Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says the LORD, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ يَنْبِشُونَ مِنَ الْقُبُورِ عِظَامَ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَعِظَامَ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ وَكَهَنَتِهِمْ وَأَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، وَعِظَامَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١ |
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
| وَيَعْرِضُونَهَا أَمَامَ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَكَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي أَحَبُّوهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا وَضَلُّوا وَرَاءَهَا، وَاسْتَشَارُوهَا وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، فَلا تُجْمَعُ وَلا تُدْفَنُ، بَلْ تَصِيرُ نُفَايَةً فَوْقَ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، | ٢ |
3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says the LORD of hosts.
| وَجَمِيعُ الْبَقِيَّةِ الْبَاقِيَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَشِيرَةِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الْمُشَتَّتَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْبِقَاعِ الَّتِي نَفَيْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، يُؤْثِرُونَ الْمَوْتَ عَلَى الْحَيَاةِ». | ٣ |
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
| وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: عِنْدَمَا يَسْقُطُ الرِّجَالُ، أَلا يَقُومُونَ ثَانِيَةً؟ وَعِنْدَمَا يَرْتَدُّونَ مُخْطِئِينَ أَلا يَرْجِعُونَ؟ | ٤ |
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
| فَمَا بَالُ شَعْبِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا ارْتِدَاداً دَائِماً مُتَشَبِّثِينَ بِالْخَدِيعَةِ وَرَافِضِينَ الرُّجُوعَ؟ | ٥ |
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
| قَدْ أَصْغَيْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ، وَإذَا بِهِمْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِمَا يُنَافِي الْحَقَّ، وَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتُوبُ عَنْ شَرِّهِ قَائِلاً: مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَرْتَكِبُ؟ بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ كَفَرَسٍ مُنْدَفِعٍ لِخَوْضِ مَعْرَكَةٍ. | ٦ |
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know the LORD's law.
| إِنَّ اللَّقْلَقَ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَعْرِفُ مِيعَادَ هِجْرَتِهِ، وَالْيَمَامَةَ وَالسُّنُونَةَ الْمُغَرِّدَةَ تَحْفَظَانِ أَوَانَ عَوْدَتِهِمَا مِنْ هِجْرَتِهِمَا. أَمَّا شَعْبِي فَلا يَعْرِفُ قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ! | ٧ |
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
| كَيْفَ تَدَّعُونَ أَنَّكُمْ حُكَمَاءُ وَلَدَيْكُمْ شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ بَيْنَمَا حَوَّلَهَا قَلَمُ الْكَتَبَةِ المُخَادِعُ إِلَى أُكْذُوبَةٍ؟ | ٨ |
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
| سَيَلْحَقُ الْخِزْيُ بِالْحُكَمَاءِ وَيَعْتَرِيهِمِ الْفَزَعُ وَالذُّهُولُ، لأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ. إِذاً أَيَّةُ حِكْمَةٍ فِيهِمْ؟ | ٩ |
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
| لِذَلِكَ أُعْطِي نِسَاءَهُمْ لآخَرِينَ وَحُقُولَهُمْ لِلْوَارِثِينَ الْقَاهِرِينَ، لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ مُوْلَعُونَ بِالرِّبْحِ. حَتَّى النَّبِيُّ وَالْكَاهِنُ يَرْتَكِبَانِ الزُّورَ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمَا، | ١٠ |
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
| وَيُعَالِجُونَ جِرَاحَ شَعْبِي بِاسْتِخْفَافٍ قَائِلِينَ: سَلامٌ، سَلامٌ فِي حِينِ لَا يُوْجَدُ سَلامٌ. | ١١ |
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
| هَلْ خَجِلُوا عِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَفُوا الرِّجْسَ؟ كَلَّا! لَمْ يَخْزَوْا قَطُّ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا الْخَجَلَ. لِذَلِكَ سَيَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ السَّاقِطِينَ، وَحِينَ أُعَاقِبُهُمْ يُطَوَّحُ بِهِمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٢ |
13 I will utterly consume them, says the LORD: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
| «وَسَأُبِيدُهُمْ حَقّاً، إِذْ لَا يَكُونُ فِي الْكَرْمَةِ عِنَبٌ وَلا فِي التِّينَةِ تِينٌ، حَتَّى أَوْرَاقُ الأَشْجَارِ تَذْوِي وَتَتَسَاقَطُ، وَمَا أَغْدَقْتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ نِعَمٍ يُسْلَبُ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
| فَمَا لَنَا قَابِعُونَ هُنَا؟ اجْتَمِعُوا مَعاً وَلْنَلْجَأْ إِلَى الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ وَنَهْلِكْ هُنَاكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا قَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْنَا بِالْهَلاكِ، وَأَعْطَانَا مَاءً مَسْمُوماً لِنَشْرَبَهُ، لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا فِي حَقِّهِ. | ١٤ |
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
| طَلَبْنَا السَّلامَ فَلَمْ يُسْفِرْ عَنْ خَيْرٍ. نَشَدْنَا وَقْتاً لِلْمُدَاوَاةِ فَابْتُلِينَا بِالأَهْوَالِ. | ١٥ |
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
| قَدْ تَرَدَّدَتْ حَمْحَمَةُ خَيْلِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ دَانَ، وَارْتَعَدَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ صَهِيلِ جِيَادِهِمْ. قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا وَاكْتَسَحُوا الأَرْضَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَالْمَدِينَةَ وَأَهْلَهَا. | ١٦ |
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says the LORD.
| انْظُرُوا، هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَفَاعِيَ مُمِيتَةً لَا تَنْجَعُ مَعَهَا رُقىً فَتَلْدَغُكُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٧ |
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
| قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيَّ الْحُزْنُ وَقَلْبِي فِيَّ سَقِيمٌ. | ١٨ |
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't the LORD in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
| هُوَذَا صَرْخَةُ اسْتِغَاثَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَتَجَاوَبُ مِنْ أَرْضٍ نَائِيَةٍ قَائِلَةً: «أَلَيْسَ الرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ؟ أَلَيْسَ مَلِكُهَا فِيهَا؟ لِمَاذَا أَثَارُوا غَيْظِي بِمَنْحُوتَاتِهِمْ وَأَوْثَانِهِمِ الْغَرِيبَةِ الْبَاطِلَةِ؟ | ١٩ |
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
| قَدِ انْقَضَى مَوْسِمُ الْحَصَادِ، وَانْتَهَى الصَّيْفُ، وَنَحْنُ لَمْ نَخْلُصْ». | ٢٠ |
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
| لأَنَّ سَحْقَ أُورُشَلِيمَ هُوَ سَحْقِي، لِذَلِكَ أَنُوحُ وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ بِيَ الرُّعْبُ. | ٢١ |
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
| أَلا يُوْجَدُ بَلَسَانٌ فِي جِلْعَادَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ طَبِيبٌ؟ فَلِمَاذَا إِذَنْ لَمْ تُشفَ جُرُوحُ شَعْبِي. | ٢٢ |
