< إِرْمِيَا 31 >

«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ إِلَهًا لِكُلِّ عَشَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. ١ 1
"At that time," says Jehovah, "will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people."
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ وَجَدَ نِعْمَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْبَاقِي عَنِ ٱلسَّيْفِ، إِسْرَائِيلُ حِينَ سِرْتُ لِأُرِيحَهُ». ٢ 2
Thus says Jehovah, "The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
تَرَاءَى لِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ: «وَمَحَبَّةً أَبَدِيَّةً أَحْبَبْتُكِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَدَمْتُ لَكِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ. ٣ 3
Jehovah appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
سَأَبْنِيكِ بَعْدُ، فَتُبْنَيْنَ يَا عَذْرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. تَتَزَيَّنِينَ بَعْدُ بِدُفُوفِكِ، وَتَخْرُجِينَ فِي رَقْصِ ٱللَّاعِبِينَ. ٤ 4
Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
تَغْرِسِينَ بَعْدُ كُرُومًا فِي جِبَالِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. يَغْرِسُ ٱلْغَارِسُونَ وَيَبْتَكِرُونَ. ٥ 5
Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.
لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي فِيهِ ٱلنَّوَاطِيرُ فِي جِبَالِ أَفْرَايِمَ: قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. ٦ 6
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion to Jehovah our God."'"
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: رَنِّمُوا لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرَحًا، وَٱهْتِفُوا بِرَأْسِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. سَمِّعُوا، سَبِّحُوا، وَقُولُوا: خَلِّصْ يَارَبُّ شَعْبَكَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٧ 7
For thus says Jehovah, "Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, 'For Jehovah has saved your people, the remnant of Israel.'
هَأَنَذَا آتِي بِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. بَيْنَهُمُ ٱلْأَعْمَى وَٱلْأَعْرَجُ، ٱلْحُبْلَى وَٱلْمَاخِضُ مَعًا. جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى هُنَا. ٨ 8
'Look, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall they return here.
بِٱلْبُكَاءِ يَأْتُونَ، وَبِٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ أَقُودُهُمْ. أُسَيِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَنْهَارِ مَاءٍ فِي طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لَا يَعْثُرُونَ فِيهَا. لِأَنِّي صِرْتُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبًا، وَأَفْرَايِمُ هُوَ بِكْرِي. ٩ 9
They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.'"
«اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ، وَأَخْبِرُوا فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ، وَقُولُوا: مُبَدِّدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَجْمَعُهُ وَيَحْرُسُهُ كَرَاعٍ قَطِيعَهُ. ١٠ 10
Hear the word of Jehovah, you nations, and declare it in the islands afar off; and say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock."
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فَدَى يَعْقُوبَ وَفَكَّهُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ. ١١ 11
For Jehovah has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
فَيَأْتُونَ وَيُرَنِّمُونَ فِي مُرْتَفَعِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيَجْرُونَ إِلَى جُودِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلْخَمْرِ وَعَلَى ٱلزَّيْتِ وَعَلَى أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ. وَتَكُونُ نَفْسُهُمْ كَجَنَّةٍ رَيَّا، وَلَا يَعُودُونَ يَذُوبُونَ بَعْدُ. ١٢ 12
They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and they shall be radient over the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
حِينَئِذٍ تَفْرَحُ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ بِٱلرَّقْصِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ مَعًا. وَأُحَوِّلُ نَوْحَهُمْ إِلَى طَرَبٍ، وَأُعَزِّيهِمْ وَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ مِنْ حُزْنِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
"Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
وَأُرْوِي نَفْسَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ ٱلدَّسَمِ، وَيَشْبَعُ شَعْبِي مِنْ جُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٤ 14
I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness," says Jehovah.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: صَوْتٌ سُمِعَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، نَوْحٌ، بُكَاءٌ مُرٌّ. رَاحِيلُ تَبْكِي عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا، وَتَأْبَى أَنْ تَتَعَزَّى عَنْ أَوْلَادِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ. ١٥ 15
Thus says Jehovah: "A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great bitterness, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more."
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱمْنَعِي صَوْتَكِ عَنِ ٱلْبُكَاءِ، وَعَيْنَيْكِ عَنِ ٱلدُّمُوعِ، لِأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ جَزَاءٌ لِعَمَلِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَرْجِعُونَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. ١٦ 16
Thus says Jehovah: "Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded," says Jehovah; "and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
وَيُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ لِآخِرَتِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ إِلَى تُخُمِهِمْ. ١٧ 17
There is hope for your latter end," says Jehovah; "and your children shall come again to their own border.
«سَمْعًا سَمِعْتُ أَفْرَايِمَ يَنْتَحِبُ: أَدَّبْتَنِي فَتَأَدَّبْتُ كَعِجْلٍ غَيْرِ مَرُوضٍ. تَوِّبْنِي فَأَتُوبَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي. ١٨ 18
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are Jehovah my God.
لِأَنِّي بَعْدَ رُجُوعِي نَدِمْتُ، وَبَعْدَ تَعَلُّمِي صَفَقْتُ عَلَى فَخْذِي. خَزِيتُ وَخَجِلْتُ لِأَنِّي قَدْ حَمَلْتُ عَارَ صِبَايَ. ١٩ 19
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.'
هَلْ أَفْرَايِمُ ٱبْنٌ عَزِيزٌ لَدَيَّ، أَوْ وَلَدٌ مُسِرٌّ؟ لِأَنِّي كُلَّمَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ أَذْكُرُهُ بَعْدُ ذِكْرًا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَنَّتْ أَحْشَائِي إِلَيْهِ. رَحْمَةً أَرْحَمُهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٠ 20
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him," says Jehovah.
«اِنْصِبِي لِنَفْسِكِ صُوًى. ٱجْعَلِي لِنَفْسِكِ أَنْصَابًا. ٱجْعَلِي قَلْبَكِ نَحْوَ ٱلسِّكَّةِ، ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي ذَهَبْتِ فِيهَا. ٱرْجِعِي يَا عَذْرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٱرْجِعِي إِلَى مُدُنِكِ هَذِهِ. ٢١ 21
"Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
حَتَّى مَتَى تَطُوفِينَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبِنْتُ ٱلْمُرْتَدَّةُ؟ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ خَلَقَ شَيْئًا حَدِيثًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. أُنْثَى تُحِيطُ بِرَجُلٍ. ٢٢ 22
How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man."
هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي مُدُنِهَا، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ: يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَا مَسْكِنَ ٱلْبِرِّ، يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسُ. ٢٣ 23
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, "Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity: 'Jehovah bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.'
فَيَسْكُنُ فِيهِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ مُدُنِهِ مَعًا، ٱلْفَّلَاحُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُسَرِّحُونَ ٱلْقُطْعَانَ. ٢٤ 24
Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
لِأَنِّي أَرْوَيْتُ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلْمُعْيِيَةَ، وَمَلَأْتُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِبَةٍ. ٢٥ 25
For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished."
عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ وَلَذَّ لِي نَوْمِي. ٢٦ 26
On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَزْرَعُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْتَ يَهُوذَا بِزَرْعِ إِنْسَانٍ وَزَرْعِ حَيَوَانٍ. ٢٧ 27
"Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.
وَيَكُونُ كَمَا سَهِرْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلِٱقْتِلَاعِ وَٱلْهَدْمِ وَٱلْقَرْضِ وَٱلْإِهْلَاكِ وَٱلْأَذَى، كَذَلِكَ أَسْهَرُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلْبِنَاءِ وَٱلْغَرْسِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٨ 28
It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant," says Jehovah.
فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَا يَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ: ٱلْآبَاءُ أَكَلُوا حِصْرِمًا، وَأَسْنَانُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ ضَرِسَتْ. ٢٩ 29
"In those days they shall say no more, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'
بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ. كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْحِصْرِمَ تَضْرَسُ أَسْنَانُهُ. ٣٠ 30
But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَهْدًا جَدِيدًا. ٣١ 31
Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
لَيْسَ كَٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ يَوْمَ أَمْسَكْتُهُمْ بِيَدِهِمْ لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، حِينَ نَقَضُوا عَهْدِي فَرَفَضْتُهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٢ 32
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, and I disregarded them," says Jehovah.
بَلْ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْعَهْدُ ٱلَّذِي أَقْطَعُهُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَجْعَلُ شَرِيعَتِي فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ وَأَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. ٣٣ 33
"But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says Jehovah: "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
وَلَا يُعَلِّمُونَ بَعْدُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ صَاحِبَهُ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ، قَائِلِينَ: ٱعْرِفُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ سَيَعْرِفُونَنِي مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنِّي أَصْفَحُ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ بَعْدُ. ٣٤ 34
and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know Jehovah'; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember no more."
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلشَّمْسَ لِلْإِضَاءَةِ نَهَارًا، وَفَرَائِضَ ٱلْقَمَرِ وَٱلنُّجُومِ لِلْإِضَاءَةِ لَيْلًا، ٱلزَّاجِرُ ٱلْبَحْرَ حِينَ تَعِجُّ أَمْوَاجُهُ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ: ٣٥ 35
Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name:
إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضُ تَزُولُ مِنْ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَإِنَّ نَسْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا يَكُفُّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أُمَّةً أَمَامِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٣٦ 36
"If this fixed order departs from before me," says Jehovah, "then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever."
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُقَاسُ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَتُفْحَصُ أَسَاسَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا أَرْفُضُ كُلَّ نَسْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٧ 37
Thus says Jehovah: "If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the descendants of Israel for all that they have done," says Jehovah.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَتُبْنَى ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ بُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، ٣٨ 38
"Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
وَيَخْرُجُ بَعْدُ خَيْطُ ٱلْقِيَاسِ مُقَابِلَهُ عَلَى أَكَمَةِ جَارِبَ، وَيَسْتَدِيرُ إِلَى جَوْعَةَ، ٣٩ 39
The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ وَادِي ٱلْجُثَثِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْحُقُولِ إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ إِلَى زَاوِيَةِ بَابِ ٱلْخَيْلِ شَرْقًا، قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تُقْلَعُ وَلَا تُهْدَمُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». ٤٠ 40
The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to Jehovah; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever."
