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, that [was] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

١ اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، هِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلْأُولَى لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ،

2 Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

٢ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا:

3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, that [is] the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

٣ «مِنَ ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِيُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ فَكَلَّمْتُكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُكَلِّمًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا.

4 And the LORD hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them]; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

٤ وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُرْسِلًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ تُمِيلُوا أُذُنَكُمْ لِلسَّمْعِ،

5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given to you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

٥ قَائِلِينَ: ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ وَعَنْ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَٱسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهَا وَآبَاءَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

٦ وَلَا تَسْلُكُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا، وَلَا تَغِيظُونِي بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَلَا أُسِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

7 Yet ye have not hearkened to me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

٧ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِتَغِيظُونِي بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ شَرًّا لَكُمْ.

8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,

٨ «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِي

9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

٩ هَأَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ فَآخُذُ كُلَّ عَشَائِرِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ عَبْدِي مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِهَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ حَوَالَيْهَا، فَأُحَرِّمُهُمْ وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ دَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا وَخِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.

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 candle.

١٠ وَأُبِيدُ مِنْهُمْ صَوْتَ ٱلطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْفَرَحِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْعَرُوسِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْأَرْحِيَةِ وَنُورَ ٱلسِّرَاجِ.

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

١١ وَتَصِيرُ كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَابًا وَدَهَشًا، وَتَخْدِمُ هَذِهِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

١٢ «وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلسَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً أَنِّي أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، وَتِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ وَأَرْضَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَأَجْعَلُهَا خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.

13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, [even] all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

١٣ وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ كَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا، كُلَّ مَا كُتِبَ فِي هَذَا ٱلسِّفْرِ ٱلَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

14 For many nations and great kings shall reduce them to subjection also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

١٤ لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَعْبَدَهُمْ أَيْضًا أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمُلُوكٌ عِظَامٌ، فَأُجَازِيهِمْ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَحَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ».

15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel to me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

١٥ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «خُذْ كَأْسَ خَمْرِ هَذَا ٱلسَّخَطِ مِنْ يَدِي، وَٱسْقِ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلُكَ أَنَا إِلَيْهِمْ إِيَّاهَا.

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and enraged, because of the sword that I will send among them.

١٦ فَيَشْرَبُوا وَيَتَرَنَّحُوا وَيَتَجَنَّنُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ أَنَا بَيْنَهُمْ».

17 Then I took the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:

١٧ فَأَخَذْتُ ٱلْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَسَقَيْتُ كُلَّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ.

18 [To wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and her kings, and her princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse; as [it is] this day;

١٨ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا وَمُلُوكَهَا وَرُؤَسَاءَهَا، لِجَعْلِهَا خَرَابًا وَدَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا وَلَعْنَةً كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

١٩ وَفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ وَعَبِيدَهُ وَرُؤَسَاءَهُ وَكُلَّ شَعْبِهِ.

20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

٢٠ وَكُلَّ ٱللَّفِيفِ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ أَرْضِ عُوصَ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ أَرْضِ فِلِسْطِينَ وَأَشْقَلُونَ وَغَزَّةَ وَعَقْرُونَ وَبَقِيَّةَ أَشْدُودَ،

21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

٢١ وَأَدُومَ وَمُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ،

22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,

٢٢ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صُورَ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ صِيدُونَ، وَمُلُوكِ ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ،

23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all [that are] in the utmost corners,

٢٣ وَدَدَانَ وَتَيْمَاءَ وَبُوزَ، وَكُلَّ مَقْصُوصِي ٱلشَّعْرِ مُسْتَدِيرًا،

24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

٢٤ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْعَرَبِ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱللَّفِيفِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ،

25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

٢٥ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ زِمْرِي، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ عِيلَامَ، وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ مَادِي،

26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which [are] upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

٢٦ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱلشِّمَالِ ٱلْقَرِيبِينَ وَٱلْبَعِيدِينَ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ أَخِيهِ، وَكُلَّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمَلِكُ شِيشَكَ يَشْرَبُ بَعْدَهُمْ.

27 Therefore thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

٢٧ وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ٱشْرَبُوا وَٱسْكَرُوا وَتَقَيَّأُوا وَٱسْقُطُوا وَلَا تَقُومُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ أَنَا بَيْنَكُمْ.

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

٢٨ وَيَكُونُ إِذَا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا ٱلْكَأْسَ مِنْ يَدِكَ لِيَشْرَبُوا، أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: تَشْرَبُونَ شُرْبًا.

29 For lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

٢٩ لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أَبْتَدِئُ أُسِيءُ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي دُعِيَ ٱسْمِي عَلَيْهَا، فَهَلْ تَتَبَرَّأُونَ أَنْتُمْ؟ لَا تَتَبَرَّأُونَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا أَدْعُو ٱلسَّيْفَ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say to them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth.

٣٠ وَأَنْتَ فَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ يُزَمْجِرُ، وَمِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ يُطْلِقُ صَوْتَهُ، يَزْأَرُ زَئِيرًا عَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، بِهُتَافٍ كَٱلدَّائِسِينَ يَصْرُخُ ضِدَّ كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

31 A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.

٣١ بَلَغَ ٱلضَّجِيجُ إِلَى أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. هُوَ يُحَاكِمُ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ. يَدْفَعُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ لِلسَّيْفِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised from the borders of the earth.

٣٢ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هُوَذَا ٱلشَّرُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَيَنْهَضُ نَوْءٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

٣٣ وَتَكُونُ قَتْلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا يُنْدَبُونَ وَلَا يُضَمُّونَ وَلَا يُدْفَنُونَ. يَكُونُونَ دِمْنَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

٣٤ وَلْوِلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَٱصْرُخُوا، وَتَمَرَّغُوا يَا رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، لِأَنَّ أَيَّامَكُمْ قَدْ كَمَلَتْ لِلذَّبْحِ. وَأُبَدِّدُكُمْ فَتَسْقُطُونَ كَإِنَاءٍ شَهِيٍّ.

35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

٣٥ وَيَبِيدُ ٱلْمَنَاصُ عَنِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَٱلنَّجَاةُ عَنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ.

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, [shall be heard]: for the LORD hath laid waste their pasture.

٣٦ صَوْتُ صُرَاخِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَوَلْوَلَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مَرْعَاهُمْ.

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down, because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

٣٧ وَبَادَتْ مَرَاعِي ٱلسَّلَامِ مِنْ أَجْلِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

٣٨ تَرَكَ كَشِبْلٍ عِيصَهُ، لِأَنَّ أَرْضَهُمْ صَارَتْ خَرَابًا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلظَّالِمِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ.
