إِرْمِيَا 43

١ 1 وَكَانَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ أَنْ كَلَّمَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ،بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلكَلَامِ،

And it comes to pass, when Jeremiah finishes speaking to all the people all the words of their God YHWH, with which their God YHWH has sent him to them—all these words—

٢ 2 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.

that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, speak to Jeremiah, saying, “You are speaking falsehood; our God YHWH has not sent you to say, Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there;

٣ 3 بَلْ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا مُهَيِّجُكَ عَلَيْنَا لِتَدْفَعَنَا لِيَدِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَقْتُلُونَا، وَلِيَسْبُونَا إِلَى بَابِلَ».

for Baruch son of Neriah is moving you against us, in order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to remove us to Babylon.”

٤ 4 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلْإِقَامَةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا،

And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, and all the people, have not listened to the voice of YHWH, to dwell in the land of Judah;

٥ 5 بَلْ أَخَذَ يُوحَانَانُ بْنُ قَارِيحَ، وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجُيُوشِ، كُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طُوِّحُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لِيَتَغَرَّبُوا فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا،

and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the nations to where they were driven to sojourn in the land of Judah,

٦ 6 ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَبَنَاتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، مَعَ جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَخِيقَامَ بْنِ شَافَانَ، وَإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا،

the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah,

٧ 7 فَجَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى تَحْفَنْحِيسَ.

and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and they come as far as Tahpanhes.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ قَائِلَةً:

And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

٩ 9 «خُذْ بِيَدِكَ حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً وَٱطْمُرْهَا فِي ٱلْمِلَاطِ، فِي ٱلْمَلْبِنِ ٱلَّذِي عِنْدَ بَابِ بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ أَمَامَ رِجَالٍ يَهُودٍ.

“Take great stones in your hand, and you have hidden them in the clay in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah,

١٠ 10 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.

and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he has stretched out his pavilion over them,

١١ 11 وَيَأْتِي وَيَضْرِبُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ، ٱلَّذِي لِلْمَوْتِ فَلِلْمَوْتِ، وَٱلَّذِي لِلسَّبْيِ فَلِلسَّبْيِ، وَٱلَّذِي لِلسَّيْفِ فَلِلسَّيْفِ.

and he has come, and struck the land of Egypt—those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword.

١٢ 12 وَأُوقِدُ نَارًا فِي بُيُوتِ آلِهَةِ مِصْرَ فَيُحْرِقُهَا وَيَسْبِيهَا، وَيَلْبَسُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ كَمَا يَلْبَسُ ٱلرَّاعِي رِدَاءَهُ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِسَلَامٍ.

And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and it has burned them, and he has taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as the shepherd covers himself with his garment, and he has gone forth there in peace;

١٣ 13 وَيَكْسِرُ أَنْصَابَ بَيْتَ شَمْسٍ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَيُحْرِقُ بُيُوتَ آلِهَةِ مِصْرَ بِٱلنَّارِ».

and he has broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and he burns the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.”
