< Jeremiah 25 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنْ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ الأُولَى مِنْ مُلْكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.١
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي خَاطَبَ بِها إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ كُلَّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا وَجَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلاً:٢
3 "From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
«عَلَى مَدَى ثَلاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، أَيْ مُنْدُ السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَحَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَالرَّبُّ يُوْحِي إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ، فَخَاطَبْتُكُمْ بِها تَكْرَاراً مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا.٣
4 The LORD has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear)
وَمَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَاظَبَ عَلَى إِرْسَالِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُصْغُوا وَلَمْ تَسْتَمِعُوا لإِنْذَارَاتِهِ.٤
5 saying, 'Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
وَقَدْ قَالُوا لَكُمْ: تُوبُوا الآنَ. لِيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ طُرُقِهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ وَمُمَارَسَاتِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ فَتُقِيمُوا فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى مَدَى الدُّهُورِ،٥
6 and do not go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
وَلا تَضِلُّوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا، وَلا تُثِيرُوا غَيْظِي بِمَا تَصْنَعُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْ أَوْثَانٍ. عِنْدَئِذٍ لَا أُنْزِلُ بِكُمْ أَذىً.٦
7 Yet you have not listened to me,' says the LORD; 'that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.'
غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، بَلْ أَثَرْتُمْ غَيْظِي بِمَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَاسْتَجْلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمُ الشَّرَّ».٧
8 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Because you have not heard my words,
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «لأَنَّكُمْ عَصَيْتُمْ كَلامِي،٨
9 look, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says the LORD, 'and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
فَهَا أَنَا أُجَنِّدُ جَمِيعَ قَبَائِلِ الشِّمَالِ بِقِيَادَةِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ عَبْدِي، وَآتِي بِها إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَيَجْتَاحُونَهَا وَيُهْلِكُونَ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِهَا مَعَ سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ مَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ وَصَفِيرٍ، وَخَرَائِبَ أَبَدِيَّةً.٩
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
وَأُبِيدُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ أَهَازِيجَ الْفَرَحِ وَالطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ غِنَاءِ الْعَرِيسِ وَالْعَرُوسِ، وَضَجِيجَ الرَّحَى وَنُورَ السِّرَاجِ.١٠
11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
فَتُصْبِحُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ بِأَسْرِهَا قَفْراً خَرَاباً، وَتُسْتَعْبَدُ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ الأُمَمِ لِمَلِكِ بَابِلَ طَوَالَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.١١
12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
وَفِي خِتَامِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَأُمَّتَهُ، وَأَرْضَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُحَوِّلُهَا إِلَى خَرَابٍ أَبَدِيٍّ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.١٢
13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this scroll, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
«وَأُنَفِّذُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي نَطَقْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا، كُلَّ مَا دُوِّنَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ وَتَنَبَّأَ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.١٣
14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.'"
إِذْ أَنَّ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً وَمُلُوكاً عُظَمَاءَ يَسْتَعْبِدُونَهُمْ أَيْضاً، وَهَكَذَا أُجَازِيهِمْ بِمُقْتَضَى أَفْعَالِهِمْ وَمَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ أَثِيمَةٍ».١٤
15 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
وَهَذَا مَا أَعْلَنَهُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «خُذْ كَأْسَ خَمْرِ غَضَبِي مِنْ يَدِي، وَاسْقِ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهَا،١٥
16 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
فَتَشْرَبَ وَتَتَرَنَّحَ، وَتُجَنَّ بِفِعْلِ السَّيْفِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ بَيْنَهَا».١٦
17 Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
فَتَنَاوَلْتُ الْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ وَسَقَيْتُ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْهَا الرَّبُّ:١٧
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا وَمُلُوكَهَا وَعُظَمَاءَهَا، لأَجْعَلَهَا قَفْراً خَرَاباً وَمَثَارَ صَفِيرٍ وَلَعْنَةٍ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.١٨
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, and all his people;
وَسَقَيْتُ مِنْهَا كَذَلِكَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ وَخُدَّامَهُ وَعُظَمَاءَهُ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِهِ،١٩
20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
وَكُلَّ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِ أَرْضِ عُوصَ، وَسَائِرَ مُلُوكِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: مُلُوكَ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَغَزَّةَ، وَعَقْرُونَ وَبَقِيَّةَ أَشْدُودَ،٢٠
21 Edom, and Moab, and the people of Ammon;
وَأَدُومَ، وَمُوآبَ، وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ،٢١
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صُورَ وَصِيدُونَ وَمُلُوكَ الْجَزَائِرِ عَبْرَ الْبَحْرِ،٢٢
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
وَدَدَانَ وَتَيْمَاءَ وَبُوزَ، وَكُلَّ ذَوِي الشَّعْرِ الْمَقْصُوصِ الزَّوَايَا،٢٣
24 and all the kings of Arabia, [and all the kings of the mixed people] who dwell in the wilderness;
وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ الْعَرَبِ، وَسَائِرَ مُلُوكِ الْقَبَائِلِ الْمُنْضَمَّةِ إِلَيْهِمْ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ،٢٤
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ زِمْرِي، وَعِيلامَ، وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِ مَادِي.٢٥
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ الشِّمَالِ، الْقَرِيبِينَ وَالْبَعِيدِينَ، الْوَاحِدَ تِلْوَ الآخَرِ، وَكُلَّ الْمَمَالِكِ الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا مَلِكُ بَابِلَ.٢٦
27 "You shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."'
ثُمَّ قُلْ لَهُمْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: اشْرَبُوا وَاسْكَرُوا وَتَقَيَّأُوا وَاسْقُطُوا صَرْعَى، وَلا تَقُومُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ السَّيْفِ الَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.٢٧
28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "You shall surely drink.
وَإِنْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُوا الْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِكَ لِيَشْرَبُوا مِنْهَا، فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: لابُدَّ لَكُمْ مِنْ شُرْبِهَا،٢٨
29 For, look, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,"' says the LORD of hosts.
لأَنِّي شَرَعْتُ أُعَاقِبُ الْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي دُعِيَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهَا، فَهَلْ تُفْلِتُونَ أَنْتُمْ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ؟ فَهَا أَنَا قَدْ سَلَّطْتُ السَّيْفَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.٢٩
30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, 'The LORD will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكُلِّ هَذَا الْقَضَاءِ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: «الرَّبُّ يَزْأَرُ مِنَ الْعَلاءِ، وَمِنَ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ يُدَوِّي صَوْتُهُ. يَزْأَرُ زَئِيراً عَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، وَيَجْهَرُ هَاتِفاً عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ كَمَا يَجْهَرُ الدَّائِسُونَ عَلَى الْعِنَبِ».٣٠
31 A noise shall come even to the remotest parts of the earth; for the LORD brings charges against the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,' says the LORD.
قَدْ بَلَغَتِ الْجَلَبَةُ جَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ دَعْوَى عَلَى الأُمَمِ، فَيَدْخُلُ فِي مُحَاكَمَةٍ مَعَ الْبَشَرِ، وَيُلْقِي بِالأَشْرَارِ إِلَى السَّيْفِ.٣١
32 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Look, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.'
هَا الشَّرُّ يَنْدَفِعُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَهَا زَوْبَعَةٌ رَهِيبَةٌ تَثُورُ مِنْ أَقْصَى أَطْرَافِ الأَرْضِ.٣٢
33 The slain of the LORD shall be on that day from all areas of the earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
وَيَنْتَشِرُ قَتْلَى غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَومِ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا. لَا يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يُجْمَعُونَ وَلا يُدْفَنُونَ، بَلْ يَصِيرُونَ نُفَايَةً فَوْقَ سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ.٣٣
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in dust, you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly vessel.
وَلْوِلُوا أَيُّهَا الرُّعَاةُ وَابْكُوا، تَمَرَّغُوا فِي الرَّمَادِ يَا قَادَةَ الشَّعْبِ، لأَنَّ أَوَانَ ذَبْحِكُمْ قَدْ حَانَ، فَأُشَتِّتُكُمْ فَتَسْقُطُونَ (وَتَتَنَاثَرُونَ) كَإِنَاءٍ فَاخِرٍ.٣٤
35 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
لَنْ يَبْقَى لِلرُّعَاةِ مَلْجَأٌ يَلُوذُونَ بِهِ، وَلا مَهْرَبٌ لِقَادَةِ الشَّعْبِ.٣٥
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock. For the LORD lays waste their pasture.
اسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ الرُّعَاةِ وَوَلْوَلَةَ قَادَةِ الشَّعْبِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُتْلِفُ مَرَاعِيَهُمْ.٣٦
37 The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
عَمَّ الْخَرَابُ الْمَوَاقِعَ الَّتِي يَسُودُهَا السَّلامُ مِنْ فَرْطِ غَضَبِ اللهِ الْعَنِيفِ.٣٧
38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment, because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."
قَدْ هَجَرَ كَالشِّبْلِ عَرِينَهُ، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ صَارَتْ خَرَاباً مِنْ سَيْفِ الْعَاتِي، مِنْ شِدَّةِ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِهِ.٣٨
