< إِرْمِيَا 31 >
«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ إِلَهًا لِكُلِّ عَشَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. | ١ 1 |
“At that time,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ وَجَدَ نِعْمَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْبَاقِي عَنِ ٱلسَّيْفِ، إِسْرَائِيلُ حِينَ سِرْتُ لِأُرِيحَهُ». | ٢ 2 |
The LORD says, “The people who survive the sword found favour 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 |
The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
سَأَبْنِيكِ بَعْدُ، فَتُبْنَيْنَ يَا عَذْرَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. تَتَزَيَّنِينَ بَعْدُ بِدُفُوفِكِ، وَتَخْرُجِينَ فِي رَقْصِ ٱللَّاعِبِينَ. | ٤ 4 |
I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
تَغْرِسِينَ بَعْدُ كُرُومًا فِي جِبَالِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. يَغْرِسُ ٱلْغَارِسُونَ وَيَبْتَكِرُونَ. | ٥ 5 |
Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its fruit.
لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ يَوْمٌ يُنَادِي فِيهِ ٱلنَّوَاطِيرُ فِي جِبَالِ أَفْرَايِمَ: قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ٦ 6 |
For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to the LORD our God.’”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: رَنِّمُوا لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرَحًا، وَٱهْتِفُوا بِرَأْسِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. سَمِّعُوا، سَبِّحُوا، وَقُولُوا: خَلِّصْ يَارَبُّ شَعْبَكَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
For the LORD says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘LORD, save 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 |
Behold, 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. They will return as a great company.
بِٱلْبُكَاءِ يَأْتُونَ، وَبِٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ أَقُودُهُمْ. أُسَيِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَنْهَارِ مَاءٍ فِي طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لَا يَعْثُرُونَ فِيهَا. لِأَنِّي صِرْتُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبًا، وَأَفْرَايِمُ هُوَ بِكْرِي. | ٩ 9 |
They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.
«اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ، وَأَخْبِرُوا فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ، وَقُولُوا: مُبَدِّدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَجْمَعُهُ وَيَحْرُسُهُ كَرَاعٍ قَطِيعَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
“Hear the LORD’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فَدَى يَعْقُوبَ وَفَكَّهُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
For the LORD 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 will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
حِينَئِذٍ تَفْرَحُ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ بِٱلرَّقْصِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ مَعًا. وَأُحَوِّلُ نَوْحَهُمْ إِلَى طَرَبٍ، وَأُعَزِّيهِمْ وَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ مِنْ حُزْنِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, 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 will be satisfied with my goodness,” says the LORD.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: صَوْتٌ سُمِعَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، نَوْحٌ، بُكَاءٌ مُرٌّ. رَاحِيلُ تَبْكِي عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا، وَتَأْبَى أَنْ تَتَعَزَّى عَنْ أَوْلَادِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ. | ١٥ 15 |
The LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, 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 |
The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will 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 the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
«سَمْعًا سَمِعْتُ أَفْرَايِمَ يَنْتَحِبُ: أَدَّبْتَنِي فَتَأَدَّبْتُ كَعِجْلٍ غَيْرِ مَرُوضٍ. تَوِّبْنِي فَأَتُوبَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي. | ١٨ 18 |
“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are the LORD 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. After that I was instructed. I struck 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 still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says the LORD.
«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 towards 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 the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will 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 |
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘The LORD 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 will dwell therein 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 I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
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 |
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “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 will 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 I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says the LORD.
فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَا يَقُولُونَ بَعْدُ: ٱلْآبَاءُ أَكَلُوا حِصْرِمًا، وَأَسْنَانُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ ضَرِسَتْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
“In those days they will 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 will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَعَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَهْدًا جَدِيدًا. | ٣١ 31 |
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that 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 covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD.
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 the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. 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 |
They will no longer each teach his neighbour, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلشَّمْسَ لِلْإِضَاءَةِ نَهَارًا، وَفَرَائِضَ ٱلْقَمَرِ وَٱلنُّجُومِ لِلْإِضَاءَةِ لَيْلًا، ٱلزَّاجِرُ ٱلْبَحْرَ حِينَ تَعِجُّ أَمْوَاجُهُ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ: | ٣٥ 35 |
The LORD, 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— the LORD of Armies is his name, says:
إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضُ تَزُولُ مِنْ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَإِنَّ نَسْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا يَكُفُّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أُمَّةً أَمَامِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
“If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will 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 |
The LORD says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَتُبْنَى ٱلْمَدِينَةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ بُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، | ٣٨ 38 |
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the city will be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
وَيَخْرُجُ بَعْدُ خَيْطُ ٱلْقِيَاسِ مُقَابِلَهُ عَلَى أَكَمَةِ جَارِبَ، وَيَسْتَدِيرُ إِلَى جَوْعَةَ، | ٣٩ 39 |
The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn towards 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 brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate towards the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
