< إرْمِيا 51 >
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَعَلَى الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ رِيحاً مُهْلِكَةً. | ١ 1 |
Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
وَأَبْعَثُ إِلَى بَابِلَ مُذَرِّينَ يُذَرُّونَهَا، وَيَجْعَلُونَ أَرْضَهَا قَفْراً، وَيُهَاجِمُونَهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِهَا. | ٢ 2 |
And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
لِيُوَتِّرِ الرَّامِي قَوْسَهُ وَلْيَتَدَجَّجْ بِسِلاحِهِ. لَا تَعْفُوا عَنْ شُبَّانِهَا، بَلْ أَبِيدُوا كُلَّ جَيْشِهَا إِبَادَةً. | ٣ 3 |
Against him that bends let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifts himself up in his brigandine: and spare all of you not her young men; destroy all of you utterly all her host.
يَتَسَاقَطُ الْقَتْلَى فِي أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَالْجَرْحَى فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، | ٤ 4 |
Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
لأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا لَمْ يُهْمِلْهُمَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُهُمَا تَفِيضُ بِالإِثْمِ ضِدَّ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ 5 |
For Israel has not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
اهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ بَابِلَ، وَلْيَنْجُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَيَاتِهِ. لَا تَبِيدُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ إِثْمِهَا، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ وَقْتُ انْتِقَامِ الرَّبِّ، وَمَوْعِدُ مُجَازَاتِهَا. | ٦ 6 |
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
كَانَتْ بَابِلُ كَأْسَ ذَهَبٍ فِي يَدِ اللهِ، فَسَكِرَتِ الأَرْضُ قَاطِبَةً. تَجَرَّعَتِ الأُمَمُ مِنْ خَمْرِهَا، لِذَلِكَ جُنَّتِ الشُّعُوبُ. | ٧ 7 |
Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
فَجْأَةً سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ وَتَحَطَّمَتْ، فَوَلْوِلُوا عَلَيْهَا، خُذُوا بَلَسَاناً لِجُرْحِهَا لَعَلَّهَا تَبْرَأُ. | ٨ 8 |
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
قُمْنَا بِمُدَاوَاةِ بَابِلَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَنْجَعْ فِيهَا عِلاجٌ. اهْجُرُوهَا وَلْيَمْضِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، لأَنَّ قَضَاءَهَا قَدْ بَلَغَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَصَاعَدَ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَ إِلَى الْغُيُومِ. | ٩ 9 |
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reachs unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
قَدْ أَظْهَرَ الرَّبُّ بِرَّنَا، فَتَعَالَوْا لِنُذِيعَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ مَا صَنَعَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. | ١٠ 10 |
The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
سُنُّوا السِّهَامَ، وَتَقَلَّدُوا الأَتْرَاسَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَثَارَ رُوحَ مُلُوكِ الْمَادِيِّينَ، إِذْ وَطَّدَ الْعَزْمَ عَلَى إِهْلاكِ بَابِلَ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ انْتِقَامُ الرَّبِّ، وَالثَّأْرُ لِهَيْكَلِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
انْصِبُوا رَايَةً عَلَى أَسْوَارِ بَابِلَ. شَدِّدُوا الْحِرَاسَةَ. أَقِيمُوا الأَرْصَادَ. أَعِدُّوا الْكَمَائِنَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ خَطَّطَ وَأَنْجَزَ مَا قَضَى بِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَابِلَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD has both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
أَيَّتُهَا السَّاكِنَةُ إِلَى جُوَارِ الْمِيَاهِ الْغَزِيرَةِ، ذَاتُ الْكُنُوزِ الْوَفِيرَةِ، إِنَّ نِهَايَتَكِ قَدْ أَزِفَتْ، وَحَانَ مَوْعِدُ اقْتِلاعِكِ. | ١٣ 13 |
O you that dwell upon many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, and the measure of your covetousness.
قَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ بِذَاتِهِ قَائِلاً: لَأَمْلأَنَّكِ أُنَاساً كَالْغَوْغَاءِ فَتَعْلُو جَلَبَتُهُمْ عَلَيْكِ. | ١٤ 14 |
The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up a shout against you.
هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ الأَرْضَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ، وَأَسَّسَ الدُّنْيَا بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وَمَدَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِفِطْنَتِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
مَا إِنْ يَنْطِقُ بِصَوْتِهِ حَتَّى تَتَجَمَّعَ غِمَارُ الْمِيَاهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَصْعَدَ السُّحُبُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَجْعَلُ لِلْمَطَرِ بُرُوقاً، وَيُطْلِقُ الرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he makes lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.
كُلُّ امْرِئٍ خَامِلٌ وَعَدِيمُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، وَكُلُّ صَائِغٍ خَزِيَ مِنْ تِمْثَالِهِ، لأَنَّ صَنَمَهُ الْمَسْبُوكَ كَاذِبٌ وَلا حَيَاةَ فِيهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
جَمِيعُ الأَصْنَامِ بَاطِلَةٌ وَصَنْعَةُ ضَلالٍ، وَفِي زَمَنِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ. | ١٨ 18 |
They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
أَمَّا نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ فَلَيْسَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الأَوْثَانِ، بَلْ هُوَ جَابِلُ كُلِّ الأَشْيَاءِ. وَشَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ سِبْطُ مِيرَاثِهِ، وَاسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١٩ 19 |
The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
أَنْتَ فَأْسُ مَعْرَكَتِي وَآلَةُ حَرْبِي. بِكَ أُمَزِّقُ الأُمَمَ إِرْباً وَأُحَطِّمُ مَمَالِكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
You are my battle axe and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
بِكَ أَجْعَلُ الْفَرَسَ وَفَارِسَهَا أَشْلاءَ، وَأُهَشِّمُ الْمَرْكَبَةَ وَرَاكِبَهَا. | ٢١ 21 |
And with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
بِكَ أُحَطِّمُ الرَّجُلَ وَالْمَرْأَةَ، وَالشَّيْخَ وَالْفَتَى، وَالشَّابَ وَالْعَذْرَاءَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
With you also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces old and young; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
بِكَ أَسْحَقُ الرَّاعِي وَقَطِيعَهُ، وَالْحَارِثَ وَفَدَّانَهُ، وَالْحُكَّامَ وَالْوُلاةَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
سَأُجَازِي بَابِلَ وَسَائِرَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِّهِمِ الَّذِي ارْتَكَبُوهُ فِي حَقِّ صِهْيَوْنَ، عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, says the LORD.
هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَلُ الْمُخَرِّبُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. أَنْتَ تُفْسِدُ كُلَّ الأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ وَأُدَحْرِجُكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّخُورِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ جَبَلاً مُحْتَرِقاً. | ٢٥ 25 |
Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says the LORD, which destroys all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
فَلا يُقْطَعُ مِنْكَ حَجَرٌ لِزَاوِيَةٍ، وَلا حَجَرٌ يُوْضَعُ كَأَسَاسٍ، بَلْ تَكُونُ خَرَاباً أَبَدِيًّا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever, says the LORD.
انْصِبُوا رَايَةً فِي الأَرْضِ. انْفُخُوا فِي الْبُوقِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. أَثِيرُوا عَلَيْهَا الأُمَمَ لِقِتَالِهَا، وَأَعِدُّوا عَلَيْهَا مَمَالِكَ أَرَارَاطَ وَمِنِّي وَأَشْكَنَازَ. أَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا قَائِداً. اجْعَلُوا الْخَيْلَ تَزْحَفُ عَلَيْهَا كَجَحَافِلِ الْجَرَادِ الشَّرِسَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Set all of you up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.
أَثِيرُوا عَلَيْهَا الأُمَمَ وَمُلُوكَ المَادِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ حُكَّامِهِمْ وَوُلاتِهِمْ وَسَائِرَ الدِّيَارِ الَّتِي يَحْكُمُونَهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
الأَرْضُ تَرْجُفُ وَتَقْشَعِرُّ، لأَنَّ قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى بَابِلَ يَتِمُّ، لِيَجْعَلَ أَرْضَ بَابِلَ خَرَاباً وَقَفْراً. | ٢٩ 29 |
And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
قَدْ أَحْجَمَ مُحَارِبُو بَابِلَ الْجَبَابِرَةُ عَنِ الْقِتَالِ، وَاعْتَصَمُوا فِي مَعَاقِلِهِمْ. خَارَتْ شَجَاعَتُهُمْ، وَصَارُوا كَالنِّسَاءِ. احْتَرَقَتْ مَسَاكِنُ بَابِلَ وَتَحَطَّمَتْ مَزَالِيجُهَا. | ٣٠ 30 |
The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might has failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling places; her bars are broken.
يَرْكُضُ عَدَّاءٌ لِمُلاقَاةِ عَدَّاءٍ آخَرَ. وَيُسْرِعُ مُخْبِرٌ لِلِقَاءِ مُخْبِرٍ لِيُبَلِّغَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ أَنَّ مَدِينَتَهُ قَدْ تَمَّ الاسْتِيلاءُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at every quarter,
قَدْ سَقَطَتِ الْمَعَابِرُ وَأُحْرِقَتْ أَجَمَاتُ الْقَصَبِ بِالنَّارِ وَاعْتَرَى الذُّعْرُ الْمُحَارِبِينَ، | ٣٢ 32 |
And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ بَابِلَ كَالْبَيْدَرِ، وَقَدْ حَانَ أَوَانُ دَرْسِ حِنْطَتِهِ. وَبَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَأْزَفُ مَوْعِدُ حَصَادِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
يَقُولُ الْمَسْبِيُّونَ: «قَدِ افْتَرَسَنَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَسَحَقَنَا وَجَعَلَنَا إِنَاءً فَارِغاً. ابْتَلَعَنَا كَتِنِّينٍ، وَمَلأَ جَوْفَهُ مِنْ أَطَايِبِنَا، ثُمَّ لَفَظَنَا مِنْ فَمِهِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has swallowed me up like a dragon, he has filled his belly with my delicates, he has cast me out.
يَقُولُ أَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: لِيَحُلَّ بِبَابِلَ مَا أَصَابَنَا وَأَصَابَ لُحُومَنَا مِنْ ظُلْمٍ. وَتَقُولُ أُورُشَلِيمُ: دَمِي عَلَى أَهْلِ أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُدَافِعُ عَنْ دَعْوَاكِ وَأَنْتَقِمُ لَكِ، فَأُجَفِّفُ بَحْرَ بَابِلَ وَيَنَابِيعَهَا، | ٣٦ 36 |
Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
فَتَصِيرُ بَابِلُ رُكَاماً وَمَأْوَى لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَمَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ وَصَفِيرٍ وَأَرْضاً مُوْحِشَةً. | ٣٧ 37 |
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
إِنَّهُمْ يَزْأَرُونَ كَالأُسُودِ وَيُزَمْجِرُونَ كَالأَشْبَالِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
عِنْدَ شَبَعِهِمْ أُعِدُّ لَهُمْ مَأْدُبَةً وَأُسْكِرُهُمْ حَتَّى تَأْخُذَهُمُ النَّشْوَةُ فَيَنَامُونَ نَوْماً أَبَدِيًّا لَا يَقْظَةَ مِنْهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the LORD.
وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ كَالْحُمْلانِ لِلذَّبْحِ وَكَالْكِبَاشِ وَالتُّيُوسِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
كَيْفَ اسْتُوْلِيَ عَلَى بَابِلَ! كَيْفَ سَقَطَتْ فَخْرُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ! كَيْفَ صَارَتْ بَابِلُ مَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ! | ٤١ 41 |
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
قَدْ طَغَى الْبَحْرُ عَلَى بَابِلَ فَغَمَرَهَا بِأَمْوَاجِهِ الْهَائِجَةِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
The sea has come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
وَأَصْبَحَتْ مُدُنُهَا مُوْحِشَةً وَأَرْضَ قَفْرٍ وَصَحْرَاءَ، أَرْضاً لَا يَأْوِي إِلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ وَلا يَجْتَازُ بِها إِنْسَانٌ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
وَأُعَاقِبُ الصَّنَمَ بِيلَ فِي بَابِلَ، وَأَسْتَخْرِجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ مَا ابْتَلَعَهُ، فَتَكُفُّ الأُمَمُ عَنِ التَّوَافُدِ إِلَيْهِ، وَيَنْهَدِمُ أَيْضاً سُورُ بَابِلَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
اخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا يَا شَعْبِي وَلْيَنْجُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَيَاتِهِ هَرَباً مِنِ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤٥ 45 |
My people, go all of you out of the midst of her, and deliver all of you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
لَا يَخُرْ قَلْبُكُمْ وَلا تَفْزَعُوا مِمَّا يَشِيعُ فِي الدِّيَارِ مِنْ أَنْبَاءَ، إِذْ تَرُوجُ شَائِعَةٌ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَأُخْرَى فِي السَّنَةِ التَّالِيَةِ، وَيَسُودُ الْعُنْفُ الأَرْضَ، وَيَقُومُ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى مُتَسَلِّطٍ. | ٤٦ 46 |
And lest your heart faint, and all of you fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ أُعَاقِبُ فِيهَا أَصْنَامَ بَابِلَ وَيَلْحَقُ الْعَارُ بِأَرْضِهَا كُلِّهَا، وَيَتَسَاقَطُ قَتْلاهَا فِي وَسَطِهَا. | ٤٧ 47 |
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَتَغَنَّى بِسُقُوطِ بَابِلَ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا، لأَنَّ الْمُدَمِّرِينَ يَتَقَاطَرُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٤٨ 48 |
Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, says the LORD.
كَمَا صَرَعَتْ بَابِلُ قَتْلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَكَذَا يُصْرَعُ قَتْلَى بَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْض. | ٤٩ 49 |
As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاجُونَ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، اهْرُبُوا وَلا تَقِفُوا، اذْكُرُوا الرَّبَّ فِي مَكَانِكُمُ الْبَعِيدِ، وَلا تَبْرَحْ أُورُشَلِيمُ مِنْ خَوَاطِرِكُمْ. | ٥٠ 50 |
All of you that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD far off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
قَدْ لَحِقَنَا الْخِزْيُ لأَنَّنَا اسْتَمَعْنَا لِلإِهَانَةِ، فَكَسَا الْخَجَلُ وُجُوهَنَا، إِذِ انْتَهَكَ الْغُرَبَاءُ مَقَادِسَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٥١ 51 |
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame has covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أُنَفِّذُ فِيهَا قَضَائِي عَلَى أَصْنَامِ بَابِلَ، وَيَئِنُّ جَرْحَاهَا فِي كُلِّ دِيَارِهَا. | ٥٢ 52 |
Wherefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
وَحَتَّى لَوِ ارْتَفَعَتْ بَابِلُ فَبَلَغَتِ السَّمَاءَ، وَحَتَّى لَوْ حَصَّنَتْ مَعَاقِلَهَا الشَّامِخَةَ، فَإِنَّ الْمُدَمِّرِينَ يَنْقَضُّونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ عِنْدِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, says the LORD.
هَا صَوْتُ صُرَاخٍ يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي بَابِلَ، صَوْتُ جَلَبَةِ دَمَارٍ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، | ٥٤ 54 |
A sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ خَرَّبَ بَابِلَ، وَأَخْرَسَ جَلَبَتَهَا الْعَظِيمَةَ، إِذْ طَغَتْ عَلَيْهَا جَحَافِلُ أَعْدَائِهَا كَمِيَاهٍ عَجَّاجَةٍ، وَعَلا ضَجِيجُ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ. | ٥٥ 55 |
Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
لأَنَّ الْمُدَمِّرَ قَدِ انْقَضَّ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَأَسَرَ مُحَارِبِيهَا، وَتَكَسَّرَتْ كُلُّ قِسِيِّهَا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهُ مُجَازَاةٍ، وَهُوَ حَتْماً يُحَاسِبُهَا. | ٥٦ 56 |
Because the spoiler has come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
إِنِّي أُسْكِرُ رُؤَسَاءَهَا وَحُكَمَاءَهَا وَمُحَارِبِيهَا، فَيَنَامُونَ نَوْماً أَبَدِيًّا لَا يَقْظَةَ مِنْهُ، يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ. | ٥٧ 57 |
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنَّ سُورَ بَابِلَ الْعَرِيضَ يُقَوَّضُ وَيُسَوَّى بِالأَرْضِ، وَبَوَّابَاتِهَا الْعَالِيَةَ تَحْتَرِقُ بِالنَّارِ، وَيَذْهَبُ تَعَبُ الشُّعُوبِ بَاطِلاً، وَيَكُونُ مَصِيرُ جَهْدِ الأُمَمِ لِلنَّارِ». | ٥٨ 58 |
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْدَعَهَا إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ سَرَايَا بْنَ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَّا، عِنْدَمَا رَافَقَ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَابِلَ فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ. وَكَانَ سَرَايَا آنَئِذٍ رَئِيسَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ. | ٥٩ 59 |
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
وَكَانَ إِرْمِيَا قَدْ دَوَّنَ فِي كِتَابٍ وَاحِدٍ جَمِيعَ الْكَوَارِثِ الَّتِي سَتُبْتَلَى بِها بَابِلُ، أَيْ جَمِيعَ النُّبُوءَاتِ الْمُدَوَّنَةِ عَنْ بَابِلَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِسَرَايَا: «حَالَمَا تَصِلُ إِلَى بَابِلَ، اعْمَلْ عَلَى تِلاوَةِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ النُّبُوءَاتِ. | ٦١ 61 |
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, and shall see, and shall read all these words;
وَقُلْ: أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ بِالانْقِرَاضِ، فَلا يَسْكُنُ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ، بَلْ يُصْبِحُ خَرَاباً أَبَدِيًّا. | ٦٢ 62 |
Then shall you say, O LORD, you have spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
وَمَتَى فَرَغْتَ مِنْ تِلاوَةِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ، ارْبُطْ بِهِ حَجَراً وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي وَسَطِ الْفُرَاتِ. | ٦٣ 63 |
And it shall be, when you have made an end of reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
وَقُلْ: كَذَلِكَ تَغْرَقُ بَابِلُ وَلا تَطْفُو بَعْدُ لِمَا أُوْقِعُهُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ عِقَابٍ فَيَعْيَا كُلُّ أَهْلِهَا». إِلَى هُنَا تَنْتَهِي نُبُوءَاتُ إِرْمِيَا. | ٦٤ 64 |
And you shall say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
