< Jeremiah 39 >

1 In the ninth year of Sedecias king of Juda, in the tenth month, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army to Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِصِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، أَتَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرُوهَا.١
2 And in the I eleventh year of Sedecias, in the fourth month, the fifth day of the month, the city was opened.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِصِدْقِيَّا، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ، فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ فُتِحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ.٢
3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
وَدَخَلَ كُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَوْسَطِ: نَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ، وَسَمْجَرْ نَبُو، وَسَرْسَخِيمُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ، وَنَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمَجُوسِ، وَكُلُّ بَقِيَّةِ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.٣
4 And when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king’s garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went; out to the way of the desert.
فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، هَرَبُوا وَخَرَجُوا لَيْلًا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي طَرِيقِ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ، وَخَرَجَ هُوَ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ.٤
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them: and they took Sedecias in the plain of the desert of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
فَسَعَى جَيْشُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا، فَأَخَذُوهُ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ.٥
6 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias, in Reblatha, before his eyes: and the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Juda.
فَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا فِي رَبْلَةَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ كُلَّ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا.٦
7 He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon.
وَأَعْمَى عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا، وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسَلَاسِلِ نُحَاسٍ لِيَأْتِيَ بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ.٧
8 And the Chaldeans burnt the king’s house, and the houses of the people with fire, and they threw down the wall of Jerusalem.
أَمَّا بَيْتُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبُيُوتُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَحْرَقَهَا ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَنَقَضُوا أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.٨
9 And Nabuzardan the general of the army carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to him, and the rest of the people that remained.
وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا لَهُ، وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا، سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ إِلَى بَابِلَ.٩
10 But Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time.
وَلَكِنَّ بَعْضَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ، تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ كُرُومًا وَحُقُولًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١٠
11 Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremias, saying:
وَأَوْصَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا نَبُوزَرَادَانَ رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ قَائِلًا:١١
12 Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him.
«خُذْهُ وَضَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا تَفْعَلْ بِهِ شَيْئًا رَدِيئًا، بَلْ كَمَا يُكَلِّمُكَ هَكَذَا ٱفْعَلْ مَعَهُ».١٢
13 Therefore Nabuzardan the general sent, and Nabusezban, and Rabsares, and Neregel, and Sereser, and Rebmag, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon,
فَأَرْسَلَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ وَنَبُوشَزْبَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ وَنَرْجَلُ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمَجُوسِ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ،١٣
14 Sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Codolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, that he might go home, and dwell among the people.
أَرْسَلُوا فَأَخَذُوا إِرْمِيَا مِنْ دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ وَأَسْلَمُوهُ لِجَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ لِيَخْرُجَ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَسَكَنَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ.١٤
15 But the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying:
وَصَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا إِذْ كَانَ مَحْبُوسًا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ قَائِلَةً:١٥
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day.
«ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ عَبْدَ مَلِكَ ٱلْكُوشِيَّ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ كَلَامِي عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِلشَّرِّ لَا لِلْخَيْرِ، فَيَحْدُثُ أَمَامَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١٦
17 And I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest:
وَلَكِنَّنِي أُنْقِذُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَلَا تُسْلَمُ لِيَدِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْتَ خَائِفٌ مِنْهُمْ.١٧
18 But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
بَلْ إِنَّمَا أُنَجِّيكَ نَجَاةً، فَلَا تَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ لَكَ نَفْسُكَ غَنِيمَةً، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ تَوَكَّلْتَ عَلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».١٨
