< إرْمِيا 46 >

هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنِ الأُمَمِ. ١ 1
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the Gentiles,
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
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.
«أَعِدُّوا الْمِجَنَّ وَالتُّرْسَ وَازْحَفُوا لِلْقِتَالِ. ٣ 3
Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth to battle.
أَسْرِجُوا الْخَيْلَ وَامْتَطُوهَا أَيُّهَا الْفُرْسَانُ، وَانْتَصِبُوا بِالْخُوَذِ. اصْقِلُوا الرِّمَاحَ وَالْبَسُوا الدُّرُوعَ. ٤ 4
Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on 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
What then? I have seen them dismayed, and turning their backs, their valiant ones slain: they fled apace, and they looked not back: terror was round about, saith the Lord.
«عَجَزَ الْخَفِيفُ عَنِ الْجَرْيِ لِلْفِرَارِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الْمُحَارِبِ الْهَرَبُ. فِي الشِّمَالِ عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا إِلَى جُوَارِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ. ٦ 6
Let not the swift flee away, nor the strong think to escape: they are overthrown, and fallen down, towards the north by the river Euphrates.
مَنْ هَذَا الطَّاغِي كَالنِّيلِ، كَالأَنْهَارِ الْمُتَلاطِمَةِ الأَمْوَاجِ؟ ٧ 7
Who is this that cometh up as a flood: and his streams swell like those of rivers?
تَتَعَالَى مِصْرُ كَفَيَضَانِ النِّيلِ، كَالأَنْهَارِ الْمُتَلاطِمَةِ الأَمْوَاجِ. تَقُولُ: أَفِيضُ وَأَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ، أَهْدِمُ الْمُدُنَ وَأُهْلِكُ سُكَّانَهَا. ٨ 8
Egypt riseth up like a flood, and the waves thereof shall be moved as rivers, and he shall say: I will go up and will cover the earth: I will destroy the city, 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
Get ye up on horses, and glory in chariots, and let the valiant men come forth, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans that hold the shield, and the Lydians that take, and shoot arrows.
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 this is the day of the Lord the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may revenge himself of his enemies: the sword shall devour, and shall be filled, and shall be drunk with their blood: for there is a sacrifice of the Lord God of hosts 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 Galaad, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou multiply medicines, there shall be no cure for thee.
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 thy disgrace, and thy howling hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and both are fallen 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 Jeremias the prophet, how Nabuchodonosor 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 ye to Egypt, and publish it in Magdal, and let it be known in Memphis, and in Taphnis: say ye: Stand up, and prepare thyself: for the sword shall devour all round about thee.
لِمَاذَا فَرَّ إِلَهُكَ الثَّوْرُ أَبِيسُ وَلَمْ يَصْمُدْ فِي الْقِتَالِ؟ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ طَرَحَهُ. ١٥ 15
Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown 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 hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land our nativity, from the sword of the dove.
وَيَهْتِفُونَ هُنَاكَ: إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لَيْسَ سِوَى طَبْلٍ أَجْوَفَ أَضَاعَ فُرْصَتَهُ. ١٧ 17
Call ye the name of Pharao king Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.
حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، سَيُقْبِلُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ كَجَبَلِ تَابُورَ بَيْنَ الْجِبَالِ وَكَالْكَرْمَلِ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ. ١٨ 18
As I live, (saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, ) as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
تَأَهَّبُوا لِلْجَلاءِ يَا أَهْلَ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّ مَمْفِيسَ سَتَضْحَى أَطْلالاً وَخِرَباً مَهْجُورَةً. ١٩ 19
Furnish thyself to go into captivity, thou daughter inhabitant of Egypt: for Memphis shall be made desolate, and shall be forsaken and uninhabited.
مِصْرُ عِجْلَةٌ فَاتِنَةٌ هَاجَمَهَا الْهَلاكُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ. ٢٠ 20
Egypt is like a fair and beautiful heifer: there shall come from the north one that shall goad her.
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
Her hirelings also that lived in the midst of her, like fatted calves are turned back, and are fled away together, and they could not stand, for the day of their slaughter is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
صَوْتُهَا كَحَفِيفِ الْحَيَّةِ الْمُتَلَوِّيَةِ، لأَنَّ أَعْدَاءَهَا زَاحِفُونَ إِلَيْهَا بِفُؤُوسٍ كَحَطَّابِي الأَشْجَارِ. ٢٢ 22
Her voice shall sound like brass, for they shall hasten with an army, and with axes they shall come against her, as hewers of wood.
سَيَقْطَعُونَ غَابَهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَتَعَذَّرُ اخْتِرَاقُهُ، لأَنَّ عَدَدَهُمْ يَفُوقُ الْجَرَادَ فِي الْكَثْرَةِ. ٢٣ 23
They have cut down her forest, saith the Lord, which cannot be counted: they are multiplied above locusts, and are without number.
لَحِقَ الْخِزْيُ بِابْنَةِ مِصْرَ، وَوَقَعَتْ فِي أَسْرِ أَهْلِ الشِّمَالِ». ٢٤ 24
The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and 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 hosts the God of Israel hath said: Behold I will visit upon the tumult of Alexandria, and upon Pharao, and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings, and upon Pharao, upon them that 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
And I will deliver them into the hand of them that seek their lives, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith 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
And thou my servant Jacob, fear not and be not thou dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed out of the land of thy captivity: and Jacob shall return and be at rest, and prosper: and there shall be none to terrify him.
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
And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith the Lord: because I am with thee, for I will consume all the nations to which I have cast thee out: but thee I will not consume, but I will correct thee in judgment, neither will I spare thee as if thou wert innocent.
