إرْمِيا 49

١ 1 نُبُوءَةٌ عَنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «أَلَيْسَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبْنَاءُ؟ أَلَيْسَ لَهُ وَارِثٌ؟ فَمَا بَالُ مَلِكِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى مِيرَاثِ سِبْطِ جَادٍ وَسَكَنَ شَعْبُهُ فِي مُدُنِهِ؟

Concerning the sons of Ammon. Thus says Jehovah: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?

٢ 2 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَجْعَلُ فِيهَا هُتَافَ الْقِتَالِ يَتَرَدَّدُ فِي رَبَّةِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ، فَتَصِيرُ تَلَّةَ أَطْلالٍ، وَتُحْرَقُ قُرَاهَا بِالنَّارِ فَيُجْلِي الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَجْلَوْهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall possess those who possessed him, says Jehovah.

٣ 3 أَعْوِلِي يَا حَشْبُونُ لأَنَّ عَايَ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. ابْكِينَ يَا بَنَاتِ رَبَّةَ وَتَمَنْطَقْنَ بِالْمُسُوحِ. انْدُبْنَ وَاذْرَعْنَ الأَرْضَ بَيْنَ السِّيَاجَاتِ فَإِنَّ مَلِكَكُنَّ سَيَذْهَبُ إِلَى السَّبْيِ مَعَ كَهَنَتِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ جَمِيعاً.

Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste. Cry, ye daughters of Rabbah. Gird you with sackcloth. Lament, and run to and fro among the fences. For Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his rulers together.

٤ 4 مَا بَالُكِ تُبَاهِينَ بِالأَوْدِيَةِ أَيَّتُهَا الابْنَةُ الْمُخَادِعَةُ الَّتِي اتَّكَلَتْ عَلَى نَفَائِسِهَا قَائِلَةً: مَنْ يُهَاجِمُنِي؟

Why do thou glory in the valleys, thy flowing valley? O backsliding daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?

٥ 5 هَا أَنَا أُوْقِعُ بِكِ الرُّعْبَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِكِ، فَيَتَشَرَّدُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَطْرُوداً، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ شَتَاتَ الْهَارِبِينَ.

Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, from all who are round about thee. And ye shall be driven out every man straight forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ أَعُودُ فَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, says Jehovah.

٧ 7 نُبُوءَةٌ عَنِ الأَدُومِيِّينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «أَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِي تِيمَانَ حِكْمَةٌ بَعْدُ؟ هَلْ بَادَتِ الْمَشُورَةُ مِنْ ذَوِي الْفَهْمِ؟ هَلْ تَلاشَتْ حِكْمَتُهُمْ؟

Of Edom. Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?

٨ 8 اهْرُبُوا: أَدْبِرُوا، اخْتَبِئُوا فِي الأَعْمَاقِ يَا سُكَّانَ دَدَانَ، لأَنِّي سَأُوْقِعُ الْبَلِيَّةَ بِذُرِّيَّةِ عِيسُو فِي أَوَانِ عِقَابِهَا.

Flee ye, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan. For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I shall visit him.

٩ 9 لَوْ أَقْبَلَ قَاطِفُو الْعِنَبِ إِلَيْكَ، أَلا يُبْقُونَ خُصَاصَةً؟ وَلَوِ انْسَلَّ اللُّصُوصُ لَيْلاً، أَلا يَقْنَعُونَ بِسَلْبِ مَا يَكْفِيهِمْ؟

If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had enough?

١٠ 10 أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ جَرَّدْتُ ذُرِّيَّةَ عِيسُو، وَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ مَخَابِئِهَا السِّرِّيَّةِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِهَا الاخْتِفَاءُ. هَلَكَ أَبْنَاءُ عِيسُو وَإخْوَتُهُ وَجِيرَانُهُ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ أَثَرٌ بَعْدُ.

But I have made Esau bare. I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself. His seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors, and he is not.

١١ 11 اتْرُكْ أَيْتَامَكَ فَإِنِّي أُحْيِيهِمْ، وَلْتَتَّكِلْ أَرَامِلُكَ عَلَيَّ».

Leave thy fatherless sons; I will preserve them alive. And let thy widows trust in me.

١٢ 12 لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ كَانَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَسْتَحِقُّونَ تَجَرُّعَ كَأْسِ الْعِقَابِ قَدْ تَجَرَّعُوهُ، أَتُفْلِتُ أَنْتَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ؟ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُفْلِتَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ، بَلْ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَجْرَعَهُ حَتْماً.

For thus says Jehovah: Behold, those to whom it did not pertain to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink. And are thou he who shall go altogether unpunished? Thou shall not go unpunished, but thou shall surely drink.

١٣ 13 هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِنَفْسِي»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «أَنْ تُصْبِحَ بُصْرَةُ عُرْضَةً لِلرُّعْبِ وَالْعَارِ وَالْخَرَابِ وَاللَّعْنَةِ، وَتَغْدُو مُدُنُهَا خَرَائِبَ دَائِمَةً».

For I have sworn by myself, says Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse, and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

١٤ 14 تَبَلَّغْتُ رِسَالَةً مِنْ لَدُنِ الرَّبِّ، أَنَّ سَفِيراً قَدْ بُعِثَ إِلَى الأُمَمِ قَائِلاً: «احْشِدُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِمُهَاجَمَتِهَا. هُبُّوا لِلْقِتَالِ.

I have heard news from Jehovah. And an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

١٥ 15 قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيراً فِي الأُمَمِ، حَقِيراً بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.

For, behold, I have made thee small among the nations, and despised among men.

١٦ 16 قَدْ خَدَعَكَ مَا تُثِيرُهُ مِنْ رُعْبٍ، وَأَغْوَتْكَ كِبْرِيَاءُ قَلْبِكَ، يَا مَنْ تُقِيمُ فِي شُقُوقِ الصَّخْرِ وَتَعْتَصِمُ بِقِمَّةِ التَّلِّ. وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأَطْرَحُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَلَوْ بَنَيْتَ عُشَّكَ عَالِياً كَعُشِّ النَّسْرِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

As for thy formidableness, the pride of thy heart has deceived thee, O thou who dwells in the clefts of the rock, who holds the height of the hill. Though thou should make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from there, says Jehovah.

١٧ 17 سَتُصْبِحُ أَدُومُ مَثَارَ رُعْبٍ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِها تَعْتَرِيهِ رِعْدَةٌ، وَيَصْفَرُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كُلِّ نَكْبَاتِهَا،

And Edom shall become an astonishment. Everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues of it.

١٨ 18 وَيُصِيبُهَا مَا أَصَابَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمَا جَاوَرَهُمَا، مِنِ انْقِلابٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَلا يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ وَلا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ.

As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says Jehovah, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man sojourn in it.

١٩ 19 هَا هُوَ يَنْقَضُّ عَلَى الأَدُومِيِّينَ فِي مَوَاطِنِ صُخُورِهِمْ كَمَا يَنْقَضُّ فَجْأَةً أَسَدٌ مِنْ أَجَمَاتِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ؛ وَفِي لَحْظَةٍ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْهَا وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ أَخْتَارُهُ، لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلِي؟ وَمَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ وَأَيُّ رَاعٍ يَقْوَى عَلَى مُوَاجَهَتِي؟

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation. For I will suddenly make them run away from it. And he who is chosen, him I will appoint over it. For who is like me, and who will appoint a time for me, and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

٢٠ 20 لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعُوا مَا خَطَّطَهُ الرَّبُّ ضِدَّ أَدُومَ، وَمَا دَبَّرَهُ ضِدَّ سَاكِنِي تِيمَانَ: هَا صِغَارُ الْقَوْمِ يُجَرُّونَ، وَتَنْهَدِمُ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah that he has taken against Edom, and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

٢١ 21 مِنْ صَوْتِ سُقُوطِهِمْ تَرْجُفُ الأَرْضُ، وَأَصْدَاءُ صُرَاخِهِمْ تَبْلُغُ الْبَحْرَ الأَحْمَرَ.

The earth trembles at the noise of their fall. There is a cry; the noise of it is heard in the Red Sea.

٢٢ 22 هَا هُوَ يُحَلِّقُ كَالنَّسْرِ، وَيَنْشُرُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى بُصْرَةَ، فَتُصْبِحُ قُلُوبُ جَبَابِرَةِ أَدُومَ كَقَلْبِ امْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ».

Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. And the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

٢٣ 23 نُبُوءةٌ عَنْ دِمَشْقَ: «قَدْ لَحِقَ الْخِزْيُ بِحَمَاةَ وَأَرْفَادَ إِذْ بَلَغَتْهُمَا الأَنْبَاءُ الْمُزْعِجَةُ، ذَابَتَا خَوْفاً وَاضْطَرَبَتَا كَالْبَحْرِ الْهَائِجِ.

Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad, for they have heard evil news. They are melted away. There is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

٢٤ 24 خَارَتْ قُوَى دِمَشْقَ وَأَدْبَرَتْ لِتَهْرُبَ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا الرُّعْبُ، وَأَدْرَكَهَا الْكَرْبُ وَالأَلَمُ كَامْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ.

Damascus has grown feeble. She turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her. Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

٢٥ 25 كَيْفَ لَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الشَّهِيرَةِ، مَدِينَةِ مَسَرَّتِي؟

How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

٢٦ 26 لِذَلِكَ سَيَتَسَاقَطُ شَبَابُهَا فِي سَاحَاتِهَا، وَيَبِيدُ جَمِيعُ جُنُودِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Jehovah of hosts.

٢٧ 27 سَأُضْرِمُ النَّارَ فِي سُورِ دِمَشْقَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ قُصُورَ بَنْهَدَدَ».

And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

٢٨ 28 نُبُوءَةٌ عَنْ قِيدَارَ وَمَمَالِكِ حَاصُورَ الَّتِي هَاجَمَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هُبُّوا وَازْحَفُوا عَلَى قِيدَارَ. دَمِّرُوا أُمَمَ الْمَشْرِقِ.

Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus says Jehovah: Arise ye. Go up to Kedar, and destroy the sons of the east.

٢٩ 29 فَإِنَّ خِيَامَهُمْ وَقُطْعَانَ أَغْنَامِهِمْ يُسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا، وَتُؤْخَذُ أَسْتَارُهُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتُهُمْ، وَتُنْهَبُ جِمَالُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ، وَيَهْتِفُ بِهِمِ الرِّجَالُ: الرُّعْبُ يُحْدِقُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.

They shall take their tents and their flocks. They shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels. And they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

٣٠ 30 اهْرُبُوا سَرِيعاً. تَفَرَّقُوا. تَوَارَوْا فِي الأَعْمَاقِ يَا أَهْلَ حَاصُورَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ تَآمَرَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَدَبَّرَ خُطَّتَهُ ضِدَّكُمْ.

Flee ye. Wander far off. Dwell in the depths, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, says Jehovah. For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

٣١ 31 هُبُّوا، وَازْحَفُوا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتْرَفَةٍ تَسْكُنُ فِي طُمَأْنِينَةٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. لَا بَوَّابَاتِ لَهَا وَلا مَزَالِيجَ بَلْ تَسْكُنُ مُنْفَرِدَةً.

Arise, get you up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without worry, says Jehovah, that has neither gates nor bars, that dwells alone.

٣٢ 32 سَتُصْبِحُ إِبِلُهُمْ غَنِيمَةً وَمَاشِيَتُهُمْ سَلْباً، وَأُذَرِّي لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ كُلَّ مَقْصُوصِي زَوَايَا الشَّعْرِ، وَأُوْقِعُ بِهِمِ الْبَلِيَّةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَوَانِبِهِمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil. And I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their hair cut off. And I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Jehovah.

٣٣ 33 فَتُصْبِحُ حَاصُورُ مَأْوَى لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَخَرَاباً إِلَى الأَبَدِ. لَا يُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ».

And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation forever. No man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man sojourn therein.

٣٤ 34 النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنْ عِيلامَ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا:

The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

٣٥ 35 هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «هَا أَنَا أُحَطِّمُ قَوْسَ عِيلامَ، عِمَادَ قُوَّتِهِمْ.

Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

٣٦ 36 وَأُرْسِلُ عَلَى عِيلامَ الرِّيَاحَ الأَرْبَعَ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَأُذَرِّيهِمْ لِكُلِّ تِلْكَ الرِّيَاحِ، فَلا تَبْقَى أُمَّةٌ لَا يُسْبَى إِلَيْهَا الْعِيلامِيُّونَ.

And upon Elam I will bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds. And there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

٣٧ 37 وَأُفْزِعُ عِيلامَ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَأَمَامَ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَأُعَاقِبُهُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَبِغَضَبِي اللّاهِبِ، وَأَجْعَلُ السَّيْفَ يَتَعَقَّبُهُمْ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life. And I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, says Jehovah. And I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.

٣٨ 38 وَأَنْصِبُ عَرْشِي فِي عِيلامَ، وَأَقْضِي عَلَى مَلِكِهِمْ وَعَلَى عُظَمَائِهِمْ.

And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and rulers, says Jehovah.

٣٩ 39 وَلَكِنْ أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ عِيلامَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الآتِيَةِ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, says Jehovah.
