< إِرْمِيَا 50 >

ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَابِلَ وَعَنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى يَدِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ: ١ 1
The word that YHWH has spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet:
«أَخْبِرُوا فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَسْمِعُوا وَٱرْفَعُوا رَايَةً. أَسْمِعُوا لَا تُخْفُوا. قُولُوا: أُخِذَتْ بَابِلُ. خَزِيَ بِيلُ. ٱنْسَحَقَ مَرُودَخُ. خَزِيَتْ أَوْثَانُهَا. ٱنْسَحَقَتْ أَصْنَامُهَا. ٢ 2
“Declare among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say, Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Merodach has been broken, Her grievous things have been put to shame, Her idols have been broken.
لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهَا أُمَّةٌ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ هِيَ تَجْعَلُ أَرْضَهَا خَرِبَةً فَلَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا سَاكِنٌ. مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ إِلَى حَيَوَانٍ هَرَبُوا وَذَهَبُوا. ٣ 3
For a nation from the north has come up against her, It makes her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even to beast, They have moved, they have gone.
«فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، يَأْتِي بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هُمْ وَبَنُو يَهُوذَا مَعًا. يَسِيرُونَ سَيْرًا، وَيَبْكُونَ وَيَطْلُبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ. ٤ 4
In those days, and at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “Sons of Israel come in, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And they seek their God YHWH.
يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، قَائِلِينَ: هَلُمَّ فَنَلْصَقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ بِعَهْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ لَا يُنْسَى. ٥ 5
They ask the way [to] Zion, Their faces [are] toward that place: Come in, and we are joined to YHWH, A perpetual covenant—never forgotten.
كَانَ شَعْبِي خِرَافًا ضَالَّةً، قَدْ أَضَلَّتْهُمْ رُعَاتُهُمْ. عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ أَتَاهُوهُمْ. سَارُوا مِنْ جَبَلٍ إِلَى أَكَمَةٍ. نَسُوا مَرْبَضَهُمْ. ٦ 6
My people have been a perishing flock, Their shepherds have caused them to err, Causing them to go back [on] the mountains, They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their crouching-place.
كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ وَجَدُوهُمْ أَكَلُوهُمْ، وَقَالَ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ: لَا نُذْنِبُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، مَسْكِنِ ٱلْبِرِّ وَرَجَاءِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٧ 7
All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against YHWH, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers—YHWH.
اُهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسْطِ بَابِلَ وَٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَكُونُوا مِثْلَ كَرَارِيِزَ أَمَامَ ٱلْغَنَمِ. ٨ 8
Move from the midst of Babylon, And go out from the land of the Chaldeans; And be as male goats before a flock.
«لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُوقِظُ وَأُصْعِدُ عَلَى بَابِلَ جُمْهُورَ شُعُوبٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، فَيَصْطَفُّونَ عَلَيْهَا. مِنْ هُنَاكَ تُؤْخَذُ. نِبَالُهُمْ كَبَطَلٍ مُهْلِكٍ لَا يَرْجِعُ فَارِغًا. ٩ 9
For behold, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from [the] land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From there she is captured, Its arrow—as a skillful hero—does not return empty,
وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ غَنِيمَةً. كُلُّ مُغْتَنِمِيهَا يَشْبَعُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٠ 10
And Chaldea has been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied,” A declaration of YHWH.
لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ فَرِحْتُمْ وَشَمِتُّمْ يَا نَاهِبِي مِيرَاثِي، وَقَفَزْتُمْ كَعِجْلَةٍ فِي ٱلْكَلَإِ، وَصَهَلْتُمْ كَخَيْلٍ، ١١ 11
“Because you rejoice, because you exult, O spoilers of My inheritance, Because you increase as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And cry aloud as bulls,
تَخْزَى أُمُّكُمْ جِدًّا. تَخْجَلُ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. هَا آخِرَةُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بَرِّيَّةٌ وَأَرْضٌ نَاشِفَةٌ وَقَفْرٌ. ١٢ 12
Your mother has been greatly ashamed, She who bore you has been confounded, Behold, the last of nations [is] a wilderness, A dry land, and a desert.
بِسَبَبِ سَخَطِ ٱلرَّبِّ لَا تُسْكَنُ، بَلْ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً بِٱلتَّمَامِ. كُلُّ مَارٍّ بِبَابِلَ يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ ضَرَبَاتِهَا. ١٣ 13
Because of the wrath of YHWH it is not inhabited, And it has been a desolation—all of it. Everyone passing by at Babylon is astonished, And hisses because of all her plagues.
اِصْطَفُّوا عَلَى بَابِلَ حَوَالَيْهَا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْزِعُونَ فِي ٱلْقَوْسِ. ٱرْمُوا عَلَيْهَا. لَا تُوَفِّرُوا ٱلسِّهَامَ لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ أَخْطَأَتْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٤ 14
Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, All you treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For she has sinned against YHWH.
ٱهْتِفُوا عَلَيْهَا حَوَالَيْهَا. قَدْ أَعْطَتْ يَدَهَا. سَقَطَتْ أُسُسُهَا. نُقِضَتْ أَسْوَارُهَا. لِأَنَّهَا نَقْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ، فَٱنْقِمُوا مِنْهَا. كَمَا فَعَلَتِ ٱفْعَلُوا بِهَا. ١٥ 15
Shout against her all around, She has given forth her hand, Her foundations have fallen, Her walls have been thrown down, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, Be avenged of her, as she did—do to her.
ٱقْطَعُوا ٱلزَّارِعَ مِنْ بَابِلَ، وَمَاسِكَ ٱلْمِنْجَلِ فِي وَقْتِ ٱلْحَصَادِ. مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلْقَاسِي يَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَيَهْرُبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. ١٦ 16
Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
«إِسْرَائِيلُ غَنَمٌ مُتَبَدِّدَةٌ. قَدْ طَرَدَتْهُ ٱلسِّبَاعُ. أَوَّلًا أَكَلَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، ثُمَّ هَذَا ٱلْأَخِيرُ، نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هَرَسَ عِظَامَهُ. ١٧ 17
Israel [is as] a scattered sheep, Lions have driven [him] away, At first, the king of Asshur devoured him, And now, at last, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bone.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَأَرْضَهُ كَمَا عَاقَبْتُ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ. ١٨ 18
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
وَأَرُدُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، فَيَرْعَى كَرْمَلَ وَبَاشَانَ، وَفِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَجِلْعَادَ تَشْبَعُ نَفْسُهُ. ١٩ 19
And I have brought Israel back to his habitation, And he has fed on Carmel and on Bashan; And his soul is satisfied on Mount Ephraim and on Gilead.
فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، يُطْلَبُ إِثْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَا يَكُونُ، وَخَطِيَّةُ يَهُوذَا فَلَا تُوجَدُ، لِأَنِّي أَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ أُبْقِيهِ. ٢٠ 20
In those days, and at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “The iniquity of Israel is sought, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
«اِصْعَدْ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِرَاثَايِمَ. عَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ فَقُودَ. ٱخْرِبْ وَحَرِّمْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَٱفْعَلْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ. ٢١ 21
Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it, And to the inhabitants of Pekod, Dry up and devote their posterity,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do according to all that I have commanded you.
صَوْتُ حَرْبٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱنْحِطَامٌ عَظِيمٌ. ٢٢ 22
A noise of battle [is] in the land, And of great destruction.
كَيْفَ قُطِعَتْ وَتَحَطَّمَتْ مِطْرَقَةُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ كَيْفَ صَارَتْ بَابِلُ خَرِبَةً بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟ ٢٣ 23
How it has been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How Babylon has been for a desolation among nations!
قَدْ نَصَبْتُ لَكِ شَرَكًا، فَعَلِقْتِ يَا بَابِلُ، وَأَنْتِ لَمْ تَعْرِفِي! قَدْ وُجِدْتِ وَأُمْسِكْتِ لِأَنَّكِ قَدْ خَاصَمْتِ ٱلرَّبَّ. ٢٤ 24
I have laid a snare for you, And you are also captured, O Babylon, And you have known, You have been found, and are also caught, For you have stirred yourself up against YHWH.
فَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ خِزَانَتَهُ، وَأَخْرَجَ آلَاتِ رِجْزِهِ، لِأَنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَمَلًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٢٥ 25
YHWH has opened His treasury, And He brings out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans.
هَلُمَّ إِلَيْهَا مِنَ ٱلْأَقْصَى. ٱفْتَحُوا أَهْرَاءَهَا. كَوِّمُوهَا عِرَامًا، وَحَرِّمُوهَا وَلَا تَكُنْ لَهَا بَقِيَّةٌ. ٢٦ 26
Come in to her from the extremity, Open her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
أَهْلِكُوا كُلَّ عُجُولِهَا. لِتَنْزِلْ لِلذَّبْحِ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى يَوْمُهُمْ، زَمَانُ عِقَابِهِمْ. ٢٧ 27
Slay all her cows, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for their day has come, The time of their inspection.
صَوْتُ هَارِبِينَ وَنَاجِينَ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَابِلَ، لِيُخْبِرُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِنَقْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، نَقْمَةِ هَيْكَلِهِ. ٢٨ 28
A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of our God YHWH, The vengeance of His temple.
اُدْعُوا إِلَى بَابِلَ أَصْحَابَ ٱلْقِسِيِّ. لِيَنْزِلْ عَلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْزِعُ فِي ٱلْقَوْسِ حَوَالَيْهَا. لَا يَكُنْ نَاجٍ. كَافِئُوهَا نَظِيرَ عَمَلِهَا. ٱفْعَلُوا بِهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَتْ، لِأَنَّهَا بَغَتْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، عَلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٩ 29
Summon archers to Babylon, all treading the bow, Encamp against her all around, Let [her] have no escape; Repay to her according to her work, According to all that she did—do to her, For she has been proud against YHWH, Against the Holy One of Israel.
لِذَلِكَ يَسْقُطُ شُبَّانُهَا فِي ٱلشَّوَارِعِ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ حَرْبِهَا يَهْلِكُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٠ 30
Therefore her young men fall in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day,” A declaration of YHWH.
هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَاغِيَةُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَد أَتَى يَوْمُكِ حِينَ عِقَابِي إِيَّاكِ. ٣١ 31
“Behold, I [am] against you, O pride,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, “For your day has come, the time of your inspection.
فَيَعْثُرُ ٱلْبَاغِي وَيَسقُطُ ولَا يَكُونُ لَهُ مَنْ يُقِيمُهُ، وَأُشْعِلُ نَارًا في مُدُنِهِ فَتَأْكُلُ كُلَّ مَا حَوَالَيْهَا. ٣٢ 32
And pride has stumbled, And he has fallen, and has none raising up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it has devoured all around him.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا مَعًا مَظْلُومُونَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ أَمْسَكُوهُمْ. أَبَوْا أَنْ يُطْلِقُوهُمْ. ٣٣ 33
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
وَلِيُّهُمْ قَوِيٌّ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. يُقِيمُ دَعْوَاهُمْ لِكَيْ يُرِيحَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيُزْعِجَ سُكَّانَ بَابِلَ. ٣٤ 34
Their Redeemer [is] strong, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, He thoroughly pleads their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He has given trouble to the inhabitants of Babylon.
سَيْفٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ بَابِلَ، وَعَلَى رُؤَسَائِهَا، وَعَلَى حُكَمَائِهَا. ٣٥ 35
A sword [is] for the Chaldeans,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;
سَيْفٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُخَادِعِينَ، فَيَصِيرُونَ حُمُقًا. سَيْفٌ عَلَى أَبْطَالِهَا فَيَرْتَعِبُونَ. ٣٦ 36
A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
سَيْفٌ عَلَى خَيْلِهَا وَعَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱللَّفِيفِ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسْطِهَا، فَيَصِيرُونَ نِسَاءً. سَيْفٌ عَلَى خَزَائِنِهَا فَتُنْهَبُ. ٣٧ 37
A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
حَرٌّ عَلَى مِيَاهِهَا فَتَنْشَفُ، لِأَنَّهَا أَرْضُ مَنْحُوتَاتٍ هِيَ، وَبِٱلْأَصْنَامِ تُجَنُّ. ٣٨ 38
A sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of carved images, And they boast themselves in idols.
لِذَلِكَ تَسْكُنُ وُحُوشُ ٱلْقَفْرِ مَعَ بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَتَسْكُنُ فِيهَا رِعَالُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. ٣٩ 39
Therefore desert-dwellers dwell with howlers, Indeed, daughters of the ostrich have dwelt in her, And it is not inhabited anymore forever, Nor dwelt in from generation to generation.
كَقَلْبِ ٱللهِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمُجَاوَرَاتِهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلَا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ. ٤٠ 40
As the overthrow by God of Sodom, And of Gomorrah, and of its neighbors,” A declaration of YHWH, “None dwell there, Nor does a son of man sojourn in her.
هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، وَيُوقَظُ مُلُوكٌ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٤١ 41
Behold, a people has come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the earth.
يُمْسِكُونَ ٱلْقَوْسَ وَٱلرُّمْحَ. هُمْ قُسَاةٌ لَا يَرْحَمُونَ. صَوْتُهُمْ يَعِجُّ كَبَحْرٍ، وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ يَرْكَبُونَ، مُصْطَفِّينَ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَابِنْتَ بَابِلَ. ٤٢ 42
They seize bow and javelin, They [are] cruel, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, and they ride on horses, Set in array as a man for battle, Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
سَمِعَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ خَبَرَهُمْ فَٱرْتَخَتْ يَدَاهُ. أَخَذَتْهُ ٱلضِّيقَةُ وَٱلْوَجَعُ كَمَاخِضٍ. ٤٣ 43
The king of Babylon has heard their report, And his hands have been feeble, Distress has seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
هَا هُوَ يَصْعَدُ كَأَسَدٍ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى مَرْعًى دَائِمٍ. لِأَنِّي أَغْمِزُ وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ يَرْكُضُونَ عَنْهُ. فَمَنْ هُوَ مُنْتَخَبٌ فَأُقِيمَهُ عَلَيْهِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ مِثْلِي؟ وَمَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلَّذِي يَقِفُ أَمَامِي؟ ٤٤ 44
Behold, he comes up as a lion, Because of the rising of the Jordan, To the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? I lay a charge on her, For who [is] like Me? And who convenes Me? And who [is] this shepherd who stands before Me?
لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي قَضَى بِهَا عَلَى بَابِلَ، وَأَفْكَارَهُ ٱلَّتِي ٱفْتَكَرَ بِهَا عَلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ: إِنَّ صِغَارَ ٱلْغَنَمِ تَسْحَبُهُمْ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرِبُ مَسْكَنَهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ. ٤٥ 45
Therefore, hear the counsel of YHWH, That He counseled concerning Babylon, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make the habitation desolate over them?
مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ: أُخِذَتْ بَابِلُ. رَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَسُمِعَ صُرَاخٌ فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٤٦ 46
From the sound of Babylon having been captured, The earth has been shaken, And a cry has been heard among nations!”
