Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
| هَذِهِ نُبُوءَةُ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَلْقِيَّا أَحَدِ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي عَنَاثُوثَ بِأَرْضِ سِبْطِ بَنْيَامِينَ. | ١ |
2 The LORD’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
| وَقَدْ أَعْلَنَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ هَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةَ فِي عَهْدِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ. | ٢ |
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
| وَذَلِكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حِقْبَةِ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا وَحَتَّى نِهَايَةِ الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ وِلاَيَةِ صِدْقِيَّا بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، الَّذِي فِيهِ تَمَّ سَبْيُ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣ |
4 Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلاً: | ٤ |
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
| «قَبْلَمَا شَكَّلْتُكَ فِي أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّكَ عَرَفْتُكَ، وَقَبْلَمَا وُلِدْتَ أَفْرَزْتُكَ، وَأَقَمْتُكَ نَبِيّاً لِلأُمَمِ». | ٥ |
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
| فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ إِنِّي لاَ أَعْرِفُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ، لأَنِّي مَازِلْتُ وَلَداً» | ٦ |
7 But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ أَجَابَنِي: «لاَ تَقُلْ إِنِّي لَسْتُ سِوَى وَلَدٍ، لأَنَّكَ سَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَنْ أَبْعَثُ بِكَ إِلَيْهِ، وَتَنْطِقُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. | ٧ |
8 Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
| لاَ تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ». | ٨ |
9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
| ثُمَّ مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَ فَمِي وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أَضَعُ كَلِمَاتِي فِي فَمِكَ. | ٩ |
10 Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
| انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ وَلَّيْتُكَ عَلَى أُمَمٍ وَشُعُوبٍ لِتَسْتَأْصِلَ وَتَهْدِمَ وَتُبَدِّدَ وَتَقْلِبَ وَتَبْنِيَ وَتَغْرِسَ». | ١٠ |
11 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
| وَسَأَلَنِي الرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا تَرَى يَاإِرْمِيَا؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى غُصْنَ لَوْزٍ». | ١١ |
12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
| فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ الرُّؤْيَةَ، لأَنِّي سَاهِرٌ عَلَى كَلِمَتِي لأُتَمِّمَهَا». | ١٢ |
13 The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
| وَعَادَ الرَّبُّ يَسْأَلُنِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى قِدْراً تَغْلِي، وَوَجْهُهَا مُتَحَوِّلٌ عَنِ الشِّمَالِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ». | ١٣ |
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
| فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «مِنَ الشِّمَالِ يَكُونُ تَدَفُّقُ الشَّرِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ |
15 For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
| لأَنِّي هَا أَنَا دَاعٍ جَمِيعَ عَشَائِرِ الْمَمَالِكِ الشِّمَالِيَّةِ لِيَأْتُوا، فَيَنْصِبُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَرْشَهُ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَاتِ مَدِينَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ أَسْوَارِهَا الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهَا وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ١٥ |
16 I will utter my judgements against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
| وَأُصْدِرُ عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمَ قَضَائِي مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ شَرِّهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي، وَأَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 “You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَأَهَّبْ، وَقُمْ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ. لاَ تَخَفْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِمْ لِئَلاَّ أُفْزِعَكَ أَمَامَهُمْ. | ١٧ |
18 For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
| انْظُرْ، هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ قَوِيّاً كَمَدِينَةٍ حَصِينَةٍ، وَكَعَمُودٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَكَأَسْوَارٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، لِتُجَابِهَ كُلَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، وَمُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا وَأُمَرَاءَهَا وَكَهَنَتَهَا وَشَعْبَ الْبِلاَدِ، | ١٨ |
19 They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”
| فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يَقْهَرُونَكَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ لأُنْقِذَكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٩ |
