Jeremiah 15

1 Then the LORD said to me, "Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

١ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «وحَتَّى لَوْ مَثَلَ مُوسَى وَصَمُوئِيلُ أَمَامِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّعْبِ فَإِنَّ قَلْبِي لَنْ يَلْتَفِتَ إِلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ. اطْرَحْهُمْ مِنْ مَحْضَرِي فَيَخْرُجُوا.

2 It shall happen, when they tell you, 'Where shall we go forth?' Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.

٢ وَعِنْدَمَا يَسْأَلُونَكَ: إِلَى أَيْنَ نَذْهَبُ؟ أَجِبْهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: مَنْ هُوَ لِلْوَبَأِ فَبِالْوَبَأِ يَمُوتُ، وَمَنْ هُوَ لِلسَّيْفِ فَبِالسَّيْفِ يُقْتَلُ، وَمَنْ هُوَ لِلْمَجَاعَةِ فَبِالْمَجَاعَةِ يَفْنَى، وَمَنْ هُوَ لِلسَّبْيِ فَإِلَى السَّبْيِ يَذْهَبُ.

3 I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.

٣ وَأَعْهَدُ بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَصْنَافٍ مِنَ الْخَرَابِ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: السَّيْفِ لِلذَّبْحِ، وَالْكِلابِ لِلتَّمْزِيقِ، وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ لِلاِفْتِرَاسِ وَالإِهْلاكِ.

4 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

٤ وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ مَثَارَ رُعْبِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ نَتِيجَةً لِمَا ارْتَكَبَهُ مَنَسَّى بْنُ حَزَقِيَّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمُ.

5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?

٥ فَمَنْ يَعْطِفُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَمَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ؟ مَنْ يَتَوَقَّفُ لِيَسْأَلَ عَنْ سَلامَتِكِ؟

6 'You have rejected me,' says the LORD, 'you have gone backward:' therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.

٦ قَدْ رَفَضْتِنِي» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «وَوَاظَبْتِ عَلَى الارْتِدَادِ، لِذَلِكَ مَدَدْتُ يَدِي ضِدَّكِ وَدَمَّرْتُكِ، إِذْ سَئِمْتُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الصَّفْحِ عَنْكِ.

7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return from their ways.

٧ وَأُذَرِّيهِمْ بِالْمِذْرَاةِ فِي أَبْوَابِ مُدُنِ الأَرْضِ؛ وَأُثْكِلُ وَأُهْلِكُ شَعْبِي لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ.

8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday; I have made anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.

٨ وَأَجْعَلُ عَدَدَ أَرَامِلِهِمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ رَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ، وَأَجْلِبُ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ مُهْلِكاً عَلَى أُمَّهَاتِ الشُّبَّانِ، وَأُوْقِعُ عَلَيْهِمِ الرُّعْبَ وَالْهَوْلَ بَغْتَةً.

9 She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies," says the LORD.

٩ ذَبُلَتْ وَالِدَةُ السَّبْعَةِ الأَبْنَاءِ. أَسْلَمَتْ رُوحَهَا وَغَرَبَتْ شَمْسُ حَيَاتِهَا وَالنَّهَارُ لَمْ يَغِبْ بَعْدُ. لَحِقَ بِها الْخِزْيُ وَالْعَارُ. أَمَّا بَقِيَّتُهُمْ فَأَدْفَعُهُمْ إِلَى حَدِّ السَّيْفِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

10 "Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth. I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses me."

١٠ وَيْلٌ لِي يَا أُمِّي لأَنَّكِ أَنْجَبْتِنِي لأَكُونَ إِنْسَانَ خِصَامٍ وَرَجُلَ نِزَاعٍ لِكُلِّ الأَرْضِ. لَمْ أَقْرِضْ وَلَمْ أَقْتَرِضْ. وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَلْعَنُنِي.

11 The LORD said, "Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make petition to you in the time of evil and in the time of distress.

١١ دَعْهُمْ يَشْتِمُونَ يَا رَبُّ. أَلَمْ أَتَضَرَّعْ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَيْرِهِمْ؟ إِنِّي أَبْتَهِلُ إِلَيْكَ الآنَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَعْدَائِي فِي وَقْتِ الضِّيقِ وَالْمِحْنَةِ.

12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?

١٢ «أَيُمْكِنُ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَكْسِرَ حَدِيداً وَنُحَاساً مِنَ الشِّمَالِ؟

13 Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.

١٣ سَأَجْعَلُ ثَرْوَتَكَ وَكُنُوزَكَ نَهْباً بِلا ثَمَنٍ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ خَطَايَاكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِكَ.

14 I will make you serve your enemies in a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you."

١٤ وَأُصَيِّرُكَ عَبْداً لأَعْدَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ لَا تَعْرِفُهَا، لأَنَّ نَاراً قَدِ اضْطَرَمَتْ فِي احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِي، سَوْفَ تُحْرِقُكُمْ».

15 "LORD, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; do not take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.

١٥ يَا رَبُّ، أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ. اذْكُرْنِي وَارْعَنِي وَانْتَقِمْ لِي مِنْ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ. لَا تَتَمَهَّلْ طَوِيلاً فِي الانْتِقَامِ لِي، فَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ احْتَمَلْتُ التَّعْيِيرَ.

16 Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, LORD, God of hosts.

١٦ حَالَمَا بَلَغَتْنِي كَلِمَاتُكَ أَكَلْتُهَا فَأَصْبَحَتْ لِي بَهْجَةً وَمَسَرَّةً لِقَلْبِي، لأَنِّي دُعِيتُ بِاسْمِكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْقَدِيرُ.

17 I did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with indignation.

١٧ لَمْ أَجْلِسْ فِي مَجَالِسِ الْعَابِثِينَ، وَلَمْ أَشْتَرِكْ فِي لَهْوِهِمْ. اعْتَزَلْتُ وَحْدِي لأَنَّ يَدَكَ كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ، وَقَدْ مَلأْتَنِي سُخْطاً.

18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?"

١٨ لِمَاذَا لَا يَنْقَطِعُ أَلَمِي، وَجُرْحِي لَا يُشْفَى، وَيَأْبَى الالْتِئَامَ؟ أَتَكُونُ لِي كَجَدْوَلٍ كَاذِبٍ أَوْ مِيَاهٍ سَرِيعَةِ النُّضُوبِ؟

19 Therefore thus says the LORD, "If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to them.

١٩ لِذَلِكَ، هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ أَسْتَرِدَّكَ فَتَمْثُلَ أَمَامِي. إِنْ نَطَقْتَ بِالْقَوْلِ السَّدِيدِ وَنَبَذْتَ الْكَلامَ الْغَثَّ، أَجْعَلْكَ الْمُتَحَدِّثَ بِفَمِي، فَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَرْشِدِينَ، وَأَنْتَ لَا تَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهِمْ طَالِباً نَصِيحَةً.

20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you," says the LORD.

٢٠ وَأَجْعَلُكَ سُوراً نُحَاسِيًّا مَنِيعاً لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ، فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يُخْفِقُونَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ وَأُخَلِّصَكَ.

21 "I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible."

٢١ أُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَفْدِيكَ مِنْ أَكُفِّ الْعُتَاةِ».
