Jeremiah 30

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying: —

١ اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 Thus, speaketh Yahweh, God of Israel, saying, —Write thee all the words which I have spoken unto thee in a scroll;

٢ «هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: ٱكْتُبْ كُلَّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي سِفْرٍ،

3 For lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, Saith Yahweh, —and will bring them back into the land which I gave to their fathers that they might possess it.

٣ لِأَنَّهُ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ آبَاءَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا فَيَمْتَلِكُونَهَا».

4 Now, these, are the words which Yahweh hath spoken against Israel and against Judah:

٤ فَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَنْ يَهُوذَا:

5 Yea, thus, saith Yahweh, A voice of trembling, have we heard, Dread and not welfare!

٥ «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: صَوْتَ ٱرْتِعَادٍ سَمِعْنَا. خَوْفٌ وَلَا سَلَامٌ.

6 Ask, I pray you, and see, whether a male travaileth with child! Why have I seen Every man with his hands upon his loins like a woman in travail, and Every face turned into ghastliness?

٦ اِسْأَلُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا إِنْ كَانَ ذَكَرٌ يَضَعُ! لِمَاذَا أَرَى كُلَّ رَجُلٍ يَدَاهُ عَلَى حَقْوَيْهِ كَمَاخِضٍ، وَتَحَوَّلَ كُلُّ وَجْهٍ إِلَى صُفْرَةٍ؟

7 Alas! for, great, is that day, so that none is like it, —Yea, a time of anguish it is for Jacob, But out of it, shall he be saved.

٧ آهِ! لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَظِيمٌ وَلَيْسَ مِثْلُهُ. وَهُوَ وَقْتُ ضِيقٍ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيُخَلَّصُ مِنْهُ.

8 And it shall come to pass in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bonds, will I tear off, —And foreigners shall use him as a slave no more;

٨ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، أَنِّي أَكْسِرُ نِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ، وَأَقْطَعُ رُبُطَكَ، وَلَا يَسْتَعْبِدُهُ بَعْدُ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ،

9 But they shall serve Yahweh their God, —and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

٩ بَلْ يَخْدِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ وَدَاوُدَ مَلِكَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي أُقِيمُهُ لَهُمْ.

10 Thou therefore do not fear O my Servant Jacob Urgeth Yahweh, Neither be thou dismayed, O Israel, For behold me! saving thee from afar And thy seed out of the land of their captivity, —Then shall Jacob return, and rest and be quiet, And there shall be none to make him afraid;

١٠ «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ فَلَا تَخَفْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُخَلِّصُكَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَنَسْلَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِ، فَيَرْجِعُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَطْمَئِنُّ وَيَسْتَرِيحُ وَلَا مُزْعِجَ.

11 For with thee, am, I, Declareth Yahweh To save thee, —Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet will I not of thee, make an end, But will chastise thee in measure, not holding thee, guiltless!

١١ لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأُخَلِّصَكَ. وَإِنْ أَفْنَيْتُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدْتُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَأَنْتَ لَا أُفْنِيكَ، بَلْ أُؤَدِّبُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَلَا أُبَرِّئُكَ تَبْرِئَةً.

12 For Thus, saith Yahweh—incurable is thine injury, —Grievous is thy wound:

١٢ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: كَسْرُكِ عَدِيمُ ٱلْجَبْرِ وَجُرْحُكِ عُضَالٌ.

13 There is none to plead thy cause for binding thee up, —Healing bandages, hast thou none:

١٣ لَيْسَ مَنْ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَكِ لِلْعَصْرِ. لَيْسَ لَكِ عَقَاقِيرُ رِفَادَةٍ.

14 All thy lovers, have forgotten thee, Thyself, do they not seek, —For With the wounding of an enemy, have I wounded thee With the correction of one who is cruel, Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, Because numerous have been thy sins.

١٤ قَدْ نَسِيَكِ كُلُّ مُحِبِّيكِ. إِيَّاكِ لَمْ يَطْلُبُوا. لِأَنِّي ضَرَبْتُكِ ضِرْبَةَ عَدُوٍّ، تَأْدِيبَ قَاسٍ، لِأَنَّ إِثْمَكِ قَدْ كَثُرَ، وَخَطَايَاكِ تَعَاظَمَتْ.

15 Why shouldst thou make outcry over thine injury, Incurable is thy pain? Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, [Because] numerous have been thy sins Have I done these things unto thee.

١٥ مَا بَالُكِ تَصْرُخِينَ بِسَبَبِ كَسْرِكِ؟ جُرْحُكِ عَدِيمُ ٱلْبَرْءِ، لِأَنَّ إِثْمَكِ قَدْ كَثُرَ، وَخَطَايَاكِ تَعَاظَمَتْ، قَدْ صَنَعْتُ هَذِهِ بِكِ.

16 Therefore, all who devour thee, shall be devoured, And, all thine adversaries—all of them, into captivity, shall depart, —So shall they who plundered thee, be plundered, And all who preyed upon thee, will I deliver up as a prey.

١٦ لِذَلِكَ يُؤْكَلُ كُلُّ آكِلِيكِ، وَيَذْهَبُ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِكِ قَاطِبَةً إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ، وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ سَالِبِيكِ سَلْبًا، وَأَدْفَعُ كُلَّ نَاهِبِيكِ لِلنَّهْبِ.

17 For I will put a bandage upon thee, And from thy wounds, will I heal thee Declareth Yahweh, —Because An outcast, they called thee, ‘Tis, Zion! who hath none to ask for her welfare,

١٧ لِأَنِّي أَرْفُدُكِ وَأَشْفِيكِ مِنْ جُرُوحِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَعَوْكِ مَنْفِيَّةَ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلَّتِي لَا سَائِلَ عَنْهَا.

18 Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! bringing back the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And on his habitations, will I have compassion, —So shall the city be built, upon her own mound, And the citadel, upon its own site, shall remain:

١٨ «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ خِيَامِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَرْحَمُ مَسَاكِنَهُ، وَتُبْنَى ٱلْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى تَلِّهَا، وَٱلْقَصْرُ يُسْكَنُ عَلَى عَادَتِهِ.

19 So shall there proceed from them thanksgiving, and The sound of them who make merry, —And I will multiply them, and they shall not become few, And will make them honourable, and they shall not be despised:

١٩ وَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ ٱللَّاعِبِينَ، وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ وَلَا يَقِلُّونَ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَصْغُرُونَ.

20 And, his sons, shall come to be as aforetime, And, his assembly, before me, shall continue, —And I will bring punishment on all his oppressors;

٢٠ وَيَكُونُ بَنُوهُمْ كَمَا فِي ٱلْقَدِيمِ، وَجَمَاعَتُهُمْ تَثْبُتُ أَمَامِي، وَأُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ.

21 And, his illustrious one, shall spring, from himself, And his ruler, from his own midst, shall proceed, And I will bring him near and he shall approach unto me, —For who is there that hath pledged his own heart to approach unto me? Demandeth Yahweh:

٢١ وَيَكُونُ حَاكِمُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ، وَيَخْرُجُ وَالِيهِمْ مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ، وَأُقَرِّبُهُ فَيَدْنُو إِلَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَرْهَنَ قَلْبَهُ لِيَدْنُوَ إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟

22 So shall ye become my people; And, I, will become your God.

٢٢ وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا».

23 Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, A tempest rolling itself upward, —Upon the head of the lawless ones, shall it hurl itself down!

٢٣ هُوَذَا زَوْبَعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَخْرُجُ بِغَضَبٍ، نَوْءٌ جَارِفٌ. عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَثُورُ.

24 The fierceness of the anger of Yahweh will not turn back, Until he hath executed nor Until he hath established The purposes of his heart, —In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it.

٢٤ لَا يَرْتَدُّ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ، وَحَتَّى يُقِيمَ مَقَاصِدَ قَلْبِهِ. فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ تَفْهَمُونَهَا.
