< Jeremiah 10 >

1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel!
أَنْصِتُوا إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١
2 The LORD says, “Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لا تَتَعَلَّمُوا طَرِيقَ الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا مِنْ آيَاتِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي تَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهَا الشُّعُوبُ.٢
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
لأَنَّ عَادَاتِ الأُمَمِ بَاطِلَةٌ، إِذْ تُقْطَعُ الشَّجَرَةُ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ ثُمَّ تُشَذِّبُهَا وَتَنْحَتُهَا يَدَا صَانِعٍ بِفَأْسٍ.٣
4 They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it cannot move.
ثُمَّ يُزَيِّنُونَهَا بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَتُثَبَّتُ بِالْمَسَامِيرِ وَالْمَطَارِقِ لِئَلَّا تَتَحَرَّكَ.٤
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak. They must be carried, because they cannot move. Do not be afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
فَتَكُونُ كَفَزَّاعَةٍ فِي حَقْلِ قِثَّاءٍ لَا تَنْطِقُ، بَلْ تُحْمَلُ لأَنَّهَا عَاجِزَةٌ عَنِ الْمَشْيِ. فَلا تَخَافُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّ وَلا تَنْفَعُ».٥
6 There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great in might.
أَنْتَ لَا نَظِيرَ لَكَ يَا رَبُّ. عَظِيمٌ أَنْتَ، وَاسْمُكَ عَظِيمٌ فِي الْجَبَرُوتِ.٦
7 Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
مَنْ لَا يَتَّقِيكَ يَا مَلِكَ الأُمَمِ؟ فَالْخَوْفُ يَلِيقُ بِكَ، إِذْ لَا يُوْجَدُ بَيْنَ حُكَمَاءِ الشُّعُوبِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ نَظِيرُكَ.٧
8 But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
جَمِيعُهُمْ بُلَدَاءُ وَحَمْقَى، يَتَلَقَّفُونَ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ أَصْنَامٍ خَشَبِيَّةٍ.٨
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skillful men.
يُحْضِرُونَ لِصُنْعِهَا الْفِضَّةَ الْمُطَرَّقَةَ مِنْ تَرْشِيشَ، وَالذَّهَبَ مِنْ أُوفَازَ، فَهِيَ عَمَلُ صَانِعٍ مَاهِرٍ وَصَوْغُ يَدَيْ صَائِغٍ، وَتُكْسَى بِثِيَابٍ زَرْقَاءَ وَأُرْجُوَانِيَّةٍ. كُلُّهَا صَنْعَةُ صُنَّاعٍ مَهَرَةٍ.٩
10 But the LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَهُوَ الإِلَهُ الْحَقُّ، الإِلَهُ الْحَيُّ وَالْمَلِكُ السَّرْمَدِيُّ. تَرْتَعِدُ الأَرْضُ أَمَامَ غَضَبِهِ وَلا تَتَحَمَّلُ الأُمَمُ فَرْطَ سُخْطِهِ.١٠
11 “You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
«وَهَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ الآلِهَةَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَصْنَعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُسْتَأْصَلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ».١١
12 God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
فَالرَّبُّ هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ، وَأَسَّسَ الدُّنْيَا بِحِكْمَتِهِ وَمَدَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِفِطْنَتِهِ.١٢
13 When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
مَا إِنْ يَنْطِقُ بِصَوْتِهِ حَتَّى تَتَجَمَّعَ غِمَارُ الْمِيَاهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَصْعَدَ السُّحُبُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. يَجْعَلُ لِلْمَطَرِ بُرُوقاً، وَيُطْلِقُ الرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ.١٣
14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ خَامِلٌ وَعَدِيمُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، وَكُلُّ صَائِغٍ أَخْزَاهُ تِمْثَالُهُ لأَنَّ صَنَمَهُ الْمَسْبُوكَ كَاذِبٌ وَلا حَيَاةَ فِيهِ.١٤
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
جَمِيعُ الأَصْنَامِ بَاطِلَةٌ، صَنْعَةُ ضَلالٍ، وَفِي زَمَنِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ.١٥
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
أَمَّا نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ فَلَيْسَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الأَوْثَانِ، بَلْ هُوَ جَابِلُ كُلِّ الأَشْيَاءِ، وَشَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ شَعْبُ مِيرَاثِهِ، وَاسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.١٦
17 Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
اجْمَعِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ حِزَمَكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمُقِيمَةُ تَحْتَ الْحِصَارِ.١٧
18 For the LORD says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْذِفُ بِمِقْلاعٍ سُكَّانَ الأَرْضِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ، وَأُعَرِّضُهُمْ لِلضِّيقِ حَتَّى يَعْرِفُوا مُعَانَاتَهُ».١٨
19 Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
وَيْلٌ لِي مِنْ أَجْلِ انْسِحَاقِي، فَجُرْحِي لَا شِفَاءَ مِنْهُ، وَلَكِنِّي قُلْتُ: «حَقّاً هَذِهِ بَلِيَّةٌ وَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتَحَمَّلَهَا».١٩
20 My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
قَدْ تَهَدَّمَ خِبَائِي وَتَقَطَّعَتْ حِبَالِي، وَهَجَرَنِي أَبْنَائِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ لَهُمْ وُجُودٌ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُقِيمُ خِبَائِي ثَانِيَةً وَيَبْسُطُ سُجُوفِي.٢٠
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
فَرُعَاةُ شَعْبِي بُلَدَاءُ لَمْ يَلْتَمِسُوا الرَّبَّ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ يُفْلِحُوا وَتَشَتَّتَتْ جَمِيعُ رَعِيَّتِهِمْ.٢١
22 The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
اسْمَعُوا، هَا أَخْبَارٌ تَتَوَاتَرُ عَنْ جَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ مُقْبِلٍ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ لِيُحَوِّلَ مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا إِلَى خَرَائِبَ وَمَأْوَى لِبَنَاتِ آوَى.٢٢
23 LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
أَدْرَكْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ لَا يَمْلِكُ زِمَامَ طَرِيقِهِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يُوَجِّهَ خُطَى نَفْسِهِ.٢٣
24 LORD, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
قَوِّمْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِحَقِّكَ لَا بِغَضَبِكَ، لِئَلَّا تُلاشِيَنِي.٢٤
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
لِيَنْصَبَّ سُخْطُكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، وَعَلَى الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي لَا تَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَرَسُوا ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَالْتَهَمُوهَا وَخَرَّبُوا مَسْكَنَهَا.٢٥
