< Jeremiah 49 >

1 Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith the LORD: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he no heir? Why then doth Malcam take possession of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?
نُبُوءَةٌ عَنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «أَلَيْسَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبْنَاءُ؟ أَلَيْسَ لَهُ وَارِثٌ؟ فَمَا بَالُ مَلِكِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى مِيرَاثِ سِبْطِ جَادٍ وَسَكَنَ شَعْبُهُ فِي مُدُنِهِ؟١
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate mound, and her daughters shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel dispossess them that did dispossess him, saith the LORD.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَجْعَلُ فِيهَا هُتَافَ الْقِتَالِ يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي رَبَّةِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ، فَتَصِيرُ تَلَّةَ أَطْلالٍ، وَتُحْرَقُ قُرَاهَا بِالنَّارِ فَيُجْلِي الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَجْلَوْهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٢
3 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is undone; cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro among the folds; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
أَعْوِلِي يَا حَشْبُونُ لأَنَّ عَايَ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. ابْكِينَ يَا بَنَاتِ رَبَّةَ وَتَمَنْطَقْنَ بِالْمُسُوحِ. انْدُبْنَ وَاذْرَعْنَ الأَرْضَ بَيْنَ السِّيَاجَاتِ فَإِنَّ مَلِكَكُنَّ سَيَذْهَبُ إِلَى السَّبْيِ مَعَ كَهَنَتِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ جَمِيعاً.٣
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that didst trust in thy treasures: 'Who shall come unto me?'
مَا بَالُكِ تُبَاهِينَ بِالأَوْدِيَةِ أَيَّتُهَا الابْنَةُ الْمُخَادِعَةُ الَّتِي اتَّكَلَتْ عَلَى نَفَائِسِهَا قَائِلَةً: مَنْ يُهَاجِمُنِي؟٤
5 Behold, I will bring a terror upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all that are round about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather up him that wandereth.
هَا أَنَا أُوْقِعُ بِكِ الرُّعْبَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِكِ، فَيَتَشَرَّدُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَطْرُوداً، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَ الْهَارِبِينَ.٥
6 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
ثُمَّ أَعُودُ فَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».٦
7 Of Edom. Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
نُبُوءَةٌ عَنِ الأَدُومِيِّينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «أَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِي تِيمَانَ حِكْمَةٌ بَعْدُ؟ هَلْ بَادَتِ الْمَشُورَةُ مِنْ ذَوِي الْفَهْمِ؟ هَلْ تَلاشَتْ حِكْمَتُهُمْ؟٧
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; For I do bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I shall punish him.
اهْرُبُوا: أَدْبِرُوا، اخْتَبِئُوا فِي الأَعْمَاقِ يَا سُكَّانَ دَدَانَ، لأَنِّي سَأُوْقِعُ الْبَلِيَّةَ بِذُرِّيَّةِ عِيسُو فِي أَوَانِ عِقَابِهَا.٨
9 If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had enough?
لَوْ أَقْبَلَ قَاطِفُو الْعِنَبِ إِلَيْكَ، أَلا يُبْقُونَ خُصَاصَةً؟ وَلَوِ انْسَلَّ اللُّصُوصُ لَيْلاً، أَلا يَقْنَعُونَ بِسَلْبِ مَا يَكْفِيهِمْ؟٩
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself; his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ جَرَّدْتُ ذُرِّيَّةَ عِيسُو، وَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ مَخَابِئِهَا السِّرِّيَّةِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِهَا الاخْتِفَاءُ. هَلَكَ أَبْنَاءُ عِيسُو وَإخْوَتُهُ وَجِيرَانُهُ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ أَثَرٌ بَعْدُ.١٠
11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will rear them, and let thy widows trust in Me.
اتْرُكْ أَيْتَامَكَ فَإِنِّي أُحْيِيهِمْ، وَلْتَتَّكِلْ أَرَامِلُكَ عَلَيَّ».١١
12 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, they to whom it pertained not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink.
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ كَانَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَسْتَحِقُّونَ تَجَرُّعَ كَأْسِ الْعِقَابِ قَدْ تَجَرَّعُوهُ، أَتُفْلِتُ أَنْتَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ؟ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُفْلِتَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ، بَلْ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَجْرَعَهُ حَتْماً.١٢
13 For I have sworn by Myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِنَفْسِي»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أَنْ تُصْبِحَ بُصْرَةُ عُرْضَةً لِلرُّعْبِ وَالْعَارِ وَالْخَرَابِ وَاللَّعْنَةِ، وَتَغْدُو مُدُنُهَا خَرَائِبَ دَائِمَةً».١٣
14 I have heard a message from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: 'Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.'
تَبَلَّغْتُ رِسَالَةً مِنْ لَدُنِ الرَّبِّ، أَنَّ سَفِيراً قَدْ بُعِثَ إِلَى الأُمَمِ قَائِلاً: «احْشِدُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِمُهَاجَمَتِهَا. هُبُّوا لِلْقِتَالِ.١٤
15 For, behold, I make thee small among the nations, and despised among men.
قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيراً فِي الأُمَمِ، حَقِيراً بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.١٥
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, even the pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill; though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
قَدْ خَدَعَكَ مَا تُثِيرُهُ مِنْ رُعْبٍ، وَأَغْوَتْكَ كِبْرِيَاءُ قَلْبِكَ، يَا مَنْ تُقِيمُ فِي شُقُوقِ الصَّخْرِ وَتَعْتَصِمُ بِقِمَّةِ التَّلِّ. وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأَطْرَحُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَلَوْ بَنَيْتَ عُشَّكَ عَالِياً كَعُشِّ النَّسْرِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.١٦
17 And Edom shall become an astonishment; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
سَتُصْبِحُ أَدُومُ مَثَارَ رُعْبٍ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِها تَعْتَرِيهِ رِعْدَةٌ، وَيَصْفَرُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كُلِّ نَكْبَاتِهَا،١٧
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
وَيُصِيبُهَا مَا أَصَابَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمَا جَاوَرَهُمَا، مِنِ انْقِلابٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَلا يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ وَلا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ.١٨
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make him run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
هَا هُوَ يَنْقَضُّ عَلَى الأَدُومِيِّينَ فِي مَوَاطِنِ صُخُورِهِمْ كَمَا يَنْقَضُّ فَجْأَةً أَسَدٌ مِنْ أَجَمَاتِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ؛ وَفِي لَحْظَةٍ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْهَا وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ أَخْتَارُهُ، لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلِي؟ وَمَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ وَأَيُّ رَاعٍ يَقْوَى عَلَى مُوَاجَهَتِي؟١٩
20 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that He hath taken against Edom; and His purposes, that He hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them away, surely their habitation shall be appalled at them.
لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعُوا مَا خَطَّطَهُ الرَّبُّ ضِدَّ أَدُومَ، وَمَا دَبَّرَهُ ضِدَّ سَاكِنِي تِيمَانَ: هَا صِغَارُ الْقَوْمِ يُجَرُّونَ، وَتَنْهَدِمُ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.٢٠
21 The earth quaketh at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea.
مِنْ صَوْتِ سُقُوطِهِمْ تَرْجُفُ الأَرْضُ، وَأَصْدَاءُ صُرَاخِهِمْ تَبْلُغُ الْبَحْرَ الأَحْمَرَ.٢١
22 Behold, he shall come up and swoop down as the vulture, and spread out his wings against Bozrah; and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
هَا هُوَ يُحَلِّقُ كَالنَّسْرِ، وَيَنْشُرُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى بُصْرَةَ، فَتُصْبِحُ قُلُوبُ جَبَابِرَةِ أَدُومَ كَقَلْبِ امْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ».٢٢
23 Of Damascus. Hamath is ashamed, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away; there is trouble in the sea; it cannot be quiet.
نُبُوءةٌ عَنْ دِمَشْقَ: «قَدْ لَحِقَ الْخِزْيُ بِحَمَاةَ وَأَرْفَادَ إِذْ بَلَغَتْهُمَا الأَنْبَاءُ الْمُزْعِجَةُ، ذَابَتَا خَوْفاً وَاضْطَرَبَتَا كَالْبَحْرِ الْهَائِجِ.٢٣
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, she turneth herself to flee, and trembling hath seized on her; anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
خَارَتْ قُوَى دِمَشْقَ وَأَدْبَرَتْ لِتَهْرُبَ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا الرُّعْبُ، وَأَدْرَكَهَا الْكَرْبُ وَالأَلَمُ كَامْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ.٢٤
25 'How is the city of praise left unrepaired, the city of my joy?'
كَيْفَ لَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الشَّهِيرَةِ، مَدِينَةِ مَسَرَّتِي؟٢٥
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her broad places, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
لِذَلِكَ سَيَتَسَاقَطُ شَبَابُهَا فِي سَاحَاتِهَا، وَيَبِيدُ جَمِيعُ جُنُودِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.٢٦
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
سَأُضْرِمُ النَّارَ فِي سُورِ دِمَشْقَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ قُصُورَ بَنْهَدَدَ».٢٧
28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith the LORD: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, and spoil the children of the east.
نُبُوءَةٌ عَنْ قِيدَارَ وَمَمَالِكِ حَاصُورَ الَّتِي هَاجَمَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هُبُّوا وَازْحَفُوا عَلَى قِيدَارَ. دَمِّرُوا أُمَمَ الْمَشْرِقِ.٢٨
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take, they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall proclaim against them a terror on every side.
فَإِنَّ خِيَامَهُمْ وَقُطْعَانَ أَغْنَامِهِمْ يُسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا، وَتُؤْخَذُ أَسْتَارُهُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتُهُمْ، وَتُنْهَبُ جِمَالُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ، وَيَهْتِفُ بِهِمِ الرِّجَالُ: الرُّعْبُ يُحْدِقُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.٢٩
30 Flee ye, flit far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
اهْرُبُوا سَرِيعاً. تَفَرَّقُوا. تَوَارَوْا فِي الأَعْمَاقِ يَا أَهْلَ حَاصُورَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ تَآمَرَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَدَبَّرَ خُطَّتَهُ ضِدَّكُمْ.٣٠
31 Arise, get you up against a nation that is at ease, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.
هُبُّوا، وَازْحَفُوا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتْرَفَةٍ تَسْكُنُ فِي طُمَأْنِينَةٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. لَا بَوَّابَاتِ لَهَا وَلا مَزَالِيجَ بَلْ تَسْكُنُ مُنْفَرِدَةً.٣١
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil; and I will scatter unto all winds them that have the corners polled; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith the LORD.
سَتُصْبِحُ إِبِلُهُمْ غَنِيمَةً وَمَاشِيَتُهُمْ سَلْباً، وَأُذَرِّي لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ كُلَّ مَقْصُوصِي زَوَايَا الشَّعْرِ، وَأُوْقِعُ بِهِمِ الْبَلِيَّةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَوَانِبِهِمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٣٢
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever; no man shall abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
فَتُصْبِحُ حَاصُورُ مَأْوَى لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَخَرَاباً إِلَى الأَبَدِ. لَا يُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ».٣٣
34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنْ عِيلامَ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا:٣٤
35 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «هَا أَنَا أُحَطِّمُ قَوْسَ عِيلامَ، عِمَادَ قُوَّتِهِمْ.٣٥
36 And I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the dispersed of Elam shall not come.
وَأُرْسِلُ عَلَى عِيلامَ الرِّيَاحَ الأَرْبَعَ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَأُذَرِّيهِمْ لِكُلِّ تِلْكَ الرِّيَاحِ، فَلا تَبْقَى أُمَّةٌ لَا يُسْبَى إِلَيْهَا الْعِيلامِيُّونَ.٣٦
37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even My fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them;
وَأُفْزِعُ عِيلامَ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَأَمَامَ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَأُعَاقِبُهُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَبِغَضَبِي اللّاهِبِ، وَأَجْعَلُ السَّيْفَ يَتَعَقَّبُهُمْ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.٣٧
38 And I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith the LORD.
وَأَنْصِبُ عَرْشِي فِي عِيلامَ، وَأَقْضِي عَلَى مَلِكِهِمْ وَعَلَى عُظَمَائِهِمْ.٣٨
39 But it shall come to pass in the end of days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
وَلَكِنْ أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ عِيلامَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الآتِيَةِ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».٣٩
