< إرْمِيا 46 >

هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنِ الأُمَمِ. ١ 1
The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
نُبُوءَةٌ عَنْ مِصْرَ، عَنْ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ نخُوَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ الَّذِي كَانَ مُعَسْكِراً عَلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ فِي كَرْكَمِيشَ، حَيْثُ قَضَى عَلَيْهِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. ٢ 2
Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
«أَعِدُّوا الْمِجَنَّ وَالتُّرْسَ وَازْحَفُوا لِلْقِتَالِ. ٣ 3
“Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
أَسْرِجُوا الْخَيْلَ وَامْتَطُوهَا أَيُّهَا الْفُرْسَانُ، وَانْتَصِبُوا بِالْخُوَذِ. اصْقِلُوا الرِّمَاحَ وَالْبَسُوا الدُّرُوعَ. ٤ 4
Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
وَلَكِنْ مَالِي أَرَاهُمْ يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ مُرْتَعِبِينَ؟ قَدْ دُحِرَ مُحَارِبُوهُمْ وَفَرُّوا مُسْرِعِينَ. لَمْ يَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، قَدْ حَاصَرَهُمُ الْهَوْلُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ٥ 5
Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and do not look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
«عَجَزَ الْخَفِيفُ عَنِ الْجَرْيِ لِلْفِرَارِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الْمُحَارِبِ الْهَرَبُ. فِي الشِّمَالِ عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا إِلَى جُوَارِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ. ٦ 6
“Do not let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
مَنْ هَذَا الطَّاغِي كَالنِّيلِ، كَالأَنْهَارِ الْمُتَلاطِمَةِ الأَمْوَاجِ؟ ٧ 7
“Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
تَتَعَالَى مِصْرُ كَفَيَضَانِ النِّيلِ، كَالأَنْهَارِ الْمُتَلاطِمَةِ الأَمْوَاجِ. تَقُولُ: أَفِيضُ وَأَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ، أَهْدِمُ الْمُدُنَ وَأُهْلِكُ سُكَّانَهَا. ٨ 8
Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
اقْتَحِمِي أَيَّتُهَا الْخَيْلُ، وَثُورِي يَا مَرْكَبَاتُ، وَلْيَبْرُزِ الْمُحَارِبُونَ مِنْ رِجَالِ كُوشَ وَفُوطَ، الْحَامِلِينَ التُّرُوسَ، وَمِنْ رِجَالِ لُودِيمَ رُمَاةِ السِّهَامِ بِالْقِسِيِّ. ٩ 9
Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
فَهَذَا الْيَوْمُ هُوَ يَوْمُ قَضَاءِ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، يَوْمُ الانْتِقَامِ. فِيهِ يَثْأَرُ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ، فَيَلْتَهِمُ السَّيْفُ وَيَشْبَعُ، وَيَرْتَوِي مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ، لأَنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ ذَبِيحَةً فِي أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ إِلَى جُوَارِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ. ١٠ 10
For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
اصْعَدِي إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَخُذِي بَلَسَاناً يَا عَذْرَاءَ ابْنَةَ مِصْرَ. وَلَكِنْ بَاطِلاً تُكْثِرِينَ مِنَ الْعَقَاقِيرِ، إِذْ لَا شِفَاءَ لَكِ. ١١ 11
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
سَتَسْمَعُ الأُمَمُ بِمَا لَحِقَ بِكِ مِنْ عَارٍ، وَيَمْلَأُ صُرَاخُكِ الأَرْضَ، لأَنَّ بَطَلاً مُحَارِباً يَصْطَدِمُ بِبَطَلٍ مُحَارِبٍ فَيَسْقُطَانِ كِلاهُمَا مَعاً». ١٢ 12
The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ عَنْ زَحْفِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ لِمُهَاجَمَةِ مِصْرَ: ١٣ 13
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
«أَذِيعُوا فِي مِصْرَ وَأَعْلِنُوا فِي مَجْدَلَ. خَبِّرُوا فِي مَمْفِيسَ وَفِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ، قُولُوا: قِفْ مُتَأَهِّباً وَتَهَيَّأْ لأَنَّ السَّيْفَ يَلْتَهِمُ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ. ١٤ 14
“Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
لِمَاذَا فَرَّ إِلَهُكَ الثَّوْرُ أَبِيسُ وَلَمْ يَصْمُدْ فِي الْقِتَالِ؟ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ طَرَحَهُ. ١٥ 15
Why are your strong ones swept away? They did not stand, because the LORD pushed them.
كَثَّرَ الْعَاثِرِينَ، فَسَقَطَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ. فَتَقُولُ بَقِيَّةُ الْيَهُودِ آنَئِذٍ: قُومُوا لِنَرْجِعْ إِلَى قَوْمِنَا وَإِلَى أَرْضِ مَوْطِنِنَا، هَرَباً مِنْ سَيْفِ الطَّاغِي. ١٦ 16
He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
وَيَهْتِفُونَ هُنَاكَ: إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لَيْسَ سِوَى طَبْلٍ أَجْوَفَ أَضَاعَ فُرْصَتَهُ. ١٧ 17
They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، سَيُقْبِلُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ كَجَبَلِ تَابُورَ بَيْنَ الْجِبَالِ وَكَالْكَرْمَلِ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ. ١٨ 18
“As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
تَأَهَّبُوا لِلْجَلاءِ يَا أَهْلَ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّ مَمْفِيسَ سَتَضْحَى أَطْلالاً وَخِرَباً مَهْجُورَةً. ١٩ 19
You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burned up, without inhabitant.
مِصْرُ عِجْلَةٌ فَاتِنَةٌ هَاجَمَهَا الْهَلاكُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ. ٢٠ 20
“Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
حَتَّى مُرْتَزَقَتُهَا فِي وَسَطِهَا كَعُجُولٍ مُسَمَّنَةٍ قَدْ نَكَصُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ هَارِبِينَ مَعاً وَلَمْ يَصْمُدُوا، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ بَلائِهِمْ قَدْ حَلَّ بِهِمْ فِي وَقْتِ عِقَابِهِمْ. ٢١ 21
Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They did not stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
صَوْتُهَا كَحَفِيفِ الْحَيَّةِ الْمُتَلَوِّيَةِ، لأَنَّ أَعْدَاءَهَا زَاحِفُونَ إِلَيْهَا بِفُؤُوسٍ كَحَطَّابِي الأَشْجَارِ. ٢٢ 22
Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
سَيَقْطَعُونَ غَابَهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَتَعَذَّرُ اخْتِرَاقُهُ، لأَنَّ عَدَدَهُمْ يَفُوقُ الْجَرَادَ فِي الْكَثْرَةِ. ٢٣ 23
They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
لَحِقَ الْخِزْيُ بِابْنَةِ مِصْرَ، وَوَقَعَتْ فِي أَسْرِ أَهْلِ الشِّمَالِ». ٢٤ 24
The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُ آمُونَ طِيبَةَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ، وَمِصْرَ وَآلِهَتَهَا، وَمُلُوكَهَا، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ. ٢٥ 25
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
وَأُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ طَالِبِي حَيَاتِهِمْ: إِلَى يَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَيَدِ رِجَالِهِ، ثُمَّ تَعُودُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَتُصْبِحُ آهِلَةً بِالسُّكَّانِ كَالْعَهْدِ بِها فِي الْحِقَبِ السَّالِفَةِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ٢٦ 26
I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
وَلَكِنْ لَا تَخَافُوا يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَلا تَفْزَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، لأَنِّي سَأُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنَ الْغُرْبَةِ وَأُخَلِّصُ نَسْلَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ السَّبْيِ، فَتَرْجِعُ ذُرِّيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ وَتَتَمَتَّعُ بِالرَّاحَةِ وَالطُّمَأْنِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُرْعِبَهَا أَحَدٌ. ٢٧ 27
“But do not you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Do not be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
لَا تَخَافُوا يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنِّي مَعَكُمْ وَأُفْنِي جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكُمْ إِلَيْهَا. أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلا أُفْنِيكُمْ بَلْ أُؤَدِّبُكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ، إِنَّمَا لَا أُبْرِئُكُمْ جَمِيعاً». ٢٨ 28
Do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says the LORD, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
