Jeremiah 27

1 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,

١ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ مُلْكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، صَارَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامُ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 "Thus says YHWH to me: Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;

٢ «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: ٱصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ رُبُطًا وَأَنْيَارًا، وَٱجْعَلْهَا عَلَى عُنْقِكَ،

3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the people of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

٣ وَأَرْسِلْهَا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَدُومَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ مُوآبَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ صُورَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ صَيْدُونَ، بِيَدِ ٱلرُّسُلِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.

4 and give them a command to their masters, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, You shall tell your masters:

٤ وَأَوْصِهِمْ إِلَى سَادَتِهِمْ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَادَتِكُمْ:

5 "I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.

٥ إِنِّي أَنَا صَنَعْتُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، بِقُوَّتِي ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ وَبِذِرَاعِي ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ، وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا لِمَنْ حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ.

6 Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.

٦ وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ دَفَعْتُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي لِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ أَيْضًا حَيَوَانَ ٱلْحَقْلِ لِيَخْدِمَهُ.

7 All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.

٧ فَتَخْدِمُهُ كُلُّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَٱبْنَهُ وَٱبْنَ ٱبْنِهِ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَقْتُ أَرْضِهِ أَيْضًا، فَتَسْتَخْدِمُهُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمُلُوكٌ عِظَامٌ.

8 It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says YHWH, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

٨ وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلْأُمَّةَ أَوِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةَ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَخْدِمُ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، وَٱلَّتِي لَا تَجْعَلُ عُنُقَهَا تَحْتَ نِيرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، إِنِّي أُعَاقِبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهَا بِيَدِهِ.

9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon':

٩ فَلَا تَسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ لِأَنْبِيَائِكُمْ وَعَرَّافِيكُمْ وَحَالِمِيكُمْ وَعَائِفِيكُمْ وَسَحَرَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَخْدِمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ.

10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.

١٠ لِأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، لِكَيْ يُبْعِدُوكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ، وَلِأَطْرُدَكُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا.

11 But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, says YHWH; and they shall till it, and dwell in it."'"

١١ وَٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي تُدْخِلُ عُنُقَهَا تَحْتَ نِيرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتَخْدِمُهُ، أَجْعَلُهَا تَسْتَقِرُّ فِي أَرْضِهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَتَعْمَلُهَا وَتَسْكُنُ بِهَا».

12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

١٢ وَكَلَّمْتُ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، قَائِلًا: «أَدْخِلُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ تَحْتَ نِيرِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَٱخْدِمُوهُ وَشَعْبَهُ وَٱحْيَوْا.

13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

١٣ لِمَاذَا تَمُوتُونَ أَنْتَ وَشَعْبُكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ بِٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَخْدِمُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ؟

14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon'; for they prophesy a lie to you.

١٤ فَلَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَخْدِمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ.

15 'For I have not sent them,' says YHWH, 'but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.'"

١٥ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، بَلْ هُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِٱسْمِي بِٱلْكَذِبِ، لِكَيْ أَطْرُدَكُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا أَنْتُمْ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ».

16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, "Thus says YHWH: 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Look, the vessels of YHWH's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

١٦ وَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَكُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ أَنْبِيَائِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: هَا آنِيَةُ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ سَتُرَدُّ سَرِيعًا مِنْ بَابِلَ. لِأَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ.

17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?'

١٧ لَا تَسْمَعُوا لَهُمْ. اُخْدِمُوا مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَٱحْيَوْا. لِمَاذَا تَصِيرُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ خَرِبَةً؟

18 But if they are prophets and if the word of YHWH is with them, let them now make intercession with YHWH of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.

١٨ فَإِنْ كَانُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَهُمْ، فَلْيَتَوَسَّلُوا إِلَى رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ لِكَيْ لَا تَذْهَبَ إِلَى بَابِلَ ٱلْآنِيَةُ ٱلْبَاقِيَةُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

19 For thus says YHWH of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

١٩ «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَنِ ٱلْأَعْمِدَةِ وَعَنِ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَنِ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ،

20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

٢٠ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يَأْخُذْهَا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عِنْدَ سَبْيِهِ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ.

21 yes, thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:

٢١ إِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْآنِيَةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ:

22 'They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them,' says YHWH; 'then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.'"

٢٢ يُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱفْتِقَادِي إِيَّاهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَأُصْعِدُهَا وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ».
