< إِرْمِيَا 6 >

«اُهْرُبُوا يَا بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ مِنْ وَسْطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي تَقُوعَ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ هَكَّارِيمَ ٱرْفَعُوا عَلَمَ نَارٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ أَشْرَفَ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَكَسْرٌ عَظِيمٌ. ١ 1
Find safety, people of Benjamin, by leaving Jerusalem. Blow a trumpet in Tekoa. Raise up over Beth Hakkerem a signal, since wickedness is appearing from the north; a great crushing is coming.
اَلْجَمِيلَةُ ٱللَّطِيفَةُ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ أُهْلِكُهَا. ٢ 2
The daughter of Zion, the beautiful and delicate woman, will be destroyed.
إِلَيْهَا تَأْتِي ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَقُطْعَانُهُمْ. يَنْصِبُونَ عِنْدَهَا خِيَامًا حَوَالَيْهَا. يَرْعَوْنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ». ٣ 3
The shepherds and their flocks will go to them; they will set up tents against her all around; each man will shepherd with his own hand.
«قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا حَرْبًا. قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ في ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّهَارَ مَالَ، لِأَنَّ ظِلَالَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ ٱمْتَدَّتْ. ٤ 4
“Dedicate yourselves to the gods for the battle. Arise, let us attack at noon. It is too bad that the daylight is fading away, that the evening shadows are falling.
قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ في ٱللَّيْلِ وَنَهْدِمَ قُصُورَهَا». ٥ 5
But let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses.”
«لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱقْطَعُوا أَشْجَارًا. أَقِيمُوا حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِتْرَسَةً. هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْمُعَاقَبَةُ. كُلُّهَا ظُلْمٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا. ٦ 6
For Yahweh of hosts says this: Cut her trees, and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem. This is the right city to attack, because it is filled with oppression.
كَمَا تُنْبِعُ ٱلْعَيْنُ مِيَاهَهَا، هَكَذَا تُنْبِعُ هِيَ شَرَّهَا. ظُلْمٌ وَخَطْفٌ يُسْمَعُ فِيهَا. أَمَامِي دَائِمًا مَرَضٌ وَضَرْبٌ. ٧ 7
As a well pours out fresh water, so this city keeps producing wickedness. Violence and disorder are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before my face.
تَأَدَّبِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ لِئَلَّا تَجْفُوَكِ نَفْسِي. لِئَلَّا أَجْعَلَكِ خَرَابًا، أَرْضًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ. ٨ 8
Accept discipline, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make you into a ruin, an uninhabited land.'”
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: تَعْلِيلًا يُعَلِّلُونَ، كَجَفْنَةٍ، بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. رُدَّ يَدَكَ كَقَاطِفٍ إِلَى ٱلسِّلَالِ. ٩ 9
Yahweh of hosts says this, “They will certainly glean those who are left in Israel like a vineyard. Reach out again with your hand to pick grapes from the vines.
مَنْ أُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَأُنْذِرُهُمْ فَيَسْمَعُوا؟ هَا إِنَّ أُذْنَهُمْ غَلْفَاءُ فَلَا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَصْغَوْا. هَا إِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَتْ لَهُمْ عَارًا. لَا يُسَرُّونَ بِهَا. ١٠ 10
To whom should I declare and warn so they will listen? Look! Their ears are uncircumcised; they are not able to pay attention! Look! The word of Yahweh has come to them to correct them, but they do not want it.”
فَٱمْتَلَأْتُ مِنْ غَيْظِ ٱلرَّبِّ. مَلِلْتُ ٱلطَّاقَةَ. أَسْكُبُهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَطْفَالِ فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ وَعَلَى مَجْلِسِ ٱلشُّبَّانِ مَعًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ يُؤْخَذَانِ كِلَاهُمَا، وَٱلشَّيْخَ مَعَ ٱلْمُمْتَلِئِ أَيَّامًا. ١١ 11
But I am filled with Yahweh's fury. I am tired of holding it in. He said, to me, “Pour it out on the children in the streets and on the groups of young men. For every man will be taken away with his wife; and every old person heavy with years.
وَتَتَحَوَّلُ بُيُوتُهُمْ إِلَى آخَرِينَ، ٱلْحُقُولُ وَٱلنِّسَاءُ مَعًا، لِأَنِّي أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٢ 12
Their houses will be turned over to others, both their fields and their wives together. For I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand—this is Yahweh's declaration.
لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مُولَعٌ بِٱلرِّبْحِ. وَمِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. ١٣ 13
Yahweh declares that from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
وَيَشْفُونَ كَسْرَ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي عَلَى عَثَمٍ قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ، سَلَامٌ. وَلَا سَلَامَ. ١٤ 14
They have healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, Peace,' when there is no peace.
هَلْ خَزُوا لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا رِجْسًا؟ بَلْ لَمْ يَخْزَوْا خِزْيًا وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلْخَجَلَ. لِذَلِكَ يَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّاقِطِينَ. فِي وَقْتِ مُعَاقَبَتِهِمْ يَعْثُرُونَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٥ 15
Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قِفُوا عَلَى ٱلطُّرُقِ وَٱنْظُرُوا، وَٱسْأَلُوا عَنِ ٱلسُّبُلِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ: أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ ٱلصَّالِحُ؟ وَسِيرُوا فِيهِ، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: لَا نَسِيرُ فِيهِ! ١٦ 16
Yahweh says this, “Stand at the road crossing and look; ask for the ancient pathways. 'Where is this good way?' Then go on it and find a resting place for yourselves. But the people say, 'We will not go.'
وَأَقَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُقَبَاءَ قَائِلِينَ: ٱصْغَوْا لِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ. فَقَالُوا: لَا نَصْغَى! ١٧ 17
I appointed for you watchmen to listen for the trumpet. But they said, 'We will not listen.'
لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعُوا يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ، وَٱعْرِفِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ مَا هُوَ بَيْنَهُمْ. ١٨ 18
Therefore, nations, listen! See, you witnesses, what will happen to them.
اِسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ثَمَرَ أَفْكَارِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَصْغَوْا لِكَلَامِي، وَشَرِيعَتِي رَفَضُوهَا. ١٩ 19
Hear, earth! See, I am about to bring disaster to this people—the fruit of their thoughts. They paid no attention to my word or law, but they instead rejected it.”
لِمَاذَا يَأْتِي لِي ٱللُّبَانُ مِنْ شَبَا، وَقَصَبُ ٱلذَّرِيرَةِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ؟ مُحْرَقَاتُكُمْ غَيْرُ مَقْبُولَةٍ، وَذَبَائِحُكُمْ لَا تَلُذُّ لِي. ٢٠ 20
“What does this frankincense going up from Sheba mean to me? Or these sweet smells from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable to me, nor are your sacrifices.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا جَاعِلٌ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مَعْثَرَاتٍ فَيَعْثُرُ بِهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ وَٱلْأَبْنَاءُ مَعًا. اَلْجَارُ وَصَاحِبُهُ يَبِيدَانِ. ٢١ 21
So Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to place a stumbling block against this people. They will stumble over it—fathers and sons together. Inhabitants and their neighbors will also perish.'
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ قَادِمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَقُومُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٢ 22
Yahweh says this, 'See, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
تُمْسِكُ ٱلْقَوْسَ وَٱلرُّمْحَ. هِيَ قَاسِيَةٌ لَا تَرْحَمُ. صَوْتُهَا كَٱلْبَحْرِ يَعِجُّ، وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ تَرْكَبُ، مُصْطَفَّةً كَإِنْسَانٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ». ٢٣ 23
They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'”
سَمِعْنَا خَبَرَهَا. اِرْتَخَتْ أَيْدِينَا. أَمْسَكَنَا ضِيقٌ وَوَجَعٌ كَٱلْمَاخِضِ. ٢٤ 24
We have heard the reports about them and our hands fall limp in distress. Anguish seizes us as a woman giving birth.
لَا تَخْرُجُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ وَفِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ لَا تَمْشُوا، لِأَنَّ سَيْفَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ خَوْفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. ٢٥ 25
Do not go out to the fields, and do not walk on the roads, for the swords of the enemy and terror are all around.
يَا ٱبْنَةَ شَعْبِي، تَنَطَّقِي بِمِسْحٍ وَتَمَرَّغِي فِي ٱلرَّمَادِ. نَوْحَ وَحِيدٍ ٱصْنَعِي لِنَفْسِكِ مَنَاحَةً مُرَّةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُخَرِّبَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا بَغْتَةً. ٢٦ 26
Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with painful sobs as for an only son, for the destroyer will suddenly come upon us.
«قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ بُرْجًا فِي شَعْبِي، حِصْنًا، لِتَعْرِفَ وَتَمْتَحِنَ طَرِيقَهُمْ. ٢٧ 27
“I have made you, Jeremiah, one who tests my people like one would test metal, so you will inspect and test their ways.
كُلُّهُمْ عُصَاةٌ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ سَاعُونَ فِي ٱلْوِشَايَةِ. هُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَحَدِيدٌ. كُلُّهُمْ مُفْسِدُونَ. ٢٨ 28
They are all the most stubborn of people, who go about slandering others. All of them are bronze and iron, acting corruptly.
اِحْتَرَقَ ٱلْمِنْفَاخُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ. فَنِيَ ٱلرِّصَاصُ. بَاطِلًا صَاغَ ٱلصَّائِغُ، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَا يُفْرَزُونَ. ٢٩ 29
The bellows are scorched by the fire that is burning them; the lead is consumed in the flames. The refining continues among them, but it is useless, because the evil is not removed.
فِضَّةً مَرْفُوضَةً يُدْعَوْنَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمْ». ٣٠ 30
They will be called rejected silver, for Yahweh has rejected them.”
