< مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 5 >

اُذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ مَاذَا صَارَ لَنَا. أَشْرِفْ وَٱنْظُرْ إِلَى عَارِنَا. ١ 1
Remember, LORD, what has come on us. Look, and see our disgrace.
قَدْ صَارَ مِيرَاثُنَا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ. بُيُوتُنَا لِلْأَجَانِبِ. ٢ 2
Our inheritance is turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.
صِرْنَا أَيْتَامًا بِلَا أَبٍ. أُمَّهَاتُنَا كَأَرَامِلَ. ٣ 3
We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are like widows.
شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ. حَطَبُنَا بِٱلثَّمَنِ يَأْتِي. ٤ 4
We have to pay for a drink of water; our wood is sold to us.
عَلَى أَعْنَاقِنَا نُضْطَهَدُ. نَتْعَبُ وَلَا رَاحَةَ لَنَا. ٥ 5
Our pursuers are on our necks; we are weary, and have no rest.
أَعْطَيْنَا ٱلْيَدَ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَشُّورِيِّينَ لِنَشْبَعَ خُبْزًا. ٦ 6
We have submitted to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians, to get enough bread.
آبَاؤُنَا أَخْطَأُوا وَلَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ، وَنَحْنُ نَحْمِلُ آثَامَهُمْ. ٧ 7
Our fathers sinned, and are no more; but we have borne their iniquities.
عَبِيدٌ حَكَمُوا عَلَيْنَا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. ٨ 8
Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
بِأَنْفُسِنَا نَأْتِي بِخُبْزِنَا مِنْ جَرَى سَيْفِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٩ 9
We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
جُلُودُنَا ٱسْوَدَّتْ كَتَنُّورٍ مِنْ جَرَى نِيرَانِ ٱلْجُوعِ. ١٠ 10
Our skin is hot like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.
أَذَلُّوا ٱلنِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱلْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. ١١ 11
They raped the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ يُعَلَّقُونَ، وَلَمْ تُعْتَبَرْ وُجُوهُ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. ١٢ 12
Princes were hung by their hands; elders were shown no respect.
أَخَذُوا ٱلشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَٱلصِّبْيَانَ عَثَرُوا تَحْتَ ٱلْحَطَبِ. ١٣ 13
The young men grind at the mill; the boys stagger under loads of wood.
كَفَّتِ ٱلشُّيُوخُ عَنِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
The elders have gone from the gate, the young men from their music.
مَضَى فَرَحُ قَلْبِنَا. صَارَ رَقْصُنَا نَوْحًا. ١٥ 15
The joy of our heart has ceased; our dancing is turned into mourning.
سَقَطَ إِكْلِيلُ رَأْسِنَا. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا. ١٦ 16
The crown is fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا حَزِنَ قَلْبُنَا. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذِهِ أَظْلَمَتْ عُيُونُنَا. ١٧ 17
For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes grow dim.
مِنْ أَجْلِ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلْخَرِبِ. ٱلثَّعَالِبُ مَاشِيَةٌ فِيهِ. ١٨ 18
For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate; the foxes walk on it.
أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ تَجْلِسُ. كُرْسِيُّكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. ١٩ 19
But you, LORD, abide forever; your throne is from generation to generation.
لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ؟ ٢٠ 20
Why do you keep on forgetting us? Why do you forsake us so long?
اُرْدُدْنَا يَارَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْتَدَّ. جَدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَٱلْقَدِيمِ. ٢١ 21
Restore us to you, LORD, and we shall be restored; renew our days as in former times,
هَلْ كُلَّ ٱلرَّفْضِ رَفَضْتَنَا؟ هَلْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا جِدًّا؟ ٢٢ 22
unless you have completely rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
