SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 هذا كلام الرسالة التي ارسلها ارميا النبي من اورشليم الى بقية شيوخ السبي والى الكهنة والانبياء والى كل الشعب الذين سباهم نبوخذناصّر من اورشليم الى بابل	1 And these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah, the prophet, sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of the elders of the transmigration, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had led away from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 بعد خروج يكنيا الملك والملكة والخصيان ورؤساء يهوذا واورشليم والنجارين والحدادين من اورشليم	2 after king Jeconiah, with the queen, and the eunuchs, and the leaders of Judah and of Jerusalem, and the craftsmen and engravers, had departed from Jerusalem.
3 بيد العاسة بن شافان وجمريا بن حلقيا اللذين ارسلهما صدقيا ملك يهوذا الى نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل الى بابل قائلا	3 It was sent by the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and by Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah, the king of Judah, sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, saying:
4 هكذا قال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل لكل السبي الذي سبيته من اورشليم الى بابل.	4 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who have been taken away, whom I have caused to be transferred from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 ابنوا بيوتا واسكنوا واغرسوا جنات وكلوا ثمرها.	5 Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruit.
6 خذوا نساء ولدوا بنين وبنات وخذوا لبنيكم نساء واعطوا بناتكم لرجال فيلدن بنين وبنات واكثروا هناك ولا تقلوا.	6 Take wives, and conceive sons and daughters. And give wives to your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters. And be multiplied there, and do not choose to be few in number.
7 واطلبوا سلام المدينة التي سبيتكم اليها وصلّوا لاجلها الى الرب لانه بسلامها يكون لكم سلام.	7 And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be taken away, and pray to the Lord on its behalf. For your peace will be in its peace.
8 لانه هكذا قال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل. لا تغشكم انبياؤكم الذين في وسطكم وعرافوكم ولا تسمعوا لاحلامكم التي تتحلمونها.	8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not allow your prophets and your diviners, who are in your midst, to seduce you. And you should pay no attention to your dreams, which you are dreaming.
9 لانهم انما يتنبأون لكم باسمي بالكذب. انا لم ارسلهم يقول الرب	9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name, and I have not sent them, says the Lord.
10 لانه هكذا قال الرب. اني عند تمام سبعين سنة لبابل اتعهدكم واقيم لكم كلامي الصالح بردكم الى هذا الموضع.	10 For thus says the Lord: When the seventy years will begin to be completed in Babylon, I will visit you. And I will raise up over you my good word, so that I may lead you back to this place.
11 لاني عرفت الافكار التي انا مفتكر بها عنكم يقول الرب افكار سلام لا شر لاعطيكم آخرة ورجاء.	11 For I know the thoughts that I think over you, says the Lord: thoughts of peace and not of affliction, so that I may give you patience and an end.
12 فتدعونني وتذهبون وتصلّون اليّ فاسمع لكم.	12 And you shall call upon me, and you shall go forth. And you shall pray to me, and I will heed you.
13 وتطلبونني فتجدونني اذ تطلبونني بكل قلبكم.	13 You shall seek me. And you will find me, when you have sought me with your whole heart.
14 فأوجد لكم يقول الرب وارد سبيكم واجمعكم من كل الامم ومن كل المواضع التي طردتكم اليها يقول الرب واردكم الى الموضع الذي سبيتكم منه	14 And I will be found by you, says the Lord. And I will lead you back from your captivity. And I will gather you from all the nations and all the places, to which I have expelled you, says the Lord. And I will return you from the place to which I sent you into captivity.
15 لانكم قلتم قد اقام لنا الرب نبيين في بابل	15 For you have said: ‘The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon.’
16 فهكذا قال الرب للملك الجالس على كرسي داود ولكل الشعب الجالس في هذه المدينة اخوتكم الذين لم يخرجوا معكم في السبي	16 For thus says the Lord, to the king who sits upon the throne of David, and to all the people who live in this city, to your brothers who have not departed with you in the transmigration:
17 هكذا قال رب الجنود. هانذا ارسل عليهم السيف والجوع والوبأ واجعلهم كتين رديء لا يؤكل من الرداءة.	17 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will send among them the sword, and famine, and pestilence. And I will make them like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
18 والحقهم بالسيف والجوع والوبإ واجعلهم قلقا لكل ممالك الارض حلفا ودهشا وصفيرا وعارا في جميع الامم الذين طردتهم اليهم	18 And I will pursue them with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence. And I will give them over to affliction, amid all the kingdoms of the earth: as a curse, and in stupor, and with hissing, and as a disgrace among all the nations to which I have driven them out.
19 من اجل انهم لم يسمعوا لكلامي يقول الرب اذ ارسلت اليهم عبيدي الانبياء مبكرا ومرسلا ولم تسمعوا يقول الرب	19 For they have not listened to my words, says the Lord, which I sent to them through my servants, the prophets, rising while it was still night, and sending. But you have not listened, says the Lord.
20 وانتم فاسمعوا كلمة الرب يا جميع السبي الذين ارسلتهم من اورشليم الى بابل.	20 Therefore, listen to the word of the Lord, all you of the transmigration, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem into Babylon.
21 هكذا قال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل عن اخآب بن قولايا وعن صدقيا بن معسيا اللذين يتنبآن لكم باسمي بالكذب. هانذا ادفعهما ليد نبوخذراصر ملك بابل فيقتلهما امام عيونكم.	21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and to Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy falsely to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will strike them down before your eyes.
22 وتؤخذ منهما لعنة لكل سبي يهوذا الذين في بابل فيقال يجعلك الرب مثل صدقيا ومثل اخآب اللذين قلاهما ملك بابل بالنار.	22 And a curse will be taken up about them, by all the captives of Judah that are in Babylon, saying: ‘May the Lord make you like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire!’
23 من اجل انهما عملا قبيحا في اسرائيل وزنيا بنساء اصحابهما وتكلما باسمي كلاما كاذبا لم اوصهما به وانا العارف والشاهد يقول الرب	23 For they have acted foolishly in Israel, and they have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and they have spoken lying words in my name, which I did not command them. I am the Judge and the Witness, says the Lord.
24 وكلم شمعيا النحلامي قائلا.	24 And to Shemaiah of Nehelam, you shall say:
25 هكذا تكلم رب الجنود اله اسرائيل قائلا. من اجل انك ارسلت رسائل باسمك الى كل الشعب الذي في اورشليم والى صفنيا بن معسيا الكاهن والى كل الكهنة قائلا	25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Similarly, you have sent letters in your name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
26 قد جعلك الرب كاهنا عوضا عن يهوياداع الكاهن لتكونوا وكلاء في بيت الرب لكل رجل مجنون ومتنبئ فتدفعه الى المقطرة والقيود.	26 ‘The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada, the priest, so that you would be the ruler in the house of the Lord over every man who raves and prophesies, to send him to the stocks and to prison.
27 والآن لماذا لم تزجر ارميا العناثوثي المتنبّئ لكم.	27 And now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?
28 لانه لذلك ارسل الينا الى بابل قائلا انها مستطيلة. ابنوا بيوتا واسكنوا واغرسوا جنات وكلوا ثمرها.	28 For about this, he has sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time. Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruits.’ ”
29 فقرأ صفنيا الكاهن هذه الرسالة في اذني ارميا النبي	29 Thus, Zephaniah, the priest, read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 ثم صار كلام الرب الى ارميا قائلا.	30 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
31 ارسل الى كل السبي قائلا. هكذا قال الرب لشمعيا النحلامي. من اجل ان شمعيا قد تنبأ لكم وانا لم ارسله وجعلكم تتكلون على الكذب.	31 “Send to all those of the transmigration, saying: Thus says the Lord to Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, though I did not send him, and because he has caused you to trust in a lie:
32 لذلك هكذا قال الرب. هانذا اعاقب شمعيا النحلامي ونسله. لا يكون له انسان يجلس في وسط هذا الشعب ولا يرى الخير الذي ساصنعه لشعبي يقول الرب لانه تكلم بعصيان على الرب	32 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will visit upon Shemaiah of Nehelam, and upon his offspring. There will not be, for him, even one man sitting in the midst of this people. And he will not see the good that I will accomplish for my people, says the Lord. For he has spoken a betrayal against the Lord.”
