JEREMIAH 10

أرميا 10

1  Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.

1  اِسْمَعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2  Thus says the Lord: "Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.

2  هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: [لاَ تَتَعَلَّمُوا طَرِيقَ الأُمَمِ وَمِنْ آيَاتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ لاَ تَرْتَعِبُوا لأَنَّ الأُمَمَ تَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهَا.

3  For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

3  لأَنَّ فَرَائِضَ الأُمَمِ بَاطِلَةٌ. لأَنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ يَقْطَعُونَهَا مِنَ الْوَعْرِ. صَنْعَةُ يَدَيْ نَجَّارٍ بِالْقَدُومِ.

4  They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple.

4  بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ يُزَيِّنُونَهَا وَبِالْمَسَامِيرِ وَالْمَطَارِقِ يُشَدِّدُونَهَا فَلاَ تَتَحَرَّكُ.

5  They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good."

5  هِيَ كَاللَّعِينِ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ فَلاَ تَتَكَلَّمُ! تُحْمَلُ حَمْلاً لأَنَّهَا لاَ تَمْشِي! لاَ تَخَافُوهَا لأَنَّهَا لاَ تَضُرُّ وَلاَ فِيهَا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ خَيْراً].

6  Inasmuch as there is none like You, O Lord (You are great, and Your name is great in might),

6  لاَ مِثْلَ لَكَ يَا رَبُّ! عَظِيمٌ أَنْتَ وَعَظِيمٌ اسْمُكَ فِي الْجَبَرُوتِ.

7  Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.

7  مَنْ لاَ يَخَافُكَ يَا مَلِكَ الشُّعُوبِ؟ لأَنَّهُ بِكَ يَلِيقُ. لأَنَّهُ فِي جَمِيعِ حُكَمَاءِ الشُّعُوبِ وَفِي كُلِّ مَمَالِكِهِمْ لَيْسَ مِثْلَكَ.

8  But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.

8  بَلِدُوا وَحَمِقُوا مَعاً. أَدَبُ أَبَاطِيلَ هُوَ الْخَشَبُ.

9  Silver is beaten into plates; It is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of the craftsman And of the hands of the metalsmith; Blue and purple are their clothing; They are all the work of skillful men.

9  فِضَّةٌ مُطَرَّقَةٌ تُجْلَبُ مِنْ تَرْشِيشَ وَذَهَبٌ مِنْ أُوفَازَ صَنْعَةُ صَانِعٍ وَيَدَيْ صَائِغٍ. أَسْمَانْجُونِيٌّ وَأُرْجُوَانٌ لِبَاسُهَا. كُلُّهَا صَنْعَةُ حُكَمَاءَ.

10  But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

10  أَمَّا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ فَحَقٌّ. هُوَ إِلَهٌ حَيٌّ وَمَلِكٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. مِنْ سُخْطِهِ تَرْتَعِدُ الأَرْضُ وَلاَ تَطِيقُ الأُمَمُ غَضَبَهُ.

11  Thus you shall say to them: "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens."

11  هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ: [الآلِهَةُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَصْنَعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ تَبِيدُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ هَذِهِ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

12  He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.

12  صَانِعُ الأَرْضِ بِقُوَّتِهِ مُؤَسِّسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ بِحِكْمَتِهِ وَبِفَهْمِهِ بَسَطَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

13  When He utters His voice, There is a multitude of waters in the heavens: "And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries."

13  إِذَا أَعْطَى قَوْلاً تَكُونُ كَثْرَةُ مِيَاهٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُصْعِدُ السَّحَابَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. صَنَعَ بُرُوقاً لِلْمَطَرِ وَأَخْرَجَ الرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ.

14  Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them.

14  بَلِدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ. خَزِيَ كُلُّ صَائِغٍ مِنَ التِّمْثَالِ لأَنَّ مَسْبُوكَهُ كَذِبٌ وَلاَ رُوحَ فِيهِ.

15  They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.

15  هِيَ بَاطِلَةٌ صَنْعَةُ الأَضَالِيلِ. فِي وَقْتِ عِقَابِهَا تَبِيدُ.

16  The Portion of Jacob is not like them, For He is the Maker of all things, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; The Lord of hosts is His name.

16  لَيْسَ كَهَذِهِ نَصِيبُ يَعْقُوبَ. لأَنَّهُ مُصَوِّرُ الْجَمِيعِ وَإِسْرَائِيلُ قَضِيبُ مِيرَاثِهِ. رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ اسْمُهُ.

17  Gather up your wares from the land, O inhabitant of the fortress!

17  اِجْمَعِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ حُزَمَكِ أَيَّتُهَا السَّاكِنَةُ فِي الْحِصَارِ.

18  For thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will throw out at this time The inhabitants of the land, And will distress them, That they may find it so."

18  لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: [هَئَنَذَا رَامٍ مِنْ مِقْلاَعٍ سُكَّانَ الأَرْضِ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ وَأُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِكَيْ يَشْعُرُوا].

19  Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is severe. But I say, "Truly this is an infirmity, And I must bear it."

19  وَيْلٌ لِي مِنْ أَجْلِ سَحْقِي! ضَرْبَتِي عَدِيمَةُ الشِّفَاءِ! فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ مُصِيبَةٌ فَأَحْتَمِلُهَا.

20  My tent is plundered, And all my cords are broken; My children have gone from me, And they are no more. There is no one to pitch my tent anymore, Or set up my curtains.

20  خَيْمَتِي خَرِبَتْ وَكُلُّ أَطْنَابِي قُطِعَتْ. بَنِيَّ خَرَجُوا عَنِّي وَلَيْسُوا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَبْسُطُ بَعْدُ خَيْمَتِي وَيُقِيمُ شُقَقِي.

21  For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the Lord; Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered.

21  لأَنَّ الرُّعَاةَ بَلِدُوا وَالرَّبَّ لَمْ يَطْلُبُوا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنْجَحُوا وَكُلُّ رَعِيَّتِهِمْ تَبَدَّدَتْ.

22  Behold, the noise of the report has come, And a great commotion out of the north country, To make the cities of Judah desolate, a den of jackals.

22  هُوَذَا صَوْتُ خَبَرٍ جَاءَ وَاضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ لِجَعْلِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا خَرَاباً مَأْوَى بَنَاتِ آوَى.

23  O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.

23  عَرَفْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلإِنْسَانِ طَرِيقُهُ. لَيْسَ لإِنْسَانٍ يَمْشِي أَنْ يَهْدِيَ خَطَوَاتِهِ.

24  O Lord, correct me, but with justice; Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.

24  أَدِّبْنِي يَا رَبُّ وَلَكِنْ بِالْحَقِّ لاَ بِغَضَبِكَ لِئَلاَّ تُفْنِيَنِي.

25  Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, who do not know You, And on the families who do not call on Your name; For they have eaten up Jacob, Devoured him and consumed him, And made his dwelling place desolate.

25  اُسْكُبْ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ وَعَلَى الْعَشَائِرِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِكَ. لأَنَّهُمْ أَكَلُوا يَعْقُوبَ. أَكَلُوهُ وَأَفْنُوهُ وَأَخْرَبُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.
