Jeremiah 20
1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
| وَسَمِعَ الْكَاهِنُ فَشْحُورُ بْنُ إِمِّيرَ الَّذِي كَانَ النَّاظِرَ الأَوَّلَ عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِرْمِيَا يَتَنَبَّأُ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، | ١ |
2 Then Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, which [was] by the house of the LORD.
| فَضَرَبَ فَشْحُورُ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيَّ وَزَجَّهُ فِي الْمِقْطَرَةِ الَّتِي بِبَابِ بِنْيَامِينَ الأَعْلَى الَّذِي عِنْدَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢ |
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي عِنْدَمَا أَخْرَجَ فَشْحُورُ إِرْمِيَا مِنَ الْمِقْطَرَةِ، قَالَ لَهُ إِرْمِيَا: «إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَدْعُ اسْمَكَ فَشْحُورَ، بَلْ مَجُورَ مِسَّابِيبَ (أَيْ: رُعْباً مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ). | ٣ |
4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall behold [it]: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
| هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ:’هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُكَ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعَ أَحِبَّائِكَ عُرْضَةً لِلرُّعْبِ فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ بِحَدِّ سُيُوفِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْكَ، وَأُسْلِمُ كُلَّ أَهْلِ يَهُوذَا لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيُجْلِيهِمْ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَيَذْبَحُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ. | ٤ |
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all its labors, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall pillage them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
| وَأَدْفَعُ كُلَّ ثَرْوَةِ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكُلَّ نِتَاجِهَا وَنَفَائِسِهَا، وَكُلَّ كُنُوزِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى يَدِ أَعْدَائِهَا، فَيَغْنَمُونَهَا وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَنْقُلُونَهَا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى بَابِلَ. | ٥ |
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا فَشْحُورُ وَجَمِيعُ الْمُقِيمِينَ مَعَكَ فِي بَيْتِكَ فَتَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى الأَسْرِ فِي بَابِلَ حَيْثُ تَمُوتُ وَتُدْفَنُ هُنَاكَ أَنْتَ وَسَائِرُ أَحِبَّائِكَ الَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأْتَ لَهُمْ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ.‘» | ٦ |
7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
| يَا رَبُّ قَدْ أَقْنَعْتَنِي فَاقْتَنَعْتُ، أَنْتَ أَقْوَى مِنِّي فَغَلَبْتَ، فَأَصْبَحْتُ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ طَوَالَ النَّهَارِ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِي. | ٧ |
8 For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.
| لأَنِّي كُلَّمَا تَكَلَّمْتُ أَصْرُخُ مُنَدِّداً، وَأُنَادِي: «ظُلْمٌ وَاغْتِصَابٌ» فَجَلَبَتْ عَلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الاحْتِقَارَ وَالْعَارَ طَوَالَ النَّهَارِ. | ٨ |
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But [his word] was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].
| إِنْ قُلْتُ: «سَأَكُفُّ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِ وَلا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِاسْمِهِ بَعْدُ» صَارَ كَلامُهُ فِي قَلْبِي كَنَارٍ مُحْرِقَةٍ مَحْصُورَةٍ فِي عِظَامِي، فَأَعْيَانِي كِتْمَانُهُ وَعَجَزْتُ عَنْ كَبْتِهِ. | ٩ |
10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, [saying], Perhaps he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
| لأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ نَفَثَاتِ تَهْدِيدٍ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ، وَأَحَاطَ بِي رُعْبٌ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. يَقُولُونَ: «اشْتَكُوا عَلَيْهِ فَنَشْتَكِيَ عَلَيْهِ»، حَتَّى جَمِيعُ أَصْدِقَائِي الْحَمِيمِينَ يَرْقُبُونَ كَبْوَتِي قَائِلِينَ: «لَعَلَّهُ يَتَعَثَّرُ فَنَتَغَلَّبَ عَلَيْهِ وَنَنْتَقِمَ مِنْهُ». | ١٠ |
11 But the LORD [is] with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
| لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعِي كَمُحَارِبٍ جَبَّارٍ، لِهَذَا يَعْثُرُ كُلُّ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ وَلا يَظْفَرُونَ بِي. يَلْحَقُ بِهِمْ عَارٌ عَظِيمٌ لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ، وَيَظَلُّ خِزْيُهُمْ مَذْكُوراً إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١١ |
12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, [and] seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to thee have I opened my cause.
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مُخْتَبِرُ الصِّدِّيقِ وَالْمُطَّلِعُ عَلَى سَرَائِرِ النُّفُوسِ، دَعْنِي أَشْهَدُ انْتِقَامَكَ مِنْهُمْ لأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ فَوَّضْتُ قَضِيَّتِي. | ١٢ |
13 Sing to the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.
| اشْدُوا لِلرَّبِّ وَسَبِّحُوهُ، لأَنَّهُ أَنْقَذَ نَفْسَ الْمِسْكِينِ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. | ١٣ |
14 Cursed [be] the day in which I was born: let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
| لِيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَلْيَخْلُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْنِي فِيهِ أُمِّي مِنْ كُلِّ بَرَكَةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to thee; making him very glad.
| لِيَكُنْ مَلْعُوناً ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ أَبِي قَائِلاً: قَدْ وُلِدَ لَكَ ابْنٌ فَجَعَلَ قَلْبَهُ يَفِيضُ بِالْفَرَحِ. | ١٥ |
16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noon;
| لِيُصْبِحْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ كَالْمُدُنِ الَّتِي قَلَبَهَا الرَّبُّ مِنَ غَيْرِ رِفْقٍ، وَليَسْمَعْ صُرَاخَ الْمَعَارِكِ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَضَجِيجَ جَلَبَتِهَا عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 Because he slew me not at my birth; or that my mother might have been my grave, and she had not been delivered.
| لِيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مَلْعَوناً لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْنِي مِنَ الرَّحِمِ، فَتَضْحَى أُمِّي قَبْراً لِي، وَتَظَلُّ حُبْلَى بِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٧ |
18 Why was I brought into the world to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
| لِمَاذَا خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ لأُقَاسِيَ التَّعَبَ وَالأَوْجَاعَ، وَأُفْنِيَ أَيَّامِي بِالْخِزْيِ؟ | ١٨ |
