< مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 3 >

أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي رأَى مَذَلَّةً بِقَضِيبِ سَخَطِهِ. ١ 1
I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَا نُورَ. ٢ 2
He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness and not in light.
حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَعُودُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ يَدَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٣ 3
Surely against me he turneth his hand again and again all the day.
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 compassed me with gall and travail.
أَسْكَنَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ كَمَوْتَى ٱلْقِدَمِ. ٦ 6
He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
سَيَّجَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ. ثَقَّلَ سِلْسِلَتِي. ٧ 7
He hath fenced me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.
أَيْضًا حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلَاتِي. ٨ 8
Yea, when I cry and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.
سَيَّجَ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَلَبَ سُبُلِي. ٩ 9
He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
هُوَ لِي دُبٌّ كَامِنٌ، أَسَدٌ فِي مَخَابِىءَ. ١٠ 10
He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
مَيَّلَ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي. جَعَلَنِي خَرَابًا. ١١ 11
He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled 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 shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.
صِرْتُ ضُحْكَةً لِكُلِّ شَعْبِي، وَأُغْنِيَةً لَهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ١٤ 14
I am become a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَائِرَ وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينًا، ١٥ 15
He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me 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
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity.
وَقُلْتُ: «بَادَتْ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ». ١٨ 18
And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the LORD.
ذِكْرُ مَذَلَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي أَفْسَنْتِينٌ وَعَلْقَمٌ. ١٩ 19
Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ. ٢٠ 20
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down 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 LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. كَثِيرَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. ٢٣ 23
They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
نَصِيبِي هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، قَالَتْ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ. ٢٤ 24
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
طَيِّبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَهُ، لِلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّتِي تَطْلُبُهُ. ٢٥ 25
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
جَيِّدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيَتَوَقَّعَ بِسُكُوتٍ خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
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
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.
يَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فَمَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. ٢٩ 29
Let him put his mouth in the dust; if so be there may he hope.
يُعْطِي خَدَّهُ لِضَارِبِهِ. يَشْبَعُ عَارًا. ٣٠ 30
Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.
لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ لَا يَرْفُضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٣١ 31
For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْحَمُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِهِ. ٣٢ 32
For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُذِلُّ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، وَلَا يُحْزِنُ بَنِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. ٣٣ 33
For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
أَنْ يَدُوسَ أَحَدٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُلَّ أَسْرَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٣٤ 34
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
أَنْ يُحَرِّفَ حَقَّ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٣٥ 35
To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
أَنْ يَقْلِبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٱلسَّيِّدُ لَا يَرَى! ٣٦ 36
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
مَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ فَيَكُونَ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ؟ ٣٧ 37
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ ٱلشُّرُورُ وَٱلْخَيْرُ؟ ٣٨ 38
Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?
لِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْحَيُّ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ قِصَاصِ خَطَايَاهُ؟ ٣٩ 39
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَمْتَحِنْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤٠ 40
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ: ٤١ 41
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
«نَحْنُ أَذْنَبْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا. أَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. ٤٢ 42
We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.
ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَطَرَدْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ وَلَمْ تَشْفِقْ. ٤٣ 43
Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
ٱلْتَحَفْتَ بِٱلسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَنْفُذَ ٱلصَّلَاةُ. ٤٤ 44
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
جَعَلْتَنَا وَسَخًا وَكَرْهًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. ٤٥ 45
Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
فَتَحَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا. ٤٦ 46
all our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
صَارَ عَلَيْنَا خَوْفٌ وَرُعْبٌ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ». ٤٧ 47
Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and destruction.
سَكَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ عَلَى سَحْقِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي. ٤٨ 48
Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
عَيْنِي تَسْكُبُ وَلَا تَكُفُّ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ ٤٩ 49
Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ وَيَنْظُرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٥٠ 50
Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
عَيْنِي تُؤَثِّرُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. ٥١ 51
Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
قَدِ ٱصْطَادَتْنِي أَعْدَائِي كَعُصْفُورٍ بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٥٢ 52
They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause.
قَرَضُوا فِي ٱلْجُبِّ حَيَاتِي وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةً. ٥٣ 53
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.
طَفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. قُلْتُ: «قَدْ قُرِضْتُ!». ٥٤ 54
Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I am cut off.
دَعَوْتُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ. ٥٥ 55
I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
لِصَوْتِي سَمِعْتَ: «لَا تَسْتُرْ أُذُنَكَ عَنْ زَفْرَتِي، عَنْ صِيَاحِي». ٥٦ 56
Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
دَنَوْتَ يَوْمَ دَعَوْتُكَ. قُلْتَ: «لَا تَخَفْ!». ٥٧ 57
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
خَاصَمْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ خُصُومَاتِ نَفْسِي. فَكَكْتَ حَيَاتِي. ٥٨ 58
O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ ظُلْمِي. أَقِمْ دَعْوَايَ. ٥٩ 59
O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause.
رَأَيْتَ كُلَّ نَقْمَتِهِمْ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. ٦٠ 60
Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَارَبُّ، كُلَّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. ٦١ 61
Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their devices against me;
كَلَامُ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَمُؤَامَرَتُهُمْ عَلَيَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٦٢ 62
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their imagination against me all the day.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى جُلُوسِهِمْ وَوُقُوفِهِمْ، أَنَا أُغْنِيَتُهُمْ! ٦٣ 63
Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
رُدَّ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً يَارَبُّ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ أَيَادِيهِمْ. ٦٤ 64
Thou wilt render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
أَعْطِهِمْ غِشَاوَةَ قَلْبٍ، لَعْنَتَكَ لَهُمْ. ٦٥ 65
Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them.
اِتْبَعْ بِٱلْغَضَبِ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٦٦ 66
Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
