إرْمِيا 27

١ 1 وَفِي مُسْتَهَلِّ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا:

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

٢ 2 «هَذَا مَا أَعْلَنَهُ الرَّبُّ: اصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ رُبُطاً وَأَنْيَاراً وَضَعْهَا عَلَى عُنْقِكَ،

'Thus saith the LORD to me: Make thee bands and bars, and put them upon thy neck;

٣ 3 وَابْعَثْ بِرِسَالَةٍ إِلَى مُلُوكِ أَدُومَ وَمُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَصُورَ وَصِيدُونَ مَعَ الرُّسُلِ الْمُوْفَدِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،

and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;

٤ 4 وَأَوْصِهِمْ أَنْ يَنْقُلُوا هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ إِلَى سَادَتِهِمْ قَائِلاً: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ:

and give them a charge unto their masters, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto your masters:

٥ 5 أَنَا بِقُوَّتِي الْعَظِيمَةِ وَبِذِرَاعِي الْمَمْدُودَةِ صَنَعْتُ الأَرْضَ بِمَا عَلَيْهَا مِنْ بَشَرٍ وَبَهَائِمَ، وَوَهَبْتُهَا لِمَنْ طَابَ لِي أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لَهُ.

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto Me.

٦ 6 وَالآنَ قَدْ عَهِدْتُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَرَاضِي إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ أَيْضاً حَيَوَانَ الْحَقْلِ لِيَكُونَ فِي خِدْمَتِهِ.

And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.

٧ 7 فَتُسْتَعْبَدُ لَهُ وَلابْنِهِ وَلِحَفِيدِهِ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَحِينَ مَوْعِدُ اسْتِعْبَادِ أَرْضِهِ، عِنْدَئِذٍ تَسْتَعْبِدُهُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمُلُوكٌ عُظَمَاءُ.

And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come; and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَبَتْ أَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ أَوْ مَمْلَكَةٍ الاسْتِعْبَادَ لِنَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَرَفَضَتْ أَنْ تَضَعَ عُنُقَهَا تَحْتَ نِيرِهِ، فَإِنِّي أُعَاقِبُهَا بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجَوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ إِلَى أَنْ أُبِيدَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I visit, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

٩ 9 فَلا تُصْغُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِكُمُ الْكَذَبَةِ وَعَرَّافِيكُمْ وَحَالِمِيكُمْ وَمُشَعْوِذِيكُمْ وَسَحَرَتِكُمُ الْقَائِلِينَ لَكُمْ: لَنْ تُسْتَعْبَدُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ،

But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;

١٠ 10 لأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُبْعِدُوكُمْ عَنْ أَرْضِكُمْ وَلأُجْلِيَكُمْ عَنْهَا فَتَهْلِكُوا

for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out and ye should perish.

١١ 11 وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ تَسْتَسْلِمُ لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتُسْتَعْبَدُ لَهُ أُبْقِيهَا فِي أَرْضِهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَتَحْرُثُهَا وَتُقِيمُ فِيهَا».

But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.'

١٢ 12 فَبَلَّغْتُ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ وَقُلْتُ: «اخْضَعُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَاخْدُمُوهُ وَشَعْبَهُ فَتَحْيَوْا.

And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying: 'Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

١٣ 13 فَلِمَاذَا تَمُوتُ أَنْتَ وَشَعْبُكَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ كَمَا قَضَى الرَّبُّ عَلَى الأُمَّةِ الَّتِي لَا تُسْتَعْبَدُ لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ؟

Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

١٤ 14 لَا تَسْتَمِعُوا لِكَلامِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْكَذَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَكُمْ: لَا تُسْتَعْبَدُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ لأَنَّهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ كَذِباً،

And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon, for they prophesy a lie unto you.

١٥ 15 فَأَنَا لَمْ أَرْسِلْهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّمَا هُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِاسْمِي كَذِباً لأَجْلِكُمْ فَتُطْرَدُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُكُمُ الْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ لَكُمْ».

For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, and they prophesy falsely in My name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.'

١٦ 16 وَقُلْتُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلامِ أَنْبِيَائِكُمُ الْكَذَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ إِنَّ آنِيَةَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ سَتُرَدُّ سَرِيعاً مِنْ بَابِلَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ كَذِباً.

Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying: Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you.

١٧ 17 لَا تُصْغُوا لَهُمْ، بَلِ اخْدُمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَاحْيَوْا، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَحَوَّلُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ إِلَى أَطْلالٍ؟

Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live; wherefore should this city become desolate?

١٨ 18 وَإِنْ كَانُوا حَقّاً أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقّاً وَحْيُ الرَّبِّ لَدَيْهِمْ فَلْيَبْتَهِلُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ لِكَيْ لَا يُحْمَلَ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَصْرِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

١٩ 19 فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَقُولُ عَنِ الأَعْمِدَةِ، وَبِرْكَةِ الْمَاءِ وَالْقَوَاعِدِ وَسَائِرِ الآنِيَةِ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ

For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

٢٠ 20 مِمَّا لَمْ يَسْتَوْلِ عَلَيْهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عِنْدَمَا سَبَى يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،

which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

٢١ 21 فَبَقِيَتْ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَفِي قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ:

yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:

٢٢ 22 إِنَّهَا سَتُحْمَلُ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَتَبْقَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ افْتِقَادِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَأَسْتَرْجِعُهَا وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ».

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I remember them, saith the LORD, and bring them up, and restore them to this place.'
