< إِرْمِيَا 18 >
ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
«قُمِ ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ وَهُنَاكَ أُسْمِعُكَ كَلَامِي». | ٢ 2 |
Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
فَنَزَلْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ، وَإِذَا هُوَ يَصْنَعُ عَمَلًا عَلَى ٱلدُّولَابِ. | ٣ 3 |
Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
فَفَسَدَ ٱلْوِعَاءُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَصْنَعُهُ مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ بِيَدِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ، فَعَادَ وَعَمِلَهُ وِعَاءً آخَرَ كَمَا حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
فَصَارَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ٥ 5 |
Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
«أَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِكُمْ كَهَذَا ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ هُوَذَا كَٱلطِّينِ بِيَدِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ أَنْتُمْ هَكَذَا بِيَدِي يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
تَارَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ بِٱلْقَلْعِ وَٱلْهَدْمِ وَٱلْإِهْلَاكِ، | ٧ 7 |
I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
فَتَرْجِعُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهَا عَنْ شَرِّهَا، فَأَنْدَمُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي قَصَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ بِهَا. | ٨ 8 |
But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
وَتَارَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ بِٱلْبِنَاءِ وَٱلْغَرْسِ، | ٩ 9 |
And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
فَتَفْعَلُ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، فَلَا تَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِي، فَأَنْدَمُ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُ إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهَا بِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
«فَٱلْآنَ كَلِّمْ رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا مُصْدِرٌ عَلَيْكُمْ شَرًّا، وَقَاصِدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ قَصْدًا. فَٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ، وَأَصْلِحُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
فَقَالُوا: «بَاطِلٌ! لِأَنَّنَا نَسْعَى وَرَاءَ أَفْكَارِنَا، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ». | ١٢ 12 |
But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱسْأَلُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. مَنْ سَمِعَ كَهَذِهِ؟ مَا يُقْشَعَرُّ مِنْهُ جِدًّا عَمِلَتْ عَذْرَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
هَلْ يَخْلُو صَخْرُ حَقْلِي مِنْ ثَلْجِ لُبْنَانَ؟ أَوْ هَلْ تَنْشَفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلْمُنْفَجِرَةُ ٱلْبَارِدَةُ ٱلْجَارِيَةُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Will a man forsake the snowe of Lebanon, which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
لِأَنَّ شَعْبِي قَدْ نَسِيَني! بَخَّرُوا لِلْبَاطِلِ، وَقَدْ أَعْثَرُوهُمْ فِي طُرُقِهِمْ، فِي ٱلسُّبُلِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي شُعَبٍ، فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ مُسَهَّلٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
Because my people hath forgotten me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
لِتُجْعَلْ أَرْضُهُمْ خَرَابًا وَصَفِيرًا أَبَدِيًّا. كُلُّ مَارٍّ فِيهَا يَدْهَشُ وَيَنْغِضُ رَأْسَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
كَرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ أُبَدِّدُهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. أُرِيهِمِ ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ فِي يَوْمِ مُصِيبَتِهِمْ». | ١٧ 17 |
I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
فَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ فَنُفَكِّرُ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا أَفْكَارًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ لَا تَبِيدُ عَنِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، وَلَا ٱلْمَشُورَةَ عَنِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ، وَلَا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ عَنِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ. هَلُمَّ فَنَضْرِبُهُ بِٱللِّسَانِ وَلِكُلِّ كَلَامِهِ لَا نُصْغِي». | ١٨ 18 |
Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
أَصْغِ لِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱسْمَعْ صَوْتَ أَخْصَامِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
هَلْ يُجَازَى عَنْ خَيْرٍ بِشَرٍّ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ حَفَرُوا حُفْرَةً لِنَفْسِي. ٱذْكُرْ وُقُوفِي أَمَامَكَ لِأَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ لِأَرُدَّ غَضَبَكَ عَنْهُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
لِذَلِكَ سَلِّمْ بَنِيهِمْ لِلْجُوعِ، وَٱدْفَعْهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلسَّيْفِ، فَتَصِيرَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ ثَكَالَى وَأَرَامِلَ، وَتَصِيرَ رِجَالُهُمْ قَتْلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَشُبَّانُهُمْ مَضْرُوبِي ٱلسَّيْفِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
لِيُسْمَعْ صِيَاحٌ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِمْ إِذْ تَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَيْشًا بَغْتَةً. لِأَنَّهُمْ حَفَرُوا حُفْرَةً لِيُمْسِكُونِي، وَطَمَرُوا فِخَاخًا لِرِجْلَيَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ مَشُورَتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ لِلْمَوْتِ. لَا تَصْفَحْ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا تَمْحُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ، بَلْ لِيَكُونُوا مُتَعَثِّرِينَ أَمَامَكَ. فِي وَقْتِ غَضَبِكَ عَامِلْهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.
