1 ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: «وَإِنْ وَقَفَ مُوسَى وَصَمُوئِيلُ أَمَامِي لاَ تَكُونُ نَفْسِي نَحْوَ هذَا الشَّعْبِ. اِطْرَحْهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي فَيَخْرُجُوا. | 1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. |
|
2 وَيَكُونُ إِذَا قَالُوا لَكَ: إِلَى أَيْنَ نَخْرُجُ؟ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: الَّذِينَ لِلْمَوْتِ فَإِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَالَّذِينَ لِلسَّيْفِ فَإِلَى السَّيْفِ، وَالَّذِينَ لِلْجُوعِ فَإِلَى الْجُوعِ، وَالَّذِينَ لِلسَّبْيِ فَإِلَى السَّبْيِ. | 2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. |
|
3 وَأُوَكِّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَنْوَاعٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: السَّيْفَ لِلْقَتْلِ، وَالْكِلاَبَ لِلسَّحْبِ، وَطُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشَ الأَرْضِ لِلأَكْلِ وَالإِهْلاَكِ. | 3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy. |
|
4 وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ لِلْقَلَقِ فِي كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | 4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. |
|
5 فَمَنْ يَشْفُقُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَمَنْ يُعَزِّيكِ، وَمَنْ يَمِيلُ لِيَسْأَلَ عَنْ سَلاَمَتِكِ؟ | 5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? |
|
6 أَنْتِ تَرَكْتِنِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ سِرْتِ. فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكِ وَأُهْلِكُكِ. مَلِلْتُ مِنَ النَّدَامَةِ. | 6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. |
|
7 وَأُذْرِيهِمْ بِمِذْرَاةٍ فِي أَبْوَابِ الأَرْضِ. أُثْكِلُ وَأُبِيدُ شَعْبِي. لَمْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِهِمْ. | 7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways. |
|
8 كَثُرَتْ لِي أَرَامِلُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ رَمْلِ الْبِحَارِ. جَلَبْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ، عَلَى أُمِّ الشُّبَّانِ، نَاهِبًا فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ. أَوْقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا بَغْتَةً رَعْدَةً وَرُعُبَاتٍ. | 8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. |
|
9 ذَبُلَتْ وَالِدَةُ السَّبْعَةِ. أَسْلَمَتْ نَفْسَهَا. غَرَبَتْ شَمْسُهَا إِذْ بَعْدُ نَهَارٌ. خَزِيَتْ وَخَجِلَتْ. أَمَّا بَقِيَّتُهُمْ فَلِلسَّيْفِ أَدْفَعُهَا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | 9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD. |
|
10 وَيْلٌ لِي يَا أُمِّي لأَنَّكِ وَلَدْتِنِي إِنْسَانَ خِصَامٍ وَإِنْسَانَ نِزَاعٍ لِكُلِّ الأَرْضِ. لَمْ أَقْرِضْ وَلاَ أَقْرَضُونِي، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَلْعَنُنِي. | 10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. |
|
11 قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنِّي أَحُلُّكَ لِلْخَيْرِ. إِنِّي أَجْعَلُ الْعَدُوَّ يَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكَ فِي وَقْتِ الشَّرِّ وَفِي وَقْتِ الضِّيقِ. | 11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. |
|
12 « هَلْ يَكْسِرُ الْحَدِيدُ الْحَدِيدَ الَّذِي مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالنُّحَاسَ؟ | 12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? |
|
13 ثَرْوَتُكَ وَخَزَائِنُكَ أَدْفَعُهَا لِلنَّهْبِ، لاَ بِثَمَنٍ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ خَطَايَاكَ وَفِي كُلِّ تُخُومِكَ. | 13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. |
|
14 وَأُعَبِّرُكَ مَعَ أَعْدَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا، لأَنَّ نَارًا قَدْ أُشْعِلَتْ بِغَضَبِي تُوقَدُ عَلَيْكُمْ». | 14 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you. |
|
15 أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ عَرَفْتَ. اذْكُرْنِي وَتَعَهَّدْنِي وَانْتَقِمْ لِي مِنْ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ. بِطُولِ أَنَاتِكَ لاَ تَأْخُذْنِي. اِعْرِفِ احْتِمَالِي الْعَارَ لأَجْلِكَ. | 15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. |
|
16 وُجِدَ كَلاَمُكَ فَأَكَلْتُهُ، فَكَانَ كَلاَمُكَ لِي لِلْفَرَحِ وَلِبَهْجَةِ قَلْبِي، لأَنِّي دُعِيتُ بِاسْمِكَ يَا رَبُّ إِلهَ الْجُنُودِ. | 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. |
|
17 لَمْ أَجْلِسْ فِي مَحْفَلِ الْمَازِحِينَ مُبْتَهِجًا. مِنْ أَجْلِ يَدِكَ جَلَسْتُ وَحْدِي، لأَنَّكَ قَدْ مَلأْتَنِي غَضَبًا. | 17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. |
|
18 لِمَاذَا كَانَ وَجَعِي دَائِمًا وَجُرْحِي عَدِيمَ الشِّفَاءِ، يَأْبَى أَنْ يُشْفَى؟ أَتَكُونُ لِي مِثْلَ كَاذِبٍ، مِثْلَ مِيَاهٍ غَيْرِ دَائِمَةٍ؟ | 18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? |
|
19 لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ أُرَجِّعْكَ، فَتَقِفْ أَمَامِي. وَإِذَا أَخْرَجْتَ الثَّمِينَ مِنَ الْمَرْذُولِ فَمِثْلَ فَمِي تَكُونُ. هُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنْتَ لاَ تَرْجعُ إِلَيْهِمْ. | 19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. |
|
20 وَأَجْعَلُكَ لِهذَا الشَّعْبِ سُورَ نُحَاسٍ حَصِينًا، فَيُحَارِبُونَكَ وَلاَ يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَيْكَ، لأَنِّي مَعَكَ لأُخَلِّصَكَ وَأُنْقِذَكَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | 20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. |
|
21 فَأُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ يَدِ الأَشْرَارِ وَأَفْدِيكَ مِنْ كَفِّ الْعُتَاةِ». | 21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. |
