Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُوقِظُ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَعَلَى ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ رِيحًا مُهْلِكَةً. | ١ |
2 and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
| وَأُرْسِلُ إِلَى بَابِلَ مُذَرِّينَ فَيُذَرُّونَهَا وَيُفَرِّغُونَ أَرْضَهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ. | ٢ |
3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
| عَلَى ٱلنَّازِعِ فِي قَوْسِهِ، فَلْيَنْزِعِ ٱلنَّازِعُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمُفْتَخِرِ بِدِرْعِهِ، فَلَا تُشْفِقُوا عَلَى مُنْتَخَبِيهَا، بَلْ حَرِّمُوا كُلَّ جُنْدِهَا. | ٣ |
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
| فَتَسْقُطَ ٱلْقَتْلَى فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَٱلْمَطْعُونُونَ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا. | ٤ |
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
| لِأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا لَيْسَا بِمَقْطُوعَيْنِ عَنْ إِلَهِهِمَا، عَنْ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُهُمَا مَلْآنَةً إِثْمًا عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ |
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
| ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسْطِ بَابِلَ، وَٱنْجُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِنَفْسِهِ. لَا تَهْلِكُوا بِذَنْبِهَا، لِأَنَّ هَذَا زَمَانُ ٱنْتِقَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، هُوَ يُؤَدِّي لَهَا جَزَاءَهَا. | ٦ |
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
| بَابِلُ كَأْسُ ذَهَبٍ بِيَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُسْكِرُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِنْ خَمْرِهَا شَرِبَتِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ جُنَّتِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ. | ٧ |
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
| سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ بَغْتَةً وَتَحَطَّمَتْ. وَلْوِلُوا عَلَيْهَا. خُذُوا بَلَسَانًا لِجُرْحِهَا لَعَلَّهَا تُشْفَى! | ٨ |
9 We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
| دَاوَيْنَا بَابِلَ فَلَمْ تُشْفَ. دَعُوهَا، وَلْنَذْهَبْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، لِأَنَّ قَضَاءَهَا وَصَلَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱرْتَفَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّحَابِ. | ٩ |
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
| قَدْ أَخْرَجَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِرَّنَا. هَلُمَّ فَنَقُصُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ١٠ |
11 Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
| سُنُّوا ٱلسِّهَامَ. أَعِدُّوا ٱلْأَتْرَاسَ. قَدْ أَيْقَظَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ مُلُوكِ مَادِي، لِأَنَّ قَصْدَهُ عَلَى بَابِلَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَهَا. لِأَنَّهُ نَقْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، نَقْمَةُ هَيْكَلِهِ. | ١١ |
12 Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
| عَلَى أَسْوَارِ بَابِلَ ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ. شَدِّدُوا ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ. أَقِيمُوا ٱلْحُرَّاسَ. أَعِدُّوا ٱلْكَمِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ قَصَدَ وَأَيْضًا فَعَلَ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى سُكَّانِ بَابِلَ. | ١٢ |
13 Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
| أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، ٱلْوَافِرَةُ ٱلْخَزَائِنِ، قَدْ أَتَتْ آخِرَتُكِ، كَيْلُ ٱغْتِصَابِكِ. | ١٣ |
14 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
| قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ بِنَفْسِهِ: إِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّكِ أُنَاسًا كَٱلْغَوْغَاءِ، فَيَرْفَعُونَ عَلَيْكِ جَلَبَةً. | ١٤ |
15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
| «صَانِعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، وَمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وبِفَهْمِهِ مَدَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ١٥ |
16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
| إِذَا أَعْطَى قَوْلًا تَكُونُ كَثْرَةُ مِيَاهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. صَنَعَ بُرُوقًا لِلْمَطَرِ، وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ. | ١٦ |
17 Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
| بَلُدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ. خَزِيَ كُلُّ صَائِغٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ لِأَنَّ مَسْبُوكَهُ كَذِبٌ وَلَا رُوحٌ فِيهِ. | ١٧ |
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
| هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ، صَنْعَةُ ٱلْأَضَالِيلِ. فِي وَقْتِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ. | ١٨ |
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
| لَيْسَ كَهَذِهِ نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُ مُصَوِّرُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَقَضِيبُ مِيرَاثِهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ١٩ |
20 Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
| أَنْتَ لِي فَأْسٌ وَأَدَوَاتُ حَرْبٍ، فَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ، وَأُهْلِكُ بِكَ ٱلْمَمَالِكَ، | ٢٠ |
21 and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
| وَأُكَسِّرُ بِكَ ٱلْفَرَسَ وَرَاكِبَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ وَرَاكِبَهَا، | ٢١ |
22 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
| وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلشَّيْخَ وَٱلْفَتَى، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْغُلَامَ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءَ، | ٢٢ |
23 and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and rulers.
| وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّاعِيَ وَقَطِيعَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْفَلَّاحَ وَفَدَّانَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلْحُكَّامَ. | ٢٣ |
24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
| وَأُكَافِئُ بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ سُكَّانِ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِّهِمِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلُوهُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، أَمَامَ عُيُونِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٤ |
25 Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
| هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْمُهْلِكُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ وَأُدَحْرِجُكَ عَنِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ جَبَلًا مُحْرَقًا، | ٢٥ |
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
| فَلَا يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْكَ حَجَرًا لِزَاوِيَةٍ، وَلَا حَجَرًا لِأُسُسٍ، بَلْ تَكُونُ خَرَابًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٦ |
27 Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
| «اِرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ. قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأُمَمَ. نَادُوا عَلَيْهَا مَمَالِكَ أَرَارَاطَ وَمِنِّي وَأَشْكَنَازَ. أَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا قَائِدًا. أَصْعِدُوا ٱلْخَيْلَ كَغَوْغَاءَ مُقْشَعِرَّةٍ. | ٢٧ |
28 Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
| قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا ٱلشُّعُوبَ، مُلُوكَ مَادِي، وُلَاتَهَا وَكُلَّ حُكَّامِهَا وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ سُلْطَانِهَا، | ٢٨ |
29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
| فَتَرْتَجِفَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَتَوَجَّعَ، لِأَنَّ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِلَ، لِيَجْعَلَ أَرْضَ بَابِلَ خَرَابًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ. | ٢٩ |
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
| كَفَّ جَبَابِرَةُ بَابِلَ عَنِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ. نَضَبَتْ شَجَاعَتُهُمْ. صَارُوا نِسَاءً. حَرَقُوا مَسَاكِنَهَا. تَحَطَّمَتْ عَوَارِضُهَا. | ٣٠ |
31 Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
| يَرْكُضُ عَدَّاءٌ لِلِقَاءِ عَدَّاءٍ، وَمُخْبِرٌ لِلِقَاءِ مُخْبِرٍ، لِيُخْبِرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ بِأَنَّ مَدِينَتَهُ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ عَنْ أقْصَى، | ٣١ |
32 and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
| وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَعَابِرَ قَدْ أُمْسِكَتْ، وَٱلْقَصَبَ أَحْرَقُوهُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَرِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ. | ٣٢ |
33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ بِنْتَ بَابِلَ كَبَيْدَرٍ وَقْتَ دَوْسِهِ. بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا وَقْتُ ٱلْحَصَادِ». | ٣٣ |
34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
| «أَكَلَنِي أَفْنَانِي نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ. جَعَلَنِي إِنَاءً فَارِغًا. ٱبْتَلَعَنِي كَتِنِّينٍ، وَمَلَأَ جَوْفَهُ مِنْ نِعَمِي. طَوَّحَنِي. | ٣٤ |
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
| ظُلْمِي وَلَحْمِي عَلَى بَابِلَ» تَقُولُ سَاكِنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ. «وَدَمِي عَلَى سُكَّانِ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ» تَقُولُ أُورُشَلِيمُ. | ٣٥ |
36 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أُخَاصِمُ خُصُومَتَكِ، وَأَنْتَقِمُ نَقْمَتَكِ، وَأُنَشِّفُ بَحْرَهَا، وَأُجَفِّفُ يَنْبُوعَهَا. | ٣٦ |
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
| وَتَكُونُ بَابِلُ كُوَمًا، وَمَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَدَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ. | ٣٧ |
38 They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
| يُزَمْجِرُونَ مَعًا كَأَشْبَالٍ. يَزْأَرُونَ كَجِرَاءِ أُسُودٍ. | ٣٨ |
39 When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
| عِنْدَ حَرَارَتِهِمْ أُعِدُّ لَهُمْ شَرَابًا وَأُسْكِرُهُمْ، لِكَيْ يَفْرَحُوا وَيَنَامُوا نَوْمًا أَبَدِيًّا، وَلَا يَسْتَيْقِظُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٩ |
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
| أُنَزِّلُهُمْ كَخِرَافٍ لِلذَّبْحِ وَكَكِبَاشٍ مَعَ أَعْتِدَةٍ. | ٤٠ |
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
| «كَيْفَ أُخِذَتْ شِيشَكُ، وَأُمْسِكَتْ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ كَيْفَ صَارَتْ بَابِلُ دَهَشًا فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟ | ٤١ |
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
| طَلَعَ ٱلْبَحْرُ عَلَى بَابِلَ، فَتَغَطَّتْ بِكَثْرَةِ أَمْوَاجِهِ. | ٤٢ |
43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
| صَارَتْ مُدُنُهَا خَرَابًا، أَرْضًا نَاشِفَةً وَقَفْرًا، أَرْضًا لَا يَسْكُنُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَلَا يَعْبُرُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ. | ٤٣ |
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
| وَأُعَاقِبُ بِيلَ فِي بَابِلَ، وَأُخْرِجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ مَا ٱبْتَلَعَهُ، فَلَا تَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ بَعْدُ، وَيَسْقُطُ سُورُ بَابِلَ أَيْضًا. | ٤٤ |
45 Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
| اُخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا يَا شَعْبِي، وَلْيُنَجِّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٥ |
46 lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
| وَلَا يَضْعُفْ قَلْبُكُمْ فَتَخَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَبَرِ ٱلَّذِي سُمِعَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي خَبَرٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةِ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُخْرَى، خَبَرٌ وَظُلْمٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى مُتَسَلِّطٍ. | ٤٦ |
47 Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي وَأُعَاقِبُ مَنْحُوتَاتِ بَابِلَ، فَتَخْزَى كُلُّ أَرْضِهَا وَتَسْقُطُ كُلُّ قَتْلَاهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا. | ٤٧ |
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
| فَتَهْتِفُ عَلَى بَابِلَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٤٨ |
49 As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
| كَمَا أَسْقَطَتْ بَابِلُ قَتْلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَسْقُطُ أَيْضًا قَتْلَى بَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٤٩ |
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
| أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱذْهَبُوا. لَا تَقِفُوا. ٱذْكُرُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَلْتَخْطُرْ أُورُشَلِيمُ بِبَالِكُمْ. | ٥٠ |
51 — We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
| قَدْ خَزِينَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا عَارًا. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وُجُوهَنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلْغُرَبَاءَ قَدْ دَخَلُوا مَقَادِسَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٥١ |
52 — Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
| لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُعَاقِبُ مَنْحُوتَاتِهَا، وَيَتَنَهَّدُ ٱلْجَرْحَى فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِهَا. | ٥٢ |
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
| فَلَوْ صَعِدَتْ بَابِلُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلَوْ حَصَّنَتْ عَلْيَاءَ عِزِّهَا، فَمِنْ عِنْدِي يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٥٣ |
54 The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
| «صَوْتُ صُرَاخٍ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَٱنْحِطَامٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، | ٥٤ |
55 for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُخْرِبٌ بَابِلَ وَقَدْ أَبَادَ مِنْهَا ٱلصَّوْتَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ، وَقَدْ عَجَّتْ أَمْوَاجُهُمْ كَمِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَأُطْلِقَ ضَجِيجُ صَوْتِهِمْ. | ٥٥ |
56 For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the God of recompences, will certainly requite.
| لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْهَا، عَلَى بَابِلَ، ٱلْمُخْرِبُ، وَأُخِذَ جَبَابِرَتُهَا، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ قِسِيُّهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهُ مُجَازَاةٍ يُكَافِئُ مُكَافَأَةً. | ٥٦ |
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
| وَأُسْكِرُ رُؤَسَاءَهَا وَحُكَمَاءَهَا وَوُلَاتَهَا وَحُكَّامَهَا وَأَبْطَالَهَا فَيَنَامُونَ نَوْمًا أَبَدِيًّا، وَلَا يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٥٧ |
58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ أَسْوَارَ بَابِلَ ٱلْعَرِيضَةَ تُدَمَّرُ تَدْمِيرًا، وَأَبْوَابُهَا ٱلشَّامِخَةَ تُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَتَتْعَبُ ٱلشُّعُوبُ لِلْبَاطِلِ، وَٱلْقَبَائِلُ لِلنَّارِ حَتَّى تَعْيَا». | ٥٨ |
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
| اَلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَى بِهِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ سَرَايَا بْنَ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَّا، عِنْدَ ذَهَابِهِ مَعَ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، وَكَانَ سَرَايَا رَئِيسَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، | ٥٩ |
60 And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
| فَكَتَبَ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلْآتِي عَلَى بَابِلَ فِي سِفْرٍ وَاحِدٍ، كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ عَلَى بَابِلَ، | ٦٠ |
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
| وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِسَرَايَا: «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَنَظَرْتَ وَقَرَأْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، | ٦١ |
62 and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
| فَقُلْ: أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ لِتَقْرِضَهُ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ فِيهِ سَاكِنٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، بَلْ يَكُونُ خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً. | ٦٢ |
63 And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
| وَيَكُونُ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ هَذَا ٱلسِّفْرِ أَنَّكَ تَرْبُطُ بِهِ حَجَرًا وَتَطْرَحُهُ إِلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ | ٦٣ |
64 and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
| وَتَقُولُ: هَكَذَا تَغْرَقُ بَابِلُ وَلَا تَقُومُ، مِنَ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا جَالِبُهُ عَلَيْهَا وَيَعْيَوْنَ». إِلَى هُنَا كَلَامُ إِرْمِيَا. | ٦٤ |
