Jeremiah 25

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that [was] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

١ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنْ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ الأُولَى مِنْ مُلْكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

٢ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي خَاطَبَ بِها إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ كُلَّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا وَجَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلاً:

3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that [is] the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

٣ «عَلَى مَدَى ثَلاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، أَيْ مُنْدُ السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَحَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَالرَّبُّ يُوْحِي إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ، فَخَاطَبْتُكُمْ بِها تَكْرَاراً مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا.

4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them; ] but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

٤ وَمَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَاظَبَ عَلَى إِرْسَالِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُصْغُوا وَلَمْ تَسْتَمِعُوا لإِنْذَارَاتِهِ.

5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

٥ وَقَدْ قَالُوا لَكُمْ: تُوبُوا الآنَ. لِيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ طُرُقِهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ وَمُمَارَسَاتِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ فَتُقِيمُوا فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى مَدَى الدُّهُورِ،

6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

٦ وَلا تَضِلُّوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا، وَلا تُثِيرُوا غَيْظِي بِمَا تَصْنَعُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْ أَوْثَانٍ. عِنْدَئِذٍ لَا أُنْزِلُ بِكُمْ أَذىً.

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

٧ غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، بَلْ أَثَرْتُمْ غَيْظِي بِمَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَاسْتَجْلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمُ الشَّرَّ».

8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,

٨ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «لأَنَّكُمْ عَصَيْتُمْ كَلامِي،

9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

٩ فَهَا أَنَا أُجَنِّدُ جَمِيعَ قَبَائِلِ الشِّمَالِ بِقِيَادَةِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ عَبْدِي، وَآتِي بِها إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَيَجْتَاحُونَهَا وَيُهْلِكُونَ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِهَا مَعَ سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ مَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ وَصَفِيرٍ، وَخَرَائِبَ أَبَدِيَّةً.

10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.

١٠ وَأُبِيدُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ أَهَازِيجَ الْفَرَحِ وَالطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ غِنَاءِ الْعَرِيسِ وَالْعَرُوسِ، وَضَجِيجَ الرَّحَى وَنُورَ السِّرَاجِ.

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

١١ فَتُصْبِحُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ بِأَسْرِهَا قَفْراً خَرَاباً، وَتُسْتَعْبَدُ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ الأُمَمِ لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ طَوَالَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

١٢ وَفِي خِتَامِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَأُمَّتَهُ، وَأَرْضَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُحَوِّلُهَا إِلَى خَرَابٍ أَبَدِيٍّ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, [even] all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

١٣ «وَأُنَفِّذُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي نَطَقْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا، كُلَّ مَا دُوِّنَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ وَتَنَبَّأَ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.

14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

١٤ إِذْ أَنَّ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً وَمُلُوكاً عُظَمَاءَ يَسْتَعْبِدُونَهُمْ أَيْضاً، وَهَكَذَا أُجَازِيهِمْ بِمُقْتَضَى أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَمَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ أَثِيمَةٍ».

15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

١٥ وَهَذَا مَا أَعْلَنَهُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «خُذْ كَأْسَ خَمْرِ غَضَبِي مِنْ يَدِي، وَاسْقِ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهَا،

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

١٦ فَتَشْرَبَ وَتَتَرَنَّحَ، وَتُجَنَّ بِفِعْلِ السَّيْفِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ بَيْنَهَا».

17 Then took I the cup at the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:

١٧ فَتَنَاوَلْتُ الْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ وَسَقَيْتُ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْهَا الرَّبُّ:

18 [To wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as [it is] this day;

١٨ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا وَمُلُوكَهَا وَعُظَمَاءَهَا، لأَجْعَلَهَا قَفْراً خَرَاباً وَمَثَارَ صَفِيرٍ وَلَعْنَةٍ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

١٩ وَسَقَيْتُ مِنْهَا كَذَلِكَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ وَخُدَّامَهُ وَعُظَمَاءَهُ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِهِ،

20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

٢٠ وَكُلَّ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِ أَرْضِ عُوصَ، وَسَائِرَ مُلُوكِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: مُلُوكَ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَغَزَّةَ، وَعَقْرُونَ وَبَقِيَّةَ أَشْدُودَ،

21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

٢١ وَأَدُومَ، وَمُوآبَ، وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ،

22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,

٢٢ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صُورَ وَصِيدُونَ وَمُلُوكَ الْجَزَائِرِ عَبْرَ الْبَحْرِ،

23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all [that are] in the utmost corners,

٢٣ وَدَدَانَ وَتَيْمَاءَ وَبُوزَ، وَكُلَّ ذَوِي الشَّعْرِ الْمَقْصُوصِ الزَّوَايَا،

24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

٢٤ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ الْعَرَبِ، وَسَائِرَ مُلُوكِ الْقَبَائِلِ الْمُنْضَمَّةِ إِلَيْهِمْ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ،

25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

٢٥ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ زِمْرِي، وَعِيلامَ، وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِ مَادِي.

26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which [are] upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

٢٦ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ الشِّمَالِ، الْقَرِيبِينَ وَالْبَعِيدِينَ، الْوَاحِدَ تِلْوَ الآخَرِ، وَكُلَّ الْمَمَالِكِ الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا مَلِكُ بَابِلَ.

27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

٢٧ ثُمَّ قُلْ لَهُمْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: اشْرَبُوا وَاسْكَرُوا وَتَقَيَّأُوا وَاسْقُطُوا صَرْعَى، وَلا تَقُومُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ السَّيْفِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

٢٨ وَإِنْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُوا الْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِكَ لِيَشْرَبُوا مِنْهَا، فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: لابُدَّ لَكُمْ مِنْ شُرْبِهَا،

29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

٢٩ لأَنِّي شَرَعْتُ أُعَاقِبُ الْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي دُعِيَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهَا، فَهَلْ تُفْلِتُونَ أَنْتُمْ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ؟ فَهَا أَنَا قَدْ سَلَّطْتُ السَّيْفَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth.

٣٠ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكُلِّ هَذَا الْقَضَاءِ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: «الرَّبُّ يَزْأَرُ مِنَ الْعَلاءِ، وَمِنَ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ يُدَوِّي صَوْتُهُ. يَزْأَرُ زَئِيراً عَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، وَيَجْهَرُ هَاتِفاً عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ كَمَا يَجْهَرُ الدَّائِسُونَ عَلَى الْعِنَبِ».

31 A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.

٣١ قَدْ بَلَغَتِ الْجَلَبَةُ جَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ دَعْوَى عَلَى الأُمَمِ، فَيَدْخُلُ فِي مُحَاكَمَةٍ مَعَ الْبَشَرِ، وَيُلْقِي بِالأَشْرَارِ إِلَى السَّيْفِ.

32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

٣٢ هَا الشَّرُّ يَنْدَفِعُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَهَا زَوْبَعَةٌ رَهِيبَةٌ تَثُورُ مِنْ أَقْصَى أَطْرَافِ الأَرْضِ.

33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

٣٣ وَيَنْتَشِرُ قَتْلَى غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَومِ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا. لَا يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يُجْمَعُونَ وَلا يُدْفَنُونَ، بَلْ يَصِيرُونَ نُفَايَةً فَوْقَ سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ.

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

٣٤ وَلْوِلُوا أَيُّهَا الرُّعَاةُ وَابْكُوا، تَمَرَّغُوا فِي الرَّمَادِ يَا قَادَةَ الشَّعْبِ، لأَنَّ أَوَانَ ذَبْحِكُمْ قَدْ حَانَ، فَأُشَتِّتُكُمْ فَتَسْقُطُونَ (وَتَتَنَاثَرُونَ) كَإِنَاءٍ فَاخِرٍ.

35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

٣٥ لَنْ يَبْقَى لِلرُّعَاةِ مَلْجَأٌ يَلُوذُونَ بِهِ، وَلا مَهْرَبٌ لِقَادَةِ الشَّعْبِ.

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, [shall be heard: ] for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.

٣٦ اسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ الرُّعَاةِ وَوَلْوَلَةَ قَادَةِ الشَّعْبِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُتْلِفُ مَرَاعِيَهُمْ.

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

٣٧ عَمَّ الْخَرَابُ الْمَوَاقِعَ الَّتِي يَسُودُهَا السَّلامُ مِنْ فَرْطِ غَضَبِ اللهِ الْعَنِيفِ.

38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

٣٨ قَدْ هَجَرَ كَالشِّبْلِ عَرِينَهُ، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ صَارَتْ خَرَاباً مِنْ سَيْفِ الْعَاتِي، مِنْ شِدَّةِ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِهِ.
