«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَتَكَلَّمْ هُنَاكَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، ١ 1
The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
وَقُلِ: ٱسْمَعْ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَامَلِكَ يَهُوذَا ٱلْجَالِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ، أَنْتَ وَعَبِيدُكَ وَشَعْبُكَ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ. ٢ 2
‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَجْرُوا حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا، وَأَنْقِذُوا ٱلْمَغْصُوبَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلظَّالِمِ، وَٱلْغَرِيبَ وَٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ. لَا تَضْطَهِدُوا وَلَا تَظْلِمُوا، وَلَا تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. ٣ 3
The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
لِأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ يَدْخُلُ فِي أَبْوَابِ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ مُلُوكٌ جَالِسُونَ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ رَاكِبِينَ فِي مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ. هُوَ وَعَبِيدُهُ وَشَعْبُهُ. ٤ 4
For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِنَفْسِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ يَكُونُ خَرَابًا. ٥ 5
But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says the LORD, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَيْتِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: جِلْعَادٌ أَنْتَ لِي. رَأْسٌ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ. إِنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ بَرِّيَّةً، مُدُنًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ. ٦ 6
For the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
وَأُقَدِّسُ عَلَيْكَ مُهْلِكِينَ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ وَآلَاتِهِ، فَيَقْطَعُونَ خِيَارَ أَرْزِكَ وَيُلْقُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ. ٧ 7
I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
وَيَعْبُرُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَيَقُولُونَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: لِمَاذَا فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِثْلَ هَذَا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ؟ ٨ 8
“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’
فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوهَا. ٩ 9
Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
«لَا تَبْكُوا مَيْتًا وَلَا تَنْدُبُوهُ. ٱبْكُوا، ٱبْكُوا مَنْ يَمْضِي، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرْجِعُ بَعْدُ فَيَرَى أَرْضَ مِيلَادِهِ. ١٠ 10
Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ شَلُّومَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلْمَالِكِ عِوَضًا عَنْ يُوشِيَّا أَبِيهِ: ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدُ. ١١ 11
For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
بَلْ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي سَبُوهُ إِلَيْهِ، يَمُوتُ. وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لَا يَرَاهَا بَعْدُ. ١٢ 12
But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
«وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ بِغَيْرِ عَدْلٍ وَعَلَالِيَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ، ٱلَّذِي يَسْتَخْدِمُ صَاحِبَهُ مَجَّانًا وَلَا يُعْطِيهِ أُجْرَتَهُ. ١٣ 13
“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
ٱلْقَائِلُ: أَبْنِي لِنَفْسِي بَيْتًا وَسِيعًا وَعَلَالِيَ فَسِيحَةً. وَيَشُقُّ لِنَفْسِهِ كُوًى وَيَسْقُفُ بِأَرْزٍ وَيَدْهُنُ بِمُغْرَةٍ. ١٤ 14
who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
هَلْ تَمْلِكُ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُحَاذِي ٱلْأَرْزَ؟ أَمَا أَكَلَ أَبُوكَ وَشَرِبَ وَأَجْرَى حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا؟ حِينَئِذٍ كَانَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ. ١٥ 15
“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
قَضَى قَضَاءَ ٱلْفَقِيرِ وَٱلْمِسْكِينِ، حِينَئِذٍ كَانَ خَيْرٌ. أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مَعْرِفَتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ١٦ 16
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says the LORD.
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ وَقَلْبَكَ لَيْسَتْ إِلَا عَلَى خَطْفِكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلدَّمِ ٱلزَّكِيِّ لِتَسْفِكَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلِٱغْتِصَابِ وَٱلظُّلْمِ لِتَعْمَلَهُمَا. ١٧ 17
But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَنْدُبُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: آهِ يَا أَخِي! أَوْ آهِ يَا أُخْتِي! لَا يَنْدُبُونَهُ قَائِلِينَ: آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ! أَوْ آهِ يَا جَلَالَهُ! ١٨ 18
Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
يُدْفَنُ دَفْنَ حِمَارٍ مَسْحُوبًا وَمَطْرُوحًا بَعِيدًا عَنْ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٩ 19
He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
«اِصْعَدِي عَلَى لُبْنَانَ وَٱصْرُخِي، وَفِي بَاشَانَ أَطْلِقِي صَوْتَكِ، وَٱصْرُخِي مِنْ عَبَارِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ سُحِقَ كُلُّ مُحِبِّيكِ. ٢٠ 20
“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
تَكَلَّمْتُ إِلَيْكِ فِي رَاحَتِكِ. قُلْتِ: لَا أَسْمَعُ. هَذَا طَرِيقُكِ مُنْذُ صِبَاكِ، أَنَّكِ لَا تَسْمَعِينَ لِصَوْتِي. ٢١ 21
I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
كُلُّ رُعَاتِكِ تَرْعَاهُمُ ٱلرِّيحُ، وَمُحِبُّوكِ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. فَحِينَئِذٍ تَخْزَيْنَ وَتَخْجَلِينَ لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّكِ. ٢٢ 22
The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي لُبْنَانَ ٱلْمُعَشِّشَةُ فِي ٱلْأَرْزِ، كَمْ يُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكِ عِنْدَ إِتْيَانِ ٱلْمُخَاضِ عَلَيْكِ، ٱلْوَجَعِ كَوَالِدَةٍ! ٢٣ 23
Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَوْ كَانَ كُنْيَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا خَاتِمًا عَلَى يَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى فَإِنِّي مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَنْزِعُكَ، ٢٤ 24
“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
وَأُسَلِّمُكَ لِيَدِ طَالِبِي نَفْسِكَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَخَافُ مِنْهُمْ، وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَلِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٢٥ 25
I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Kasdim.
وَأَطْرَحُكَ وَأُمَّكَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تُولَدَا فِيهَا، وَهُنَاكَ تَمُوتَانِ. ٢٦ 26
I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
أَمَّا ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي يَشْتَاقَانِ إِلَى ٱلرُّجُوعِ إِلَيْهَا، فَلَا يَرْجِعَانِ إِلَيْهَا. ٢٧ 27
But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
هَلْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ كُنْيَاهُو وِعَاءُ خَزَفٍ مُهَانٍ مَكْسُورٍ، أَوْ إِنَاءٌ لَيْسَتْ فِيهِ مَسَرَّةٌ؟ لِمَاذَا طُرِحَ هُوَ وَنَسْلُهُ وَأُلْقُوا إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا؟ ٢٨ 28
Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
يَا أَرْضُ، يَا أَرْضُ، يَا أَرْضُ ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ! ٢٩ 29
O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱكْتُبُوا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ عَقِيمًا، رَجُلًا لَا يَنْجَحُ فِي أَيَّامِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَنْجَحُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ أَحَدٌ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ وَحَاكِمًا بَعْدُ فِي يَهُوذَا. ٣٠ 30
The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
