< مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 5 >
اُذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ مَاذَا صَارَ لَنَا. أَشْرِفْ وَٱنْظُرْ إِلَى عَارِنَا. | ١ 1 |
Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us: behold, and look on our reproach.
قَدْ صَارَ مِيرَاثُنَا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ. بُيُوتُنَا لِلْأَجَانِبِ. | ٢ 2 |
Our inheritance has been turned away to aliens, our houses to strangers:
صِرْنَا أَيْتَامًا بِلَا أَبٍ. أُمَّهَاتُنَا كَأَرَامِلَ. | ٣ 3 |
we are become orphans, we have no father, our mothers are as widows.
شَرِبْنَا مَاءَنَا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ. حَطَبُنَا بِٱلثَّمَنِ يَأْتِي. | ٤ 4 |
We have drunk our water for money; our wood is sold to us [for a burden] on our neck:
عَلَى أَعْنَاقِنَا نُضْطَهَدُ. نَتْعَبُ وَلَا رَاحَةَ لَنَا. | ٥ 5 |
we have been persecuted, we have laboured, we have had no rest.
أَعْطَيْنَا ٱلْيَدَ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَشُّورِيِّينَ لِنَشْبَعَ خُبْزًا. | ٦ 6 |
Egypt gave the hand [to us], Assur to their own satisfaction.
آبَاؤُنَا أَخْطَأُوا وَلَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ، وَنَحْنُ نَحْمِلُ آثَامَهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Our fathers sinned, [and] are not: we have borne their iniquities.
عَبِيدٌ حَكَمُوا عَلَيْنَا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Servants have ruled over us: there is none to ransom [us] out of their hand.
بِأَنْفُسِنَا نَأْتِي بِخُبْزِنَا مِنْ جَرَى سَيْفِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
We shall bring in our bread with [danger of] our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
جُلُودُنَا ٱسْوَدَّتْ كَتَنُّورٍ مِنْ جَرَى نِيرَانِ ٱلْجُوعِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Our skin is blackened like an oven; they are convulsed, because of the storms of famine.
أَذَلُّوا ٱلنِّسَاءَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱلْعَذَارَى فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١١ 11 |
They humbled the women in Sion, the virgins in the cities of Juda.
ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ يُعَلَّقُونَ، وَلَمْ تُعْتَبَرْ وُجُوهُ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Princes were hanged up by their hands: the elders were not honoured.
أَخَذُوا ٱلشُّبَّانَ لِلطَّحْنِ، وَٱلصِّبْيَانَ عَثَرُوا تَحْتَ ٱلْحَطَبِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The chosen men lifted up [the voice in] weeping, and the youths fainted under the wood.
كَفَّتِ ٱلشُّيُوخُ عَنِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the elders ceased from the gate, the chosen men ceased 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: yes, woe to us! for we have sinned.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا حَزِنَ قَلْبُنَا. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذِهِ أَظْلَمَتْ عُيُونُنَا. | ١٧ 17 |
For this has grief come; our heart is sorrowful: for this our eyes are darkened.
مِنْ أَجْلِ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلْخَرِبِ. ٱلثَّعَالِبُ مَاشِيَةٌ فِيهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Over the mountain of Sion, because it is made desolate, foxes have walked therein.
أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ تَجْلِسُ. كُرْسِيُّكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
But you, O Lord, shall dwell for ever; your throne [shall endure] to generation and generation.
لِمَاذَا تَنْسَانَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَتَتْرُكُنَا طُولَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Therefore will you utterly forget us, and abandon us a long time?
اُرْدُدْنَا يَارَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَنَرْتَدَّ. جَدِّدْ أَيَّامَنَا كَٱلْقَدِيمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Turn us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be turned; and renew our days as before.
هَلْ كُلَّ ٱلرَّفْضِ رَفَضْتَنَا؟ هَلْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْنَا جِدًّا؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
For you have indeed rejected us; you have been very angry against us.
