إِرْمِيَا 36
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً: | ١ 1 |
This message from the Lord came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
| «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ دَرْجَ سِفْرٍ، وَٱكْتُبْ فِيهِ كُلَّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكَ بِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكَ فِيهِ، مِنْ أَيَّامِ يُوشِيَّا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢ 2 |
Get a scroll and write down everything I've told you condemning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations, from the time I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah right up till now.
| لَعَلَّ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا يَسْمَعُونَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا مُفَكِّرٌ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ بِهِمْ، فَيَرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ، فَأَغْفِرَ ذَنْبَهُمْ وَخَطِيَّتَهُمْ». | ٣ 3 |
Maybe when the people of Judah hear about all the disasters I plan to bring down on them, everyone will stop their evil ways. Then I will forgive their guilt and sin.
| فَدَعَا إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيَّا، فَكَتَبَ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ بِهِ فِي دَرْجِ ٱلسِّفْرِ. | ٤ 4 |
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah to come, and while Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote down on a scroll everything that the Lord had told Jeremiah.
| وَأَوْصَى إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا مَحْبُوسٌ لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
Then Jeremiah gave Baruch these instructions: “I'm a prisoner here so I can't go into the Lord's Temple.
| فَٱدْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَٱقْرَأْ فِي ٱلدَّرْجِ ٱلَّذِي كَتَبْتَ عَنْ فَمِي كُلَّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي آذَانِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلصَّوْمِ، وَٱقْرَأْهُ أَيْضًا فِي آذَانِ كُلِّ يَهُوذَا ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
So you have to go to the Lord's Temple on a day when people are fasting, and read to them the Lord's messages from the scroll I dictated to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
| لَعَلَّ تَضَرُّعَهُمْ يَقَعُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ، لِأَنَّهُ عَظِيمٌ ٱلْغَضَبُ وَٱلْغَيْظُ ٱللَّذَانِ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِمَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ». | ٧ 7 |
Maybe they will come and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and all of them will stop their evil ways, for the Lord is threatening terrible anger against them.”
| فَفَعَلَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ، بِقِرَاءَتِهِ فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٨ 8 |
Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what Jeremiah the prophet had told him to do. He went and read the Lord's message from the scroll in the Temple.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، أَنَّهُمْ نَادَوْا لِصَوْمٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٩ 9 |
This is how it happened. A fast to honor the Lord was declared involving all the people of Jerusalem and everyone who had come there from the towns of Judah. This was in the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah.
| فَقَرَأَ بَارُوخُ فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ كَلَامَ إِرْمِيَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي مِخْدَعِ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، فِي ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْعُلْيَا، فِي مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَدِيدِ، فِي آذَانِ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Baruch read from the scroll what Jeremiah had dictated so that everyone could hear. He read it from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe. This was in the upper Temple courtyard at the New Gate entrance.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مِيخَايَا بْنُ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ كُلَّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلسِّفْرِ، | ١١ 11 |
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the Lord's messages read from the scroll,
| نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى مِخْدَعِ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، وَإِذَا كُلُّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ جُلُوسٌ هُنَاكَ: أَلِيشَامَاعُ ٱلْكَاتِبُ، وَدَلَايَا بْنُ شِمْعِيَا، وَأَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ، وَجَمَرْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ، وَصِدْقِيَّا بْنُ حَنَنِيَّا، وَكُلُّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ. | ١٢ 12 |
he went down to the royal secretary's room in the king's palace, where all the officials had gathered. Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were there.
| فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ مِيخَايَا بِكُلِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَهُ عِنْدَمَا قَرَأَ بَارُوخُ ٱلسِّفْرَ فِي آذَانِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Micaiah gave them a report of everything he'd heard Baruch read from the scroll to the people.
| فَأَرْسَلَ كُلُّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ إِلَى بَارُوخَ يَهُودِيَ بْنَ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ شَلَمْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلدَّرْجُ ٱلَّذِي قَرَأْتَ فِيهِ فِي آذَانِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، خُذْهُ بِيَدِكَ وَتَعَالَ». فَأَخَذَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا ٱلدَّرْجَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَتَى إِلَيْهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
The officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to summon Baruch, telling him, “Bring the scroll that you read to the people, and come here.” So Baruch went to see them taking the scroll with him.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «ٱجْلِسْ وَٱقْرَأْهُ فِي آذَانِنَا». فَقَرَأَ بَارُوخُ فِي آذَانِهِمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
“Please sit down and read it to us,” they said. So Baruch read it to them.
| فَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا كُلَّ ٱلْكَلَامِ أَنَّهُمْ خَافُوا نَاظِرِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَقَالُوا لِبَارُوخَ: «إِخْبَارًا نُخْبِرُ ٱلْمَلِكَ بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ». | ١٦ 16 |
After they'd heard everything, they were frightened and looked at each other. They said to Baruch, “We've got to tell the king about all this.”
| ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَارُوخَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ كَتَبْتَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ عَنْ فَمِهِ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
Then they asked Baruch, “Now tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بَارُوخُ: «بِفَمِهِ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ لِي كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، وَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ بِٱلْحِبْرِ». | ١٨ 18 |
“Yes, he dictated it,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down in ink on the scroll everything he told me.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ لِبَارُوخَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَٱخْتَبِئْ أَنْتَ وَإِرْمِيَا وَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِنْسَانٌ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمَا». | ١٩ 19 |
The officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah are going to have to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are.”
| ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ، وَأَوْدَعُوا ٱلدَّرْجَ فِي مِخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِكُلِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then the officials went to see the king in the courtyard. They had kept the scroll safe in Elishama the secretary's room while they gave a full report to the king.
| فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ يَهُودِيَ لِيَأْخُذَ ٱلدَّرْجَ، فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ مِخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، وَقَرَأَهُ يَهُودِيَ فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَفِي آذَانِ كُلِّ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ لَدَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٢١ 21 |
The king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. He went and got it from Elishama the secretary's room. Then Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who were there standing next to him.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ جَالِسًا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلشِّتَاءِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، وَٱلْكَانُونُ قُدَّامَهُ مُتَّقِدٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in front of a fire in his winter quarters.
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا قَرَأَ يَهُودِيُ ثَلَاثَةَ شُطُورٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً أَنَّهُ شَقَّهُ بِمِبْرَاةِ ٱلْكَاتِبِ، وَأَلْقَاهُ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْكَانُونِ، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ ٱلدَّرْجِ فِي ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْكَانُونِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Whenever Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, Jehoiakim would chop them off with a scribe's knife and toss them into the fire. Eventually the whole scroll was completely burned up.
| وَلَمْ يَخَفِ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَلَا كُلُّ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، وَلَا شَقَّقُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Despite hearing all these messages, the king and his attendants weren't frightened and didn't tear their clothes in remorse.
| وَلَكِنَّ أَلْنَاثَانَ وَدَلَايَا وَجَمَرْيَا تَرَجَّوْا ٱلْمَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِقَ ٱلدَّرْجَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them.
| بَلْ أَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ يَرْحَمْئِيلَ ٱبْنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَسَرَايَا بْنَ عَزَرْئِيلَ، وَشَلَمْيَا بْنَ عَبْدِئِيلَ، أَنْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَى بَارُوخَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ وَإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ خَبَّأَهُمَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
In fact the king ordered Jerahmeel, one of the princes, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to go and arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them.
| ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَعْدَ إِحْرَاقِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلدَّرْجَ وَٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي كَتَبَهُ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً: | ٢٧ 27 |
After the king burned the scroll Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch, a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
| «عُدْ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ دَرْجًا آخَرَ، وَٱكْتُبْ فِيهِ كُلَّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِي ٱلدَّرْجِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ٱلَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا، | ٢٨ 28 |
Get another scroll and write everything out that was on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
| وَقُلْ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتَ ذَلِكَ ٱلدَّرْجَ قَائِلًا: لِمَاذَا كَتَبْتَ فِيهِ قَائِلًا: مَجِيئًا يَجِيءُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَيُهْلِكُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَيُلَاشِي مِنْهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Regarding Jehoiakim king of Judah announce that this is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll and asked, “Why did you write that the king of Babylon is going to come and destroy this country and kill all its people and animals?”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ، وَتَكُونُ جُثَّتُهُ مَطْرُوحَةً لِلْحَرِّ نَهَارًا، وَلِلْبَرْدِ لَيْلًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He won't have anyone to succeed him as king, sitting on David's throne. His body will be thrown out to lie in the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
| وَأُعَاقِبُهُ وَنَسْلَهُ وَعَبِيدَهُ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتُهُمْ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا». | ٣١ 31 |
I'm going to punish him and his descendants and officials for their sins. I will bring down on them and on the people living in Jerusalem and Judah, all the disasters I warned them about but they refused to listen.
| فَأَخَذَ إِرْمِيَا دَرْجًا آخَرَ وَدَفَعَهُ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا ٱلْكَاتِبِ، فَكَتَبَ فِيهِ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ كَلَامِ ٱلسِّفْرِ ٱلَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بِٱلنَّارِ، وَزِيدَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا كَلَامٌ كَثِيرٌ مِثْلُهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to Baruch. Jeremiah dictated everything that was in the scroll that Jehoiakim had burned in the fire and Barcuh wrote it down. Even more messages of a similar kind were added.
