< Jeremiah 39 >

1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his force unto Jerusalem, and they lay siege against it;
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِصِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، أَتَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرُوهَا.١
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, hath the city been broken up;
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِصِدْقِيَّا، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ، فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ فُتِحَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ.٢
3 and come in do all the heads of the king of Babylon, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, chief of the eunuchs, Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the rest of the heads of the king of Babylon.
وَدَخَلَ كُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَوْسَطِ: نَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ، وَسَمْجَرْ نَبُو، وَسَرْسَخِيمُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ، وَنَرْجَلَ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمَجُوسِ، وَكُلُّ بَقِيَّةِ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.٣
4 And it cometh to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah, and all the men of war, have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goeth forth the way of the plain.
فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، هَرَبُوا وَخَرَجُوا لَيْلًا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فِي طَرِيقِ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ، وَخَرَجَ هُوَ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ.٤
5 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him — judgments.
فَسَعَى جَيْشُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي عَرَبَاتِ أَرِيحَا، فَأَخَذُوهُ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ.٥
6 And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, yea, all the freemen of Judah hath the king of Babylon slaughtered.
فَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا فِي رَبْلَةَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ كُلَّ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا.٦
7 And the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him with brazen fetters, to bring him in to Babylon.
وَأَعْمَى عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا، وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسَلَاسِلِ نُحَاسٍ لِيَأْتِيَ بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ.٧
8 And the house of the king, and the house of the people, have the Chaldeans burnt with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem they have broken down.
أَمَّا بَيْتُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبُيُوتُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَحْرَقَهَا ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَنَقَضُوا أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.٨
9 And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, removed [to] Babylon.
وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا لَهُ، وَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا، سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ إِلَى بَابِلَ.٩
10 And of the poor people, who have nothing, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left in the land of Judah, and he giveth to them vineyards and fields on the same day.
وَلَكِنَّ بَعْضَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ، تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ كُرُومًا وَحُقُولًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١٠
11 And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon giveth a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,
وَأَوْصَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا نَبُوزَرَادَانَ رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ قَائِلًا:١١
12 'Take him, and place thine eyes upon him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaketh unto thee, so do with him.'
«خُذْهُ وَضَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا تَفْعَلْ بِهِ شَيْئًا رَدِيئًا، بَلْ كَمَا يُكَلِّمُكَ هَكَذَا ٱفْعَلْ مَعَهُ».١٢
13 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners sendeth, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon;
فَأَرْسَلَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ وَنَبُوشَزْبَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ وَنَرْجَلُ شَرَاصَرُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمَجُوسِ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ،١٣
14 yea, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwelleth in the midst of the people.
أَرْسَلُوا فَأَخَذُوا إِرْمِيَا مِنْ دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ وَأَسْلَمُوهُ لِجَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ لِيَخْرُجَ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَسَكَنَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ.١٤
15 And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been — in his being detained in the court of the prison — saying:
وَصَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا إِذْ كَانَ مَحْبُوسًا فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ قَائِلَةً:١٥
16 'Go, and thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good, and they have been before thee in that day.
«ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ عَبْدَ مَلِكَ ٱلْكُوشِيَّ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ كَلَامِي عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِلشَّرِّ لَا لِلْخَيْرِ، فَيَحْدُثُ أَمَامَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١٦
17 And I have delivered thee in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah — and thou art not given into the hand of the men of whose face thou art afraid,
وَلَكِنَّنِي أُنْقِذُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَلَا تُسْلَمُ لِيَدِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْتَ خَائِفٌ مِنْهُمْ.١٧
18 for I do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
بَلْ إِنَّمَا أُنَجِّيكَ نَجَاةً، فَلَا تَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ لَكَ نَفْسُكَ غَنِيمَةً، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ تَوَكَّلْتَ عَلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».١٨
