Jeremiah 1
1 These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.
| هَذِهِ نُبُوءَةُ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَلْقِيَّا أَحَدِ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي عَنَاثُوثَ بِأَرْضِ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. | ١ |
2 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah,
| وَقَدْ أَعْلَنَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ هَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةَ فِي عَهْدِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ. | ٢ |
3 and through the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, until the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.
| وَذَلِكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حِقْبَةِ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَحَتَّى نِهَايَةِ الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ وِلايَةِ صِدْقِيَّا بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الَّذِي فِيهِ تَمَّ سَبْيُ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣ |
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلاً: | ٤ |
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
| «قَبْلَمَا شَكَّلْتُكَ فِي أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّكَ عَرَفْتُكَ، وَقَبْلَمَا وُلِدْتَ أَفْرَزْتُكَ، وَأَقَمْتُكَ نَبِيًّا لِلأُمَمِ». | ٥ |
6 “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”
| فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ، لأَنِّي مَازِلْتُ وَلَداً» | ٦ |
7 But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ أَجَابَنِي: «لا تَقُلْ إِنِّي لَسْتُ سِوَى وَلَدٍ، لأَنَّكَ سَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَنْ أَبْعَثُ بِكَ إِلَيْهِ، وَتَنْطِقُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. | ٧ |
8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,”
| لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ». | ٨ |
9 Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
| ثُمَّ مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَ فَمِي وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أَضَعُ كَلِمَاتِي فِي فَمِكَ. | ٩ |
10 See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”
| انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ وَلَّيْتُكَ عَلَى أُمَمٍ وَشُعُوبٍ لِتَسْتَأْصِلَ وَتَهْدِمَ وَتُبَدِّدَ وَتَقْلِبَ وَتَبْنِيَ وَتَغْرِسَ». | ١٠ |
11 And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
| وَسَأَلَنِي الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا تَرَى يَا إِرْمِيَا؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى غُصْنَ لَوْزٍ». | ١١ |
12 “You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
| فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ الرُّؤْيَةَ، لأَنِّي سَاهِرٌ عَلَى كَلِمَتِي لأُتَمِّمَهَا». | ١٢ |
13 Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”
| وَعَادَ الرَّبُّ يَسْأَلُنِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى قِدْراً تَغْلِي، وَوَجْهُهَا مُتَحَوِّلٌ عَنِ الشِّمَالِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ». | ١٣ |
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land.
| فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «مِنَ الشِّمَالِ يَكُونُ تَدَفُّقُ الشَّرِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ |
15 For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah.
| لأَنِّي هَا أَنَا دَاعٍ جَمِيعَ عَشَائِرِ الْمَمَالِكِ الشِّمَالِيَّةِ لِيَأْتُوا، فَيَنْصِبُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَرْشَهُ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَاتِ مَدِينَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ أَسْوَارِهَا الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٥ |
16 I will pronounce My judgments against them for all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.
| وَأُصْدِرُ عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمَ قَضَائِي مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي، وَأَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَأَهَّبْ، وَقُمْ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لِئَلَّا أُفْزِعَكَ أَمَامَهُمْ. | ١٧ |
18 Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
| انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ قَوِيًّا كَمَدِينَةٍ حَصِينَةٍ، وَكَعَمُودٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَكَأَسْوَارٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، لِتُجَابِهَ كُلَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، وَمُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا وَأُمَرَاءَهَا وَكَهَنَتَهَا وَشَعْبَ الْبِلادِ، | ١٨ |
19 They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
| فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْهَرُونَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٩ |
