< إرْمِيا 22 >

هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «انْحَدِرْ إِلَى قَصْرِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَأَعْلِنْ هُنَاكَ هَذَا الْقَضَاءَ: ١ 1
Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
اسْمَعْ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا الْمُتَرَبِّعَ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، أَنْتَ وَخُدَّامُكَ وَشَعْبُكَ الْمُجْتَازِينَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ: ٢ 2
And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter by these gates:
أَجْرُوا الْعَدْلَ وَأَنْقِذُوا الْمُغْتَصَبَ مِنْ يَدِ الْمُغْتَصِبِ، وَلا تَجُورُوا عَلَى الْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ، وَلا تَتَعَسَّفُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلا تَسْفِكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ. ٣ 3
Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver him that is laid waste out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
لأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ هَذَا الْكَلامَ فَإِنَّ مُلُوكاً يَتَرَبَّعُونَ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، رَاكِبيِنَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَخُيُولاً يَجْتَازُونَ هُمْ وَخُدَّامُهُمْ وَشَعْبُهُمْ بَوَّابَاتِ هَذَا الْقَصْرِ. ٤ 4
For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ عَصَيْتُمْ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا، فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِنَفْسِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلَ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ إِلَى أَطْلالٍ». ٥ 5
But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
لأَنَّهُ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ قَصْرِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: «أَنْتَ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ كَجِلْعَادَ وَكَرَأْسِ لُبْنَانَ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي سَأَجْعَلُكَ قَفْراً وَمُدُناً مَهْجُورَةً. ٦ 6
For thus saith the LORD to the king’s house of Judah; Thou art Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
سَأُجَنِّدُ عَلَيْكَ مُهْلِكِينَ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِسِلاحِهِمْ فَيَقْطَعُونَ نُخْبَةَ أَرْزِكَ وَيَطْرَحُونَهَا إِلَى النَّارِ. ٧ 7
And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
وَتَعْبُرُ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِرَفِيقِهِ: لِمَاذَا صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ هَكَذَا بِهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ؟ ٨ 8
And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Why hath the LORD done thus to this great city?
فَيُجِيبُونَ: لأَنَّهُمْ نَبَذُوا عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَسَجَدُوا لِلأَوْثَانِ وَعَبَدُوهَا». ٩ 9
Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
لَا تَنُوحُوا عَلَى الْمَيْتِ وَلا تَنْدُبُوهُ، إِنَّمَا ابْكُوا عَلَى الْمَنْفِيِّ الَّذِي لَنْ يَرْجِعَ وَلَنْ يَرَى أَرْضَ مَوْطِنِهِ ١٠ 10
Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep bitterly for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
لأَنَّهُ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ شَلُّومَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الَّذِي تَوَلَّى الْعَرْشَ مَكَانَ أَبِيهِ، وَخَرَجَ مَنْفِيًّا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ: «إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى هُنَا بَعْدُ. ١١ 11
For thus saith the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place; He shall not return there any more:
بَلْ يَمُوتُ فِي مَنْفَاهُ الَّذِي سَبَوْهُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَنْ يَرْجِعَ لِيَرَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ ثَانِيَةً». ١٢ 12
But he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
«وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ وَمَخَادِعَهُ الْعَالِيَةَ عَلَى الْجَوْرِ، الَّذِي يَسْتَخْدِمُ جَارَهُ مَجَّاناً وَلا يُوْفِيهِ أُجْرَةَ عَمَلِهِ، ١٣ 13
Woe to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
الَّذِي يَقُولُ:’سَأَبْنِي لِنَفْسِي بَيْتاً رَحْباً وَغُرَفاً عَالِيةً فَسِيحَةً. وَأَفْتَحُ لَهُ كُوىً وَأُغَشِّيهِ بِأَلْوَاحِ الأَرْزِ وَأَدْهِنُهُ بِأَلْوَانٍ حَمْرَاءَ.‘ ١٤ 14
That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is panelled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
أَتَظُنُّ أَنَّكَ صِرْتَ مَلِكاً لأَنَّكَ بَنَيْتَ بَيْتَكَ مِنَ الأَرْزِ؟ أَمَا أَكَلَ أَبُوكَ وَشَرِبَ وَأَجْرَى عَدْلاً وَحَقّاً، فَتَمَتَّعَ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ؟ ١٥ 15
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
قَدْ قَضَى بِالْعَدْلِ لِلْبَائِسِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ فَأَحْرَزَ خَيْراً. أَلَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ مَعْرِفَتِي؟» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ ١٦ 16
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
«أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَعَيْنَاكَ وَقَلْبُكَ مُتَهَافِتَةٌ عَلَى الرِّبْحِ الْحَرَامِ، وَعَلَى سَفْكِ الدَّمِ الْبَرِيءِ، وَعَلَى الظُّلْمِ وَالاِبْتِزَازِ». ١٧ 17
But thy eyes and thy heart are only for thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا، مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: «لَنْ يَنْدُبَكَ أَحَدٌ قَائِلاً: آهِ يَا أَخِي أَوْ آهِ يَا أُخْتِي، أَوْ يَنْدُبُونَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: آوَّاهُ يَا سَيِّدِي، أَوْ آهِ عَلَى جَلالِهِ. ١٨ 18
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
بَلْ يُدْفَنُ دَفْنَ حِمَارٍ، مَجْرُوراً وَمَطْرُوحاً خَارِجَ بَوَّابَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ». ١٩ 19
He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
«اصْعَدِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ إِلَى لُبْنَانَ وَاصْرُخِي. أَطْلِقِي صَوْتَكِ فِي بَاشَانَ وَأَعْوِلِي مِنْ عَبَارِيمَ لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ مُحِبِّيكِ قَدْ سُحِقُوا. ٢٠ 20
Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passes: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
حَذَّرْتُكِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ عِزِّكِ فَقُلْتِ: لَنْ أَصْغِيَ. أَنْتِ مُتَمَرِّدَةٌ مُنْذُ صِبَاكِ لَا تَسْمَعِينَ لِصَوْتِي. ٢١ 21
I spoke to thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou didst obey not my voice.
سَتَعْصِفُ الرِّيحُ بِكُلِّ رُعَاتِكِ، وَيَذْهَبُ مُحِبُّوكِ إِلَى السَّبْيِ. عِنْدَئِذٍ يَعْتَرِيكِ الْخِزْيُ وَالْعَارُ لِشَرِّكِ. ٢٢ 22
The wind shall eat up all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
يَا سَاكِنَةَ لُبْنَانَ الْمُعَشِّشَةَ فِي الأَرْزِ، لَشَدَّ مَا تَئِنِّينَ عِنْدَمَا تُفَاجِئُكِ الأَوْجَاعُ، فَتَكُونِينَ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ». ٢٣ 23
O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
«حَيٌّ أَنَا» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «لَوْ كَانَ كُنْيَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا خَاتِماً فِي يَدِي الْيُمْنَى لَنَزَعْتُهُ مِنْهَا. ٢٤ 24
As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee from there;
وَأَسْلَمْتُهُ لِطَالِبِي نَفْسِهِ، إِلَى أَيْدِي مَنْ يَفْزَعُ مِنْهُمْ، وَإِلَى قَبْضَةِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَإِلَى أَيْدِي الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٢٥ 25
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
سَأُطَوِّحُ بِهِ وَبِأُمِّهِ الَّتِي حَمَلَتْهُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى، لَمْ يُوْلَدَا فِيهَا، وَهُنَاكَ يَمُوتَانِ. ٢٦ 26
And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
وَلَنْ يَعُودَا قَطُّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَتُوقَانِ إِلَى الرُّجُوعِ إِلَيْهَا». ٢٧ 27
But to the land where they desire to return, there shall they not return.
هَذَا الرَّجُلُ كُنْيَاهُو وَعَاءٌ مَنْبُوذٌ مُحَطَّمٌ، وَإِنَاءٌ لَا يَحْفِلُ بِهِ أَحَدٌ. لِمَاذَا طُوِّحَ بِهِ وَبِأَبْنَائِهِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهَا؟ ٢٨ 28
Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel in which is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
يَا أَرْضُ! يَا أَرْضُ! يَا أَرْضُ! اسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ: ٢٩ 29
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
«سَجِّلُوا أَنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ عَقِيمٌ، رَجُلٌ لَنْ يُفْلِحَ فِي حَيَاتِهِ، وَلَنْ يَنْجَحَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ فِي الْجُلُوسِ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ وَتَوَلِّي مُلْكِ يَهُوذَا». ٣٠ 30
Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
