إرْمِيا 17
| «قَدْ دُوِّنَتْ خَطِيئَةُ يَهُوذَا بِقَلَمٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَنُقِشَتْ بِرَأْسٍ مِنَ الْمَاسِ عَلَى أَلْوَاحِ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَى قُرُونِ الْمَذَابِحِ، | ١ 1 |
The sin of Judah is written down with a pen of iron, with the point of a diamond: it is engraved upon the table of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.
| بَيْنَمَا أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ يَذْكُرُونَ مَذَابِحَهُمْ وَأَنْصَابَ عَشْتَارُوثَ إِلَى جُوَارِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَعَلَى الآكَامِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ، | ٢ 2 |
Like their remembrance of their children, so are [to them] their altars and their groves by [every] green tree upon the high hills.
| وَعَلَى الْجِبَالِ الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ الشَّاسِعَةِ. لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُ ثَرْوَتَكَ وَكُنُوزَكَ نَهْباً، ثَمَناً لِخَطِيئَتِكَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبْتَهَا فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ، | ٣ 3 |
O my mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give up for spoil, thy high-places [reared] with sin, throughout all thy borders.
| وَتَفْقِدُ بِنَفْسِكَ مِيرَاثَكَ الَّذِي وَهَبْتُهُ لَكَ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ مُسْتَعْبَداً لأَعْدَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ لَا تَعْرِفُهَا لأَنَّكَ أَضْرَمْتَ نَاراً فِي غَضَبِي لَا يَخْمَدُ لَهَا لَهِيبٌ». | ٤ 4 |
And thou shalt be cast out, yea through thy own guilt, from thy heritage which I have given thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not; for a fire have ye kindled in my anger, for ever shall it burn.
| وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «لِيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً كُلُّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَى بَشَرٍ، وَيَتَّخِذُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ذِرَاعَ قُوَّةٍ لَهُ، وَيُحَوِّلُ قَلْبَهُ عَنِ الرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
Thus hath said the Lord, Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and placeth on flesh his dependence, while from the Lord his heart departeth.
| فَيَكُونُ كَالأَثَلِ فِي الْبَادِيَةِ، لَا يَرَى الْفَلاحَ عِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُ. يُقِيمُ فِي حَرِّ الصَّحْرَاءِ الشَّدِيدِ، فِي الأَرْضِ الْمَهْجُورَةِ مِنَ النَّاسِ لِمُلُوحَتِهَا. | ٦ 6 |
And he shall be like a lonely tree in the desert, which feeleth not when the good cometh; but abideth in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salty land which cannot be inhabited.
| وَلَكِنْ مُبَارَكٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَّخِذُهُ مُعْتَمَداً لَهُ، | ٧ 7 |
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord will be his trust.
| فَيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عِنْدَ الْمِيَاهِ، تَمُدُّ جُذُورَهَا إِلَى الْجَدْوَلِ، وَلا تَخْشَى اشْتِدَادَ الْحَرِّ الْمُقْبِلِ، إِذْ تَظَلُّ أَوْرَاقُهَا خَضْرَاءَ، وَلا يُفْزِعُهَا الْقَحْطُ لأَنَّهَا لَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ الإِثْمَارِ. | ٨ 8 |
And he shall be like a tree that is planted by the waters, and by a stream spreadeth out its roots, which feeleth not when heat cometh, but its leaf remaineth green; and in a year of drought it is undisturbed by care, and ceaseth not from yielding fruit.
| الْقَلْبُ أَخْدَعُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ نَجِيسٌ، فَمَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْهَمَهُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Deceitful is the heart above all things, and sick: who can know it?
| أَنَا الرَّبُّ أَفْحَصُ الْقُلُوبَ وَأَمْتَحِنُ الأَفْكَارَ، لأُجَازِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ طُرُقِهِ، وَبِمُقْتَضَى أَفْعَالِهِ». | ١٠ 10 |
I the Lord search the heart, probe the reins: yea, to give unto every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
| مُكْتَنِزُ الْغِنَى مِنْ غَيْرِ حَقٍّ كَحَجَلَةٍ تَحْتَضِنُ وَتَفْقِسُ مَا لَمْ تَبِضْ، لأَنَّهُ سَرْعَانَ مَا يَفْقِدُهُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ حَيَاتِهِ، وَيَضْحَى آخِرَ أَيَّامِهِ أَحْمَقَ. | ١١ 11 |
As a cuckoo that sitteth on eggs which he hath not laid, so is he that get the riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be called wicked.
| الْعَرْشُ الْمَجِيدُ الْمُرْتَفِعُ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ هُوَ مَقَرُّ مَقْدِسِنَا. | ١٢ 12 |
A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary!
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ رَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ يَتَخَلُّونَ عَنْكَ يَلْحَقُ بِهِمِ الْخِزْيُ، وَالَّذِينَ يَنْصَرِفُونَ عَنْكَ (يَزُولُونَ) كَمَنْ كُتِبَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى التُّرَابِ لأَنَّهُمْ نَبَذُوا الرَّبَّ يَنْبُوعَ الْمِيَاهِ الْحَيَّةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Hope of Israel, O Lord, all that forsake thee shall be made ashamed, and the backsliders among me shall be written down on the earth; because they have forsaken the fountain of living waters, the Lord.
| أَبْرِئْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَأَبْرَأَ. خَلِّصْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَسْبِحَتِي. | ١٤ 14 |
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed: save me, and I shall be saved; for my praise art thou.
| هَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ لِي: «أَيْنَ قَضَاءُ الرَّبِّ؟ لِيَأْتِ». | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَتَهَرَّبْ مِنْ أَنْ أَكُونَ رَاعِياً لَدَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَتَمَنَّ مَجِيءَ يَوْمِ الْمِحْنَةِ، وَتَعْلَمُ مَا نَطَقَتْ بِهِ شَفَتَايَ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا صَدَرَ عَنْهُمَا كَانَ فِي مَحْضَرِكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
As for me, I have not hastened to be a shepherd to follow thee; and the woeful day have I not longed for; thou knowest it: what came out of my lips was known before thee.
| لَا تَكُنْ مَثَارَ رُعْبٍ لِي، فَأَنْتَ مَلاذِي فِي يَوْمِ الشَّرِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
Be not a terror unto me: thou art my protection on the day of evil.
| لِيَلْحَقِ الْخِزْيُ بِمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِ احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الْعَارِ. لِيَرْتَعِبُوا هُمْ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلا تَدَعْنِي أَرْتَعِبُ. اجْعَلْ يَوْمَ الشَّرِّ يَحُلُّ بِهِمْ، وَاسْحَقْهُمْ سَحْقاً مُضَاعَفاً. | ١٨ 18 |
Let those be made ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be made ashamed: let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and strike them with a double breach.
| وَهَذَا مَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ لِي: «امْضِ وَقِفْ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ أَبْنَاءِ الشَّعْبِ الَّتِي يَدْخُلُ مِنْهَا مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا وَيَخْرُجُونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ سَائِرِ بَوَّابَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٩ 19 |
Thus said the Lord unto me, Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah usually enter, and by which they usually go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
| وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا مُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا وَشَعْبَهَا، وَيَا جَمِيعَ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْمُجْتَازِينَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates.
| هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: احْتَرِسُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلا تَحْمِلُوا أَحْمَالاً فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ وَلا تُدْخِلُوهَا فِي بَوَّابَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٢١ 21 |
Thus hath said the Lord, Take heed for your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath-day, nor bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem;
| وَلا تَنْقُلُوا حِمْلاً إِلَى خَارِجِ بُيُوتِكُمْ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ وَلا تَقُومُوا بِأَيِّ عَمَلٍ. إِنَّمَا قَدِّسُوا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Nor shall you carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and no manner of work shall ye do, but hallow ye the sabbath-day, as I have commanded your fathers;
| مَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا وَلَمْ يُصْغُوا، بَلْ قَسَّوْا قُلُوبَهُمْ لِئَلَّا يَسْمَعُوا وَلِئَلَّا يَقْبَلُوا التَّأْدِيبَ | ٢٣ 23 |
But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; and they made their neck stiff, so as not to hearken, and not to receive instruction.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنِ اسْتَمَعْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَلَمْ تُدْخِلُوا أَحْمَالاً فِي بَوَّابَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ، بَلْ قَدَّسْتُمُوهُ وَلَمْ تَقُومُوا بِأَيِّ عَمَلٍ فِيهِ، | ٢٤ 24 |
And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken unto me, saith the Lord, so as to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, and to hallow the sabbath-day, so as to do no work thereon:
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ بَوَّابَاتِ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُلُوكٌ وَرُؤَسَاءُ مِمَّنْ يَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، رَاكِبِينَ فِي عَرَبَاتٍ وَعَلَى صَهَوَاتِ الْجِيَادِ مَعَ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ، يُوَاكِبُهُمْ سُكَّانُ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتُعْمَرُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِالسُّكَّانِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then shall there enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
| وَيُقْبِلُ النَّاسُ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ حَوْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمِنْ أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَمِنَ السَّهْلِ وَالْجَبَلِ، وَمِنَ النَّقَبِ، حَامِلِينَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ وَتَقْدِمَاتٍ وَبَخُوراً مُعَطَّراً، وَقَرَابِينَ شُكْرٍ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And there shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the environs of Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountain, and from the south, those that bring burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meat-offerings, and frankincense, and those that bring thanksgiving-offerings, unto the house of the Lord.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَمِعُوا لِي لِتُقَدِّسُوا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ، وَثَابَرْتُمْ عَلَى حَمْلِ أَثْقَالٍ فِيهِ لِتُدْخِلُوهَا مِنْ بَوَّابَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَإِنِّي أُضْرِمُ بَوَّابَاتِهَا بِالنَّارِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ قُصُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، ولا تَنْطَفِئُ». | ٢٧ 27 |
But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath-day, and not to bear a burden, and to enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day: then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
