إرْمِيا 5

١ 1 اذْرَعُوا شَوَارِعَ أُورُشَلِيمَ ذِهَاباً وَإِيَاباً، وَانْظُرُوا وَاعْتَبِرُوا. ابْحَثُوا فِي أَرْجَاءِ سَاحَاتِهَا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَجِدُونَ رَجُلاً وَاحِداً يُجْرِي الْعَدْلَ وَيَنْشُدُ الْحَقَّ، فَأَصْفَحَ عَنْهَا.

Rove about in [the] streets of Jerusalem and see please and observe and search in open places its if you will find a person if there [is one who] does justice [one who] seeks faithfulness so I may forgive it.

٢ 2 فَإِنَّهُمْ وَإِنْ قَالُوا: حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، فَإِنَّمَا يَحْلِفُونَ زُوراً.

And though [by] [the] life of Yahweh people say therefore to falsehood they are swearing oaths.

٣ 3 أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، أَلَيْسَتْ عَيْنَاكَ تَطْلُبَانِ الْحَقَّ؟ لَقَدْ عَاقَبْتَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَوَجَّعُوا. أَهْلَكْتَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا التَّقْوِيمَ. صَلَّبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ، وَرَفَضُوا التَّوْبَةَ.

O Yahweh [are] eyes your ¿ not to faithfulness you struck them and not they writhed you brought to an end them they refused to accept correction they made strong faces their more than rock they refused to return.

٤ 4 فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: «إِنَّمَا هُمْ مَسَاكِينُ حَمْقَى، يَجْهَلُونَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ وَقَضَاءَ إِلَهِهِمْ.

٦ 6 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.

٨ 8 صَارُوا كَحُصُنٍ مَعْلُوفَةٍ سَائِبَةٍ يَصْهَلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ صَاحِبِهِ.

١٠ 10 اذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَتْلامِ كُرُومِهَا وَدَمِّرُوهَا وَلَكِنْ لَا تُفْنُوهَا. انْزِعُوا أَغْصَانَهَا لأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لِلرَّبِّ.
