إرْمِيا 5
| اذْرَعُوا شَوَارِعَ أُورُشَلِيمَ ذِهَاباً وَإِيَاباً، وَانْظُرُوا وَاعْتَبِرُوا. ابْحَثُوا فِي أَرْجَاءِ سَاحَاتِهَا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَجِدُونَ رَجُلاً وَاحِداً يُجْرِي الْعَدْلَ وَيَنْشُدُ الْحَقَّ، فَأَصْفَحَ عَنْهَا. | ١ 1 |
"Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if you can find a man, if there are any who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon her.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ وَإِنْ قَالُوا: حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، فَإِنَّمَا يَحْلِفُونَ زُوراً. | ٢ 2 |
Though they say, 'As the LORD lives;' surely they swear falsely."
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، أَلَيْسَتْ عَيْنَاكَ تَطْلُبَانِ الْحَقَّ؟ لَقَدْ عَاقَبْتَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَوَجَّعُوا. أَهْلَكْتَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا التَّقْوِيمَ. صَلَّبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ، وَرَفَضُوا التَّوْبَةَ. | ٣ 3 |
O LORD, do your eyes not look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.
| فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: «إِنَّمَا هُمْ مَسَاكِينُ حَمْقَى، يَجْهَلُونَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ وَقَضَاءَ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ٤ 4 |
Then I said, "Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they do not know the way of the LORD, nor the law of their God.
| فَلأَقْصِدَنَّ الْعُظَمَاءَ وَأُكَلِّمْهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ وَقَضَاءَ إِلَهِهِمْ». فَإِذَا هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً قَدْ حَطَّمُوا النِّيرَ وَقَطَعُوا الرُّبُطَ. | ٥ 5 |
I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the law of their God." But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
| لِذَلِكَ يَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسَدٌ مِنَ الْغَابِ وَيَقْتُلُهُمْ، وَيَفْتَرِسُهُمْ ذِئْبٌ مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَيَكْمُنُ النَّمِرُ حَوْلَ مُدُنِهِمْ، فَيُمَزِّقُ إِرْباً كُلَّ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّ آثَامَهُمْ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَارْتِدَادَاتِهِمْ مُتَعَاظِمَةٌ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, and their backsliding is increased.
| «كَيْفَ أَعْفُو عَنْ أَعْمَالِكِ؟ تَخَلَّى عَنِّي أَبْنَاؤُكِ وَأَقْسَمُوا بِأَوْثَانٍ. وَعِنْدَمَا أَشْبَعْتُهُمْ ارْتَكَبُوا الْفِسْقَ، وَهَرْوَلُوا طَوَائِفَ إِلَى مَوَاخِيرِ الزَّانِيَاتِ. | ٧ 7 |
"How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and sworn by what are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes' houses.
| صَارُوا كَحُصُنٍ مَعْلُوفَةٍ سَائِبَةٍ يَصْهَلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ صَاحِبِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
They were as fed horses roaming at large: everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.
| أَلا أُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أَلا أَنْتَقِمُ لِنَفْسِي مِنْ أُمَّةٍ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Shouldn't I punish them for these things?" says the LORD; "and shouldn't my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
| اذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَتْلامِ كُرُومِهَا وَدَمِّرُوهَا وَلَكِنْ لَا تُفْنُوهَا. انْزِعُوا أَغْصَانَهَا لأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
"Go up on her walls, and destroy; but do not make a full end. Take away her branches; for they are not the LORD's.
| فَذُرِّيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَذُرِّيَّةُ يَهُوذَا قَدْ غَدَرَتَا بِي»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me," says the LORD.
| قَدْ أَنْكَرُوا الرَّبَّ وَقَالُوا: «لَنْ يُعَاقِبَنَا وَلَنْ يُصِيبَنَا مَكْرُوهٌ، وَلَنْ نَرَى سَيْفاً وَلَنْ نَتَعَرَّضَ لِجُوعٍ، | ١٢ 12 |
They have denied the LORD, and said, "It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine.
| وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ كَالرِّيحِ وَوَحْيُ الرَّبِّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ. فَلْيَأْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا تَنَبَّأُوا بِهِ». | ١٣ 13 |
The prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them."
| لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «لأَنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، فَهَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ كَلِمَاتِي فِي فَمِكَ نَاراً، وَهَذَا الشَّعْبَ حَطَباً، فَتَلْتَهِمُهُمُ النَّارُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, "Because you speak this word, look, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
| هَا أَنَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أُمَّةً قَدِيمَةً قَوِيَّةً مِنْ أَرْضٍ نَائِيَةٍ، تَجْهَلُونَ لُغَةَ أَهْلِهَا وَلا تَفْهَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُونَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Look, I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Israel," says the LORD. "It is a mighty nation. It is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, neither understand what they say.
| جُعْبَتُهَا كَقَبْرٍ مَفْتُوحٍ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِهَا جَبَابِرَةٌ، | ١٦ 16 |
Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.
| فَيَأْكُلُونَ حَصَادَكُمْ وَطَعَامَكُمْ، وَيُهْلِكُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ، وَيَلْتَهِمُونَ مَوَاشِيَكُمْ وَقُطْعَانَكُمْ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ كُرُومَكُمْ وَأَشْجَارَ تِينِكُمْ، وَيُدَمِّرُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ مُدُنَكُمُ الْحَصِينَةَ الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا تَتَوَكَّلُونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
They shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat. They shall eat up your flocks and your herds. They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees. They shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.
| وَلَكِنْ حَتَّى فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ لَنْ أُفْنِيَكُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٨ 18 |
"But even in those days," says the LORD, "I will not make a full end with you.
| «وَعِنْدَمَا يَسْأَلُونَ:’لِمَاذَا صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا بِنَا هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا؟‘تَقُولُ لَهُمْ:’كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ تَخَلَّيْتُمْ عَنِّي وَعَبَدْتُمُ الأَوْثَانَ الْغَرِيبَةَ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، كَذَلِكَ تُسْتَعْبَدُونَ لِلْغُرَبَاءِ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَكُمْ‘». | ١٩ 19 |
It will happen, when you say, 'Why has the LORD our God done all these things to us?' Then you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD, Just like you have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
| وَأَذيعُوا أَيْضاً هَذَا فِي ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَعْلِنُوهُ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا قَائِلِينَ: | ٢٠ 20 |
"Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
| «اسْمَعْ هَذَا أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الأَحْمَقُ الْغَبِيُّ، يَا مَنْ لَهُ عُيُونٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُبْصِرُ، وَلَهُ آذَانٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَسْمَعُ. | ٢١ 21 |
'Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and do not see; who have ears, and do not hear:
| أَلا تَخْشَوْنَنِي؟»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أَلا تَرْتَعِدُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِي؟ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ الرَّمْلَ حَدّاً لِمِيَاهِ الْبَحْرِ، حَاجِزاً أَبَدِيًّا لَا يَتَخَطَّاهُ. تَتَلاطَمُ أَمْوَاجُهُ وَلَكِنَّهَا تَعْجَزُ عَنْ تَعَدِّيهِ، وَتَهْدِرُ وَلَكِنَّهَا لَا تَتَجَاوَزُهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Do you not fear me?' says the LORD 'Won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? And though its waves toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.'
| أَمَّا هَذَا الشَّعْبُ فَذُو قَلْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ عَاصٍ، ثَارُوا عَلَيَّ وَمَضَوْا، | ٢٣ 23 |
"But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
| وَلَمْ يَتَنَاجَوْا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ:’لِنَتَّقِ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا الَّذِي يُغْدِقُ الْمَطَرَ فِي مَوَاعِيدِهِ فِي مَوْسِمَيِ الرَّبِيعِ وَالْخَرِيفِ، وَيَحْفَظُ لَنَا أَسَابِيعَ الْحَصَادِ حَسَبَ مَوَاقِيتِهَا.‘ | ٢٤ 24 |
Neither do they say in their heart, 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ آثَامَكُمْ قَدْ حَوَّلَتْ عَنْكُمْ هَذِهِ الْبَرَكَاتِ، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ حَرَمَتْكُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
"Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
| فَفِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِي قَوْمٌ أَشْرَارٌ يَكْمُنُونَ كَمَا يَكْمِنُ الْقَنَّاصُونَ لِلطُّيُورِ، وَيَنْصِبُونَ الْفَخَّ لاقْتِنَاصِ النَّاسِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For among my people are found wicked men. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men.
| بُيُوتُهُمْ تَكْتَظُّ بِالْخَدِيعَةِ كَقَفَصٍ مَمْلُوءٍ طُيُوراً، لِذَلِكَ عَظُمُوا وَأَثْرَوْا. | ٢٧ 27 |
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.
| ازْدَادُوا سِمَنةً وَنُعُومَةً، وَارْتَكَبُوا الشَّرَّ مُتَجَاوِزِينَ كُلَّ حَدٍّ. لَمْ يَحْكُمُوا بِعَدْلٍ فِي دَعْوَى الْيَتِيمِ حَتَّى تَنْجَحَ، وَلَمْ يُدَافِعُوا عَنْ حُقُوقِ الْمَسَاكِينِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they do not judge the right of the needy.
| أَفَلا أُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. «أَلا أَنْتَقِمُ لِنَفْسِي مِنْ أُمَّةٍ كَهَذِهِ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
"Shall I not punish for these things?" says the LORD. "Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
| قَدْ جَرَى فِي الْبِلادِ حَدَثٌ مُذْهِلٌ فَظِيعٌ. | ٣٠ 30 |
"An astonishing and horrible thing has happened in the land.
| فَالأَنْبِيَاءُ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ زُوراً، وَالْكَهَنَةُ يَتَصَرَّفُونَ بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِهِمْ، وَشَعْبِي أَحَبَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا. وَلَكِنْ مَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي نِهَايَةِ الْمَطَافِ؟» | ٣١ 31 |
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?
