< مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 3 >

أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي رأَى مَذَلَّةً بِقَضِيبِ سَخَطِهِ. ١ 1
ALEPH. I am the man that sees poverty, through the rod of his wrath upon me.
قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَا نُورَ. ٢ 2
He has taken me, and led me away into darkness, and not [into] light.
حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٣ 3
Nay, against me has he turned his hand all the day.
أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. كَسَّرَ عِظَامِي. ٤ 4
He has made old my flesh and my skin; he has broken my bones.
بَنَى عَلَيَّ وَأَحَاطَنِي بِعَلْقَمٍ وَمَشَقَّةٍ. ٥ 5
BETH. He has built against me, and compassed my head, and brought travail [upon me].
أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. ٦ 6
He has set me in dark places, as them that have long been dead.
سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. ٧ 7
He has builded against me, and I can’t come forth: he has made my brazen [chain] heavy.
أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. ٨ 8
GIMEL. Yes, [though] I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. ٩ 9
DALETH. He has built up my ways, he has hedged my paths;
هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. ١٠ 10
he has troubled me, [as] a she-bear lying in wait: he is to me [as] a lion in secret places.
مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. ١١ 11
He pursued [me] after I departed, and brought me to a stand: he has utterly ruined me.
مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي كَغَرَضٍ لِلسَّهْمِ. ١٢ 12
HE. He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
أَدْخَلَ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ نِبَالَ جُعْبَتِهِ. ١٣ 13
He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ١٤ 14
I became a laughing stock to all my people; and their song all the day.
أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، ١٥ 15
VAU. He has filled me with bitterness, he has drenched me with gall.
وَجَرَشَ بِٱلْحَصَى أَسْنَانِي. كَبَسَنِي بِٱلرَّمَادِ. ١٦ 16
And he has dashed out my teeth with gravel, he has fed me with ashes.
وَقَدْ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسِي. نَسِيتُ ٱلْخَيْرَ. ١٧ 17
He has also removed my soul from peace: I forgot prosperity.
وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». ١٨ 18
Therefore my success has perished, and my hope from the Lord.
ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. ١٩ 19
ZAIN. I remembered by reason of my poverty, and because of persecution my bitterness and gall shall be remembered;
ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. ٢٠ 20
and my soul shall meditate with me.
أُرَدِّدُ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُو: ٢١ 21
This will I lay up in my heart, therefore I will endure.
إِنَّهُ مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. ٢٢ 22
HETH. [It is] the mercies of the Lord, that he has not failed me, because his compassions are not exhausted. Pity [us], O Lord, early [every] month: for we are not brought to an end, because his compassions are not exhausted.
هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. كَثِيرَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. ٢٣ 23
[They are] new every morning: great is your faithfulness.
نَصِيبِي هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، قَالَتْ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ. ٢٤ 24
The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for him.
طَيِّبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَهُ، لِلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّتِي تَطْلُبُهُ. ٢٥ 25
TETH. The Lord is good to them that wait for him: the soul which shall seek him
جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
[is] good, and shall wait for, and quietly expect salvation of the Lord.
جَيِّدٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ٱلنِّيرَ فِي صِبَاهُ. ٢٧ 27
TETH. [It is] good for a man when he bears a yoke in his youth.
يَجْلِسُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَسْكُتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ. ٢٨ 28
He will sit alone, and be silent, because he has borne [it] upon him.
يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. ٢٩ 29
يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. ٣٠ 30
JOD. He will give [his] cheek to him that smites him: he will be filled full with reproaches.
لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٣١ 31
For the Lord will not reject for ever.
فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. ٣٢ 32
CHAPH. For he that has brought down will pity, and [that] according to the abundance of his mercy.
لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. ٣٣ 33
He has not answered [in anger] from his heart, though he has brought low the children of a man.
أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٣٤ 34
LAMED. To bring down under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٣٥ 35
to turn aside the judgement of a man before the face of the Most High,
أَنْ يَقْلِبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٱلسَّيِّدُ لَا يَرَى! ٣٦ 36
to condemn a man [unjustly] in his judgement, the Lord has not given commandment.
مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ ٣٧ 37
Who has thus spoken, and it has come to pass? the Lord has not commanded it.
مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ ٣٨ 38
Out of the mouth of the Most High there shall not come forth evil and good.
لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ ٣٩ 39
MEM. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin?
لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤٠ 40
NUN. Our way has been searched out and examined, and we will turn to the Lord.
لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: ٤١ 41
Let us lift up our hearts with [our] hand to the lofty One in heaven.
«نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. ٤٢ 42
We have sinned, we have transgressed; and you have not pardoned.
ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. ٤٣ 43
SAMECH. You has visited [us] in wrath, and driven us away: you has slain, you has not pitied.
ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. ٤٤ 44
You have veiled yourself with a cloud because of prayer, that I might be blind,
جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٤٥ 45
and be cast off. AIN. You have set us [alone] in the midst of the nations.
فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. ٤٦ 46
All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». ٤٧ 47
Fear and wrath are come upon us, suspense and destruction.
سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. ٤٨ 48
Mine eye shall pour down torrents of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ ٤٩ 49
PHE. Mine eye is drowned [with tears], and I will not be silent, so that there shall be no rest,
حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٥٠ 50
until the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. ٥١ 51
Mine eye shall prey upon my soul, because of all the daughters of the city.
قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٥٢ 52
TSADE. The fowlers chased me as a sparrow, all mine enemies destroyed my life in a pit without cause,
قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. ٥٣ 53
and laid a stone upon me.
طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». ٥٤ 54
Water flowed over my head: I said, I am cut off.
دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. ٥٥ 55
KOPH. I called upon your name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.
لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». ٥٦ 56
You heard my voice: close not your ears to my supplication.
دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». ٥٧ 57
You drew near to my help: in the day wherein I called upon you you said to me, Fear not.
خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. ٥٨ 58
RECHS. O Lord, you has pleaded the causes of my soul; you has redeemed my life.
رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. ٥٩ 59
You have seen, O Lord, my troubles: you have judged my cause.
رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. ٦٠ 60
You have seen all their vengeance, [you have looked] on all their devices against me.
سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. ٦١ 61
CHSEN. You have heard their reproach [and] all their devices against me;
كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٦٢ 62
the lips of them that rose up against me, and their plots against me all the day;
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! ٦٣ 63
their sitting down and their rising up: look you upon their eyes.
رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. ٦٤ 64
You will render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands.
أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. ٦٥ 65
THAU. You will give them [as] a covering, the grief of my heart.
اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٦٦ 66
You will persecute them in anger, and will consume them from under the heaven, O Lord.
