< إِرْمِيَا 9 >

يَا لَيْتَ رَأْسِي مَاءٌ، وَعَيْنَيَّ يَنْبُوعُ دُمُوعٍ، فَأَبْكِيَ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا قَتْلَى بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. ١ 1
Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
يَا لَيْتَ لِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مَبِيتَ مُسَافِرِينَ، فَأَتْرُكَ شَعْبِي وَأَنْطَلِقَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا زُنَاةٌ، جَمَاعَةُ خَائِنِينَ. ٢ 2
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
«يَمُدُّونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَقِسِيِّهِمْ لِلْكَذِبِ. لَا لِلْحَقِّ قَوُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. لِأَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ شَرٍّ إِلَى شَرٍّ، وَإِيَّايَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, says the LORD.
اِحْتَرِزُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَخٍ لَا تَتَّكِلُوا، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ أَخٍ يَعْقِبُ عَقِبًا، وَكُلَّ صَاحِبٍ يَسْعَى فِي ٱلْوِشَايَةِ. ٤ 4
Take you heed every one of his neighbor, and trust you not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders.
وَيَخْتِلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ صَاحِبَهُ وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ. عَلَّمُوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمُ ٱلتَّكَلُّمَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَتَعِبُوا فِي ٱلِٱفْتِرَاءِ. ٥ 5
And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
مَسْكَنُكَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمَكْرِ. بِٱلْمَكْرِ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَعْرِفُونِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٦ 6
Your habitation is in the middle of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says the LORD.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هَأَنَذَا أُنَقِّيهِمْ وَأَمْتَحِنُهُمْ. لِأَنِّي مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي؟ ٧ 7
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
لِسَانُهُمْ سَهْمٌ قَتَّالٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلْغِشِّ. بِفَمِهِ يُكَلِّمُ صَاحِبَهُ بِسَلَامٍ، وَفِي قَلْبِهِ يَضَعُ لَهُ كَمِينًا. ٨ 8
Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he lays his wait.
أَفَمَا أُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَمْ لَا تَنْتَقِمُ نَفْسِي مِنْ أُمَّةٍ كَهَذِهِ؟». ٩ 9
Shall I not visit them for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ أَرْفَعُ بُكَاءً وَمَرْثَاةً، وَعَلَى مَرَاعِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ نَدْبًا، لِأَنَّهَا ٱحْتَرَقَتْ، فَلَا إِنْسَانَ عَابِرٌ وَلَا يُسْمَعُ صَوْتُ ٱلْمَاشِيَةِ. مِنْ طَيْرِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ هَرَبَتْ مَضَتْ. ١٠ 10
For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
«وَأَجْعَلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ رُجَمًا وَمَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا أَجْعَلُهَا خَرَابًا بِلَا سَاكِنٍ». ١١ 11
And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلَّذِي يَفْهَمُ هَذِهِ، وَٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ فَمُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيُخْبِرَ بِهَا؟ لِمَاذَا بَادَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱحْتَرَقَتْ كَبَرِّيَّةٍ بِلَا عَابِرٍ؟ ١٢ 12
Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perishes and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «عَلَى تَرْكِهِمْ شَرِيعَتِي ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا بِهَا. ١٣ 13
And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
بَلْ سَلَكُوا وَرَاءَ عِنَادِ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَوَرَاءَ ٱلْبَعْلِيمِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَّمَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ. ١٤ 14
But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُطْعِمُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ أَفْسَنْتِينًا وَأَسْقِيهِمْ مَاءَ ٱلْعَلْقَمِ، ١٥ 15
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي أُمَمٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا هُمْ وَلَا آبَاؤُهُمْ، وَأُطْلِقُ وَرَاءَهُمُ ٱلسَّيْفَ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ. ١٦ 16
I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: تَأَمَّلُوا وَٱدْعُوا ٱلنَّادِبَاتِ فَيَأْتِينَ، وَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَكِيمَاتِ فَيُقْبِلْنَ ١٧ 17
Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
وَيُسْرِعْنَ وَيَرْفَعْنَ عَلَيْنَا مَرْثَاةً، فَتَذْرِفَ أَعْيُنُنَا دُمُوعًا وَتَفِيضَ أَجْفَانُنَا مَاءً. ١٨ 18
And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
لِأَنَّ صَوْتَ رِثَايَةٍ سُمِعَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ: كَيْفَ أُهْلِكْنَا؟ خَزِينَا جِدًّا لِأَنَّنَا تَرَكْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَمُوا مَسَاكِنَنَا». ١٩ 19
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
بَلِ ٱسْمَعْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلْتَقْبَلْ آذَانُكُنَّ كَلِمَةَ فَمِهِ، وَعَلِّمْنَ بَنَاتِكُنَّ ٱلرِّثَايَةَ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ صَاحِبَتَهَا ٱلنَّدْبَ! ٢٠ 20
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَ طَلَعَ إِلَى كُوَانَا، دَخَلَ قُصُورَنَا لِيَقْطَعَ ٱلْأَطْفَالَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، وَٱلشُّبَّانَ مِنَ ٱلسَّاحَاتِ. ٢١ 21
For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
تَكَلَّمَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَتَسْقُطُ جُثَّةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ كَدِمْنَةٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَكَقَبْضَةٍ وَرَاءَ ٱلْحَاصِدِ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ! ٢٢ 22
Speak, Thus says the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا يَفْتَخِرَنَّ ٱلْحَكِيمُ بِحِكْمَتِهِ، وَلَا يَفْتَخِرِ ٱلْجَبَّارُ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ، وَلَا يَفْتَخِرِ ٱلْغَنِيُّ بِغِنَاهُ. ٢٣ 23
Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
بَلْ بِهَذَا لِيَفْتَخِرَنَّ ٱلْمُفْتَخِرُ: بِأَنَّهُ يَفْهَمُ وَيَعْرِفُنِي أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً وَقَضَاءً وَعَدْلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنِّي بِهَذِهِ أُسَرُّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٤ 24
But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.
«هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ مَخْتُونٍ وَأَغْلَفَ. ٢٥ 25
Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
مِصْرَ وَيَهُوذَا وَأَدُومَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَمُوآبَ، وَكُلَّ مَقْصُوصِي ٱلشَّعْرِ مُسْتَدِيرًا ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ غُلْفٌ، وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ غُلْفُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ». ٢٦ 26
Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
