Jeremiah 33

1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,

١ وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ ثَانِيَةً بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إرْمِيَا، وَهُوَ مَازَالَ مُعْتَقَلاً فِي دَارِ السِّجْنِ قَائِلاً:

2 “The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:

٢ «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ صَانِعُ الأَرْضِ، الرَّبُّ الَّذِي صَوَّرَهَا وَثَبَّتَهَا، يَهْوَه اسْمُهُ

3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

٣ ’ادْعُنِي فَأُجِيبَكَ وَأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى عَظَائِمَ وَغَرَائِبَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا‘.

4 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defence against the mounds and against the sword:

٤ لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ بُيُوتِ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَنْ قُصُورِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا الَّتِي تَمَّ هَدْمُهَا، لِيُقَامَ مِنْهَا سُورُ دِفَاعٍ ضِدَّ مَتَارِيسِ الْحِصَارِ وَالْمَجَانِيقِ.

5 ‘While men come to fight with the Kasdim, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,

٥ فِي الْقِتَالِ النَّاشِبِ مَعَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ سَيَمْلأُونَ الْمُدُنَ بِجُثَثِ الْقَتْلَى الَّذِينَ ضَرَبْتُهُمْ فِي احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي، لأَنِّي قَدْ حَجَبْتُ وَجْهِي عَنْ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ لِشَرِّهِمْ.

6 behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

٦ وَلَكِنْ لَا أَلْبَثُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ لَهَا الْعَافِيَةَ وَالشِّفَاءَ. أُبْرِئُهُمْ وَأُبْدِي لَهُمْ وَفْرَةَ السَّلامِ وَالأَمْنِ.

7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.

٧ وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَبْنِيهِمْ كَمَا فِي الْعَهْدِ السَّابِقِ.

8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.

٨ وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمِهِمِ الَّذِي اقْتَرَفُوهُ فِي حَقِّي، وَأَصْفَحُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمِ الَّتِي أَخْطَأُوا بِها إِلَيَّ، وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ تَعَدِّيَاتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ.

9 This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”

٩ وَتُصْبِحُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ مَبْعَثَ سُرُورٍ لِي، وَتَسْبِحَةً وَافْتِخَاراً لَدَى جَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَبْلُغُهَا كُلُّ مَا أَسْدَيْتُهُ مِنْ خَيْرٍ إِلَيْهَا، فَتَخَافُ وَتَرْتَعِدُ بِفَضْلِ مَا أَغْدَقْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ إحْسَانٍ وَازْدِهَارٍ.

10 The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’

١٠ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي تَقُولُونَ عَنْهُ إِنَّهُ خَرَابٌ هَجَرَهُ الإِنْسَانُ وَالْحَيَوَانُ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَشَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْمُوْحِشَةِ الْمُقْفِرَةِ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَالَّتِي لَا يُقِيمُ فِيهَا حَيَوَانٌ، سَتَتَرَدَّدُ فِيهَا ثَانِيَةً

11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.

١١ أَصْوَاتُ الطَّرَبِ وَالسُّرُورِ، وَهُتَافُ الْعَرِيسِ وَالْعَرُوسِ، وَأَصْوَاتُ الْمُقْبِلِينَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ بِقَرَابِينِ الشُّكْرِ الْقَائِلِينَ: احْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ وَرَحْمَتُهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ، لأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ الأَرْضِ فَتُصْبِحُ آهِلَةً كَالأَيَّامِ الْخَوَالِي.

12 The LORD of Hosts says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

١٢ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الْخَرِبِ الْمُقْفِرِ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَالْحَيَوَانِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِ، سَتَكُونُ مَسَاكِنُ لِلرُّعَاةِ يُرْبِضُونَ فِيهَا قُطْعَانَهُمْ.

13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.

١٣ وَفِي مُدُنِ الْمَنَاطِقِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ وَمُدُنِ السُّفُوحِ الْقَرِيبَةِ، وَمُدُنِ النَّقَبِ، وَفِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَفِي الْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا تَمُرُّ الْغَنَمُ أَمَامَ الْمُحْصِي».

14 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.

١٤ «هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أُتَمِّمُ فِيهَا الْوَعْدَ الَّذِي تَعَهَّدْتُ بِهِ لِذُرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا وَلِذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 “In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

١٥ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ أُنْبِتُ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ غُصْنَ بِرٍّ يُجْرِي عَدْلاً وَبِرّاً فِي الأَرْضِ.

16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”

١٦ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ يَخْلُصُ يَهُوذَا، وَتَسْكُنُ أُورُشَلِيمُ آمِنَةً، وَهَذَا هُوَ الاسْمُ الَّذِي تُدْعَى بِهِ: الرَّبُّ بِرُّنَا.

17 For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.

١٧ لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: لَنْ يَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاُودَ رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18 The Levitical priests won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”

١٨ وَلَنْ يَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ يُصْعِدُ مُحْرَقَةً، وَيُقَدِّمُ تَقْدِمَةَ حِنْطَةٍ، وَيُقَرِّبُ ذَبِيحَةً مَدَى الدَّهْرِ».

19 The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,

١٩ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إرْمِيَا بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ:

20 “The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,

٢٠ «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْقُضُوا عَهْدِي مَعَ النَّهَارِ، وَمَعَ اللَّيْلِ، بِحَيْثُ لَا يَحُلُّ النَّهَارُ وَاللَّيْلُ فِي أَوَانِهِمَا،

21 then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.

٢١ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْقُضُوا عَهْدِي مَعَ عَبْدِي دَاوُدَ، فَلا يَكُونَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ابْنٌ يَمْلِكُ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ، وَمَعَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ خُدَّامِي.

22 As the army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”

٢٢ وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّةَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي وَذَرَارِي اللّاوِيِّينَ خُدَّامِي، وَأَجْعَلُهَا فِي كَثْرَةِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي لَا تُحْصَى، وَكَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي لَا يُعَدُّ».

23 The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,

٢٣ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ.

24 “Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”

٢٤ «أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالَهُ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبُ: قَدْ نَبَذَ الرَّبُّ الْعَشِيرَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ اخْتَارَهُمَا؟ كَذَلكَ احْتَقَرُوا شَعْبِي وَكَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعُودُوا أُمَّةً.

25 The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,

٢٥ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَعْقِدْ مِيثَاقاً مَعَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَلَمْ أَسُنَّ أَحْكَاماً لِلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ،

26 then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”

٢٦ فَإِنِّي أَرْفُضُ ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، فَلا أَصْطَفِي مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ مَنْ يَحْكُمُ عَلَى نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. وَلَكِنِّي سَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ وَأَرْحَمُهُمْ».
