Jeremiah 15
1 Then the Lord said to me, Even if Moses and Samuel came before me, I would have no desire for this people: send them away from before me, and let them go.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «وَإِنْ وَقَفَ مُوسَى وَصَمُوئِيلُ أَمَامِي لَا تَكُونُ نَفْسِي نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ. اِطْرَحْهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي فَيَخْرُجُوا. | ١ |
2 And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away.
| وَيَكُونُ إِذَا قَالُوا لَكَ: إِلَى أَيْنَ نَخْرُجُ؟ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱلَّذِينَ لِلْمَوْتِ فَإِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لِلسَّيْفِ فَإِلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لِلْجُوعِ فَإِلَى ٱلْجُوعِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لِلسَّبْيِ فَإِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. | ٢ |
3 And I will put over them four divisions, says the Lord: the sword causing death, dogs pulling the dead bodies about, and the birds of heaven, and the beasts of the earth to take their bodies for food and put an end to them.
| وَأُوَكِّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَنْوَاعٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱلسَّيْفَ لِلْقَتْلِ، وَٱلْكِلَابَ لِلسَّحْبِ، وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِلْأَكْلِ وَٱلْإِهْلَاكِ. | ٣ |
4 And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem.
| وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ لِلْقَلَقِ فِي كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ |
5 For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are?
| فَمَنْ يَشْفُقُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَمَنْ يُعَزِّيكِ، وَمَنْ يَمِيلُ لِيَسْأَلَ عَنْ سَلَامَتِكِ؟ | ٥ |
6 You have given me up, says the Lord, you have gone back: so my hand is stretched out against you for your destruction; I am tired of changing my purpose.
| أَنْتِ تَرَكْتِنِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ سِرْتِ. فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكِ وَأُهْلِكُكِ. مَلِلْتُ مِنَ ٱلنَّدَامَةِ. | ٦ |
7 And I have sent a cleaning wind on them in the public places of the land; I have taken their children from them; I have given my people to destruction; they have not been turned from their ways.
| وَأُذْرِيهِمْ بِمِذْرَاةٍ فِي أَبْوَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أُثْكِلُ وَأُبِيدُ شَعْبِي. لَمْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 I have let their widows be increased in number more than the sand of the seas: I have sent against them, against the mother and the young men, one who makes waste in the heat of the day, causing pain and fears to come on her suddenly.
| كَثُرَتْ لِي أَرَامِلُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ رَمْلِ ٱلْبِحَارِ. جَلَبْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ، عَلَى أُمِّ ٱلشُّبَّانِ، نَاهِبًا فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ. أَوْقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا بَغْتَةً رَعْدَةً وَرُعُبَاتٍ. | ٨ |
9 The mother of seven is without strength; her spirit is gone from her, her sun has gone down while it is still day: she has been shamed and overcome: and the rest of them I will give up to the sword before their haters, says the Lord.
| ذَبُلَتْ وَالِدَةُ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ. أَسْلَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا. غَرَبَتْ شَمْسُهَا إِذْ بَعْدُ نَهَارٌ. خَزِيَتْ وَخَجِلَتْ. أَمَّا بَقِيَّتُهُمْ فَلِلسَّيْفِ أَدْفَعُهَا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٩ |
10 Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.
| وَيْلٌ لِي يَا أُمِّي لِأَنَّكِ وَلَدْتِنِي إِنْسَانَ خِصَامٍ وَإِنْسَانَ نِزَاعٍ لِكُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَمْ أَقْرِضْ وَلَا أَقْرَضُونِي، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَلْعَنُنِي. | ١٠ |
| قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «إِنِّي أَحُلُّكَ لِلْخَيْرِ. إِنِّي أَجْعَلُ ٱلْعَدُوَّ يَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكَ فِي وَقْتِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلضِّيقِ. | ١١ |
12 Is it possible for iron to be broken; even iron from the north, and brass?
| «هَلْ يَكْسِرُ ٱلْحَدِيدُ ٱلْحَدِيدَ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱلنُّحَاسَ؟ | ١٢ |
13 I will give your wealth and your stores to your attackers, without a price, because of all your sins, even in every part of your land.
| ثَرْوَتُكَ وَخَزَائِنُكَ أَدْفَعُهَا لِلنَّهْبِ، لَا بِثَمَنٍ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ خَطَايَاكَ وَفِي كُلِّ تُخُومِكَ. | ١٣ |
14 They will go away with your haters into a land which is strange to you: for my wrath is on fire with a flame which will be burning on you.
| وَأُعَبِّرُكَ مَعَ أَعْدَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا، لِأَنَّ نَارًا قَدْ أُشْعِلَتْ بِغَضَبِي تُوقَدُ عَلَيْكُمْ». | ١٤ |
15 O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word;
| أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَ. ٱذْكُرْنِي وَتَعَهَّدْنِي وَٱنْتَقِمْ لِي مِنْ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ. بِطُولِ أَنَاتِكَ لَا تَأْخُذْنِي. اِعْرِفِ ٱحْتِمَالِي ٱلْعَارَ لِأَجْلِكَ. | ١٥ |
16 But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.
| وُجِدَ كَلَامُكَ فَأَكَلْتُهُ، فَكَانَ كَلَامُكَ لِي لِلْفَرَحِ وَلِبَهْجَةِ قَلْبِي، لِأَنِّي دُعِيتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١٦ |
17 I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath.
| لَمْ أَجْلِسْ فِي مَحْفَلِ ٱلْمَازِحِينَ مُبْتَهِجًا. مِنْ أَجْلِ يَدِكَ جَلَسْتُ وَحْدِي، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ مَلَأْتَنِي غَضَبًا. | ١٧ |
18 Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.
| لِمَاذَا كَانَ وَجَعِي دَائِمًا وَجُرْحِي عَدِيمَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ، يَأْبَى أَنْ يُشْفَى؟ أَتَكُونُ لِي مِثْلَ كَاذِبٍ، مِثْلَ مِيَاهٍ غَيْرِ دَائِمَةٍ؟ | ١٨ |
19 For this cause the Lord has said, If you will come back, then I will again let you take your place before me; and if you give out what is of value and not that which has no value, you will be as my mouth: let them come back to you, but do not go back to them.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ أُرَجِّعْكَ، فَتَقِفْ أَمَامِي. وَإِذَا أَخْرَجْتَ ٱلثَّمِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْذُولِ فَمِثْلَ فَمِي تَكُونُ. هُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ١٩ |
20 And I will make you a strong wall of brass to this people; they will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you to keep you safe, says the Lord.
| وَأَجْعَلُكَ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ سُورَ نُحَاسٍ حَصِينًا، فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَيْكَ، لِأَنِّي مَعَكَ لِأُخَلِّصَكَ وَأُنْقِذَكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٠ |
21 I will keep you safe from the hands of the evil-doers, and I will give you salvation from the hands of the cruel ones.
| فَأُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَأَفْدِيكَ مِنْ كَفِّ ٱلْعُتَاةِ». | ٢١ |
