إِرْمِيَا 48

١ 1 عَنْ مُوآبَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: وَيْلٌ لِنَبُو لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. خَزِيَتْ وَأُخِذَتْ قَرْيَتَايِمُ. خَزِيَتْ مِسْجَابُ وَٱرْتَعَبَتْ.

Of Moab. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is put to shame; it is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.

٢ 2 لَيْسَ مَوْجُودًا بَعْدُ فَخْرُ مُوآبَ. فِي حَشْبُونَ فَكَّرُوا عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا. هَلُمَّ فَنَقْرِضُهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةً. وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا يَا مَدْمِينُ تُصَمِّينَ وَيَذْهَبُ وَرَاءَكِ ٱلسَّيْفُ.

The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O madmen, shall be brought to silence. The sword shall pursue thee.

٣ 3 صَوْتُ صِيَاحٍ مِنْ حُورُونَايِمَ، هَلَاكٌ وَسَحْقٌ عَظِيمٌ.

The sound of a cry from Horonaim: Desolation and great destruction!

٤ 4 قَدْ حُطِّمَتْ مُوآبُ، وَأَسْمَعَ صِغَارُهَا صُرَاخًا.

Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ فِي عَقَبَةِ لُوحِيتَ يَصْعَدُ بُكَاءٌ عَلَى بُكَاءٍ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي مُنْحَدَرِ حُورُونَايِمَ سَمِعَ ٱلْأَعْدَاءُ صُرَاخَ ٱنْكِسَارٍ.

For they shall go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping, for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

٦ 6 ٱهْرُبُوا نَجُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ، وَكُونُوا كَعَرْعَرٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

٧ 7 «فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱتِّكَالِكِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِكِ وَعَلَى خَزَائِنِكِ سَتُؤْخَذِينَ أَنْتِ أَيْضًا، وَيَخْرُجُ كَمُوشُ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ، كَهَنَتُهُ ورُؤَسَاؤُهُ مَعًا.

For, because thou have trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his rulers together.

٨ 8 وَيَأْتِي ٱلْمُهْلِكُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، فَلَا تُفْلِتُ مَدِينَةٌ، فَيَبِيدُ ٱلْوَطَاءُ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلسَّهْلُ كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape. The valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as Jehovah has spoken.

٩ 9 أَعْطُوا مُوآبَ جَنَاحًا لِأَنَّهَا تَخْرُجُ طَائِرَةً وَتَصِيرُ مُدُنُهَا خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ فِيهَا.

Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away. And her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.

١٠ 10 مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِرِخَاءٍ، وَمَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَمْنَعُ سَيْفَهُ عَنِ ٱلدَّمِ.

Cursed be he who does the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.

١١ 11 «مُسْتَرِيحٌ مُوآبُ مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ، وَهُوَ مُسْتَقِرٌّ عَلَى دُرْدِيِّهِ، وَلَمْ يُفْرَغْ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ. لِذَلِكَ بَقِيَ طَعْمُهُ فِيهِ، وَرَائِحَتُهُ لَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ.

Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِ مُصْغِينَ فَيُصْغُونَهُ، وَيُفَرِّغُونَ آنِيَتَهُ، وَيَكْسِرُونَ أَوْعِيَتَهُمْ.

Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off. And they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

١٣ 13 فَيَخْجَلُ مُوآبُ مِنْ كَمُوشَ، كَمَا خَجِلَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ مُتَّكَلِهِمْ.

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

١٤ 14 «كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَبَابِرَةٌ وَرِجَالُ قُوَّةٍ لِلْحَرْبِ؟

How can ye say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?

١٥ 15 أُهْلِكَتْ مُوآبُ وَصَعِدَتْ مُدُنُهَا، وَخِيَارُ مُنْتَخَبِيهَا نَزَلُوا لِلْقَتْلِ، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities. And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.

١٦ 16 قَرِيبٌ مَجِيءُ هَلَاكِ مُوآبَ، وَبَلِيَّتُهَا مُسْرِعَةٌ جِدًّا.

The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast.

١٧ 17 اُنْدُبُوهَا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوَالَيْهَا، وَكُلَّ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ ٱسْمَهَا قُولُوا: كَيْفَ ٱنْكَسَرَ قَضِيبُ ٱلْعِزِّ، عَصَا ٱلْجَلَالِ؟

All ye who are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye who know his name, say, How the strong staff has broken, the beautiful rod!

١٨ 18 اِنْزِلِي مِنَ ٱلْمَجْدِ، ٱجْلِسِي فِي ٱلظَّمَاءِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ بِنْتَ دِيبُونَ، لِأَنَّ مُهْلِكَ مُوآبَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَيْكِ وَأَهْلَكَ حُصُونَكِ.

O thou daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, for the destroyer of Moab has come up against thee. He has destroyed thy strongholds.

١٩ 19 قِفِي عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَتَطَلَّعِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ عَرُوعِيرَ. ٱسْأَلِي ٱلْهَارِبَ وَٱلنَّاجِيَةَ. قُولِي: مَاذَا حَدَثَ؟

O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes. Say, What has been done?

٢٠ 20 قَدْ خَزِيَ مُوآبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ نُقِضَ. وَلْوِلُوا وَٱصْرُخُوا. أَخْبِرُوا فِي أَرْنُونَ أَنَّ مُوآبَ قَدْ أُهْلِكَ.

Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down. Wail and cry, tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

٢١ 21 وَقَدْ جَاءَ ٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَى أَرْضِ ٱلسَّهْلِ، عَلَى حُولُونَ وَعَلَى يَهْصَةَ وَعَلَى مَيْفَعَةَ،

And judgment has come upon the plain country: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,

٢٢ 22 وَعَلَى دِيبُونَ وَعَلَى نَبُو وَعَلَى بَيْتِ دَبْلَتَايِمَ،

and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,

٢٣ 23 وَعَلَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ جَامُولَ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ مَعُونَ،

and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,

٢٤ 24 وَعَلَى قَرْيُوتَ وَعَلَى بُصْرَةَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ وَٱلْقَرِيبَةِ.

and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

٢٥ 25 عُضِبَ قَرْنُ مُوآبَ، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Jehovah.

٢٦ 26 «أَسْكِرُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَتَمَرَّغَ مُوآبُ فِي قُيَائِهِ، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ ضُحْكَةً.

Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah. And Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

٢٧ 27 أَفَمَا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ضُحْكَةً لَكَ؟ هَلْ وُجِدَ بَيْنَ ٱللُّصُوصِ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ كُلَّمَا كُنْتَ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ كُنْتَ تَنْغَضُ ٱلرَّأْسَ؟

For was not Israel a derision to thee? Was he found among thieves? For as often as thou speak of him, thou wag the head.

٢٨ 28 خَلُّوا ٱلْمُدُنَ، وَٱسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ يَاسُكَّانَ مُوآبَ، وَكُونُوا كَحَمَامَةٍ تُعَشِّشُ فِي جَوَانِبِ فَمِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ.

O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of an abyss.

٢٩ 29 قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِكِبْرِيَاءِ مُوآبَ. هُوَ مُتَكَبِّرٌ جِدًّا. بِعَظَمَتِهِ وَبِكِبْرِيَائِهِ وَجَلَالِهِ وَٱرْتِفَاعِ قَلْبِهِ.

We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud, his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا عَرَفْتُ سَخَطَهُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُ بَاطِلٌ. أَكَاذِيبُهُ فَعَلَتْ بَاطِلًا.

I know his wrath, says Jehovah, that it is nothing. His boastings have wrought nothing.

٣١ 31 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أُوَلْوِلُ عَلَى مُوآبَ، وَعَلَى مُوآبَ كُلِّهِ أَصْرُخُ. يُؤَنُّ عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ.

Therefore I will wail for Moab, yea, I will cry out for all Moab. For they shall mourn the men of Kir-heres.

٣٢ 32 أَبْكِي عَلَيْكِ بُكَاءَ يَعْزِيرَ، يَا جَفْنَةَ سَبْمَةَ. قَدْ عَبَرَتْ قُضْبَانُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَحْرِ يَعْزِيرَ. وَقَعَ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ عَلَى جَنَاكِ، وَعَلَى قِطَافِكِ.

With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah. Thy branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

٣٣ 33 وَنُزِعَ ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلطَّرَبُ مِنَ ٱلْبُسْتَانِ، وَمِنْ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ. وَقَدْ أُبْطِلَتِ ٱلْخَمْرُ مِنَ ٱلْمَعَاصِرِ. لَا يُدَاسُ بِهُتَافٍ. جَلَبَةٌ لَا هُتَافٌ.

And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. And I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses. None shall tread with shouting. The shouting shall be no shouting.

٣٤ 34 قَدْ أَطْلَقُوا صَوْتَهُمْ مِنْ صُرَاخِ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى أَلْعَالَةَ إِلَى يَاهَصَ، مِنْ صُوغَرَ إِلَى حُورُونَايِمَ، كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلَاثِيَّةٍ، لِأَنَّ مِيَاهَ نِمْرِيمَ أَيْضًا تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً.

From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.

٣٥ 35 وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنْ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مَنْ يُصْعِدُ فِي مُرْتَفَعَةٍ، وَمَنْ يُبَخِّرُ لِآلِهَتِهِ.

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Jehovah, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.

٣٦ 36 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يُصَوِّتُ قَلْبِي لِمُوآبَ كَنَايٍ، وَيُصَوِّتُ قَلْبِي لِرِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ كَنَايٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلثَّرْوَةَ ٱلَّتِي ٱكْتَسَبُوهَا قَدْ بَادَتْ.

Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.

٣٧ 37 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَأْسٍ أَقْرَعُ، وَكُلَّ لِحْيَةٍ مَجْزُوزَةٌ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَيَادِي خُمُوشٌ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ مُسُوحٌ.

For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. Upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

٣٨ 38 عَلَى كُلِّ سُطُوحِ مُوآبَ وَفِي شَوَارِعِهَا كُلِّهَا نَوْحٌ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ حَطَمْتُ مُوآبَ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا مَسَرَّةَ بِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation everywhere. For I have broken Moab like a vessel of which none delights, says Jehovah.

٣٩ 39 يُوَلْوِلُونَ قَائِلِينَ: كَيْفَ نُقِضَتْ؟ كَيْفَ حَوَّلَتْ مُوآبُ قَفَاهَا بِخِزْيٍ؟ فَقَدْ صَارَتْ مُوآبُ ضُحْكَةً وَرُعْبًا لِكُلِّ مَنْ حَوَالَيْهَا.

How it is broken down! How they do wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So Moab shall become a derision and a horror to all who are round about him.

٤٠ 40 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا هُوَ يَطِيرُ كَنَسْرٍ، وَيَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى مُوآبَ.

For thus says Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

٤١ 41 قَدْ أُخِذَتْ قَرْيُوتُ، وَأُمْسِكَتِ ٱلْحَصِينَاتُ، وَسَيَكُونُ قَلْبُ جَبَابِرَةِ مُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ كَقَلْبِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ.

Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

٤٢ 42 وَيَهْلِكُ مُوآبُ عَنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَعْبًا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَاظَمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.

٤٣ 43 خَوْفٌ وَحُفْرَةٌ وَفَخٌّ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَاكِنَ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.

٤٤ 44 ٱلَّذِي يَهْرُبُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْخَوْفِ يَسْقُطُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، وَٱلَّذِي يَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ يَعْلَقُ فِي ٱلْفَخِّ، لِأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهَا، أيْ عَلَى مُوآبَ، سَنَةَ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, says Jehovah.

٤٥ 45 فِي ظِلِّ حَشْبُونَ وَقَفَ ٱلْهَارِبُونَ بِلَا قُوَّةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، وَلَهِيبٌ مِنْ وَسْطِ سِيحُونَ، فَأَكَلَتْ زَاوِيَةَ مُوآبَ، وَهَامَةَ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى.

Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

٤٦ 46 وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ! بَادَ شَعْبُ كَمُوشَ، لِأَنَّ بَنِيكَ قَدْ أُخِذُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ وَبَنَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ.

Woe to thee, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone, for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.

٤٧ 47 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مُوآبَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». إِلَى هُنَا قَضَاءُ مُوآبَ.

Yet I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
