إرْمِيا 26
| وَفِي بِدَايَةِ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh:
| هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «قِفْ فِي سَاحَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَبَلِّغْ كُلَّ أَهْلِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْقَادِمِينَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ بِجَمِيعِ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تُخَاطِبَهُمْ بِهِ. وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَحْذِفَ كَلِمَةً. | ٢ 2 |
“Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.
| لَعَلَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَيَرْجِعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الأَثِيمِ، فَأَمْتَنِعَ عَنِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أُوْقِعَهُ بِهِمْ لِسُوءِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ». | ٣ 3 |
It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’”
| خَاطِبْهُمْ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنْ لَمْ تُطِيعُونِي فَتَسْلُكُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِي الَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ، | ٤ 4 |
You shall tell them, “Yahweh says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you,
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِتَحْذِيرَاتِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِياءِ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَلَمْ تُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِمْ، | ٥ 5 |
to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them—but you have not listened—
| فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ نَظِيرَ شِيلُوهَ، وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ لَعْنَةً لِجَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ». | ٦ 6 |
then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’”
| فَسَمِعَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِياءُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ إِرْمِيَا يُرَدِّدُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٧ 7 |
The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in Yahweh’s house.
| فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنَ الإِدْلاءِ بِكُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يُخَاطِبَ بِهِ الشَّعْبَ، قَبَضَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ تَمُوتَ. | ٨ 8 |
When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die!
| لِمَاذَا تَنَبَّأْتَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ مَصِيرَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ سَيَكُونُ كَمَصِيرِ شِيلُوهَ، وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ تَصِيرُ خِرَباً مَهْجُورَةً؟». وَأَحَاطَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ بِإِرْمِيَا فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٩ 9 |
Why have you prophesied in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in Yahweh’s house.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا، أَقْبَلُوا مِنْ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَجَلَسُوا فِي مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْجَدِيدَةِ، | ١٠ 10 |
When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to Yahweh’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house.
| ثُمَّ خَاطَبَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا وَسَائِرَ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الرَّجُلُ يَسْتَحِقُّ حُكْمَ الْمَوْتِ. لأَنَّهُ تَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِالدَّمَارِ كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِآذَانِكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِجَمِيعِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «الرَّبُّ قَدْ بَعَثَنِي لأَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِكُلِّ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
| فَالآنَ قَوِّمُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، وَأَطِيعُوا صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَيَمْتَنِعَ عَنِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي قَضَى بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey Yahweh your God’s voice; then Yahweh will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ. اصْنَعُوا بِي مَا يَحْلُو لَكُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes.
| وَلَكِنْ تَيَقَّنُوا أَنَّكُمْ إِنْ قَتَلْتُمُونِي فَإِنَّكُمْ تَجْلِبُونَ دَماً بَرِيئاً عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِهَا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَعَثَنِي حَقّاً لأُعْلِنَ قَضَاءَهُ فِي مَسَامِعِكُمْ». | ١٥ 15 |
Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ: «هَذَا الرَّجُلُ لَا يَسْتَحِقُّ حُكْمَ الْمَوْتِ لأَنَّهُ خَاطَبَنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا». | ١٦ 16 |
Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
| ثُمَّ قَامَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ شُيُوخِ الْبِلادِ وَقَالُوا لِجَمَاعَةِ الشَّعْبِ: | ١٧ 17 |
Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
| «إِنَّ مِيخَا الْمُورَشْتِيَّ تَنَبَّأَ فِي عَهْدِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَخَاطَبَ كُلَّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلاً هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنَّ صِهْيَوْنَ سَتُحْرَثُ كَحَقْلٍ وَتَصِيرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ كَوْمَةً مِنَ الْخَرَائِبِ، وَجَبَلُ الْهَيْكَلِ مُرْتَفَعاً تَنْمُو عَلَيْهِ أَشْجَارُ الْغَابِ. | ١٨ 18 |
“Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’
| فَهَلْ قَتَلَهُ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا؟ أَمَا اتَّقَى الرَّبَّ وَاسْتَعْطَفَهُ، فَامْتَنَعَ الرَّبُّ عَنِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي قَضَى بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ إِنَّنَا نَكَادُ نَجْلِبُ بَلاءً عَظِيماً عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا». | ١٩ 19 |
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً رَجُلٌ آخَرُ يُدْعَى أُورِيَّا بْنَ شِمْعِيَا مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ يَتَنَبَّأُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، فَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ بِمِثْلِ نُبُؤَةِ إِرْمِيَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
There was also a man who prophesied in Yahweh’s name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
| فَبَلَغَ كَلامُهُ مَسَامِعَ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ وَجَمِيعِ مُحَارِبِيهِ الأَشِدَّاءِ وَسَائِرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، فَطَلَبَ الْمَلِكُ قَتْلَهُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أُورِيَّا بِذَلِكَ خَافَ وَهَرَبَ إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ٢١ 21 |
When Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
| فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ رِجَالاً إِلَى مِصْرَ، مِنْهُمْ أَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ يَصْحَبُهُ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُرَافِقِينَ، | ٢٢ 22 |
Then Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt.
| فَأَخْرَجُوا أُورِيَّا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ فَقَتَلَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَطَرَحَ جُثَّتَهُ فِي مَقَابِرِ عَامَّةِ النَّاسِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
They fetched Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
| أَمَّا إِرْمِيَا فَقَدْ حَظِيَ بِحِمَايَةِ أَخِيقَامَ بِنْ شَافَانَ فَلَمْ يُسَلَّمْ لأَيْدِي الشَّعْبِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
