Jeremiah 32

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah: that year was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

١ هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا فِي السَّنَةِ الْعَاشِرَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الْمُوَافِقَةِ للِسَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِمُلْكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ.

2 And the king of Babylon's army was then besieging Jerusalem; and the prophet Jeremiah was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.

٢ وَكَانَ جَيْشُ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ آنَئِذٍ يُحَاصِرُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ مُعْتَقَلاً فِي دَارِ السِّجْنِ فِي قَصْرِ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا،

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why dost thou prophesy and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

٣ لأَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا الْمَلِكَ اعْتَقَلَهُ قَائِلاً: «لِمَاذَا تَتَنَبَّأُ مُنَادِياً أَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ:’هَا أَنَا أُسْلِمُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَى يَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهَا؟

4 and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans; for he shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

٤ وَكَذَلِكَ لَنْ يُفْلِتَ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ يَدِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، بَلْ يُقْبَضَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فَيُخَاطِبَهُ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَنْظُرَانِ عَيْنَيْهِ

5 and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?

٥ وَيُسْبَى صِدْقِيَّا إِلَى بَابِلَ وَيَمْكُثَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. وَإِنْ حَارَبْتُمُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَنْجَحُونَ‘».

6 And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

٦ فَأَجَابَ إِرْمِيَا: «قَدْ أَعْلَنَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ قَضَاءَهُ قَائِلاً:

7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, Buy for thyself my field which is in Anathoth; for thine is the right of redemption, to buy [it].

٧ هَا حَنَمْئِيلُ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ شَلُّومَ قَادِمٌ إِلَيْكَ قَائِلاً:’اشْتَرِ حَقْلِي الَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ لأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ الْفِكَاكِ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الشِّرَاءِ.‘

8 And Hanameel, mine uncle's son, came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine: buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.

٨ وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ جَاءَ حَنَمْئِيلُ ابْنُ عَمِّي إِلَيَّ فِي دَارِ السِّجْنِ بِمُقْتَضَى كَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِي:’اشْتَرِ حَقْلِي الَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ، لأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ الإِرْثِ وَالْفِكَاكِ.‘حِينَئِذٍ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّ تِلْكَ كَانَتْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ.

9 And I bought of Hanameel, mine uncle's son, the field which is in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.

٩ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ الْحَقْلَ الَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ مِنْ حَنَمْئِيلَ ابْنِ عَمِّي، وَوَزَنْتُ لَهُ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَاقِلاً (حَوَالَيْ مِئَتَيْ جرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.

10 And I subscribed the writing, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances.

١٠ ثُمَّ سَجَّلْتُ عَقْدَ الْبَيْعِ فِي صَكٍّ وَخَتَمْتُهُ، وَأَشْهَدْتُ شُهُوداً، وَوَزَنْتُ الْفِضَّةَ بِمِيزَانٍ.

11 And I took the writing of the purchase, that which was sealed [according to] the law and the statutes, and that which was open;

١١ وَأَخَذْتُ صَكَّ الْبَيْعِ الْمَخْتُومَ الْمُتَضَمِّنَ بُنُودَ الْعَقْدِ مَعَ نُسْخَةٍ غَيْرِ مَخْتُومَةٍ،

12 and I gave the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that had subscribed the writing of purchase, before all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the guard.

١٢ وَأَوْدَعْتُ صَكَّ الْبَيْعِ عِنْدَ بَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا بْنِ مَحْسِيَا بِمَحْضَرِ حَنَمْئِيلَ ابْنِ عَمِّي وَالشُّهُودِ الَّذِينَ وَقَّعُوا عَلَى صَكِّ الْبَيْعِ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ الْيَهُودِ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي دَارِ السِّجْنِ.

13 And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,

١٣ وَأَوْصَيْتُ بَارُوخَ أَمَامَهُمْ قَائِلاً:

14 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this writing of the purchase, both that which is sealed and this writing which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.

١٤ ’هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: خُذْ هَذَيْنِ الصَّكَّيْنِ: صَكَّ الْبَيْعِ الْمَخْتُومَ، وَالصَّكَّ غَيْرَ الْمَخْتُومِ، وَاحْفَظْهُمَا فِي إِنَاءٍ خَزَفِيٍّ لِمُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ،

15 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be purchased in this land.

١٥ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ بُيُوتاً وَحُقُولاً وَكُرُوماً سَتُشْتَرَى بَعْدُ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ‘».

16 And after I had given the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, I prayed unto Jehovah saying,

١٦ وَبَعْدَ أَنْ أَوْدَعْتُ الصَّكَّ بَارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيَّا صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

17 Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and stretched-out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee:

١٧ «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِقُوَّتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَذِرَاعِكَ الْمَمْدُودَةِ وَلا يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.

18 who shewest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them, thou, the great, the mighty God, — Jehovah of hosts is his name;

١٨ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تُبْدِي إِحْسَانَكَ لأُلُوفٍ، وَتُعَاقِبُ ذَنْبَ الآبَاءِ فِي الأَبْنَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ. أَنْتَ هُوَ الإِلَهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ.

19 great in counsel and mighty in work, whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

١٩ عَظِيمٌ فِي الْمَشُورَةِ وَقَادِرٌ فِي الْعَمَلِ، وَعَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ تُرَاقِبَانِ جَمِيعَ طُرُقِ الإِنْسَانِ لِتُجَازِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ تَصَرُّفَاتِهِ وَثِمَارِ أَعْمَالِهِ.

20 who hast displayed signs and wonders unto this day, in the land of Egypt and in Israel and among [other] men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day.

٢٠ وَقَدْ أَجْرَيْتَ آيَاتٍ وَمُعْجِزَاتٍ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَمَازِلْتَ تُجْرِيهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فِي شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْنَ سَائِرِ الْبَشَرِ، وَجَعَلْتَ اسْمَكَ يُطْبِقُ الآفَاقَ كَمَا هُوَ جَارٍ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ،

21 And thou broughtest forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt by signs, and by wonders, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terror;

٢١ وَأَخْرَجْتَ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِآيَاتٍ وَمُعْجِزَاتٍ، وَبِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَمَا أَلْقَيْتَهُ مِنْ خَوْفٍ شَدِيدٍ فِي قُلُوبِ أَهْلِهَا،

22 and didst give them this land, which thou hadst sworn unto their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

٢٢ وَوَهَبْتَ الشَّعْبَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتَ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ تَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ، أَرْضاً تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً،

23 And they came in and possessed it: but they hearkened not unto thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do; so that thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them.

٢٣ فَدَخَلُوا وَوَرِثُوهَا. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا صَوْتَكَ وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا وَفْقَ شَرِيعَتِكَ وَلَمْ يَفْعَلُوا مَا أَمَرْتَهُمْ بِهِ، لِذَلِكَ أَوْقَعْتَ بِهِمْ هَذَا الشَّرَّ كُلَّهُ.

24 Behold the mounds, they are come unto the city for taking it; and the city is given over into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it].

٢٤ انْظُرْ، هَا الْمَتَارِيسُ قَدْ أُقِيمَتْ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِلاسْتِيلاءِ عَلَيْهَا، وَمِنْ جَرَّاءِ السَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ أَصْبَحَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ فِي يَدِ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَهَا مِنَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. فَكُلُّ مَا نَطَقْتَ بِهِ قَدْ تَمَّ، وَهَا أَنْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَاهِدٌ.

25 And thou, Lord Jehovah, thou hast said unto me, Buy for thyself the field for money, and take witnesses; — and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

٢٥ وَقَدْ قُلْتَ لِي أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: اشْتَرِ الْحَقْلَ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَأَشْهِدْ شُهُوداً مَعَ أَنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ سَقَطَتْ فِي يَدِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ».

26 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

٢٦ ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ إِرْمِيَا:

27 Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

٢٧ «انْظُرْ، أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ كُلِّ بَشَرٍ. هَلْ يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيَّ أَمْرٌ؟

28 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

٢٨ لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أُسْلِمُ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَى يَدِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَإِلَى يَدِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهَا.

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come in and set fire to this city, and shall burn it, and the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

٢٩ وَيَقْتَحِمُهَا الْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَيُضْرِمُونَ فِيهَا النَّارَ وَيُحْرِقُونَهَا هِيَ وَبُيُوتَهَا الَّتِي أَصْعَدُوا عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا بَخُوراً وَسَكَائِبَ خَمْرٍ لِلْبَعْلِ وَلِآلِهَةِ الأَوْثَانِ، لِيُثِيرُوا سُخْطِي.

30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have been doing only evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.

٣٠ إِنَّ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَبْنَاءَ يَهُوذَا جَدُّوا فِي ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ أَمَامِي مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِمْ، فَأَثَارُوا سُخْطِي بِمَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

31 For this city hath been to me [a provocation] of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

٣١ قَدْ أَجَّجَتْ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ، مُنْذُ بِنَائِهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي، وَدَفَعَتْنِي حَتَّى أَمْحُوَهَا مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِي،

32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

٣٢ لِفَرْطِ شَرِّ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِي ارْتَكَبُوهُ، فَأَثَارُوا سُخْطِي هُمْ وَمُلُوكُهُمْ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ وَكَهَنَتُهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهُمُ الْكَذَبَةُ وَرِجَالُ يَهُوذَا وَأَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, rising early and teaching, they hearkened not to receive instruction.

٣٣ وَأَوْلُونِي ظُهُورَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ وُجُوهَهُمْ. وَمَعَ أَنِّي عَلَّمْتُهُمْ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ مَرَّةً تِلْوَ الأُخْرَى، إِلا أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِيَقْبَلُوا تَأْدِيبِي.

34 And they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it;

٣٤ وَنَصَبُوا أَوْثَانَهُمُ الرِّجْسَةَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهِ لِيُنَجِّسُوهُ.

35 and they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause to pass through [the fire] their sons and their daughters unto Molech: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

٣٥ وَبَنَوْا الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لِلْبَعْلِ فِي وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ لِيُجِيزُوا فِي النَّارِ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِمُولَكَ، وَهُوَ مَا لَمْ آمُرْهُمْ بِهِ، وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ لِي بِبَالٍ أَنْ يَرْتَكِبُوا هَذَا الرِّجْسَ وَيَجْعَلُوا شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا يَقْتَرِفُ الإِثْمَ.

36 And now therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith thus concerning this city, whereof ye say, It hath been given over into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

٣٦ لِذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الآنَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي تَقُولُونَ عَنْهَا إِنَّهَا سُلِّمَتْ إِلَى يَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ.

37 Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries whither I have driven them, in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

٣٧ هَا أَنَا أَعُودُ فَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبُلْدَانِ الَّتِي شَتَّتُّهُمْ إِلَيْهَا فِي غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي وَسُخْطِي الشَّدِيدِ، وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَأُسَكِّنُهُمْ آمِنِينَ،

38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

٣٨ فَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all [their] days, for the good of them, and of their children after them.

٣٩ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْباً وَاحِداً وَطَرِيقاً وَاحِداً لِيَتَّقُونِي كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ، وَذَلِكَ لِخَيْرِهِمْ وَخَيْرِ أَوْلادِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ.

40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not draw back from them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their heart, that they may not turn aside from me.

٤٠ وَأُبْرِمُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا أَنْ لَا أَكُفَّ عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَضَعُ تَقْوَايَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ لِئَلَّا يَرْتَدُّوا عَنِّي،

41 And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

٤١ وَأُسَرُّ بِالإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَغْرِسُهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي وَنَفْسِي.

42 For thus saith Jehovah: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have spoken concerning them.

٤٢ وَكَمَا أَوْقَعْتُ بِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ كُلَّ هَذَا الشَّرِّ الْعَظِيمِ، كَذَلِكَ أُمَتِّعُهُمْ بِجَمِيعِ الْخَيْرَاتِ الَّتِي وَعَدْتُهُمْ بِها.

43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

٤٣ فَتُشْتَرَى الْحُقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَدَّعُونَ أَنَّهَا خَرِبَةٌ هَجَرَهَا الإِنْسَانُ وَالْحَيَوَانُ، وَقَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا الْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ.

44 [Men] shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the writings, and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity, saith Jehovah.

٤٤ فَتُشْتَرَى الْحُقُولُ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَتُسَجَّلُ بُنُودُ الْعُقُودِ فِي الصُّكُوكِ وَتُخْتَمُ، وَيُوَقِّعُ الشُّهُودُ فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ وَالْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي الْمَنَاطِقِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ وَفِي مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ، وَمُدُنِ الْجَنُوبِ لأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».
