< Jeremiah 51 >

1 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise on Babiloyne, and on the dwelleris therof, that reisiden her herte ayens me, as a wynd of pestilence.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُوقِظُ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَعَلَى ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ رِيحًا مُهْلِكَةً.١
2 And Y schal sende in to Babiloyne wyndeweris, and thei schulen wyndewe it, and thei schulen destrie the lond of it; for thei camen on it on ech side, in the dai of the turment therof.
وَأُرْسِلُ إِلَى بَابِلَ مُذَرِّينَ فَيُذَرُّونَهَا وَيُفَرِّغُونَ أَرْضَهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ.٢
3 He that beendith his bowe, beende not, and a man clothid in haburioun, stie not; nyle ye spare the yonge men therof, sle ye al the chyualrie therof.
عَلَى ٱلنَّازِعِ فِي قَوْسِهِ، فَلْيَنْزِعِ ٱلنَّازِعُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمُفْتَخِرِ بِدِرْعِهِ، فَلَا تُشْفِقُوا عَلَى مُنْتَخَبِيهَا، بَلْ حَرِّمُوا كُلَّ جُنْدِهَا.٣
4 And slayn men schulen falle in the lond of Caldeis, and woundid men in the cuntreis therof.
فَتَسْقُطَ ٱلْقَتْلَى فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَٱلْمَطْعُونُونَ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا.٤
5 For whi Israel and Juda was not maad widewe fro her God, the Lord of oostis; but the lond of hem was fillid with trespas of the hooli of Israel.
لِأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا لَيْسَا بِمَقْطُوعَيْنِ عَنْ إِلَهِهِمَا، عَنْ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُهُمَا مَلْآنَةً إِثْمًا عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٥
6 Fle ye fro the myddis of Babiloyne, that ech man saue his soule; nyle ye be stille on the wickidnesse therof, for whi tyme of veniaunce therof is to the Lord; he schal yelde while to it.
ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسْطِ بَابِلَ، وَٱنْجُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِنَفْسِهِ. لَا تَهْلِكُوا بِذَنْبِهَا، لِأَنَّ هَذَا زَمَانُ ٱنْتِقَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، هُوَ يُؤَدِّي لَهَا جَزَاءَهَا.٦
7 Babiloyne is a goldun cuppe in the hond of the Lord, and fillith al erthe; hethene men drunken of the wyn therof, and therfor thei ben mouyd.
بَابِلُ كَأْسُ ذَهَبٍ بِيَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُسْكِرُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِنْ خَمْرِهَا شَرِبَتِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ جُنَّتِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ.٧
8 Babiloyne felle doun sudenli, and is al to-brokun; yelle ye on it, take ye recyn to the sorewe therof, if perauenture it be heelid.
سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ بَغْتَةً وَتَحَطَّمَتْ. وَلْوِلُوا عَلَيْهَا. خُذُوا بَلَسَانًا لِجُرْحِهَا لَعَلَّهَا تُشْفَى!٨
9 We heeliden Babiloyne, and it is not maad hool; forsake we it and go we ech in to his lond; for the doom therof cam `til to heuenes, and is reisid `til to cloudis.
دَاوَيْنَا بَابِلَ فَلَمْ تُشْفَ. دَعُوهَا، وَلْنَذْهَبْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، لِأَنَّ قَضَاءَهَا وَصَلَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱرْتَفَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّحَابِ.٩
10 The Lord hath brouyt forth oure riytfulnessis; come ye, and telle we in Sion the werk of oure Lord God.
قَدْ أَخْرَجَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِرَّنَا. هَلُمَّ فَنَقُصُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.١٠
11 Scharpe ye arowis, fille ye arowe caasis; the Lord reiside the spirit of the kyngis of Medeis, and his mynde is ayen Babiloyne, that he leese it, for it is the veniaunce of the Lord, the veniaunce of his temple. The kyng of Medeis is reisid of the Lord ayens Babiloyne.
سُنُّوا ٱلسِّهَامَ. أَعِدُّوا ٱلْأَتْرَاسَ. قَدْ أَيْقَظَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ مُلُوكِ مَادِي، لِأَنَّ قَصْدَهُ عَلَى بَابِلَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَهَا. لِأَنَّهُ نَقْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، نَقْمَةُ هَيْكَلِهِ.١١
12 Reise ye a signe on the wallis of Babiloyne, encreesse ye kepyng, reise ye keperis, make ye redi buyschementis; for the Lord thouyte, and dide, what euer thing he spak ayens the dwelleris of Babiloyne.
عَلَى أَسْوَارِ بَابِلَ ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ. شَدِّدُوا ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ. أَقِيمُوا ٱلْحُرَّاسَ. أَعِدُّوا ٱلْكَمِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ قَصَدَ وَأَيْضًا فَعَلَ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى سُكَّانِ بَابِلَ.١٢
13 A! thou Babiloyne, that dwellist on many watris, riche in thi tresours, thin ende cometh, the foote mesure of thi kittyng doun.
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، ٱلْوَافِرَةُ ٱلْخَزَائِنِ، قَدْ أَتَتْ آخِرَتُكِ، كَيْلُ ٱغْتِصَابِكِ.١٣
14 The Lord of oostis swoor bi his soule, that Y schal fille thee with men, as with bruke, and a myry song schal be sungun on thee.
قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ بِنَفْسِهِ: إِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّكِ أُنَاسًا كَٱلْغَوْغَاءِ، فَيَرْفَعُونَ عَلَيْكِ جَلَبَةً.١٤
15 The Lord swoor, which made erthe bi his strengthe, made redy the world bi his wisdom, and stretchide forth heuenes bi his prudence.
«صَانِعُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، وَمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وبِفَهْمِهِ مَدَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.١٥
16 Whanne he yyueth vois, watris ben multiplied in heuene; which Lord reisith cloudis fro the laste of erthe, made leitis in to reyn, and brouyt forth wynd of hise tresouris.
إِذَا أَعْطَى قَوْلًا تَكُونُ كَثْرَةُ مِيَاهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيُصْعِدُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. صَنَعَ بُرُوقًا لِلْمَطَرِ، وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ.١٦
17 Ech man is maad a fool of kunnyng, ech wellere togidere is schent in a grauun ymage; for his wellyng togidere is fals, and a spirit is not in tho.
بَلُدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ. خَزِيَ كُلُّ صَائِغٍ مِنَ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ لِأَنَّ مَسْبُوكَهُ كَذِبٌ وَلَا رُوحٌ فِيهِ.١٧
18 The werkis ben veyn, and worthi of scorn; tho schulen perische in the tyme of her visityng.
هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ، صَنْعَةُ ٱلْأَضَالِيلِ. فِي وَقْتِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ.١٨
19 The part of Jacob is not as these thingis; for he that made alle thingis is the part of Jacob, and Israel is the septre of his eritage; the Lord of oostis is his name.
لَيْسَ كَهَذِهِ نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُ مُصَوِّرُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَقَضِيبُ مِيرَاثِهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.١٩
20 Thou hurtlist doun to me the instrumentis of batel, and Y schal hurtle doun folkis in thee, and Y schal leese rewmes in thee;
أَنْتَ لِي فَأْسٌ وَأَدَوَاتُ حَرْبٍ، فَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ، وَأُهْلِكُ بِكَ ٱلْمَمَالِكَ،٢٠
21 and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an hors, and the ridere therof; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a chare, and the stiere therof;
وَأُكَسِّرُ بِكَ ٱلْفَرَسَ وَرَاكِبَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ وَرَاكِبَهَا،٢١
22 and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a man and womman; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an elde man and a child; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a yong man and a virgyn;
وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلشَّيْخَ وَٱلْفَتَى، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْغُلَامَ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءَ،٢٢
23 and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a scheepherde and his floc; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an erthetiliere and his yok beestis; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee duykis and magistratis.
وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّاعِيَ وَقَطِيعَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْفَلَّاحَ وَفَدَّانَهُ، وَأَسْحَقُ بِكَ ٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلْحُكَّامَ.٢٣
24 And Y schal yelde, seith the Lord, to Babiloyne, and to alle the dwelleris of Caldee, al her yuel, which thei diden in Sion, bifore youre iyen.
وَأُكَافِئُ بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ سُكَّانِ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِّهِمِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلُوهُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، أَمَامَ عُيُونِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٤
25 Lo! Y, seith the Lord, to thee, thou hil berynge pestilence, which corrumpist al erthe. Y schal stretche forth myn hond on thee, and Y schal vnwlappe thee fro stoonys, and Y schal yyue thee in to an hil of brennyng.
هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْمُهْلِكُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ وَأُدَحْرِجُكَ عَنِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ جَبَلًا مُحْرَقًا،٢٥
26 And Y schal not take of thee a stoon in to a corner, and a stoon in to foundementis; but thou schalt be lost with outen ende, seith the Lord.
فَلَا يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْكَ حَجَرًا لِزَاوِيَةٍ، وَلَا حَجَرًا لِأُسُسٍ، بَلْ تَكُونُ خَرَابًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٦
27 Reise ye a signe in the lond, sowne ye with a clarioun in hillis; halewe ye folkis on it, telle ye to the kyngis of Ararath, of Menny, and of Ascheneth ayens it; noumbre ye Tapser ayens it, and bringe ye an hors, as a bruke hauynge a pricke.
«اِرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ. قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأُمَمَ. نَادُوا عَلَيْهَا مَمَالِكَ أَرَارَاطَ وَمِنِّي وَأَشْكَنَازَ. أَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا قَائِدًا. أَصْعِدُوا ٱلْخَيْلَ كَغَوْغَاءَ مُقْشَعِرَّةٍ.٢٧
28 Halowe ye folkis ayens it, the kyngis of Medey, the duykis therof, and alle magistratis therof, and al the lond of his power.
قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا ٱلشُّعُوبَ، مُلُوكَ مَادِي، وُلَاتَهَا وَكُلَّ حُكَّامِهَا وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ سُلْطَانِهَا،٢٨
29 And the erthe schal be mouyd, and schal be disturblid; for the thouyt of the Lord schal fulli wake ayens Babiloyne, that he sette the lond of Babiloyne desert, and vnhabitable.
فَتَرْتَجِفَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَتَوَجَّعَ، لِأَنَّ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِلَ، لِيَجْعَلَ أَرْضَ بَابِلَ خَرَابًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ.٢٩
30 The stronge men of Babiloyne ceessiden of batel, thei dwelliden in stronge holdis; the strengthe of hem is deuourid, and thei ben maad as wymmen; the tabernaclis therof ben brent, the barris therof ben al to-brokun.
كَفَّ جَبَابِرَةُ بَابِلَ عَنِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ. نَضَبَتْ شَجَاعَتُهُمْ. صَارُوا نِسَاءً. حَرَقُوا مَسَاكِنَهَا. تَحَطَّمَتْ عَوَارِضُهَا.٣٠
31 A rennere schal come ayens a rennere, and a messanger ayens a messanger, to telle to the kyng of Babiloyne, that his citee is takun fro the toon ende `til to the tother ende;
يَرْكُضُ عَدَّاءٌ لِلِقَاءِ عَدَّاءٍ، وَمُخْبِرٌ لِلِقَاءِ مُخْبِرٍ، لِيُخْبِرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ بِأَنَّ مَدِينَتَهُ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ عَنْ أقْصَى،٣١
32 and the forthis ben bifore ocupied, and the mareisis ben brent with fier, and the men werryours ben disturblid.
وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَعَابِرَ قَدْ أُمْسِكَتْ، وَٱلْقَصَبَ أَحْرَقُوهُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَرِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ.٣٢
33 For the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, The douyter of Babiloyne is as a corn floor, the tyme of threischyng therof; yit a litil, and the tyme of repyng therof schal come.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ بِنْتَ بَابِلَ كَبَيْدَرٍ وَقْتَ دَوْسِهِ. بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا وَقْتُ ٱلْحَصَادِ».٣٣
34 Nabugodonosor, the kyng of Babiloyne, eet me, and deuouride me; he made me as a voide vessel, he as a dragoun swolewide me; he fillide his wombe with my tendirnesse, and he castide me out.
«أَكَلَنِي أَفْنَانِي نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ. جَعَلَنِي إِنَاءً فَارِغًا. ٱبْتَلَعَنِي كَتِنِّينٍ، وَمَلَأَ جَوْفَهُ مِنْ نِعَمِي. طَوَّحَنِي.٣٤
35 Wickidnesse ayens me, and my fleisch on Babiloyne, seith the dwellyng of Sion; and my blood on the dwelleris of Caldee, seith Jerusalem.
ظُلْمِي وَلَحْمِي عَلَى بَابِلَ» تَقُولُ سَاكِنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ. «وَدَمِي عَلَى سُكَّانِ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ» تَقُولُ أُورُشَلِيمُ.٣٥
36 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal deme thi cause, and Y schal venge thi veniaunce; and Y schal make the see therof forsakun, and Y schal make drie the veyne therof.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أُخَاصِمُ خُصُومَتَكِ، وَأَنْتَقِمُ نَقْمَتَكِ، وَأُنَشِّفُ بَحْرَهَا، وَأُجَفِّفُ يَنْبُوعَهَا.٣٦
37 And Babiloyne schal be in to biriels, it schal be the dwellyng of dragouns, wondryng and hissyng, for that no dwellere is.
وَتَكُونُ بَابِلُ كُوَمًا، وَمَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَدَهَشًا وَصَفِيرًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ.٣٧
38 Thei schulen rore togidere as liouns, and thei schulen schake lockis, as the whelpis of liouns.
يُزَمْجِرُونَ مَعًا كَأَشْبَالٍ. يَزْأَرُونَ كَجِرَاءِ أُسُودٍ.٣٨
39 In the heete of hem Y schal sette the drynkis of hem; and Y schal make hem drunkun, that thei be brouyt asleepe, and that thei slepe euerlastynge sleep, and rise not, seith the Lord.
عِنْدَ حَرَارَتِهِمْ أُعِدُّ لَهُمْ شَرَابًا وَأُسْكِرُهُمْ، لِكَيْ يَفْرَحُوا وَيَنَامُوا نَوْمًا أَبَدِيًّا، وَلَا يَسْتَيْقِظُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٣٩
40 Y schal lede forth hem, as lambren to slayn sacrifice, and as wetheris with kidis. Hou is Sesac takun, and the noble citee of al erthe is takun?
أُنَزِّلُهُمْ كَخِرَافٍ لِلذَّبْحِ وَكَكِبَاشٍ مَعَ أَعْتِدَةٍ.٤٠
41 Hou is Babiloyne made in to wondre among hethene men?
«كَيْفَ أُخِذَتْ شِيشَكُ، وَأُمْسِكَتْ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ كَيْفَ صَارَتْ بَابِلُ دَهَشًا فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟٤١
42 And the see stiede on Babiloyne, it was hilid with the multitude of hise wawis.
طَلَعَ ٱلْبَحْرُ عَلَى بَابِلَ، فَتَغَطَّتْ بِكَثْرَةِ أَمْوَاجِهِ.٤٢
43 The citees therof ben maad in to wondryng, the lond is maad vnhabitable and forsakun; the lond wherynne no man dwellith, and the sone of man schal not passe bi it.
صَارَتْ مُدُنُهَا خَرَابًا، أَرْضًا نَاشِفَةً وَقَفْرًا، أَرْضًا لَا يَسْكُنُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَلَا يَعْبُرُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ.٤٣
44 And Y schal visite on Bel in to Babiloyne, and Y schal caste out of hise mouth that, that he hadde swolewid, and folkis schulen no more flowe to it; for also the wal of Babiloyne schal falle doun.
وَأُعَاقِبُ بِيلَ فِي بَابِلَ، وَأُخْرِجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ مَا ٱبْتَلَعَهُ، فَلَا تَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ بَعْدُ، وَيَسْقُطُ سُورُ بَابِلَ أَيْضًا.٤٤
45 Mi puple, go ye out fro the myddis therof, that ech man saue his soule fro the wraththe of the strong veniaunce of the Lord;
اُخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا يَا شَعْبِي، وَلْيُنَجِّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ.٤٥
46 and lest perauenture youre herte wexe neische, and lest ye dreden the heryng, that schal be herd in the lond; and heryng schal come in a yeer, and aftir this yeer schal come heryng and wickidnesse in the lond, and a lord on a lord.
وَلَا يَضْعُفْ قَلْبُكُمْ فَتَخَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَبَرِ ٱلَّذِي سُمِعَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي خَبَرٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةِ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَهُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُخْرَى، خَبَرٌ وَظُلْمٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى مُتَسَلِّطٍ.٤٦
47 Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on the grauun ymagis of Babiloyne; and al the lond therof schal be schent, and alle slayn men therof schulen falle doun in the myddis therof.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي وَأُعَاقِبُ مَنْحُوتَاتِ بَابِلَ، فَتَخْزَى كُلُّ أَرْضِهَا وَتَسْقُطُ كُلُّ قَتْلَاهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا.٤٧
48 And heuenes, and erthis, and alle thingis that ben in tho, schulen herie on Babiloyne; for rauynours schulen come fro the north to it, seith the Lord.
فَتَهْتِفُ عَلَى بَابِلَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٤٨
49 And as Babiloyne dide, that slayn men felle doun in Israel, so of Babiloyne slayn men schulen falle doun and in al the lond.
كَمَا أَسْقَطَتْ بَابِلُ قَتْلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَسْقُطُ أَيْضًا قَتْلَى بَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.٤٩
50 Come ye, that fledden the swerd, nyle ye stonde; haue ye mynde afer on the Lord, and Jerusalem stie on youre herte.
أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱذْهَبُوا. لَا تَقِفُوا. ٱذْكُرُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَلْتَخْطُرْ أُورُشَلِيمُ بِبَالِكُمْ.٥٠
51 We ben schent, for we herden schenschipe; schame hilide oure faces, for aliens comen on the halewyng of the hous of the Lord.
قَدْ خَزِينَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا عَارًا. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وُجُوهَنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلْغُرَبَاءَ قَدْ دَخَلُوا مَقَادِسَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.٥١
52 Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on the grauun ymagis of Babiloyne, and in al the lond therof a woundid man schal loowe.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُعَاقِبُ مَنْحُوتَاتِهَا، وَيَتَنَهَّدُ ٱلْجَرْحَى فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِهَا.٥٢
53 If Babiloyne stieth in to heuene, and makith stidfast his strengthe an hiy, distrieris therof schulen come on me, seith the Lord.
فَلَوْ صَعِدَتْ بَابِلُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلَوْ حَصَّنَتْ عَلْيَاءَ عِزِّهَا، فَمِنْ عِنْدِي يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٥٣
54 The vois of a criere of Babiloyne, and greet sorewe of the lond of Caldeis,
«صَوْتُ صُرَاخٍ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَٱنْحِطَامٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ،٥٤
55 for the Lord distriede Babiloyne, and lost of it a greet vois; and the wawis of hem schulen sowne as many watris. The vois of hem yaf sown,
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُخْرِبٌ بَابِلَ وَقَدْ أَبَادَ مِنْهَا ٱلصَّوْتَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ، وَقَدْ عَجَّتْ أَمْوَاجُهُمْ كَمِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَأُطْلِقَ ضَجِيجُ صَوْتِهِمْ.٥٥
56 for a rauenour cam on it, that is, on Babiloyne; and the stronge men therof ben takun, and the bouwe of hem welewide, for the stronge vengere the Lord yeldynge schal yelde.
لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْهَا، عَلَى بَابِلَ، ٱلْمُخْرِبُ، وَأُخِذَ جَبَابِرَتُهَا، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ قِسِيُّهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهُ مُجَازَاةٍ يُكَافِئُ مُكَافَأَةً.٥٦
57 And Y schal make drunkun the princis therof, and the wise men therof, the duykis therof, and the magistratis therof, and the stronge men therof; and thei schulen slepe euerlastynge sleep, and thei schulen not be awakid, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis is name of hym.
وَأُسْكِرُ رُؤَسَاءَهَا وَحُكَمَاءَهَا وَوُلَاتَهَا وَحُكَّامَهَا وَأَبْطَالَهَا فَيَنَامُونَ نَوْمًا أَبَدِيًّا، وَلَا يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.٥٧
58 The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, Thilke brodeste wal of Babiloyne schal be mynyd with mynyng, and the hiye yatis therof schulen be brent with fier; and the trauels of puples schulen be to nouyt, and the trauels of hethene men schulen be in to fier, and schulen perische.
هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ أَسْوَارَ بَابِلَ ٱلْعَرِيضَةَ تُدَمَّرُ تَدْمِيرًا، وَأَبْوَابُهَا ٱلشَّامِخَةَ تُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَتَتْعَبُ ٱلشُّعُوبُ لِلْبَاطِلِ، وَٱلْقَبَائِلُ لِلنَّارِ حَتَّى تَعْيَا».٥٨
59 The word which Jeremye, the profete, comaundide to Saraie, sone of Nerie, sone of Maasie, whanne he yede with Sedechie, the kyng, in to Babiloyne, in the fourthe yeer of his rewme; forsothe Saraie was prynce of profesie.
اَلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَى بِهِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ سَرَايَا بْنَ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَّا، عِنْدَ ذَهَابِهِ مَعَ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، وَكَانَ سَرَايَا رَئِيسَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ،٥٩
60 And Jeremye wroot al the yuel, that was to comynge on Babiloyne, in a book, alle these wordis that weren writun ayens Babiloyne.
فَكَتَبَ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلْآتِي عَلَى بَابِلَ فِي سِفْرٍ وَاحِدٍ، كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ عَلَى بَابِلَ،٦٠
61 And Jeremye seide to Saraie, Whanne thou comest in to Babiloyne, and seest, and redist alle these wordis,
وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِسَرَايَا: «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَنَظَرْتَ وَقَرَأْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ،٦١
62 thou schalt seie, Lord, thou spakist ayens this place, that thou schuldist leese it, that noon be that dwelle therynne, fro man `til to beeste, and that it be an euerlastynge wildirnesse.
فَقُلْ: أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ لِتَقْرِضَهُ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ فِيهِ سَاكِنٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، بَلْ يَكُونُ خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.٦٢
63 And whanne thou hast fillid to rede this book, thou schalt bynde to it a stoon, and thou schalt caste it forth in to the myddis of Eufrates; and thou schalt seie,
وَيَكُونُ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ هَذَا ٱلسِّفْرِ أَنَّكَ تَرْبُطُ بِهِ حَجَرًا وَتَطْرَحُهُ إِلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ٦٣
64 So Babiloyne schal be drenchid, and it schal not rise fro the face of turment, which Y brynge on it, and it schal be distried. Hidurto ben the wordis of Jeremye.
وَتَقُولُ: هَكَذَا تَغْرَقُ بَابِلُ وَلَا تَقُومُ، مِنَ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا جَالِبُهُ عَلَيْهَا وَيَعْيَوْنَ». إِلَى هُنَا كَلَامُ إِرْمِيَا.٦٤
