< مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 5 >
اُذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ مَاذَا صَارَ لَنَا. أَشْرِفْ وَٱنْظُرْ إِلَى عَارِنَا. | ١ 1 |
Remember, O Lord, what hath occurred to us, look down, and behold our disgrace.
قَدْ صَارَ مِيرَاثُنَا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ. بُيُوتُنَا لِلْأَجَانِبِ. | ٢ 2 |
Our inheritance is turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
صِرْنَا أَيْتَامًا بِلَا أَبٍ. أُمَّهَاتُنَا كَأَرَامِلَ. | ٣ 3 |
Orphans are we become, and [we are] without a father, our mothers are like widows.
شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ. حَطَبُنَا بِٱلثَّمَنِ يَأْتِي. | ٤ 4 |
Our water have we drunk for money: our wood cometh to us for a purchase price.
عَلَى أَعْنَاقِنَا نُضْطَهَدُ. نَتْعَبُ وَلَا رَاحَةَ لَنَا. | ٥ 5 |
Up to our necks are we pursued: we are fatigued, and no rest is allowed us.
أَعْطَيْنَا ٱلْيَدَ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَشُّورِيِّينَ لِنَشْبَعَ خُبْزًا. | ٦ 6 |
To Egypt do we stretch out our hand, to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
آبَاؤُنَا أَخْطَأُوا وَلَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ، وَنَحْنُ نَحْمِلُ آثَامَهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Our fathers have sinned, and are no more; but we have indeed to bear their iniquities.
عَبِيدٌ حَكَمُوا عَلَيْنَا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Servants rule over us: no one delivereth us out of their hand.
بِأَنْفُسِنَا نَأْتِي بِخُبْزِنَا مِنْ جَرَى سَيْفِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
At the peril of our life must we bring home our bread, because of the sword of the wilderness.
جُلُودُنَا ٱسْوَدَّتْ كَتَنُّورٍ مِنْ جَرَى نِيرَانِ ٱلْجُوعِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Our skin gloweth like an oven, because of the heat of famine.
أَذَلُّوا ٱلنِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱلْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١١ 11 |
Women have they ravished in Zion, virgins, in the cities of Judah.
ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ يُعَلَّقُونَ، وَلَمْ تُعْتَبَرْ وُجُوهُ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Princes were hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored.
أَخَذُوا ٱلشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَٱلصِّبْيَانَ عَثَرُوا تَحْتَ ٱلْحَطَبِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Young men they bore to the mill, and boys stumbled under the wood.
كَفَّتِ ٱلشُّيُوخُ عَنِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
The elders have ceased from the gate, young men, from their singing.
مَضَى فَرَحُ قَلْبِنَا. صَارَ رَقْصُنَا نَوْحًا. | ١٥ 15 |
Ceased hath the joy of our heart: our dance is changed into mourning.
سَقَطَ إِكْلِيلُ رَأْسِنَا. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا. | ١٦ 16 |
Fallen is the crown of our head: woe to us, for we have sinned.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا حَزِنَ قَلْبُنَا. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذِهِ أَظْلَمَتْ عُيُونُنَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Because of this is our heart made sick; for these things are our eyes dimmed;
مِنْ أَجْلِ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلْخَرِبِ. ٱلثَّعَالِبُ مَاشِيَةٌ فِيهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Because of the mount of Zion which is wasted, foxes walk about on it.
أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ تَجْلِسُ. كُرْسِيُّكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
O thou, Lord, wilt truly abide for ever, thy throne existeth throughout all generations.
لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Wherefore wilt thou forget us for ever! wilt thou forsake us for so long a time?
اُرْدُدْنَا يَارَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْتَدَّ. جَدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَٱلْقَدِيمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Cause us to return, O Lord, unto thee, and we will return: renew our days as of old.
هَلْ كُلَّ ٱلرَّفْضِ رَفَضْتَنَا؟ هَلْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا جِدًّا؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
For wouldst thou entirely reject us, be wroth with us to the uttermost?
