إِرْمِيَا 43
| وَكَانَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ أَنْ كَلَّمَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ،بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلكَلَامِ، | ١ 1 |
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
| أَنَّ عَزَرْيَا بْنَ هُوشَعْيَا وَيُوحَانَانَ بْنَ قَارِيحَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ كَلَّمُوا إِرْمِيَا قَائِلِينَ: «أَنْتَ مُتَكَلِّمٌ بِٱلْكَذِبِ! لَمْ يُرْسِلْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا لِتَقُولَ: لَا تَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ لِتَتَغَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ 2 |
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
| بَلْ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا مُهَيِّجُكَ عَلَيْنَا لِتَدْفَعَنَا لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَقْتُلُونَا، وَلِيَسْبُونَا إِلَى بَابِلَ». | ٣ 3 |
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْإِقَامَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، | ٤ 4 |
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
| بَلْ أَخَذَ يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ، كُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طُوِّحُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لِيَتَغَرَّبُوا فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، | ٥ 5 |
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
| ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَبَنَاتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، مَعَ جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ، وَإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا، | ٦ 6 |
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
| فَجَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى تَحْفَنْحِيسَ. | ٧ 7 |
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
| ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ قَائِلَةً: | ٨ 8 |
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
| «خُذْ بِيَدِكَ حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً وَٱطْمُرْهَا فِي ٱلْمِلَاطِ، فِي ٱلْمَلْبِنِ ٱلَّذِي عِنْدَ بَابِ بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ أَمَامَ رِجَالٍ يَهُودٍ. | ٩ 9 |
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
| وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ وَآخُذُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ عَبْدِي، وَأَضَعُ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ ٱلَّتِي طَمَرْتُهَا فَيُبْسِطُ دِيبَاجَهُ عَلَيْهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
| وَيَأْتِي وَيَضْرِبُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ، ٱلَّذِي لِلْمَوْتِ فَلِلْمَوْتِ، وَٱلَّذِي لِلسَّبْيِ فَلِلسَّبْيِ، وَٱلَّذِي لِلسَّيْفِ فَلِلسَّيْفِ. | ١١ 11 |
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
| وَأُوقِدُ نَارًا فِي بُيُوتِ آلِهَةِ مِصْرَ فَيُحْرِقُهَا وَيَسْبِيهَا، وَيَلْبَسُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ كَمَا يَلْبَسُ ٱلرَّاعِي رِدَاءَهُ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِسَلَامٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
| وَيَكْسِرُ أَنْصَابَ بَيْتَ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَيُحْرِقُ بُيُوتَ آلِهَةِ مِصْرَ بِٱلنَّارِ». | ١٣ 13 |
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
