إرْمِيا 29
| هَذَا هُوَ نَصُّ الرِّسَالَةِ الَّتِي بَعَثَ بِها إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَقِيَّةِ شُيُوخِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ، وَإِلَى الْكَهَنَةِ، وَالْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ الْكَذَبَةِ، وَسَائِرِ الشَّعْبِ، مِمَّنْ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، | ١ 1 |
This is the text of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the others Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
| وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ يَكُنْيَا الْمَلِكِ وَالْمَلِكَةِ وَالْخِصْيَانِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَالنَّجَّارِينَ وَالْحَدَّادِينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
(This was after King Jeconiah, the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had been exiled from Jerusalem.)
| وَحَمَلَ هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ أَلْعَاسَةُ بْنُ شَافَانَ وَجَمَرْيَا بْنُ حَلْقِيَا اللَّذَانِ أَرْسَلَهُمَا صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَقَدْ وَرَدَ فِيهَا: | ٣ 3 |
The letter was entrusted to Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It stated:
| هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِكُلِّ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَجْلَيْتُهُمْ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٤ 4 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
| ابْنُوا بُيُوتاً وَأَقِيمُوا فِيهَا. اغْرِسُوا بَسَاتِينَ وَكُلُوا مِنْ نِتَاجِهَا. | ٥ 5 |
“Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.
| تَزَوَّجُوا وَأَنْجِبُوا بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ، وَاتَّخِذُوا نِسَاءً لأَبْنَائِكُمْ وَزَوِّجُوا بَنَاتِكُمْ، وَلْيَلِدْنَ أَبْنَاءَ وَبَنَاتٍ. وَتَكَاثَرُوا هُنَاكَ، وَلا تَتَنَاقَصُوا، | ٦ 6 |
Take wives and have sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Multiply there; do not decrease.
| وَالْتَمِسُوا سَلامَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي سَبَيْتُكُمْ إِلَيْهَا، وَصَلُّوا مِنْ أَجْلِهَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ لأَنَّ سَلامَكُمْ يَتَوَقَّفُ عَلَى سَلامِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
Seek the prosperity of the city to which I have sent you as exiles. Pray to the LORD on its behalf, for if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَا يَخْدَعَنَّكُمْ أَنْبِيَاؤُكُمُ الْكَذَبَةُ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَالْعَرَّافُونَ. لَا تَسْتَمِعُوا إِلَى أَحْلامِهِمِ الَّتِي تُوْهِمُكُمْ بِالأَمَلِ، | ٨ 8 |
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Do not be deceived by the prophets and diviners among you, and do not listen to the dreams you elicit from them.
| لأَنَّهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِاسْمِي كَذِباً، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَبْعَثْهُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٩ 9 |
For they are falsely prophesying to you in My name; I have not sent them, declares the LORD.”
| وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً عَلَيْكُمْ فِي بَابِلَ، أَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَفِي لَكُمْ بِوُعُودِي الصَّالِحَةِ بِرَدِّكُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ. | ١٠ 10 |
For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and confirm My promise to restore you to this place.
| لأَنِّي عَرَفْتُ مَا رَسَمْتُهُ لَكُمْ. إِنَّهَا خُطَطُ سَلامٍ لَا شَرٍّ لأَمْنَحَكُمْ مُسْتَقْبَلاً وَرَجَاءً. | ١١ 11 |
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
| فَتَدْعُونَنِي وَتُقْبِلُونَ، وَتُصَلُّونَ إِلَيَّ فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لَكُمْ، | ١٢ 12 |
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
| وَتَلْتَمِسُونَنِي فَتَجِدُونَنِي إِذْ تَطْلُبُونَنِي بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
| وَحِينَ تَجِدُونَنِي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَكُمْ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ الأَمَاكِنِ الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكُمْ إِلَيْهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
| وَلأَنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ: «قَدْ بَعَثَ الرَّبُّ فِينَا أَنْبِيَاءَ فِي بَابِلَ». | ١٥ 15 |
Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
| يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَنِ الْمَلِكِ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، وَعَنْ سَائِرِ الشَّعْبِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَقْرِبَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوا إِلَى السَّبْيِ: | ١٦ 16 |
this is what the LORD says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—
| «هَا أَنَا أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ كَتِينٍ رَدِيءٍ تَعَافُ النَّفْسُ أَكْلَهُ لِفَرْطِ رَدَاءَتِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten.
| وَأَتَعَقَّبُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ، وَأُعَرِّضُهُمْ لِلرُّعْبِ فِي كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، فَيُصْبِحُونَ لَعْنَةً وَمَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ وَصَفِيرٍ وَعَارٍ فِي جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي شَتَّتُّهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، | ١٨ 18 |
I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them.
| لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلامِي الَّذِي أَنْذَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا». | ١٩ 19 |
I will do this because they have not listened to My words, declares the LORD, which I sent to them again and again through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles listened, declares the LORD.”
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَاسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَجْلَيْتُهُمْ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
| يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ آخْابَ بْنِ قُولايَا وَعَنْ صِدْقِيَّا بْنِ مَعْسِيَّا اللَّذَيْنِ يَتَنَبَّآنِ لَكُمْ بِاسْمِي زُوراً: «هَا أَنَا أُسَلِّمُهُمَا لِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَقْتُلُهُمَا عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْكُمْ، | ٢١ 21 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
| فَيُصْبِحَانِ مَثَلَ لَعْنَةٍ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا فِي بَابِلَ، فَيُقَالُ: لِيَجْعَلْكَ اللهُ نَظِيرَ صِدْقِيَّا وَأَخَآبَ اللَّذَيْنِ قَلاهُمَا مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بِالنَّارِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
| لأَنَّهُمَا ارْتَكَبَا الْفَوَاحِشَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَزَنَيَا مَعَ نِسَاءِ أَصْحَابِهِمَا وَتَنَبَّآ بِاسْمِي نُبُوءَاتٍ كَاذِبَةً لَمْ آمُرْهُمَا بِها. فَأَنَا الْعَارِفُ وَالشَّاهِدُ» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٣ 23 |
For they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and speaking lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”
| وَأَيْضاً قُلْ لِشِمْعِيَا النِّحْلامِيِّ: | ٢٤ 24 |
You are to tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite that
| «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَقَدْ بَعَثْتَ بِرَسَائِلَ بِاسْمِكَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَإِلَى صَفَنْيَا بْنِ مَعْسِيَّا الْكَاهِنِ وَإِلَى سَائِرِ الْكَهَنَةِ قَائِلاً: | ٢٥ 25 |
this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “In your own name you have sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests. You said to Zephaniah:
| إِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَقَامَكَ كَاهِناً عِوَضَ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ لِتَكُونُوا جَمِيعاً وُلاةً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، فَتَضَعُوا حَدّاً لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مَجْنُونٍ وَمُتَنَبِّئٍ فَتَزُجُّ بِهِ فِي الْمِقْطَرَةِ وَالْقُيُودِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
‘The LORD has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada, to be the chief officer in the house of the LORD, responsible for any madman who acts like a prophet—you must put him in stocks and neck irons.
| فَمَا بَالُكُمْ لَا تَزْجُرُونَ إِرْمِيَا الْعَنَاثُوثِيَّ الَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ لَكُمْ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
| إِنَّهُ قَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا فِي بَابِلَ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ حِقْبَةَ السَّبْيِ طَوِيلَةٌ، فَابْنُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ بُيُوتاً وَأَقِيمُوا فِيهَا، وَاغْرِسُوا بَسَاتِينَ وَكُلُوا مِنْ ثِمَارِهَا». | ٢٨ 28 |
For he has sent to us in Babylon, claiming: Since the exile will be lengthy, build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat their produce.’”
| فَقَرَأَ صَفَنْيَا الْكَاهِنُ هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ عَلَى مَسْمَعِ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ. | ٢٩ 29 |
(Zephaniah the priest, however, had read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.)
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ: | ٣٠ 30 |
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
| «ابْعَثْ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ قَائِلاً: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ شِمْعِيَا النِّحْلامِيِّ: بِمَا أَنَّ شِمْعِيَا قَدْ تَنَبَّأَ لَكُمْ مَعَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُ وَجَعَلَكُمْ تُصَدِّقُونَ الْكَذِبَ، | ٣١ 31 |
“Send a message telling all the exiles what the LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you—though I did not send him—and has made you trust in a lie,
| فَلِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُ شِمْعِيَا وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ فَلا يَمْتَدُّ الْعُمْرُ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَيْنَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ لِيَشْهَدَ الْخَيْرَ الَّذِي سَأُجْرِيهِ عَلَى شَعْبِي، لأَنَّهُ نَطَقَ بِالتَّمُرُّدِ عَلَيَّ». | ٣٢ 32 |
this is what the LORD says: ‘I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good that I will bring to My people, declares the LORD, for he has preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
