مَراثِي إرْمِي 5
| اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ مَا أَصَابَنَا. انْظُرْ وَعَايِنْ عَارَنَا. | ١ 1 |
Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
| قَدْ تَحَوَّلَ مِيرَاثُنَا إِلَى الْغُرَبَاءِ وَبُيُوتُنَا إِلَى الأَجَانِبِ. | ٢ 2 |
Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
| أَصْبَحْنَا أَيْتَاماً لَا أَبَ لَنَا، وَأُمَّهَاتُنَا كَالأَرَامِلِ. | ٣ 3 |
We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows.
| بِالْفِضَّةِ شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا. وَبِثَمَنٍ ابْتَعْنَا حَطَبَنَا. | ٤ 4 |
We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
| دَاسَ مُضْطَهِدُونَا أَعْنَاقَنَا، أَعْيَيْنَا وَلَمْ نَجِدْ رَاحَةً. | ٥ 5 |
Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest.
| خَضَعْنَا بَاسِطِينَ أَيْدِينَا إِلَى أَشُّورَ وَمِصْرَ لِنَشْبَعَ خُبْزاً. | ٦ 6 |
We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
| قَدْ أَخْطَأَ آبَاؤُنَا، وَتَوَارَوْا عَنِ الْوُجُودِ، وَنَحْنُ نَتَحَمَّلُ عِقَابَ آثَامِهِمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.
| تَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْنَا عَبِيدٌ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُنَا مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand.
| بِأَنْفُسِنَا نَأْتِي بِخُبْزِنَا مُجَازِفِينَ بِحَيَاتِنَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ السَّيْفِ الْكَامِنِ لَنَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
We gat our bread with [the peril of] our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
| جِلْدُنَا مُلْتَهِبٌ كَتَنُّورٍ مِنْ نِيرَانِ الْجُوعِ الْمُحْرِقَةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
| اغْتَصَبُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَالْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١١ 11 |
They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah.
| عُلِّقَ النُّبَلاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَلَمْ يُوَقِّرُوا الشُّيُوخَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
| سَخَّرُوا الشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَهَوَى الصِّبْيَانُ تَحْتَ الْحَطَبِ. | ١٣ 13 |
They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
| هَجَرَ الشُّيُوخُ بَوَّابَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَفَّ الشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
| انْقَطَعَ فَرَحُ قَلْبِنَا وَتَحَوَّلَ رَقْصُنَا إِلَى نَوْحٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
| تَهَاوَى إِكْلِيلُ رَأْسِنَا، فَوَيْلٌ لَنَا لأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا. | ١٦ 16 |
The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
| لِهَذَا غُشِيَ عَلَى قُلُوبِنَا، وَأَظْلَمَتْ عُيُونُنَا. | ١٧ 17 |
For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim.
| لأَنَّ جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ أَضْحَى أَطْلالاً تَرْتَعُ فِيهِ الثَّعَالِبُ. | ١٨ 18 |
Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَمْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَعَرْشُكَ ثَابِتٌ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
| لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ الأَيَّامِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?
| رُدَّنَا يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْجِعَ. جِدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَمَا فِي الْعُهُودِ السَّالِفَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
| إِلا إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ رَفَضْتَنَا كُلَّ الرَّفْضِ وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا أَشَدَّ الْغَضَبِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
