Jeremiah 19

هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ وَاشْتَرِ إِبْرِيقَ فَخَّارِيٍّ مِنْ خَزَفٍ، وَخُذْ مِنْ شُيُوخِ الشَّعْبِ وَمِنْ شُيُوخِ الْكَهَنَةِ،

Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

وَاخْرُجْ إِلَى وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ الْفَخَّارِ، وَنَادِ هُنَاكَ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي أُكَلِّمُكَ بِهَا.

And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

وَقُلِ: اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا مُلُوكَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ عَلَى هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ شَرًّا، كُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذْنَاهُ.

And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُونِي، وَأَنْكَرُوا هذَا الْمَوْضِعَ وَبَخَّرُوا فِيهِ لآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا هُمْ وَلاَ آبَاؤُهُمْ وَلاَ مُلُوكُ يَهُوذَا، وَمَلأُوا هذَا الْمَوْضِعَ مِنْ دَمِ الأَزْكِيَاءِ،

Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

وَبَنَوْا مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ لِلْبَعْلِ لِيُحْرِقُوا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلْبَعْلِ، الَّذِي لَمْ أُوْصِ وَلاَ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ وَلاَ صَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِي.

They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

لِذلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَلاَ يُدْعَى بَعْدُ هذَا الْمَوْضِعُ تُوفَةَ وَلاَ وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، بَلْ وَادِي الْقَتْلِ.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

وَأَنْقُضُ مَشُورَةَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ يَسْقُطُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَبِيَدِ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَأَجْعَلُ جُثَثَهُمْ أُكْلاً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ.

And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

وَأَجْعَلُ هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ لِلدَّهَشِ وَالصَّفِيرِ. كُلُّ عَابِرٍ بِهَا يَدْهَشُ وَيَصْفِرُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ ضَرَبَاتِهَا.

And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

وَأُطْعِمُهُمْ لَحْمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَلَحْمَ بَنَاتِهِمْ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لَحْمَ صَاحِبِهِ فِي الْحِصَارِ وَالضِّيقِ الَّذِي يُضَايِقُهُمْ بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ وَطَالِبُو نُفُوسِهِمْ.

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

ثُمَّ تَكْسِرُ الإِبْرِيقَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ مَعَكَ

Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,

وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: هكَذَا أَكْسِرُ هذَا الشَّعْبَ وَهذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ كَمَا يُكْسَرُ وِعَاءُ الْفَخَّارِيِّ بِحَيْثُ لاَ يُمْكِنُ جَبْرُهُ بَعْدُ، وَفِي تُوفَةَ يُدْفَنُونَ حَتَّى لاَ يَكُونَ مَوْضِعٌ لِلدَّفْنِ.

And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

هكَذَا أَصْنَعُ لِهذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَلِسُكَّانِهِ. وَأَجْعَلُ هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ مِثْلَ تُوفَةَ.

Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

وَتَكُونُ بُيُوتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبُيُوتُ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا كَمَوْضِعِ تُوفَةَ، نَجِسَةً كُلُّ الْبُيُوتِ الَّتِي بَخَّرُوا عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ وَسَكَبُوا سَكَائِبَ لآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى».

And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ تُوفَةَ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهَا لِيَتَنَبَّأَ، وَوَقَفَ فِي دَارِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ:

Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people,

«هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ عَلَى هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ قُرَاهَا كُلَّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا، لأَنَّهُمْ صَلَّبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِكَلاَمِي».

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
