< إِرْمِيَا 46 >

كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، ١ 1
So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
عَنْ مِصْرَ، عَنْ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ نَخُو مَلِكِ مِصْرَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ فِي كَرْكَمِيشَ، ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: ٢ 2
Of Egypt, Concerning the force of Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates, in Carchemish, —which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, smote, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: —
«أَعِدُّوا ٱلْمِجَنَّ وَٱلتُّرْسَ وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. ٣ 3
Prepare ye buckler and shield, And draw near to battle:
أَسْرِجُوا ٱلْخَيْلَ، وَٱصْعَدُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْفُرْسَانُ، وَٱنْتَصِبُوا بِٱلْخُوَذِ. ٱصْقِلُوا ٱلرِّمَاحَ. ٱلْبَسُوا ٱلدُّرُوعَ. ٤ 4
Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, Stand forth in helmets, —Polish the lances, put on the coats of mail.
لِمَاذَا أَرَاهُمْ مُرْتَعِبِينَ وَمُدْبِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَقَدْ تَحَطَّمَتْ أَبْطَالُهُمْ وَفَرُّوا هَارِبِينَ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتُوا؟ ٱلْخَوْفُ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٥ 5
Why have I seen it? They, panic-struck, are drawing back, Yea, their heroes, are crushed, Yea they have, fled, and not turned, —Terror round about! Declareth Yahweh.
ٱلْخَفِيفُ لَا يَنُوصُ وَٱلْبَطَلُ لَا يَنْجُو. فِي ٱلشِّمَالِ بِجَانِبِ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا. ٦ 6
Let not the swift, flee, Nor let the hero, escape, —Northward, beside the river Euphrates, have they stumbled, and fallen.
مَنْ هَذَا ٱلصَّاعِدُ كَٱلنِّيلِ، كَأَنْهَارٍ تَتَلَاطَمُ أَمْوَاهُهَا؟ ٧ 7
Who is it that is like the Nile when it riseth, Like rivers when his waters are tossed?
تَصْعَدُ مِصْرُ كَٱلنِّيلِ، وَكَأَنْهَارٍ تَتَلَاطَمُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. فَيَقُولُ: أَصْعَدُ وَأُغَطِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ. أُهْلِكُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. ٨ 8
Egypt was like the Nile when it riseth, And like rivers, when the waters are tossed: So he said—I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city, and the dwellers therein.
ٱصْعَدِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْخَيْلُ، وَهِيجِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتُ، وَلْتَخْرُجِ ٱلْأَبْطَالُ: كُوشُ وَفُوطُ ٱلْقَابِضَانِ ٱلْمِجَنَّ، وَٱللُّودِيُّونَ ٱلْقَابِضُونَ وَٱلْمَادُّونَ ٱلْقَوْسَ. ٩ 9
Mount the horses, And drive the chariots madly on, So let the heroes, go forth, —Ethiopians and Libyans that grasp the buckler, And Lydians that grasp—that tread—the bow, But, that day, belongeth to My Lord Yahweh of hosts—
فَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَوْمُ نَقْمَةٍ لِلِٱنْتِقَامِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيهِ، فَيَأْكُلُ ٱلسَّيْفُ وَيَشْبَعُ وَيَرْتَوِي مِنْ دَمِهِمْ. لِأَنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ذَبِيحَةً فِي أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ. ١٠ 10
A day of avenging, to avenge him of his adversaries, When the sword shall devour and be filled, and be sated with their blood, —For, a sacrifice, hath My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, In the land of the North Towards the river Euphrates.
ٱصْعَدِي إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَخُذِي بَلَسَانًا يَا عَذْرَاءَ، بِنْتَ مِصْرَ. بَاطِلًا تُكَثِّرِينَ ٱلْعَقَاقِيرَ. لَا رِفَادَةَ لَكِ. ١١ 11
Go up to Gilead and fetch balsam, O virgin daughter of Egypt! In vain, hast thou multiplied remedies, Healing, there is none for thee.
قَدْ سَمِعَتِ ٱلْأُمَمُ بِخِزْيِكِ، وَقَدْ مَلَأَ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَوِيلُكِ، لِأَنَّ بَطَلًا يَصْدِمُ بَطَلًا فَيَسْقُطَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا». ١٢ 12
The nations have heard of thy disgrace, And, thine outcry, hath filled the earth, —For hero against hero, have they stumbled, Together, have fallen, the twain!
اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ فِي مَجِيءِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ لِيَضْرِبَ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ: ١٣ 13
The word which Yahweh spake unto Jeremiah the prophet, —as to the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt: —
«أَخْبِرُوا فِي مِصْرَ، وَأَسْمِعُوا فِي مَجْدَلَ، وَأَسْمِعُوا فِي نُوفَ وَفِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ. قُولُوا ٱنْتَصِبْ وَتَهَيَّأْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيْفَ يَأْكُلُ حَوَالَيْكَ. ١٤ 14
Tell ye it in Egypt, And let it be heard in Migdol, Yea let it be heard in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, —Say ye—Stand thou forth, and prepare thyself, For a sword hath devoured round about thee.
لِمَاذَا ٱنْطَرَحَ مُقْتَدِرُوكَ؟ لَا يَقِفُونَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ طَرَحَهُمْ! ١٥ 15
Wherefore have thy valiant ones been laid prostrate? He hath made no stand, because, Yahweh, hath driven him back:
كَثَّرَ ٱلْعَاثِرِينَ حَتَّى يَسْقُطَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، وَيَقُولُوا: قُومُوا فَنَرْجِعَ إِلَى شَعْبِنَا، وَإِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلَادِنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلصَّارِمِ. ١٦ 16
Hath made many a one to be stumbling, Yea fallen is every one against his neighbour, So they have said—Arise and let us return to our own people, And unto the land of our birth, From the face of the sword of the oppressor.
قَدْ نَادُوا هُنَاكَ: فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ هَالِكٌ. قَدْ فَاتَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ. ١٧ 17
Proclaim ye a name, —Pharaoh, king of Egypt—a Sound! He hath overstepped the time appointed!
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ، كَتَابُورٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَكَكَرْمَلٍ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ يَأْتِي. ١٨ 18
As I live, saith the King, Yahweh of hosts, is his name: Though Like Tabor among mountains, Like Carmel, Into the sea shall he go!
اِصْنَعِي لِنَفْسِكِ أُهْبَةَ جَلَاءٍ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبِنْتُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّ نُوفَ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً وَتُحْرَقُ فَلَا سَاكِنَ. ١٩ 19
Baggage for captivity, prepare thee, O inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; For, Noph, shall become a desolation, And be burned without inhabitant.
مِصْرُ عِجْلَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ جِدًّا. ٱلْهَلَاكُ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ جَاءَ جَاءَ. ٢٠ 20
A calf of great beauty, is Egypt: The gad-fly, out of the North, cometh—cometh.
أَيْضًا مُسْتَأْجَرُوهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا كَعُجُولِ صِيرَةٍ. لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ أَيْضًا يَرْتَدُّونَ، يَهْرُبُونَ مَعًا. لَمْ يَقِفُوا لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ هَلَاكِهِمْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِمْ، وَقْتَ عِقَابِهِمْ. ٢١ 21
Even her hirelings in her midst are like fatted calves, For, even they, have turned—have fled at once! have made no stand! For, their day of doom, hath come upon them, The time of their visitation.
صَوْتُهَا يَمْشِي كَحَيَّةٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَسِيرُونَ بِجَيْشٍ، وَقَدْ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهَا بِٱلْفُؤُوسِ كَمُحْتَطِبِي حَطَبٍ. ٢٢ 22
Her noise, like a serpent, departeth, —For, with a force, they advance, And with axes, have they come against her, like them who fell trees:
يَقْطَعُونَ وَعْرَهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِنْ يَكُنْ لَا يُحْصَى، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كَثُرُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْجَرَادِ، وَلَا عَدَدَ لَهُمْ. ٢٣ 23
They have cut down her forest Declareth Yahweh, Surely he cannot be searched out, —For they have outnumbered locusts, and cannot be counted.
قَدْ أُخْزِيَتْ بِنْتُ مِصْرَ وَدُفِعَتْ لِيَدِ شَعْبِ ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٢٤ 24
Put to shame is the daughter of Egypt, —She hath been delivered into the hand of the people of the North.
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُ أَمُونَ نُو وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَمِصْرَ وَآلِهَتَهَا وَمُلُوكَهَا، فِرْعَوْنَ وَٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْهِ. ٢٥ 25
Saith Yahweh of host God of Israel, —Behold me! bringing punishment—against Amon of No, and upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and upon her gods and upon her kings, —Even upon Pharaoh, and upon all that trust in him;
وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْراصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَلِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ. ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُسْكَنُ كَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٦ 26
And I will deliver them—Into the hand of them who are seeking their life, Even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon And into the hand of his servants, —And after that, shall it be inhabited as in the days of old Declareth Yahweh.
«وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ، وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُخَلِّصُكَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَنَسْلَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ، فَيَرْجِعُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَطْمَئِنُّ وَيَسْتَرِيحُ وَلَا مُخِيفٌ. ٢٧ 27
Thou, therefore, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob Nor be dismayed O Israel, For behold me! Saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, —So shall Jacob return and be quiet and shall rest, With none to occasion alarm.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَاعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ فَلَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ، لِأَنِّي أُفْنِي كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدْتُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَا أُفْنِيكَ، بَلْ أُؤَدِّبُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا أُبَرِّئُكَ تَبْرِئَةً». ٢٨ 28
Thou, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob, Urgeth Yahweh, For, with thee, am I: Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, Yet of thee, will I not make an end, But will correct thee in measure, And not hold thee, guiltless,
