إرْمِيا 2
| وَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: | ١ 1 |
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
| «امْضِ وَأَعْلِنْ فِي مَسَامِعِ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ هَاتِفاً: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: قَدْ ذَكَرْتُ لَكِ وَلاءَ صِبَاكِ، وَمَحَبَّتَكِ كَعَرُوسٍ لِي، وَكَيْفَ تَبِعْتِنِي فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي أَرْضٍ لَا زَرْعَ فِيهَا. | ٢ 2 |
Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.
| كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ مُقَدَّساً لِلرَّبِّ وَبَاكُورَةَ غَلَّتِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَدِي عَلَيْهِ، يَرْتَكِبُ إِثْماً وَيَحُلُّ بِهِ شَرٌّ. | ٣ 3 |
Israel was holiness unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him are guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah.
| اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَا جَمِيعَ عَشَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٤ 4 |
Hear the word of Jehovah, house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
| أَيُّ خَطَإٍ وَجَدَهُ فِيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ حَتَّى نَبَذُونِي وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَ الْبَاطِلِ وَصَارُوا بَاطِلاً؟ | ٥ 5 |
Thus saith Jehovah: What injustice have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and become vain?
| لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا: أَيْنَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَقَادَنَا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي أَرْضِ مَتَاهَاتٍ وَحُفَرٍ، فِي أَرْضِ قَفْرٍ جَدْبَاءَ، فِي أَرْضِ ظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مَا اجْتَازَهَا أَحَدٌ وَلا أَقَامَ فِيهَا بَشَرٌ؟ | ٦ 6 |
And they said not, Where is Jehovah, that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and of pits, in a land of drought and of the shadow of death, in a land that no one passeth through, and where no man dwelleth?
| وَأَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ خَيْرَاتٍ لِتَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِأَكْلِ ثِمَارِهَا وَطَيِّبَاتِهَا. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ عِنْدَمَا دَخَلْتُمُوهَا نَجَّسْتُمْ أَرْضِي وَجَعَلْتُمْ مِيَراثِي رِجْساً. | ٧ 7 |
And I brought you into a fruitful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof; and ye entered and defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
| إِنَّ الْكَهَنَةَ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا: أَيْنَ الرَّبُّ؟ وَأَهْلَ الشَّرِيعَةِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُونِي، وَحُكَّامَ الشَّعْبِ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءَ تَنَبَّأُوا بِتَأْثِيرِ بَعْلٍ وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَ مَا لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ. | ٨ 8 |
The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handled the law knew me not; and the shepherds transgressed against me; and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not profit.
| لِذَلِكَ أُخَاصِمُكُمْ وَأُخَاصِمُ أَحْفَادَكُمْ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore will I yet plead with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children's children will I plead.
| فَاعْبُرُوا إِلَى جَزِيرَةِ قُبْرُصَ وَالسَّوَاحِلِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَى قِيدَارَ، وَتَفَحَّصُوا جَيِّداً، وَانْظُرُوا: هَلْ جَرَى مِثْلُ هَذَا؟ | ١٠ 10 |
For pass over to the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there have been such a thing.
| هَلِ اسْتَبْدَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ آلِهَتَهَا مَعَ أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ حَقّاً آلِهَةً؟ أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَاسْتَبْدَلَ مَجْدَهُ بِمَا لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
Hath a nation changed [its] gods? and they are no gods; — but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
| فَاذْهَلِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وَارْتَجِفِي وَارْتَعِدِي جِدّاً. | ١٢ 12 |
Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and shudder; be amazed very much, saith Jehovah.
| قَدِ ارْتَكَبَ شَعْبِي شَرَّيْنِ: نَبَذُونِي أَنَا يَنْبُوعَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَحَفَرُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ آبَاراً مُشَقَّقَةً لَا تَضْبُطُ مَاءً. | ١٣ 13 |
For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, to hew them out cisterns, broken cisterns that hold no water.
| هَلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَبْدٌ، أَمْ وَلِيدُ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ؟ فَمَا بَالُهُ أَضْحَى نَهْباً؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Is Israel a bondman? Is he a home-born [slave]? Why is he become a spoil?
| قَدْ زَأَرَتِ الأُسُودُ عَلَيْهِ زَئِيراً مُدَوِّياً، وَجَعَلَتْ أَرْضَهُ خَرِبَةً. أُحْرِقَتْ مُدُنُهُ فَأَصْبَحَتْ مَهْجُورَةً. | ١٥ 15 |
The young lions roared against him, they gave forth their voice, and they made his land desolate: his cities are burned, without inhabitant.
| كَذَلِكَ رِجَالُ مَمْفِيسَ وَتَحْفَنِيسَ حَطَّمُوا تَاجَ رَأْسِكِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Even the children of Noph and Tahapanes have fed on the crown of thy head.
| أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي جَلَبْتِ هَذَا الدَّمَارَ عَلَى نَفْسِكِ، لأَنَّكِ تَنَاسَيْتِ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكِ حِينَ قَادَكِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, at the time he was leading thee in the way?
| وَالآنَ مَا بَالُكِ تَتَوَجَّهِينَ صَوْبَ مِصْرَ لِشُرْبِ مِيَاهِ شِيحُورَ؟ وَمَا بَالُكِ تَقْصِدِينَ إِلَى أَشُورَ لِشُرْبِ مِيَاهِ الْفُرَاتِ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
And now, what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? And what hast thou to do with the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
| إِنَّ شَرَّكِ يُقَرِّعُكِ، وَارتِدَادُكِ يُؤَنِّبُكِ. فَتَبَيَّنِي وَاعْلَمِي أَنَّ نَبْذَكِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكِ شَرٌّ وَمَرَارَةٌ، وَأَنَّكِ تَجَرَّدْتِ مِنْ مَهَابَتِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Thine own wickedness chastiseth thee, and thy backslidings reprove thee: know then and see that it is an evil thing and bitter that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
| قَدْ حَطَّمْتِ نِيرَكِ مِنْ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ، وَقَطَعْتِ قُيُودَكِ وَقُلْتِ: لَنْ أَتَعَبَّدَ لَكَ، وَصِرْتِ تَضْطَجِعِينَ كَزَانِيَةٍ فَوْقَ كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ (أَيْ عَبَدْتِ الأَوْثَانَ). | ٢٠ 20 |
For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, [and] burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not serve. For upon every high hill, and under every green tree, thou bowest down, playing the harlot.
| وَأَنَا غَرَسْتُكِ كَكَرْمَةٍ مُخْتَارَةٍ، وَمِنْ بُذُورٍ سَلِيمَةٍ كَامِلَةٍ، فَكَيْفَ تَحَوَّلْتِ إِلَى كَرْمَةٍ فَاسِدَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
And I, — I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then art thou turned into the degenerate shoots of a strange vine unto me?
| وَإِنِ اغْتَسَلْتِ بِالنَّطْرُونِ، وَأَكْثَرْتِ مِنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ الإِشْنَانِ (الصَّابُونِ)، فَإِنَّ لَطْخَةَ إِثْمِكِ تَظَلُّ مَاثِلَةً أَمَامِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much potash, thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
| كَيْفَ تَقُولِينَ: لَمْ أَتَدَنَّسْ وَلَمْ أَذْهَبْ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِ؟ تَأَمَّلِي فِي طَرِيقِكِ فِي وَادِي هِنُّومَ، وَاعْرِفِي مَا ارْتَكَبْتِ أَيَّتُهَا النَّاقَةُ الْجَامِحَةُ الْهَائِمَةُ فِي طُرُقِهَا بَحْثاً عَنْ جَمَلٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
How sayest thou, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baals? See thy way in the valley, acknowledge what thou hast done — a swift dromedary traversing her ways!
| أَنْتِ أَتَانُ فَرَا اعْتَادَتْ حَيَاةَ الْقَفْرِ، تَتَنَسَّمُ فِي شَهْوَتِهَا الْهَوَاءَ لَعَلَّهَا تَظْفَرُ بِرَائِحَةِ حِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ. وَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟ لَا يَعْيَا طَالِبُوهَا لأَنَّهُمْ يَجِدُونَهَا حَاضِرَةً فِي مَوْسِمِ الْتَّزَاوُجِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
— a wild ass, used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire! In her ardour, who shall turn her away? All they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
| صُونِي قَدَمَكِ مِنَ الْحَفَاءِ، وَحَلْقَكِ مِنَ الظَّمَأ، لَكِنَّكِ قُلْتِ: لَا جَدْوَى مِنَ الأَمْرِ، فَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً، وَسَأَسْعَى وَرَاءَهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst, There is no hope; no, for I love strangers, and after them will I go.
| وَكَمَا يَعْتَرِي الْخِزْيُ السَّارِقَ حِينَ يُقْبَضُ عَلَيْهِ، كَذَلِكَ اعْتَرَى الْخِزْيُ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ: هُمْ وَمُلُوكَهُمْ، وَرُؤَسَاءَهُمْ، وَكَهَنَتَهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاءَهُمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall the house of Israel be ashamed — they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets —
| إِذْ قَالُوا لِنُصُبِ الْخَشَبِ: أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلْحَجَرِ الْمَنْحُوتِ صَنَماً: أَنْتَ أَنْجَبْتَنِي. وَوَلَّوْا أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ وُجُوهَهُمْ نَحْوِي، وَفِي وَقْتِ بَلِيَّتِهِمِ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِي قَائِلِينَ: قُمْ وَأَنْقِذْنَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth; for they have turned the back unto me, and not the face; and in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us!
| فَأَيْنَ إِذاً الآلِهَةُ الَّتِي صَنَعْتُمُوهَا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ؟ لِتَقُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ قَادِرَةً عَلَى إِنْقَاذِكُمْ فِي وَقْتِ ضِيقِكُمْ، لأَنَّ عَدَدَ آلِهَتِكُمْ يَا أَبْنَاءَ يَهُوذَا صَارَ كَعَدَدِ مُدُنِكُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Where then are thy gods that thou hast made for thyself? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for as the number of thy cities, are thy gods, O Judah.
| لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي وَأَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ عَلَيَّ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Wherefore would ye contend with me? Ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah.
| عَبَثاً عَاقَبْتُ بَنِيكُمْ، فَهُمْ أَبَوْا التَّقْوِيمَ وَافْتَرَسَتْ سُيُوفُكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ كَاسِرٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
In vain have I smitten your children: they received no correction. Your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
| وَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ، اسْمَعْ قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ: أَكُنْتُ صَحْرَاءَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ أَرْضَ ظَلامٍ دَامِسٍ؟ إِذاً لِمَاذَا يَقُولُ شَعْبِي: نَحْنُ طَلِيقُونَ نَسْعَى حَيْثُ شِئْنَا، وَلَنْ نُقْبِلَ إِلَيْكَ بَعْدُ؟ | ٣١ 31 |
O generation, mark ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel, or a land of thick darkness? Wherefore say my people, We have dominion; we will come no more unto thee?
| هَلْ تَنْسَى عَذْرَاءُ زِينَتَهَا؟ أَوْ عَرُوسٌ حُلِيَّ زَفَافِهَا؟ لَكِنَّ شَعْبِي نَسِيَنِي أَيَّاماً لَا تُحْصَى. | ٣٢ 32 |
Doth a virgin forget her ornaments, a bride her attire? But my people have forgotten me days without number.
| لَكَمْ بَرَعْتُمْ فِي تَمْهِيدِ طُرُقِكُمْ طَلَباً لِلشَّهَوَاتِ، فَعَلَّمْتُمْ أَسَالِيبَكُمْ حَتَّى لِلشِّرِّيرَاتِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
How dost thou trim thy way to seek love! Therefore hast thou also accustomed thy ways to wickedness.
| فَوُجِدَ فِي أَذْيَالِكُمْ أَيْضاً دَمُ الْمَسَاكِينِ الأَبْرِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ تَقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ مُتَلَبِّسِينَ بِجَرِيمَةِ الاقْتِحَامِ. وَمَعَ كُلِّ ذَلِكَ | ٣٤ 34 |
Yea, in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor, whom thou didst not encounter breaking in, but [it is found] upon all these.
| تَقُولُونَ: نَحْنُ أَبْرِيَاءُ، فَلِذَلِكَ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَ عَنَّا غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَأَدِينُكُمْ لِقَوْلِكُمْ إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُخْطِئْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And thou sayest, Indeed I am innocent; his anger will turn from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
| لِمَاذَا تَتَهَافَتُونَ عَلَى تَغْيِيرِ اتِّجَاهِكُمْ؟ سَتُلْحِقُ بِكُمْ مِصْرُ الْخِزْيَ كَمَا أَلْحَقَهُ بِكُمُ الأَشُورِيُّونَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Why dost thou gad about so much, and change thy way? Thou shalt also be brought to shame by Egypt, as thou wast brought to shame by Assyria.
| مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَخْرُجُونَ أَيْضاً وَأَيْدِيكُمْ تُغَطِّي رُؤُوسَكُمْ خَجَلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ رَفَضَ الَّذِينَ وَثِقْتُمْ بِهِمْ، وَلَنْ يُصِيبَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ نَجَاحٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Thou shalt indeed go forth from her with thy hands upon thy head; for Jehovah hath rejected those thou confidest in, and thou shalt not prosper by them.
