1 N ow Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

وَسَمِعَ الكاهِنُ فَشحُورُ بْنُ إمِّيرَ إرْمِيا وَهُوَ يَتَنَبَّأُ بِهَذا الكَلامِ. وَكانَ فَشحُورُ هُوَ المَسؤُولَ الأوَّلَ عَنْ بَيتِ اللهِ.

2 T hen Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were at the upper Benjamin Gate by the house of the Lord.

فَضَرَبَ فَشحُورُ إرْمِيا النَّبِيِّ وَوَضَعَ قَدَمِيهِ بَينَ لَوحَينِ خَشَبِيَّيْنِ كَبِيرَينِ، قُربَ بَوّابَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ العُليا الَّتِي فِي بَيتِ اللهِ.

3 A nd the next day Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, The Lord does not call your name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.

وَفِي اليَومِ الثّانِي، أطلَقَ فَشحُورُ إرْمِيا مِنَ قُيُودِهِ. فَقالَ لَهُ إرْمِيا: «لَنْ يَدعُوَكَ اللهُ فَشحُورَ فِيما بَعْدُ، بَلْ: ‹مَرْعُوبَ.›

4 F or thus says the Lord: Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; they will fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon; he will carry them captive to Babylon and will slay them with the sword.

لأنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: ‹سَآتِي بِالرُّعبِ عَلَيكَ وَعَلَى مَنْ تُحِبُّهُمْ. وَسَتُقتَلُونَ فِي المَعرَكَةِ بِسَيفِ أعدائِكُمْ. وَأنتَ سَتَرَى هَذا بِعَينَيكَ. سَأُسَلِّمُ كُلَّ بَنِي يَهُوذا إلَى مَلِكِ بابِلَ، وَسَأسبِيهِمْ إلَى بابِلَ، فَيَضرِبَهُمْ بِالسَّيفِ.

5 M oreover, I will deliver all the riches of this city—all the results of its labors, all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—into the hand of their enemies, who will make them a prey and plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon.

وَسَأُعطِي لِيَدِ أعدائِهِمْ كُلَّ ثَروَةِ المَدِينَةِ، وَكُلَّ إنتاجِها، وَكُلَّ مُمتَلَكاتِها الثَّمِينَةِ، وَجَميعَ كُنُوزِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذا. فَسَيَسلِبُهُمُ البابِلِيُّونَ، وَسَيَأخُذُونَهُمْ إلَى بابِلَ.

6 A nd you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; you shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied falsely.

وَأنتَ يا فَشحُورُ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعِيشُ فِي بَيتِكَ سَتَذهَبُونَ إلَى السَّبيِ. سَتَذهَبُ إلَى بابِلَ، وَهُناكَ سَتَمُوتُ وَتُدفَنُ، أنتَ وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّهُمْ، وَتَنَبَّأْتَ لَهُمْ بِالكَذِبِ.›» شَكوَى إرْمِيا الخامِسَة

7 O Lord, You have persuaded and deceived me, and I was persuaded and deceived; You are stronger than I am and You have prevailed. I am a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me.

يا اللهُ ، قَدْ أقْنَعتَنِي فَاقتَنَعْتُ، وَأظهَرْتَ لِي قُوَّتَكَ فَغَلَبْتَنِي. صِرتُ أُضحُوكَةً طَوالَ اليَومِ، وَالجَمِيعُ استَهزَأُوا بِي.

8 F or whenever I speak, I must cry out and complain; I shout, Violence and destruction! For the word of the Lord has become to me a reproach and a derision and has brought me insult all day long.

لأنِّي كُلَّما تَكَلَّمْتُ، عَلَيَّ أنْ أصرُخَ صُراخاً وَأقُولُ: «عُنفٌ وَدَمارٌ!» حَتَّى صارَتْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ سَبَبَاً لِعاري وَالسُّخرِيَةِ بِي طَوالَ اليَومِ.

9 I f I say, I will not make mention of or speak any more in His name, in my mind and heart it is as if there were a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I am weary of enduring and holding it in; I cannot.

فَقُلْتُ: «لَنْ أذكُرَهُ، وَلَنْ أتَكَلَّمَ ثانِيَةً بِاسْمِهِ.» فَكانَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ كَنارٍ فِي قَلبِي، تَشتَعِلُ فِي عِظامِي. فَتَعِبْتُ مِنْ حَبسِها فِي داخِلِي. لا أستَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ بَعدُ.

10 F or I have heard many whispering and defaming, terror on every side! Denounce him! Let us denounce him! Say all my familiar friends, they who watch for my fall, Perhaps he will be persuaded and deceived; then we will prevail against him, and we will get our revenge on him.

لأنِّي سَمِعْتُ كَثِيرِينَ يَهمِسُونَ عَنِّي: «إنَّهُ يَنشُرُ الرُّعبَ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ. سَنَشتَكِي عَلَيهِ. نَعَمْ، سَنَشتَكِي عَلَيهِ.» كُلُّ أصحابِي يُراقِبُونَنِي لِيَرَوْا إنْ كُنتُ سَأتَعَثَّرُ. يَقُولُونَ: «لَعَلَّهُ يَنخَدِعُ فَنَقدِرَ أنْ نَهزِمَهُ، وَنَنتَقِمَ مِنهُ.»

11 B ut the Lord is with me as a mighty and terrible One; therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they will not overcome. They will be utterly put to shame, for they will not deal wisely or prosper; their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.

لَكِنَّ اللهَ مَعِي كَمُحارِبٍ مُرعِبٍ. لِذَلِكَ يُخزَى الَّذِينَ يُطارِدُونَنِي، وَلَنْ يَغلِبُونِي. سَيَخجَلُونَ لأنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَنجَحُوا، وَسَيَحمِلُونَ خِزياً أبَدِيّاً لا يُنسَى.

12 B ut, O Lord of hosts, You Who try the righteous, Who see the heart and the mind, let me see Your vengeance on them, for to You have I revealed and committed my cause.

أيُّها الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، يا مُختَبِرَ الأبرارِ، وَالعارِفُ رَغَباتِ الإنسانِ وَأفكارِهِ، أرِنِي انتِقامَكَ مِنهُمْ. فَإنِّي أُقَدِّمُ شَكوايَ لَكَ وَحدَكَ.

13 S ing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For He has delivered the life of the poor and needy from the hands of evildoers.

رَنِّمُوا للهِ ، سَبِّحُوا اللهَ ، لأنَّهُ أنقَذَ حَياةَ المِسكِينِ مِنْ أيدِي الأشرارِ. شَكوَى إرْمِيا السّادِسَة

14 C ursed be the day on which I was born! Let not the day on which my mother bore me be blessed!

لِيَكُنِ اليَومُ الَّذِي وُلِدتُ فِيهِ مَلعُوناً، وَليَكُنِ اليَومُ الَّذِي وَلَدَتنِي فِيهِ أُمِّي غَيرَ مُبارَكٍ.

15 C ursed be the man who brought the tidings to my father, saying, A son is born to you!—making him very glad.

مَلعُونٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ أبِي وَقالَ لَهُ: «وُلِدَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ،» مُفَرِّحاً إيّاهُ فَرَحاً عَظِيماً.

16 A nd let that man be like the cities which the Lord overthrew, and did not relent. Let him hear the cry in the morning and the shouting of alarm at noon,

لِيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ كَالمُدُنِ الَّتِي قَلَبَها اللهُ بِلا شَفَقَةٍ، وَلْيَسمَعْ صَرخَةَ ضِيقٍ فِي الصَّباحِ، وَبُوقَ إنْذارٍ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ.

17 B ecause he did not slay me in the womb, so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always great.

لأنَّهُ لَمْ يَقتُلنِي عِندَما وُلِدتُ. لَكانَتْ أُمِّي هِيَ قَبرِي، فَلا تُنْجِبُنِي إلَى الأبَدِ.

18 W hy did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?

لِماذا خَرَجتُ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ لأرَى هَذا الضِّيقَ وَالحُزنَ، وَأُمضِيَ بَقِيَّةَ أيّامِي فِي خِزيٍ؟
