إرميا 3

الكتاب المقدس

1 قِيلَ: إِنْ طَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ زَوْجَتَهُ فَانْصَرَفَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، وَتَزَوَّجَتْ بِآخَرَ، فَهَلْ يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا زَوْجُهَا الأَوَّلُ؟ أَلا تَتَدَنَّسُ تِلْكَ الزَّوْجَةُ أَشَدَّ تَدَنُّسٍ؟ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا شَعْبَ اللهِ فَقَدْ زَنَيْتَ مَعَ عُشَّاقٍ كَثِيرِينَ، فَهَلَّا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيَّ؟ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. 

2 ارْفَعِي عَيْنَيْكِ إِلَى الْهِضَابِ وَتَأَمَّلِي، أَهُنَاكَ مَكَانٌ لَمْ تُضَاجِعِي (أَيْ لَمْ تَعْبُدِي فِيهِ الأَوْثَانَ)؟ قَدْ جَلَسْتِ لَهُمْ عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ كَالأَعْرَابِيِّ فِي الْبَادِيَةِ وَدَنَّسْتِ الأَرْضَ بِزِنَاكِ وَعَهَارَتِكِ. 

3 لِذَلِكَ امْتَنَعَ عَنْكِ الْغَيْثُ، وَلَمْ تَهْطِلْ أَمْطَارُ الرَّبِيعِ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ صَارَتْ لَكِ جَبْهَةُ زَانِيَةٍ تَأْبَى أَنْ تَخْجَلَ. 

4 أَلَمْ تَدْعِينِي الآنَ قَائِلَةً: يَا أَبِي، أَنْتَ رَفِيقُ صِبَايَ؟ 

5 أَيَظَلُّ غَاضِباً دَائِماً؟ أَيَبْقَى سَاخِطاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ انْظُرِي، هَذَا مَا نَطَقْتِ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّكِ ارْتَكَبْتِ كُلَّ مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ مِنْ شَرٍّ». 

إسرائيل الخائنة

6 وَقَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ فِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يُوشِيَّا: «هَلْ شَاهَدْتَ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْخَائِنَةُ إِسْرَائِيلُ؟ كَيْفَ صَعِدَتْ إِلَى كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ، وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَزَنَتْ هُنَاكَ (أَيْ عَبَدَتِ الأَوْثَانَ)؟ 

7 وَقُلْتُ بَعْدَ أَنِ ارْتَكَبَتْ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ، إِنَّهَا سَتَرْجِعُ إِلَيَّ، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَرْجِعْ. وَشَهِدَتْ هَذَا أُخْتُهَا الْغَادِرَةُ يَهُوذَا، 

8 وَرَأَتْ أَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُ كِتَابَ طَلاقٍ إِلَى الْغَادِرَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِعَهْرِهَا فَلَمْ تَفْزَعْ أُخْتُهَا الْخَائِنَةُ يَهُوذَا بَلْ مَضَتْ هِيَ أَيْضاً وَزَنَتْ (أَيْ عَبَدَتِ الأَوْثَانَ). 

9 وَلأَنَّهَا اسْتَهَانَتْ بِالزِّنَى، فَقَدْ نَجَّسَتِ الأَرْضَ وَارْتَكَبَتِ الْفُجُورَ (أَيْ عَبَدَتِ الأَوْثَانَ) مَعَ الْحَجَرِ وَمَعَ الشَّجَرِ. 

10 وَمَعَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ لَمْ تَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ أُخْتُهَا الْخَائِنَةُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهَا، إِنَّمَا تَظَاهَرَتْ بِذَلِكَ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. 

11 وَقَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْخَائِنَةَ قَدْ بَرَّرَتْ نَفْسَهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَائِنَةِ يَهُوذَا. 

12 فَاذْهَبْ وَأَعْلِنْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ وَقُلْ: ارْجِعِي أَيَّتُهَا الْخَائِنَةُ إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَأَكُفَّ غَضَبِي عَنْكُمْ لأَنِّي رَحِيمٌ، وَلَنْ أَسْخَطَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. 

13 إِنَّمَا اعْتَرِفِي بِإِثْمِكِ وَأَقِرِّي أَنَّكِ قَدْ تَمَرَّدْتِ عَلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكِ، وَأَغْدَقْتِ غَرَامَكِ عَلَى الْغُرَبَاءِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، وَأَنَّكِ أَبَيْتِ طَاعَةَ صَوْتِي. 

14 فَارْجِعُوا أَيُّهَا الأَبْنَاءُ الْغَادِرُونَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا سَيِّدُكُمْ، فَآخُذَكُمْ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَاثْنَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَشِيرَةِ وَآتِيَ بِكُمْ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، 

15 وَأُقِيمَ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعَاةً يَحْظَوْنَ بِرِضَى قَلْبِي، فَيَرْعَوْنَكُمْ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ وَالْفِطْنَةِ. 

16 وَحِينَ تَكْثُرُونَ وَتَمْلأُونَ الأَرْضَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَسْأَلُوا بَعْدُ عَنْ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَلَنْ يَخْطُرَ بِبَالِكُمْ وَلَنْ تَذْكُرُوهُ، وَلَنْ تَفْتَقِدُوهُ أَوْ تَسْعَوْا لِصُنْعِهِ ثَانِيَةً. 

17 وَيَدْعُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ مَدِينَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُرْسِيَّ الرَّبِّ، وَتَجْتَمِعُ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ الأُمَمِ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَنْ يَضِلُّوا وَرَاءَ عِنَادِ قُلُوبِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ. 

18 وَتَنْضَمُّ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ ذُرِّيَّةُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَأْتُونَ مَعاً مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ إِلَى الدِّيَارِ الَّتِي أَوْرَثْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ. 

19 وَلَكِنِّي قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: لَشَدَّ مَا يُسْعِدُنِي أَنْ أُقِيمَكِ بَيْنَ الأَبْنَاءِ وَأُوَرِّثَكِ أَرْضاً شَهِيَّةً هِيَ أَجْمَلُ مِيرَاثٍ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. وَفَكَّرْتُ أَنَّكِ تَدْعِينَنِي يَا أَبِي، وَلَنْ تَرْتَدِّي عَنِ اتِّبَاعِي. 

20 حَقّاً يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ، قَدْ كُنْتُمْ غَيْرَ أُمَنَاءَ لِي، مِثْلَ زَوْجَةٍ غَادِرَةٍ تَخَلَّتْ عَنْ زَوْجِهَا». 

21 تَرَدَّدَ صَوْتٌ فِي الْمَسَامِعِ مِنْ عَلَى الْهِضَابِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ، هُوَ بُكَاءُ وَابْتِهَالُ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لأَنَّهُمْ حَرَّفُوا طَرِيقَهُمْ، وَنَسُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ. 

22 «فَارْجِعُوا أَيُّهَا الأَبْنَاءُ الْمُرْتَدُّونَ فَأَشْفِيَ ارْتِدَادَكُمْ». وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَا نَحْنُ نُقْبِلُ إِلَيْكَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. 

23 حَقّاً إِنَّ عِبَادَةَ الأَصْنَامِ عَلَى التِّلالِ وَمُمَارَسَةَ الطُّقُوسِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهَا. إِنَّمَا بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا خَلاصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 

24 لَقَدِ الْتَهَمَ خِزْيُ الأَوْثَانِ تَعَبَ آبَائِنَا مُنْذُ صِبَانَا، وَافْتَرَسَ غَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ. 

25 فَلْنَنْطَرِحْ فِي خِزْيِنَا، وَلْيَغْمُرْنَا عَارُنَا لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا فِي حَقِّ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا مُنْذُ صِبَانَا حَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَلَمْ نُطِعْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا».

English Standard Version

1 “If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man’s wife, will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the whore with many lovers; and would you return to me? declares the Lord. (تث 24:1; مز 106:38; إر 2:20; إر 3:9) 

2 Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been ravished? By the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers like an Arab in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your vile whoredom. (عد 23:3; إر 3:1; إر 3:21; إر 3:23; إر 4:11; إر 7:29; حز 16:25) 

3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come; yet you have the forehead of a whore; you refuse to be ashamed. (تث 28:24; إر 6:15; إر 9:12; إر 14:22; حز 3:7) 

4 Have you not just now called to me, ‘My father, you are the friend of my youth— (لو 15:18) 

5 will he be angry forever, will he be indignant to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken, but you have done all the evil that you could.” (مز 103:9) 

Faithless Israel Called to Repentance

6 The Lord said to me in the days of King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there played the whore? (إر 1:2; إر 2:20; إر 3:1) 

7 And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. (حز 16:46; حز 23:4) 

8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore. (تث 24:1; 2مل 17:18; إر 3:1; حز 23:11; هو 1:6; هو 1:9; مت 19:7; مر 10:4) 

9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and tree. (إر 2:27) 

10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.” (هو 7:14) 

11 And the Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah. (حز 16:51) 

12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, “‘Return, faithless Israel, declares the Lord. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, declares the Lord; I will not be angry forever. (تث 30:1; مز 86:5; مز 86:15; مز 103:9; أم 28:13; إر 3:18) 

13 Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the Lord your God and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice, declares the Lord. (لا 26:40; إر 3:6) 

14 Return, O faithless children, declares the Lord; for I am your master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. (إش 54:5; إش 62:5; إر 3:22; هو 2:19; هو 14:1; ملا 2:11) 

15 “And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. (إر 23:4; حز 34:23; يو 10:11; أع 20:28) 

16 And when you have multiplied and been fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again. 

17 At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall gather to it, to the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow their own evil heart. (إش 2:2; إش 60:9) 

18 In those days the house of Judah shall join the house of Israel, and together they shall come from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers for a heritage. (إش 11:13; إر 3:12; إر 16:15; إر 23:8; إر 31:8; إر 50:4; حز 37:21; هو 1:11; عا 9:15) 

19 “I said, How I would set you among my sons, and give you a pleasant land, a heritage most beautiful of all nations. And I thought you would call me, My Father, and would not turn from following me. (إش 63:16) 

20 Surely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband, so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel, declares the Lord.’” (إر 3:7; إر 5:11) 

21 A voice on the bare heights is heard, the weeping and pleading of Israel’s sons because they have perverted their way; they have forgotten the Lord their God. (إر 3:2; إر 31:9) 

22 “Return, O faithless sons; I will heal your faithlessness.” “Behold, we come to you, for you are the Lord our God. (إش 57:18; إر 3:14; إر 30:17; هو 6:1) 

23 Truly the hills are a delusion, the orgies on the mountains. Truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. (مز 3:8; مز 121:1; إر 3:21) 

24 “But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our fathers labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 

25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us. For we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.” (عز 9:6; عز 9:7; أي 8:22; حز 2:3)
