Jeremiah 27

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

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

2 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy 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 Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, 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 command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;

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

5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my out-stretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.

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

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

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

7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.

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

8 And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and 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, saith the LORD, 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 Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye 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 ye should perish.

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

11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; 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 also 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 ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against 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 Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye 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, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that 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 saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'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 Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?

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

18 But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not 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 saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain 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 took not, 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 saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of 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, saith the LORD; 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».
