Jeremiah 34

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his entire army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under the authority of his hand, and all the people were making war against Jerusalem and against all of its cities, saying:	1 الكلمة التي صارت الى ارميا من قبل الرب حين كان نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل وكل جيشه وكل ممالك اراضي سلطان يده وكل الشعوب يحاربون اورشليم وكل مدنها قائلة
2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.	2 هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل. اذهب وكلم صدقيا ملك يهوذا وقل له. هكذا قال الرب. هانذا ادفع هذه المدينة ليد ملك بابل فيحرقها بالنار.
3 And you will not escape from his hand. Instead, you will be overtaken and captured, and you will be delivered into his hand. And your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth will speak with your mouth, and you will enter into Babylon.	3 وانت لا تفلت من يده بل تمسك امساكا وتدفع ليده وترى عيناك عيني ملك بابل وتكلمه فما لفم وتذهب الى بابل.
4 Even so, listen to the word of the Lord, Zedekiah, king of Judah: Thus says the Lord to you: You will not die by the sword.	4 ولكن اسمع كلمة الرب يا صدقيا ملك يهوذا. هكذا قال الرب من جهتك. لا تموت بالسيف.
5 Instead, you will die in peace. And, in accord with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so will they burn you. And they will mourn you, saying: ‘Alas, lord!’ For I have spoken the word, says the Lord.”	5 بسلام تموت وباحراق آبائك الملوك الاولين الذين كانوا قبلك هكذا يحرقون لك ويندبونك قائلين آه يا سيد. لاني انا تكلمت بالكلمة يقول الرب.
6 And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.	6 فكلم ارميا النبي صدقيا ملك يهوذا بكل هذا الكلام في اورشليم
7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that remained, against Lachish and against Azekah. For only these remained out of the cities of Judah that were fortified cities.	7 اذ كان جيش ملك بابل يحارب اورشليم وكل مدن يهوذا الباقية لخيش وعزيقة. لان هاتين بقيتا في مدن يهوذا مدينتين حصينتين
8 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had struck a pact with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming	8 الكلمة التي صارت الى ارميا من قبل الرب بعد قطع الملك صدقيا عهدا مع كل الشعب الذي في اورشليم لينادوا بالعتق
9 that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, as a free Hebrew man and a free Hebrew woman, and that they should never be rulers over them, that is, over the Jews, their own brothers.	9 ان يطلق كل واحد عبده وكل واحد امته العبراني والعبرانية حرّين حتى لا يستعبدهما اي اخويه اليهوديين احد.
10 Then all the leaders and all the people who entered into the pact, heard that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, to be free, and that they should no longer rule over them. Therefore, they listened, and they released them.	10 فلما سمع كل الرؤساء وكل الشعب الذين دخلوا في العهد ان يطلقوا كل واحد عبده وكل واحد امته حرّين ولا يستعبدوهما بعد اطاعوا واطلقوا.
11 But later on, they turned back. And they took back again their man servants and their woman servants, whom they had released to be free. And they subjugated them as male and female servants.	11 ولكنهم عادوا بعد ذلك فارجعوا العبيد والاماء الذين اطلقوهم احرارا واخضعوهم عبيدا واماء
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:	12 فصارت كلمة الرب الى ارميا من قبل الرب قائلة.
13 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I struck a pact with your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude, saying:	13 هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل. انا قطعت عهدا مع آبائكم يوم اخرجتهم من ارض مصر من بيت العبيد قائلا
14 ‘When seven years have been completed, let each one release his brother, a Hebrew, who had been sold to him. And so he will serve you for six years, and then you shall release him to be free from you.’ But your fathers did not listen to me, nor did they incline their ear.	14 في نهاية سبع سنين تطلقون كل واحد اخاه العبراني الذي بيع لك وخدمك ست سنين فتطلقه حرا من عندك. ولكن لم يسمع آباؤكم لي ولا امالوا اذنهم.
15 And today you converted, and you did what is right in my eyes, so that you proclaimed liberty, each one to his friend. And you entered into a pact in my sight, in the house in which and over which my name is invoked.	15 وقد رجعتم انتم اليوم وفعلتم ما هو مستقيم في عينيّ منادين بالعتق كل واحد الى صاحبه وقطعتم عهدا امامي في البيت الذي دعي باسمي.
16 But now you have turned back, and you have stained my name. For you have led back again, each one his man servant, and each one his woman servant, whom you had released so that they would be free and under their own authority. And you have subjugated them, so that they would be your servants and handmaids.”	16 ثم عدتم ودنستم اسمي وارجعتم كل واحد عبده وكل واحد امته الذين اطلقتموهم احرارا لانفسهم واخضعتموهم ليكونوا لكم عبيدا واماء.
17 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “You have not heeded me, though you proclaimed liberty, each one to his brother and each one to his friend. Behold, I am proclaiming a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine. And I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.	17 لذلك هكذا قال الرب. انتم لم تسمعوا لي لتنادوا بالعتق كل واحد الى اخيه وكل واحد الى صاحبه. هانذا انادي لكم بالعتق يقول الرب للسيف والوبإ والجوع واجعلكم قلقا لكل ممالك الارض.
18 And I will give over the men who have betrayed my covenant, and who have not observed the words of the covenant, to which they assented in my sight when they cut the calf into two parts and passed between its parts:	18 وادفع الناس الذين تعدوا عهدي الذين لم يقيموا كلام العهد الذي قطعوه امامي. العجل الذي قطعوه الى اثنين وجازوا بين قطعتيه.
19 the leaders of Judah, and the leaders of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf.	19 رؤساء يهوذا ورؤساء اورشليم الخصيان والكهنة وكل شعب الارض الذين جازوا بين قطعتي العجل
20 And I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who are seeking their life. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.	20 ادفعهم ليد اعدائهم وليد طالبي نفوسهم فتكون جثثهم أكلا لطيور السماء ووحوش الارض.
21 And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his leaders, I will give over to the hands of their enemies, and to the hands of those who are seeking their lives, and to the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which had withdrawn from you.	21 وادفع صدقيا ملك يهوذا ورؤساءه ليد اعدائهم وليد طالبي نفوسهم وليد جيش ملك بابل الذين صعدوا عنكم.
22 Behold, I will command, says the Lord, and I will lead them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and seize it, and set it on fire. And I will make the cities of Judah into a desolation, for there shall be no inhabitant.”	22 هانذا آمر يقول الرب واردهم الى هذه المدينة فيحاربونها وياخذونها ويحرقونها بالنار واجعل مدن يهوذا خربة بلا ساكن
