إِرْمِيَا 33

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

And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, the second time, when he was yet imprisoned in the guard-court, saying:

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

Thus, saith Yahweh, who doeth it, —Yahweh, who fashioneth it to establish it, Yahweh, is his name:

٣ 3 اُدْعُنِي فَأُجِيبَكَ وَأُخْبِرَكَ بِعَظَائِمَ وَعَوَائِصَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا.

Call unto me that I may answer thee, —and tell thee things great and inaccessible, which thou hast not known.

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

For, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, —which are thrown down against the earthworks and against the sword:

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

In entering to fight with the Chaldeans, it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have smitten in mine anger and in mine indignation, —and because of whom I have hidden my face from this city, —by reason of all their wickedness.

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

Behold me! laying upon her a bandage of healing, so will I heal them, —And will reveal to them abundance of prosperity and truth;

٧ 7 وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَسَبْيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَبْنِيهِمْ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ.

And I will bring back Them of the captivity of Judah, and Them of the captivity of Israel, —And I will build them, as at the first;

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

And I will purify them, from all their iniquity wherewith they have sinned against me, —And I will grant pardon for all their iniquities Wherewith they have sinned against me, and Wherewith they have transgressed against me;

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.

So shall she become to me—A name of joy, A praise and An adorning, To all the nations of the earth, —Who will hear all the good which I am doing them, And will dread and be deeply moved over all the good and over all the prosperity which I am causing her.

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،

Thus, saith Yahweh—Again, shall be heard in this place, as to which ye are saying, Deserted, it is without man or beast, In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate without man or inhabitant or beast

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.

The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good is Yahweh For age-abiding is his lovingkindness, The voice of them who are bringing a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh, —For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.

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

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Again, shall there be in this place—Which is deserted without man or even beast—And all the cities thereof, —The home of shepherds, causing flocks to lie down.

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.

In the cities of the hill country, In the cities of the lowland, and In the cities of the South, and In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, Again shall the flock pass over the hands of the numberer, Saith Yahweh.

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

Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —when I will establish my good word, which I have spoken—As to the house of Israel And concerning the house of Judah:

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

In those days and at that time, will I cause to bud unto David A Bud of righteousness, —And he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land:

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

In those days, Judah shall be saved, and, Jerusalem abide, securely, —And, this, is that which shall be proclaimed to her—Yahweh, our righteousness!

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

For, Thus, saith Yahweh, —There shall not be wanting to David—A man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

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

Nor to the priests the Levites, shall there be wanting—A man, before me, To offer an ascending-sacrifice, or To make a perfume with a gift, or To offer a [peace-] offering, all the days!

١٩ 19 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying:

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

Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, That there be not day and night in their season,

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

My covenant also, may be broken With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne, —And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:

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

As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon me.

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:

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.

Hast thou not observed what, this people, have spoken saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again become a nation in their sight!

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

Thus, saith Yahweh, If my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint,

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

The seed of Jacob also and of David my servant, might I cast off so as not to take of his seed as rulers unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, —For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.
