< مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 3 >

أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي رأَى مَذَلَّةً بِقَضِيبِ سَخَطِهِ. ١ 1
I am the man that hath seen affliction under the rod of His wrath;
قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَا نُورَ. ٢ 2
He hath led me and brought me into darkness, and not into light;
حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٣ 3
Yea, against me doth he again and again turn his hand all the day long.
أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. كَسَّرَ عِظَامِي. ٤ 4
My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
بَنَى عَلَيَّ وَأَحَاطَنِي بِعَلْقَمٍ وَمَشَقَّةٍ. ٥ 5
He hath builded against me, and encompassed me with bitterness and woe.
أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. ٦ 6
He hath set me in dark places, as those that have long been dead.
سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. ٧ 7
He hath hedged me about, so that I cannot get out; he hath made my chain heavy;
أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. ٨ 8
Yea, when I cry and call aloud, he shutteth out my prayer.
سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. ٩ 9
He blocketh up my way with hewn stone; he maketh my paths crooked.
هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. ١٠ 10
A bear lying in wait hath he been to me, a lion in lurking-places.
مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. ١١ 11
He hath turned aside my ways, and torn me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي كَغَرَضٍ لِلسَّهْمِ. ١٢ 12
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
أَدْخَلَ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ نِبَالَ جُعْبَتِهِ. ١٣ 13
He hath caused the sons of his quiver to pierce my reins.
صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ١٤ 14
I have been a laughing-stock to all my people, their song all the day.
أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، ١٥ 15
He hath filled me with bitterness; he hath made me drunk with wormwood.
وَجَرَشَ بِٱلْحَصَى أَسْنَانِي. كَبَسَنِي بِٱلرَّمَادِ. ١٦ 16
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel-stones; He hath covered me with ashes.
وَقَدْ أَبْعَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسِي. نَسِيتُ ٱلْخَيْرَ. ١٧ 17
Yea, thou hast removed my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.
وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». ١٨ 18
And I say, “My confidence and my hope in Jehovah are gone!”
ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. ١٩ 19
Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall!
ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. ٢٠ 20
Yea, thou wilt remember them, for my soul sinketh within me!
أُرَدِّدُ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُو: ٢١ 21
This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope;
إِنَّهُ مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. ٢٢ 22
It is of the mercy of Jehovah that we are not consumed; yea, his compassion faileth not;
هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. كَثِيرَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. ٢٣ 23
It is new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
نَصِيبِي هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، قَالَتْ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ. ٢٤ 24
Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul, therefore do I hope in him.
طَيِّبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَهُ، لِلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّتِي تَطْلُبُهُ. ٢٥ 25
Jehovah is good to them that trust in him, to the soul that seeketh him.
جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
It is good that a man hope, and quietly wait for salvation from Jehovah.
جَيِّدٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ٱلنِّيرَ فِي صِبَاهُ. ٢٧ 27
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth;
يَجْلِسُ وَحْدَهُ وَيَسْكُتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ. ٢٨ 28
That he sit alone and keep silence, since He layeth it upon him;
يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. ٢٩ 29
That he put his mouth in the dust, [[saying to himself, ]] “Perhaps there may be hope!”
يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. ٣٠ 30
That he offer his cheek to the smiter; that he be filled with reproach.
لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٣١ 31
For the Lord will not cast off forever;
فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. ٣٢ 32
For though he cause grief, yet doth he have compassion according to his great mercy;
لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. ٣٣ 33
For he doth not willingly afflict and grieve the children of men.
أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٣٤ 34
Doth one trample under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٣٥ 35
Doth he bend the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
أَنْ يَقْلِبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٱلسَّيِّدُ لَا يَرَى! ٣٦ 36
Doth he subvert a man in his cause, and shall not the Lord behold it?
مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ ٣٧ 37
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord hath not commanded?
مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ ٣٨ 38
Cometh not evil, as well as good, from the mouth of the Most High?
لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ ٣٩ 39
Wherefore then murmureth the living man? Let him murmur at his own sin!
لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤٠ 40
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah!
لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: ٤١ 41
Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens!
«نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. ٤٢ 42
We have transgressed; we have rebelled; thou hast not forgiven!
ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. ٤٣ 43
Thou hast hidden thyself in anger, and hast pursued us; thou hast slain and hast not spared;
ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. ٤٤ 44
Thou hast hidden thyself in a cloud, that our prayer may not pass through;
جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٤٥ 45
Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the nations.
فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. ٤٦ 46
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us;
صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». ٤٧ 47
Terror and the pit have come upon us, desolation and destruction;
سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. ٤٨ 48
Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ ٤٩ 49
Mine eye trickleth down and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٥٠ 50
Until Jehovah look down and behold from heaven.
عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. ٥١ 51
Mine eye is painful to me on account of all the daughters of my city.
قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٥٢ 52
They that are my enemies without cause hunt me down like a bird;
قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. ٥٣ 53
They take away my life in the dungeon; they cast a stone upon me;
طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». ٥٤ 54
Waters flow over my head; I say, “I am undone!”
دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. ٥٥ 55
I call upon thy name, O Jehovah, from the deep dungeon;
لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». ٥٦ 56
Hear thou my voice! hide not thine ear from my cry for relief!
دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». ٥٧ 57
Be near to me, when I call upon thee! Say, “Fear not!”
خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. ٥٨ 58
Thou maintainest my cause, O Lord; thou redeemest my life!
رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. ٥٩ 59
Thou, O Jehovah, seest the wrong done to me; Maintain thou my cause!
رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. ٦٠ 60
Thou seest all their vengeance, all their devices against me.
سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. ٦١ 61
Thou hearest their reproach, O Jehovah, all their devices against me,
كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٦٢ 62
The words of my adversaries, and their machinations against me all the day long!
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! ٦٣ 63
Behold their sitting down and their rising up! I am their song.
رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. ٦٤ 64
Render to them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands!
أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. ٦٥ 65
Give them blindness of mind! thy curse be upon them!
اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٦٦ 66
Pursue them in thine anger, and destroy them from under Jehovah's heaven!
