Jeremias 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Aelam.
| وَفِي بِدَايَةِ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذَا الْكَلاَمِ قَائِلاً: | ١ |
2 FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
| هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «قِفْ فِي سَاحَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَبَلِّغْ كُلَّ أَهْلِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الْقَادِمِينَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ بِجَمِيعِ الْكَلاَمِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تُخَاطِبَهُمْ بِهِ. وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَحْذِفَ كَلِمَةً. | ٢ |
3 Take up arms and spears, and draw nigh to battle;
| لَعَلَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ وَيَرْجِعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الأَثِيمِ، فَأَمْتَنِعَ عَنِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أُوْقِعَهُ بِهِمْ لِسُوءِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ». | ٣ |
4 and harness the horses: mount, ye horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breast-plates.
| خَاطِبْهُمْ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنْ لَمْ تُطِيعُونِي فَتَسْلُكُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِي الَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ، | ٤ |
5 Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمِعُوا لِتَحْذِيرَاتِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِياءِ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَلَمْ تُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِمْ، | ٥ |
6 Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
| فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ نَظِيرَ شِيلُوهَ، وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ لَعْنَةً لِجَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ». | ٦ |
7 Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves?
| فَسَمِعَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِياءُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ إِرْمِيَا يُرَدِّدُ هَذَا الْكَلاَمَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٧ |
8 The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
| فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ إِرْمِيَا مِنَ الإِدْلاَءِ بِكُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يُخَاطِبَ بِهِ الشَّعْبَ، قَبَضَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «لاَبُدَّ أَنْ تَمُوتَ. | ٨ |
9 Mount ye the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, ye warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, ye Lydians, bend the bow.
| لِمَاذَا تَنَبَّأْتَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ مَصِيرَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ سَيَكُونُ كَمَصِيرِ شِيلُوهَ، وَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ تَصِيرُ خِرَباً مَهْجُورَةً؟». وَأَحَاطَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ بِإِرْمِيَا فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٩ |
10 And that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا، أَقْبَلُوا مِنْ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَجَلَسُوا فِي مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْجَدِيدَةِ، | ١٠ |
11 Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain hast thou multiplied thy medicines; there is no help in thee.
| ثُمَّ خَاطَبَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا وَسَائِرَ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الرَّجُلُ يَسْتَحِقُّ حُكْمَ الْمَوْتِ. لأَنَّهُ تَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِالدَّمَارِ كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِآذَانِكُمْ». | ١١ |
12 The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together.
| فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِجَمِيعِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «الرَّبُّ قَدْ بَعَثَنِي لأَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِكُلِّ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ. | ١٢ |
13 THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt.
| فَالآنَ قَوِّمُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، وَأَطِيعُوا صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَيَمْتَنِعَ عَنِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي قَضَى بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say ye, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured thy yew-tree.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ. اصْنَعُوا بِي مَا يَحْلُو لَكُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Wherefore has Apis fled from thee? thy choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
| وَلَكِنْ تَيَقَّنُوا أَنَّكُمْ إِنْ قَتَلْتُمُونِي فَإِنَّكُمْ تَجْلِبُونَ دَماً بَرِيئاً عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِهَا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَعَثَنِي حَقّاً لأُعْلِنَ قَضَاءَهُ فِي مَسَامِعِكُمْ». | ١٥ |
16 And thy multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ: «هَذَا الرَّجُلُ لاَ يَسْتَحِقُّ حُكْمَ الْمَوْتِ لأَنَّهُ خَاطَبَنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا». | ١٦ |
17 Call ye the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ شُيُوخِ الْبِلاَدِ وَقَالُوا لِجَمَاعَةِ الشَّعْبِ: | ١٧ |
18 [As] I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
| «إِنَّ مِيخَا الْمُورَشْتِيَّ تَنَبَّأَ فِي عَهْدِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَخَاطَبَ كُلَّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلاً هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنَّ صِهْيَوْنَ سَتُحْرَثُ كَحَقْلٍ وَتَصِيرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ كَوْمَةً مِنَ الْخَرَائِبِ، وَجَبَلُ الْهَيْكَلِ مُرْتَفَعاً تَنْمُو عَلَيْهِ أَشْجَارُ الْغَابِ. | ١٨ |
19 O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare thee stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
| فَهَلْ قَتَلَهُ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا وَكُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا؟ أَمَا اتَّقَى الرَّبَّ وَاسْتَعْطَفَهُ، فَامْتَنَعَ الرَّبُّ عَنِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي قَضَى بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ إِنَّنَا نَكَادُ نَجْلِبُ بَلاَءً عَظِيماً عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا». | ١٩ |
20 Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً رَجُلٌ آخَرُ يُدْعَى أُورِيَّا بْنَ شِمْعِيَا مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ يَتَنَبَّأُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، فَتَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ بِمِثْلِ نُبُؤَةِ إِرْمِيَا. | ٢٠ |
21 Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
| فَبَلَغَ كَلاَمُهُ مَسَامِعَ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ وَجَمِيعِ مُحَارِبِيهِ الأَشِدَّاءِ وَسَائِرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، فَطَلَبَ الْمَلِكُ قَتْلَهُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أُورِيَّا بِذَلِكَ خَافَ وَهَرَبَ إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ٢١ |
22 Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
| فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ رِجَالاً إِلَى مِصْرَ، مِنْهُمْ أَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ يَصْحَبُهُ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُرَافِقِينَ، | ٢٢ |
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for [their number] cannot at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
| فَأَخْرَجُوا أُورِيَّا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ فَقَتَلَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَطَرَحَ جُثَّتَهُ فِي مَقَابِرِ عَامَّةِ النَّاسِ. | ٢٣ |
24 The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
| أَمَّا إِرْمِيَا فَقَدْ حَظِيَ بِحِمَايَةِ أَخِيقَامَ بِنْ شَافَانَ فَلَمْ يُسَلَّمْ لأَيْدِي الشَّعْبِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٤ |
25 Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
| ٢٥ |
| ٢٦ |
27 But fear not thou, my servant Jacob, neither be thou alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
| ٢٧ |
28 Fear not thou, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: she [that was] without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust thee forth; but I will not cause thee to fail: yet will I chastise thee in the way of judgment, and will not hold thee entirely guiltless.
