إِرْمِيَا 49

١ 1 عَنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَلَيْسَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ بَنُونَ، أَوْ لَا وَارِثٌ لَهُ؟ لِمَاذَا يَرِثُ مَلِكُهُمْ جَادَ، وَشَعْبُهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي مُدُنِهِ؟

Of the children of Ammon. The LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?

٢ 2 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُسْمِعُ فِي رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ جَلَبَةَ حَرْبٍ، وَتَصِيرُ تَّلًا خَرِبًا، وَتُحْرَقُ بَنَاتُهَا بِٱلنَّارِ، فَيَرِثُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِينَ وَرِثُوهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it will become a desolate heap, and her daughters will be burnt with fire; then Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says the LORD.

٣ 3 وَلْوِلِي يَاحَشْبُونُ لِأَنَّ عَايَ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. اُصْرُخْنَ يَا بَنَاتِ رَبَّةَ. تَنَطَّقْنَ بِمُسُوحٍ. ٱنْدُبْنَ وَطَوِّفْنَ بَيْنَ ٱلْجُدْرَانِ، لِأَنَّ مَلِكَهُمْ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ هُوَ وَكَهَنَتُهُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ مَعًا.

“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourself in sackcloth. Lament, and run back and forth amongst the fences; for Malcam will go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

٤ 4 مَا بَالُكِ تَفْتَخِرِينَ بِٱلْأَوْطِيَةِ؟ قَدْ فَاضَ وَطَاؤُكِ دَمًا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبِنْتُ ٱلْمُرْتَدَّةُ وَٱلْمُتَوَكِّلَةُ عَلَى خَزَائِنِهَا، قَائِلَةً: مَنْ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ؟

Why do you boast in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come to me?’

٥ 5 هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكِ خَوْفًا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوَالَيْكِ، وَتُطْرَدُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَا أَمَامَهُ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ ٱلتَّائِهِينَ.

Behold, I will bring a terror on you,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies, “from all who are around you. All of you will be driven completely out, and there will be no one to gather together the fugitives.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

“But afterward I will reverse the captivity of the children of Ammon,” says the LORD.

٧ 7 عَنْ أَدُومَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: أَلَا حِكْمَةَ بَعْدُ فِي تِيْمَانَ؟ هَلْ بَادَتِ ٱلْمَشُورَةُ مِنَ ٱلْفُهَمَاءِ؟ هَلْ فَرَغَتْ حِكْمَتُهُمْ؟

Of Edom, the LORD of Armies says: “Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?

٨ 8 اُهْرُبُوا. ٱلْتَفِتُوا. تَعَمَّقُوا فِي ٱلسَّكَنِ يَا سُكَّانَ دَدَانَ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ جَلَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَلِيَّةَ عِيسُو حِينَ عَاقَبْتُهُ.

Flee! Turn back! Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him.

٩ 9 لَوْ أَتَاكَ ٱلْقَاطِفُونَ، أَفَمَا كَانُوا يَتْرُكُونَ عُلَالَةً؟ أَوِ ٱللُّصُوصُ لَيْلًا، أَفَمَا كَانُوا يُهْلِكُونَ مَا يَكْفِيهِمْ؟

If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves came by night, wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنَّنِي جَرَّدْتُ عِيسُوَ، وَكَشَفْتُ مُسْتَتَرَاتِهِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَخْتَبِئَ. هَلَكَ نَسْلُهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَجِيرَانُهُ، فَلَا يُوجَدُ.

But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he will not be able to hide himself. His offspring is destroyed, with his brothers and his neighbours; and he is no more.

١١ 11 اُتْرُكْ أَيْتَامَكَ أَنَا أُحْيِيهِمْ، وَأَرَامِلُكَ عَلَيَّ لِيَتَوَكَّلْنَ.

Leave your fatherless children. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in me.”

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا حَقَّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا ٱلْكَأْسَ قَدْ شَرِبُوا، فَهَلْ أَنْتَ تَتَبَرَّأُ تَبَرُّؤًا؟ لَا تَتَبَرَّأُ! بَلْ إِنَّمَا تَشْرَبُ شُرْبًا.

For the LORD says: “Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup will certainly drink; and are you he who will altogether go unpunished? You won’t go unpunished, but you will surely drink.

١٣ 13 لِأَنِّي بِذَاتِي حَلَفْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّ بُصْرَةَ تَكُونُ دَهَشًا وَعَارًا وَخَرَابًا وَلَعْنَةً، وَكُلُّ مُدُنِهَا تَكُونُ خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.

For I have sworn by myself,” says the LORD, “that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will be perpetual wastes.”

١٤ 14 قَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرًا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأُرْسِلَ رَسُولٌ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ قَائِلًا: تَجَمَّعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا عَلَيْهَا، وَقُومُوا لِلْحَرْبِ.

I have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent amongst the nations, saying, “Gather yourselves together! Come against her! Rise up to the battle!”

١٥ 15 لِأَنِّي هَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيرًا بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَمُحْتَقَرًا بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

“For, behold, I have made you small amongst the nations, and despised amongst men.

١٦ 16 قَدْ غَرَّكَ تَخْوِيفُكَ، كِبْرِيَاءُ قَلْبِكَ، يَاسَاكِنُ فِي مَحَاجِئِ ٱلصَّخْرِ، ٱلْمَاسِكَ مُرْتَفَعِ ٱلْأَكَمَةِ. وَإِنْ رَفَعْتَ كَنَسْرٍ عُشَّكَ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُحْدِرُكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.

١٧ 17 وَتَصِيرُ أَدُومُ عَجَبًا. كُلُّ مَارٍّ بِهَا يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ ضَرَبَاتِهَا!

“Edom will become an astonishment. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will hiss at all its plagues.

١٨ 18 كَٱنْقِلَابِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمُجَاوَرَاتِهِمَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ وَلَا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ.

As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbour cities,” says the LORD, “no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.

١٩ 19 هُوَذَا يَصْعَدُ كَأَسَدٍ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى مَرْعًى دَائِمٍ. لِأَنِّي أَغْمِزُ وَأَجْعَلُهُ يَرْكُضُ عَنْهُ. فَمَنْ هُوَ مُنْتَخَبٌ، فَأُقِيمَهُ عَلَيْهِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ مِثْلِي؟ وَمَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلَّذِي يَقِفُ أَمَامِي؟

“Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it. For who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”

٢٠ 20 لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي قَضَى بِهَا عَلَى أَدُومَ، وَأَفْكَارَهُ ٱلَّتِي ٱفْتَكَرَ بِهَا عَلَى سُكَّانِ تِيمَانَ: إِنَّ صِغَارَ ٱلْغَنَمِ تَسْحَبُهُمْ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرِبُ مَسْكَنَهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom, and his purposes that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they will drag them away, the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.

٢١ 21 مِنْ صَوْتِ سُقُوطِهِمْ رَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. صَرْخَةٌ سُمِعَ صَوْتُهَا فِي بَحْرِ سُوفَ.

The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.

٢٢ 22 هُوَذَا كَنَسْرٍ يَرْتَفِعُ وَيَطِيرُ وَيَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى بُصْرَةَ، وَيَكُونُ قَلْبُ جَبَابِرَةِ أَدُومَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ كَقَلْبِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ».

Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

٢٣ 23 عَنْ دِمَشْقَ: «خَزِيَتْ حَمَاةُ وَأَرْفَادُ. قَدْ ذَابُوا لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَمِعُوا خَبَرًا رَدِيئًا. فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱضْطِرَابٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْهُدُوءَ.

Of Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard evil news. They have melted away. There is sorrow on the sea. It can’t be quiet.

٢٤ 24 ٱرْتَخَتْ دِمَشْقُ وَٱلْتَفَتَتْ لِلْهَرَبِ. أَمْسَكَتْهَا ٱلرِّعْدَةُ، وَأَخَذَهَا ٱلضِّيقُ وَٱلْأَوْجَاعُ كَمَاخِضٍ.

Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

٢٥ 25 كَيْفَ لَمْ تُتْرَكِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلشَّهِيرَةُ، قَرْيَةُ فَرَحِي؟

How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

٢٦ 26 لِذَلِكَ تَسْقُطُ شُبَّانُهَا فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، وَتَهْلِكُ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD of Armies.

٢٧ 27 وَأُشْعِلُ نَارًا فِي سُورِ دِمَشْقَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ بَنْهَدَدَ».

“I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.”

٢٨ 28 عَنْ قِيدَارَ وَعَنْ مَمَالِكِ حَاصُورَ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قُومُوا ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَى قِيدَارَ. ٱخْرِبُوا بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ.

Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, The LORD says: “Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

٢٩ 29 يَأْخُذُونَ خِيَامَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ، وَيَأْخُذُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ شُقَقَهُمْ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِمْ وَجِمَالَهُمْ، وَيُنَادُونَ إِلَيْهِمِ: ٱلْخَوْفَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.

They will take their tents and their flocks. they will carry away for themselves their curtains, all their vessels, and their camels; and they will cry to them, ‘Terror on every side!’

٣٠ 30 «اُهْرُبُوا. ٱنْهَزِمُوا جِدًّا. تَعَمَّقُوا فِي ٱلسَّكَنِ يَاسُكَّانَ حَاصُورَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ أَشَارَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَشُورَةً، وَفَكَّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِكْرًا.

Flee! Wander far off! Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says the LORD; “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

٣١ 31 قُومُوا ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ سَاكِنَةٍ آمِنَةٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا مَصَارِيعَ وَلَا عَوَارِضَ لَهَا. تَسْكُنُ وَحْدَهَا.

Arise! Go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care,” says the LORD; “that has neither gates nor bars, that dwells alone.

٣٢ 32 وَتَكُونُ جِمَالُهُمْ نَهْبًا، وَكَثْرَةُ مَاشِيَتِهِمْ غَنِيمَةً، وَأُذْرِي لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ مَقْصُوصِي ٱلشَّعْرِ مُسْتَدِيرًا، وَآتِي بِهَلَاكِهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَاتِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Their camels will be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a plunder. I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,” says the LORD.

٣٣ 33 وَتَكُونُ حَاصُورُ مَسْكَنَ بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَخَرِبَةً إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. لَا يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلَا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ».

Hazor will be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever. No man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.”

٣٤ 34 كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَلَى عِيلَامَ، فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ مُلْكِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلَةً:

The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

٣٥ 35 «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هَأَنَذَا أُحَطِّمُ قَوْسَ عِيلَامَ أَوَّلَ قُوَّتِهِمْ.

“The LORD of Armies says: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

٣٦ 36 وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى عِيلَامَ أَرْبَعَ رِيَاحٍ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأُذْرِيهِمْ لِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلرِّيَاحِ وَلَا تَكُونُ أُمَّةٌ إِلَّا وَيَأْتِي إِلَيْهَا مَنْفِيُّو عِيلَامَ.

I will bring on Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them towards all those winds. There will be no nation where the outcasts of Elam will not come.

٣٧ 37 وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْعِيلَامِيِّينَ يَرْتَعِبُونَ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَأَمَامَ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا، حُمُوَّ غَضَبِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَأُرْسِلُ وَرَاءَهُمُ ٱلسَّيْفَ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life. I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.

٣٨ 38 وَأَضَعُ كُرْسِيِّي فِي عِيلَامَ، وَأُبِيدُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes,’ says the LORD.

٣٩ 39 «وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ عِيلَامَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

‘But it will happen in the latter days that I will reverse the captivity of Elam,’ says the LORD.”
