Geremia (ارميا) 17

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 خطية يهوذا مكتوبة بقلم من حديد براس من الماس منقوشة على لوح قلبهم وعلى قرون مذابحكم	1 “The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron and a point of diamond. It has been engraved upon the breadth of their heart and upon the horns of their shrines.
2 كذكر بنيهم مذابحهم وسواريهم عند اشجار خضر على آكام مرتفعة.	2 And their sons make a remembrance of their shrines, and their sacred groves, and their leafy trees on high mountains,
3 يا جبلي في الحقل اجعل ثروتك كل خزائنك للنهب ومرتفعاتك للخطية في كل تخومك.	3 by sacrificing in the field. And so, I will give over your strength and all your treasures to be despoiled, along with your exalted places of sin, within all your borders.
4 وتتبرأ وبنفسك عن ميراثك الذي اعطيتك اياه واجعلك تخدم اعداءك في ارض لم تعرفها لانكم قد اضرمتم نارا بغضبي تتقد الى الابد	4 And you will be left behind without your inheritance, which I gave to you. And I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land that you do not know. For you have kindled a fire in my fury; it shall burn, even unto eternity.”
5 هكذا قال الرب. ملعون الرجل الذي يتكل على الانسان ويجعل البشر ذراعه وعن الرب يحيد قلبه.	5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws from the Lord.
6 ويكون مثل العرعر في البادية ولا يرى اذا جاء الخير بل يسكن الحرّة في البرية ارضا سبخة وغير مسكونة.	6 For he will be like a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable.
7 مبارك الرجل الذي يتكل على الرب وكان الرب متكله.	7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence.
8 فانه يكون كشجرة مغروسة على مياه وعلى نهر تمد اصولها ولا ترى اذا جاء الحرّ ويكون ورقها اخضر وفي سنة القحط لا تخاف ولا تكف عن الاثمار	8 And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear fruit.
9 القلب اخدع من كل شيء وهو نجيس من يعرفه.	9 The heart is depraved above all things, and it is unsearchable, who can know it?
10 انا الرب فاحص القلب مختبر الكلى لاعطي كل واحد حسب طرقه حسب ثمر اعماله.	10 I am the Lord, who examines the heart and tests the temperament, who gives to each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his own decisions.
11 حجلة تحضن ما لم تبض محصل الغنى بغير حق. في نصف ايامه يتركه وفي آخرته يكون احمق	11 A partridge has hatched eggs that she did not lay; a man has gathered riches, but without judgment. In the midst of his days, he will leave it all behind, and he will be foolish concerning his very end.”
12 كرسي مجد مرتفع من الابتداء هو موضع مقدسنا.	12 “A high and glorious throne is the place of our sanctification from the beginning.
13 ايها الرب رجاء اسرائيل كل الذين يتركونك يخزون. الحائدون عني في التراب يكتبون لانهم تركوا الرب ينبوع المياه الحية.	13 O Lord, Hope of Israel: all who forsake you will be confounded. Those who withdraw from you will be written into the earth. For they have abandoned the Lord, the Source of living waters.
14 اشفني يا رب فاشفى. خلصني فاخلص لانك انت تسبيحتي	14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.
15 ها هم يقولون لي اين هي كلمة الرب. لتأت.	15 Behold, they themselves are saying to me: ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.’
16 أما انا فلم اعتزل عن ان اكون راعيا وراءك ولا اشتهيت يوم البلية. انت عرفت. ما خرج من شفتيّ كان مقابل وجهك.	16 But I am not troubled; I am following you as my shepherd. And I have not desired the day of man, as you know. That which has gone forth from my lips has been right in your sight.
17 لا تكن لي رعبا. انت ملجإي في يوم الشر.	17 May you not be a dread to me. You are my hope in the day of affliction.
18 ليخز طارديّ ولا اخز انا. ليرتعبوا هم ولا ارتعب انا. اجلب عليهم يوم الشر واسحقهم سحقا مضاعفا	18 May those who persecute me be confounded, but may I not be confounded. May they be fearful, and may I not be fearful. Lead over them the day of affliction, and crush them with a double destruction.”
19 هكذا قال الرب لي. اذهب وقف في باب بني الشعب الذي يدخل منه ملوك يهوذا ويخرجون منه وفي كل ابواب اورشليم	19 Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and stand at the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter and depart, and at all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 وقل لهم. اسمعوا كلمة الرب يا ملوك يهوذا وكل يهوذا وكل سكان اورشليم الداخلين من هذه الابواب.	20 And you shall say to them: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter through these gates.”
21 هكذا قال الرب. تحفظوا بانفسكم ولا تحملوا حملا يوم السبت ولا تدخلوه في ابواب اورشليم	21 Thus says the Lord: “Guard your souls, and do not choose to carry heavy things on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you carry these things through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 ولا تخرجوا حملا من بيوتكم يوم السبت ولا تعملوا شغلا ما بل قدسوا يوم السبت كما امرت آباءكم.	22 And do not be willing to cast burdens out of your houses on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you do any work. Sanctify the day of the Sabbath, just as I instructed your fathers.
23 فلم يسمعوا ولم يميلوا اذنهم بل قسّوا اعناقهم لئلا يسمعوا ولئلا يقبلوا تأديبا.	23 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they hardened their neck, lest they listen to me and receive discipline.
24 ويكون اذا سمعتم لي سمعا يقول الرب ولم تدخلوا حملا في ابواب هذه المدينة يوم السبت بل قدستم يوم السبت ولم تعملوا فيه شغلا ما	24 And this shall be: If you listen to me, says the Lord, so that you do not carry in burdens through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, and if you sanctify the day of the Sabbath, so that you do not do work in it,
25 انه يدخل في ابواب هذه المدينة ملوك ورؤساء جالسون على كرسي داود راكبون في مركبات وعلى خيل هم ورؤساؤهم رجال يهوذا وسكان اورشليم وتسكن هذه المدينة الى الابد.	25 then there will enter through the gates of this city: kings and princes, sitting on the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited forever.
26 ويأتون من مدن يهوذا ومن حوالي اورشليم ومن ارض بنيامين ومن السهل ومن الجبال ومن الجنوب يأتون بمحرقات وذبائح وتقدمات ولبان ويدخلون بذبائح شكر الى بيت الرب.	26 And they will arrive from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountainous regions, and from the south, carrying holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense. And they will carry an oblation into the house of the Lord.
27 ولكن ان لم تسمعوا لي لتقدسوا يوم السبت لكي لا تحملوا حملا ولا تدخلوه في ابواب اورشليم يوم السبت فاني اشعل نارا في ابوابها فتأكل قصور اورشليم ولا تنطفئ	27 But if you will not listen to me, to sanctify the day of the Sabbath, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring these things through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire at its gates, and it will devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it will not be extinguished.”
