اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا عِنْدَ كَتَابَتِهِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ فِي سِفْرٍ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: ١ 1
This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah. This happened when he wrote in a scroll these words at Jeremiah's dictation—this was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, and he said,
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَكَ يَا بَارُوخُ: ٢ 2
“Yahweh, God of Israel, says this to you, Baruch:
قَدْ قُلْتَ: وَيْلٌ لِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ زَادَ حُزْنًا عَلَى أَلَمِي. قَدْ غُشِيَ عَلَيَّ في تَنَهُّدِي، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ رَاحَةً. ٣ 3
You have said, 'Woe is me, for Yahweh has added agony to my pain. My groaning has wearied me; I find no rest.'
«هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَهْدِمُ مَا بَنَيْتُهُ، وَأَقْتَلِعُ مَا غَرَسْتُهُ، وَكُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٤ 4
This is what you must say to him: 'Yahweh says this: See, what I built, I am now tearing down. What I planted, I am now pulling up—I will do this throughout all the earth.
وَأَنْتَ فَهَلْ تَطْلُبُ لِنَفْسِكَ أُمُورًا عَظِيمَةً؟ لَا تَطْلُبُ! لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُعْطِيكَ نَفْسَكَ غَنِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ ٱلْمَوَاضِعِ ٱلَّتِي تَسِيرُ إِلَيْهَا». ٥ 5
But are you hoping for great things for yourself? Do not hope for that. For see, disaster is coming on all humanity—this is Yahweh's declaration—but I am giving you your life as your plunder everywhere you will go.'”
