Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his force have come to Jerusalem, and they lay siege against it;
| وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، زَحَفَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا. | ١ |
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city has been broken up;
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الرَّابِعِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا فُتِحَتْ ثُغْرَةٌ فِي سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢ |
3 and all the heads of the king of Babylon come in, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-Saris, Nergal-Sharezer, chief magus, and all the rest of the heads of the king of Babylon.
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ دَخَلَ كُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَجَلَسُوا فِي الْبَابِ الأَوْسَطِ وَهُمْ: نَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ، وَسَمْجَرَ نَبُو، وَسَرْسَخِيمُ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ، وَنَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ الْمَجُوسِ، وَسَائِرُ قُوَّادِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ. | ٣ |
4 And it comes to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah and all the men of war have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goes forth the way of the plain.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَهُمْ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ الْمُحَارِبِينَ فَرُّوا هَارِبِينَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلاً عَنْ طَرِيقِ جَنَّةِ الْمَلِكِ، مِنَ الْبَابِ الْقَائِمِ بَيْنَ السُّورَيْنِ، وَاتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ الْعَرَبَةِ. | ٤ |
5 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaks with him—judgments.
| فَتَعَقَّبَهُمْ جَيْشُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي سَهْلِ أَرِيحَا، فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَادُوهُ إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَأَصْدَرَ عَلَيْهِ حُكْمَهُ. | ٥ |
6 And the king of Babylon slaughters the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, indeed, the king of Babylon has slaughtered all the nobles of Judah.
| وَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ أَبْنَاءَ صِدْقِيَّا فِي رَبْلَةَ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُ كَمَا قَتَلَ سَائِرَ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا. | ٦ |
7 And he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he binds him with bronze chains to bring him to Babylon.
| وَفَقَأَ عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسَلاسِلَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ لِيَأْخُذَهُ أَسِيراً إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٧ |
8 And the house of the king, and the house of the people, the Chaldeans have burned with fire, and they have broken down the walls of Jerusalem.
| وَأَحْرَقَ الْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ قَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَبُيُوتَ الشَّعْبِ وَنَقَضُوا أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٨ |
9 And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those defecting who have defected to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has removed [to] Babylon.
| وَسَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ شُرْطَةِ بَابِلَ بَقِيَّةَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي بَقِيَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٩ |
10 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has left in the land of Judah the poor people who have nothing, and he gives vineyards and fields to them in that day.
| أَمَّا الْفُقَرَاءُ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَدَيْهِمْ شَيْءٌ فَتَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، وَوَزَّعَ عَلَيْهِمْ كُرُوماً وَحُقُولاً فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gives a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,
| وَأَوْصَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ نَبُوزَرَادَانَ رَئِيسَ الشُّرْطَةِ بِإِرْمِيَا قَائِلاً: | ١١ |
12 “Take him, and place your eyes on him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaks to you, so do with him.”
| «خُذْهُ وَاعْتَنِ بِهِ أَشَدَّ عِنَايَةٍ وَلا تُؤْذِهِ، بَلِ اسْتَجِبْ لِكُلِّ مَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ». | ١٢ |
13 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, sends, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief magus, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon,
| فَبَعَثَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ وَنَبُوشَزْبَانُ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ وَنَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ الْمَجُوسِ وَجَمِيعُ قُوَّادِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، | ١٣ |
14 indeed, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwells in the midst of the people.
| وَأَخْرَجُوا إِرْمِيَا مِنْ دَارِ الْحَرَسِ، وَعَهَدُوا بِهِ إِلَى جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ لِيَأْخُذَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. فَأَقَامَ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ. | ١٤ |
15 And a word of YHWH has been to Jeremiah—in his being detained in the court of the prison—saying:
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَيْنَمَا كَانَ مُعْتَقَلاً فِي دَارِ الْحَرَسِ: | ١٥ |
16 “Go, and you have spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing in My words to this city for calamity, and not for good, and they have been before you in that day.
| «اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِعَبْدَمَلِكَ الإِثْيُوبِيِّ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أُتَمِّمُ قَضَائِي عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَأُوْقِعُ بِها الشَّرَّ لَا الْخَيْرَ، فَيَتَحَقَّقُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ. | ١٦ |
17 And I have delivered you in that day—a declaration of YHWH—and you are not given into the hand of the men of whose face you are afraid,
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَأُنْقِذُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَلا تَقَعُ فِي يَدِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ تَخْشَاهُمْ. | ١٧ |
18 for I certainly deliver you, and you do not fall by sword, and your life has been to you for a spoil, for you have trusted in Me—a declaration of YHWH.”
| إِنَّمَا أُنَجِّيكَ فَلا تَسْقُطُ بِالسَّيْفِ، بَلْ تَسْلَمُ بِحَيَاتِكَ، فَتَكُونُ لَكَ غَنِيمَةً، لأَنَّكَ اتَّكَلْتَ عَلَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٨ |
