إِرْمِيَا 48

١ 1 عَنْ مُوآبَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: وَيْلٌ لِنَبُو لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. خَزِيَتْ وَأُخِذَتْ قَرْيَتَايِمُ. خَزِيَتْ مِسْجَابُ وَٱرْتَعَبَتْ.

Concerning Moab. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is confounded, is taken. Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

٢ 2 لَيْسَ مَوْجُودًا بَعْدُ فَخْرُ مُوآبَ. فِي حَشْبُونَ فَكَّرُوا عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا. هَلُمَّ فَنَقْرِضُهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةً. وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا يَا مَدْمِينُ تُصَمِّينَ وَيَذْهَبُ وَرَاءَكِ ٱلسَّيْفُ.

Moab shall no more glory in Heshbon; They have devised evil against her; “Come, [[say they, ]] and let us cut her off from being a nation!” Thou also shalt be cut down, O Madmena, The sword shall pursue thee!

٣ 3 صَوْتُ صِيَاحٍ مِنْ حُورُونَايِمَ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ عَظِيمٌ.

A cry is heard from Horonaim, Desolation and great destruction.

٤ 4 قَدْ حُطِّمَتْ مُوآبُ، وَأَسْمَعَ صِغَارُهَا صُرَاخًا.

Moab is destroyed; Her little ones raise a cry.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ فِي عَقَبَةِ لُوحِيتَ يَصْعَدُ بُكَاءٌ عَلَى بُكَاءٍ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي مُنْحَدَرِ حُورُونَايِمَ سَمِعَ ٱلْأَعْدَاءُ صُرَاخَ ٱنْكِسَارٍ.

At the ascent of Luhith Weeping goeth up after weeping; At the descent of Horonaim is heard a bitter cry of despair.

٦ 6 ٱهْرُبُوا نَجُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ، وَكُونُوا كَعَرْعَرٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

Flee ye! save your lives! Be ye like one that has been stripped in the wilderness!

٧ 7 «فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱتِّكَالِكِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِكِ وَعَلَى خَزَائِنِكِ سَتُؤْخَذِينَ أَنْتِ أَيْضًا، وَيَخْرُجُ كَمُوشُ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ، كَهَنَتُهُ ورُؤَسَاؤُهُ مَعًا.

For, because thou hast trusted in thy substance and thy treasures, Thou also shalt be taken And Chemosh shall go into captivity, His priests and his princes together.

٨ 8 وَيَأْتِي ٱلْمُهْلِكُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، فَلَا تُفْلِتُ مَدِينَةٌ، فَيَبِيدُ ٱلْوَطَاءُ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلسَّهْلُ كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

The spoiler shall come upon every city, And no city shall escape. The valley shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed, As Jehovah hath spoken.

٩ 9 أَعْطُوا مُوآبَ جَنَاحًا لِأَنَّهَا تَخْرُجُ طَائِرَةً وَتَصِيرُ مُدُنُهَا خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ فِيهَا.

Give wings to Moab, That she may flee away; For her cities shall be a desolation, With none to dwell therein.

١٠ 10 مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِرِخَاءٍ، وَمَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَمْنَعُ سَيْفَهُ عَنِ ٱلدَّمِ.

Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah deceitfully, And cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood!

١١ 11 «مُسْتَرِيحٌ مُوآبُ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ، وَهُوَ مُسْتَقِرٌّ عَلَى دُرْدِيِّهِ، وَلَمْ يُفْرَغْ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. لِذَلِكَ بَقِيَ طَعْمُهُ فِيهِ، وَرَائِحَتُهُ لَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ.

Moab hath been at ease from his youth, And he hath settled on his lees, And hath not been drawn off from vessel to vessel, Neither hath he gone into captivity; Therefore his taste hath remained in him, And his flavor hath not changed.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِ مُصْغِينَ فَيُصْغُونَهُ، وَيُفَرِّغُونَ آنِيَتَهُ، وَيَكْسِرُونَ أَوْعِيَتَهُمْ.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will send to him tilters, who shall tilt him up, And shall empty his vessels, and break his pitchers in pieces.

١٣ 13 فَيَخْجَلُ مُوآبُ مِنْ كَمُوشَ، كَمَا خَجِلَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ مُتَّكَلِهِمْ.

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, As the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.

١٤ 14 «كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَبَابِرَةٌ وَرِجَالُ قُوَّةٍ لِلْحَرْبِ؟

How will ye say, “We are mighty, And strong men for war”?

١٥ 15 أُهْلِكَتْ مُوآبُ وَصَعِدَتْ مُدُنُهَا، وَخِيَارُ مُنْتَخَبِيهَا نَزَلُوا لِلْقَتْلِ، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

Moab is destroyed; His cities have gone up in smoke, And his chosen young men have gone down to slaughter, Saith the King whose name is Jehovah of hosts.

١٦ 16 قَرِيبٌ مَجِيءُ هَلَاكِ مُوآبَ، وَبَلِيَّتُهَا مُسْرِعَةٌ جِدًّا.

The destruction of Moab is near at hand; His destruction hasteth fast.

١٧ 17 اُنْدُبُوهَا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوَالَيْهَا، وَكُلَّ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ ٱسْمَهَا قُولُوا: كَيْفَ ٱنْكَسَرَ قَضِيبُ ٱلْعِزِّ، عَصَا ٱلْجَلَالِ؟

All ye that are about him, bemoan him! And all ye that know him, say, “How is the strong sceptre broken, The splendid staff!”

١٨ 18 اِنْزِلِي مِنَ ٱلْمَجْدِ، ٱجْلِسِي فِي ٱلظَّمَاءِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ بِنْتَ دِيبُونَ، لِأَنَّ مُهْلِكَ مُوآبَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَيْكِ وَأَهْلَكَ حُصُونَكِ.

Come down from thy glory and sit in thirst, O inhabitant of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab shall come against thee! He shall destroy thy strongholds. Stand by the wayside, and look out,

١٩ 19 قِفِي عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَتَطَلَّعِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ عَرُوعِيرَ. ٱسْأَلِي ٱلْهَارِبَ وَٱلنَّاجِيَةَ. قُولِي: مَاذَا حَدَثَ؟

O inhabitant of Aroer! Ask of him that fleeth, and of her that escapeth, And say, “What hath been done?”

٢٠ 20 قَدْ خَزِيَ مُوآبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ نُقِضَ. وَلْوِلُوا وَٱصْرُخُوا. أَخْبِرُوا فِي أَرْنُونَ أَنَّ مُوآبَ قَدْ أُهْلِكَ.

Moab is confounded; for it is broken down; Howl ye, and cry! Tell ye it in Arnon, That Moab is destroyed!

٢١ 21 وَقَدْ جَاءَ ٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَى أَرْضِ ٱلسَّهْلِ، عَلَى حُولُونَ وَعَلَى يَهْصَةَ وَعَلَى مَيْفَعَةَ،

And punishment hath come upon the plain country; Upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

٢٢ 22 وَعَلَى دِيبُونَ وَعَلَى نَبُو وَعَلَى بَيْتِ دَبْلَتَايِمَ،

And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim.

٢٣ 23 وَعَلَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ جَامُولَ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ مَعُونَ،

And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,

٢٤ 24 وَعَلَى قَرْيُوتَ وَعَلَى بُصْرَةَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ وَٱلْقَرِيبَةِ.

And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, And upon all the cities of the land of Moab far and near.

٢٥ 25 عُضِبَ قَرْنُ مُوآبَ، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

The horn of Moab is cut off, And his arm is broken, saith Jehovah.

٢٦ 26 «أَسْكِرُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَتَمَرَّغَ مُوآبُ فِي قُيَائِهِ، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ ضُحْكَةً.

Make ye him drunken, for he hath exalted himself against Jehovah; That he also may wallow in his vomit, And be himself also in derision.

٢٧ 27 أَفَمَا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ضُحْكَةً لَكَ؟ هَلْ وُجِدَ بَيْنَ ٱللُّصُوصِ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ كُلَّمَا كُنْتَ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ كُنْتَ تَنْغَضُ ٱلرَّأْسَ؟

Was not Israel a derision to thee? Was he found among thieves, That, as often as thou spakest of him, thou shouldst shake thy head?

٢٨ 28 خَلُّوا ٱلْمُدُنَ، وَٱسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ يَاسُكَّانَ مُوآبَ، وَكُونُوا كَحَمَامَةٍ تُعَشِّشُ فِي جَوَانِبِ فَمِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ.

Leave the cities and dwell in the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove, that maketh her nest in the sides of the mouth of the pit!

٢٩ 29 قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِكِبْرِيَاءِ مُوآبَ. هُوَ مُتَكَبِّرٌ جِدًّا. بِعَظَمَتِهِ وَبِكِبْرِيَائِهِ وَجَلَالِهِ وَٱرْتِفَاعِ قَلْبِهِ.

We have heard of the pride of Moab; He hath been exceeding proud; His loftiness and his arrogance, His pride and the haughtiness of his heart.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا عَرَفْتُ سَخَطَهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ بَاطِلٌ. أَكَاذِيبُهُ فَعَلَتْ بَاطِلًا.

I, too, know his insolence, saith Jehovah, And his vain boastings. They shall effect nothing.

٣١ 31 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أُوَلْوِلُ عَلَى مُوآبَ، وَعَلَى مُوآبَ كُلِّهِ أَصْرُخُ. يُؤَنُّ عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ.

Therefore will I wail for Moab, Even for all Moab will I cry out; For the men of Kir-heres shall there be mourning.

٣٢ 32 أَبْكِي عَلَيْكِ بُكَاءَ يَعْزِيرَ، يَا جَفْنَةَ سَبْمَةَ. قَدْ عَبَرَتْ قُضْبَانُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَحْرِ يَعْزِيرَ. وَقَعَ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ عَلَى جَنَاكِ، وَعَلَى قِطَافِكِ.

More than Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah! Thy branches have passed beyond the sea; They reach even to the sea of Jazer; Upon thy summer-fruits and thy vintage the spoiler falleth.

٣٣ 33 وَنُزِعَ ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلطَّرَبُ مِنَ ٱلْبُسْتَانِ، وَمِنْ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ. وَقَدْ أُبْطِلَتِ ٱلْخَمْرُ مِنَ ٱلْمَعَاصِرِ. لَا يُدَاسُ بِهُتَافٍ. جَلَبَةٌ لَا هُتَافٌ.

And joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful field; And from the land of Moab, And from the presses, have I caused the wine to fail: No more shall they tread with shouting; The shouting shall be no shouting.

٣٤ 34 قَدْ أَطْلَقُوا صَوْتَهُمْ مِنْ صُرَاخِ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى أَلْعَالَةَ إِلَى يَاهَصَ، مِنْ صُوغَرَ إِلَى حُورُونَايِمَ، كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلَاثِيَّةٍ، لِأَنَّ مِيَاهَ نِمْرِيمَ أَيْضًا تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً.

From wailing Heshbon to Elealeh, Even to Jahaz, is their voice heard, From Zoar even to Horonaim, To Eglath-shelishijah; For even the waters of Nimrim are desolate.

٣٥ 35 وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنْ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مَنْ يُصْعِدُ فِي مُرْتَفَعَةٍ، وَمَنْ يُبَخِّرُ لِآلِهَتِهِ.

And I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, Him that offereth in the high places, And him that burneth incense to his gods.

٣٦ 36 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يُصَوِّتُ قَلْبِي لِمُوآبَ كَنَايٍ، وَيُصَوِّتُ قَلْبِي لِرِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ كَنَايٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثَّرْوَةَ ٱلَّتِي ٱكْتَسَبُوهَا قَدْ بَادَتْ.

Therefore doth my heart sound like a flute for Moab, And for the men of Ker-heres doth my heart sound like a flute; For the remnant of their substance is perished.

٣٧ 37 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَأْسٍ أَقْرَعُ، وَكُلَّ لِحْيَةٍ مَجْزُوزَةٌ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَيَادِي خُمُوشٌ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ مُسُوحٌ.

Every head is bald, And every beard shorn; Upon all hands are cutting, And upon the loins sackcloth.

٣٨ 38 عَلَى كُلِّ سُطُوحِ مُوآبَ وَفِي شَوَارِعِهَا كُلِّهَا نَوْحٌ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ حَطَمْتُ مُوآبَ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا مَسَرَّةَ بِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Upon all the house-tops of Moab, and in her streets, All is lamentation. For I have broken Moab, like a useless vessel, saith Jehovah.

٣٩ 39 يُوَلْوِلُونَ قَائِلِينَ: كَيْفَ نُقِضَتْ؟ كَيْفَ حَوَّلَتْ مُوآبُ قَفَاهَا بِخِزْيٍ؟ فَقَدْ صَارَتْ مُوآبُ ضُحْكَةً وَرُعْبًا لِكُلِّ مَنْ حَوَالَيْهَا.

Howl ye! How is he broken down! How hath Moab turned the back with shame! A derision and a consternation is Moab To all that are round him.

٤٠ 40 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا هُوَ يَطِيرُ كَنَسْرٍ، وَيَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى مُوآبَ.

For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, like an eagle flieth an enemy, And spreadeth his wings over Moab.

٤١ 41 قَدْ أُخِذَتْ قَرْيُوتُ، وَأُمْسِكَتِ ٱلْحَصِينَاتُ، وَسَيَكُونُ قَلْبُ جَبَابِرَةِ مُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ كَقَلْبِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ.

Kerioth is taken, And the strongholds are seized; The hearts of the heroes of Moab in that day Shall be like the heart of a woman in her pangs.

٤٢ 42 وَيَهْلِكُ مُوآبُ عَنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَعْبًا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

And Moab shall be destroyed so as to be no more a people, Because he exalted himself against Jehovah.

٤٣ 43 خَوْفٌ وَحُفْرَةٌ وَفَخٌّ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَاكِنَ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Terror and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.

٤٤ 44 ٱلَّذِي يَهْرُبُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْخَوْفِ يَسْقُطُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ يَعْلَقُ فِي ٱلْفَخِّ، لِأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهَا، أيْ عَلَى مُوآبَ، سَنَةَ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

He that fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare; For I will bring upon it, upon Moab, The year of their punishment, saith Jehovah.

٤٥ 45 فِي ظِلِّ حَشْبُونَ وَقَفَ ٱلْهَارِبُونَ بِلَا قُوَّةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، وَلَهِيبٌ مِنْ وَسْطِ سِيحُونَ، فَأَكَلَتْ زَاوِيَةَ مُوآبَ، وَهَامَةَ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى.

In the valley of Heshbon the fugitives halted for want of strength; But a fire is gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from the midst of Sihon, Which devoureth the region of Moab, And the heads of the sons of tumult.

٤٦ 46 وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ! بَادَ شَعْبُ كَمُوشَ، لِأَنَّ بَنِيكَ قَدْ أُخِذُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ وَبَنَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ.

Woe to thee, O Moab! Undone is the people of Chemosh! For thy sons are taken captives, And thy daughters are captives.

٤٧ 47 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مُوآبَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». إِلَى هُنَا قَضَاءُ مُوآبَ.

Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab In future times, saith Jehovah. Thus far the judgment of Moab.
