1 ف َلَمّا انتَهَى إرْمِيا مِنَ الكَلامِ مَعَ الشَّعبِ بِكُلِّ كَلامِ إلَهِهِمْ ، الَّذِي أرسَلَهُ إلَهُهُمْ إلَيْهِمْ،

And it came to pass that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, wherewith Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

2 ق الَ عَزَرْيا بْنُ هُوشَعْيا وَيُوحانانُ بْنُ قارِيحَ وَكُلُّ الشَّعبِ لإرْمِيا: «أنتَ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِالكَذِبِ، فَإلَهُنا لَمْ يُرسِلْكَ إلَينا لِتَقُولَ: ‹لا تَذهَبُوا إلَى مِصرَ لِتَستَقِرُّوا هُناكَ.›

then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there;

3 ب ارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيّا يُحَرِّضُكَ عَلَينا حَتَّى يُسَلِّمَنا لِلبابِلِيِّينَ لِيَقتُلُونا أوَ يَسْبُونا إلَى بابِلَ.»

but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.

4 ف َلَمْ يُطِعْ يُوحانانُ بْنُ قارِيحَ وَكُلُّ قادَةِ الجُيُوشِ وَكُلُّ الشَّعبِ اللهَ الَّذِي قالَ لَهُمْ أنْ يَبقَوْا فِي أرْضِ يَهُوذا.

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah.

5 ف َاقتادَ يُوحانانُ بْنُ قارِيحَ وَكُلُّ قادَةِ الجُيُوشِ جَميعَ بَقِيَّةِ يَهُوذا الَّذِينَ رَجِعُوا مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي طُرِدُوا إلَيها، لِيَذْهَبُوا إلَى أرْضِ مِصرَ.

But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah;

6 ا قتادُوا الرِّجالَ وَالنِّساءَ وَالأطفالَ وَبَناتِ المَلِكِ وَجَميعَ الَّذينَ تَرَكَهُمْ نَبُوزَرادانُ مَعَ جَدَلْيا بْنِ أخِيقامَ بْنِ شافانَ. وَكانَ مِنْ بَينَهِمْ إرْمِيا النَّبِيُّ وَبارُوخُ بْنُ نيرِيّا.

the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

7 ف َأتَوْا إلَى أرْضِ مِصرَ لأنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا اللهَ. وَأتَوْا إلَى مَدِينَةِ تَحْفَنْحِيسَ.

and they came into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah: and they came unto Tahpanhes.

8 و َجاءَتْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ إلَى إرْمِيا فِي تَحفَنْحِيسَ، قالَ:

Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 « خُذْ حِجارَةً كَبِيرَةً فِي يَدِكَ، وَاطمُرْها – عَلَى مَرأى مِنْ جَميعِ رِجالِ يَهُوذا – فِي الطَّرِيقِ المَرصُوفِ عِنْدَ مَدخَلِ بَيتِ فِرعَوْنَ فِي تَحفَنْحِيسَ.

Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

10 ث ُمَّ قُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ القَدِيرُ إلَهُ إسْرائِيلَ: سَأستَدْعِي خادِمِي نَبُوخَذْناصَّرَ ملِكَ بابِلَ. وَسَأضَعُ عَرشَهُ فَوقَ هَذِهِ الحِجارَةِ الَّتِي طَمَرْتُها. وَسَأبسِطُ خَيمَتَهُ المَلَكِيَّةَ عَلَيهِمْ.

and say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 ف َسَيَأتِي وَيَضرِبُ أرْضَ مِصرَ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ لِلمَوتِ سَيَمُوتُ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ لِلسَّبيِ سَيُسبَى، وَكُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ لِلمَوتِ فِي المَعرَكَةِ، سَيَمُوتُ فِيها.

And he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; such as are for death shall be given to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

12 و َسَيُشعِلُ النّارَ فِي مَعابِدِ آلِهَةِ مِصرَ، فَيُحرِقُها وَيَسبِيها. وَسَيُنَظِّفُ مِصرَ كَما يُنَظِّفُ الرّاعِي القَملَ مِنْ رِدائِهِ، ثُمَّ يُغادِرُ بِسَلامٍ.

And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

13 س َيُحَطِّمُ أنْصابَ بَيتَ شَمْسَ التَّذْكارِيَّةَ الَّتِي فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَسَيُحرِقُ مَعابِدَ أوثانِ المِصرِيِّينَ بِالنّارِ.›»

He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
