< Jeremiah 36 >

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا:١
2 “Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.
«خُذْ لَكَ دَرْجَ كِتَابٍ وَدَوِّنْ فِيهِ كُلَّ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي أَمْلَيْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَهُوذَا وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ، مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْتُ فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي عَهْدِ يُوشِيَّا إِلَى الآنَ.٢
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
لَعَلَّ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا يَسْمَعُونَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُوْقِعَهُ بِهِمْ، فَيَتُوبَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ غِيِّهِ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ وَخَطِيئَتِهِمْ».٣
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the LORD’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
فَاسْتَدْعَى إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيَّا، فَدَوَّنَ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا فِي دَرْجِ كِتَابٍ جَمِيعَ وَحْيِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِ بِهِ.٤
5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into the LORD’s house.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِبَارُوخَ: «إِنِّي مُعْتَقَلٌ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الدُّخُولَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ،٥
6 Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the LORD’s words, in the ears of the people in the LORD’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
فَادْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَاتْلُ مِنَ الدَّرْجِ الَّذِي دَوَّنْتَهُ عَنْ فَمِي إِنْذَارَاتِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي يَوْمِ الصَّوْمِ. كَذَلِكَ اقْرَأْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا الْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِهِمْ.٦
7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will each return from his evil way; for the LORD has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”
لَعَلَّ تَضَرُّعَهُمْ يَرْتَفِعُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَيَرْجِعَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ غِوَايَتِهِ لأَنَّ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ وَسُخْطَهُ الَّلذَيْنِ قَضَى بِهِمَا عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ هَائِلانِ».٧
8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the LORD’s words in the LORD’s house.
فَفَعَلَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا، وَقَرَأَ فِي الْكِتَابِ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.٨
9 Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.
وَفِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِحُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، تَنَادَى كُلُّ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ الْقَادِمِ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلصَّوْمِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.٩
10 Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people.
فَتَلا بَارُوخُ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ كَلامَ إِرْمِيَا، فِي مُخْدَعِ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ الْكَاتِبِ فِي الدَّارِ الْعُلْيَا عِنْدَ الْمَدْخَلِ الْجَدِيدِ لِبَابِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.١٠
11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the LORD’s words,
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مِيخَايَا بْنُ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ كُلَّ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الْمُدَوَّنِ فِي الْكِتَابِ،١١
12 he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
نَزَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى قَاعَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ حَيْثُ كَانَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ كُلُّهُمْ مُجْتَمِعِينَ: أَلِيشَامَاعُ الْكَاتِبُ، وَدَلايَا بْنُ شِمْعِيَا، وَأَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ، وَجَمَرْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ، وَصِدْقِيَّا بْنُ حَنَنِيَّا، وَسَائِرُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ.١٢
13 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
فَأَبْلَغَهُمْ مِيخَايَا بِكُلِّ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ عِنْدَمَا قَرَأَ بَارُوخُ الْكِتَابَ فِي مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ.١٣
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
فَبَعَثَ جَمِيعُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ إِلَى بَارُوخَ يَهُودِيَ بْنَ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ شَلَمْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي قَائِلِينَ: «أَحْضِرِ الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي قَرَأْتَ مِنْهُ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ وَتَعَالْ». فَأَخَذَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا الْكِتَابَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ.١٤
15 They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اجْلِسْ وَاقْرَأْ مَا فِي الْكِتَابِ عَلَى مَسَامِعِنَا.» فَقَرَأَهُ بَارُوخُ عَلَيْهِمْ.١٥
16 Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one towards another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ، الْتَفَتَ بَعْضُهُمْ نَحْوَ بَعْضٍ مَذْعُورِينَ، وَقَالُوا لِبَارُوخَ: «لابُدَّ أَنْ نُنْبِئَ الْمَلِكَ بِكُلِّ هَذَا الْكَلامِ».١٦
17 They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَارُوخَ: «أَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ دَوَّنْتَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ عَنْ فَمِهِ؟»١٧
18 Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
فَأَجَابَهُمْ بَارُوخُ: «كَانَ يُمْلِي عَلَيَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ فَأُدَوِّنُهَا بِمِدَادٍ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ».١٨
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
فَقَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ لِبَارُوخَ: «اذْهَبِ اخْتَفِ عَنِ الأَنْظَارِ أَنْتَ وَإِرْمِيَا فِي مَكَانٍ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ أَحَدٌ».١٩
20 They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
وَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ فِي الْقَاعَةِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ أَوْدَعُوا الْكِتَابَ فِي مُخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ، وَسَرَدُوا عَلَى الْمَلِكِ جَمِيعَ كَلامِ الْوَحْيِ.٢٠
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.
فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ يَهُودِيَ لِيَأْتِيَ بِالْكِتَابِ، فَأَحْضَرَهُ مِنْ مُخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ الْكَاتِبِ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فِي تِلاوَتِهِ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الْمَلِكِ وَسَائِرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الْمَاثِلِينَ لَدَيْهِ.٢١
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ، وَالْمَلِكُ آنَذَاكَ جَالِسٌ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ الشِّتْوِيَّةِ يَسْتَدْفِئُ عَلَى نَارِ كَانُونٍ مُتَأَجِّجٍ أَمَامَهُ.٢٢
23 When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
فَبَعْدَ أَنْ قَرَأَ يَهُودِيَ ثَلاثَةَ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ مِنْهُ، تَنَاوَلَ الْمَلِكُ مِبْرَاةَ الْكَاتِبِ وَشَقَّ الْكِتَابَ وَطَرَحَهُ إِلَى نَارِ الْكَانُونِ فَاحْتَرَقَ الْكِتَابُ بِكَامِلِهِ.٢٣
24 The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
وَلَمْ يَخَفِ الْمَلِكُ وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ، وَلَمْ يُمَزِّقُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ.٢٤
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.
وَتَضَرَّعَ أَلْنَاثَانُ وَدَلايَا وَجَمَرْيَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ كَيْ لَا يُحْرِقَ الْكِتَابَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لَهُمْ.٢٥
26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ يَرْحَمْئِيلَ بْنَ الْمَلِكِ، وَسَرَايَا بْنَ عَزَرْئِيلَ، وَشَلَمْيَا بْنَ عَبْدِئِيلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَى بَارُوخَ الْكَاتِبِ وَإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ حَجَبَهُمَا عَنْهُمْ.٢٦
27 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْرَقَ الْمَلِكُ الْكِتَابَ وَمَا دَوَّنَهُ بَارُوخُ مِنْ كَلامٍ عَنْ لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا قَائِلاً:٢٧
28 “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burnt.
«خُذْ كِتَاباً آخَرَ وَدَوِّنْ فِيهِ مَا وَرَدَ مِنْ كَلامٍ فِي الْكِتَابِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا.٢٨
29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘The LORD says: “You have burnt this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
وَقُلْ فِيهِ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ قَائِلاً: لِمَاذَا دَوَّنْتَ فِيهِ أَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ سَيَزْحَفُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَيُدَمِّرُهَا وَيَقْضِي عَلَى مَا فِيهَا مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ؟٢٩
30 Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَخْلُفَهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِ دَاوُدَ، وَتُطْرَحُ جُثَّتُهُ خَارِجاً لِتَكُونَ عُرْضَةً لِلْحَرِّ فِي النَّهَارِ وَالْبَرْدِ فِي اللَّيْلِ.٣٠
31 I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.”’”
وَأُعَاقِبُهُ وَأُعَاقِبُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ وَعَبِيدَهُ لإِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُوْقِعُ بِهِمْ وَبِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا جَمِيعَ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا».٣١
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burnt in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
فَأَخَذَ إِرْمِيَا كِتَاباً آخَرَ وَنَاوَلَهُ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا فَدَوَّنَ فِيهِ عَنْ لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بِالنَّارِ مِنْ كَلامٍ، وَأَضَافَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً عِبَارَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً مُمَاثِلَةً.٣٢
