¹The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,

¹الكلمة التي صارت الى ارميا من قبل الرب حين كان نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل وكل جيشه وكل ممالك اراضي سلطان يده وكل الشعوب يحاربون اورشليم وكل مدنها قائلة

²Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

²هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل. اذهب وكلم صدقيا ملك يهوذا وقل له. هكذا قال الرب. هانذا ادفع هذه المدينة ليد ملك بابل فيحرقها بالنار.

³And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

³وانت لا تفلت من يده بل تمسك امساكا وتدفع ليده وترى عيناك عيني ملك بابل وتكلمه فما لفم وتذهب الى بابل.

⁴Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

⁴ولكن اسمع كلمة الرب يا صدقيا ملك يهوذا. هكذا قال الرب من جهتك. لا تموت بالسيف.

⁵But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

⁵بسلام تموت وباحراق آبائك الملوك الاولين الذين كانوا قبلك هكذا يحرقون لك ويندبونك قائلين آه يا سيد. لاني انا تكلمت بالكلمة يقول الرب.

⁶Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

⁶فكلم ارميا النبي صدقيا ملك يهوذا بكل هذا الكلام في اورشليم

⁷When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.

⁷اذ كان جيش ملك بابل يحارب اورشليم وكل مدن يهوذا الباقية لخيش وعزيقة. لان هاتين بقيتا في مدن يهوذا مدينتين حصينتين

⁸This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

⁸الكلمة التي صارت الى ارميا من قبل الرب بعد قطع الملك صدقيا عهدا مع كل الشعب الذي في اورشليم لينادوا بالعتق

⁹That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.

⁹ان يطلق كل واحد عبده وكل واحد امته العبراني والعبرانية حرّين حتى لا يستعبدهما اي اخويه اليهوديين احد.

¹⁰Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

¹⁰فلما سمع كل الرؤساء وكل الشعب الذين دخلوا في العهد ان يطلقوا كل واحد عبده وكل واحد امته حرّين ولا يستعبدوهما بعد اطاعوا واطلقوا.

¹¹But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

¹¹ولكنهم عادوا بعد ذلك فارجعوا العبيد والاماء الذين اطلقوهم احرارا واخضعوهم عبيدا واماء

¹²Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

¹²فصارت كلمة الرب الى ارميا من قبل الرب قائلة.

¹³Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

¹³هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل. انا قطعت عهدا مع آبائكم يوم اخرجتهم من ارض مصر من بيت العبيد قائلا

¹⁴At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.

¹⁴في نهاية سبع سنين تطلقون كل واحد اخاه العبراني الذي بيع لك وخدمك ست سنين فتطلقه حرا من عندك. ولكن لم يسمع آباؤكم لي ولا امالوا اذنهم.

¹⁵And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

¹⁵وقد رجعتم انتم اليوم وفعلتم ما هو مستقيم في عينيّ منادين بالعتق كل واحد الى صاحبه وقطعتم عهدا امامي في البيت الذي دعي باسمي.

¹⁶But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

¹⁶ثم عدتم ودنستم اسمي وارجعتم كل واحد عبده وكل واحد امته الذين اطلقتموهم احرارا لانفسهم واخضعتموهم ليكونوا لكم عبيدا واماء.

¹⁷Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁷لذلك هكذا قال الرب. انتم لم تسمعوا لي لتنادوا بالعتق كل واحد الى اخيه وكل واحد الى صاحبه. هانذا انادي لكم بالعتق يقول الرب للسيف والوبإ والجوع واجعلكم قلقا لكل ممالك الارض.

¹⁸And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

¹⁸وادفع الناس الذين تعدوا عهدي الذين لم يقيموا كلام العهد الذي قطعوه امامي. العجل الذي قطعوه الى اثنين وجازوا بين قطعتيه.

¹⁹The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;

¹⁹رؤساء يهوذا ورؤساء اورشليم الخصيان والكهنة وكل شعب الارض الذين جازوا بين قطعتي العجل

²⁰I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

²⁰ادفعهم ليد اعدائهم وليد طالبي نفوسهم فتكون جثثهم أكلا لطيور السماء ووحوش الارض.

²¹And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.

²¹وادفع صدقيا ملك يهوذا ورؤساءه ليد اعدائهم وليد طالبي نفوسهم وليد جيش ملك بابل الذين صعدوا عنكم.

²²Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.

²²هانذا آمر يقول الرب واردهم الى هذه المدينة فيحاربونها وياخذونها ويحرقونها بالنار واجعل مدن يهوذا خربة بلا ساكن
