< 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 reproach.
قَدْ صَارَ مِيرَاثُنَا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ. بُيُوتُنَا لِلْأَجَانِبِ. ٢ 2
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
صِرْنَا أَيْتَامًا بِلَا أَبٍ. أُمَّهَاتُنَا كَأَرَامِلَ. ٣ 3
We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are as widows.
شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ. حَطَبُنَا بِٱلثَّمَنِ يَأْتِي. ٤ 4
We must pay for water to drink. 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 given our hands to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
آبَاؤُنَا أَخْطَأُوا وَلَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ، وَنَحْنُ نَحْمِلُ آثَامَهُمْ. ٧ 7
Our fathers sinned, and are no more. We have borne their iniquities.
عَبِيدٌ حَكَمُوا عَلَيْنَا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. ٨ 8
Servants rule over us. There is no one 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 black like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.
أَذَلُّوا ٱلنِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱلْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. ١١ 11
They ravished the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ يُعَلَّقُونَ، وَلَمْ تُعْتَبَرْ وُجُوهُ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. ١٢ 12
Princes were hanged up by their hands. The faces of elders were not honored.
أَخَذُوا ٱلشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَٱلصِّبْيَانَ عَثَرُوا تَحْتَ ٱلْحَطَبِ. ١٣ 13
The young men carry millstones. The children stumbled under loads of wood.
كَفَّتِ ٱلشُّيُوخُ عَنِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
The elders have ceased from the gate, and the young men from their music.
مَضَى فَرَحُ قَلْبِنَا. صَارَ رَقْصُنَا نَوْحًا. ١٥ 15
The joy of our heart has ceased. Our dance is turned into mourning.
سَقَطَ إِكْلِيلُ رَأْسِنَا. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا. ١٦ 16
The crown has 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 are 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
You, LORD, remain forever. Your throne is from generation to generation.
لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ؟ ٢٠ 20
Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?
اُرْدُدْنَا يَارَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْتَدَّ. جَدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَٱلْقَدِيمِ. ٢١ 21
Turn us to yourself, LORD, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.
هَلْ كُلَّ ٱلرَّفْضِ رَفَضْتَنَا؟ هَلْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا جِدًّا؟ ٢٢ 22
But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.
