إِرْمِيَا 33

١ 1 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ثَانِيَةً وَهُوَ مَحْبُوسٌ بَعْدُ فِي دَارِ ٱلسِّجْنِ قَائِلَةً:

IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.

٢ 2 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعُهَا، ٱلرَّبُّ مُصَوِّرُهَا لِيُثَبِّتَهَا، يَهْوَهُ ٱسْمُهُ:

Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and thou shalt declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded thee to speak to them; abate not one word.

٣ 3 اُدْعُنِي فَأُجِيبَكَ وَأُخْبِرَكَ بِعَظَائِمَ وَعَوَائِصَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا.

Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ بُيُوتِ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّتِي هُدِمَتْ لِلْمَتَارِيسِ وَٱلْمَجَانِيقِ:

And thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,

٥ 5 يَأْتُونَ لِيُحَارِبُوا ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَيَمْلَأُوهَا مِنْ جِيَفِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ ضَرَبْتُهُمْ بِغَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ سَتَرْتُ وَجْهِي عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّهِمْ.

to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yea, I sent them, but ye hearkened not to me;

٦ 6 هَأَنَذَا أَضَعُ عَلَيْهَا رِفَادَةً وَعِلَاجًا، وَأَشْفِيهِمْ وَأُعْلِنُ لَهُمْ كَثْرَةَ ٱلسَّلَامِ وَٱلْأَمَانَةِ.

then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.

٧ 7 وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَسَبْيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَبْنِيهِمْ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ.

And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

٨ 8 وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمِهِمِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ، وَأَغْفِرُ كُلَّ ذُنُوبِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأُوا بِهَا إِلَيَّ، وَٱلَّتِي عَصَوْا بِهَا عَلَيَّ.

And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,

٩ 9 فَتَكُونُ لِيَ ٱسْمَ فَرَحٍ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ وَلِلزِّينَةِ لَدَى كُلِّ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِكُلِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي أَصْنَعُهُ مَعَهُمْ، فَيَخَافُونَ وَيَرْتَعِدُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ ٱلسَّلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَصْنَعُهُ لَهَا.

Thou shalt surely die, because thou hast prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.

١٠ 10 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: سَيُسْمَعُ بَعْدُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ خَرِبٌ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ وَبِلَا حَيَوَانٍ، فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْخَرِبَةِ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ وَلَا سَاكِنٍ وَلَا بَهِيمَةٍ،

And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.

١١ 11 صَوْتُ ٱلطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتُ ٱلْفَرَحِ، صَوْتُ ٱلْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتُ ٱلْعَرُوسِ، صَوْتُ ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: ٱحْمَدُوا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. صَوْتُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِذَبِيحَةِ ٱلشُّكْرِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

١٢ 12 هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: سَيَكُونُ بَعْدُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلْخَرِبِ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ وَلَا بَهِيمَةٍ وَفِي كُلِّ مُدُنِهِ، مَسْكَنُ ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱلْمُرْبِضِينَ ٱلْغَنَمَ.

Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which ye have heard.

١٣ 13 فِي مُدُنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَفِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَحَوَالَيْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، تَمُرُّ أَيْضًا ٱلْغَنَمُ تَحْتَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمُحْصِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And now amend your ways and your works, and hearken to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.

١٤ 14 «هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُقِيمُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلصَّالِحَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَإِلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.

And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.

١٥ 15 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أُنْبِتُ لِدَاوُدَ غُصْنَ ٱلْبِرِّ، فَيُجْرِي عَدْلًا وَبِرًّا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

But know for a certainty, that if ye slay me, ye bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.

١٦ 16 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ يَخْلُصُ يَهُوذَا، وَتَسْكُنُ أُورُشَلِيمُ آمِنَةً، وَهَذَا مَا تَتَسَمَّى بِهِ: ٱلرَّبُّ بِرُّنَا.

Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا يَنْقَطِعُ لِدَاوُدَ إِنْسَانٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,

١٨ 18 وَلَا يَنْقَطِعُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَمَامِي يُصْعِدُ مُحْرَقَةً، وَيُحْرِقُ تَقْدِمَةً، وَيُهَيِّيءُ ذَبِيحَةً كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».

Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus saith the Lord; Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.

١٩ 19 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way slay him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.

٢٠ 20 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ نَقَضْتُمْ عَهْدِي مَعَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَعَهْدِي مَعَ ٱللَّيْلِ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ نَهَارٌ وَلَا لَيْلٌ فِي وَقْتِهِمَا،

And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.

٢١ 21 فَإِنَّ عَهْدِي أَيْضًا مَعَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي يُنْقَضُ، فَلَا يَكُونُ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ مَالِكًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَمَعَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ خَادِمِيَّ.

And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to slay him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.

٢٢ 22 كَمَا أَنَّ جُنْدَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لَا يُعَدُّ، وَرَمْلَ ٱلْبَحْرِ لَا يُحْصَى، هَكَذَا أُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ خَادِمِيَّ».

And the king sent men into Egypt;

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he smote him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.

٢٤ 24 «أَمَا تَرَى مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱلْعَشِيرَتَيْنِ ٱللَّتَيْنِ ٱخْتَارَهُمَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمَا. فَقَدِ ٱحْتَقَرُوا شَعْبِي حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُوا بَعْدُ أُمَّةً أَمَامَهُمْ.

Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.

٢٥ 25 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ عَهْدِي مَعَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ، فَرَائِضَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ،

٢٦ 26 فَإِنِّي أَيْضًا أَرْفُضُ نَسْلَ يَعْقُوبَ وَدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، فَلَا آخُذُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ حُكَّامًا لِنَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ وَأَرْحَمُهُمْ».
