْتِغَاثَتِهِمْ بِي مِنْ مِحْنَتِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
Therefore do not pray thou for this people, nor lift up cry nor prayer for them, for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
أَيُّ حَقٍّ لِحَبِيبَتِي فِي بَيْتِي بَعْدَ أَنِ ارْتَكَبَتِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ الْكَثِيرَةَ؟ أَيُمْكِنُ لِلَحْمِ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسِ أَنْ يَصْرِفَ عَنْكِ عِقَابَكِ؟ عِنْدَمَا تَنْغَمِسِينَ فِي شَرِّكِ آنَئِذٍ تَبْتَهِجِينَ». ١٥ 15
What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh has passed from thee? When thou do evil, then thou rejoice.
قَدْ دَعَاكِ الرَّبُّ مَرَّةً زَيْتُونَةً خَضْرَاءَ ذَاتَ ثَمَرٍ بَهِيجِ الْمَنْظَرِ. أَمَّا الآنَ فَبِزَمْجَرةٍ عَاصِفَةٍ رَهِيبَةٍ يُضْرِمُ فِيهَا نَاراً تَلْتَهِمُ أَغْصَانَهَا. ١٦ 16
Jehovah called thy name, A green olive tree, fair with goodly fruit. With the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ الَّذِي غَرَسَكِ قَدْ قَضَى بِالشَّرِّ عَلَيْكِ عِقَاباً لِمَا ارْتَكَبَهُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَشَعْبُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ إِثْمٍ، فَأَثَارُوا غَيْظِي بِإِحْرَاقِ الْبَخُورِ لِلْبَعْلِ. ١٧ 17
For Jehovah of hosts, who planted thee, has pronounced evil against thee because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
وَقَدْ أَطْلَعَنِي الرَّبُّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَعَرَفْتُ؛ ثُمَّ أَرَيْتَنِي أَعْمَالَهُمُ الْمُنْكَرَةَ. ١٨ 18
And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then thou showed me their doings.
وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ كَحَمَلٍ أَلِيفٍ يُسَاقُ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ، لَمْ أُدْرِكْ أَنَّهُمْ يَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَيَّ قَائِلِينَ: «لِنُتْلِفِ الشَّجَرَةَ وَثِمَارَهَا، وَلْنَسْتَأْصِلْهُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ فَيَنْدَثِرَ اسْمُهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.» ١٩ 19
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. And I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit of it. And let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may no more be remembered.
وَلَكِنْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، الْقَاضِي بِالإِنْصَافِ، الْفَاحِصُ الْقُلُوبِ وَالنَّوَايَا، دَعْنِي أَشْهَدُ انْتِقَامَكَ مِنْهُمْ لأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ دَعْوَايَ. ٢٠ 20
But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judges righteously, who tries the heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them, for to thee I have revealed my case.
«لِذَلِكَ، هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ رِجَالِ عَنَاثُوثَ الَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ نَفْسَكَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ لِئَلَّا تَمُوتَ بِأَيْدِينَا. ٢١ 21
Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek thy life, saying, Thou shall not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that thou not die by our hand.
لِهَذَا يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُهُمْ فَيَمُوتُ شَبَابُهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَيَهْلِكُ أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ وَبَنَاتُهُمْ جُوْعاً. ٢٢ 22
Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters shall die by famine,
وَلا تُفْلِتُ مِنْهُمْ بَقِيَّةٌ، لأَنِّي فِي سَنَةِ عِقَابِهِمْ أَجْلِبُ شَرّاً عَلَى رِجَالِ عَنَاثُوثَ». ٢٣ 23
and there shall be no remnant to them. For I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
