Jeremiah 49

عَنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ: «هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: أَلَيْسَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ بَنُونَ، أَوْ لاَ وَارِثٌ لَهُ؟ لِمَاذَا يَرِثُ مَلِكُهُمْ جَادَ، وَشَعْبُهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي مُدُنِهِ؟

Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

لِذلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأُسْمِعُ فِي رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ جَلَبَةَ حَرْبٍ، وَتَصِيرُ تَلاًّ خَرِبًا، وَتُحْرَقُ بَنَاتُهَا بِالنَّارِ، فَيَرِثُ إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِينَ وَرِثُوهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.

وَلْوِلِي يَا حَشْبُونُ لأَنَّ عَايَ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ. اُصْرُخْنَ يَا بَنَاتِ رَبَّةَ. تَنَطَّقْنَ بِمُسُوحٍ. انْدُبْنَ وَطَوِّفْنَ بَيْنَ الْجُدْرَانِ، لأَنَّ مَلِكَهُمْ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى السَّبْيِ هُوَ وَكَهَنَتُهُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ مَعًا.

Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.

مَا بَالُكِ تَفْتَخِرِينَ بِالأَوْطِيَةِ؟ قَدْ فَاضَ وَطَاؤُكِ دَمًا أَيَّتُهَا الْبِنْتُ الْمُرْتَدَّةُ وَالْمُتَوَكِّلَةُ عَلَى خَزَائِنِهَا، قَائِلَةً: مَنْ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ؟

Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

هأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكِ خَوْفًا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ حَوَالَيْكِ، وَتُطْرَدُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَا أَمَامَهُ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ التَّائِهِينَ.

Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.

عَنْ أَدُومَ: «هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: أَلاَ حِكْمَةَ بَعْدُ فِي تِيْمَانَ؟ هَلْ بَادَتِ الْمَشُورَةُ مِنَ الْفُهَمَاءِ؟ هَلْ فَرَغَتْ حِكْمَتُهُمْ؟

Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

اُهْرُبُوا. الْتَفِتُوا. تَعَمَّقُوا فِي السَّكَنِ يَا سُكَّانَ دَدَانَ، لأَنِّي قَدْ جَلَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَلِيَّةَ عِيسُو حِينَ عَاقَبْتُهُ.

Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.

لَوْ أَتَاكَ الْقَاطِفُونَ، أَفَمَا كَانُوا يَتْرُكُونَ عُلاَلَةً؟ أَوِ اللُّصُوصُ لَيْلاً، أَفَمَا كَانُوا يُهْلِكُونَ مَا يَكْفِيهِمْ؟

If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.

وَلكِنَّنِي جَرَّدْتُ عِيسُوَ، وَكَشَفْتُ مُسْتَتَرَاتِهِ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَخْتَبِئَ. هَلَكَ نَسْلُهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَجِيرَانُهُ، فَلاَ يُوجَدُ.

But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

اُتْرُكْ أَيْتَامَكَ أَنَا أُحْيِيهِمْ، وَأَرَامِلُكَ عَلَيَّ لِيَتَوَكَّلْنَ.

Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: هَا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لاَ حَقَّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا الْكَأْسَ قَدْ شَرِبُوا، فَهَلْ أَنْتَ تَتَبَرَّأُ تَبَرُّؤًا؟ لاَ تَتَبَرَّأُ! بَلْ إِنَّمَا تَشْرَبُ شُرْبًا.

For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.

لأَنِّي بِذَاتِي حَلَفْتُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّ بُصْرَةَ تَكُونُ دَهَشًا وَعَارًا وَخَرَابًا وَلَعْنَةً، وَكُلَُّ مُدُنِهَا تَكُونُ خِرَبًا أَبَدِيَّةً.

For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

قَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرًا مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَأُرْسِلَ رَسُولٌ إِلَى الأُمَمِ قَائِلاً: تَجَمَّعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا عَلَيْهَا، وَقُومُوا لِلْحَرْبِ.

I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

لأَنِّي هَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيرًا بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ، وَمُحْتَقَرًا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.

For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.

قَدْ غَرَّكَ تَخْوِيفُكَ، كِبْرِيَاءُ قَلْبِكَ، يَا سَاكِنُ فِي مَحَاجِئِ الصَّخْرِ، الْمَاسِكَ مُرْتَفَعِ الأَكَمَةِ. وَإِنْ رَفَعْتَ كَنَسْرٍ عُشَّكَ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُحْدِرُكَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

وَتَصِيرُ أَدُومُ عَجَبًا. كُلُّ مَارّ بِهَا يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ ضَرَبَاتِهَا!

Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

كَانْقِلاَبِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَمُجَاوَرَاتِهِمَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لاَ يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ وَلاَ يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ.

As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.

هُوَذَا يَصْعَدُ كَأَسَدٍ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى مَرْعًى دَائِمٍ. لأَنِّي أَغْمِزُ وَأَجْعَلُهُ يَرْكُضُ عَنْهُ. فَمَنْ هُوَ مُنْتَخَبٌ، فَأُقِيمَهُ عَلَيْهِ؟ لأَنَّهُ مَنْ مِثْلِي؟ وَمَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ الرَّاعِي الَّذِي يَقِفُ أَمَامِي؟

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

لِذلِكَ اسْمَعُوا مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي قَضَى بِهَا عَلَى أَدُومَ، وَأَفْكَارَهُ الَّتِي افْتَكَرَ بِهَا عَلَى سُكَّانِ تِيمَانَ: إِنَّ صِغَارَ الْغَنَمِ تَسْحَبُهُمْ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرِبُ مَسْكَنَهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.

مِنْ صَوْتِ سُقُوطِهِمْ رَجَفَتِ الأَرْضُ. صَرْخَةٌ سُمِعَ صَوْتُهَا فِي بَحْرِ سُوفَ.

The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

هُوَذَا كَنَسْرٍ يَرْتَفِعُ وَيَطِيرُ وَيَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى بُصْرَةَ، وَيَكُونُ قَلْبُ جَبَابِرَةِ أَدُومَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ كَقَلْبِ امْرَأَةٍ مَاخِضٍ».

Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

عَنْ دِمَشْقَ: «خَزِيَتْ حَمَاةُ وَأَرْفَادُ. قَدْ ذَابُوا لأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَمِعُوا خَبَرًا رَدِيئًا. فِي الْبَحْرِ اضْطِرَابٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْهُدُوءَ.

Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

ارْتَخَتْ دِمَشْقُ وَالْتَفَتَتْ لِلْهَرَبِ. أَمْسَكَتْهَا الرِّعْدَةُ، وَأَخَذَهَا الضِّيقُ وَالأَوْجَاعُ كَمَاخِضٍ.

Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.

كَيْفَ لَمْ تُتْرَكِ الْمَدِينَةُ الشَّهِيرَةُ، قَرْيَةُ فَرَحِي؟

How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

لِذلِكَ تَسْقُطُ شُبَّانُهَا فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، وَتَهْلِكُ كُلُّ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ.

Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

وَأُشْعِلُ نَارًا فِي سُورِ دِمَشْقَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ بَنْهَدَدَ».

And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben–hadad.

عَنْ قِيدَارَ وَعَنْ مَمَالِكِ حَاصُورَ الَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ: «هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: قُومُوا اصْعَدُوا إِلَى قِيدَارَ. اخْرِبُوا بَنِي الْمَشْرِقِ.

Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.

يَأْخُذُونَ خِيَامَهُمْ وَغَنَمَهُمْ، وَيَأْخُذُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ شُقَقَهُمْ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِمْ وَجِمَالَهُمْ، وَيُنَادُونَ إِلَيْهِمِ: الْخَوْفَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.

Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.

«اُهْرُبُوا. انْهَزِمُوا جِدًّا. تَعَمَّقُوا فِي السَّكَنِ يَا سُكَّانَ حَاصُورَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ أَشَارَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَشُورَةً، وَفَكَّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِكْرًا.

Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

قُومُوا اصْعَدُوا إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ سَاكِنَةٍ آمِنَةٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لاَ مَصَارِيعَ وَلاَ عَوَارِضَ لَهَا. تَسْكُنُ وَحْدَهَا.

Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

وَتَكُونُ جِمَالُهُمْ نَهْبًا، وَكَثْرَةُ مَاشِيَتِهِمْ غَنِيمَةً، وَأُذْرِي لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ مَقْصُوصِي الشَّعْرِ مُسْتَدِيرًا، وَآتِي بِهَلاَكِهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَاتِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.

وَتَكُونُ حَاصُورُ مَسْكَنَ بَنَاتِ آوَى، وَخَرِبَةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ. لاَ يَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلاَ يَتَغَرَّبُ فِيهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ».

And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.

كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ عَلَى عِيلاَمَ، فِي ابْتِدَاءِ مُلْكِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلَةً:

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

«هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: هأَنَذَا أُحَطِّمُ قَوْسَ عِيلاَمَ أَوَّلَ قُوَّتِهِمْ.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى عِيلاَمَ أَرْبَعَ رِيَاحٍ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأُذْرِيهِمْ لِكُلِّ هذِهِ الرِّيَاحِ وَلاَ تَكُونُ أُمَّةٌ إِلاَّ وَيَأْتِي إِلَيْهَا مَنْفِيُّو عِيلاَمَ.

And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

وَأَجْعَلُ الْعِيلاَمِيِّينَ يَرْتَعِبُونَ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَأَمَامَ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا، حُمُوَّ غَضَبِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. وَأُرْسِلُ وَرَاءَهُمُ السَّيْفَ حَتَّى أَُفْنِيَهُمْ.

For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

وَأَضَعُ كُرْسِيِّي فِي عِيلاَمَ، وَأُبِيدُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ الْمَلِكَ وَالرُّؤَسَاءَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.

«وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ عِيلاَمَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
