فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ مُلْكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، صَارَ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Aelam.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قِفْ فِي دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْقَادِمَةِ لِلسُّجُودِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ. لَا تُنَقِّصْ كَلِمَةً. ٢ 2
FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
لَعَلَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَيَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، فَأَنْدَمَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي قَصَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ بِهِمْ، مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. ٣ 3
Take up arms and spears, and draw nigh to battle;
وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي لِتَسْلُكُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِي ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ، ٤ 4
and harness the horses: mount, ye horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breast-plates.
لِتَسْمَعُوا لِكَلَامِ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ أَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُرْسِلًا إِيَّاهُمْ، فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا. ٥ 5
Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord.
أَجْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ كَشِيلُوهَ، وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ أَجْعَلُهَا لَعْنَةً لِكُلِّ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٦ 6
Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
وَسَمِعَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِرْمِيَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٧ 7
Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves?
وَكَانَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِكُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِهِ، أَنَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَكُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَمْسَكُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «تَمُوتُ مَوْتًا! ٨ 8
The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
لِمَاذَا تَنَبَّأْتَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: مِثْلَ شِيلُوهَ يَكُونُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ، وَهَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ تَكُونُ خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ؟». وَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٩ 9
Mount ye the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, ye warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, ye Lydians, bend the bow.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، صَعِدُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَجَلَسُوا فِي مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَدِيدِ. ١٠ 10
And that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
فَتَكَلَّمَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ مَعَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «حَقُّ ٱلْمَوْتِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلِ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِآذَانِكُمْ». ١١ 11
Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain hast thou multiplied thy medicines; there is no help in thee.
فَكَلَّمَ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: «ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْسَلَنِي لِأَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِكُلِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ. ١٢ 12
The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together.
فَٱلْآنَ أَصْلِحُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، وَٱسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَيَنْدَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ. ١٣ 13
THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَهَأَنَذَا بِيَدِكُمُ. ٱصْنَعُوا بِي كَمَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ وَمُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ. ١٤ 14
Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say ye, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured thy yew-tree.
لَكِنِ ٱعْلَمُوا عِلْمًا أَنَّكُمْ إِنْ قَتَلْتُمُونِي، تَجْعَلُونَ دَمًا زَكِيًّا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِهَا، لِأَنَّهُ حَقًّا قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ لِأَتَكَلَّمَ فِي آذَانِكُمْ بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ». ١٥ 15
Wherefore has Apis fled from thee? thy choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
فَقَالَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلِ حَقُّ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَلَّمَنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا». ١٦ 16
And thy multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
فَقَامَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكَلَّمُوا كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: ١٧ 17
Call ye the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
«إِنَّ مِيخَا ٱلْمُورَشْتِيَّ تَنَبَّأَ فِي أَيَّامِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَكَلَّمَ كُلِّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ صِهْيَوْنَ تُفْلَحُ كَحَقْلٍ وَتَصِيرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ خِرَبًا وَجَبَلُ ٱلْبَيْتِ شَوَامِخَ وَعْرٍ. ١٨ 18
[As] I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
هَلْ قَتْلًا قَتَلَهُ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ يَهُوذَا؟ أَلَمْ يَخَفِ ٱلرَّبَّ وَطَلَبَ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَنَحْنُ عَامِلُونَ شَرًّا عَظِيمًا ضِدَّ أَنْفُسِنَا». ١٩ 19
O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare thee stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
وَقَدْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ أَيْضًا يَتَنَبَّأُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، أُورِيَّا بْنُ شِمْعِيَا مِن قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ، فَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ إِرْمِيَا. ٢٠ 20
Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ وَكُلُّ أَبْطَالِهِ وَكُلُّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ كَلَامَهُ، طَلَبَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أُورِيَّا خَافَ وَهَرَبَ وَأَتَى إِلَى مِصْرَ. ٢١ 21
Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ أُنَاسًا إِلَى مِصْرَ، أَلْنَاثَانَ بْنَ عَكْبُورَ وَرِجَالًا مَعَهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، ٢٢ 22
Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
فَأَخْرَجُوا أُورِيَّا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَطَرَحَ جُثَّتَهُ فِي قُبُورِ بَنِي ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٢٣ 23
They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for [their number] cannot at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
وَلَكِنَّ يَدَ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ كَانَتْ مَعَ إِرْمِيَا حَتَّى لَا يُدْفَعَ لِيَدِ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ. ٢٤ 24
The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
٢٥ 25
Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
٢٦ 26
٢٧ 27
But fear not thou, my servant Jacob, neither be thou alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
٢٨ 28
Fear not thou, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: she [that was] without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust thee forth; but I will not cause thee to fail: yet will I chastise thee in the way of judgment, and will not hold thee entirely guiltless.
