< Jeremiah 1 >

1 The wordes of Ieremiah the sonne of Hilkiah one of the Priests that were at Anathoth in the lande of Beniamin.
كَلَامُ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَلْقِيَّا مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَنَاثُوثَ فِي أَرْضِ بَنْيَامِينَ،١
2 To whom the worde of the Lord came in the dayes of Iosiah the sonne of Amon King of Iudah in the thirteenth yeere of his reigne:
ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ.٢
3 And also in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah vnto the ende of the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah, the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, euen vnto the carying away of Ierusalem captiue in the fift moneth.
وَكَانَتْ فِي أَيَّامِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، إِلَى تَمَامِ ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِصِدْقِيَّا بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، إِلَى سَبْيِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ.٣
4 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
فَكَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا:٤
5 Before I formed thee in the wombe, I knewe thee, and before thou camest out of the wombe, I sanctified thee, and ordeined thee to be a Prophet vnto the nations.
«قَبْلَمَا صَوَّرْتُكَ فِي ٱلْبَطْنِ عَرَفْتُكَ، وَقَبْلَمَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ قَدَّسْتُكَ. جَعَلْتُكَ نَبِيًّا لِلشُّعُوبِ».٥
6 Then said I, Oh, Lord God, behold, I can not speake, for I am a childe.
فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ لِأَنِّي وَلَدٌ».٦
7 But the Lord said vnto me, Say not, I am a childe: for thou shalt goe to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoeuer I command thee, shalt thou speake.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «لَا تَقُلْ إِنِّي وَلَدٌ، لِأَنَّكَ إِلَى كُلِّ مَنْ أُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهِ تَذْهَبُ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ.٧
8 Be not afraide of their faces: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, saith the Lord.
لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لِأُنْقِذَكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».٨
9 Then the Lord stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said vnto me, Beholde, I haue put my wordes in thy mouth.
وَمَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَ فَمِي، وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «هَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ كَلَامِي فِي فَمِكَ.٩
10 Beholde, this day haue I set thee ouer the nations and ouer the kingdomes to plucke vp, and to roote out, and to destroye and throwe downe, to builde, and to plant.
اُنْظُرْ! قَدْ وَكَّلْتُكَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَعَلَى ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، لِتَقْلَعَ وَتَهْدِمَ وَتُهْلِكَ وَتَنْقُضَ وَتَبْنِيَ وَتَغْرِسَ».١٠
11 After this the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, Ieremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almonde tree.
ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا إِرْمِيَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: «أَنَا رَاءٍ قَضِيبَ لَوْزٍ».١١
12 Then saide the Lord vnto me, Thou hast seene aright: for I will hasten my worde to performe it.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «أَحْسَنْتَ ٱلرُّؤْيَةَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا سَاهِرٌ عَلَى كَلِمَتِي لِأُجْرِيَهَا».١٢
13 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I saide, I see a seething pot looking out of the North.
ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ ثَانِيَةً قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «إِنِّي رَاءٍ قِدْرًا مَنْفُوخَةً، وَوَجْهُهَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ».١٣
14 Then saide the Lord vnto me, Out of the North shall a plague be spred vpon all the inhabitants of the land.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ يَنْفَتِحُ ٱلشَّرُّ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٤
15 For loe, I will call all the families of the kingdomes of the North, saith the Lord, and they shall come, and euery one shall set his throne in the entring of the gates of Ierusalem, and on all the walles thereof rounde about, and in all the cities of Iudah.
لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا دَاعٍ كُلَّ عَشَائِرِ مَمَالِكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَيَأْتُونَ وَيَضَعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كُرْسِيَّهُ فِي مَدْخَلِ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَسْوَارِهَا حَوَالَيْهَا، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا.١٥
16 And I will declare vnto them my iudgements touching all the wickednesse of them that haue forsaken me, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, and worshipped the workes of their owne handes.
وَأُقِيمُ دَعْوَايَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِّهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي وَبَخَّرُوا لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَسَجَدُوا لِأَعْمَالِ أَيْدِيهِمْ.١٦
17 Thou therefore trusse vp thy loynes, and arise and speake vnto them all that I commaund thee: be not afraide of their faces, lest I destroy thee before them.
«أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَنَطِّقْ حَقْوَيْكَ وَقُمْ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَرْتَعْ مِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ لِئَلَّا أُرِيعَكَ أَمَامَهُمْ.١٧
18 For I, beholde, I this day haue made thee a defenced citie, and an yron pillar and walles of brasse against the whole lande, against the Kings of Iudah, and against the princes thereof, against the Priestes thereof and against the people of the lande.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَدِينَةً حَصِينَةً وَعَمُودَ حَدِيدٍ وَأَسْوَارَ نُحَاسٍ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَلِرُؤَسَائِهَا وَلِكَهَنَتِهَا وَلِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٨
19 For they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, sayth the Lord.
فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَيْكَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأُنْقِذَكَ».١٩
