Jeremiah 6
1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
| «لُوذُوا بِالْنَّجَاةِ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ بِنْيَامِينَ، وَاهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي تَقُوعَ، وَأَشْعِلُوا عَلَمَ نَارٍ عَلَى بَيْتِ هَكَّارِيمَ، لأَنَّ الشَّرَّ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ لِيَعِيثَ فِي الأَرْضِ خَرَاباً. | ١ |
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman].
| هَا أَنَا أُهْلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْجَمِيلَةَ الْمُتْرَفَةَ ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ، | ٢ |
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch [their] tents against her on every side; they shall feed every one in his place.
| فَيَحُلُّ بِها الرُّعَاةُ مَعَ قُطْعَانِهِمْ، وَيَضْرِبُونَ حَوْلَهَا خِيَامَهُمْ، وَيَرْعَى كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ حَيْثُ نَزَلَ. | ٣ |
4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day departeth, for the shadows of the evening are lengthened.
| أَعِدُّوا عَلَيْهَا حَرْباً. قُومُوا نُهَاجِمُهَا عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ. وَيْلٌ لَنَا فَقَدْ مَالَ النَّهَارُ وَانْتَشَرَتْ ظِلالُ الْمَسَاءِ. | ٤ |
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
| هُبُّوا لِنَهْجُمَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَنَهْدِمَ قُصُورَهَا». | ٥ |
6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this [is] the city to be visited; she [is] wholly oppression in the midst of her.
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «اقْطَعُوا الشَّجَرَ، وَأَقِيمُوا مِتْرَسَةً حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِذْ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُعَاقَبَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ، لأَنَّ دَاخِلَهَا مُفْعَمٌ بِالظُّلْمِ. | ٦ |
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and devastation is heard in her; before me continually [are] grief and wounds.
| وَكَمَا تُنْبِعُ الْعَيْنُ مِيَاهَهَا كَذَلِكَ هِيَ تُنْبِعُ شَرَّهَا. يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي أَرْجَائِهَا الظُّلْمُ وَيَعُمُّهَا السَّلْبُ، وَأَمَامِي دَائِماً مَرَضٌ وَبَلايَا. | ٧ |
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
| فَاحْذَرِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ لِئَلَّا أَجْفُوَكِ وَأَجْعَلَكِ مُوْحِشَةً وَأَرْضاً مَهْجُورَةً». | ٨ |
9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thy hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets.
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «لِيَجْمَعُوا بِدِقَّةٍ لِقَاطَ بَقِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا يَجْمَعُونَ لِقَاطَ كَرْمَةٍ. رُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الأَغْصَانِ ثَانِيَةً كَلاقِطِ الْعِنَبِ». | ٩ |
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
| لِمَنْ أَتَحَدَّثُ وَأُنْذِرُ حَتَّى يَسْمَعُوا؟ انْظُرْ! إِنَّ آذَانَهُمْ صَمَّاءُ فَلا يَسْمَعُونَ، وَكَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ مَثَارُ خِزْيٍ لَهُمْ فَلا يُسَرُّونَ بِها. | ١٠ |
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with [him that is] full of days.
| لِذَلِكَ امْتَلَأْتُ مِنْ سَخَطِ الرَّبِّ وَأَعْيَانِي كَبْتُهُ. «أَسْكُبُهُ عَلَى الأَوْلادِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَعَلَى الشُّبَّانِ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ، فَيُصِيبُ الرَّجُلَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ وَالشَّيْخَ وَالطَّاعِنَ فِي السِّنِّ. | ١١ |
12 And their houses shall be turned to others, [with their] fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
| وَتَتَحَوَّلُ بُيُوتُهُمْ وَحقُولُهُمْ لآخَرِينَ، وَكَذَلِكَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ، لأَنِّي أَبْسُطُ يَدِي ضِدَّ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ | ١٢ |
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one [is] given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one dealeth falsely.
| «لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً، صِغَارَهُمْ وَكِبَارَهُمْ، مُوْلَعُونَ بالرِّبْحِ الْحَرَامِ. حَتَّى النَّبِيُّ وَالْكَاهِنُ يَرْتَكِبَانِ الزُّورَ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمَا. | ١٣ |
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
| يُعَالِجُونَ جِرَاحَ شَعْبِي بِاسْتِخْفَافٍ قَائِلِينَ:’سَلامٌ، سَلامٌ.‘فِي حِينِ لَا يُوْجَدُ سَلامٌ. | ١٤ |
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
| هَلْ خَجِلُوا لأَنَّهُمُ اقْتَرَفُوا الرِّجْسَ؟ كَلا! لَمْ يَخْزَوْا قَطُّ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا الْخَجَلَ، لِذَلِكَ سَيَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ السَّاقِطِينَ، وَحِينَ أُعَاقِبُهُمْ يُطَوَّحُ بِهِمْ». | ١٥ |
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in it].
| وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «قِفُوا فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ وَانْظُرُوا، وَاسْأَلُوا عَنِ الْمَسَالِكِ الصَّالِحَةِ الْقَدِيمَةِ وَاطْرُقُوهَا، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ:’لَنْ نَسِيرَ فِيهَا.‘ | ١٦ |
17 Also I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
| فَأَقَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُقَبَاءَ قَائِلاً: اسْمَعُوا دَوِيَّ الْبُوقِ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ قُلْتُمْ:’لَنْ نَسْمَعَ!‘ | ١٧ |
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what [is] among them.
| لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ، وَاعْلَمِي أَيَّتُهَا الْجَمَاعَةُ مَاذَا يَحُلُّ بِهِمْ. | ١٨ |
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, [even] the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened to my words, nor to my law, but have rejected it.
| اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ وَانْظُرِي، لأَنِّي جَالِبٌ شَرّاً عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ عَلَى أَفْكَارِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلِمَاتِي وَتَنَكَّرُوا لِشَرِيعَتِي. | ١٩ |
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a distant country? your burnt-offerings [are] not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to me.
| لأَيِّ غَرَضٍ يَصْعَدُ إِلَيَّ الْبَخُورُ مِنْ شَبَا، وَقَصَبُ الطِّيبِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ نَائِيَةٍ؟ مُحْرَقَاتُكُمْ مَرْفُوضَةٌ، وَتَقْدِمَاتُكُمْ لَا تَسُرُّنِي». | ٢٠ |
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
| لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أُقِيمُ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ مَعَاثِرَ يَتَعَثَّرُ بِها الآبَاءُ وَالأَبْنَاءُ مَعاً، وَيَهْلِكُ بِها الْجَارُ وَصَدِيقُهُ». | ٢١ |
22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
| «انْظُرُوا، هَا شَعْبٌ زَاحِفٌ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، وَأُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَهُبُّ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، | ٢٢ |
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they [are] cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
| تَسَلَّحَتْ بِالْقَوْسِ وَالرُّمْحِ، وَهِيَ قَاسِيَةٌ لَا تَرْحَمُ. جَلَبَتُهَا كَهَدِيرِ الْبَحْرِ وَهِيَ مُقْبِلَةٌ عَلَى صَهَوَاتِ الْخَيْلِ. قَدِ اصْطَفَّتْ كَإِنْسَانٍ وَاحِدٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ». | ٢٣ |
24 We have heard the fame of it: our hands become feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.
| سَمِعْنَا أَخْبَارَهُمُ الْمُرْعِبَةَ فَدَبَّ الضَّعْفُ فِي أَيْدِينَا، وَتَوَلّانَا كَرْبٌ وَأَلَمٌ كَأَلَمِ امْرَأَةٍ تُعَانِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy [and] fear [is] on every side.
| لَا تَخْرُجُوا إِلَى الْحَقْلِ وَلا تَمْشُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَلِلْعَدُوِّ سَيْفٌ، وَالْهَوْلُ مُحْدِقٌ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 O daughter of my people, gird [thee] with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, [as for] an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
| فَيَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ارْتَدِي الْمُسُوحَ وَتَمَرَّغِي فِي الرَّمَادِ، وَنُوحِي كَمَنْ يَنُوحُ عَلَى وَحِيدِهِ، وَانْتَحِبِي نَحِيباً مُرّاً، لأَنَّ الْمُدَمِّرَ يَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْنَا فَجْأَةً. | ٢٦ |
27 I have set thee [for] a tower [and] a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
| «إِنِّي أَقَمْتُكَ مُمْتَحِناً لِلْمَعْدِنِ، وَجَعَلْتُ شَعْبِي مَادَّةَ خَامٍ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ طُرُقَهُمْ وَتَفْحَصَهَا. | ٢٧ |
28 They [are] all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: [they are] brass and iron; they [are] all corrupters.
| فَكُلُّهُمْ عُصَاةٌ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ سَاعُونَ فِي النَّمِيمَةِ. هُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَحَدِيدٌ وَكُلُّهُمْ فَاسِدُونَ. | ٢٨ |
29 The bellows is burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
| لَشَدَّ مَا تُضْرِمُ رِيحُ المِنْفَاخِ الشَّدِيدَةُ النَّارَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ الرَّصَاصَ وَلَكِنْ كَمَا يَتَعَذَّرُ تَنْقِيَتُهُ مِنَ الزَّغَلِ كَذَلِكَ يَتَعَذَّرُ فَصْلُ الأَشْرَارِ. | ٢٩ |
30 Reprobate silver shall [men] call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
| وَهُمْ يُدْعَوْنَ حُثَالَةَ الْفِضَّةِ الْمَرْذُولَةِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمْ». | ٣٠ |
