Jeremiah 10

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

١ اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 Thus says Jehovah, "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 ٱلرَّبُّ: «لَا تَتَعَلَّمُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَمِنْ آيَاتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ تَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهَا.

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 لِأَنَّ فَرَائِضَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بَاطِلَةٌ. لِأَنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ يَقْطَعُونَهَا مِنَ ٱلْوَعْرِ. صَنْعَةُ يَدَيْ نَجَّارٍ بِٱلْقَدُومِ.

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

٤ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ يُزَيِّنُونَهَا، وَبِٱلْمَسَامِيرِ وَٱلْمَطَارِقِ يُشَدِّدُونَهَا فَلَا تَتَحَرَّكُ.

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 هِيَ كَٱللَّعِينِ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ فَلَا تَتَكَلَّمُ! تُحْمَلُ حَمْلًا لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَمْشِي! لَا تَخَافُوهَا لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّ، وَلَا فِيهَا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ خَيْرًا».

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

٦ لَا مِثْلَ لَكَ يَارَبُّ! عَظِيمٌ أَنْتَ، وَعَظِيمٌ ٱسْمُكَ فِي ٱلْجَبَرُوتِ.

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 يَخَافُكَ يَا مَلِكَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ بِكَ يَلِيقُ. لِأَنَّهُ فِي جَمِيعِ حُكَمَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَفِي كُلِّ مَمَالِكِهِمْ لَيْسَ مِثْلَكَ.

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

٨ بَلُدُوا وَحَمِقُوا مَعًا. أَدَبُ أَبَاطِيلَ هُوَ ٱلْخَشَبُ.

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 فِضَّةٌ مُطَرَّقَةٌ تُجْلَبُ مِنْ تَرْشِيشَ، وَذَهَبٌ مِنْ أُوفَازَ، صَنْعَةُ صَانِعٍ وَيَدَيْ صَائِغٍ. أَسْمَانْجُونِيٌّ وَأُرْجُوَانٌ لِبَاسُهَا. كُلُّهَا صَنْعَةُ حُكَمَاءَ.

10 But Jehovah 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 ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ فَحَقٌّ. هُوَ إِلَهٌ حَيٌّ وَمَلِكٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. مِنْ سُخْطِهِ تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَلَا تَطِيقُ ٱلْأُمَمُ غَضَبَهُ.

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 هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ: «ٱلْآلِهَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَصْنَعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ تَبِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ»

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 صَانِعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، مُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ بَسَطَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

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 إِذَا أَعْطَى قَوْلًا تَكُونُ كَثْرَةُ مِيَاهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. صَنَعَ بُرُوقًا لِلْمَطَرِ، وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلرِّيحَ 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 بَلُدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ. خَزِيَ كُلُّ صَائِغٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ، لِأَنَّ مَسْبُوكَهُ كَذِبٌ وَلَا رُوحَ فِيهِ.

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

١٥ هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ صَنْعَةُ ٱلْأَضَالِيلِ. فِي وَقْتِ 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; Jehovah of hosts is his name."

١٦ لَيْسَ كَهَذِهِ نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُ مُصَوِّرُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ قَضِيبُ مِيرَاثِهِ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

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

١٧ اِجْمَعِي مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ حُزَمَكِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ.

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

١٨ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا رَامٍ مِنْ مِقْلَاعٍ سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ، وَأُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِكَيْ يَشْعُرُوا».

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 سَحْقِي! ضَرْبَتِي عَدِيمَةُ ٱلشِّفَاءِ! فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ مُصِيبَةٌ فَأَحْتَمِلُهَا».

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 خَيْمَتِي خَرِبَتْ، وَكُلُّ أَطْنَابِي قُطِعَتْ. بَنِيَّ خَرَجُوا عَنِّي وَلَيْسُوا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَبْسُطُ بَعْدُ خَيْمَتِي وَيُقِيمُ شُقَقِي.

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

٢١ لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّعَاةَ بَلُدُوا وَٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَطْلُبُوا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنْجَحُوا، وَكُلُّ رَعِيَّتِهِمْ تَبَدَّدَتْ.

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 هُوَذَا صَوْتُ خَبَرٍ جَاءَ، وَٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِجَعْلِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا خَرَابًا، مَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى.

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

٢٣ عَرَفْتُ يَارَبُّ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ طَرِيقُهُ. لَيْسَ لِإِنْسَانٍ يَمْشِي أَنْ يَهْدِيَ خَطَوَاتِهِ.

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

٢٤ أَدِّبْنِي يَارَبُّ وَلَكِنْ بِٱلْحَقِّ، لَا بِغَضَبِكَ لِئَلَّا تُفْنِيَنِي.

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 اُسْكُبْ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْعَشَائِرِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّهُمْ أَكَلُوا يَعْقُوبَ. أَكَلُوهُ وَأَفْنَوْهُ وَأَخْرَبُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.
