إرْمِيا 2
| وَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: | ١ 1 |
Moreover, the woorde of the Lord came vnto 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 |
Goe, and crie in the eares of Ierusalem, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, I remember thee, with the kindenes of thy youth and the loue of thy marriage, when thou wentest after me in the wildernes in a lande that was not sowen.
| كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ مُقَدَّساً لِلرَّبِّ وَبَاكُورَةَ غَلَّتِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَدِي عَلَيْهِ، يَرْتَكِبُ إِثْماً وَيَحُلُّ بِهِ شَرٌّ. | ٣ 3 |
Israel was as a thing halowed vnto the Lord, and his first fruits: all they that eat it, shall offend: euil shall come vpon them, saith the Lord.
| اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَا جَمِيعَ عَشَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٤ 4 |
Heare ye the word of the Lord, O house of Iaakob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
| أَيُّ خَطَإٍ وَجَدَهُ فِيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ حَتَّى نَبَذُونِي وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَ الْبَاطِلِ وَصَارُوا بَاطِلاً؟ | ٥ 5 |
Thus sayeth the Lord, What iniquitie haue your fathers founde in mee, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?
| 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 |
For they saide not, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the lande of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a desert, and waste land, through a drie land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
| 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 plentifull countrey, to eat the fruit thereof, and the commodities of the same: but when yee entred, yee defiled my land, and made mine 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 the Lord? and they that should minister the Lawe, knewe me not: the pastours also offended against me, and the Prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profite.
| لِذَلِكَ أُخَاصِمُكُمْ وَأُخَاصِمُ أَحْفَادَكُمْ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٩ 9 |
Wherefore I wil yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will pleade with your childrens children.
| فَاعْبُرُوا إِلَى جَزِيرَةِ قُبْرُصَ وَالسَّوَاحِلِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَى قِيدَارَ، وَتَفَحَّصُوا جَيِّداً، وَانْظُرُوا: هَلْ جَرَى مِثْلُ هَذَا؟ | ١٠ 10 |
For goe ye to the yles of Chittim, and beholde, and sende vnto Kedar. and take diligent heede, and see whether there be such things.
| هَلِ اسْتَبْدَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ آلِهَتَهَا مَعَ أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ حَقّاً آلِهَةً؟ أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَاسْتَبْدَلَ مَجْدَهُ بِمَا لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people haue chaged their glorie, for that which doeth not profite.
| فَاذْهَلِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وَارْتَجِفِي وَارْتَعِدِي جِدّاً. | ١٢ 12 |
O yee heauens, be astonied at this: bee afraid and vtterly confounded, sayeth the Lord.
| قَدِ ارْتَكَبَ شَعْبِي شَرَّيْنِ: نَبَذُونِي أَنَا يَنْبُوعَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَحَفَرُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ آبَاراً مُشَقَّقَةً لَا تَضْبُطُ مَاءً. | ١٣ 13 |
For my people haue committed two euils: they haue forsaken mee the fountaine of liuing waters, to digge them pittes, euen broken pittes, that can holde no water.
| هَلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَبْدٌ، أَمْ وَلِيدُ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ؟ فَمَا بَالُهُ أَضْحَى نَهْباً؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Is Israel a seruaunt, or is hee borne in the house? why then is he spoiled?
| قَدْ زَأَرَتِ الأُسُودُ عَلَيْهِ زَئِيراً مُدَوِّياً، وَجَعَلَتْ أَرْضَهُ خَرِبَةً. أُحْرِقَتْ مُدُنُهُ فَأَصْبَحَتْ مَهْجُورَةً. | ١٥ 15 |
The lions roared vpon him and yelled, and they haue made his land waste: his cities are burnt without an inhabitant.
| كَذَلِكَ رِجَالُ مَمْفِيسَ وَتَحْفَنِيسَ حَطَّمُوا تَاجَ رَأْسِكِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken thine head.
| أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي جَلَبْتِ هَذَا الدَّمَارَ عَلَى نَفْسِكِ، لأَنَّكِ تَنَاسَيْتِ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكِ حِينَ قَادَكِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Hast not thou procured this vnto thy selfe, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
| وَالآنَ مَا بَالُكِ تَتَوَجَّهِينَ صَوْبَ مِصْرَ لِشُرْبِ مِيَاهِ شِيحُورَ؟ وَمَا بَالُكِ تَقْصِدِينَ إِلَى أَشُورَ لِشُرْبِ مِيَاهِ الْفُرَاتِ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
And what hast thou now to do in the way of Egypt? to drinke the water of Nilus? or what makest thou in the way of Asshur? to drinke the water of the Riuer?
| إِنَّ شَرَّكِ يُقَرِّعُكِ، وَارتِدَادُكِ يُؤَنِّبُكِ. فَتَبَيَّنِي وَاعْلَمِي أَنَّ نَبْذَكِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكِ شَرٌّ وَمَرَارَةٌ، وَأَنَّكِ تَجَرَّدْتِ مِنْ مَهَابَتِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Thine owne wickednes shall correct thee, and thy turnings backe shall reprooue thee: know therefore and beholde, that it is an euil thing, and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, sayeth the Lord God of hostes.
| 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 olde time I haue broken thy yoke, and burst thy bondes, and thou saidest, I will no more transgresse, but like an harlot thou runnest about vpon al hie hilles, and vnder all greene trees.
| وَأَنَا غَرَسْتُكِ كَكَرْمَةٍ مُخْتَارَةٍ، وَمِنْ بُذُورٍ سَلِيمَةٍ كَامِلَةٍ، فَكَيْفَ تَحَوَّلْتِ إِلَى كَرْمَةٍ فَاسِدَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Yet I had planted thee, a noble vine, whose plants were all natural: howe then art thou turned vnto me into the plants of a strange vine?
| وَإِنِ اغْتَسَلْتِ بِالنَّطْرُونِ، وَأَكْثَرْتِ مِنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ الإِشْنَانِ (الصَّابُونِ)، فَإِنَّ لَطْخَةَ إِثْمِكِ تَظَلُّ مَاثِلَةً أَمَامِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquitie is marked before me, sayeth the Lord God.
| 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 |
Howe canst thou say, I am not polluted, neither haue I followed Baalim? beholde thy waies in the valley, and know, what thou hast done: thou art like a swift dromedarie, that runneth by his waies.
| 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 |
And as a wilde asse, vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde by occasion at her pleasure: who can turne her backe? all they that seeke her, will not wearie themselues, but wil finde her in her moneth.
| صُونِي قَدَمَكِ مِنَ الْحَفَاءِ، وَحَلْقَكِ مِنَ الظَّمَأ، لَكِنَّكِ قُلْتِ: لَا جَدْوَى مِنَ الأَمْرِ، فَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً، وَسَأَسْعَى وَرَاءَهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
Keepe thou thy feete from barenes, and thy throte from thirst: but thou saidest desperately, No, for I haue loued strangers, and them will I follow.
| وَكَمَا يَعْتَرِي الْخِزْيُ السَّارِقَ حِينَ يُقْبَضُ عَلَيْهِ، كَذَلِكَ اعْتَرَى الْخِزْيُ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ: هُمْ وَمُلُوكَهُمْ، وَرُؤَسَاءَهُمْ، وَكَهَنَتَهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاءَهُمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
As the theefe is ashamed, when he is foud, so is the house of Israel 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 tree, Thou art my father, and to a stone, Thou hast begotten me: for they haue turned their back vnto me, and not their face: but in ye time of their troble they wil say, Arise, and help vs.
| 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 |
But where are thy gods, that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can helpe thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the nomber of thy cities, are thy gods, O Iudah.
| لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي وَأَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ عَلَيَّ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Wherefore wil ye pleade with me? ye all haue rebelled against me, sayeth the Lord.
| عَبَثاً عَاقَبْتُ بَنِيكُمْ، فَهُمْ أَبَوْا التَّقْوِيمَ وَافْتَرَسَتْ سُيُوفُكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ كَاسِرٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
I haue smitten your children in vaine, they receiued no correction: your owne sworde hath deuoured your Prophets like a destroying lyon.
| 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, take heede to the worde of the Lord: haue I bene as a wildernesse vnto Israel? or a lande of darkenesse? Wherefore sayeth my people then, We are lordes, we will come no more vnto thee?
| هَلْ تَنْسَى عَذْرَاءُ زِينَتَهَا؟ أَوْ عَرُوسٌ حُلِيَّ زَفَافِهَا؟ لَكِنَّ شَعْبِي نَسِيَنِي أَيَّاماً لَا تُحْصَى. | ٣٢ 32 |
Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me, daies without number.
| لَكَمْ بَرَعْتُمْ فِي تَمْهِيدِ طُرُقِكُمْ طَلَباً لِلشَّهَوَاتِ، فَعَلَّمْتُمْ أَسَالِيبَكُمْ حَتَّى لِلشِّرِّيرَاتِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Why doest thou prepare thy way, to seeke amitie? euen therefore will I teach thee, that thy waies are wickednesse.
| فَوُجِدَ فِي أَذْيَالِكُمْ أَيْضاً دَمُ الْمَسَاكِينِ الأَبْرِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ تَقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ مُتَلَبِّسِينَ بِجَرِيمَةِ الاقْتِحَامِ. وَمَعَ كُلِّ ذَلِكَ | ٣٤ 34 |
Also in thy wings is founde the bloud of the soules of ye poore innocents: I haue not found it in holes, but vpon all these places.
| تَقُولُونَ: نَحْنُ أَبْرِيَاءُ، فَلِذَلِكَ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَ عَنَّا غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَأَدِينُكُمْ لِقَوْلِكُمْ إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُخْطِئْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Yet thou saiest, Because I am giltles, surely his wrath shall turne from mee: beholde, I will enter with thee into iudgement, because thou saiest, I haue not sinned.
| لِمَاذَا تَتَهَافَتُونَ عَلَى تَغْيِيرِ اتِّجَاهِكُمْ؟ سَتُلْحِقُ بِكُمْ مِصْرُ الْخِزْيَ كَمَا أَلْحَقَهُ بِكُمُ الأَشُورِيُّونَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Why runnest thou about so much to change thy waies? for thou shalt be confounded of Egypt, as thou art confounded of Asshur.
| مِنْ هُنَاكَ تَخْرُجُونَ أَيْضاً وَأَيْدِيكُمْ تُغَطِّي رُؤُوسَكُمْ خَجَلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ رَفَضَ الَّذِينَ وَثِقْتُمْ بِهِمْ، وَلَنْ يُصِيبَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ نَجَاحٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
