«خَطِيَّةُ يَهُوذَا مَكْتُوبَةٌ بِقَلَمٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، بِرَأْسٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَاسِ مَنْقُوشَةٌ عَلَى لَوْحِ قَلْبِهِمْ وَعَلَى قُرُونِ مَذَابِحِكُمْ. ١ 1
The sin of Judah, is written With a stylus of iron, With the point of a diamond: It is engraved Upon the tablet of their heart, And upon the horns of your altars;
كَذِكْرِ بَنِيهِمْ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَسَوَارِيَهُمْ عِنْدَ أَشْجَارٍ خُضْرٍ عَلَى آكَامٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ. ٢ 2
So long as their sons remember their altars, and their Sacred Stems, By the green tree, —Upon the high hills,
يَا جَبَلِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، أَجْعَلُ ثَرْوَتَكَ، كُلَّ خَزَائِنِكَ لِلنَّهْبِ، وَمُرْتَفَعَاتِكَ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِكَ. ٣ 3
O my mountain in the field Thy substance all thy treasures, for a prey, will I give: Thy high places for sin, within all thy bounds.
وَتَتَبَرَّأُ وَبِنَفْسِكَ عَنْ مِيرَاثِكَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكَ إِيَّاهُ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ تَخْدِمُ أَعْدَاءَكَ فِي أَرْضٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَضْرَمْتُمْ نَارًا بِغَضَبِي تَتَّقِدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ؟. ٤ 4
So shalt thou even of thyself, suffer to rest the inheritance which I gave thee, Seeing that I will cause thee to serve thine enemies, in the land which thou knowest not; For, a fire, have ye kindled in mine anger, Unto times age-abiding, shall it burn.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْبَشَرَ ذِرَاعَهُ، وَعَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحِيدُ قَلْبُهُ. ٥ 5
Thus, saith Yahweh Accursed is the man—Who trusteth in a son of earth, And hath made flesh his arm, —And whose heart from Yahweh, turneth aside:
وَيَكُونُ مِثْلَ ٱلْعَرْعَرِ فِي ٱلْبَادِيَةِ، وَلَا يَرَى إِذَا جَاءَ ٱلْخَيْرُ، بَلْ يَسْكُنُ ٱلْحَرَّةَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، أَرْضًا سَبِخَةً وَغَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ. ٦ 6
Therefore shall he become as a shrub in the waste plain, Neither shall he perceive when good cometh, But shall inhabit Parched places in a wilderness, A land of salt that cannot be dwelt in.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُتَّكَلَهُ، ٧ 7
Blessed is the man Who trusteth in Yahweh, To whom Yahweh is his ground of confidence;
فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ، وَعَلَى نَهْرٍ تَمُدُّ أُصُولَهَا، وَلَا تَرَى إِذَا جَاءَ ٱلْحَرُّ، وَيَكُونُ وَرَقُهَا أَخْضَرَ، وَفِي سَنَةِ ٱلْقَحْطِ لَا تَخَافُ، وَلَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ ٱلْإِثْمَارِ. ٨ 8
For he shall become like a tree planted by waters, And, by a stream, shall he send out his roots, Neither shall he perceive when heat cometh, But, his leaf shall continue green: Even in a year of dearth, shall he not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from bearing fruit.
«اَلْقَلْبُ أَخْدَعُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ نَجِيسٌ، مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ؟ ٩ 9
Deceitful is the heart above all things And, dangerously wayward, —Who can know it?
أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ فَاحِصُ ٱلْقَلْبِ مُخْتَبِرُ ٱلْكُلَى لِأُعْطِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ طُرُقِهِ، حَسَبَ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِهِ. ١٠ 10
I—Yahweh, Searching the heart, Testing the affections; And giving to every man According to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
حَجَلَةٌ تَحْضُنُ مَا لَمْ تَبِضْ مُحَصِّلُ ٱلْغِنَى بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ. فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِهِ يَتْرُكُهُ وَفِي آخِرَتِهِ يَكُونُ أَحْمَقَ!». ١١ 11
As a partridge gathereth eggs she did not lay, [So] is he that maketh riches but not with justice, —In the midst of his days, shall he leave them, And in his latter end, prove to have been base.
كُرْسِيُّ مَجْدٍ مُرْتَفِعٌ مِنَ ٱلِٱبْتِدَاءِ هُوَ مَوْضِعُ مَقْدِسِنَا. ١٢ 12
A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, hath been the place of our sanctuary.
أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ رَجَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتْرُكُونَكَ يَخْزَوْنَ. «ٱلْحَائِدُونَ عَنِّي فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ يُكْتَبُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَنْبُوعَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ». ١٣ 13
Thou hope of Israel Yahweh, All who forsake thee, shall turn pale, —Yea, all who depart from me, in the ground, shall be written, For they have forsaken a fountain of living water, even Yahweh.
اِشْفِنِي يَارَبُّ فَأُشْفَى. خَلِّصْنِي فَأُخَلَّصَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَسْبِيحَتِي. ١٤ 14
Heal thou me O Yahweh, that I may be healed, Save me that I may be saved, —For, my praise, thou art!
هَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ لِي: «أَيْنَ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ لِتَأْتِ!» ١٥ 15
Lo! they, are saying unto me, —Where is the word of Yahweh? Pray thee let it come to pass!
أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَعْتَزِلْ عَنْ أَنْ أَكُونَ رَاعِيًا وَرَاءَكَ، وَلَا ٱشْتَهَيْتُ يَوْمَ ٱلْبَلِيَّةِ. أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ. مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيَّ كَانَ مُقَابِلَ وَجْهِكَ. ١٦ 16
But as for me, I have neither forced myself away from tending the flock after thee, Nor yet for the woeful day, have I longed—thou, knowest, —That which came out of my lips, before thy face, was uttered.
لَا تَكُنْ لِي رُعْبًا. أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ. ١٧ 17
Do not thou become to me a terror, —My refuge, art thou, in the day of calamity.
لِيَخْزَ طَارِدِيَّ وَلَا أَخْزَ أَنَا. لِيَرْتَعِبُوا هُمْ وَلَا أَرْتَعِبْ أَنَا. اِجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱسْحَقْهُمْ سَحْقًا مُضَاعَفًا. ١٨ 18
Let my persecutors, turn pale, but let not me, turn pale, Let, them, be terrified, but let not, me, be terrified, —Bring thou upon them a day of calamity, And with a double fracture, destroy them.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «ٱذْهَبْ وَقِفْ فِي بَابِ بَنِي ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا وَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ، وَفِي كُلِّ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، ١٩ 19
Thus, said Yahweh unto me—Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter in, and through which they come out, —also in all the gates of Jerusalem.
وَقُلْ لَهُمُ: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا مُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا، وَكُلَّ يَهُوذَا، وَكُلَّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ. ٢٠ 20
Then shalt thou say unto them—Hear ye the word of Yahweh Ye kings of Judah and all Judah, And all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, —who enter in through these gates:
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: تَحَفَّظُوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَا تَحْمِلُوا حِمْلًا يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ وَلَا تُدْخِلُوهُ فِي أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٢١ 21
Thus, saith Yahweh, Take heed unto your souls, —And do not bear any burden on the sabbath day, Nor bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem, —
وَلَا تُخْرِجُوا حِمْلًا مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ، وَلَا تَعْمَلُوا شُغْلًا مَّا، بَلْ قَدِّسُوا يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ كَمَا أَمَرْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ. ٢٢ 22
Neither shall ye take forth any burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, Nor any manner of work, shall ye do, —But ye shall hallow the sabbath day, As I commanded your fathers.
فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذُنَهُمْ، بَلْ قَسَّوْا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ لِئَلَّا يَسْمَعُوا وَلِئَلَّا يَقْبَلُوا تَأْدِيبًا. ٢٣ 23
Howbeit they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, —but stiffened their neck, that they might not hearken, neither receive correction.
وَيَكُونُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ لِي سَمْعًا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَمْ تُدْخِلُوا حِمْلًا فِي أَبْوَابِ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ، بَلْ قَدَّسْتُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا فِيهِ شُغْلًا مَّا، ٢٤ 24
And it shall come to pass, —If ye will, indeed hearken, unto me Declareth Yahweh, To bring in no burden through the gates of this city, on the sabbath day, —But to hallow the sabbath day, by not doing thereon any manner of work,
أَنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ فِي أَبْوَابِ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مُلُوكٌ وَرُؤَسَاءُ جَالِسُونَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ، رَاكِبُونَ فِي مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ، هُمْ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتُسْكَنُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٢٥ 25
Then shall enter in through the gates of this city, Kings and princes Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses They, and their princes, The men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city shall remain unto times age-abiding.
وَيَأْتُونَ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَمِنْ حَوَالَيْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَمِنَ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، يَأْتُونَ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ وَتَقْدِمَاتٍ وَلُبَانٍ، وَيَدْخُلُونَ بِذَبَائِحِ شُكْرٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
And they shall come in—Out of the cities of Judah and Out of the places round about Jerusalem, and Out of the land of Benjamin, and Out of the lowlands, and out of the hill country, and Out of the South, Bringing in ascending-offering, and peace-offering, and meal-offering, and frankincense, —Even they who bring in a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh,
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي لِتُقَدِّسُوا يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِكَيْلَا تَحْمِلُوا حِمْلًا وَلَا تُدْخِلُوهُ فِي أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ، فَإِنِّي أُشْعِلُ نَارًا فِي أَبْوَابِهَا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلَا تَنْطَفِئُ». ٢٧ 27
But, if ye will not hearken unto me—To hallow the sabbath day, And to bear no burden and bring in through the gates of Jerusalem, on the sabbath day, Then will I kindle a fire within her gates, And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, And shall not be quenched.
