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 that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought 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 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 certainly be taken, and given into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

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

⁴Only, hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus saith Jehovah as to 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 burn for thee; and they will lament for thee, Ah, lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.

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

⁶And the prophet Jeremiah spoke 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

⁷And 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 were amongst the cities of Judah, the fenced cities that were left.

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 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 bondman, and every man his bondmaid, the Hebrew and the Hebrewess, go free, that none should exact service of them, [that is,] 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 that had entered into the covenant obeyed, every man letting his bondman and every man his bondmaid go free, that none should exact service 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 bondmen and the bondmaids whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for bondmen and for bondmaids.

¹²فصارت كلمة الرب الى ارميا من قبل الرب قائلة.

¹²And 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, a Hebrew, who hath sold himself unto thee; 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.

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 you, ye had this day 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:

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

¹⁶but ye have turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and ye have brought them into subjection, to be unto you for bondmen and for bondmaids.

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, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you over to be driven hither and thither 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, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, -- the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

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

¹⁹-- the 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.

²⁰them will I give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their carcases shall be food for the fowl of the heavens and for 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, which are gone up from you.

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

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