Jeremiah 36

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

١ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا:

2 'Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

٢ «خُذْ لَكَ دَرْجَ كِتَابٍ وَدَوِّنْ فِيهِ كُلَّ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي أَمْلَيْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَهُوذَا وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ، مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْتُ فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي عَهْدِ يُوشِيَّا إِلَى الآنَ.

3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.'

٣ لَعَلَّ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا يَسْمَعُونَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُوْقِعَهُ بِهِمْ، فَيَتُوبَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ غِيِّهِ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ وَخَطِيئَتِهِمْ».

4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.

٤ فَاسْتَدْعَى إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيَّا، فَدَوَّنَ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا فِي دَرْجِ كِتَابٍ جَمِيعَ وَحْيِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِ بِهِ.

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: 'I am detained, I cannot go into the house of the LORD;

٥ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِبَارُوخَ: «إِنِّي مُعْتَقَلٌ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الدُّخُولَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ،

6 therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon a fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

٦ فَادْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَاتْلُ مِنَ الدَّرْجِ الَّذِي دَوَّنْتَهُ عَنْ فَمِي إِنْذَارَاتِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي يَوْمِ الصَّوْمِ. كَذَلِكَ اقْرَأْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا الْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِهِمْ.

7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.'

٧ لَعَلَّ تَضَرُّعَهُمْ يَرْتَفِعُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَيَرْجِعَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ غِوَايَتِهِ لأَنَّ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ وَسُخْطَهُ الَّلذَيْنِ قَضَى بِهِمَا عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ هَائِلانِ».

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.

٨ فَفَعَلَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا، وَقَرَأَ فِي الْكِتَابِ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

9 Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD, all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.

٩ وَفِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِحُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، تَنَادَى كُلُّ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ الْقَادِمِ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلصَّوْمِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

10 Then did Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.

١٠ فَتَلا بَارُوخُ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ كَلامَ إِرْمِيَا، فِي مُخْدَعِ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ الْكَاتِبِ فِي الدَّارِ الْعُلْيَا عِنْدَ الْمَدْخَلِ الْجَدِيدِ لِبَابِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

11 And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,

١١ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مِيخَايَا بْنُ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ كُلَّ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الْمُدَوَّنِ فِي الْكِتَابِ،

12 he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber; and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

١٢ نَزَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى قَاعَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ حَيْثُ كَانَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ كُلُّهُمْ مُجْتَمِعِينَ: أَلِيشَامَاعُ الْكَاتِبُ، وَدَلايَا بْنُ شِمْعِيَا، وَأَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ، وَجَمَرْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ، وَصِدْقِيَّا بْنُ حَنَنِيَّا، وَسَائِرُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ.

13 Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

١٣ فَأَبْلَغَهُمْ مِيخَايَا بِكُلِّ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ عِنْدَمَا قَرَأَ بَارُوخُ الْكِتَابَ فِي مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ.

14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying: 'Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come.' So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.

١٤ فَبَعَثَ جَمِيعُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ إِلَى بَارُوخَ يَهُودِيَ بْنَ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ شَلَمْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي قَائِلِينَ: «أَحْضِرِ الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي قَرَأْتَ مِنْهُ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ وَتَعَالْ». فَأَخَذَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا الْكِتَابَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ.

15 And they said unto him: 'Sit down now, and read it in our ears.' So Baruch read it in their ears.

١٥ فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اجْلِسْ وَاقْرَأْ مَا فِي الْكِتَابِ عَلَى مَسَامِعِنَا.» فَقَرَأَهُ بَارُوخُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch: 'We will surely tell the king of all these words.'

١٦ وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ، الْتَفَتَ بَعْضُهُمْ نَحْوَ بَعْضٍ مَذْعُورِينَ، وَقَالُوا لِبَارُوخَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ نُنْبِئَ الْمَلِكَ بِكُلِّ هَذَا الْكَلامِ».

17 And they asked Baruch, saying: 'Tell us now: How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?'

١٧ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَارُوخَ: «أَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ دَوَّنْتَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ عَنْ فَمِهِ؟»

18 Then Baruch answered them: 'He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.'

١٨ فَأَجَابَهُمْ بَارُوخُ: «كَانَ يُمْلِي عَلَيَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ فَأُدَوِّنُهَا بِمِدَادٍ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ».

19 Then said the princes unto Baruch: 'Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye are.'

١٩ فَقَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ لِبَارُوخَ: «اذْهَبِ اخْتَفِ عَنِ الأَنْظَارِ أَنْتَ وَإِرْمِيَا فِي مَكَانٍ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ أَحَدٌ».

20 And they went in to the king into the court; but they had deposited the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.

٢٠ وَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ فِي الْقَاعَةِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ أَوْدَعُوا الْكِتَابَ فِي مُخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ، وَسَرَدُوا عَلَى الْمَلِكِ جَمِيعَ كَلامِ الْوَحْيِ.

21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.

٢١ فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ يَهُودِيَ لِيَأْتِيَ بِالْكِتَابِ، فَأَحْضَرَهُ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ الْكَاتِبِ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فِي تِلاوَتِهِ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الْمَلِكِ وَسَائِرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الْمَاثِلِينَ لَدَيْهِ.

22 Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month; and the brazier was burning before him.

٢٢ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ، وَالْمَلِكُ آنَذَاكَ جَالِسٌ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ الشِّتْوِيَّةِ يَسْتَدْفِئُ عَلَى نَارِ كَانُونٍ مُتَأَجِّجٍ أَمَامَهُ.

23 And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

٢٣ فَبَعْدَ أَنْ قَرَأَ يَهُودِيَ ثَلاثَةَ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ مِنْهُ، تَنَاوَلَ الْمَلِكُ مِبْرَاةَ الْكَاتِبِ وَشَقَّ الْكِتَابَ وَطَرَحَهُ إِلَى نَارِ الْكَانُونِ فَاحْتَرَقَ الْكِتَابُ بِكَامِلِهِ.

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

٢٤ وَلَمْ يَخَفِ الْمَلِكُ وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ، وَلَمْ يُمَزِّقُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ.

25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the roll; but he would not hear them.

٢٥ وَتَضَرَّعَ أَلْنَاثَانُ وَدَلايَا وَجَمَرْيَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ كَيْ لَا يُحْرِقَ الْكِتَابَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لَهُمْ.

26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.

٢٦ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ يَرْحَمْئِيلَ بْنَ الْمَلِكِ، وَسَرَايَا بْنَ عَزَرْئِيلَ، وَشَلَمْيَا بْنَ عَبْدِئِيلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَى بَارُوخَ الْكَاتِبِ وَإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ حَجَبَهُمَا عَنْهُمْ.

27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:

٢٧ وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْرَقَ الْمَلِكُ الْكِتَابَ وَمَا دَوَّنَهُ بَارُوخُ مِنْ كَلامٍ عَنْ لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا قَائِلاً:

28 'Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

٢٨ «خُذْ كِتَاباً آخَرَ وَدَوِّنْ فِيهِ مَا وَرَدَ مِنْ كَلامٍ فِي الْكِتَابِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا.

29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying: Why hast thou written therein, saying: The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

٢٩ وَقُلْ فِيهِ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ قَائِلاً: لِمَاذَا دَوَّنْتَ فِيهِ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ سَيَزْحَفُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَيُدَمِّرُهَا وَيَقْضِي عَلَى مَا فِيهَا مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ؟

30 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

٣٠ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَخْلُفَهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، وَتُطْرَحُ جُثَّتُهُ خَارِجاً لِتَكُونَ عُرْضَةً لِلْحَرِّ فِي النَّهَارِ وَالْبَرْدِ فِي اللَّيْلِ.

31 And I will visit upon him and his seed and his servants their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.'

٣١ وَأُعَاقِبُهُ وَأُعَاقِبُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ وَعَبِيدَهُ لإِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُوْقِعُ بِهِمْ وَبِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا».

32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.

٣٢ فَأَخَذَ إِرْمِيَا كِتَاباً آخَرَ وَنَاوَلَهُ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا فَدَوَّنَ فِيهِ عَنْ لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بِالنَّارِ مِنْ كَلامٍ، وَأَضَافَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً عِبَارَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً مُمَاثِلَةً.
