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

¹The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

⁵thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.

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

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

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

⁷when the king of Babylon's army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fortified cities.

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

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

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

⁹that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, that is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondmen of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother.

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

¹⁰And all the princes and all the people obeyed, that had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondmen of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:

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

¹¹but afterwards 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.

¹²فصارت كلمة الرب الى ارميا من قبل الرب قائلة.

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

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

¹³Thus saith Jehovah, 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 bondage, saying,

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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁶but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

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.

¹⁷Therefore thus saith Jehovah: ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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 food unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.

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

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, that are gone away from you.

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

²²Behold, I will command, saith Jehovah, 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 inhabitant.
