Jeremiah 51

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon, against the inhabitants of Chaldea;	1 هكذا قال الرب. هانذا اوقظ على بابل وعلى الساكنين في وسط القائمين عليّ ريحا مهلكة.
2 and I will send to Babylon winnowers, and they shall winnow her, and they shall empty her land, when they come against her from every side on the day of trouble.	2 وارسل الى بابل مذرين فيذرونها ويفرغون ارضها لانهم يكونون عليها من كل جهة في يوم الشر.
3 Let not the archer bend his bow, and let him not stand up in his coat of mail. Spare not her young men; utterly destroy all her host.	3 على النازع في قوسه فلينزع النازع وعلى المفتخر بدرعه فلا تشفقوا على منتخبيها بل حرموا كل جندها.
4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and wounded in her streets.	4 فتسقط القتلى في ارض الكلدانيين والمطعونون في شوارعها.
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the LORD of hosts; but the land of the Chaldeans is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.	5 لان اسرائيل ويهوذا ليسا بمقطوعين عن الههما عن رب الجنود وان تكن ارضهما ملآنة اثما على قدوس اسرائيل.
6 "Flee from the midst of Babylon, let every man save his life! Be not cut off in her punishment, for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance, the requital he is rendering her.	6 اهربوا من وسط بابل وانجوا كل واحد بنفسه. لا تهلكوا بذنبها لان هذا زمان انتقام الرب هو يؤدي لها جزاءها.
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD's hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine, therefore the nations went mad.	7 بابل كاس ذهب بيد الرب تسكر كل الارض. من خمرها شربت الشعوب من اجل ذلك جنّت الشعوب.
8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she may be healed.	8 سقطت بابل بغتة وتحطمت. ولولوا عليها. خذوا بلسانا لجرحها لعلها تشفى.
9 We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed. Forsake her, and let us go each to his own country; for her judgment has reached up to heaven and has been lifted up even to the skies.	9 داوينا بابل فلم تشف. دعوها ولنذهب كل واحد الى ارضه لان قضاءها وصل الى السماء وارتفع الى السحاب.
10 The LORD has brought forth our vindication; come, let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.	10 قد اخرج الرب برنا. هلم فنقص في صهيون عمل الرب الهنا.
11 "Sharpen the arrows! Take up the shields! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, for that is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance for his temple.	11 سنوا السهام. اعدوا الاتراس. قد ايقظ الرب روح ملوك مادي لان قصده على بابل ان يهلكها. لانه نقمة الرب نقمة هيكله.
12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both planned and done what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.	12 على اسوار بابل ارفعوا الراية. شددوا الحراسة. اقيموا الحراس. اعدوا الكمين لان الرب قد قصد وايضا فعل ما تكلم به على سكان بابل.
13 O you who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the thread of your life is cut.	13 ايتها الساكنة على مياه كثيرة الوافرة الخزائن قد اتت آخرتك كيل اغتصابك.
14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself: Surely I will fill you with men, as many as locusts, and they shall raise the shout of victory over you.	14 قد حلف رب الجنود بنفسه اني لاملأنّك اناس كالغوغاء فيرفعون عليك جلبة
15 "It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.	15 صانع الارض بقوته ومؤسس المسكونة بحكمته وبفهمه مدّ السموات.
16 When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.	16 اذا اعطى قولا تكون كثرة مياه في السموات ويصعد السحاب من اقاصي الارض. صنع بروقا للمطر واخرج الريح من خزائنه.
17 Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols; for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.	17 بلد كل انسان بمعرفته. خزي كل صائغ من التمثال. لان مسبوكه كذب ولا روح فيه.
18 They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.	18 هي باطلة صنعة الاضاليل. في وقت عقابها تبيد.
19 Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name.	19 ليس كهذه نصيب يعقوب لانه مصوّر الجميع وقضيب ميراثه رب الجنود اسمه.
20 "You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms;	20 انت لي فأس وادوات حرب فاسحق بك الامم واهلك بك الممالك
21 with you I break in pieces the horse and his rider; with you I break in pieces the chariot and the charioteer;	21 واكسر بك الفرس وراكبه واسحق بك المركبة وراكبها
22 with you I break in pieces man and woman; with you I break in pieces the old man and the youth; with you I break in pieces the young man and the maiden;	22 واسحق بك الرجل والمرأة واسحق بك الشيخ والفتى واسحق بك الغلام والعذراء
23 with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; with you I break in pieces the farmer and his team; with you I break in pieces governors and commanders.	23 واسحق بك الراعي وقطيعه واسحق بك الفلاح وفدانه واسحق بك الولاة والحكام.
24 "I will requite Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea before your very eyes for all the evil that they have done in Zion, says the LORD.	24 واكافئ بابل وكل سكان ارض الكلدانيين على كل شرهم الذي فعلوه في صهيون امام عيونكم يقول الرب.
25 "Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says the LORD, which destroys the whole earth; I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the crags, and make you a burnt mountain.	25 هانذا عليك ايها الجبل المهلك يقول الرب المهلك كل الارض فامدّ يدي عليك وادحرجك عن الصخور واجعلك جبلا محرقا.
26 No stone shall be taken from you for a corner and no stone for a foundation, but you shall be a perpetual waste, says the LORD.	26 فلا يأخذون منك حجرا لزاوية ولا حجرا لأسس بل تكون خرابا الى الابد يقول الرب
27 "Set up a standard on the earth, blow the trumpet among the nations; prepare the nations for war against her, summon against her the kingdoms, Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a marshal against her, bring up horses like bristling locusts.	27 ارفعوا الراية في الارض. اضربوا بالبوق في الشعوب قدسوا عليها الامم نادوا عليها ممالك اراراط ومنّي واشكناز. اقيموا عليها قائدا اصعدوا الخيل كغوغاء مقشعرّة.
28 Prepare the nations for war against her, the kings of the Medes, with their governors and deputies, and every land under their dominion.	28 قدسوا عليها الشعوب ملوك مادي ولاتها وكل حكامها وكل ارض سلطانها.
29 The land trembles and writhes in pain, for the LORD's purposes against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.	29 فترتجف الارض وتتوجع لان افكار الرب تقوم على بابل ليجعل ارض بابل خرابا بلا ساكن.
30 The warriors of Babylon have ceased fighting, they remain in their strongholds; their strength has failed, they have become women; her dwellings are on fire, her bars are broken.	30 كفّ جبابرة بابل عن الحرب وجلسوا في الحصون. نضبت شجاعتهم. صاروا نساء. حرقوا مساكنها. تحطمت عوارضها.
31 One runner runs to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every side;	31 يركض عدّاء للقاء عدّاء ومخبر للقاء مخبر ليخبر ملك بابل بان مدينته قد أخذت عن اقصى
32 the fords have been seized, the bulwarks are burned with fire, and the soldiers are in panic.	32 وان المعابر قد أمسكت والقصب احرقوه بالنار ورجال الحرب اضطربت.
33 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while and the time of her harvest will come."	33 لانه هكذا قال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل ان بنت بابل كبيدر وقت دوسه. بعد قليل يأتي عليها وقت الحصاد
34 "Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me; he has made me an empty vessel, he has swallowed me like a monster; he has filled his belly with my delicacies, he has rinsed me out.	34 اكلني افناني نبوخذراصر ملك بابل. جعلني اناء فارغا. ابتلعني كتنين وملأ جوفه من نعمي. طوّحني.
35 The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon," let the inhabitant of Zion say. "My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea," let Jerusalem say.	35 ظلمي ولحمي على بابل تقول ساكنة صهيون ودمي على سكان ارض الكلدانيين تقول اورشليم.
36 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will plead your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountain dry;	36 لذلك هكذا قال الرب. هانذا اخاصم خصومتك وانتقم نقمتك وانشف بحرها واجفف ينبوعها.
37 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.	37 وتكون بابل كوما ومأوى بنات آوى ودهشا وصفيرا بلا ساكن.
38 "They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions' whelps.	38 يزمجرون معا كاشبال. يزئرون كجراء أسود.
39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk, till they swoon away and sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, says the LORD.	39 عند حرارتهم اعدّ لهم شرابا واسكرهم لكي يفرحوا ويناموا نوما ابديا ولا يستيقظوا يقول الرب.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and he-goats.	40 انزلهم كخراف للذبح وككباش مع اعتدة
41 "How Babylon is taken, the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!	41 كيف أخذت شيشك وأمسكت فخر كل الارض. كيف صارت بابل دهشا في الشعوب.
42 The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with its tumultuous waves.	42 طلع البحر على بابل فتغطت بكثرة امواجه.
43 Her cities have become a horror, a land of drought and a desert, a land in which no one dwells, and through which no son of man passes.	43 صارت مدنها خرابا ارضا ناشفة وقفرا ارضا لا يسكن فيها انسان ولا يعبر فيها ابن آدم.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what he has swallowed. The nations shall no longer flow to him; the wall of Babylon has fallen.	44 واعاقب بيل في بابل واخرج من فمه ما ابتلعه فلا تجري اليه الشعوب بعد ويسقط سور بابل ايضا.
45 "Go out of the midst of her, my people! Let every man save his life from the fierce anger of the LORD!	45 اخرجوا من وسطها يا شعبي ولينج كل واحد نفسه من حمو غضب الرب.
46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful at the report heard in the land, when a report comes in one year and afterward a report in another year, and violence is in the land, and ruler is against ruler.	46 ولا يضعف قلبكم فتخافوا من الخبر الذي سمع في الارض فانه يأتي خبر في هذه السنة ثم بعده في السنة الاخرى خبر وظلم في الارض متسلط على متسلط.
47 "Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the images of Babylon; her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.	47 لذلك ها ايام تاتي واعاقب منحوتات بابل فتخزى كل ارضها وتسقط كل قتلاها في وسطها.
48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come against them out of the north, says the LORD.	48 فتهتف على بابل السموات والارض وكل ما فيها لان الناهبين ياتون عليها من الشمال يقول الرب.
49 Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel, as for Babylon have fallen the slain of all the earth.	49 كما اسقطت بابل قتلى اسرائيل تسقط ايضا قتلى بابل في كل الارض
50 "You that have escaped from the sword, go, stand not still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind:	50 ايها الناجون من السيف اذهبوا لا تقفوا اذكروا الرب من بعيد ولتخطر اورشليم ببالكم.
51 'We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; dishonor has covered our face, for aliens have come into the holy places of the LORD's house.'	51 قد خزينا لاننا قد سمعنا عارا غطى الخجل وجوهنا لان الغرباء دخلوا مقادس بيت الرب.
52 "Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will execute judgment upon her images, and through all her land the wounded shall groan.	52 لذلك ها ايام تأتي يقول الرب واعاقب منحوتاتها ويتنهد الجرحى في كل ارضها.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify her strong height, yet destroyers would come from me upon her, says the LORD.	53 فلو صعدت بابل الى السموات ولو حصّنت علياء عزها فمن عندي يأتي عليها الناهبون يقول الرب
54 "Hark! a cry from Babylon! The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!	54 صوت صراخ من بابل وانحطام عظيم من ارض الكلدانيين.
55 For the LORD is laying Babylon waste, and stilling her mighty voice. Their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is raised;	55 لان الرب مخرب بابل وقد اباد منها الصوت العظيم وقد عجّت امواجهم كمياه كثيرة وأطلق ضجيج صوتهم.
56 for a destroyer has come upon her, upon Babylon; her warriors are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for the LORD is a God of recompense, he will surely requite.	56 لانه جاء عليها على بابل المخرب وأخذ جبابرتها وتحطمت قسيهم لان الرب اله مجازاة يكافئ مكافأة.
57 I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors, her commanders, and her warriors; they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.	57 واسكر رؤساءها وحكماءها وولاتها وحكامها وابطالها فينامون نوما ابديا ولا يستيقظون يقول الملك رب الجنود اسمه.
58 "Thus says the LORD of hosts: The broad wall of Babylon shall be leveled to the ground and her high gates shall be burned with fire. The peoples labor for nought, and the nations weary themselves only for fire."	58 هكذا قال رب الجنود ان اسوار بابل العريضة تدمر تدميرا وابوابها الشامخة تحرق بالنار فتتعب الشعوب للباطل والقبائل للنار حتى تعيا
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Seraiah was the quartermaster.	59 الأمر الذي اوصى به ارميا النبي سرايا بن نيريا بن محسيا عند ذهابه مع صدقيا ملك يهوذا الى بابل في السنة الرابعة لملكه. وكان سرايا رئيس المحلّة.
60 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.	60 فكتب ارميا كل الشر الآتي على بابل في سفر واحد كل هذا الكلام المكتوب على بابل
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: "When you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words,	61 وقال ارميا لسرايا اذا دخلت الى بابل ونظرت وقرأت كل هذا الكلام
62 and say, 'O LORD, thou hast said concerning this place that thou wilt cut it off, so that nothing shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, and it shall be desolate for ever.'	62 فقل انت يا رب قد تكلمت على هذا الموضع لتقرضه حتى لا يكون فيه ساكن من الناس الى البهائم بل يكون خربا ابدية.
63 When you finish reading this book, bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates,	63 ويكون اذا فرغت من قراءة هذا السفر انك تربط فيه حجرا وتطرحه الى وسط الفرات
64 and say, 'Thus shall Babylon sink, to rise no more, because of the evil that I am bringing upon her.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.	64 وتقول هكذا تغرق بابل ولا تقوم من الشر الذي انا جالبه عليها ويعيون. الى هنا كلام ارميا
