< إِرْمِيَا 44 >

اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ جِهَةِ كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَجْدَلَ وَفِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ، وَفِي نُوفَ وَفِي أَرْضِ فَتْرُوسَ قَائِلَةً: ١ 1
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي جَلَبْتُهُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، فَهَا هِيَ خَرِبَةٌ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَيْسَ فِيهَا سَاكِنٌ، ٢ 2
"Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah; and look, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّهِمِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلُوهُ لِيُغِيظُونِي، إِذْ ذَهَبُوا لِيُبَخِّرُوا وَيَعْبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا هُمْ وَلَا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا آبَاؤُكُمْ. ٣ 3
because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods, that they did not know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُرْسِلًا قَائِلًا: لَا تَفْعَلُوا أَمْرَ هَذَا ٱلرِّجْسِ ٱلَّذِي أَبْغَضْتُهُ. ٤ 4
However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.'
فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَا أَمَالُوا أُذْنَهُمْ لِيَرْجِعُوا عَنْ شَرِّهِمْ فَلَا يُبَخِّرُوا لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى. ٥ 5
But they did not listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.
فَٱنْسَكَبَ غَيْظِي وَغَضَبِي، وَٱشْتَعَلَا في مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَصَارَتْ خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٦ 6
Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.'
فَٱلْآنَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لِمَاذَا أَنْتُمْ فَاعِلُونَ شَرًّا عَظِيمًا ضِدَّ أَنْفُسِكُمْ لِٱنْقِرَاضِكُمْ رِجَالًا وَنِسَاءً أَطْفَالًا وَرُضَّعًا مِنْ وَسْطِ يَهُوذَا وَلَا تَبْقَى لَكُمْ بَقِيَّةٌ؟ ٧ 7
Therefore now thus says YHWH, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the midst of Judah, to leave yourselves none remaining;
لِإِغَاظَتِي بِأَعْمَالِ أَيَادِيكُمْ، إِذْ تُبَخِّرُونَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ ٱلَّتِي أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيْهَا لِتَتَغَرَّبُوا فِيهَا، لِكَيْ تَنْقَرِضُوا وَلِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا لَعْنَةً وَعَارًا بَيْنَ كُلِّ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٨ 8
in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
هَلْ نَسِيتُمْ شُرُورَ آبَائِكُمْ وَشُرُورَ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا وَشُرُورَ نِسَائِهِمْ، وَشُرُورَكُمْ وَشُرُورَ نِسَائِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي فُعِلَتْ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ ٩ 9
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
لَمْ يُذَلُّوا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَلَا خَافُوا وَلَا سَلَكُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِي وَفَرَائِضِي ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ وَأَمَامَ آبَائِكُمْ. ١٠ 10
They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.'
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي عَلَيْكُمْ لِلشَّرِّ، وَلِأَقْرِضَ كُلَّ يَهُوذَا. ١١ 11
Therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
وَآخُذُ بَقِيَّةَ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ، فَيَفْنَوْنَ كُلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَبِالْجُوعِ. يَفْنَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ. يَمُوتُونَ وَيَصِيرُونَ حَلْفًا وَدَهَشًا وَلَعْنَةً وَعَارًا. ١٢ 12
I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
وَأُعَاقِبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، كَمَا عَاقَبْتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ. ١٣ 13
For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
وَلَا يَكُونُ نَاجٍ وَلَا بَاقٍ لِبَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذَا ٱلْآتِينَ لِيَتَغَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّتِي يَشْتَاقُونَ إِلَى ٱلرُّجُوعِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلسَّكَنِ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرْجِعُ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا ٱلْمُنْفَلِتُونَ». ١٤ 14
so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.'"
فَأَجَابَ إِرْمِيَا كُلُّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَرَفُوا أَنَّ نِسَاءَهُمْ يُبَخِّرْنَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَكُلُّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْوَاقِفَاتِ، مَحْفَلٌ كَبِيرٌ، وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي فَتْرُوسَ قَائِلِينَ: ١٥ 15
Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
«إِنَّنَا لَا نَسْمَعُ لَكَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمْتَنَا بِهَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ١٦ 16
"As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of YHWH, we will not listen to you.
بَلْ سَنَعْمَلُ كُلَّ أَمْرٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ فَمِنَا، فَنُبَخِّرُ لِمَلِكَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَنَسْكُبُ لَهَا سَكَائِبَ. كَمَا فَعَلْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا وَمُلُوكُنَا وَرُؤَسَاؤُنَا فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَشَبِعْنَا خُبْزًا وَكُنَّا بِخَيْرٍ وَلَمْ نَرَ شَرًّا. ١٧ 17
But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our leaders, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
وَلَكِنْ مِنْ حِينَ كَفَفْنَا عَنِ ٱلتَّبْخِيرِ لِمَلِكَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَسَكْبِ سَكَائِبَ لَهَا، ٱحْتَجْنَا إِلَى كُلٍّ، وَفَنِينَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ. ١٨ 18
But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine."
وَإِذْ كُنَّا نُبَخِّرُ لِمَلِكَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَسْكُبُ لَهَا سَكَائِبَ، فَهَلْ بِدُونِ رِجَالِنَا كُنَّا نَصْنَعُ لَهَا كَعْكًا لِنَعْبُدَهَا وَنَسْكُبُ لَهَا ٱلسَّكَائِبَ؟». ١٩ 19
And the women said, "When we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?"
فَكَلَّمَ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَكُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاوَبُوهُ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ قَائِلًا: ٢٠ 20
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
«أَلَيْسَ ٱلْبَخُورُ ٱلَّذِي بَخَّرْتُمُوهُ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ وَمُلُوكُكُمْ وَرُؤَسَاؤُكُمْ وَشَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَصَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ. ٢١ 21
"The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your leaders, and the people of the land. Did not YHWH remember them, and did not it come into his mind,
وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَحْتَمِلَ بَعْدُ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلْتُمْ، فَصَارَتْ أَرْضُكُمْ خَرِبَةً وَدَهَشًا وَلَعْنَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٢ 22
so that YHWH could no longer bear because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed? Therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَخَّرْتُمْ وَأَخْطَأْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ مِنْ أَجِلِ ذَلِكُمْ قَدْ أَصَابَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلشَّرُّ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». ٢٣ 23
Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not obeyed the voice of YHWH, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day."
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِكُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَلِكُلِّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ: «ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٢٤ 24
Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, "Hear the word of YHWH, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:
هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: أَنْتُمْ وَنِسَاؤُكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِفَمِكُمْ وَأَكْمَلْتُمْ بِأَيَادِيكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّنَا إِنَّمَا نُتَمِّمُ نُذُورَنَا ٱلَّتِي نَذَرْنَاهَا، أَنْ نُبَخِّرَ لِمَلِكَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَسْكُبُ لَهَا سَكَائِبَ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ يُقِمْنَ نُذُورَكُمْ، وَيُتَمِّمْنَ نُذُورَكُمْ. ٢٥ 25
Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, "We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her": establish then your vows, and perform your vows.'
لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَاجَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ: هَأَنَذَا قَدْ حَلَفْتُ بِٱسْمِي ٱلْعَظِيمِ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّ ٱسْمِي لَنْ يُسَمَّى بَعْدُ بِفَمِ إِنْسَانٍ مَّا مِنْ يَهُوذَا فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَائِلًا: حَيٌّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٦ 26
Therefore hear the word of YHWH, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: 'Look, I have sworn by my great name,' says YHWH, 'that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, "As YHWH lives."
هَأَنَذَا أَسْهَرُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلشَّرِّ لَا لِلْخَيْرِ، فَيَفْنَى كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ حَتَّى يَتَلَاشَوْا. ٢٧ 27
Look, I watch over them for disaster, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.
وَٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ يَرْجِعُونَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا نَفَرًا قَلِيلًا، فَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَتُوْا إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبُوا فِيهَا، كَلِمَةَ أَيِّنَا تَقُومُ. ٢٨ 28
Those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
«وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ لَكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي أُعَاقِبُكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَقُومَ كَلَامِي عَلَيْكُمْ لِلشَّرِّ. ٢٩ 29
This shall be the sign to you,' says YHWH, 'that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil':
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَدْفَعُ فِرْعَوْنَ حَفْرَعَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لِيَدِ أَعْدَائِهِ وَلِيَدِ طَالِبِي نَفْسِهِ، كَمَا دَفَعْتُ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا لِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ عَدُوِّهِ وَطَالِبِ نَفْسِهِ». ٣٠ 30
Thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.'"
