إرْمِيا 16
| وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ: | ١ 1 |
Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «لا تَتَزَوَّجْ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَلا تُنْجِبْ فِيهِ أَبْنَاءً وَلا بَنَاتٍ». | ٢ 2 |
“You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنِ الأَبْنَاءِ وَالْبَنَاتِ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَعَنِ الأُمَّهَاتِ وَالآبَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبُوهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْبِلادِ: | ٣ 3 |
For the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
| «سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالأَمْرَاضِ، فَلا يُنْدَبُونَ، وَلا يُدْفَنُونَ بَلْ يُصْبِحُونَ نُفَايَةً مَطْرُوحَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَيَفْنَوْنَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ، وَتَكُونُ جُثَثُهُمْ طَعَاماً لِجَوَارِحِ السَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ. | ٤ 4 |
“They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
| لَا تَدْخُلْ إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِيهِ مَأْتَمٌ، وَلا تَذْهَبْ لِتَنْدُبَ أَحَداً أَوْ لِلتَّعْزِيَةِ، لأَنِّي قَدْ نَزَعْتُ سَلامِي وَإِحْسَانِي وَمَرَاحِمِي مِنْ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، | ٥ 5 |
For the LORD says, “Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says the LORD, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
| فَيَمُوتُ الصَّغِيرُ وَالْكَبِيرُ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَلا يُدْفَنُونَ وَلا يُنْدَبُونَ أَوْ يَخْدِشُ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ يَحْلِقُ شَعْرَهُ حِدَاداً عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them.
| وَلا يُقَدِّمْ أَحَدٌ طَعَاماً فِي مَأْتَمٍ عَزَاءً لَهُمْ عَنِ الْمَيْتِ، وَلا يَسْقُونَهُمْ كَأْسَ الْمُوَاسَاةِ عَنْ فَقْدِ أَبٍ أَوْ أُمٍّ. | ٧ 7 |
Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
| وَلا تَذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِيهِ مَأْدُبَةٌ لِتَجْلِسَ مَعَهُمْ وَتَأْكُلَ وَتَشْرَبَ، | ٨ 8 |
“You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”
| لأَنِّي أَقْطَعُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَفِي أَيَّامِكُمْ، صَوْتَ أَهَازِيجِ الْبَهْجَةِ وَالطَّرَبِ، وَأَغَانِيَ الاحْتِفَالِ بِالْعَرُوسِ وَالْعَرِيسِ. | ٩ 9 |
For the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
| وَعِنْدَمَا تُبَلِّغُ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ: لِمَاذَا قَضَى الرَّبُّ عَلَيْنَا بِكُلِّ هَذَا الشَّرِّ الْعَظِيمِ؟ مَا هِيَ آثَامُنَا؟ وَأَيَّةُ خَطِيئَةٍ ارْتَكَبْنَاهَا فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا؟ | ١٠ 10 |
It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘What is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تُجِيبُهُمْ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ أَبَاءَكُمْ نَبَذُونِي وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَ الأَوْثَانِ وَعَبَدُوهَا وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، وَتَرَكُونِي وَلَمْ يُطَبِّقُوا شَرِيعَتِي. | ١١ 11 |
then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says the LORD, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshiped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
| وَلأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً قَدْ أَسَأْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ، وَغَوَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ وَرَاءَ قَلْبِهِ الشِّرِّيرِ الْعَنِيدِ وَرَفَضَ طَاعَتِي. | ١٢ 12 |
You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أَقْذِفُكُمْ خَارِجَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا أَنْتُمْ وَلا آبَاؤُكُمْ، فَتَعْبُدُونَ هُنَاكَ أَصْنَاماً بَاطِلَةً نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، لأَنِّي لَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَهُمْ رَحْمَتِي». | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
| لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ لَا يُقَالُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ: حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، | ١٤ 14 |
“Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that it will no more be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
| إِنَّمَا يُقَالُ: حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِلادِ الشِّمَالِ وَمِنْ سَائِرِ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي سَبَاهُمْ إِلَيْهَا. لأَنِّي سَأُرْجِعُهُمْ ثَانِيَةً إِلَى أَرْضِهِمِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
| هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ صَيَّادِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، لِيَصْطَادُوهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَبْعَثُ بِقَنَّاصِينَ كَثِيرِينَ لِيَقْتَنِصُوهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ رَابِيَةٍ وَمِنْ شُقُوقِ الصُّخُورِ. | ١٦ 16 |
“Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the LORD, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
| لأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تُرَاقِبَانِ طُرُقَهُمُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَحْتَجِبْ عَنِّي وَإِثْمَهُمُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَسْتَتِرْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٧ 17 |
For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.
| فَأُعَاقِبُهُمْ عِقَاباً مُضَاعَفاً عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ دَنَّسُوا أَرْضِي بِجُثَثِ أَصْنَامِهِمْ، وَمَلَأُوا مِيرَاثِي بِنَجَاسَاتِهِمْ». | ١٨ 18 |
First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
| يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ عِزِّي وَحِصْنِي وَمَلاذِي فِي يَوْمِ الضِّيقِ، إِلَيْكَ تُقْبِلُ الأُمَمُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ قَائِلَةً: «لَمْ يَرِثْ آبَاؤُنَا سِوَى الْبَاطِلِ وَالأَكَاذِيبِ وَمَا لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
LORD, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
| هَلْ فِي وُسْعِ الْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ إِلَهاً؟ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً. | ٢٠ 20 |
Should a man make to himself gods which yet are no gods?”
| فَلِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أُعَرِّفُهُمْ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ قُوَّتِي وَجَبَرُوتِي، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ اسْمِي يَهْوَه (أَيِ الرَّبُّ)». | ٢١ 21 |
“Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD.”
