< إرْمِيا 31 >
وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَكُونُ إِلَهاً لِجَمِيعِ عَشَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً. | ١ 1 |
"At that time," says the LORD, "will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people."
قَدْ نَالَ النَّاجُونَ مِنَ السَّيْفِ نِعْمَةً فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ (أَيْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ السَّبْيِ) عِنْدَمَا ذَهَبْتُ لأُرْيِحَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢ 2 |
Thus says the LORD, "The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
ظَهَرَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ حُبّاً أَبَدِيًّا، لِذَلِكَ اجْتَذَبْتُكُمْ إِلَيَّ بِرَحْمَةٍ. | ٣ 3 |
The LORD appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
لِهَذَا أَبْنِيكِ يَا عَذْرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ (أَيْ أُورُشَلِيمُ) فَتُبْنَيْنَ، وَتَتَزَيَّنِينَ ثَانِيَةً بِدُفُوفِكِ، وَتَبْرُزِينَ فِي مَرَاقِصِ الطَّرِبِينَ. | ٤ 4 |
Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
تَغْرِسِيِنَ كُرُوماً ثَانِيَةً فَوْقَ جِبَالِ السَّامِرَةِ. يَغْرِسُ الْفَلّاحُونَ وَيَجْنُونَ الثِّمَارَ. | ٥ 5 |
Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.
لأَنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي فِيهِ الْمُرَاقِبُونَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ قَائِلِينَ: هَلُمُّوا فَنَصْعَدُ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا». | ٦ 6 |
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God."'"
فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «رَنِّمُوا بِهُتَافٍ لِيَعْقُوبَ، اهْتِفُوا لِرَأْسِ الأُمَمِ، أَعْلِنُوا وَسَبِّحُوا وَقُولُوا:’أَنْقِذْ يَا رَبُّ شَعْبَكَ، بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ‘. | ٧ 7 |
For thus says the LORD, "Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, 'For the LORD has saved your people, the remnant of Israel.'
هَا أَنَا آتِي بِهِمْ مِنْ بِلادِ الشِّمَالِ، وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ أَقْصَى أَطْرَافِ الأَرْضِ، وَفِيهِمِ الأَعْمَى وَالأَعْرَجُ، الْحُبْلَى وَالْمَاخِضُ، فَيَرْجِعُ حَشْدٌ عَظِيمٌ إِلَى هُنَا. | ٨ 8 |
'Look, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall they return here.
سَيَرْجِعُونَ بِنَوْحٍ، وَبِتَضَرُّعَاتٍ أَهْدِيهِمْ. إِلَى جُوارِ جَدَاوِلِ الْمِيَاهِ أُسَيِّرُهُمْ فَيْمْشُونَ فِي طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لَا يَعْثُرُونُ فِيهَا، لأَنِّي أَبٌ لإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَفْرَايِمُ بِكْرِي». | ٩ 9 |
They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.'"
«فَاسْمَعُوا كَلامَ الرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ، وَأَذِيعُوا فِي الْجَزَائِرِ الْبَعِيدَةِ، وَقُولُوا:’الَّذِي بَدَّدَ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَجْمَعُهُ وَيُحَافِظُ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحَافِظُ الرَّاعِي عَلَى قَطِيعِهِ.‘ | ١٠ 10 |
Hear the word of the LORD, you nations, and declare it in the islands afar off; and say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock."
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ افْتَدَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَكَّهُ مِنْ يَدِ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
فَيُقْبِلُونَ مُرَنِّمِينَ بِهُتَافٍ عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيَبْتَهِجُونَ بِخَيْرَاتِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ جَدِيدٍ وَزَيْتٍ وَحُمْلانٍ وَعُجُولٍ، وَتَكُونُ نُفُوسُهُمْ كَجَنَّةٍ مَرْوِيَّةٍ، وَلا يَعْتَرِيهِمْ حُزْنٌ بَعْدُ. | ١٢ 12 |
They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and they shall be radient over the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
حِينَئِذٍ تَبْتَهِجُ الْعَذَارَى بِالرَّقْصِ، وَيَطْرَبُ الشُّيُوخُ وَالشُّبَّانُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ. أُحَوِّلُ نَوْحَهُمْ إِلَى سُرُورٍ وَأَسْتَبْدِلُ حُزْنَهُمْ بِالْفَرَحِ وَالطُّمَأْنِينَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
"Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
وَأُشْبِعُ نُفُوسَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ الْخَيْرَاتِ، وَيَمْتَلِئُ شَعْبِي مِنْ نِعْمَتِي». | ١٤ 14 |
I will satiate the soul of the cohanim with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness," says the LORD.
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ تَرَدَّدَ فِي الرَّامَةِ صَوْتُ نَدْبٍ وَبُكَاءٍ مُرٍّ. رَاحِيلُ تَنُوحُ عَلَى أَبْنَائِهَا وَتَأْبَى أَنْ تَتَعَزَّى عَنْهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَوَجُودِينَ». | ١٥ 15 |
Thus says the LORD: "A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great bitterness, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more."
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «كُفِّي صَوْتَكِ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ وَعَيْنَيْكِ عَنِ الدُّمُوعِ لأَنَّ لِعَمَلِكِ ثَوَاباً»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «إِذْ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ أَوْلادُكِ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Thus says the LORD: "Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded," says the LORD; "and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
فَلِغَدِكِ رَجَاءٌ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «إِذْ سَيَرْجِعُ أَوْلادُكِ إِلَى مَوْطِنِهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
There is hope for your latter end," says the LORD; "and your children shall come again to their own border.
قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَفْرَايِمَ يَنْتَحِبُ قَائِلاً: أَدَّبْتَنِي فَتَأَدَّبْتُ كَعِجْلٍ غَيْرِ مُرَوَّضٍ. أَرْجِعْنِي فَأَرْجِعَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي. | ١٨ 18 |
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
فَقَدْ تُبْتُ بَعْدَ أَنْ غَوِيتُ، وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَعَلَّمْتُ صَفَقْتُ عَلَى فَخْذِي نَدَماً. خَجِلْتُ وَخَزِيتُ لأَنِّي حَمَلْتُ عَارَ حَدَاثَتِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.'
هَلْ أَفْرَايِمُ ابْنٌ أَثِيرٌ لَدَيَّ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ ابْناً مُسِرّاً؟ لأَنِّي مَعَ كَثْرَةِ تَنْدِيدِي بِهِ فَإِنِّي مَازِلْتُ أَذْكُرُهُ، لِذَلِكَ يَشْتَاقُ قَلْبِي إِلَيْهِ، وَأَكِنُّ لَهُ الرَّحْمَةَ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him," says the LORD.
«انْصِبِي لِنَفْسِكِ مَعَالِمَ. أَقِيمِي لِنَفْسِكِ أَنْصَاباً. تَأَمَّلِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ الرَّئِيسِيَّةِ، فِي السَّبِيلِ الَّذِي سَلَكْتِهِ. ارْجِعِي يَا عَذْرَاءَ صِهْيَوْنَ. ارْجِعِي إِلَى مُدُنِكِ هَذِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
"Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلِّينَ هَائِمَةً عَلَى وَجْهِكِ أَيَّتُهَا الابْنَةُ الْغَادِرَةُ؟ قَدْ خَلَقَ الرَّبُّ شَيْئاً جَدِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ: أُنْثَى تَحْمِي رَجُلاً». | ٢٢ 22 |
How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man."
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «سَيُرَدِّدُونَ هَذِهِ الْعِبَارَةَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أَرْجَاءِ مُدُنِهَا، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّهُمْ مِنْ سَبْيِهِمْ: لِيُبَارِكْكَ الرَّبُّ يَا مَسْكَنَ الْبِرِّ، يَا أَيُّهَا الْجَبَلُ الْمُقَدَّسُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity: 'The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.'
فَيُقِيمَ هُنَاكَ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ أَهْلِ مُدُنِهِ وَالْفَلّاحُونَ وَالسَّارِحُونَ بِقُطْعَانِهِمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
لأَنِّي سَأُنْعِشُ النَّفْسَ الْمُعْيِيَةَ، وَأُشْبِعُ النُّفُوسَ الْوَاهِنَةَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished."
وَآنَئِذٍ اسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَتَأَمَّلْتُ، وَطَابَ لِي نَوْمِي. | ٢٦ 26 |
On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أُكَثِّرُ فِيهَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، وَأُضَاعِفُ نِتَاجَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ أَضْعَافاً. | ٢٧ 27 |
"Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.
وَكَمَا تَرَبَّصْتُ بِهِمْ لأَسْتَأْصِلَ وَأَهْدِمَ وَأَنْقُضَ وَأُهْلِكَ وَأُسِيءَ، كَذَلِكَ أَسْهَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ لأَبْنِيَكُمْ وَأَغْرِسَكُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant," says the LORD.
«وَفِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ لَنْ يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ: قَدْ أَكَلَ الْآبَاءُ الْحِصْرِمَ فَضَرَسَتْ أَسْنَانُ الأَبْنَاءِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
"In those days they shall say no more, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'
بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِهِ، وَمَنْ يَأْكُلُ حِصْرِماً تَضْرَسُ أَسْنَانُهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ «أَقْطَعُ فِيهَا عَهْداً جَدِيداً مَعَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، | ٣١ 31 |
Look, the days come," says the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
لَا كَالْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ، يَوْمَ أَخَذْتُهُمْ بِيَدِهِمْ لأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، فَنَقَضُوا عَهْدِي، لِذَلِكَ أَهْمَلْتُهُمْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, and I disregarded them," says the LORD.
وَلَكِنْ هَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي أُبْرِمُهُ مَعَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «سَأَجْعَلُ شَرِيعَتِي فِي دَوَاخِلِهِمْ، وَأُدَوِّنُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً. | ٣٣ 33 |
"But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says the LORD: "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
وَلا يَحُضُّ فِي مَا بَعْدُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَرِيبَهُ قَائِلاً: اعْرِفِ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً سَيَعْرِفُونَنِي، مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ، لأَنِّي سَأَصْفَحُ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ وَلَنْ أَذْكُرَ خَطَايَاهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدُ». | ٣٤ 34 |
and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD'; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember no more."
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ لِلإِضَاءَةِ فِي النَّهَارِ، وَحَكَمَ عَلَى الْقَمَرِ وَالْكَوَاكِبِ لِلإِنَارَةِ لَيْلاً، الَّذِي يُثِيرُ الْبَحْرَ فَتَصْخَبُ أَمْوَاجُهُ، وَاسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; the LORD of hosts is his name:
«إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الأَحْكَامُ تَزُولُ مِنْ أَمَامِي فَإِنَّ ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَكُفُّ عَنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِي أُمَّةً». | ٣٦ 36 |
"If this fixed order departs from before me," says the LORD, "then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever."
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ أَمْكَنَ قِيَاسُ السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَالتَّنْقِيبُ عَنْ أُسُسِ الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، عِنْدَئِذٍ أَنْبِذُ ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ مَا ارْتَكَبُوهُ». | ٣٧ 37 |
Thus says the LORD: "If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the descendants of Israel for all that they have done," says the LORD.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ يُعَادُ فِيهَا بِنَاءُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ بُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إِلَى بَابِ الزَّاوِيَةِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
"Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that the city shall be built to the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
وَيَمْتَدُّ خَطُّ الْقِيَاسِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى أَكَمَةِ جَارِبَ وَيَلْتَفُّ إِلَى جَوْعَةَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
وَيُصْبِحُ كُلُّ وَادِي الْجُثَثِ وَالرَّمَادِ، وَسَائِرُ الْحُقُولِ إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ حَتَّى زَاوِيَةِ بَابِ الْخَيْلِ شَرْقاً قُدْساً لِلرَّبِّ، وَلَنْ تُسْتَأْصَلَ أَوْ تُهْدَمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever."
