< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
وَفِي مُسْتَهَلِّ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا:١
2 Thus says the LORD to me; Make you bonds and yokes, and put them on your neck,
«هَذَا مَا أَعْلَنَهُ الرَّبُّ: اصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ رُبُطاً وَأَنْيَاراً وَضَعْهَا عَلَى عُنْقِكَ،٢
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
وَابْعَثْ بِرِسَالَةٍ إِلَى مُلُوكِ أَدُومَ وَمُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَصُورَ وَصِيدُونَ مَعَ الرُّسُلِ الْمُوْفَدِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،٣
4 And command them to say to their masters, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your masters;
وَأَوْصِهِمْ أَنْ يَنْقُلُوا هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ إِلَى سَادَتِهِمْ قَائِلاً: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ:٤
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.
أَنَا بِقُوَّتِي الْعَظِيمَةِ وَبِذِرَاعِي الْمَمْدُودَةِ صَنَعْتُ الأَرْضَ بِمَا عَلَيْهَا مِنْ بَشَرٍ وَبَهَائِمَ، وَوَهَبْتُهَا لِمَنْ طَابَ لِي أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لَهُ.٥
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
وَالآنَ قَدْ عَهِدْتُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَرَاضِي إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ أَيْضاً حَيَوَانَ الْحَقْلِ لِيَكُونَ فِي خِدْمَتِهِ.٦
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
فَتُسْتَعْبَدُ لَهُ وَلابْنِهِ وَلِحَفِيدِهِ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَحِينَ مَوْعِدُ اسْتِعْبَادِ أَرْضِهِ، عِنْدَئِذٍ تَسْتَعْبِدُهُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمُلُوكٌ عُظَمَاءُ.٧
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَبَتْ أَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ أَوْ مَمْلَكَةٍ الاسْتِعْبَادَ لِنَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَرَفَضَتْ أَنْ تَضَعَ عُنُقَهَا تَحْتَ نِيرِهِ، فَإِنِّي أُعَاقِبُهَا بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجَوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ إِلَى أَنْ أُبِيدَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٨
9 Therefore listen not you to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon:
فَلا تُصْغُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِكُمُ الْكَذَبَةِ وَعَرَّافِيكُمْ وَحَالِمِيكُمْ وَمُشَعْوِذِيكُمْ وَسَحَرَتِكُمُ الْقَائِلِينَ لَكُمْ: لَنْ تُسْتَعْبَدُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ،٩
10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
لأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُبْعِدُوكُمْ عَنْ أَرْضِكُمْ وَلأُجْلِيَكُمْ عَنْهَا فَتَهْلِكُوا١٠
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, says the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ تَسْتَسْلِمُ لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتُسْتَعْبَدُ لَهُ أُبْقِيهَا فِي أَرْضِهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَتَحْرُثُهَا وَتُقِيمُ فِيهَا».١١
12 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
فَبَلَّغْتُ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ وَقُلْتُ: «اخْضَعُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَاخْدُمُوهُ وَشَعْبَهُ فَتَحْيَوْا.١٢
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
فَلِمَاذَا تَمُوتُ أَنْتَ وَشَعْبُكَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ كَمَا قَضَى الرَّبُّ عَلَى الأُمَّةِ الَّتِي لَا تُسْتَعْبَدُ لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ؟١٣
14 Therefore listen not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
لَا تَسْتَمِعُوا لِكَلامِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْكَذَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَكُمْ: لَا تُسْتَعْبَدُوا لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ لأَنَّهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ كَذِباً،١٤
15 For I have not sent them, says the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
فَأَنَا لَمْ أَرْسِلْهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّمَا هُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِاسْمِي كَذِباً لأَجْلِكُمْ فَتُطْرَدُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُكُمُ الْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ لَكُمْ».١٥
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD; Listen not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’s house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
وَقُلْتُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلامِ أَنْبِيَائِكُمُ الْكَذَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ إِنَّ آنِيَةَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ سَتُرَدُّ سَرِيعاً مِنْ بَابِلَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ كَذِباً.١٦
17 Listen not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
لَا تُصْغُوا لَهُمْ، بَلِ اخْدُمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَاحْيَوْا، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَحَوَّلُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ إِلَى أَطْلالٍ؟١٧
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
وَإِنْ كَانُوا حَقّاً أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقّاً وَحْيُ الرَّبِّ لَدَيْهِمْ فَلْيَبْتَهِلُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ لِكَيْ لَا يُحْمَلَ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَصْرِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ.١٨
19 For thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.
فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَقُولُ عَنِ الأَعْمِدَةِ، وَبِرْكَةِ الْمَاءِ وَالْقَوَاعِدِ وَسَائِرِ الآنِيَةِ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ١٩
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
مِمَّا لَمْ يَسْتَوْلِ عَلَيْهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عِنْدَمَا سَبَى يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،٢٠
21 Yes, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
فَبَقِيَتْ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَفِي قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ:٢١
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, says the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
إِنَّهَا سَتُحْمَلُ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَتَبْقَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ افْتِقَادِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَأَسْتَرْجِعُهَا وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ».٢٢
