إِرْمِيَا 11
| اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah:
| «ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ هَذَا ٱلْعَهْدِ، وَكَلِّمُوا رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
Listen to the terms of this agreement, and then repeat them to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
| فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مَلْعُونٌ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ هَذَا ٱلْعَهْدِ، | ٣ 3 |
Tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: You are cursed if you don't obey the terms of this agreement.
| ٱلَّذِي أَمَرْتُ بِهِ آبَاءَكُمْ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ كُورِ ٱلْحَدِيدِ قَائِلًا: ٱسْمَعُوا صَوْتِي وَٱعْمَلُوا بِهِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ، فَتَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا، | ٤ 4 |
I made this agreement with your forefathers when I led them out of Egypt, out of the iron-making furnace, saying, “Obey me, and do everything I order you to do, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.”
| لِأُقِيمَ ٱلْحَلْفَ ٱلَّذِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ: «آمِينَ يَارَبُّ». | ٥ 5 |
I did this to fulfill what I promised to your forefathers—to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it still is today. Amen, Lord, I answered.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «نَادِ بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ هَذَا ٱلْعَهْدِ وَٱعْمَلُوا بِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then the Lord told me, Go and publicly announce this whole message in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Pay attention the terms of this agreement and do what they say.
| لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدْتُ عَلَى آبَائِكُمْ إِشْهَادًا يَوْمَ أَصْعَدْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، مُبْكِرًا وَمُشْهِدًا قَائِلًا: ٱسْمَعُوا صَوْتِي. | ٧ 7 |
From the time I led your forefathers out of Egypt until now, I seriously warned them time and again, saying, “Do what I tell you!”
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذُنَهُمْ، بَلْ سَلَكُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. فَجَلَبْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ كَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوهُ وَلَمْ يَصْنَعُوهُ». | ٨ 8 |
But they refused to obey, they wouldn't listen. Instead each of them followed their own stubborn and evil thinking. I had ordered them to follow the agreement, but they didn't do so. So I brought down on them all the curses contained in the agreement.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «تُوجَدُ فِتْنَةٌ بَيْنَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٩ 9 |
The Lord told me, There is a rebellion happening among the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem.
| قَدْ رَجَعُوا إِلَى آثَامِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا كَلَامِي، وَقَدْ ذَهَبُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِيَعْبُدُوهَا. قَدْ نَقَضَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْتُ يَهُوذَا عَهْدِي ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
They have gone back to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey what I said. They have gone to worship other gods. The people of Israel and Judah have broken the agreement I made with their forefathers.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهُ، وَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring upon them a disaster they won't be able to escape. They will cry out to me for help, but I won't listen to them.
| فَيَنْطَلِقُ مُدُنُ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُبَخِّرُونَ لَهَا، فَلَنْ تُخَلِّصَهُمْ فِي وَقْتِ بَلِيَّتِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then the people in the towns of Judah and Jerusalem will go and call out for help to the gods they've been burning incense to, but these gods won't be able to do anything to save them in their time of trouble.
| لِأَنَّهُ بِعَدَدِ مُدُنِكَ صَارَتْ آلِهَتُكَ يَا يَهُوذَا، وَبِعَدَدِ شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَضَعْتُمْ مَذَابِحَ لِلْخِزْيِ، مَذَابِحَ لِلتَّبْخِيرِ لِلْبَعْلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
You certainly have as many gods as you have towns, Judah! You have built shameful altars, altars to burn incense to Baal. You have as many altars as the streets of Jerusalem.
| وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تُصَلِّ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلَا تَرْفَعْ لِأَجْلِهِمْ دُعَاءً وَلَا صَلَاةً، لِأَنِّي لَا أَسْمَعُ فِي وَقْتِ صُرَاخِهِمْ إِلَيَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ بَلِيَّتِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
Jeremiah, don't pray for these people. Don't cry for help or offer a prayer on their behalf, because I won't be listening when they cry out to me in the time of their trouble.
| «مَا لِحَبِيبَتِي فِي بَيْتِي؟ قَدْ عَمِلَتْ فَظَائِعَ كَثِيرَةً، وَٱللَّحْمُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسُ قَدْ عَبَرَ عَنْكِ. إِذَا صَنَعْتِ ٱلشَّرَّ حِينَئِذٍ تَبْتَهِجِينَ. | ١٥ 15 |
What right do the people I love have to be in my Temple when they've done so many evil things? Do you think the meat of sacrifices will save you? When disaster strikes will you be happy?
| زَيْتُونَةً خَضْرَاءَ ذَاتَ ثَمَرٍ جَمِيلِ ٱلصُّورَةِ دَعَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱسْمَكِ. بِصَوْتِ ضَجَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ أَوْقَدَ نَارًا عَلَيْهَا فَٱنْكَسَرَتْ أَغْصَانُهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
At one time the Lord said you were a healthy olive tree, full of leaves and bearing beautiful fruit. But with a great noise he will set fire to it, destroying its branches.
| وَرَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ غَارِسُكِ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَلَيْكِ شَرًّا، مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعُوهُ ضِدَّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لِيُغِيظُونِي بِتَبْخِيرِهِمْ لِلْبَعْلِ». | ١٧ 17 |
I, the Lord Almighty, was the one who planted you, but I have announced you will be destroyed because of the evil that the people of Israel and Judah have committed, making me angry by burning incense to Baal.
| وَٱلرَّبُّ عَرَّفَنِي فَعَرَفْتُ. حِينَئِذٍ أَرَيْتَنِي أَفْعَالَهُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
The Lord told me about it, so I knew. Then he showed me what they were actually doing.
| وَأَنَا كَخَرُوفٍ دَاجِنٍ يُسَاقُ إِلَى ٱلذَّبْحِ، وَلَمْ أَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُمْ فَكَّرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْكَارًا، قَائِلِينَ: «لِنُهْلِكِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ بِثَمَرِهَا، وَنَقْطَعْهُ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، فَلَا يُذْكَرَ بَعْدُ ٱسْمُهُ». | ١٩ 19 |
I was like a trusting little lamb being led away to be slaughtered. I didn't know that they had been plotting against me. They said, “Let's destroy the tree along with everything it produces. Let's kill him so no one will even remember his name.”
| فَيَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، ٱلْقَاضِيَ ٱلْعَدْلَ، فَاحِصَ ٱلْكُلَى وَٱلْقَلْبِ، دَعْنِي أَرَى ٱنْتِقَامَكَ مِنْهُمْ لِأَنِّي لَكَ كَشَفْتُ دَعْوَايَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
I appeal to you, Lord Almighty, you who judge rightly and examine peoples thoughts and feelings, let me see how you punish them, because I've left my case in your hands.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ أَهْلِ عَنَاثُوثَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسَكَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا تَمُوتَ بِيَدِنَا. | ٢١ 21 |
So this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are trying to kill you, telling you, “Don't prophesy in the name of the Lord, or we'll kill you.”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُهُمْ. يَمُوتُ ٱلشُّبَّانُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيَمُوتُ بَنُوهُمْ وَبَنَاتُهُمْ بِٱلْجُوعِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
This is the reply of the Lord Almighty: I will punish them. Their young men will killed by the sword, their sons and daughters will be killed by famine.
| وَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ بَقِيَّةٌ، لِأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ شَرًّا عَلَى أَهْلِ عَنَاثُوثَ سَنَةَ عِقَابِهِمْ». | ٢٣ 23 |
There won't be anyone left because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth at the time when they're punished.
