< إِرْمِيَا 50 >

ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَابِلَ وَعَنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عَلَى يَدِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ: ١ 1
The word which Yahweh spake Against Babylon Against the land of the Chaldeans, through 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
Tell ye among the nations And let it be heard And lift ye up a standard, Let it be heard do not conceal: Say ye—Captured is Babylon, Confounded is Bel, Broken in pieces is Merodach, Confounded are her images, Broken down her manufactured gods;
لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهَا أُمَّةٌ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ هِيَ تَجْعَلُ أَرْضَهَا خَرِبَةً فَلَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا سَاكِنٌ. مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ إِلَى حَيَوَانٍ هَرَبُوا وَذَهَبُوا. ٣ 3
For there hath come up against her—a nation out of the North The same, shall make her land an astonishment, And there shall be none to dwell therein, —Both man and beast, have removed—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, Declareth Yahweh, Shall the sons of Israel come in, They and the sons of Judah together: Weeping as they travel, so shall they journey on, And Yahweh their God, shall they seek;
يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، قَائِلِينَ: هَلُمَّ فَنَلْصَقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ بِعَهْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ لَا يُنْسَى. ٥ 5
To Zion, shall they ask the way, Hitherward, their faces, Come and let us join ourselves unto Yahweh, In a covenant age-abiding, which shall not be forgotten.
كَانَ شَعْبِي خِرَافًا ضَالَّةً، قَدْ أَضَلَّتْهُمْ رُعَاتُهُمْ. عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ أَتَاهُوهُمْ. سَارُوا مِنْ جَبَلٍ إِلَى أَكَمَةٍ. نَسُوا مَرْبَضَهُمْ. ٦ 6
Wandering sheep, have my people, been, Their own shepherds led them astray, On the mountains, they seduced them, From mountain to hill, have they gone, They have forgotten their couching-place.
كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ وَجَدُوهُمْ أَكَلُوهُمْ، وَقَالَ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ: لَا نُذْنِبُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، مَسْكِنِ ٱلْبِرِّ وَرَجَاءِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٧ 7
All who found them, devoured them, And, their adversaries, said—We shall not be, guilty, —Because they have sinned, Against, Yahweh the pasturage of righteousness, Yea the hope of their fathers—Yahweh.
اُهْرُبُوا مِنْ وَسْطِ بَابِلَ وَٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَكُونُوا مِثْلَ كَرَارِيِزَ أَمَامَ ٱلْغَنَمِ. ٨ 8
Remove ye out of the midst of Babylon, And out of the land of the Chaldeans, come ye forth, —And become ye like he-goats before the 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 lo! I am rousing and bringing up against Babylon a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured, —His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return empty.
وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ غَنِيمَةً. كُلُّ مُغْتَنِمِيهَا يَشْبَعُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٠ 10
So shall the Chaldeans become a spoil, —All her spoilers, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh;
لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ فَرِحْتُمْ وَشَمِتُّمْ يَا نَاهِبِي مِيرَاثِي، وَقَفَزْتُمْ كَعِجْلَةٍ فِي ٱلْكَلَإِ، وَصَهَلْتُمْ كَخَيْلٍ، ١١ 11
Because they used to be glad Because they used to be uproarious When plundering mine inheritance, —Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like bulls.
تَخْزَى أُمُّكُمْ جِدًّا. تَخْجَلُ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. هَا آخِرَةُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بَرِّيَّةٌ وَأَرْضٌ نَاشِفَةٌ وَقَفْرٌ. ١٢ 12
Your mother, hath turned very pale, She that bare you, hath turned red, —Lo! the last of nations, is—A desert, A parched land, and A waste plain,
بِسَبَبِ سَخَطِ ٱلرَّبِّ لَا تُسْكَنُ، بَلْ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً بِٱلتَّمَامِ. كُلُّ مَارٍّ بِبَابِلَ يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ ضَرَبَاتِهَا. ١٣ 13
Because of the vexation of Yahweh, she shall not be inhabited, But Shall become a complete desolation, —Every one passing by Babylon, shall be astonished and hiss, over 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 round about All ye who tread the bow, Shoot at her, do not spare so much as an arrow, —For against Yahweh, hath she sinned.
ٱهْتِفُوا عَلَيْهَا حَوَالَيْهَا. قَدْ أَعْطَتْ يَدَهَا. سَقَطَتْ أُسُسُهَا. نُقِضَتْ أَسْوَارُهَا. لِأَنَّهَا نَقْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ، فَٱنْقِمُوا مِنْهَا. كَمَا فَعَلَتِ ٱفْعَلُوا بِهَا. ١٥ 15
Raise a shout against her round about She hath stretched forth her hand, Fallen are her buttresses, Torn down are her walls, —Because, the avenging of Yahweh it is, Take ye vengeance upon her, As she hath done, do ye, unto 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 ye off the sower from Babylon, And him that graspeth the sickle in the time of harvest, From the face of the sword of the oppressor, Each, to his own people will they turn, and Each, to his own land will they flee.
«إِسْرَائِيلُ غَنَمٌ مُتَبَدِّدَةٌ. قَدْ طَرَدَتْهُ ٱلسِّبَاعُ. أَوَّلًا أَكَلَهُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، ثُمَّ هَذَا ٱلْأَخِيرُ، نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هَرَسَ عِظَامَهُ. ١٧ 17
A sheep all alone, is Israel Lions, have driven him away, —At the first, the king of Assyria devoured him, And here, at the last, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones!
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ وَأَرْضَهُ كَمَا عَاقَبْتُ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ. ١٨ 18
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing punishment against the king of Babylon, and against his land, —Just as I brought punishment against the king of Assyria.
وَأَرُدُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، فَيَرْعَى كَرْمَلَ وَبَاشَانَ، وَفِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَجِلْعَادَ تَشْبَعُ نَفْسُهُ. ١٩ 19
So will I bring back Israel unto his own pasture, And he shall feed upon Carmel and Bashan; And in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead, shall, his soul, be satisfied.
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 in that time, Declareth Yahweh, The iniquity of Israel, shall be sought, and there shall be none, And the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; For I will grant pardon to them whom I suffer to remain.
«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 thou up against her, And against the inhabitants of Pekod, —Lay waste and devote to destruction after them Declareth Yahweh, And do according to all which I have commanded thee.
صَوْتُ حَرْبٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱنْحِطَامٌ عَظِيمٌ. ٢٢ 22
The sound of battle is in the earth, —And a great destruction.
كَيْفَ قُطِعَتْ وَتَحَطَّمَتْ مِطْرَقَةُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ كَيْفَ صَارَتْ بَابِلُ خَرِبَةً بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ؟ ٢٣ 23
How is cut and broken the hammer of all the earth! How hath Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
قَدْ نَصَبْتُ لَكِ شَرَكًا، فَعَلِقْتِ يَا بَابِلُ، وَأَنْتِ لَمْ تَعْرِفِي! قَدْ وُجِدْتِ وَأُمْسِكْتِ لِأَنَّكِ قَدْ خَاصَمْتِ ٱلرَّبَّ. ٢٤ 24
I laid a snare for thee yea and thou wast captured O Babylon, when, thou wast not aware, —Thou wast found out yea and taken, For with Yahweh, hadst thou contended.
فَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ خِزَانَتَهُ، وَأَخْرَجَ آلَاتِ رِجْزِهِ، لِأَنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَمَلًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٢٥ 25
Yahweh opened his armoury, and brought out his weapons of indignation, —For, a work, it is pertaining to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans,
هَلُمَّ إِلَيْهَا مِنَ ٱلْأَقْصَى. ٱفْتَحُوا أَهْرَاءَهَا. كَوِّمُوهَا عِرَامًا، وَحَرِّمُوهَا وَلَا تَكُنْ لَهَا بَقِيَّةٌ. ٢٦ 26
Come ye against her from farthest parts, Throw open her granaries, Cast her up as heaps, and devote her to destruction, —Do not let her have a remnant.
أَهْلِكُوا كُلَّ عُجُولِهَا. لِتَنْزِلْ لِلذَّبْحِ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى يَوْمُهُمْ، زَمَانُ عِقَابِهِمْ. ٢٧ 27
Cut up all her bullocks, Let them go down to the slaughter, —Alas for them! For their day, hath come, Their time for punishment.
صَوْتُ هَارِبِينَ وَنَاجِينَ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَابِلَ، لِيُخْبِرُوا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِنَقْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، نَقْمَةِ هَيْكَلِهِ. ٢٨ 28
The voice Of them who are in flight and Of such as are escaping, out of the land of Babylon, —To tell in Zion The avenging of Yahweh our God, The avenging 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
Publish against Babylon ye chiefs of all who tread the bow—Encamp against her round about Let there be none to escape, Recompense to her according to her work, According to all which she did, do ye to her, —For Against Yahweh, hath she acted presumptuously, Against the Holy One of Israel.
لِذَلِكَ يَسْقُطُ شُبَّانُهَا فِي ٱلشَّوَارِعِ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ حَرْبِهَا يَهْلِكُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٠ 30
Therefore, shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, be silenced in that day, Declareth Yahweh.
هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَاغِيَةُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَد أَتَى يَوْمُكِ حِينَ عِقَابِي إِيَّاكِ. ٣١ 31
Behold me! against thee most insolent one, Declareth My Lord Yahweh of hosts; For thy day, hath come, Thy time for punishment;
فَيَعْثُرُ ٱلْبَاغِي وَيَسقُطُ ولَا يَكُونُ لَهُ مَنْ يُقِيمُهُ، وَأُشْعِلُ نَارًا في مُدُنِهِ فَتَأْكُلُ كُلَّ مَا حَوَالَيْهَا. ٣٢ 32
So shall the most insolent one stumble and fall, And he shall have none to lift him up, —And I will kindle a fire in his cities which shall devour all who are round about him.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَنِي يَهُوذَا مَعًا مَظْلُومُونَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ أَمْسَكُوهُمْ. أَبَوْا أَنْ يُطْلِقُوهُمْ. ٣٣ 33
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—Oppressed were the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, together, —And, all who took them captive, Held them fast Refused to let them go: —
وَلِيُّهُمْ قَوِيٌّ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. يُقِيمُ دَعْوَاهُمْ لِكَيْ يُرِيحَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيُزْعِجَ سُكَّانَ بَابِلَ. ٣٤ 34
Their Redeemer, can hold fast, Yahweh of hosts, is his name, He will, thoroughly plead, their plea, —That he may quiet the earth, And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
سَيْفٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ بَابِلَ، وَعَلَى رُؤَسَائِهَا، وَعَلَى حُكَمَائِهَا. ٣٥ 35
A sword, is over the Chaldeans, Declareth Yahweh, —And against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her princes, And against her wise men:
سَيْفٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُخَادِعِينَ، فَيَصِيرُونَ حُمُقًا. سَيْفٌ عَلَى أَبْطَالِهَا فَيَرْتَعِبُونَ. ٣٦ 36
A sword, is against the praters, And they shall be shewn to be foolish, A sword, is against her heroes And they shall be dismayed:
سَيْفٌ عَلَى خَيْلِهَا وَعَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱللَّفِيفِ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسْطِهَا، فَيَصِيرُونَ نِسَاءً. سَيْفٌ عَلَى خَزَائِنِهَا فَتُنْهَبُ. ٣٧ 37
A sword, is against his horses and against his chariots and, against all the rabble that are in her midst And they shall become women, —A sword, is against her treasures And they shall be made a prey:
حَرٌّ عَلَى مِيَاهِهَا فَتَنْشَفُ، لِأَنَّهَا أَرْضُ مَنْحُوتَاتٍ هِيَ، وَبِٱلْأَصْنَامِ تُجَنُّ. ٣٨ 38
A drought, is against her waters, And they shall be dried up, —For a land of images, it is, And with their shocking things, they act as men who are mad:
لِذَلِكَ تَسْكُنُ وُحُوشُ ٱلْقَفْرِ مَعَ بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَتَسْكُنُ فِيهَا رِعَالُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. ٣٩ 39
Therefore shall the criers dwell with, the howlers, Yea ostriches, shall dwell therein, —So shall it be dwelt in no more for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited unto generation after generation.
كَقَلْبِ ٱللهِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمُجَاوَرَاتِهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلَا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا ٱبْنُ آدَمَ. ٤٠ 40
Like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Declareth Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، وَيُوقَظُ مُلُوكٌ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٤١ 41
Lo! a people coming in from the North, —Yea, a great nation and many kings, shall be roused up out of the remote parts of the earth:
يُمْسِكُونَ ٱلْقَوْسَ وَٱلرُّمْحَ. هُمْ قُسَاةٌ لَا يَرْحَمُونَ. صَوْتُهُمْ يَعِجُّ كَبَحْرٍ، وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ يَرْكَبُونَ، مُصْطَفِّينَ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَابِنْتَ بَابِلَ. ٤٢ 42
Bow and javelin, shall they grasp, Cruel, are they and will not have compassion, Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And, on horses, will they ride, —Set in array, as one man for battle, Against thee, O daughter of Babylon!
سَمِعَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ خَبَرَهُمْ فَٱرْتَخَتْ يَدَاهُ. أَخَذَتْهُ ٱلضِّيقَةُ وَٱلْوَجَعُ كَمَاخِضٍ. ٤٣ 43
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, And unnerved are his hands, —Anguish, hath seized him, Writhing pain, as a woman in child-birth.
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
Lo! as a lion, shall he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, Unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make them run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom against it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand 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 ye, The counsel of Yahweh, which he hath counselled against Babylon, And his devices which he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans, —Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause the pasture to be astounded over them.
مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ: أُخِذَتْ بَابِلُ. رَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَسُمِعَ صُرَاخٌ فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٤٦ 46
At the noise of the taking of Babylon, the earth trembled, —And, the outcry, among the nations, was heard.
