| وَسَمِعَ شَفَطْيَا بْنُ مَتَّانَ، وَجَدَلْيَا بْنُ فَشْحُورَ، وَيُوخَلُ بْنُ شَلَمْيَا، وَفَشْحُورُ بْنُ مَلْكِيَّا، ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ إِرْمِيَا يُكَلِّمُ بِهِ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: | ١ |
2 `and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, Who euer dwellith in this citee, schal die bi swerd, and hungur, and pestilence; but he that flieth to Caldeis, shal lyue, and his soule schal be hool and lyuynge.
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱلَّذِي يُقِيمُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَمُوتُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ. أَمَّا ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْيَا وَتَكُونُ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ غَنِيمَةً فَيَحْيَا. | ٢ |
3 The Lord seith these thingis, This citee to be bitakun schal be bitakun in to the hond of the oost of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal take it.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ سَتُدْفَعُ دَفْعًا لِيَدِ جَيْشِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَأْخُذُهَا». | ٣ |
4 And the princes seiden to the kyng, We preien, that this man be slayn; for of bifore castyng he discoumfortith the hondis of men werriours, that dwelliden in this citee, and the hondis of al the puple, and spekith to hem bi alle these wordis. For whi this man sekith not pees to this puple, but yuel.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «لِيُقْتَلْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ، لِأَنَّهُ بِذَلِكَ يُضْعِفُ أَيَادِيَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْبَاقِينَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَيَادِيَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، إِذْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. لِأَنَّ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ لَا يَطْلُبُ ٱلسَّلَامَ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ بَلِ ٱلشَّرَّ». | ٤ |
5 And kyng Sedechie seide, Lo! he is in youre hondis, for it is not leueful that the kyng denye ony thing to you.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا: «هَا هُوَ بِيَدِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ». | ٥ |
6 Therfor thei token Jeremye, and castiden hym doun in to the lake of Elchie, sone of Amalech, which was in the porche of the prisoun; and thei senten doun Jeremye bi cordis in to the lake, wherynne was no watir, but fen; therfor Jeremye yede doun in to the filthe.
| فَأَخَذُوا إِرْمِيَا وَأَلْقُوْهُ فِي جُبِّ مَلْكِيَّا ٱبْنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ٱلَّذِي فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَدَلُّوا إِرْمِيَا بِحِبَالٍ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ مَاءٌ بَلْ وَحْلٌ، فَغَاصَ إِرْمِيَا فِي ٱلْوَحْلِ. | ٦ |
7 Forsothe Abdemalech Ethiopien, a chast man and oneste, herde, that was in the kyngis hous, that thei hadden sent Jeremye in to the lake; sotheli the king sat in the yate of Beniamyn.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ عَبْدَ مَلِكُ ٱلْكُوشِيُّ، رَجُلٌ خَصِيٌّ، وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَنَّهُمْ جَعَلُوا إِرْمِيَا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ، وَٱلْمَلِكُ جَالِسٌ فِي بَابِ بَنْيَامِينَ، | ٧ |
8 And Abdemalech yede out of the kyngis hous, and spak to the kyng,
| خَرَجَ عَبْدَ مَلِكُ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلًا: | ٨ |
9 and seide, My lord the kyng, these men diden yuele alle thingis, what euer thingis thei diden ayens Jeremye, the profete, sendynge hym in to the lake, that he die there for hungur; for whi looues ben no more in the citee.
| «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ، قَدْ أَسَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ فِي كُلِّ مَا فَعَلُوا بِإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، ٱلَّذِي طَرَحُوهُ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ، فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ فِي مَكَانِهِ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْجُوعِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَعْدُ خُبْزٌ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». | ٩ |
10 Therfor the kyng comaundide to Abdemelech Ethiopien, and seide, Take with thee thretti men fro hennus, and reise thou Jeremye, the profete, fro the lake, bifor that he die.
| فَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَبْدَ مَلِكَ ٱلْكُوشِيَّ قَائِلًا: «خُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ هُنَا ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا، وَأَطْلِعْ إِرْمِيَا مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ قَبْلَمَا يَمُوتُ». | ١٠ |
11 Therfor whanne Abdemelech hadde take men with hym, he entride in to the hous of the kyng, that was vndur the celer; and he took fro thennus elde clothis, and elde ragges, that weren rotun; and he sente tho doun to Jeremye, in to the lake, bi cordis.
| فَأَخَذَ عَبْدَ مَلِكُ ٱلرِّجَالَ مَعَهُ، وَدَخَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى أَسْفَلِ ٱلْمَخْزَنِ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ ثِيَابًا رِثَّةً وَمَلَابِسَ بَالِيَةً وَدَلَّاهَا إِلَى إِرْمِيَا إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ بِحِبَالٍ. | ١١ |
12 And Abdemelech Ethiopien seide to Jeremye, Putte thou elde clothis, and these to-rent and rotun thingis vndur the cubit of thin hondis, and on the cordis. Therfor Jeremye dide so.
| وَقَالَ عَبْدَ مَلِكُ ٱلْكُوشِيُّ لِإِرْمِيَا: «ضَعِ ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلرِّثَّةَ وَٱلْمَلَابِسَ ٱلْبَالِيَةَ تَحْتَ إِبْطَيْكَ تَحْتَ ٱلْحِبَالِ». فَفَعَلَ إِرْمِيَا كَذَلِكَ. | ١٢ |
13 And thei drowen out Jeremye with cordis, and ledden hym out of the lake. Forsothe Jeremye dwellide in the porche of the prisoun.
| فَجَذَبُوا إِرْمِيَا بِٱلْحِبَالِ وَأَطْلَعُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ. فَأَقَامَ إِرْمِيَا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ١٣ |
14 And kyng Sedechie sente, and took hym Jeremye, the profete, at the thridde dore that was in the hous of the Lord. And the kyng seide to Jeremye, Y axe of thee a word; hide thou not ony thing fro me.
| فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا وَأَخَذَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيَّ إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى ٱلْمَدْخَلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِإِرْمِيَا: «أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ. لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي شَيْئًا». | ١٤ |
15 Forsothe Jeremye seide to Sedechie, If Y telle to thee, whether thou schalt not sle me? And if Y yyue councel to thee, thou schalt not here me.
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِصِدْقِيَّا: «إِذَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَفَمَا تَقْتُلُنِي قَتْلًا؟ وَإِذَا أَشَرْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ لِي!» | ١٥ |
16 Therfor Sedechie the king swoor to Jeremye priueli, and seide, The Lord lyueth, that maad to vs this soule, Y schal not sle thee, and Y schal not bitake thee in to the hondis of these men, that seken thi lijf.
| فَحَلَفَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صِدْقِيَّا لِإِرْمِيَا سِرًّا قَائِلًا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ لَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلنَّفْسَ، إِنِّي لَا أَقْتُلُكَ وَلَا أَدْفَعُكَ لِيَدِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسَكَ». | ١٦ |
17 And Jeremye seide to Sedechie, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, If thou goest forth, and goest out to the princes of the kyng of Babiloyne, thi soule schal lyue, and this citee schal not be brent with fier, and thou schalt be saaf, thou and thin hous.
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِصِدْقِيَّا: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنْ كُنْتَ تَخْرُجُ خُرُوجًا إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، تَحْيَا نَفْسُكَ وَلَا تُحْرَقُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ بِٱلنَّارِ، بَلْ تَحْيَا أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُكَ. | ١٧ |
18 Forsothe if thou goest not out to the princes of the kyng of Babiloyne, this citee schal be bitakun in to the hondis of Caldeis; and thei schulen brenne it with fier, and thou schalt not ascape fro the hond of hem.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَخْرُجُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، تُدْفَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فَيُحْرِقُونَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ، وَأَنْتَ لَا تُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِهِمْ». | ١٨ |
19 And kyng Sedechie seide to Jeremye, Y am angwischid for the Jewis that fledden ouer to Caldeis, lest perauenture Y be bitakun in to the hondis of hem, and thei scorne me.
| فَقَالَ صِدْقِيَّا ٱلْمَلِكُ لِإِرْمِيَا: «إِنِّي أَخَافُ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ سَقَطُوا لِلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِئَلَّا يَدْفَعُونِي لِيَدِهِمْ فَيَزْدَرُوا بِي». | ١٩ |
20 Forsothe Jeremye answeride, and seide to hym, Thei schulen not bitake thee; Y biseche, here thou the vois of the Lord, which Y schal speke to thee, and it schal be wel to thee, and thi soule schal lyue.
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا: «لَا يَدْفَعُونَكَ. ٱسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي مَا أُكَلِّمُكَ أَنَا بِهِ، فَيُحْسَنَ إِلَيْكَ وَتَحْيَا نَفْسُكَ. | ٢٠ |
21 That if thou wolt not go out, this is the word which the Lord schewide to me, Lo!
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَأْبَى ٱلْخُرُوجَ، فَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَرَانِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهَا: | ٢١ |
22 alle the wymmen, that weren left in the hous of the kyng of Juda, schulen be led out to the princes of the kyng of Babiloyne; and tho wymmen schulen seie, Thi pesible men disseyueden thee, and hadden the maistrye ayens thee; thei drenchiden thee in filthe, and thi feet in slidirnesse, and yeden awei fro thee.
| هَا كُلُّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي بَقِينَ فِي بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، يُخْرَجْنَ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَهُنَّ يَقُلْنَ: قَدْ خَدَعَكَ وَقَدِرَ عَلَيْكَ مُسَالِمُوكَ. غَاصَتْ فِي ٱلْحَمْأَةِ رِجْلَاكَ وَٱرْتَدَّتَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. | ٢٢ |
23 And alle thi wyues and thi sones schulen be led out to Caldeis, and thou schalt not ascape the hondis of hem; but thou schalt be bitakun in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal brenne this citee bi fier.
| وَيُخْرِجُونَ كُلَّ نِسَائِكَ وَبَنِيكَ إِلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَأَنْتَ لَا تُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِهِمْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُمْسَكُ بِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ». | ٢٣ |
24 Therfore Sedechie seide to Jeremye, No man wite these wordis, and thou schalt not die.
| فَقَالَ صِدْقِيَّا لِإِرْمِيَا: «لَا يَعْلَمْ أَحَدٌ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَلَا تَمُوتَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Sotheli if the princes heren, that Y spak with thee, and comen to thee, and seien to thee, Schewe thou to vs what thou spakest with the kyng, hide thou not fro vs, and we schulen not sle thee; and what the kyng spak with thee,
| وَإِذَا سَمِعَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ أَنِّي كَلَّمْتُكَ، وَأَتَوْا إِلَيْكَ وَقَالُوا لَكَ: أَخْبِرْنَا بِمَاذَا كَلَّمْتَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، لَا تُخْفِ عَنَّا فَلَا نَقْتُلَكَ، وَمَاذَا قَالَ لَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ٢٥ |
26 thou schalt seie to hem, Knelyngli Y puttide forth my preiris bifore the kyng, that he schulde not comaunde me to be led ayen in to the hous of Jonathan, and Y schulde die there.
| فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنِّي أَلْقَيْتُ تَضَرُّعِي أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَتَّى لَا يَرُدَّنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ يُونَاثَانَ لِأَمُوتَ هُنَاكَ». | ٢٦ |
27 Therfor alle the princes camen to Jeremye, and axiden hym; and he spak to hem bi alle the wordis whiche the kyng hadde comaundid to hym, and thei ceessiden fro hym; for whi no thing was herd.
| فَأَتَى كُلُّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا وَسَأَلُوهُ، فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ. فَسَكَتُوا عَنْهُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ. | ٢٧ |
28 Therfor Jeremye dwellide in the porche of the prisoun, til to the dai wherynne Jerusalem was takun; and it was don, that Jerusalem schulde be takun.
| فَأَقَامَ إِرْمِيَا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أُخِذَتْ فِيهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٨ |
