إرْمِيا 23
| يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «وَيْلٌ لِلرُّعَاةِ الَّذِينَ يُبِيدُونَ وَيُبَدِّدُونَ غَنَمَ رَعِيَّتِي (أَيْ شَعْبِي)». | ١ 1 |
“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the LORD.
| لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الرُّعَاةِ الَّذِينَ يَرْعَوْنَ شَعْبِي: «لَقَدْ بَدَّدْتُمْ غَنَمِي (أَيْ شَعْبِي) وَطَرَدْتُمُوهَا، وَلَمْ تَتَعَهَّدُوهَا. فَهَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُكُمْ عَلَى شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says the LORD.
| وَأَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَ غَنَمِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي أَجْلَيْتُهَا إِلَيْهَا، وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى مَرَاعِيهَا فَتَنْمُو وَتَتَكَاثَرُ، | ٣ 3 |
“I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
| وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا رُعَاةً يَتَعَهَّدُونَهَا فَلا يَعْتَرِيهَا خَوْفٌ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَلا تَرْتَعِدُ وَلا تَضِلُّ. | ٤ 4 |
I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says the LORD.
| هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ أُقِيمُ فِيهَا لِدَاوُدَ ذُرِّيَّةَ بِرٍّ، مَلِكاً يَسُودُ بِحِكْمَةٍ، وَيُجْرِي فِي الأَرْضِ عَدْلاً وَحَقّاً. | ٥ 5 |
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
| فِي عَهْدِهِ يَتِمُّ خَلاصُ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، وَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ آمِناً. أَمَّا الاسْمُ الَّذِي سَيُدْعَى بِهِ فَهُوَ: الرَّبُّ بِرُّنَا. | ٦ 6 |
In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: The LORD our righteousness.
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ لَا يُرَدِّدُ فِيهَا النَّاسُ مِنْ بَعْدُ: حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. | ٧ 7 |
“Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that they will no more say, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
| بَلْ يَقُولُونَ: حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ ذُرِّيَّةَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَتَى بِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ وَمِنْ كَافَّةِ الدِّيَارِ الَّتِي أَجْلاهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ». | ٨ 8 |
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
| ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ إِرْمِيَا عَنِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الكَذَبَةِ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ قَلْبِي مُنْكَسِرٌ فِي دَاخِلِي، وَجَمِيعَ عِظَامِي تَرْتَجِفُ، فَأَنَا، بِتَأْثِيرِ الرَّبِّ وَبِفِعْلِ كَلامِهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ كَرَجُلٍ سَكْرَانَ غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْخَمْرُ | ٩ 9 |
Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.
| لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدِ اكْتَظَّتْ بِالْفَاسِقِينَ، وَنَاحَتْ مِنْ عَاقِبَةِ لَعْنَةِ اللهِ، فَجَفَّتْ مَرَاعِي الْحُقُولِ لأَنَّ مَسَاعِيَهُمْ بَاتَتْ شِرِّيرَةً، وَجَبَرُوتَهُمْ مُسَخَّرٌ لِلْبَاطِلِ». | ١٠ 10 |
“For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «النَّبِيُّ وَالْكَاهِنُ كَافِرَانِ، وَفِي بَيْتِي وَجَدْتُ شَرَّهُمَا. | ١١ 11 |
for both prophet and priest are profane. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says the LORD.
| لِذَلِكَ يُضْحِي طَرِيقُهُمَا مَزَالِقَ لَهُمَا، تُفْضِي بِهِمَا إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ الَّتِي يُطْرَدُونَ إِلَيْهَا، وَيَهْوِيانَ فِيهَا لأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمَا شَرّاً فِي سَنَةِ عِقَابِهِمَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
| فِي أَوْسَاطِ أَنْبِيَاءِ السَّامِرَةِ شَهِدْتُ أُمُوراً كَرِيهَةً، إِذْ تَنَبَّأُوا بِاسْمِ الْبَعْلِ، وَأَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
“I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
| وَفِي أَوْسَاطِ أَنْبِيَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأَيْتُ أُمُوراً مَهُولَةً: يَرْتَكِبُونَ الْفِسْقَ، وَيَسْلُكُونَ فِي الأَكَاذِيبِ، يُشَدِّدُونَ أَيْدِي فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ لِئَلَّا يَتُوبَ أَحَدٌ عَنْ شَرِّهِ. صَارُوا جَمِيعاً كَسُكَّانِ سَدُومَ وَأَصْبَحَ أَهْلُهَا كَأَهْلِ عَمُورَةَ». | ١٤ 14 |
In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
| لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ عَنِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ: «هَا أَنَا أُطْعِمُهُمْ أَفْسَنْتِيناً وَأَسْقِيهِمْ مَاءً مَسْمُوماً، لأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ شَاعَ الْكُفْرُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ الأَرْضِ». | ١٥ 15 |
Therefore the LORD of Hosts says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
| «لا تَسْمَعُوا لأَقْوَالِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ وَيَخْدَعُونَكُمْ بِالأَوْهَامِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِرُؤَى مُخَيَّلاتِهِمْ، وَلا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِمَا أَوْحَى بِهِ فَمِي. | ١٦ 16 |
The LORD of Hosts says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
| قَائِلِينَ بِإِصْرَارٍ لِمَنْ يَحْتَقِرُونَنِي:’قَدْ أَعْلَنَ الرَّبُّ أَنَّ السَّلامَ يَسُودُكُمْ‘وَيُرَدِّدُونَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَجْرِي وَرَاءَ أَهْوَاءِ قَلْبِهِ:’لَنْ يُصِيبَكُمْ ضَرُّ.‘ | ١٧ 17 |
They say continually to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
| مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ مَثَلَ فِي مَجْلِسِ الرَّبِّ وَرَأَى وَأَنْصَتَ لِكَلِمَتِهِ، وَلا مَنْ أَصْغَى لِقَوْلِهِ وَأَطَاعَهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
| هَا عَاصِفَةُ سُخْطِ الرَّبِّ قَدِ انْطَلَقَتْ، وَزَوْبَعَةٌ هَوْجَاءُ قَدْ ثَارَتْ لِتَجْتَاحَ رُؤُوسَ الأَشْرَارِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head of the wicked.
| فَغَضَبُ الرَّبِّ لَنْ يَرْتَدَّ حَتَّى يُنْجِزَ مَقَاصِدَ قَلْبِهِ الَّتِي سَتُدْرِكُونَهَا بِوُضُوحٍ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The LORD’s anger will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
| إِنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْ هَؤُلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءَ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ انْطَلَقُوا رَاكِضِينَ، وَلَمْ أُوْحِ لَهُمْ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ. | ٢١ 21 |
I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.
| لَوْ مَثَلُوا حَقّاً فِي مَجْلِسِي لَبَلَّغُوا كَلامِي لِشَعْبِي، وَلَكَانُوا رَدُّوهُمْ عَنْ مَسَاوِئِهِمْ وَعَنْ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
| أَلَعَلِّي أَرَى فَقَطْ مَا يَجْرِي عَنْ قُربٍ، وَلَسْتُ إِلَهاً يَرْقُبُ مَا يَجْرِي عَنْ بُعْدٍ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
“Am I a God at hand,” says the LORD, “and not a God afar off?
| أَيُمْكِنُ لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتَوَارَى فِي أَمَاكِنَ خَفِيَّةٍ فَلا أَرَاهُ؟ أَمَا أَمْلأُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says the LORD. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD.
| قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ الْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ بِاسْمِي زُوراً قَائِلِينَ:’قَدْ حَلِمْتُ، قَدْ حَلِمْتُ.‘ | ٢٥ 25 |
“I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
| إِلَى مَتَى يَظَلُّ هَذَا الْخِدَاعُ مَكْنُوناً فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ زُوراً؟ إِنَّهُمْ حَقّاً أَنْبِيَاءُ خِدَاعٍ، يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بَأَوْهَامِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
| فَيُنَسُّونَ شَعْبِي اسْمِي بِمَا يَقُصُّهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ مِنْ أَحْلامِهِ، كَمَا نَسِيَ آبَاؤُهُمُ اسْمِي لأَجْلِ وَثَنِ الْبَعْلِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbour, as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.
| فَلْيَقُصَّ النَّبِيُّ الْحَالِمُ حُلْمَهُ. وَلَكِنْ مَنْ لَدَيْهِ كَلِمَتِي فَلْيُعْلِنْهَا بِالْحَقِّ، إِذْ مَاذَا يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ التِّبْنِ وَالْقَمْحِ؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says the LORD.
| أَلَيْسَتْ كَلِمَتِي كَالنَّارِ، وَكَالْمِطْرَقَةِ الَّتِي تُحَطِّمُ الصُّخُورَ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
“Isn’t my word like fire?” says the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أُقَاوِمُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءَ الَّذِينَ يَنْتَحِلُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ كَلامَ الآخَرِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
“Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who each steal my words from his neighbour.
| وَأُقَاوِمُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ الَّذِينَ يُسَخِّرُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ:’الرَّبُّ يَقُولُ هَذَا.‘ | ٣١ 31 |
Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘He says.’
| هَا أَنَا أُقَاوِمُ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ بِأَحْلامٍ كَاذِبَةٍ وَيَقُصُّونَهَا مُضِلِّينَ شَعْبِي بِأَكَاذِيبِهِمْ وَاسْتِخْفَافِهِمْ، مَعَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ وَلَمْ أُكَلِّفْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ. وَلا جَدْوَى مِنْهُمْ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ». | ٣٢ 32 |
Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says the LORD, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says the LORD.
| «إِذَا سَأَلَكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ أَوْ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ كَاهِنٌ:’مَا هُوَ وَحْيُ قَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ؟‘فَأَجِبْهُمْ:’أَنْتُمْ وَحْيُ قَضَائِهِ. وَسَأَطْرَحُكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.‘ | ٣٣ 33 |
“When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from the LORD?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says the LORD.’
| أَمَّا النَّبِيُّ أَوِ الْكَاهِنُ أَوْ أَيُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ يَدَّعِي قَائِلاً:’هَذَا وَحْيُ الرَّبِّ‘فَإِنِّي سَأُعَاقِبُهُ مَعَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ I will even punish that man and his household.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يُوَاظِبُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى الْقَوْلِ لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَكُلُّ جَارٍ لِجَارِهِ:’مَا هُوَ جَوَابُ الرَّبِّ؟‘أَوْ’بِمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ؟‘ | ٣٥ 35 |
You will say everyone to his neighbour, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘What has the LORD said?’
| أَمَّا ادِّعَاءُ وَحْيِ الرَّبِّ فَلا تَذْكُرُوهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ كَلِمَةَ الْمَرْءِ تَغْدُو وَحْيَ قَضَائِهِ، إِذْ قَدْ حَرَّفْتُمْ كَلامَ الإِلَهِ الْحَيِّ، الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، إِلَهِنَا. | ٣٦ 36 |
You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Hosts, our God.
| لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا تَسْأَلُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ:’بِمَاذَا أَجَابَ الرَّبُّ؟ وَبِمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ؟‘ | ٣٧ 37 |
You will say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
| فَإِنِ ادَّعَيْتُمْ وَحْيَ قَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ، فَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمُ ادَّعَيْتُمْ وَحْيَ قَضَائِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ حَظَرْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَائِلاً:’لَا تَقُولُوا هَذَا وَحْيُ قَضَائِهِ‘ | ٣٨ 38 |
Although you say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ therefore the LORD says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from the LORD,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from the LORD,”
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أَنْسَاكُمْ تَمَاماً، وَأَطْرُدُكُمْ مِنْ مَحْضَرِي أَنْتُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ وَلِآبَائِكُمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.
| وَأُلْحِقُ بِكُمْ عَاراً أَبَدِيًّا وَخِزْياً لَا يُنْسَى». | ٤٠ 40 |
I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’”
