Jeremiah 7

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

اَلْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

«قِفْ فِي بَابِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَنَادِ هُنَاكَ بِهذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ وَقُلْ: اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا الدَّاخِلِينَ فِي هذِهِ الأَبْوَابِ لِتَسْجُدُوا لِلرَّبِّ.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَصْلِحُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ فَأُسْكِنَكُمْ فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ.

Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.

لاَ تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى كَلاَمِ الْكَذِبِ قَائِلِينَ: هَيْكَلُ الرَّبِّ، هَيْكَلُ الرَّبِّ، هَيْكَلُ الرَّبِّ هُوَ!

For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

لأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ أَصْلَحْتُمْ إِصْلاَحًا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، إِنْ أَجْرَيْتُمْ عَدْلاً بَيْنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَصَاحِبِهِ،

If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

إِنْ لَمْ تَظْلِمُوا الْغَرِيبَ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَالأَرْمَلَةَ، وَلَمْ تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَلَمْ تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لأَذَائِكُمْ

Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

فَإِنِّي أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لآبَائِكُمْ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

« هَا إِنَّكُمْ مُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى كَلاَمِ الْكَذِبِ الَّذِي لاَ يَنْفَعُ.

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

أَتَسْرِقُونَ وَتَقْتُلُونَ وَتَزْنُونَ وَتَحْلِفُونَ كَذِبًا وَتُبَخِّرُونَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَتَسِيرُونَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا،

And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ وَتَقِفُونَ أَمَامِي فِي هذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُونَ: قَدْ أُنْقِذْنَا. حَتَّى تَعْمَلُوا كُلَّ هذِهِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ؟

Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

هَلْ صَارَ هذَا الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي عَلَيْهِ مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ؟ هأَنَذَا أَيْضًا قَدْ رَأَيْتُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

لكِنِ اذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَوْضِعِي الَّذِي فِي شِيلُوهَ الَّذِي أَسْكَنْتُ فِيهِ اسْمِي أَوَّلاً، وَانْظُرُوا مَا صَنَعْتُ بِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

وَالآنَ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِكُمْ هذِهِ الأَعْمَالَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُكَلِّمًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَدَعَوْتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا،

Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

أَصْنَعُ بِالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي عَلَيْهِ الَّذِي أَنْتُمْ مُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَبِالْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ وَآبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهُ، كَمَا صَنَعْتُ بِشِيلُوهَ.

And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي كَمَا طَرَحْتُ كُلَّ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، كُلَّ نَسْلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

وَأَنْتَ فَلاَ تُصَلِّ لأَجْلِ هذَا الشَّعْبِ وَلاَ تَرْفَعْ لأَجْلِهِمْ دُعَاءً وَلاَ صَلاَةً، وَلاَ تُلِحَّ عَلَيَّ لأَنِّي لاَ أَسْمَعُك.

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

«أَمَا تَرَى مَاذَا يَعْمَلُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

الأَبْنَاءُ يَلْتَقِطُونَ حَطَبًا، وَالآبَاءُ يُوقِدُونَ النَّارَ، وَالنِّسَاءُ يَعْجِنَّ الْعَجِينَ، لِيَصْنَعْنَ كَعْكًا لِمَلِكَةِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلِسَكْبِ سَكَائِبَ لآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِكَيْْ يُغِيظُونِي.

Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

أَفَإِيَّايَ يُغِيظُونَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ؟ أَلَيْسَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لأَجْلِ خِزْيِ وُجُوهِهِمْ؟

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي يَنْسَكِبَانِ عَلَى هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، عَلَى النَّاسِ وَعَلَى الْبَهَائِمِ وَعَلَى شَجَرِ الْحَقْلِ وَعَلَى ثَمَرِ الأَرْضِ، فَيَتَّقِدَانِ وَلاَ يَنْطَفِئَانِ.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

« هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ضُمُّوا مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِكُمْ وَكُلُوا لَحْمًا.

For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

لأَنِّي لَمْ أُكَلِّمْ آبَاءَكُمْ وَلاَ أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ جِهَةِ مُحْرَقَةٍ وَذَبِيحَةٍ.

But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

بَلْ إِنَّمَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهذَا الأَمْرِ قَائِلاً: اسْمَعُوا صَوْتِي فَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلهًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا، وَسِيرُوا فِي كُلِّ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ لِيُحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذْنَهُمْ، بَلْ سَارُوا فِي مَشُورَاتِ وَعِنَادِ قَلْبِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَأَعْطَوْا الْقَفَا لاَ الْوَجْهَ.

Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

فَمِنَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ فِيهِ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ، أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ، مُبَكِّرًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَمُرْسِلاً.

Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذُنَهُمْ، بَلْ صَلَّبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ. أَسَاءُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ.

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

فَتُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِكُلِّ هذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَلاَ يَسْمَعُونَ لَكَ، وَتَدْعُوهُمْ وَلاَ يُجِيبُونَكَ.

But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هذِهِ هِيَ الأُمَّةُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِهَا وَلَمْ تَقْبَلْ تَأْدِيبًا. بَادَ الْحَقُّ وَقُطِعَ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ.

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

« جُزِّي شَعْرَكِ وَاطْرَحِيهِ، وَارْفَعِي عَلَى الْهِضَابِ مَرْثَاةً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَ وَرَذَلَ جِيلَ رِجْزِهِ.

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

لأَنَّ بَنِي يَهُوذَا قَدْ عَمِلُوا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. وَضَعُوا مَكْرَهَاتِهِمْ فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي لِيُنَجِّسُوهُ.

And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

وَبَنَوْا مُرْتَفَعَاتِ تُوفَةَ الَّتِي فِي وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ لِيُحْرِقُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ بِالنَّارِ، الَّذِي لَمْ آمُرْ بِهِ وَلاَ صَعِدَ عَلَى قَلْبِي.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

«لِذلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَلاَ يُسَمَّى بَعْدُ تُوفَةُ وَلاَ وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، بَلْ وَادِي الْقَتْلِ. وَيَدْفِنُونَ فِي تُوفَةَ حَتَّى لاَ يَكُونَ مَوْضِعٌ.

And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

وَتَصِيرُ جُثَثُ هذَا الشَّعْبِ أَكْلاً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ، وَلاَ مُزْعِجَ.

Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ صَوْتَ الطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ الْفَرَحِ، صَوْتَ الْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتَ الْعَرُوسِ، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا.
