< Jeremias 33 >

1 IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.
وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ ثَانِيَةً بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إرْمِيَا، وَهُوَ مَازَالَ مُعْتَقَلاً فِي دَارِ السِّجْنِ قَائِلاً:١
2 Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and you shall declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded you to speak to them; abate not one word.
«هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ صَانِعُ الأَرْضِ، الرَّبُّ الَّذِي صَوَّرَهَا وَثَبَّتَهَا، يَهْوَه اسْمُهُ٢
3 Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.
’ادْعُنِي فَأُجِيبَكَ وَأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى عَظَائِمَ وَغَرَائِبَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا‘.٣
4 And you shall say, Thus said the Lord; If you will not listen to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ بُيُوتِ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَنْ قُصُورِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا الَّتِي تَمَّ هَدْمُهَا، لِيُقَامَ مِنْهَا سُورُ دِفَاعٍ ضِدَّ مَتَارِيسِ الْحِصَارِ وَالْمَجَانِيقِ.٤
5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yes, I sent them, but you listened not to me;
فِي الْقِتَالِ النَّاشِبِ مَعَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ سَيَمْلأُونَ الْمُدُنَ بِجُثَثِ الْقَتْلَى الَّذِينَ ضَرَبْتُهُمْ فِي احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي، لأَنِّي قَدْ حَجَبْتُ وَجْهِي عَنْ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ لِشَرِّهِمْ.٥
6 then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.
وَلَكِنْ لَا أَلْبَثُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ لَهَا الْعَافِيَةَ وَالشِّفَاءَ. أُبْرِئُهُمْ وَأُبْدِي لَهُمْ وَفْرَةَ السَّلامِ وَالأَمْنِ.٦
7 And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَبْنِيهِمْ كَمَا فِي الْعَهْدِ السَّابِقِ.٧
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,
وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمِهِمِ الَّذِي اقْتَرَفُوهُ فِي حَقِّي، وَأَصْفَحُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمِ الَّتِي أَخْطَأُوا بِها إِلَيَّ، وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ تَعَدِّيَاتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ.٨
9 You shall surely die, because you have prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.
وَتُصْبِحُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ مَبْعَثَ سُرُورٍ لِي، وَتَسْبِحَةً وَافْتِخَاراً لَدَى جَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَبْلُغُهَا كُلُّ مَا أَسْدَيْتُهُ مِنْ خَيْرٍ إِلَيْهَا، فَتَخَافُ وَتَرْتَعِدُ بِفَضْلِ مَا أَغْدَقْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ إحْسَانٍ وَازْدِهَارٍ.٩
10 And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي تَقُولُونَ عَنْهُ إِنَّهُ خَرَابٌ هَجَرَهُ الإِنْسَانُ وَالْحَيَوَانُ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَشَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْمُوْحِشَةِ الْمُقْفِرَةِ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَالَّتِي لَا يُقِيمُ فِيهَا حَيَوَانٌ، سَتَتَرَدَّدُ فِيهَا ثَانِيَةً١٠
11 Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
أَصْوَاتُ الطَّرَبِ وَالسُّرُورِ، وَهُتَافُ الْعَرِيسِ وَالْعَرُوسِ، وَأَصْوَاتُ الْمُقْبِلِينَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ بِقَرَابِينِ الشُّكْرِ الْقَائِلِينَ: احْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ وَرَحْمَتُهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ، لأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ الأَرْضِ فَتُصْبِحُ آهِلَةً كَالأَيَّامِ الْخَوَالِي.١١
12 Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which you have heard.
فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الْخَرِبِ الْمُقْفِرِ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَالْحَيَوَانِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِ، سَتَكُونُ مَسَاكِنُ لِلرُّعَاةِ يُرْبِضُونَ فِيهَا قُطْعَانَهُمْ.١٢
13 And now amend your ways and your works, and listen to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.
وَفِي مُدُنِ الْمَنَاطِقِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ وَمُدُنِ السُّفُوحِ الْقَرِيبَةِ، وَمُدُنِ النَّقَبِ، وَفِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَفِي الْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا تَمُرُّ الْغَنَمُ أَمَامَ الْمُحْصِي».١٣
14 And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أُتَمِّمُ فِيهَا الْوَعْدَ الَّذِي تَعَهَّدْتُ بِهِ لِذُرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا وَلِذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٤
15 But know for a certainty, that if you kill me, you bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.
فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ أُنْبِتُ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ غُصْنَ بِرٍّ يُجْرِي عَدْلاً وَبِرّاً فِي الأَرْضِ.١٥
16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ يَخْلُصُ يَهُوذَا، وَتَسْكُنُ أُورُشَلِيمُ آمِنَةً، وَهَذَا هُوَ الاسْمُ الَّذِي تُدْعَى بِهِ: الرَّبُّ بِرُّنَا.١٦
17 And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَنْ يَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاُودَ رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٧
18 Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus says the Lord; Sion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.
وَلَنْ يَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ يُصْعِدُ مُحْرَقَةً، وَيُقَدِّمُ تَقْدِمَةَ حِنْطَةٍ، وَيُقَرِّبُ ذَبِيحَةً مَدَى الدَّهْرِ».١٨
19 Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way kill him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إرْمِيَا بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ:١٩
20 And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.
«هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْقُضُوا عَهْدِي مَعَ النَّهَارِ، وَمَعَ اللَّيْلِ، بِحَيْثُ لَا يَحُلُّ النَّهَارُ وَاللَّيْلُ فِي أَوَانِهِمَا،٢٠
21 And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to kill him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.
يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْقُضُوا عَهْدِي مَعَ عَبْدِي دَاوُدَ، فَلا يَكُونَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ابْنٌ يَمْلِكُ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ، وَمَعَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ خُدَّامِي.٢١
22 And the king sent men into Egypt;
وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّةَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي وَذَرَارِي اللّاوِيِّينَ خُدَّامِي، وَأَجْعَلُهَا فِي كَثْرَةِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي لَا تُحْصَى، وَكَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي لَا يُعَدُّ».٢٢
23 and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he struck him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ.٢٣
24 Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.
«أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالَهُ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبُ: قَدْ نَبَذَ الرَّبُّ الْعَشِيرَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ اخْتَارَهُمَا؟ كَذَلكَ احْتَقَرُوا شَعْبِي وَكَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعُودُوا أُمَّةً.٢٤
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَعْقِدْ مِيثَاقاً مَعَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَلَمْ أَسُنَّ أَحْكَاماً لِلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ،٢٥
فَإِنِّي أَرْفُضُ ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، فَلا أَصْطَفِي مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ مَنْ يَحْكُمُ عَلَى نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. وَلَكِنِّي سَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ وَأَرْحَمُهُمْ».٢٦
