< Jeremiah 10 >

1 The hous of Israel, here ye the word which the Lord spak on you.
اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١
2 The Lord seith these thingis, Nyle ye lerne aftir the weies of hethene men, and nyle ye drede of the signes of heuene, whiche signes hethene men dreden.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لَا تَتَعَلَّمُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَمِنْ آيَاتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ تَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهَا.٢
3 For the lawis of puplis ben veyn, for whi the werk of hondis of a crafti man hath kit doun with an axe a tre of the forest.
لِأَنَّ فَرَائِضَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بَاطِلَةٌ. لِأَنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ يَقْطَعُونَهَا مِنَ ٱلْوَعْرِ. صَنْعَةُ يَدَيْ نَجَّارٍ بِٱلْقَدُومِ.٣
4 He made it fair with siluer and gold; with naylis and hameris he ioynede it togidere, that it be not loosid.
بِٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ يُزَيِّنُونَهَا، وَبِٱلْمَسَامِيرِ وَٱلْمَطَارِقِ يُشَدِّدُونَهَا فَلَا تَتَحَرَّكُ.٤
5 Idols ben maad in the licnesse of a palm tree, and schulen not speke; tho schulen be takun and be borun, for tho moun not go; therfor nyle ye drede tho, for tho moun nether do yuel, nethir wel.
هِيَ كَٱللَّعِينِ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ فَلَا تَتَكَلَّمُ! تُحْمَلُ حَمْلًا لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَمْشِي! لَا تَخَافُوهَا لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّ، وَلَا فِيهَا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ خَيْرًا».٥
6 Lord, noon is lijk thee; thou art greet, and thi name is greet in strengthe.
لَا مِثْلَ لَكَ يَارَبُّ! عَظِيمٌ أَنْتَ، وَعَظِيمٌ ٱسْمُكَ فِي ٱلْجَبَرُوتِ.٦
7 A! thou king of folkis, who schal not drede thee? for whi onour is thin among alle wise men of hethene men, and in alle the rewmes of hem noon is lijk thee.
مَنْ لَا يَخَافُكَ يَا مَلِكَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ بِكَ يَلِيقُ. لِأَنَّهُ فِي جَمِيعِ حُكَمَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَفِي كُلِّ مَمَالِكِهِمْ لَيْسَ مِثْلَكَ.٧
8 Thei schulen be preued, vnwise and foolis togidere; the techyng of her vanyte is a tre.
بَلُدُوا وَحَمِقُوا مَعًا. أَدَبُ أَبَاطِيلَ هُوَ ٱلْخَشَبُ.٨
9 Siluer wlappid is brouyt fro Tharsis, and gold fro Ophaz; it is the werk of a crafti man, and of the hond of a worchere in metel; iacynct and purpur ben the clothing of tho; alle these thingis ben the werk of werk men.
فِضَّةٌ مُطَرَّقَةٌ تُجْلَبُ مِنْ تَرْشِيشَ، وَذَهَبٌ مِنْ أُوفَازَ، صَنْعَةُ صَانِعٍ وَيَدَيْ صَائِغٍ. أَسْمَانْجُونِيٌّ وَأُرْجُوَانٌ لِبَاسُهَا. كُلُّهَا صَنْعَةُ حُكَمَاءَ.٩
10 Forsothe the Lord is veri God; he is God lyuynge, and a kyng euerlastynge; the erthe schal be mouyd togidere of his indignacioun, and hethene men schulen not suffre the manaassing of hym.
أَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ فَحَقٌّ. هُوَ إِلَهٌ حَيٌّ وَمَلِكٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. مِنْ سُخْطِهِ تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَلَا تَطِيقُ ٱلْأُمَمُ غَضَبَهُ.١٠
11 Therfor thus ye schulen seie to hem, Goddis that maden not heuene and erthe, perische fro erthe, and fro these thingis that ben vndur heuene.
هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ: «ٱلْآلِهَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَصْنَعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ تَبِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ»١١
12 He is God, that makith the erthe in his strengthe, makith redi the world in his wisdom, and stretchith forth heuenes bi his prudence.
صَانِعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، مُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ بَسَطَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.١٢
13 At his vois he yyueth the multitude of watris in heuene, and he reisith mystis fro the endis of erthe; he makith leitis into reyn, and ledith out wynd of his tresouris.
إِذَا أَعْطَى قَوْلًا تَكُونُ كَثْرَةُ مِيَاهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. صَنَعَ بُرُوقًا لِلْمَطَرِ، وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ.١٣
14 Ech man is maad a fool of kunnyng, ech crafti man is schent in a grauun ymage; for whi that that he wellide togidere is fals, and no spirit is in tho.
بَلُدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ. خَزِيَ كُلُّ صَائِغٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ، لِأَنَّ مَسْبُوكَهُ كَذِبٌ وَلَا رُوحَ فِيهِ.١٤
15 Tho ben veyn, and a werk worthi of scorn; tho schulen perische in the tyme of her visitacioun.
هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ صَنْعَةُ ٱلْأَضَالِيلِ. فِي وَقْتِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ.١٥
16 The part of Jacob is not lijk these, for he that formede alle thingis is God of Jacob, and Israel is the yerde of his eritage; the Lord of oostis is name to hym.
لَيْسَ كَهَذِهِ نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُ مُصَوِّرُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ قَضِيبُ مِيرَاثِهِ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.١٦
17 Thou that dwellist in bisegyng, gadere fro the lond thi schenschipe;
اِجْمَعِي مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ حُزَمَكِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ.١٧
18 for the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal caste awei fer the dwelleris of the loond in this while; and Y schal yyue tribulacioun to hem, so that thei be not foundun.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا رَامٍ مِنْ مِقْلَاعٍ سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ، وَأُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِكَيْ يَشْعُرُوا».١٨
19 Wo to me on my sorewe, my wounde is ful yuel; forsothe Y seide, Pleynli this is my sikenesse, and Y schal bere it.
وَيْلٌ لِي مِنْ أَجْلِ سَحْقِي! ضَرْبَتِي عَدِيمَةُ ٱلشِّفَاءِ! فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ مُصِيبَةٌ فَأَحْتَمِلُهَا».١٩
20 My tabernacle is distried, alle my roopis ben brokun; my sones yeden out fro me, and ben not; noon is that schal stretche forth more my tente, and schal reyse my skynnes.
خَيْمَتِي خَرِبَتْ، وَكُلُّ أَطْنَابِي قُطِعَتْ. بَنِيَّ خَرَجُوا عَنِّي وَلَيْسُوا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَبْسُطُ بَعْدُ خَيْمَتِي وَيُقِيمُ شُقَقِي.٢٠
21 For the scheepherdis diden folili, and souyten not the Lord; therfor thei vndurstoden not, and alle the flok of hem is scaterid.
لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّعَاةَ بَلُدُوا وَٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَطْلُبُوا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنْجَحُوا، وَكُلُّ رَعِيَّتِهِمْ تَبَدَّدَتْ.٢١
22 Lo! the vois of hering cometh, and a greet mouynge togidere fro the lond of the north, that it sette the citees of Juda in to wildirnesse, and a dwellynge place of dragouns.
هُوَذَا صَوْتُ خَبَرٍ جَاءَ، وَٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِجَعْلِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا خَرَابًا، مَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى.٢٢
23 Lord, Y woot, that the weie of a man is not of hym, nether it is of a man that he go, and dresse hise steppis.
عَرَفْتُ يَارَبُّ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ طَرِيقُهُ. لَيْسَ لِإِنْسَانٍ يَمْشِي أَنْ يَهْدِيَ خَطَوَاتِهِ.٢٣
24 Lord, chastise thou me; netheles in doom and not in thi strong veniaunce, lest perauenture thou dryue me to nouyt.
أَدِّبْنِي يَارَبُّ وَلَكِنْ بِٱلْحَقِّ، لَا بِغَضَبِكَ لِئَلَّا تُفْنِيَنِي.٢٤
25 Schede out thin indignacioun on hethene men that knewen not thee, and on prouynces that clepiden not thi name to help; for thei eeten Jacob, and deuouriden hym, and wastiden hym, and destrieden the onour of hym.
اُسْكُبْ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْعَشَائِرِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّهُمْ أَكَلُوا يَعْقُوبَ. أَكَلُوهُ وَأَفْنَوْهُ وَأَخْرَبُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.٢٥
