Jeremiah 25

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, which is the first year of Nebuchadrezzar the 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 Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke concerning 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 the king of Judah, even until this day, that is now three and twenty years, 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, making [them] rise early and sending [them]; but ye have not hearkened, and have not 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, O do turn away every one from his evil way, and from the wrongfulness of your doings; and ye shall remain in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers, for from eternity to eternity;

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 bow down to them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not injure you.

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

7 Yet have ye not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord: in order that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your own hands to your own injury.

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

8 Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Because ye have not hearkened to 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 to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all these nations round about, and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a derision, and perpetual ruins.

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 And I will banish from them the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.

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

11 And this whole land shall become a ruin and an [object of] 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 completed, that I will visit on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, saith the Lord, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and will change it into 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 over that land all my words which I have spoken concerning it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning 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 when many nations and great kings shall have made them also serve: I will then recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work 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 hath said the Lord the God of Israel unto me, Take the cup of the wine of this fury out of 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 reel about, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

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

17 And I took the cup out of the hand of the Lord, and caused to drink all the nations, unto whom the Lord had sent me:

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

18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a ruin, an astonishment, a derision, 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 the 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 confederated nations, and all the kings of the land of 'Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazzah, 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 Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

٢٢ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صُورَ وَصِيدُونَ وَمُلُوكَ الْجَزَائِرِ عَبْرَ الْبَحْرِ،

23 Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all those that have their hair cut round;

٢٣ وَدَدَانَ وَتَيْمَاءَ وَبُوزَ، وَكُلَّ ذَوِي الشَّعْرِ الْمَقْصُوصِ الزَّوَايَا،

24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the confederated nations that dwell in the wilderness;

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 Media;

٢٥ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ زِمْرِي، وَعِيلامَ، وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِ مَادِي.

26 And all the kings of the north, that are far and that are 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 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Drink ye, and become drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I am sending 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 of thy hand to drink, that thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Ye must 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, on the city which is called by my name, I begin to inflict evil, and ye will remain utterly unpunished? Ye shall not remain unpunished; for a sword am I calling up over 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 But thou, do thou prophesy concerning them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord will cry aloud from on high, and from his holy habitation will he send forth his voice; he will cry out very loudly over his habitation; the vintner's call, as they that tread out the grapes, will he lift up 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 tumultuous noise cometh even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he holdeth judgment over all flesh: the wicked, —these he giveth up 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil goeth forth from nation to nation, and a great storm-wind waketh up from the farthest ends 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 on that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, nor gathered up, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the surface of 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 Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and roll yourselves about [in the dust], ye leaders of the flocks; for full are your days for you to be slaughtered, and I will scatter you; and you shall fall like a costly vessel.

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

35 And lost shall be the place of refuge for the shepherds, and the escape for the leaders of the flocks to escape.

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

36 There is the voice of the cry of anguish of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leaders of the flocks; for the Lord hath devastated their pasture.

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

37 And in silent desolation lie the pasture-lands of peace, because of the fierceness of the anger of the Lord.

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

38 He hath forsaken his covert, like the young lion; for their land is become desolate, because of the fierceness of the wasting [sword], and because of the fierceness of his anger.

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