Jeremiah 12
1 You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?
| أَنْتَ دَائِماً عَادِلٌ حِينَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكَ دَعْوَايَ، وَلَكِنْ دَعْنِي أُحَدِّثُكَ بِشَأْنِ أَحْكَامِكَ: لِمَاذَا تُفْلِحُ طَرِيقُ الأَشْرَارِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا يَتَمَتَّعُ الْغَادِرُونَ بِالْعَيْشِ الرَّغِيدِ؟ | ١ |
2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
| أَنْتَ غَرَسْتَهُمْ فَتَأَصَّلُوا وَنَمَوْا وَأَثْمَرُوا. اسْمُكَ يَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ بَعِيدٌ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ. | ٢ |
3 But you, LORD, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
| أَنْتَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَنِي وَرَأَيْتَنِي وَامْتَحَنْتَ قَلْبِي مِنْ نَحْوِكَ. افْرِزْهُمْ كَغَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ وَاعْزِلْهُمْ لِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ. | ٣ |
4 How long shall the land be parched, and the grass of every field wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the animals are consumed, and the birds; because they said, "He shall not see our latter end."
| إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّ الأَرْضُ نَائِحَةً وَعُشْبُ كُلِّ حَقْلٍ ذَاوِياً؟ هَلَكَتِ الْبَهَائِمُ والطُّيُورُ مِنْ شَرِّ السَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا الْقَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَرَى خَاتِمَةَ مَصِيرِنَا». | ٤ |
5 "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
| «إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ بَارَيْتَ الْمُشَاةَ فَأَعْيَوْكَ، فَكَيْفَ إِذاً تُبَارِي الْخَيْلَ؟ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَتَعَثَّرُ فِي أَرْضٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ، فَكَيْفَ تَفْعَلُ فِي أَجَمَاتِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ؟ | ٥ |
6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after you: do not believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
| حَتَّى إِخْوَتُكَ وَأَفْرَادُ أُسْرَتِكَ قَدْ تَنَكَّرُوا لَكَ، وَدَعَوْا عَلَيْكَ وَرَاءَكَ بِمِلْءِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ. لَا تَأْتَمِنْهُمْ، وَإِنْ خَاطَبُوكَ بِأَلْفَاظٍ مَعْسُولَةٍ. | ٦ |
7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
| قَدْ نَبَذْتُ هَيْكَلِي وَهَجَرْتُ مِيرَاثِي، وَسَلَّمْتُ حَبِيبَةَ نَفْسِي إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهَا. | ٧ |
8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
| قَدْ زَمْجَرَ عَلَيَّ شَعْبِي كَأَسَدٍ فِي غَابَةٍ. رَفَعَ عَلَيَّ صَوْتَهُ، لِهَذَا مَقَتُّهُ. | ٨ |
9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field, bring them to devour.
| هَلْ صَارَ شَعْبِي لِي كَطَيْرٍ جَارِحٍ مُنْقَضٍّ؟ وَهَلْ تَجَمَّعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْجَوَارِحُ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ؟ هَلُمَّ احْشِدْ جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّ، وَادْعُهَا لِلأَكْلِ. | ٩ |
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
| قَدْ أَتْلَفَ رُعَاةٌ كَثِيرُونَ كَرْمِي، وَدَاسُوا نَصِيبِي الشَّهِيَّ وَجَعَلُوهُ بَرِّيَّةً جَرْدَاءَ. | ١٠ |
11 They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
| جَعَلُوهُ خَرَاباً، وَفِي خَرَابِهِ يَنُوحُ عَلَيَّ. أَصْبَحَتِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا قَفْراً، لأَنَّهُ لَا يُوْجَدُ إِنْسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ يَحْفِلُ بِها. | ١١ |
12 Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
| قَدْ أَقْبَلَ الْمُدَمِّرُونَ وَانْتَشَرُوا عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، لأَنَّ سَيْفَ الرَّبِّ يَلْتَهِمُ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا، فَلا يَنْعَمُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ بِالسَّلامِ. | ١٢ |
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
| زَرَعَ شَعْبِي حِنْطَةً وَحَصَدَ شَوْكاً. أَعْيَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَدْوَى، لِذَلِكَ يَعْتَرِيهِمِ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ قِلَّةِ غَلّاتِ مَحْصُولِهِمْ لِفَرْطِ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ». | ١٣ |
14 Thus says the LORD against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: 'look, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ جَمِيعِ جِيرَانِي الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ يَمَسُّونَ الْمِيرَاثَ الَّذِي وَرَّثْتُهُ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْتَلِعُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ كَمَا أَقْتَلِعُ أَيْضاً شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
| وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَسْتَأْصِلَهُمْ، أَتَرأَّفُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأُعِيدُهُمْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مِيرَاثِهِ وَإِلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ١٥ |
16 It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, "As the LORD lives;" even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
| فَإِنْ تَلَقَّنَتِ الأُمَمُ طُرُقَ شَعْبِي بِاسْمِي، قَائِلِينَ:’حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ‘، كَمَا عَلَّمُوا شَعْبِي أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِالْبَعْلِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَنْمُونَ وَسَطَ شَعْبِي. | ١٦ |
17 But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,'" says the LORD.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَفَضَتْ أَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ الاسْتِمَاعَ، فَإِنِّي أَسْتَأْصِلُهَا وَأَقْتَلِعُهَا وَأُدَمِّرُهَا»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٧ |
