Jeremiah 6
1 O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
| «لُوذُوا بِالْنَّجَاةِ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ بِنْيَامِينَ، وَاهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي تَقُوعَ، وَأَشْعِلُوا عَلَمَ نَارٍ عَلَى بَيْتِ هَكَّارِيمَ، لأَنَّ الشَّرَّ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ لِيَعِيثَ فِي الأَرْضِ خَرَاباً. | ١ |
2 I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
| هَا أَنَا أُهْلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْجَمِيلَةَ الْمُتْرَفَةَ ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ، | ٢ |
3 The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
| فَيَحُلُّ بِها الرُّعَاةُ مَعَ قُطْعَانِهِمْ، وَيَضْرِبُونَ حَوْلَهَا خِيَامَهُمْ، وَيَرْعَى كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ حَيْثُ نَزَلَ. | ٣ |
4 Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
| أَعِدُّوا عَلَيْهَا حَرْباً. قُومُوا نُهَاجِمُهَا عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ. وَيْلٌ لَنَا فَقَدْ مَالَ النَّهَارُ وَانْتَشَرَتْ ظِلالُ الْمَسَاءِ. | ٤ |
5 Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
| هُبُّوا لِنَهْجُمَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَنَهْدِمَ قُصُورَهَا». | ٥ |
6 For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «اقْطَعُوا الشَّجَرَ، وَأَقِيمُوا مِتْرَسَةً حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُعَاقَبَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ، لأَنَّ دَاخِلَهَا مُفْعَمٌ بِالظُّلْمِ. | ٦ |
7 As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
| وَكَمَا تُنْبِعُ الْعَيْنُ مِيَاهَهَا كَذَلِكَ هِيَ تُنْبِعُ شَرَّهَا. يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي أَرْجَائِهَا الظُّلْمُ وَيَعُمُّهَا السَّلْبُ، وَأَمَامِي دَائِماً مَرَضٌ وَبَلايَا. | ٧ |
8 Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
| فَاحْذَرِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ لِئَلَّا أَجْفُوَكِ وَأَجْعَلَكِ مُوْحِشَةً وَأَرْضاً مَهْجُورَةً». | ٨ |
9 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «لِيَجْمَعُوا بِدِقَّةٍ لِقَاطَ بَقِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا يَجْمَعُونَ لِقَاطَ كَرْمَةٍ. رُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الأَغْصَانِ ثَانِيَةً كَلاقِطِ الْعِنَبِ». | ٩ |
10 Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
| لِمَنْ أَتَحَدَّثُ وَأُنْذِرُ حَتَّى يَسْمَعُوا؟ انْظُرْ! إِنَّ آذَانَهُمْ صَمَّاءُ فَلا يَسْمَعُونَ، وَكَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ مَثَارُ خِزْيٍ لَهُمْ فَلا يُسَرُّونَ بِها. | ١٠ |
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
| لِذَلِكَ امْتَلَأْتُ مِنْ سَخَطِ الرَّبِّ وَأَعْيَانِي كَبْتُهُ. «أَسْكُبُهُ عَلَى الأَوْلادِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَعَلَى الشُّبَّانِ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ، فَيُصِيبُ الرَّجُلَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ وَالشَّيْخَ وَالطَّاعِنَ فِي السِّنِّ. | ١١ |
12 And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
| وَتَتَحَوَّلُ بُيُوتُهُمْ وَحقُولُهُمْ لآخَرِينَ، وَكَذَلِكَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ، لأَنِّي أَبْسُطُ يَدِي ضِدَّ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ | ١٢ |
13 For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
| «لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً، صِغَارَهُمْ وَكِبَارَهُمْ، مُوْلَعُونَ بالرِّبْحِ الْحَرَامِ. حَتَّى النَّبِيُّ وَالْكَاهِنُ يَرْتَكِبَانِ الزُّورَ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمَا. | ١٣ |
14 They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
| يُعَالِجُونَ جِرَاحَ شَعْبِي بِاسْتِخْفَافٍ قَائِلِينَ:’سَلامٌ، سَلامٌ.‘فِي حِينِ لَا يُوْجَدُ سَلامٌ. | ١٤ |
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth the Lord.
| هَلْ خَجِلُوا لأَنَّهُمُ اقْتَرَفُوا الرِّجْسَ؟ كَلا! لَمْ يَخْزَوْا قَطُّ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا الْخَجَلَ، لِذَلِكَ سَيَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ السَّاقِطِينَ، وَحِينَ أُعَاقِبُهُمْ يُطَوَّحُ بِهِمْ». | ١٥ |
16 Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «قِفُوا فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ وَانْظُرُوا، وَاسْأَلُوا عَنِ الْمَسَالِكِ الصَّالِحَةِ الْقَدِيمَةِ وَاطْرُقُوهَا، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ:’لَنْ نَسِيرَ فِيهَا.‘ | ١٦ |
17 Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
| فَأَقَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُقَبَاءَ قَائِلاً: اسْمَعُوا دَوِيَّ الْبُوقِ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ:’لَنْ نَسْمَعَ!‘ | ١٧ |
18 Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
| لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ، وَاعْلَمِي أَيَّتُهَا الْجَمَاعَةُ مَاذَا يَحُلُّ بِهِمْ. | ١٨ |
19 Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
| اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ وَانْظُرِي، لأَنِّي جَالِبٌ شَرّاً عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ عَلَى أَفْكَارِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلِمَاتِي وَتَنَكَّرُوا لِشَرِيعَتِي. | ١٩ |
20 To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
| لأَيِّ غَرَضٍ يَصْعَدُ إِلَيَّ الْبَخُورُ مِنْ شَبَا، وَقَصَبُ الطِّيبِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ نَائِيَةٍ؟ مُحْرَقَاتُكُمْ مَرْفُوضَةٌ، وَتَقْدِمَاتُكُمْ لَا تَسُرُّنِي». | ٢٠ |
21 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
| لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أُقِيمُ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ مَعَاثِرَ يَتَعَثَّرُ بِها الآبَاءُ وَالأَبْنَاءُ مَعاً، وَيَهْلِكُ بِها الْجَارُ وَصَدِيقُهُ». | ٢١ |
22 Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
| «انْظُرُوا، هَا شَعْبٌ زَاحِفٌ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، وَأُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَهُبُّ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، | ٢٢ |
23 With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
| تَسَلَّحَتْ بِالْقَوْسِ وَالرُّمْحِ، وَهِيَ قَاسِيَةٌ لَا تَرْحَمُ. جَلَبَتُهَا كَهَدِيرِ الْبَحْرِ وَهِيَ مُقْبِلَةٌ عَلَى صَهَوَاتِ الْخَيْلِ. قَدِ اصْطَفَّتْ كَإِنْسَانٍ وَاحِدٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ». | ٢٣ |
24 We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
| سَمِعْنَا أَخْبَارَهُمُ الْمُرْعِبَةَ فَدَبَّ الضَّعْفُ فِي أَيْدِينَا، وَتَوَلّانَا كَرْبٌ وَأَلَمٌ كَأَلَمِ امْرَأَةٍ تُعَانِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
| لَا تَخْرُجُوا إِلَى الْحَقْلِ وَلا تَمْشُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَلِلْعَدُوِّ سَيْفٌ، وَالْهَوْلُ مُحْدِقٌ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
| فَيَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ارْتَدِي الْمُسُوحَ وَتَمَرَّغِي فِي الرَّمَادِ، وَنُوحِي كَمَنْ يَنُوحُ عَلَى وَحِيدِهِ، وَانْتَحِبِي نَحِيباً مُرّاً، لأَنَّ الْمُدَمِّرَ يَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْنَا فَجْأَةً. | ٢٦ |
27 I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
| «إِنِّي أَقَمْتُكَ مُمْتَحِناً لِلْمَعْدِنِ، وَجَعَلْتُ شَعْبِي مَادَّةَ خَامٍ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ طُرُقَهُمْ وَتَفْحَصَهَا. | ٢٧ |
28 They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
| فَكُلُّهُمْ عُصَاةٌ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ سَاعُونَ فِي النَّمِيمَةِ. هُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَحَدِيدٌ وَكُلُّهُمْ فَاسِدُونَ. | ٢٨ |
29 The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
| لَشَدَّ مَا تُضْرِمُ رِيحُ المِنْفَاخِ الشَّدِيدَةُ النَّارَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ الرَّصَاصَ وَلَكِنْ كَمَا يَتَعَذَّرُ تَنْقِيَتُهُ مِنَ الزَّغَلِ كَذَلِكَ يَتَعَذَّرُ فَصْلُ الأَشْرَارِ. | ٢٩ |
30 They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
| وَهُمْ يُدْعَوْنَ حُثَالَةَ الْفِضَّةِ الْمَرْذُولَةِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمْ». | ٣٠ |
