< إرْمِيا 12 >

أَنْتَ دَائِماً عَادِلٌ حِينَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكَ دَعْوَايَ، وَلَكِنْ دَعْنِي أُحَدِّثُكَ بِشَأْنِ أَحْكَامِكَ: لِمَاذَا تُفْلِحُ طَرِيقُ الأَشْرَارِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا يَتَمَتَّعُ الْغَادِرُونَ بِالْعَيْشِ الرَّغِيدِ؟ ١ 1
Righteous art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speak with thee of [thy] judgments. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
أَنْتَ غَرَسْتَهُمْ فَتَأَصَّلُوا وَنَمَوْا وَأَثْمَرُوا. اسْمُكَ يَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ بَعِيدٌ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ. ٢ 2
Thou hast planted them, they also have taken root: they advance, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, but far from their reins.
أَنْتَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَنِي وَرَأَيْتَنِي وَامْتَحَنْتَ قَلْبِي مِنْ نَحْوِكَ. افْرِزْهُمْ كَغَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ وَاعْزِلْهُمْ لِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ. ٣ 3
But thou, Jehovah, knowest me; thou hast seen me, and proved my heart toward thee. Drag them out like sheep for the slaughter, and set them apart for the day of slaughter.
إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّ الأَرْضُ نَائِحَةً وَعُشْبُ كُلِّ حَقْلٍ ذَاوِياً؟ هَلَكَتِ الْبَهَائِمُ والطُّيُورُ مِنْ شَرِّ السَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا الْقَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَرَى خَاتِمَةَ مَصِيرِنَا». ٤ 4
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of all the fields wither? Because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts and the birds perish; for they say, He will not see our end.
«إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ بَارَيْتَ الْمُشَاةَ فَأَعْيَوْكَ، فَكَيْفَ إِذاً تُبَارِي الْخَيْلَ؟ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَتَعَثَّرُ فِي أَرْضٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ، فَكَيْفَ تَفْعَلُ فِي أَجَمَاتِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ؟ ٥ 5
If thou hast run with footmen, and they have wearied thee, how wilt thou then contend with horses? And if in a land of peace thou thinkest thyself in security, how wilt thou then do in the swelling of the Jordan?
حَتَّى إِخْوَتُكَ وَأَفْرَادُ أُسْرَتِكَ قَدْ تَنَكَّرُوا لَكَ، وَدَعَوْا عَلَيْكَ وَرَاءَكَ بِمِلْءِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ. لَا تَأْتَمِنْهُمْ، وَإِنْ خَاطَبُوكَ بِأَلْفَاظٍ مَعْسُولَةٍ. ٦ 6
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak good [words] unto thee.
قَدْ نَبَذْتُ هَيْكَلِي وَهَجَرْتُ مِيرَاثِي، وَسَلَّمْتُ حَبِيبَةَ نَفْسِي إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهَا. ٧ 7
I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage, I have given the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
قَدْ زَمْجَرَ عَلَيَّ شَعْبِي كَأَسَدٍ فِي غَابَةٍ. رَفَعَ عَلَيَّ صَوْتَهُ، لِهَذَا مَقَتُّهُ. ٨ 8
My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it hath raised its voice against me: therefore have I hated it.
هَلْ صَارَ شَعْبِي لِي كَطَيْرٍ جَارِحٍ مُنْقَضٍّ؟ وَهَلْ تَجَمَّعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْجَوَارِحُ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ؟ هَلُمَّ احْشِدْ جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّ، وَادْعُهَا لِلأَكْلِ. ٩ 9
My heritage is unto me [as] a speckled bird of prey; the birds of prey round about are against her. Go, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
قَدْ أَتْلَفَ رُعَاةٌ كَثِيرُونَ كَرْمِي، وَدَاسُوا نَصِيبِي الشَّهِيَّ وَجَعَلُوهُ بَرِّيَّةً جَرْدَاءَ. ١٠ 10
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness:
جَعَلُوهُ خَرَاباً، وَفِي خَرَابِهِ يَنُوحُ عَلَيَّ. أَصْبَحَتِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا قَفْراً، لأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِنْسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ يَحْفِلُ بِها. ١١ 11
they have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourneth unto me: the whole land is made desolate, for no man layeth it to heart.
قَدْ أَقْبَلَ الْمُدَمِّرُونَ وَانْتَشَرُوا عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، لأَنَّ سَيْفَ الرَّبِّ يَلْتَهِمُ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا، فَلا يَنْعَمُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ بِالسَّلامِ. ١٢ 12
Spoilers are come upon all heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from one end of the land even to the [other] end of the land: no flesh hath peace.
زَرَعَ شَعْبِي حِنْطَةً وَحَصَدَ شَوْكاً. أَعْيَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَدْوَى، لِذَلِكَ يَعْتَرِيهِمِ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ قِلَّةِ غَلّاتِ مَحْصُولِهِمْ لِفَرْطِ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ». ١٣ 13
They have sown wheat, and they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain, [and] do not profit. Be ye therefore ashamed of your revenues, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ جَمِيعِ جِيرَانِي الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ يَمَسُّونَ الْمِيرَاثَ الَّذِي وَرَّثْتُهُ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْتَلِعُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ كَمَا أَقْتَلِعُ أَيْضاً شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَسْتَأْصِلَهُمْ، أَتَرأَّفُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأُعِيدُهُمْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مِيرَاثِهِ وَإِلَى أَرْضِهِ. ١٥ 15
And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land.
فَإِنْ تَلَقَّنَتِ الأُمَمُ طُرُقَ شَعْبِي بِاسْمِي، قَائِلِينَ:’حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ‘، كَمَا عَلَّمُوا شَعْبِي أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِالْبَعْلِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَنْمُونَ وَسَطَ شَعْبِي. ١٦ 16
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, [As] Jehovah liveth — even as they taught my people to swear by Baal — they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَفَضَتْ أَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ الاسْتِمَاعَ، فَإِنِّي أَسْتَأْصِلُهَا وَأَقْتَلِعُهَا وَأُدَمِّرُهَا»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ١٧ 17
And if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Jehovah.
