< إرْمِيا 8 >
وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ يَنْبِشُونَ مِنَ الْقُبُورِ عِظَامَ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَعِظَامَ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ وَكَهَنَتِهِمْ وَأَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، وَعِظَامَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١ 1 |
At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
وَيَعْرِضُونَهَا أَمَامَ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَكَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي أَحَبُّوهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَهَا، وَاسْتَشَارُوهَا وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، فَلا تُجْمَعُ وَلا تُدْفَنُ، بَلْ تَصِيرُ نُفَايَةً فَوْقَ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، | ٢ 2 |
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.
وَجَمِيعُ الْبَقِيَّةِ الْبَاقِيَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَشِيرَةِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الْمُشَتَّتَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْبِقَاعِ الَّتِي نَفَيْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، يُؤْثِرُونَ الْمَوْتَ عَلَى الْحَيَاةِ». | ٣ 3 |
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: عِنْدَمَا يَسْقُطُ الرِّجَالُ، أَلا يَقُومُونَ ثَانِيَةً؟ وَعِنْدَمَا يَرْتَدُّونَ مُخْطِئِينَ أَلا يَرْجِعُونَ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
فَمَا بَالُ شَعْبِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا ارْتِدَاداً دَائِماً مُتَشَبِّثِينَ بِالْخَدِيعَةِ وَرَافِضِينَ الرُّجُوعَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
قَدْ أَصْغَيْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ، وَإذَا بِهِمْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِمَا يُنَافِي الْحَقَّ، وَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتُوبُ عَنْ شَرِّهِ قَائِلاً: مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَرْتَكِبُ؟ بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ كَفَرَسٍ مُنْدَفِعٍ لِخَوْضِ مَعْرَكَةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
I listened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
إِنَّ اللَّقْلَقَ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَعْرِفُ مِيعَادَ هِجْرَتِهِ، وَالْيَمَامَةَ وَالسُّنُونَةَ الْمُغَرِّدَةَ تَحْفَظَانِ أَوَانَ عَوْدَتِهِمَا مِنْ هِجْرَتِهِمَا. أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَلا يَعْرِفُ قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ! | ٧ 7 |
Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
كَيْفَ تَدَّعُونَ أَنَّكُمْ حُكَمَاءُ وَلَدَيْكُمْ شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ بَيْنَمَا حَوَّلَهَا قَلَمُ الْكَتَبَةِ المُخَادِعُ إِلَى أُكْذُوبَةٍ؟ | ٨ 8 |
How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? See, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
سَيَلْحَقُ الْخِزْيُ بِالْحُكَمَاءِ وَيَعْتَرِيهِمِ الْفَزَعُ وَالذُّهُولُ، لأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ. إِذاً أَيَّةُ حِكْمَةٍ فِيهِمْ؟ | ٩ 9 |
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: see, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
لِذَلِكَ أُعْطِي نِسَاءَهُمْ لآخَرِينَ وَحُقُولَهُمْ لِلْوَارِثِينَ الْقَاهِرِينَ، لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ مُوْلَعُونَ بِالرِّبْحِ. حَتَّى النَّبِيُّ وَالْكَاهِنُ يَرْتَكِبَانِ الزُّورَ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمَا، | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
وَيُعَالِجُونَ جِرَاحَ شَعْبِي بِاسْتِخْفَافٍ قَائِلِينَ: سَلامٌ، سَلامٌ فِي حِينِ لَا يُوْجَدُ سَلامٌ. | ١١ 11 |
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
هَلْ خَجِلُوا عِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَفُوا الرِّجْسَ؟ كَلَّا! لَمْ يَخْزَوْا قَطُّ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا الْخَجَلَ. لِذَلِكَ سَيَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ السَّاقِطِينَ، وَحِينَ أُعَاقِبُهُمْ يُطَوَّحُ بِهِمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
«وَسَأُبِيدُهُمْ حَقّاً، إِذْ لَا يَكُونُ فِي الْكَرْمَةِ عِنَبٌ وَلا فِي التِّينَةِ تِينٌ، حَتَّى أَوْرَاقُ الأَشْجَارِ تَذْوِي وَتَتَسَاقَطُ، وَمَا أَغْدَقْتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ نِعَمٍ يُسْلَبُ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
فَمَا لَنَا قَابِعُونَ هُنَا؟ اجْتَمِعُوا مَعاً وَلْنَلْجَأْ إِلَى الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ وَنَهْلِكْ هُنَاكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا قَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْنَا بِالْهَلاكِ، وَأَعْطَانَا مَاءً مَسْمُوماً لِنَشْرَبَهُ، لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا فِي حَقِّهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defended cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
طَلَبْنَا السَّلامَ فَلَمْ يُسْفِرْ عَنْ خَيْرٍ. نَشَدْنَا وَقْتاً لِلْمُدَاوَاةِ فَابْتُلِينَا بِالأَهْوَالِ. | ١٥ 15 |
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
قَدْ تَرَدَّدَتْ حَمْحَمَةُ خَيْلِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ دَانَ، وَارْتَعَدَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ صَهِيلِ جِيَادِهِمْ. قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا وَاكْتَسَحُوا الأَرْضَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَالْمَدِينَةَ وَأَهْلَهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
انْظُرُوا، هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَفَاعِيَ مُمِيتَةً لَا تَنْجَعُ مَعَهَا رُقىً فَتَلْدَغُكُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٧ 17 |
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيَّ الْحُزْنُ وَقَلْبِي فِيَّ سَقِيمٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
هُوَذَا صَرْخَةُ اسْتِغَاثَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَتَجَاوَبُ مِنْ أَرْضٍ نَائِيَةٍ قَائِلَةً: «أَلَيْسَ الرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ؟ أَلَيْسَ مَلِكُهَا فِيهَا؟ لِمَاذَا أَثَارُوا غَيْظِي بِمَنْحُوتَاتِهِمْ وَأَوْثَانِهِمِ الْغَرِيبَةِ الْبَاطِلَةِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
قَدِ انْقَضَى مَوْسِمُ الْحَصَادِ، وَانْتَهَى الصَّيْفُ، وَنَحْنُ لَمْ نَخْلُصْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
لأَنَّ سَحْقَ أُورُشَلِيمَ هُوَ سَحْقِي، لِذَلِكَ أَنُوحُ وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ بِيَ الرُّعْبُ. | ٢١ 21 |
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
أَلا يُوْجَدُ بَلَسَانٌ فِي جِلْعَادَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ طَبِيبٌ؟ فَلِمَاذَا إِذَنْ لَمْ تُشفَ جُرُوحُ شَعْبِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
