«وَيْلٌ لِلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُهْلِكُونَ وَيُبَدِّدُونَ غَنَمَ رَعِيَّتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١ 1
Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! saith the LORD.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرْعَوْنَ شَعْبِي: أَنْتُمْ بَدَّدْتُمْ غَنَمِي وَطَرَدْتُمُوهَا وَلَمْ تَتَعَهَّدُوهَا. هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُكُمْ عَلَى شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢ 2
Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds that feed My people: Ye have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not taken care of them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
وَأَنَا أَجْمَعُ بَقِيَّةَ غَنَمِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهَا إِلَيْهَا، وَأَرُدُّهَا إِلَى مَرَابِضِهَا فَتُثْمِرُ وَتَكْثُرُ. ٣ 3
And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا رُعَاةً يَرْعَوْنَهَا فَلَا تَخَافُ بَعْدُ وَلَا تَرْتَعِدُ وَلَا تُفْقَدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٤ 4
And I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, saith the LORD.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُقِيمُ لِدَاوُدَ غُصْنَ بِرٍّ، فَيَمْلِكُ مَلِكٌ وَيَنْجَحُ، وَيُجْرِي حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٥ 5
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous shoot, and he shall reign as king and prosper, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
فِي أَيَّامِهِ يُخَلَّصُ يَهُوذَا، وَيَسْكُنُ إِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنًا، وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱسْمُهُ ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُونَهُ بِهِ: ٱلرَّبُّ بِرُّنَا. ٦ 6
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD is our righteousness.
لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، ٧ 7
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt';
بَلْ: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَ وَأَتَى بِنَسْلِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ». ٨ 8
but: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up and that led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them'; and they shall dwell in their own land.
فِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: اِنْسَحَقَ قَلْبِي فِي وَسَطِي. ٱرْتَخَتْ كُلُّ عِظَامِي. صِرْتُ كَإِنْسَانٍ سَكْرَانَ وَمِثْلَ رَجُلٍ غَلَبَتْهُ ٱلْخَمْرُ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلَامِ قُدْسِهِ. ٩ 9
Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of the LORD, and because of His holy words.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنَ ٱلْفَاسِقِينَ. لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱللَّعْنِ نَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. جَفَّتْ مَرَاعِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَصَارَ سَعْيُهُمْ لِلشَّرِّ، وَجَبَرُوتُهُمْ لِلْبَاطِلِ. ١٠ 10
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth, the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
«لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةَ تَنَجَّسُوا جَمِيعًا، بَلْ فِي بَيْتِي وَجَدْتُ شَرَّهُمْ يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١١ 11
For both prophet and priest are ungodly; yea, in My house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُ طَرِيقُهُمْ لَهُمْ كَمَزَالِقَ فِي ظَلَامٍ دَامِسٍ، فَيُطْرَدُونَ وَيَسْقُطُونَ فِيهَا، لِأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا سَنَةَ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٢ 12
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness, they shall be thrust, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي أَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ حَمَاقَةً. تَنَبَّأُوا بِٱلْبَعْلِ وَأَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٣ 13
And I have seen unseemliness in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied by Baal, and caused My people Israel to err.
وَفِي أَنْبِيَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ رَأَيْتُ مَا يُقْشَعَرُّ مِنْهُ. يَفْسِقُونَ وَيَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَيُشَدِّدُونَ أَيَادِيَ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ حَتَّى لَا يَرْجِعُوا ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَنْ شَرِّهِ. صَارُوا لِي كُلُّهُمْ كَسَدُومَ، وَسُكَّانُهَا كَعَمُورَةَ. ١٤ 14
But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies, and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them become unto Me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَنِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: هَأَنَذَا أُطْعِمُهُمْ أَفْسَنْتِينًا وَأَسْقِيهِمْ مَاءَ ٱلْعَلْقَمِ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْبِيَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ خَرَجَ نِفَاقٌ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٥ 15
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.
هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَجْعَلُونَكُمْ بَاطِلًا. يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِرُؤْيَا قَلْبِهِمْ لَا عَنْ فَمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٦ 16
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you, they lead you unto vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
قَائِلِينَ قَوْلًا لِمُحْتَقِرِيَّ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: يَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلَامٌ! وَيَقُولُونَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَسِيرُ فِي عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ: لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ شَرٌّ. ١٧ 17
They say continually unto them that despise Me: 'The LORD hath said: Ye shall have peace'; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say: 'No evil shall come upon you';
لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ وَقَفَ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَرَأَى وَسَمِعَ كَلِمَتَهُ؟ مَنْ أَصْغَى لِكَلِمَتِهِ وَسَمِعَ؟». ١٨ 18
For who hath stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear His word? Who hath attended to His word, and heard it?
هَا زَوْبَعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ. غَيْظٌ يَخْرُجُ، وَنَوْءٌ هَائِجٌ. عَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَثُورُ. ١٩ 19
Behold, a storm of the LORD is gone forth in fury, yea, a whirling storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.
لَا يَرْتَدُّ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يُجْرِيَ وَيُقِيمَ مَقَاصِدَ قَلْبِهِ. فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ تَفْهَمُونَ فَهْمًا. ٢٠ 20
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of days ye shall consider it perfectly.
«لَمْ أُرْسِلِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ بَلْ هُمْ جَرَوْا. لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مَعَهُمْ بَلْ هُمْ تَنَبَّأُوا. ٢١ 21
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
وَلَوْ وَقَفُوا فِي مَجْلِسِي لَأَخْبَرُوا شَعْبِي بِكَلَامِي وَرَدُّوهُمْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِمِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ وَعَنْ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. ٢٢ 22
But if they have stood in My council, then let them cause My people to hear My words, and turn them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
أَلَعَلِّي إِلَهٌ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَسْتُ إِلَهًا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٢٣ 23
Am I a God near at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
إِذَا ٱخْتَبَأَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي أَمَاكِنَ مُسْتَتِرَةٍ أَفَمَا أَرَاهُ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَمَا أَمْلَأُ أَنَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ٢٤ 24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا قَالَهُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا بِٱسْمِي بِٱلْكَذِبِ قَائِلِينَ: حَلِمْتُ، حَلِمْتُ. ٢٥ 25
I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in My name, saying: 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed.'
حَتَّى مَتَى يُوجَدُ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ؟ بَلْ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ خِدَاعِ قَلْبِهِمِ! ٢٦ 26
How long shall this be? Is it in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
ٱلَّذِينَ يُفَكِّرُونَ أَنْ يُنَسُّوا شَعْبِي ٱسْمِي بِأَحْلَامِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي يَقُصُّونَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، كَمَا نَسِيَ آبَاؤُهُمُ ٱسْمِي لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبَعْلِ. ٢٧ 27
That think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
اَلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ حُلْمٌ فَلْيَقُصَّ حُلْمًا، وَٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ كَلِمَتِي فَلْيَتَكَلَّمْ بِكَلِمَتِي بِٱلْحَقِّ. مَا لِلتِّبْنِ مَعَ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٨ 28
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath My word; let him speak My word faithfully. What hath the straw to do with the wheat? saith the LORD.
«أَلَيْسَتْ هَكَذَا كَلِمَتِي كَنَارٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَكَمِطْرَقَةٍ تُحَطِّمُ ٱلصَّخْرَ؟ ٢٩ 29
Is not My word like as fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْرِقُونَ كَلِمَتِي بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ. ٣٠ 30
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal My words every one from his neighbour.
هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ لِسَانَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ: قَالَ. ٣١ 31
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues and say: 'He saith.'
هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِأَحْلَامٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُصُّونَهَا وَيُضِلُّونَ شَعْبِي بِأَكَاذِيبِهِمْ وَمُفَاخَرَاتِهِمْ وَأَنَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ وَلَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ. فَلَمْ يُفِيدُوا هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ فَائِدَةً، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٢ 32
Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their wantonness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither can they profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
«وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ أَوْ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ كَاهِنٌ قَائِلًا: مَا وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: أَيُّ وَحْيٍ؟ إِنِّي أَرْفُضُكُمْ، هُوَ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٣٣ 33
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying: 'What is the burden of the LORD?' then shalt thou say unto them: 'What burden! I will cast you off, saith the LORD.'
فَٱلنَّبِيُّ أَوِ ٱلْكَاهِنُ أَوِ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، أُعَاقِبُ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَبَيْتَهُ. ٣٤ 34
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say: 'The burden of the LORD', I will even punish that man and his house.
هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَٱلرَّجُلُ لِأَخِيهِ: بِمَاذَا أَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ وَمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ٣٥ 35
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother: 'What hath the LORD answered?' and: 'What hath the LORD spoken?'
أَمَّا وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا تَذْكُرُوهُ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ كَلِمَةَ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ تَكُونُ وَحْيَهُ، إِذْ قَدْ حَرَّفْتُمْ كَلَامَ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْحَيِّ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِنَا. ٣٦ 36
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more; for every man's own word shall be his burden; and would ye pervert the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God?
هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِلنَّبِيِّ: بِمَاذَا أَجَابَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ وَمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ٣٧ 37
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: 'What hath the LORD answered thee?' and: 'What hath the LORD spoken?'
وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَلِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ قَوْلِكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ قَائِلًا لَا تَقُولُوا: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٣٨ 38
But if ye say: 'The burden of the LORD'; therefore thus saith the LORD: Because ye say this word: 'The burden of the LORD', and I have sent unto you, saying: 'Ye shall not say: The burden of the LORD';
لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَنْسَاكُمْ نِسْيَانًا، وَأَرْفُضُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِي، أَنْتُمْ وَٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ وَآبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا. ٣٩ 39
therefore, behold, I will utterly tear you out, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from My presence;
وَأَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَارًا أَبَدِيًّا وَخِزْيًا أَبَدِيًّا لَا يُنْسَى». ٤٠ 40
and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
