إرْمِيا 14
| هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها إِلَى إرْمِيَا بِشَأْنِ الْقَحْطِ: | ١ 1 |
This is the LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
| «أَرْضُ يَهُوذَا تَنُوحُ وَأَبْوَابُهَا وَاهِيَةٌ. أَهْلُهَا يَنْدُبُونَ مَطْرُوحِينَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَعَوِيلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَى الْعُلَى. | ٢ 2 |
“Judah mourns, and its gates languish. They sit in black on the ground. The cry of Jerusalem goes up.
| أَرْسَلَ أَشْرَافُهُمْ خُدَّامَهُمْ لِيَحْمِلُوا إِلَيْهِمِ الْمَاءَ، فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَى الْجِبَابِ وَإذَا بِها فَارِغَةٌ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، فَرَجَعُوا بِجِرَارٍ خَاوِيَةٍ وَقَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْخِزْيُ وَالْخَجَلُ وَغَطَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
Their nobles send their little ones to the waters. They come to the cisterns, and find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
| خَزِيَ الْفَلاحُونَ وَغَطَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ تَشَقَّقَتْ لاِنْقِطَاعِ الْمَطَرِ عَنْهَا. | ٤ 4 |
Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed. They cover their heads.
| حَتَّى الإِيَّلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ قَدْ هَجَرَتْ وَلِيدَهَا لِتَعَذُّرِ وُجُودِ الْكَلَأ. | ٥ 5 |
Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
| وَقَفَتِ الْفِرَاءُ عَلَى الرَّوَابِي وَتَنَسَّمَتِ الرِّيحَ كَبَنَاتِ آوَى فَكَلَّتْ عُيُونُهَا لِعَدَمِ وُجُودِ الْعُشْبِ». | ٦ 6 |
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. They pant for air like jackals. Their eyes fail, because there is no vegetation.
| وَإِنْ تَكُنْ آثَامُنَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا يَا رَبُّ، فَلأَجْلِ اسْمِكَ خَلِّصْنَا، لأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ وَقَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name’s sake, LORD; for our rebellions are many. We have sinned against you.
| يَا رَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمُخَلِّصَهُ فِي وَقْتِ الضِّيقِ، لِمَاذَا تَكُونُ كَغَرِيبٍ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَكَعَابِرِ سَبِيلٍ يَمِيلُ لِيَبِيتَ ثُمَّ يَمْضِي؟ | ٨ 8 |
You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
| لِمَاذَا تَكُونُ كَالرَّجُلِ الْمُتَحَيِّرِ وكَجَبَّارٍ يَعْجِزُ عَنِ الْخَلاصِ؟ وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَائِمٌ فِي وَسَطِنَا، وَبِاسْمِكَ دُعِينَا، فَلا تَتْرُكْنَا. | ٩ 9 |
Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, LORD, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave us.
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ: «لَشَدَّ مَا أَحَبُّوا التَّجَوُّلَ وَلَمْ يَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ الشَّرِّ، لِذَلِكَ لَا يَقْبَلُهُمُ اللهُ. وَالآنَ يَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَيُعَاقِبُ خَطَايَاهُمْ». | ١٠ 10 |
The LORD says to this people: “Even so they have loved to wander. They have not restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish them for their sins.”
| وَقَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «لا تُصَلِّ لِخَيْرِ الشَّعْبِ. | ١١ 11 |
The LORD said to me, “Don’t pray for this people for their good.
| وَإِنْ صَامُوا فَلَنْ أَسْتَجِيبَ إِلَى صُرَاخِهِمْ، وَإِنْ قَرَّبُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَتَقْدِمَاتِ دَقِيقٍ فَلَنْ أَتَقَبَّلَهَا، وَلَكِنِّي أُفْنِيهِمْ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْمَجَاعَةِ وَالْوَبَاءِ». | ١٢ 12 |
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
| ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، هَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ الْكَذَبَةُ يَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ: لَنْ تَتَعَرَّضُوا لِلسَّيْفِ وَلا لِلْجُوعِ، بَلْ أُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِسَلامٍ مُحَقَّقٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’”
| وَقَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنَّ الأَنْبِيَاءَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ زُوراً بِاسْمِي وَأَنَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ وَلَمْ آمُرْهُمْ، وَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْهُمْ، إِنَّمَا هُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِرُؤْيَا كَاذِبَةٍ وَعِرَافَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ مُسْتَوْحَاةٍ مِنْ ضَلالِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I didn’t send them. I didn’t command them. I didn’t speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ هَؤُلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ بِاسْمِي: مَعَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لَنْ تُبْتَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ بِسَيْفٍ وَلا مَجَاعَةٍ، لِهَذَا فَإِنَّ هَؤلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءَ يَفْنَوْنَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْمَجَاعَةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Therefore the LORD says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, but I didn’t send them, yet they say, ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ Those prophets will be consumed by sword and famine.
| وَيَغْدُو الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَهُ، مَطْرُوحاً صَرِيعاً فِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فَرِيسَةَ الْجُوعِ وَالسَّيْفِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهُمْ هُمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ، وَأَصُبُّ شَرَّهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ». | ١٦ 16 |
The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them.
| وَقُلْ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْكَلامَ: «لِتَذْرِفْ عَيْنَايَ دُمُوعاً لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، وَلا تَكُفَّا أَبَداً لأَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ سُحِقَتْ سَحْقاً عَظِيماً بِضَرْبَةٍ أَلِيمَةٍ جِدّاً. | ١٧ 17 |
“You shall say this word to them: “‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
| إِنْ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْحُقُولِ أَشْهَدُ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ، وَإِنْ دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ أَرَى ضَحَايَا الْمَجَاعَةِ. وَهَا النَّبِيُّ وَالْكَاهِنُ كِلاهُمَا يَذْهَبَانِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَا يَعْرِفَانِهَا». | ١٨ 18 |
If I go out into the field, then behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”
| هَلْ تَنَكَّرْتَ لِيَهُوذَا كُلَّ التَّنَكُّرِ؟ وَهَلْ كَرِهَتْ نَفْسُكَ صِهْيَوْنَ؟ مَا بَالُكَ قَدِ ابْتَلَيْتَنَا بِضَرْبَةٍ لَا شِفَاءَ مِنْهَا؟ وَقَدْ طَلَبْنَا السَّلامَ فَلَمْ نَحْظَ بِالْخَيْرِ. رَجَوْنَا وَقْتَ الشِّفَاءِ وَإذَا بِنَا نَلْقَى الرُّعْبَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
| نَحْنُ نُقِرُّ بِشَرِّنَا يَا رَبُّ وَبِآثَامِ آبَائِنَا، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
| لَا تَرْفُضْنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ وَلا تَهِنْ عَرْشَكَ الْمَجِيدَ. اذْكُرْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَنَا وَلا تَنْقُضْهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake. Do not disgrace the throne of your glory. Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us.
| هَلْ بَيْنَ أَصْنَامِ الأُمَمِ الْبَاطِلَةِ مَنْ يَمْطُرُ؟ أَوْ هَلْ تَسْكُبُ السَّمَوَاتُ بِنَفْسِهَا وَابِلَ الْغَيْثِ؟ أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا؟ إِنَّنَا إِيَّاكَ نَرْجُو لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ هَذِهِ جَمِيعَهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, the LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
