Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speak with thee of [thy] judgments. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
| أَبَرُّ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مِنْ أَنْ أُخَاصِمَكَ. لَكِنْ أُكَلِّمُكَ مِنْ جِهَةِ أَحْكَامِكَ: لِمَاذَا تَنْجَحُ طَرِيقُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ اِطْمَأَنَّ كُلُّ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ غَدْرًا! | ١ |
2 Thou hast planted them, they also have taken root: they advance, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, but far from their reins.
| غَرَسْتَهُمْ فَأَصَّلُوا. نَمَوْا وَأَثْمَرُوا ثَمَرًا. أَنْتَ قَرِيبٌ فِي فَمِهِمْ وَبَعِيدٌ مِنْ كُلَاهُمْ. | ٢ |
3 But thou, Jehovah, knowest me; thou hast seen me, and proved my heart toward thee. Drag them out like sheep for the slaughter, and set them apart for the day of slaughter.
| وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَنِي. رَأَيْتَنِي وَٱخْتَبَرْتَ قَلْبِي مِنْ جِهَتِكَ. اِفْرِزْهُمْ كَغَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ، وَخَصِّصْهُمْ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقَتْلِ. | ٣ |
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of all the fields wither? Because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts and the birds perish; for they say, He will not see our end.
| حَتَّى مَتَى تَنُوحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَيَيْبَسُ عُشْبُ كُلِّ ٱلْحَقْلِ؟ مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا فَنِيَتِ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ وَٱلطُّيُورُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «لَا يَرَى آخِرَتَنَا». | ٤ |
5 If thou hast run with footmen, and they have wearied thee, how wilt thou then contend with horses? And if in a land of peace thou thinkest thyself in security, how wilt thou then do in the swelling of the Jordan?
| «إِنْ جَرَيْتَ مَعَ ٱلْمُشَاةِ فَأَتْعَبُوكَ، فَكَيْفَ تُبَارِي ٱلْخَيْلَ؟ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مُنْبَطِحًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ، فَكَيْفَ تَعْمَلُ فِي كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ؟ | ٥ |
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak good [words] unto thee.
| لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَكَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ قَدْ غَادَرُوكَ هُمْ أَيْضًا. هُمْ أَيْضًا نَادَوْا وَرَاءَكَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ. لَا تَأْتَمِنْهُمْ إِذَا كَلَّمُوكَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ. | ٦ |
7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage, I have given the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
| «قَدْ تَرَكْتُ بَيْتِي. رَفَضْتُ مِيرَاثِي. دَفَعْتُ حَبِيبَةَ نَفْسِي لِيَدِ أَعْدَائِهَا. | ٧ |
8 My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it hath raised its voice against me: therefore have I hated it.
| صَارَ لِي مِيرَاثِي كَأَسَدٍ فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ. نَطَقَ عَلَيَّ بِصَوْتِهِ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُهُ. | ٨ |
9 My heritage is unto me [as] a speckled bird of prey; the birds of prey round about are against her. Go, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
| جَارِحَةٌ ضَبُعٌ مِيرَاثِي لِي. اَلْجَوَارِحُ حَوَالَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ. هَلُمَّ ٱجْمَعُوا كُلَّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. اِيتُوا بِهَا لِلْأَكْلِ. | ٩ |
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness:
| رُعَاةٌ كَثِيرُونَ أَفْسَدُوا كَرْمِي، دَاسُوا نَصِيبِي. جَعَلُوا نَصِيبِي ٱلْمُشْتَهَى بَرِّيَّةً خَرِبَةً. | ١٠ |
11 they have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourneth unto me: the whole land is made desolate, for no man layeth it to heart.
| جَعَلُوهُ خَرَابًا يَنُوحُ عَلَيَّ وَهُوَ خَرِبٌ. خَرِبَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا أَحَدَ يَضَعُ فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ١١ |
12 Spoilers are come upon all heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from one end of the land even to the [other] end of the land: no flesh hath peace.
| عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلرَّوَابِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَتَى ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ، لِأَنَّ سَيْفًا لِلرَّبِّ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَيْسَ سَلَامٌ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَشَرِ. | ١٢ |
13 They have sown wheat, and they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain, [and] do not profit. Be ye therefore ashamed of your revenues, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
| زَرَعُوا حِنْطَةً وَحَصَدُوا شَوْكًا. أَعْيَوْا وَلَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا، بَلْ خَزُوا مِنْ غَلَّاتِكُمْ، مِنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٣ |
14 Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ جِيرَانِي ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْمِسُونَ ٱلْمِيرَاثَ ٱلَّذِي أَوْرَثْتُهُ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَأَنَذَا أَقْتَلِعُهُمْ عَنْ أَرْضِهِمْ وَأَقْتَلِعُ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land.
| وَيَكُونُ بَعْدَ ٱقْتِلَاعِي إِيَّاهُمْ، أَنِّي أَرْجِعُ فَأَرْحَمُهُمْ، وَأَرُدُّهُمْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مِيرَاثِهِ، وَكُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ١٥ |
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, [As] Jehovah liveth — even as they taught my people to swear by Baal — they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
| وَيَكُونُ إِذَا تَعَلَّمُوا عِلْمًا طُرُقَ شَعْبِي أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِٱسْمِي: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، كَمَا عَلَّمُوا شَعْبِي أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِبَعْلٍ، أَنَّهُمْ يُبْنَوْنَ فِي وَسْطِ شَعْبِي. | ١٦ |
17 And if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Jehovah.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، فَإِنِّي أَقْتَلِعُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ ٱقْتِلَاعًا وَأُبِيدُهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ |
