Jeremiah 10

1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel.

١ أَنْصِتُوا إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.

٢ هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لا تَتَعَلَّمُوا طَرِيقَ الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا مِنْ آيَاتِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي تَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهَا الشُّعُوبُ.

3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

٣ لأَنَّ عَادَاتِ الأُمَمِ بَاطِلَةٌ، إِذْ تُقْطَعُ الشَّجَرَةُ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ ثُمَّ تُشَذِّبُهَا وَتَنْحَتُهَا يَدَا صَانِعٍ بِفَأْسٍ.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.

٤ ثُمَّ يُزَيِّنُونَهَا بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَتُثَبَّتُ بِالْمَسَامِيرِ وَالْمَطَارِقِ لِئَلَّا تَتَحَرَّكَ.

5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Do not be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."

٥ فَتَكُونُ كَفَزَّاعَةٍ فِي حَقْلِ قِثَّاءٍ لَا تَنْطِقُ، بَلْ تُحْمَلُ لأَنَّهَا عَاجِزَةٌ عَنِ الْمَشْيِ. فَلا تَخَافُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّ وَلا تَنْفَعُ».

6 "There is none like you, LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.

٦ أَنْتَ لَا نَظِيرَ لَكَ يَا رَبُّ. عَظِيمٌ أَنْتَ، وَاسْمُكَ عَظِيمٌ فِي الْجَبَرُوتِ.

7 Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.

٧ مَنْ لَا يَتَّقِيكَ يَا مَلِكَ الأُمَمِ؟ فَالْخَوْفُ يَلِيقُ بِكَ، إِذْ لَا يُوْجَدُ بَيْنَ حُكَمَاءِ الشُّعُوبِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ نَظِيرُكَ.

8 But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols. It is but wood.

٨ جَمِيعُهُمْ بُلَدَاءُ وَحَمْقَى، يَتَلَقَّفُونَ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ أَصْنَامٍ خَشَبِيَّةٍ.

9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.

٩ يُحْضِرُونَ لِصُنْعِهَا الْفِضَّةَ الْمُطَرَّقَةَ مِنْ تَرْشِيشَ، وَالذَّهَبَ مِنْ أُوفَازَ، فَهِيَ عَمَلُ صَانِعٍ مَاهِرٍ وَصَوْغُ يَدَيْ صَائِغٍ، وَتُكْسَى بِثِيَابٍ زَرْقَاءَ وَأُرْجُوَانِيَّةٍ. كُلُّهَا صَنْعَةُ صُنَّاعٍ مَهَرَةٍ.

10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.

١٠ أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَهُوَ الإِلَهُ الْحَقُّ، الإِلَهُ الْحَيُّ وَالْمَلِكُ السَّرْمَدِيُّ. تَرْتَعِدُ الأَرْضُ أَمَامَ غَضَبِهِ وَلا تَتَحَمَّلُ الأُمَمُ فَرْطَ سُخْطِهِ.

11 You shall say this to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.'

١١ «وَهَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ الآلِهَةَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَصْنَعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُسْتَأْصَلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ».

12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

١٢ فَالرَّبُّ هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ، وَأَسَّسَ الدُّنْيَا بِحِكْمَتِهِ وَمَدَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِفِطْنَتِهِ.

13 when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.

١٣ مَا إِنْ يَنْطِقُ بِصَوْتِهِ حَتَّى تَتَجَمَّعَ غِمَارُ الْمِيَاهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَصْعَدَ السُّحُبُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. يَجْعَلُ لِلْمَطَرِ بُرُوقاً، وَيُطْلِقُ الرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ.

14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

١٤ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ خَامِلٌ وَعَدِيمُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، وَكُلُّ صَائِغٍ أَخْزَاهُ تِمْثَالُهُ لأَنَّ صَنَمَهُ الْمَسْبُوكَ كَاذِبٌ وَلا حَيَاةَ فِيهِ.

15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

١٥ جَمِيعُ الأَصْنَامِ بَاطِلَةٌ، صَنْعَةُ ضَلالٍ، وَفِي زَمَنِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name."

١٦ أَمَّا نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ فَلَيْسَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الأَوْثَانِ، بَلْ هُوَ جَابِلُ كُلِّ الأَشْيَاءِ، وَشَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ شَعْبُ مِيرَاثِهِ، وَاسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

17 'Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.

١٧ اجْمَعِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ حِزَمَكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمُقِيمَةُ تَحْتَ الْحِصَارِ.

18 For thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.'

١٨ لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْذِفُ بِمِقْلاعٍ سُكَّانَ الأَرْضِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ، وَأُعَرِّضُهُمْ لِلضِّيقِ حَتَّى يَعْرِفُوا مُعَانَاتَهُ».

19 Woe is me because of my hurt. My wound is grievous: but I said, 'Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.'

١٩ وَيْلٌ لِي مِنْ أَجْلِ انْسِحَاقِي، فَجُرْحِي لَا شِفَاءَ مِنْهُ، وَلَكِنِّي قُلْتُ: «حَقّاً هَذِهِ بَلِيَّةٌ وَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتَحَمَّلَهَا».

20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

٢٠ قَدْ تَهَدَّمَ خِبَائِي وَتَقَطَّعَتْ حِبَالِي، وَهَجَرَنِي أَبْنَائِي وَلَمْ يَعُدْ لَهُمْ وُجُودٌ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُقِيمُ خِبَائِي ثَانِيَةً وَيَبْسُطُ سُجُوفِي.

21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

٢١ فَرُعَاةُ شَعْبِي بُلَدَاءُ لَمْ يَلْتَمِسُوا الرَّبَّ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ يُفْلِحُوا وَتَشَتَّتَتْ جَمِيعُ رَعِيَّتِهِمْ.

22 The voice of news, look, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.

٢٢ اسْمَعُوا، هَا أَخْبَارٌ تَتَوَاتَرُ عَنْ جَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ مُقْبِلٍ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ لِيُحَوِّلَ مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا إِلَى خَرَائِبَ وَمَأْوَى لِبَنَاتِ آوَى.

23 LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

٢٣ أَدْرَكْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ لَا يَمْلِكُ زِمَامَ طَرِيقِهِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يُوَجِّهَ خُطَى نَفْسِهِ.

24 LORD, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

٢٤ قَوِّمْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِحَقِّكَ لَا بِغَضَبِكَ، لِئَلَّا تُلاشِيَنِي.

25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."

٢٥ لِيَنْصَبَّ سُخْطُكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، وَعَلَى الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي لَا تَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَرَسُوا ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَالْتَهَمُوهَا وَخَرَّبُوا مَسْكَنَهَا.
