< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا:١
2 Take thee a roll-book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day that I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even until this day.
«خُذْ لَكَ دَرْجَ كِتَابٍ وَدَوِّنْ فِيهِ كُلَّ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي أَمْلَيْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَهُوذَا وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ، مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْتُ فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي عَهْدِ يُوشِيَّا إِلَى الآنَ.٢
3 Peradventure it be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them: in order that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
لَعَلَّ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا يَسْمَعُونَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُوْقِعَهُ بِهِمْ، فَيَتُوبَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ غِيِّهِ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ وَخَطِيئَتِهِمْ».٣
4 Then did Jeremiah call Baruch the son of Neriyah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll-book.
فَاسْتَدْعَى إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيَّا، فَدَوَّنَ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا فِي دَرْجِ كِتَابٍ جَمِيعَ وَحْيِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِ بِهِ.٤
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I am not able to enter into the house of the Lord:
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِبَارُوخَ: «إِنِّي مُعْتَقَلٌ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الدُّخُولَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ،٥
6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord before the ears of the people in the house of the Lord on the fast-day; and also before the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities shalt thou read them.
فَادْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَاتْلُ مِنَ الدَّرْجِ الَّذِي دَوَّنْتَهُ عَنْ فَمِي إِنْذَارَاتِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي يَوْمِ الصَّوْمِ. كَذَلِكَ اقْرَأْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا الْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِهِمْ.٦
7 Perhaps it may be that they will humbly present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way; for great are the anger and the fury that the Lord hath decreed against this people.
لَعَلَّ تَضَرُّعَهُمْ يَرْتَفِعُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَيَرْجِعَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ غِوَايَتِهِ لأَنَّ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ وَسُخْطَهُ الَّلذَيْنِ قَضَى بِهِمَا عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ هَائِلانِ».٧
8 And Baruch the son of Neriyah did in accordance with all that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him, to read in the book the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.
فَفَعَلَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا، وَقَرَأَ فِي الْكِتَابِ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.٨
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
وَفِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِحُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، تَنَادَى كُلُّ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ الْقَادِمِ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلصَّوْمِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.٩
10 And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord's house, before the ears of all the people.
فَتَلا بَارُوخُ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ كَلامَ إِرْمِيَا، فِي مُخْدَعِ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ الْكَاتِبِ فِي الدَّارِ الْعُلْيَا عِنْدَ الْمَدْخَلِ الْجَدِيدِ لِبَابِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.١٠
11 And when Michayhu the son of Gemaryahu, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord out of the book:
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مِيخَايَا بْنُ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ كُلَّ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الْمُدَوَّنِ فِي الْكِتَابِ،١١
12 He went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber; and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, even Elishama' the scribe, and Delayahu the son of Shema'yahu, and Elnathan the son of 'Achbor, and Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Chananyahu, and all the princes.
نَزَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى قَاعَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ حَيْثُ كَانَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ كُلُّهُمْ مُجْتَمِعِينَ: أَلِيشَامَاعُ الْكَاتِبُ، وَدَلايَا بْنُ شِمْعِيَا، وَأَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ، وَجَمَرْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ، وَصِدْقِيَّا بْنُ حَنَنِيَّا، وَسَائِرُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ.١٢
13 And Michayhu told unto them all the words which he had heard, when Baruch read in the book before the ears of the people.
فَأَبْلَغَهُمْ مِيخَايَا بِكُلِّ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ عِنْدَمَا قَرَأَ بَارُوخُ الْكِتَابَ فِي مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ.١٣
14 Thereupon sent all the princes Jehudi the son of Nethanyahu, the son of Shelemyahu, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, The roll wherein thou hast read before the ears of the people, —this take in thy hand, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriyahu took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
فَبَعَثَ جَمِيعُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ إِلَى بَارُوخَ يَهُودِيَ بْنَ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ شَلَمْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي قَائِلِينَ: «أَحْضِرِ الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي قَرَأْتَ مِنْهُ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ وَتَعَالْ». فَأَخَذَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا الْكِتَابَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ.١٤
15 And they said unto him, Sit down, we pray thee, and read it before our ears. So Baruch read it before their ears.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اجْلِسْ وَاقْرَأْ مَا فِي الْكِتَابِ عَلَى مَسَامِعِنَا.» فَقَرَأَهُ بَارُوخُ عَلَيْهِمْ.١٥
16 Now it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they looked terrified at each other, and they said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ، الْتَفَتَ بَعْضُهُمْ نَحْوَ بَعْضٍ مَذْعُورِينَ، وَقَالُوا لِبَارُوخَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ نُنْبِئَ الْمَلِكَ بِكُلِّ هَذَا الْكَلامِ».١٦
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Do tell us, How didst thou write down all these words from his mouth?
ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَارُوخَ: «أَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ دَوَّنْتَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ عَنْ فَمِهِ؟»١٧
18 Then said Baruch unto them, With his mouth did he utter clearly all these words unto me, and I wrote them in the book with ink.
فَأَجَابَهُمْ بَارُوخُ: «كَانَ يُمْلِي عَلَيَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ فَأُدَوِّنُهَا بِمِدَادٍ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ».١٨
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thyself, thou with Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.
فَقَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ لِبَارُوخَ: «اذْهَبِ اخْتَفِ عَنِ الأَنْظَارِ أَنْتَ وَإِرْمِيَا فِي مَكَانٍ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ أَحَدٌ».١٩
20 And they went in to the king into the court, but the roll they had put in safe keeping in the chamber of Elishama' the scribe; and they told before the ears of the king all the words.
وَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ فِي الْقَاعَةِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ أَوْدَعُوا الْكِتَابَ فِي مُخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ، وَسَرَدُوا عَلَى الْمَلِكِ جَمِيعَ كَلامِ الْوَحْيِ.٢٠
21 But the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama' the scribe. And Jehudi read it before the ears of the king, and before the ears of all the princes who stood around the king.
فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ يَهُودِيَ لِيَأْتِيَ بِالْكِتَابِ، فَأَحْضَرَهُ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ الْكَاتِبِ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فِي تِلاوَتِهِ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الْمَلِكِ وَسَائِرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الْمَاثِلِينَ لَدَيْهِ.٢١
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and a pan of coals was burning before him.
وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ، وَالْمَلِكُ آنَذَاكَ جَالِسٌ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ الشِّتْوِيَّةِ يَسْتَدْفِئُ عَلَى نَارِ كَانُونٍ مُتَأَجِّجٍ أَمَامَهُ.٢٢
23 And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four pages, that he cut it with the writer's knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the coal-pan, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the coal-pan.
فَبَعْدَ أَنْ قَرَأَ يَهُودِيَ ثَلاثَةَ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ مِنْهُ، تَنَاوَلَ الْمَلِكُ مِبْرَاةَ الْكَاتِبِ وَشَقَّ الْكِتَابَ وَطَرَحَهُ إِلَى نَارِ الْكَانُونِ فَاحْتَرَقَ الْكِتَابُ بِكَامِلِهِ.٢٣
24 Yet they were not terrified, nor did they rend their garments, either the king, or any of his servants that had heard all these words.
وَلَمْ يَخَفِ الْمَلِكُ وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ، وَلَمْ يُمَزِّقُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ.٢٤
25 And although Elnathan and Delayahu and Gemaryahu had also made intercession with the king that he might not burn the roll, he would not listen to them.
وَتَضَرَّعَ أَلْنَاثَانُ وَدَلايَا وَجَمَرْيَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ كَيْ لَا يُحْرِقَ الْكِتَابَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لَهُمْ.٢٥
26 And the king commanded Yerachmeel the son of the king, and Serayahu the son of 'Azriel, and Shelemyahu the son of 'Abdeel, to seize on Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the Lord hid them.
ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ يَرْحَمْئِيلَ بْنَ الْمَلِكِ، وَسَرَايَا بْنَ عَزَرْئِيلَ، وَشَلَمْيَا بْنَ عَبْدِئِيلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَى بَارُوخَ الْكَاتِبِ وَإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ حَجَبَهُمَا عَنْهُمْ.٢٦
27 Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the roll, and the words which Baruch had written down from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْرَقَ الْمَلِكُ الْكِتَابَ وَمَا دَوَّنَهُ بَارُوخُ مِنْ كَلامٍ عَنْ لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا قَائِلاً:٢٧
28 Take thee again another roll, and write on it all the former words that have been on the first roll, which Jehoyakim the king of Judah hath burnt.
«خُذْ كِتَاباً آخَرَ وَدَوِّنْ فِيهِ مَا وَرَدَ مِنْ كَلامٍ فِي الْكِتَابِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا.٢٨
29 And concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah shalt thou say, Thus hath said the Lord, Thou hast indeed burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease therefrom man and beast!
وَقُلْ فِيهِ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ قَائِلاً: لِمَاذَا دَوَّنْتَ فِيهِ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ سَيَزْحَفُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَيُدَمِّرُهَا وَيَقْضِي عَلَى مَا فِيهَا مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ؟٢٩
30 Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah, He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat in the day, and to the cold in the night.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَخْلُفَهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، وَتُطْرَحُ جُثَّتُهُ خَارِجاً لِتَكُونَ عُرْضَةً لِلْحَرِّ فِي النَّهَارِ وَالْبَرْدِ فِي اللَّيْلِ.٣٠
31 And I will visit on him and on his seed and on his servants their iniquity; and I will bring over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and against the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them, while they did not hearken.
وَأُعَاقِبُهُ وَأُعَاقِبُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ وَعَبِيدَهُ لإِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُوْقِعُ بِهِمْ وَبِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا».٣١
32 And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriyahu the scribe; who wrote thereon from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoyakim the king of Judah had burnt in the fire: and there were yet added unto them many words like them.
فَأَخَذَ إِرْمِيَا كِتَاباً آخَرَ وَنَاوَلَهُ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا فَدَوَّنَ فِيهِ عَنْ لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بِالنَّارِ مِنْ كَلامٍ، وَأَضَافَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً عِبَارَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً مُمَاثِلَةً.٣٢
