JEREMIAH 45

أرميا 45

1  The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the instruction of Jeremiah,* in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

1  اَلْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا عِنْدَ كَتَابَتِهِ هَذَا الْكَلاَمَ فِي سِفْرٍ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا:

2  "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:

2  [هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَكَ يَا بَارُوخُ.

3  'You said, "Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest." '

3  قَدْ قُلْتَ: وَيْلٌ لِي لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ زَادَ حُزْناً عَلَى أَلَمِي. قَدْ غُشِيَ عَلَيَّ في تَنَهُّدِي وَلَمْ أَجِدْ رَاحَةً.

4  Thus you shall say to him, 'Thus says the Lord: "Behold, what I have built I will break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land.

4  [هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: هَئَنَذَا أَهْدِمُ مَا بَنَيْتُهُ وَأَقْتَلِعُ مَا غَرَسْتُهُ وَكُلَّ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ.

5  And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring adversity on all flesh," says the Lord. "But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go." ' "

5  وَأَنْتَ فَهَلْ تَطْلُبُ لِنَفْسِكَ أُمُوراً عَظِيمَةً؟ لاَ تَطْلُبُ! لأَنِّي هَئَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرّاً عَلَى كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ وَأُعْطِيكَ نَفْسَكَ غَنِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي تَسِيرُ إِلَيْهَا].
