< Jeremiah 39 >

1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، زَحَفَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا.١
2 [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الرَّابِعِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا فُتِحَتْ ثُغْرَةٌ فِي سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ.٢
3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, [even] Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ دَخَلَ كُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَجَلَسُوا فِي الْبَابِ الأَوْسَطِ وَهُمْ: نَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ، وَسَمْجَرَ نَبُو، وَسَرْسَخِيمُ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ، وَنَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ الْمَجُوسِ، وَسَائِرُ قُوَّادِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.٣
4 And it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَهُمْ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ الْمُحَارِبِينَ فَرُّوا هَارِبِينَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلاً عَنْ طَرِيقِ جَنَّةِ الْمَلِكِ، مِنَ الْبَابِ الْقَائِمِ بَيْنَ السُّورَيْنِ، وَاتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ الْعَرَبَةِ.٤
5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
فَتَعَقَّبَهُمْ جَيْشُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي سَهْلِ أَرِيحَا، فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَادُوهُ إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَأَصْدَرَ عَلَيْهِ حُكْمَهُ.٥
6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
وَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ أَبْنَاءَ صِدْقِيَّا فِي رَبْلَةَ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُ كَمَا قَتَلَ سَائِرَ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا.٦
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
وَفَقَأَ عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسَلاسِلَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ لِيَأْخُذَهُ أَسِيراً إِلَى بَابِلَ.٧
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
وَأَحْرَقَ الْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ قَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَبُيُوتَ الشَّعْبِ وَنَقَضُوا أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.٨
9 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
وَسَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ شُرْطَةِ بَابِلَ بَقِيَّةَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي بَقِيَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْهِ.٩
10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
أَمَّا الْفُقَرَاءُ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَدَيْهِمْ شَيْءٌ فَتَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، وَوَزَّعَ عَلَيْهِمْ كُرُوماً وَحُقُولاً فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.١٠
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,
وَأَوْصَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ نَبُوزَرَادَانَ رَئِيسَ الشُّرْطَةِ بِإِرْمِيَا قَائِلاً:١١
12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to thee.
«خُذْهُ وَاعْتَنِ بِهِ أَشَدَّ عِنَايَةٍ وَلا تُؤْذِهِ، بَلِ اسْتَجِبْ لِكُلِّ مَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ».١٢
13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
فَبَعَثَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ وَنَبُوشَزْبَانُ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ وَنَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ الْمَجُوسِ وَجَمِيعُ قُوَّادِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ،١٣
14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
وَأَخْرَجُوا إِرْمِيَا مِنْ دَارِ الْحَرَسِ، وَعَهَدُوا بِهِ إِلَى جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ لِيَأْخُذَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. فَأَقَامَ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ.١٤
15 Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was confined in the court of the prison, saying,
وَهَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَيْنَمَا كَانَ مُعْتَقَلاً فِي دَارِ الْحَرَسِ:١٥
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before thee.
«اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِعَبْدَمَلِكَ الإِثْيُوبِيِّ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا أُتَمِّمُ قَضَائِي عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَأُوْقِعُ بِها الشَّرَّ لَا الْخَيْرَ، فَيَتَحَقَّقُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.١٦
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou [art] afraid.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَأُنْقِذُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَلا تَقَعُ فِي يَدِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ تَخْشَاهُمْ.١٧
18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey to thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
إِنَّمَا أُنَجِّيكَ فَلا تَسْقُطُ بِالسَّيْفِ، بَلْ تَسْلَمُ بِحَيَاتِكَ، فَتَكُونُ لَكَ غَنِيمَةً، لأَنَّكَ اتَّكَلْتَ عَلَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».١٨
