ﺃﺭﻣﻴﺎء 17 ~ Jeremiah 17

picture

1 « خَطِيَّةُ يَهُوذا مَكتُوبَةٌ بِقَلَمٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، كُتِبَتْ بِقَلَمٍ مَعدِنِيٍّ عَلَى لَوحِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَعَلَى زَوايا مَذابِحِهِمْ.

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

2 ي َتَذَكَّرُ بَنُوهُمْ مَذابِحَهُمْ وَأنصابَ عَشْتَرُوتَ، بِجانِبِ الأشجارِ المُورِقَةِ عَلَى التِّلالِ العالِيَةِ،

whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.

3 و َعَلَى المُرتَفَعاتِ وَفِي الحُقُولِ. أمّا ثَروَتُكُمْ وَكُنُوزُكُمْ، فَسَأُعطِيها لآخَرِينَ مَجّاناً، بِسَبَبِ الخَطيَّةِ الَّتِي فِي أرْضِكَ.

O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.

4 س َتَخسَرُ مِيراثَكَ الَّذِي أعطَيتُهُ لَكَ بِسَبِبِ أعمالِكَ. وَسَأجعَلُكَ تَخدِمُ أعداءَكَ فِي أرْضٍ لا تَعرِفُها. لأنَّ غَضَبِي كَنارٍ تَشتَعِلُ إلَى الأبَدِ.» الثِّقَةُ بِالله

And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever.

5 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «مَلعُونٌ مَنْ يَثِقُ بِبَشَرٍ، وَيَتَّكِلُ عَلَى النّاسِ طَلَباً للقُوَّةِ، وَيَبْتَعِدُ قَلْبُهُ عَنِ اللهِ.

Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.

6 س َيَصِيرُ مِثلَ شُجَيرَةٍ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، وَلَنْ يَرَى الخَيرَ عِندَما يَجِيءُ، وَيَسكُنُ فِي الأراضِي الحارَّةِ فِي الصَّحراءِ، فِي أرْضٍ مالِحَةٍ وَغَيرِ مَسكُونَةٍ.

For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.

7 م ُبارَكٌ الإنسانُ الَّذِي يَثِقُ بِاللهِ ، وَيَتَّكِلُ عَلَى اللهِ.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.

8 س َيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغرُوسَةٍ بِجانِبِ الماءِ، تُرسِلُ جُذُورَها بِجِوارِ النَّهرِ، وَلا تَخافُ مِنَ الحَرِّ عِندَما يَأتِي، وَهِيَ مُغَطّاةٌ بِالوَرَقِ الأخضَرِ، وَفِي سَنَةِ القَحطِ لا تَقلَقُ، وَلا تَتَوَقَّفُ عَنْ حَملِ الثَّمَرِ.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 « القَلبُ أخدَعُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيءٍ، وَلا يُمكِنُ شِفاؤُهُ. مَنْ يَستَطِيعُ فَهمَهُ؟

The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

10 أ نا اللهَ أمتَحِنُ القُلُوبَ، وَأختَبِرُ الرَّغَباتِ، كَي أُكافِئَ الإنسانَ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِ وَبِحَسَبِ أعمالِهِ.

I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

11 م ِثلُ حَجَلَةٍ تَحْضُنُ بُيوضاً لَيسَتْ لَها، هَكَذا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُصبِحُ غَنِيّاً بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ. سَيَزُولُ غِناهُ فِي وَسَطِ حَياتِهِ، وَسَيَبدُو أحْمَقَ فِي النِّهايَةِ.»

As the partridge that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

12 ع َرشٌ مَجِيدٌ مُرتَفِعٌ مِنَ البِدايَةِ هُوَ هَيكَلُنا المُقَدَّسُ.

A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

13 ا للهُ هُوَ رَجاءُ إسْرائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَترُكُهُ سَيُخزَى. الَّذِينَ يَبتَعِدُونَ عَنِّي فِي الأرْضِ سَتُكتَبُ أسماؤُهُمْ عَلَى الرَّملِ. كُلُّ هَذا لأنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا اللهَ يُنبُوعَ الماءِ الحَيِّ.» شَكوَى إرْمِيا الثّالِثَة

O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be put to shame. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.

14 ا شفِنِي يا اللهُ ، حِينَئِذٍ، سَأُشفَى. خَلِّصْنِي، حِينَئِذٍ، سَأخلُصُ. هَذا لأنَّكَ أنتَ مَنْ أُسَبِّحُهُ.

Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

15 ا نظُرْ كَيفَ يَقُولُونَ لِي: «أينَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ وَوَعدُهُ؟ لِيَأتِيا.»

Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it come now.

16 ل َكِنِّي لَمْ أتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ أنْ أكُونَ راعِياً عِنْدَكَ، وَلَمْ أرغَبْ فِي مَجِيءِ يَومِ الكارِثَةِ. أنتَ تَعرِفُ كُلَّ ما أقُولُهُ، وَهُوَ واضِحٌ جِدّاً لَكَ.

As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.

17 ل ا تُرعِبْنِي، أنتَ مَلْجَأِي فِي وَقتِ الكارِثَةِ.

Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.

18 ل ِيَخزَ الَّذِينَ يَتبَعُونَنِي، أمّا أنا، فَلا تَسْمَحْ بِأنْ أُخزَى. لِيَرتَعِبُوا، أمّا أنا، فَلا تَسْمَحْ بِأنْ أرتَعِبَ. اجلِبْ عَلَيهِمْ وَقتَ مُعاناةٍ، وَحَطِّمهُمْ تَحطِيماً مُضاعَفاً. حِفظُ يَومِ السَّبت

Let them be put to shame that persecute me, but let not me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

19 ه َذا هُوَ ما قالَهُ اللهُ لِي: «اذْهَبْ وَقِفْ فِي بَوّابَةِ الشَّعبِ الَّتِي يَدخُلُ مِنها مُلُوكُ يَهُوذا وَمِنها يَخرُجُونَ. وَقِفْ فِي كُلِّ بَوّاباتِ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.»

Thus said Jehovah unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

20 « وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: اسمَعُوا رِسالَةَ اللهِ يا كُلَّ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذا، وَكُلَّ بَنِي يَهُوذا، وَكُلَّ سُكّانِ القُدْسِ، وَيا كُلَّ الدّاخِلِينَ عَبْرَ هَذِهِ البَوّأباتِ،

and say unto them, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

21 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: ‹احمُوا أنفُسَكُمْ، وَلا تَحمِلُوا شَيئاً يَومَ السَّبتِ، وَلا تَدْخُلُوا البَضائِعَ عَبرَ بَوّاباتِ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

Thus saith Jehovah, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

22 و َلا تُخرِجُوا البَضائِعَ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ يَومَ السَّبتِ، وَلا تَعمَلُوا. خَصِّصُوا يَومَ السَّبتِ لِي كَما أمَرْتُ آباؤُكُمْ.›

neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work: but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

23 و َلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسمَعُوا وَلَمْ يَفتَحُوا آذانَهُمْ، بَلْ قَسَّوْا رِقابَهُمْ وَتَجاهَلُوا وَلَمْ يَصغُوا لِكَلامِي.

But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

24 ل َكِنْ إنِ استَمَعتُمْ إلِيَّ، يَقُولُ اللهُ ، فَلَمْ تُدخِلُوا البَضائِعَ عَبْرَ بَوّاباتِ هَذِهِ المَدِينَةِ يَومَ السَّبتِ، بَلْ خَصَّصْتُمُ السَّبتَ لِي فَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا فِيهِ،

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

25 ف َإنَّ مُلُوكاً يَجلِسُونَ عَلَى عَرْشِ داوُدَ سَيَدْخُلُونَ عَبْرَ بَوّاباتِ القُدْسِ راكِبِينَ عَرَباتٍ وَخُيُولاً. سَيَدخُلُ هَؤُلاءِ مَعَ رُؤَسائِهِمْ وَرِجالِ يَهُوذا وَسُكّانِ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَسَتُسكَنُ هَذِهِ المَدِينَةُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain for ever.

26 و َسَيَأتِي أُناسٌ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذا وَمِنَ المَناطِقِ المُحِيطَةِ بِمَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، وَمِنْ أرْضِ بَنْيامِيْنَ وَمِنَ السُّهُولِ الغَربِيَّةِ وَمِنْ مِنطَقَةِ التِّلالِ وَمِنَ النَّقَبِ إلَى بَيتِ اللهِ بِذَبائِحَ وَأضاحِي وَقَرابِينَ وَبَخُورٍ وَذَبائِحِ شُكرٍ.

And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meal-offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, unto the house of Jehovah.

27 « ‹وَلَكِنْ إنْ لَمْ تَستَمِعُوا إلَيَّ، بِأنْ تُخَصِّصُوا السَّبتَ لِي، وَبِأنْ لا تُدخِلُوا البَضائِعَ عَبرَ بَوّاباتِ القُدْسِ يَومَ السَّبتِ، فَسَأُشعِلُ ناراً فِي بَوّاباتِها، فَتَلتَهِمَ قِلاعَ المَدينَةِ، وَلَنْ تُطفَأ.›»

But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
