¹الكلمة التي تكلم بها الرب عن بابل وعن ارض الكلدانيين على يد ارميا النبي

¹The word that Jehovah spake concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.

²اخبروا في الشعوب وأسمعوا وارفعوا راية. أسمعوا لا تخفوا. قولوا أخذت بابل خزي بيل. انسحق مرودخ. خزيت اوثانها انسحقت اصنامها

²Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.

³لانه قد طلعت عليها امة من الشمال هي تجعل ارضها خربة فلا يكون فيها ساكن. من انسان الى حيوان هربوا وذهبوا

³For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast.

⁴في تلك الايام وفي ذلك الزمان يقول الرب يأتي بنو اسرائيل هم وبنو يهوذا معا يسيرون سيرا ويبكون ويطلبون الرب الههم.

⁴In those days, and in that time, saith Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah their God.

⁵يسألون عن طريق صهيون ووجوههم الى هناك قائلين هلم فنلصق بالرب بعهد ابدي لا ينسى.

⁵They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces thitherward, [saying], Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

⁶كان شعبي خرافا ضالة. قد اضلتهم رعاتهم. على الجبال اتاهوهم ساروا من جبل الى اكمة. نسوا مربضهم.

⁶My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting-place.

⁷كل الذين وجدوهم اكلوهم وقال مبغضوهم لا نذنب من اجل انهم اخطأوا الى الرب مسكن البر ورجاء آبائهم الرب.

⁷All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers.

⁸اهربوا من وسط بابل واخرجوا من ارض الكلدانيين وكونوا مثل كراريز امام الغنم

⁸Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.

⁹لاني هانذا اوقظ واصعد على بابل جمهور شعوب عظيمة من ارض الشمال فيصطفون عليها. من هناك تؤخذ. نبالهم كبطل مهلك لا يرجع فارغا.

⁹For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain.

¹⁰وتكون ارض الكلدانيين غنيمة. كل مغتنميها يشبعون يقول الرب.

¹⁰And Chaldea shall be a prey: all that prey upon her shall be satisfied, saith Jehovah.

¹¹لانكم قد فرحتم وشمتم يا ناهبي ميراثي وقفزتم كعجلة في الكلإ وصهلتم كخيل

¹¹Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out [the grain], and neigh as strong horses;

¹²تخزى امكم جدا. تخجل التي ولدتكم. ها آخرة الشعوب برية وارض ناشفة وقفر.

¹²your mother shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

¹³بسبب سخط الرب لا تسكن بل تصير خربة بالتمام. كل مار ببابل يتعجب ويصفر بسبب كل ضرباتها.

¹³Because of the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

¹⁴اصطفوا على بابل حواليها يا جميع الذين ينزعون في القوس. ارموا عليها. لا توفروا السهام لانها قد اخطأت الى الرب.

¹⁴Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Jehovah.

¹⁵اهتفوا عليها حواليها. قد اعطت يدها. سقطت أسسها نقضت اسوارها. لانها نقمة الرب هي فانقموا منها. كما فعلت افعلوا بها.

¹⁵Shout against her round about: she hath submitted herself; her bulwarks are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of Jehovah: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

¹⁶اقطعوا الزارع من بابل وماسك المنجل في وقت الحصاد. من وجه السيف القاسي يرجعون كل واحد الى شعبه ويهربون كل واحد الى ارضه

¹⁶Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

¹⁷اسرائيل غنم متبددة. قد طردته السباع. اولا اكله ملك اشور ثم هذا الاخير نبوخذراصر ملك بابل هرس عظامه.

¹⁷Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

¹⁸لذلك هكذا قال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل. هانذا اعاقب ملك بابل وارضه كما عاقبت ملك اشور.

¹⁸Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

¹⁹وارد اسرائيل الى مسكنه فيرعى كرمل وباشان وفي جبل افرايم وجلعاد تشبع نفسه.

¹⁹And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

²⁰في تلك الايام وفي ذلك الزمان يقول الرب يطلب اثم اسرائيل فلا يكون وخطية يهوذا فلا توجد لاني اغفر لمن ابقيه

²⁰In those days, and in that time, saith Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.

²¹اصعد على ارض مراثايم. عليها وعلى سكان فقود. اخرب وحرم وراءهم يقول الرب وافعل حسب كل ما امرتك به.

²¹Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: slay and utterly destroy after them, saith Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.

²²صوت حرب في الارض وانحطام عظيم.

²²A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

²³كيف قطعت وتحطمت مطرقة كل الارض. كيف صارت بابل خربة بين الشعوب.

²³How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

²⁴قد نصبت لك شركا فعلقت يا بابل وانت لم تعرفي. قد وجدت وأمسكت لانك قد خاصمت الرب.

²⁴I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against Jehovah.

²⁵فتح الرب خزانته واخرج آلات رجزه لان للسيد رب الجنود عملا في ارض الكلدانيين.

²⁵Jehovah hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a work [to do] in the land of the Chaldeans.

²⁶هلم اليها من الاقصى. افتحوا اهرائها. كوّموها عراما وحرّموها ولا تكن لها بقية.

²⁶Come against her from the utmost border; open her store-houses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.

²⁷اهلكوا كل عجولها. لتنزل للذبح. ويل لهم لانه قد اتى يومهم زمان عقابهم.

²⁷Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.

²⁸صوت هاربين وناجين من ارض بابل ليخبروا في صهيون بنقمة الرب الهنا نقمة هيكله.

²⁸The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple.

²⁹ادعوا الى بابل اصحاب القسي. لينزل عليها كل من ينزع في القوس حواليها. لا يكن ناج كافئوها نظير عملها. افعلوا فيها حسب كل ما فعلت. لانها بغت على الرب على قدوس اسرائيل.

²⁹Call together the archers against Babylon, all them that bend the bow; encamp against her round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her; for she hath been proud against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel.

³⁰لذلك يسقط شبانها في الشوارع وكل رجال حربها يهلكون في ذلك اليوم يقول الرب.

³⁰Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith Jehovah.

³¹هانذا عليك ايتها الباغية يقول السيد رب الجنود لانه قد أتى يومك حين عقابي اياك.

³¹Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

³²فيعثر الباغي ويسقط ولا يكون له من يقيمه واشعل نارا في مدنه فتاكل كل ما حواليها

³²And the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him.

³³هكذا قال رب الجنود ان بني اسرائيل وبني يهوذا معا مظلومون وكل الذين سبوهم امسكوهم. ابوا ان يطلقوهم.

³³Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together; and all that took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.

³⁴وليهم قوي. رب الجنود اسمه. يقيم دعواهم لكي يريح الارض ويزعج سكان بابل.

³⁴Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

³⁵سيف على الكلدانيين يقول الرب وعلى سكان بابل وعلى رؤسائها وعلى حكمائها.

³⁵A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

³⁶سيف على المخادعين فيصيرون حمقا. سيف على ابطالها فيرتعبون.

³⁶A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.

³⁷سيف على خيلها وعلى مركباتها وعلى كل اللفيف الذي في وسطها فيصيرون نساء. سيف على خزائنها فتنهب.

³⁷A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.

³⁸حرّ على مياهها فتنشف لانها ارض منحوتات هي وبالاصنام تجنّ.

³⁸A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad over idols.

³⁹لذلك تسكن وحوش القفر مع بنات آوى وتسكن فيها رعال النعام ولا تسكن بعد الى الابد ولا تعمر الى دور فدور.

³⁹Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

⁴⁰كقلب الله سدوم وعمورة ومجاوراتها يقول الرب لا يسكن هناك انسان ولا يتغرب فيها ابن آدم.

⁴⁰As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith Jehovah, so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein.

⁴¹هوذا شعب مقبل من الشمال وامة عظيمة ويوقظ ملوك كثيرون من اقاصي الارض.

⁴¹Behold, a people cometh from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

⁴²يمسكون القوس والرمح. هم قساة لا يرحمون. صوتهم يعج كبحر وعلى خيل يركبون مصطفين كرجل واحد لمحاربتك يا بنت بابل.

⁴²They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

⁴³سمع ملك بابل خبرهم فارتخت يداه. اخذته الضيقة والوجع كماخض

⁴³The king of Babylon hath heard the tidings of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.

⁴⁴ها هو يصعد كأسد من كبرياء الاردن الى مرعى دائم. لاني اغمز واجعلهم يركضون عنه. فمن هو منتخب فاقيمه عليه. لانه من مثلي ومن يحاكمني ومن هو الراعي الذي يقف امامي.

⁴⁴Behold, [the enemy] shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that can stand before me?

⁴⁵لذلك اسمعوا مشورة الرب التي قضى بها على بابل وافكاره التي افتكر بها على ارض الكلدانيين. ان صغار الغنم تسحبهم. انه يخرب مسكنهم عليهم.

⁴⁵Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

⁴⁶من القول أخذت بابل رجفت الارض وسمع صراخ في الشعوب

⁴⁶At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the nations.
