< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Concerning Moab: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is spoiled, Kiriathaim has been captured [and] put to shame, The high tower has been put to shame, Indeed, it has been broken down.
نُبُوءَةٌ عَنِ الْمُوَآبِيِّينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «وَيْلٌ لِنَبُو لأَنَّهَا أَصْبَحَتْ أَطْلالاً. لَحِقَ الْعَارُ بِقَرْيَتَايِمَ وَتَمَّ الاسْتِيلاءُ عَلَيْهَا. خَزِيَ الْحِصْنُ وَارْتَعَبَ.١
2 There is no longer praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised evil against her: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, you are cut off, A sword goes after you.
زَالَ فَخْرُ مُوآبَ وَتَآمَرُوا فِي حَشْبُونَ عَلَيْهَا شَرّاً قَائِلِينَ: هَيَّا نَهْدِمُهَا فَلا تَكُونُ أُمَّةً بَعْدُ. وَأَنْتِ أَيْضاً يَا مَدْمِينُ، يُهَيْمِنُ عَلَيْكِ صَمْتُ الْمَوْتِ وَيُلاحِقُكِ السَّيْفُ.٢
3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
اسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ صُرَاخٍ مِنْ حُورُونَايِمَ: قَدْ حَلَّ بِنَا هَلاكٌ وَدَمَارٌ عَظِيمَانِ.٣
4 Moab has been destroyed, Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
قَدْ تَحَطَّمَتْ مُوآبُ، وَبَلَغَ صُرَاخُهَا صُوغَرَ.٤
5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Weeping goes up, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries have heard a cry of desolation.
إِذْ عَلَى مُرْتَفَعِ لُوحِيتَ يَصْعَدُونَ بَاكِينَ بِمَرَارَةٍ، وَعَلَى مُنْحَدَرِ حُورُونَايِمَ يَتَرَدَّدُ صُرَاخُ الانْكِسَارِ.٥
6 Flee, deliver yourselves, You are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
اهْرُبُوا وَانْجُوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. كُونُوا كَعَرْعَرٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ.٦
7 For because of your trusting in your works, And in your treasures, even you are captured, And Chemosh has gone out in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
لأَنَّكُمُ اتَّكَلْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَكُنُوزِكُمْ، سَتُسْبَوْنَ أَيْضاً وَيَقَعُ الصَّنَمُ كَمُوشُ أَيْضاً أَسِيراً وَيُؤْخَذُ إِلَى الْمَنْفَى مَعَ كَهَنَتِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ.٧
8 And a spoiler comes to every city, And no city escapes, And the valley has perished, And the plain has been destroyed, as YHWH said.
وَيَزْحَفُ الْمُدَمِّرُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، فَلا تُفْلِتُ مِنْهُ إِحْدَاهَا، فَيَبِيدُ الْوَادِي، وَيَتْلَفُ السَّهْلُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ قَضَى.٨
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may go forth and flee away, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
أَعْطُوا مُوآبَ أَجْنِحَةً، فَيُحَلِّقَ طَائِراً. قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ مُدُنُهُ أَطْلالاً مَهْجُورَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ.٩
10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of YHWH slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلِ الرَّبِّ مُتَهَاوِناً، وَمَلْعُونٌ مَنْ حَظَرَ عَلَى سَيْفِهِ الدَّمَ.١٠
11 Moab is secure from his youth, And he [is] at rest for his preserved things, And he has not been emptied out from vessel to vessel, And he has not gone into captivity, Therefore his taste has remained in him, And his fragrance has not been changed.
قَدْ قَضَى مُوآبُ حَيَاةً مُتْرَفَةً مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ، كَالْخَمْرِ الْمُسْتَقِرِّ عَلَى عَكَرِهِ. لَمْ يُفْرَغْ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَى السَّبْيِ قَطُّ لِذَلِكَ ظَلَّ مُحْتَفِظاً بِطَعْمِهِ وَلَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ رَائِحَتُهُ.١١
12 Therefore, behold, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent wanderers to him, And they have caused him to wander, And they empty out his vessels, And they dash his bottles in pieces.
هَا هِيَ أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أُرْسِلُ فِيهَا إِلَيْهِ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ سَاكِبِي الْجِرَارِ، فَيَسْكُبُونَهُ وَيُفْرِغُونَ جِرَارَهُ وَيُحَطِّمُونَ دِنَانَهُ.١٢
13 And Moab has been ashamed because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel has been ashamed Because of Beth-El, their confidence.
فَيَعْتَرِي الْمُوآبِيِّينَ الْخَجَلُ مِنْ كَمُوشَ، كَمَا اعْتَرَى الْخَجَلُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، مُتَّكَلِهِمْ.١٣
14 How do you say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّنَا أَبْطَالٌ وَجَبَابِرَةُ حَرْبٍ؟١٤
15 Moab is spoiled, and has gone up [from] her cities, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
إِنَّ مُوآبَ سَيُدَمَّرُ، وَتُغْزَى مُدُنُهُ، وَتَنْزِلُ نُخْبَةُ شُبَّانِهِ لِلذَّبْحِ، يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.١٥
16 The destruction of Moab is near to come, And his calamity has hurried exceedingly.
قَدْ أَزِفَتْ بَلِيَّةُ مُوآبَ وَمِحْنَتُهُ أَقْبَلَتْ مُسْرِعَةً.١٦
17 Bemoan for him, all you around him, And all knowing his name, say, How it has been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty!
فَارْثُوهُ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ وَسَائِرَ الْعَارِفِينَ اسْمَهُ. قُولُوا انْكَسَرَ صَوْلَجَانُ الْعِزِّ وَقَضِيبُ الْمَجْدِ.١٧
18 Come down from glory, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab has come up to you, He has destroyed your fortifications.
اهْبِطِي مِنَ الْمَجْدِ وَاجْلِسِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ الْظَّمْأَى أَيَّتُهَا السَّاكِنَةُ فِي دِيبُونَ، لأَنَّ مُدَمِّرَ مُوآبَ قَدْ زَحَفَ عَلَيْكِ وَهَدَمَ حُصُونَكِ.١٨
19 Stand on the way, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What has happened?
قِفِي عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ وَرَاقِبِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ عَرُوعِيرَ. اسْأَلِي الْهَارِبَ وَالنَّاجِيَةَ بِنَفْسِهَا: مَاذَا جَرَى؟١٩
20 Moab has been put to shame, For it has been broken down, Howl and cry, declare in Arnon, For Moab is spoiled,
فَيَأْتِيَ الْجَوَابُ: قَدْ لَحِقَ الْخِزْيُ بِمُوآبَ، لأَنَّهُ صَارَ أَطْلالاً فَوَلْوِلُوا وَأَعْوِلُوا. أَذِيعُوا فِي أَرْنُونَ أَنَّ مُوآبَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ خَرَاباً.٢٠
21 And judgment has come to the land of the plain—to Holon, And to Jahazah, and on Mephaath,
قَدْ وَقَعَ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى أَرْضِ السَّهْلِ، وَعَلَى حُولُونَ، وَعَلَى يَهْصَةَ، وَعَلَى مَيْفَعَةَ،٢١
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,
وَعَلَى دِيبُونَ، وَعَلَى نَبُو، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ دَبْلَتَايِمَ،٢٢
23 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,
وَعَلَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ جَامُولَ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ مَعُونَ،٢٣
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
وَعَلَى قَرْيُوتَ، وَعَلَى بُصْرَةَ، وَعَلَى كَافَّةِ مُدُنِ بِلادِ مُوآبَ الْبَعِيدَةِ وَالْقَرِيبَةِ.٢٤
25 The horn of Moab has been cut down, And his arm has been broken, A declaration of YHWH.
قَدْ كُسِرَ قَرْنُ مُوآبَ، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٢٥
26 Declare him drunk, For he made himself great against YHWH And Moab has struck in his vomit, And he has been for a derision—even he.
أَسْكِرُوهُ حَتَّى يَتَمَرَّغَ فِي قَيْئِهِ، وَيُصْبِحَ مَهْزَأَةً، لأَنَّهُ تَغَطْرَسَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ.٢٦
27 And was Israel not the derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For since your words concerning him, You bemoan yourself.
أَلَمْ يُصْبِحْ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَهْزَأَةً لَدَيْكَ؟ أَكَانَ بَيْنَ اللُّصُوصِ حَتَّى كُنْتَ تَهُزُّ رَأْسَكَ بِاحْتِقَارٍ كُلَّمَا جَاءَ ذِكْرُهُ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ؟٢٧
28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, You inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit’s mouth.
اهْجُرُوا الْمُدُنَ وَأَقِيمُوا بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ يَا أَهْلَ مُوآبَ، وَكُونُوا كَالْحَمَامَةِ الَّتِي تُعَشِّشُ عِنْدَ حَافَةِ فَوَّهَةِ الْكَهْفِ.٢٨
29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceedingly proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
قَدْ سَمِعْنَا عَنْ عَجْرَفَةِ مُوآبَ الْمُفْرِطَةِ. إِنَّهُ شَدِيدُ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ. سَمِعْنَا عَنْ غَطْرَسَتِهِ وَتَشَامُخِهِ وَغُرُورِهِ، وَعَنِ ارْتِفَاعِ قَلْبِهِ.٢٩
30 I have known, a declaration of YHWH, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His boastings—they have done nothing right.
قَدْ عَرَفْتُ كِبْرِيَاءَهُ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّمَا زَهْوُهُ بَاطِلٌ، وَتَفَاخُرُهُ عَدِيمُ الْجَدْوَى.٣٠
31 Therefore I howl for Moab, even for Moab—all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it mourns,
لِذَلِكَ أَنُوحُ عَلَى مُوآبَ وَأُعْوِلُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِهِ، وَأَئِنُّ عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ.٣١
32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, Your branches have passed over a sea, They have come to the Sea of Jazer, On your summer fruits, and on your harvest, A spoiler has fallen.
أَبْكِي عَلَيْكِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ عَلَى يَعْزِيرَ يَا جَفْنَةَ سَبْمَةَ الَّتِي امْتَدَّتْ فُرُوعُهَا حَتَّى الْبَحْرِ، بَلْ بَلَغَتْ بَحْرَ يَعْزِيرَ، فَإِنَّ الْمُدَمِّرَ قَدِ انْقَضَّ عَلَى حَصَادِكِ النَّاضِجِ وَقِطَافِكِ.٣٢
33 And joy and gladness have been removed from the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And I have caused wine to cease from winepresses, Shouting does not proceed, The shouting [is] not shouting!
قَدْ تَلاشَى الْفَرَحُ وَالْغِبْطَةُ مِنْ بَسَاتِينِ مُوآبَ وَمِنْ حُقُولِهِ، وَأُوْقِفَ تَدَفُّقُ الْخَمْرِ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِرِ فَلا يَدُوسُهَا دَائِسٌ بِهُتَافٍ، بَلْ تَعْلُو صَرَخَاتٌ لَا هُتَافَ فِيهَا.٣٣
34 Because of the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh, They have given their voice to Jahaz, From Zoar to Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even [the] waters of Nimrim become desolations.
يَرْتَفِعُ الصُّرَاخُ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى أَلْعَالَةَ فَيَاهَصَ. أَطْلَقُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ مِنْ صُوغَرَ إِلَى حُورُونَايِمَ حَتَّى الْعِجْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، لأَنَّ مِيَاهَ نِمْرِيمَ أَيْضاً قَدْ نَضَبَتْ.٣٤
35 And I have caused to cease in Moab, A declaration of YHWH, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making incense to his god.
وَأُبِيدُ مِنْ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، مَنْ يُقَرِّبُ ذَبِيحَةً عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَةٍ، وَمَنْ يُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً لِآلِهَةِ الْوَثَنِ.٣٥
36 Therefore My heart sounds as pipes for Moab, And My heart sounds as pipes for men of Kir-Heres, Therefore the abundance he made perished.
لِذَلِكَ يَئِنُّ قَلْبِي عَلَى مُوآبَ كَأَنِينِ مِزْمَارٍ، وَيَنُوحُ فُؤَادِي عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ كَنَوْحِ النَّايِ، فَإِنَّ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ الَّتِي اكْتَسَبُوهَا قَدْ تَبَدَّدَتْ.٣٦
37 For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands—cuttings, and on the loins—sackcloth.
قَدْ أَصْبَحَ كُلُّ رَأْسٍ أَقْرَعَ، وَكُلُّ لِحْيَةٍ مَحْلُوقَةً، تَجَرَّحَتِ الأَيْدِي وَتَمَنْطَقَتِ الأَحْقَاءُ بِالْمُسُوحِ.٣٧
38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it—lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure,” A declaration of YHWH.
شَاعَ الْنَّوْحُ عَلَى سُطُوحِ مُوآبَ وَفِي شَوَارِعِهَا كُلِّهَا، لأَنِّي حَطَّمْتُ مُوآبَ كَإِنَاءٍ لَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ رَغْبَةٌ فِيهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٣٨
39 “How it has been broken down! They have howled, How Moab has turned the neck ashamed! And Moab has been for a derision And for a terror to all around her.”
لَشَدَّ مَا تَحَطَّمْتَ! لَشَدَّ مَا يُوَلْوِلُونَ: كَيْفَ أَدْبَرَ مُوآبُ مُجَلَّلاً بِالْخِزْيِ؟ قَدْ صَارَ مَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَرُعْبٍ لِكُلِّ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ».٣٩
40 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, he flees as an eagle, And has spread his wings to Moab.
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «انْظُرُوا، هَا وَاحِدٌ يَطِيرُ مُسْرِعاً كَالنَّسْرِ بَاسِطاً جَنَاحَيْهِ ضِدَّ مُوآبَ.٤٠
41 The cities have been captured, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Has been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
فَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَى الْمُدُنِ، وَتَسْقُطُ الْحُصُونُ، وَتُصْبِحُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قُلُوبُ مُحَارِبِي مُوآبَ كَقَلْبِ امْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا.٤١
42 And Moab has been destroyed from [being] a people, For he exerted himself against YHWH.
يَهْلِكُ مُوآبُ وَلا يَبْقَى أُمَّةً، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَغَطْرَسَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ.٤٢
43 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [are] for you, O inhabitant of Moab—a declaration of YHWH,
يَتَرَصَّدُكُمُ الرُّعْبُ وَالْحُفْرَةُ وَالْفَخُّ يَا أَهْلَ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٤٣
44 Whoever is fleeing because of the fear falls into the snare, And whoever is coming up from the snare is captured by the trap, For I bring to her—to Moab—The year of their inspection, A declaration of YHWH.
مَنْ يَهْرُبُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ يَقَعُ فِي الْحُفْرَةِ، وَمَنْ يَصْعَدُ مِنَ الْحُفْرَةِ يَعْلَقُ بِالْفَخِّ، لأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَى مُوآبَ هَذِهِ الْمِحَنَ فِي سَنَةِ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٤٤
45 In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives have stood powerless, For fire has gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumes the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
فِي ظِلِّ حَشْبُونَ وَقَفَ الْهَارِبُونَ خَائِرِي الْقُوَى، لأَنَّ نَاراً انْدَلَعَتْ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، وَشُعْلَةً مِنْ سِيحُونَ، فَالْتَهَمَتْ رُكْنَ مُوآبَ وَهَامَةَ الْمُتَبَجِّحِينَ الْغَوْغَائِيِّينَ.٤٥
46 Woe to you, O Moab, The people of Chemosh have perished, For your sons were taken with the captives, And your daughters with the captivity.
وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ! قَدْ بَادَ شَعْبُ كَمُوشَ، لأَنَّ بَنِيكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ أُخِذُوا إِلَى السَّبْيِ.٤٦
47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days,” A declaration of YHWH! “Until now [is] the judgment of Moab.”
وَلَكِنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مُوآبَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الآتِيَةِ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. إِلَى هُنَا خِتَامُ الْقَضَاءِ عَلَى مُوآبَ.٤٧
