| 1 أبر انت يا رب من ان اخاصمك. لكن اكلمك من جهة احكامك. لماذا تنجح طريق الاشرار. اطمأن كل الغادرين غدرا. | 1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I complain to thee; yet I would plead my case before thee. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? |
| 2 غرستهم فاصّلوا نموا واثمروا ثمرا. انت قريب في فمهم وبعيد من كلاهم. | 2 Thou plantest them, and they take root; they grow and bring forth fruit; thou art near in their mouth and far from their heart. |
| 3 وانت يا رب عرفتني رأيتني واختبرت قلبي من جهتك. افرزهم كغنم للذبح وخصصهم ليوم القتل. | 3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest my mind toward thee. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and set them apart for the day of slaughter. |
| 4 حتى متى تنوح الارض وييبس عشب كل الحقل. من شر الساكنين فيها فنيت البهائم والطيور لانهم قالوا لا يرى آخرتنا. | 4 How long will the land mourn, and the grass of every field wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it the beasts and the birds are swept away, because men said, "He will not see our latter end." |
| 5 ان جريت مع المشاة فاتعبوك فكيف تباري الخيل. وان كنت منبطحا في ارض السلام فكيف تعمل في كبرياء الاردن. | 5 "If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? And if in a safe land you fall down, how will you do in the jungle of the Jordan? |
| 6 لان اخوتك انفسهم وبيت ابيك قد غادروك هم ايضا. هم ايضا نادوا وراءك بصوت عال. لا تأتمنهم اذا كلموك بالخير | 6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; they are in full cry after you; believe them not, though they speak fair words to you." |
| 7 قد تركت بيتي رفضت ميراثي دفعت حبيبة نفسي ليد اعدائها. | 7 "I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my heritage; I have given the beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies. |
| 8 صار لي ميراثي كاسد في الوعر. نطق علي بصوته. من اجل ذلك ابغضته. | 8 My heritage has become to me like a lion in the forest, she has lifted up her voice against me; therefore I hate her. |
| 9 جارحة ضبع ميراثي لي. الجوارح حواليه عليه. هلم اجمعوا كل حيوان الحقل. ايتوا بها للاكل. | 9 Is my heritage to me like a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Go, assemble all the wild beasts; bring them to devour. |
| 10 رعاة كثيرون افسدوا كرمي داسوا نصيبي جعلوا نصيبي المشتهى برية خربة. | 10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trampled down my portion, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. |
| 11 جعلوه خرابا ينوح عليّ وهو خرب. خربت كل الارض لانه لا احد يضع في قلبه. | 11 They have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourns to me. The whole land is made desolate, but no man lays it to heart. |
| 12 على جميع الروابي في البرية اتى الناهبون لان سيفا للرب يأكل من اقصى الارض الى اقصى الارض. ليس سلام لاحد من البشر. | 12 Upon all the bare heights in the desert destroyers have come; for the sword of the LORD devours from one end of the land to the other; no flesh has peace. |
| 13 زرعوا حنطة وحصدوا شوكا. اعيوا ولم ينتفعوا بل خزوا من غلاتكم من حمو غضب الرب | 13 They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns, they have tired themselves out but profit nothing. They shall be ashamed of their harvests because of the fierce anger of the LORD." |
| 14 هكذا قال الرب على جميع جيراني الاشرار الذين يلمسون الميراث الذي اورثته لشعبي اسرائيل هانذا اقتلعهم عن ارضهم واقتلع بيت يهوذا من وسطهم. | 14 Thus says the LORD concerning all my evil neighbors who touch the heritage which I have given my people Israel to inherit: "Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. |
| 15 ويكون بعد اقتلاعي اياهم اني ارجع فارحمهم واردهم كل واحد الى ميراثه وكل واحد الى ارضه. | 15 And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land. |
| 16 ويكون اذا تعلموا علما طرق شعبي ان يحلفوا باسمي حيّ هو الرب كما علّموا شعبي ان يحلفوا ببعل انهم يبنون في وسط شعبي. | 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, 'As the LORD lives,' even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they shall be built up in the midst of my people. |
| 17 وان لم يسمعوا فاني اقتلع تلك الامة اقتلاعا وابيدها يقول الرب | 17 But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, says the LORD." |
