Jeremiah 32

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

١ اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْعَاشِرَةِ لِصِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، هِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلثَّامِنَةُ عَشَرَةَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ،

2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the court of the prison, which [was] in the king of Judah's house.

٢ وَكَانَ حِينَئِذٍ جَيْشُ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ يُحَاصِرُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَحْبُوسًا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had confined him, saying, Why dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

٣ لِأَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا حَبَسَهُ قَائِلًا: «لِمَاذَا تَنَبَّأْتَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَأْخُذُهَا؟

4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

٤ وَصِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لَا يُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ بَلْ إِنَّمَا يُدْفَعُ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَيُكَلِّمُهُ فَمًا لِفَمٍ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَرَيَانِ عَيْنَيْهِ،

5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

٥ وَيَسِيرُ بِصِدْقِيَّا إِلَى بَابِلَ فَيَكُونُ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى أَفْتَقِدَهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. إِنْ حَارَبْتُمُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لَا تَنْجَحُونَ».

6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

٦ فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا: «كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَتْ إِلَيَّ قَائِلَةً:

7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thy uncle shall come to thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that [is] in Anathoth: for the right of redemption [is] thine to buy [it].

٧ هُوَذَا حَنَمْئِيلُ بْنُ شَلُّومَ عَمِّكَ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: ٱشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ حَقْلِي ٱلَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ ٱلْفِكَاكِ لِلشِّرَاءِ».

8 So Hanameel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison, according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.

٨ فَجَاءَ إِلَيَّ حَنَمْئِيلُ ٱبْنُ عَمِّي حَسَبَ كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَقَالَ لِي: «ٱشْتَرِ حَقْلِي ٱلَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ ٱلْإِرْثِ، وَلَكَ ٱلْفِكَاكُ. ٱشْتَرِهِ لِنَفْسِكَ». فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that [was] in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, [even] seventeen shekels of silver.

٩ فَٱشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْ حَنَمْئِيلَ ٱبْنِ عَمِّي ٱلْحَقْلَ ٱلَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ، وَوَزَنْتُ لَهُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ، سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَاقِلًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ.

10 And I subscribed the contract, and sealed [it], and took witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in the balances.

١٠ وَكَتَبْتُهُ فِي صَكٍّ وَخَتَمْتُ وَأَشْهَدْتُ شُهُودًا، وَوَزَنْتُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ بِمَوَازِينَ.

11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, [both] that which was sealed [according] to the law and custom, and that which was open:

١١ وَأَخَذْتُ صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ ٱلْمَخْتُومَ حَسَبَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ وَٱلْفَرِيضَةِ وَٱلْمَفْتُوحَ.

12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

١٢ وَسَلَّمْتُ صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَا أَمَامَ حَنَمْئِيلَ ٱبْنِ عَمِّي، وَأَمَامَ ٱلشُّهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمْضَوْا صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

١٣ وَأَوْصَيْتُ بَارُوخَ أَمَامَهُمْ قَائِلًا:

14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

١٤ «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: خُذْ هَذَيْنِ ٱلصَّكَّيْنِ، صَكَّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ هَذَا ٱلْمَخْتُومَ، وَٱلصَّكَّ ٱلْمَفْتُوحَ هَذَا، وَٱجْعَلْهُمَا فِي إِنَاءٍ مِنْ خَزَفٍ لِكَيْ يَبْقَيَا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.

15 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

١٥ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَشْتَرُونَ بَعْدُ بُيُوتًا وَحُقُولًا وَكُرُومًا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,

١٦ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدَ تَسْلِيمِ صَكِّ ٱلشِّرَاءِ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا قَائِلًا:

17 Ah LORD God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and out-stretched arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee:

١٧ «آهِ، أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَا إِنَّكَ قَدْ صَنَعْتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقُوَّتِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، وَبِذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ. لَا يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ.

18 Thou showest loving-kindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, JEHOVAH of hosts, [is] his name,

١٨ صَانِعُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ لِأُلُوفٍ، وَمُجَازِي ذَنْبِ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي حِضْنِ بَنِيهِمْ بَعْدَهُمُ، ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْجَبَّارُ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thy eyes [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

١٩ عَظِيمٌ فِي ٱلْمَشُورَةِ، وَقَادِرٌ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ، ٱلَّذِي عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ عَلَى كُلِّ طُرُقِ بَنِي آدَمَ لِتُعْطِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ طُرُقِهِ، وَحَسَبَ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِهِ.

20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] to this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

٢٠ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتَ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي ٱلنَّاسِ، وَجَعَلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱسْمًا كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ،

21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with great terror;

٢١ وَأَخْرَجْتَ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ، وَبِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ وَمَخَافَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ،

22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

٢٢ وَأَعْطَيْتَهُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

٢٣ فَأَتَوْا وَٱمْتَلَكُوهَا، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِكَ، وَلَا سَارُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِكَ. كُلُّ مَا أَوْصَيْتَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلُوهُ، فَأَوْقَعْتَ بِهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ.

24 Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it].

٢٤ هَا ٱلْمَتَارِسُ! قَدْ أَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِيَأْخُذُوهَا، وَقَدْ دُفِعَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَهَا بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ، وَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ فَقَدْ حَدَثَ، وَهَا أَنْتَ نَاظِرٌ.

25 And thou hast said to me, O LORD GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

٢٥ وَقَدْ قُلْتَ أَنْتَ لِي أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱلْحَقْلَ بِفِضَّةٍ وَأَشْهِدْ شُهُودًا، وَقَدْ دُفِعَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ».

26 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,

٢٦ ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

27 Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

٢٧ «هَأَنَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ. هَلْ يَعْسُرُ عَلَيَّ أَمْرٌ مَّا؟

28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

٢٨ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَأْخُذُهَا.

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

٢٩ فَيَأْتِي ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، فَيُشْعِلُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَيُحْرِقُونَهَا وَٱلْبُيُوتَ ٱلَّتِي بَخَّرُوا عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا لِلْبَعْلِ وَسَكَبُوا سَكَائِبَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيُغِيظُونِي.

30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done evil only before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.

٣٠ لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُمْ. لِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّمَا أَغَاظُونِي بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

31 For this city hath been to me [as] a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

٣١ لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ صَارَتْ لِي لِغَضَبِي وَلِغَيْظِي مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ بَنَوْهَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنْزِعَهَا مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِي

32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

٣٢ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُوهُ لِيُغِيظُونِي بِهِ، هُمْ وَمُلُوكُهُمْ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ وَكَهَنَتُهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ وَرِجَالُ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

33 And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising early and teaching [them], yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

٣٣ وَقَدْ حَوَّلُوا لِي ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ. وَقَدْ عَلَّمْتُهُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُعَلِّمًا، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِيَقْبَلُوا أَدَبًا.

34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

٣٤ بَلْ وَضَعُوا مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي، لِيُنَجِّسُوهُ.

35 And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

٣٥ وَبَنَوْا ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَاتِ لِلْبَعْلِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، لِيُجِيزُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ لِمُولَكَ، ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُوصِهِمْ بِهِ، وَلَا صَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِي، لِيَعْمَلُوا هَذَا ٱلرِّجْسَ، لِيَجْعَلُوا يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ.

36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

٣٦ «وَٱلْآنَ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ دُفِعَتْ لِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ:

37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety.

٣٧ هَأَنَذَا أَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا بِغَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي وَبِسُخْطٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَأُسَكِّنُهُمْ آمِنِينَ.

38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

٣٨ وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

٣٩ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا وَطَرِيقًا وَاحِدًا لِيَخَافُونِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، لِخَيْرِهِمْ وَخَيْرِ أَوْلَادِهِمْ بَعْدَهُمْ.

40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

٤٠ وَأَقْطَعُ لَهُمْ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا أَنِّي لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُمْ لِأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَجْعَلُ مَخَافَتِي فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يَحِيدُونَ عَنِّي.

41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

٤١ وَأَفْرَحُ بِهِمْ لِأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَغْرِسَهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِي.

42 For thus saith the LORD; As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

٤٢ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: كَمَا جَلَبْتُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، هَكَذَا أَجْلِبُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ.

43 And fields shall be bought in this land, of which ye say, [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

٤٣ فَتُشْتَرَى ٱلْحُقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا خَرِبَةٌ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ وَبِلَا حَيَوَانٍ، وَقَدْ دُفِعَتْ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ.

44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.

٤٤ يَشْتَرُونَ ٱلْحُقُولَ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَيَكْتُبُونَ ذَلِكَ فِي صُكُوكٍ، وَيَخْتِمُونَ وَيُشْهِدُونَ شُهُودًا فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَحَوَالَيْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمُدُنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، لِأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
