Jeremiah 43

1 And it comes to pass, when Jeremiah finishes speaking to all the people all the words of their God YHWH, with which their God YHWH has sent him to them—all these words—

١ عِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنَ الإِدْلاءِ بِكُلِّ رِسَالَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها إِلَيْهِ لِيُبَلِّغَهَا لِلشَّعْبِ جَمِيعِهِ،

2 that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, speak to Jeremiah, saying, “You are speaking falsehood; our God YHWH has not sent you to say, Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there;

٢ قَالَ عَزَرِيَا بْنُ هُوشَعْيَا وَيُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَسَائِرُ الرِّجَالِ الْمُتَعَجْرِفِينَ لإِرْمِيَا: «أَنْتَ تَنْطِقُ بِالْكَذِبِ، فَالرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا لَمْ يُرْسِلْكَ لِتَقُولَ لَنَا: لَا تَرْحَلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ لِتَتَغَرَّبُوا فِيهَا.

3 for Baruch son of Neriah is moving you against us, in order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to remove us to Babylon.”

٣ إِنَّمَا يُثِيرُكَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا عَلَيْنَا لِتُسَلِّمَنَا إِلَى الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَقْتُلُونَا وَيَسْبُونَا إِلَى بَابِلَ».

4 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, and all the people, have not listened to the voice of YHWH, to dwell in the land of Judah;

٤ وَأَبَى يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ وَسَائِرُ قُوَّادِ الْقُوَّاتِ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ طَاعَةَ صَوْتِ الرَّبِّ لِلإِقَامَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا.

5 and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the nations to where they were driven to sojourn in the land of Judah,

٥ بَلْ أَخَذُوا كُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَشَتَّتُوا فِيهَا لِيُقِيمُوا فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا،

6 the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah,

٦ الرِّجَالَ وَالنِّسَاءَ وَالأَطْفَالَ وَبَنَاتِ الْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ تَرَكَهُ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ فِي عُهْدَةِ جَدَلِيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ، وَإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيَّ، وَبَارُوخَ بنَ نِيرِيَّا.

7 and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and they come as far as Tahpanhes.

٧ فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ إِذْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ. وَنَزَلُوا فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ.

8 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

٨ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ قَائِلاً:

9 “Take great stones in your hand, and you have hidden them in the clay in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah,

٩ «خُذْ حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً بِيَدِكَ وَاطْمُرْهَا فِي الْمِلاطِ الْمَرْصُوفِ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ قَصْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ عَلَى مَرْأَى رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا.

10 and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he has stretched out his pavilion over them,

١٠ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا آتِي بِعَبْدِي نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ وَأَنْصِبُ عَرْشَهُ فَوْقَ هَذِهِ الْحِجَارَةِ الَّتِي طَمَرْتُهَا، فَيَبْسُطُ أَرِيكَتَهُ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ عَلَيْهَا.

11 and he has come, and struck the land of Egypt—those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword.

١١ سَيُقْبِلُ وَيُدَمِّرُ دِيَارَ مِصْرَ، فَيَمُوتُ مَنْ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ، وَيُسْبَى مَنْ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِ بِالسَّبْيِ، وَيُقْتَلُ بِالسَّيْفِ مَنْ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْقَتْلِ بِالسَّيْفِ.

12 And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and it has burned them, and he has taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as the shepherd covers himself with his garment, and he has gone forth there in peace;

١٢ وَيُضْرِمُ مَعَابِدَ آلِهَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بِالنَّارِ وَيُحْرِقُهَا وَيَسْبِيهَا، وَيَلُفُّ مِصْرَ حَوْلَ نَفْسِهِ كَمَا يَلُفُّ الرَّاعِي عَبَاءَتَهُ، وَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ سَلِيماً

13 and he has broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and he burns the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.”

١٣ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَهْدِمَ أَنْصَابَ مَعْبَدِ الشَّمْسِ الَّتِي فِي مِصْرَ، وَيُحْرِقَ مَعَابِدَ آلِهَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بِالنَّارِ».
