5أَذِيعُوا فِي يَهُوذَا، وَأَعْلِنُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي الْبِلادِ، وَنَادُوا بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَقُولُوا: احْتَشِدُوا وَلْنَدْخُلِ الْمُدُنَ الْمُحَصَّنَةَ،6ارْفَعُوا الرَّايَةَ دَاعِينَ لِلُّجُوءِ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ. لُوذُوا بِمَأْمَنٍ. لَا تَتَقَاعَسُوا، لأَنِّي جَالِبٌ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ دَمَاراً وَخَرَاباً.7قَدْ بَرَزَ أَسَدٌ مِنْ عَرِينِهِ، وَزَحَفَ مُدَمِّرُ الشُّعُوبِ. قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ لِيَخْرِبَ أَرْضَكُمْ، فَتُصْبِحُ مُدُنُكُمْ أَطْلالاً مَهْجُورَةً مِنَ السُّكَّانِ.8لِذَلِكَ تَمَنْطَقُوا بِالْمُسُوحِ، وَنُوحُوا وَوَلْوِلُوا، لأَنَّ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ الْمُحْتَدِمَ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ عَنَّا»9وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْهَارُ قَلْبُ الْمَلِكِ وَقُلُوبُ رِجَالِ دَوْلَتِهِ خَوْفاً. وَيَعْتَرِي الْكَهَنَةَ الْفَزَعُ، وَيَسْتَوْلِي الذُّهُولُ عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاءِ».10عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، حَقّاً إِنَّكَ خَدَعْتَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَأَوْهَمْتَ أَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلاً: سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلامٌ، وَهَا السَّيْفُ قَدْ بَلَغَ حَدَّ النَّفْسِ.11وَيُقَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَلأَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتَهُبُّ رِيحٌ لافِحَةٌ مِنْ هِضَابِ الصَّحْرَاءِ نَحْوَ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي، لَا تَسْتَهْدِفُ التَّذْرِيَةَ وَلا التَّنْقِيَةَ،12إِنَّمَا هِيَ رِيحٌ أَشَدُّ عُتُوّاً مِنْهَا، تَهُبُّ بِأَمْرِي، فَأُصْدِرُ أَنَا أَيْضاً أَحْكَامِي عَلَيْهِمْ».13انْظُرُوا، هَا هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ كَسَحَابٍ، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُ كَزَوْبَعَةٍ، وَجِيَادُهُ أَسْرَعُ مِنَ النُّسُورِ. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لأَنَّنَا قَدْ هَلَكْنَا.14يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، اغْسِلِي مِنَ الشَّرِّ قَلْبَكِ فَتَخْلُصِي. إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّ أَفْكَارُكِ الْبَاطِلَةُ مُتَرَعْرِعَةً فِي وَسَطِكِ؟15هَا صَوْتٌ يُنَادِي مِنْ أَرْضِ ذُرِّيَّةِ دَانٍ، يُعْلِنُ عَنْ وُقُوعِ كَارِثَةٍ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.16«خَبِّرُوا الأُمَمَ وَأَعْلِنُوهُ لأَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: إنَّ جَيْشَ الْمُحَاصِرِينَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، وَقَدْ أَطْلَقَ هُتَافَاتِ الْحَرْبِ عَلَى مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا.17أَحَاطُوا بِها كَحُرَّاسِ الْحُقُولِ لأَنَّهَا تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَيَّ» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.18«طُرُقُكِ وَأَعْمَالُكِ جَرَّتْ عَلَيْكِ هَذَا الْعِقَابَ، هَذَا قَصَاصُكِ وَمَا أَمَرَّهُ مِنْ قَصَاصٍ، لأَنَّهُ يَخْتَرِقُ ذَاتَ قَلْبِكِ».19لَشَدَّ مَا أَتَعَذَّبُ! لَشَدَّ مَا أَتَعَذَّبُ! قَلْبِي يَتَلَوَّى أَلَماً. فُؤَادِي يَئِنُّ فِي دَاخِلِي فَلا أَسْتَطِيعُ الصَّمْتَ، لأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ دَوِيَّ الْبُوقِ وَصَيْحَاتِ الْقِتَالِ.20كَارِثَةٌ فِي أَعْقَابِ كَارِثَةٍ، وَالأَرْضُ قَاطِبَةً قَدِ اسْتَحَالَتْ خَرَاباً، فَتَهَدَّمَتْ فِي لَحْظَةٍ خِيَامِي، وَبُيُوتِي تَدَمَّرَتْ بَغْتَةً.21إِلَى مَتَى أَظَلُّ أَرَى رَايَةَ الْمَعْرَكَةِ، وَأَسْمَعُ دَوِيَّ الْبُوقِ؟22«إِنَّ قَوْمِي حَمْقَى لَا يَعْرِفُونَنِي. هُمْ أَبْنَاءٌ أَغْبِيَاءُ مُجَرَّدُونَ مِنَ الْفَهْمِ، حَاذِقُونَ فِي ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ، وَجُهَلاءُ فِي صُنْعِ الْخَيْرِ».23تَأَمَّلْتُ الأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ خَرِبَةٌ خَاوِيَةٌ، وَتَطَلَّعْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا هِيَ مُظْلِمَةٌ.24نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ وَإذَا بِها تَرْتَجِفُ، وَإِلَى الآكَامِ وَإذَا بِها تَتَقَلْقَلُ.25تَلَفَّتُّ حَوْلِي فَلَمْ أَجِدْ إِنْسَاناً، وَإذَا كُلُّ الطُّيُورِ قَدْ هَرَبَتْ.26نَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِالأَرْضِ الْخَصِيبَةِ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةٍ، وَأَصْبَحَتْ جَمِيعُ مُدُنِهَا أَطْلالاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَأَمَامَ غَضَبِهِ الْمُحْتَدِمِ.27وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «سَتَحِيقُ الْوَحْشَةُ بِكُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنِّي لَنْ أُفْنِيَهَا.28فَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَنُوحُ الأَرْضُ وَتُظْلِمُ السَّمَاوَاتُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، لأَنِّي قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِقَضَائِي. وَهَكَذَا قَرَّرْتُ، لِذَلِكَ لَا أَنْدَمُ وَلا أَرْجِعُ عَنْ عَزْمِي.»29مِنْ جَلَبَةِ الْفَارِسِ وَرَامِي السِّهَامِ يَهْرُبُ أَهْلُ الْمُدُنِ، وَيُوْغِلُونَ فِي الْغَابَاتِ وَيَتَسَلَّقُونَ الصُّخُورَ. قَدْ أَصْبَحَتِ الْمُدُنُ جَمِيعُهَا مَهْجُورَةً لَا يُقِيمُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ.30وَأَنْتِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ الْمُوْحِشَةُ، مَاذَا تَصْنَعِينَ؟ مَهْمَا لَبِسْتِ الثِّيَابَ الْقِرْمِزِيَّةَ، وَتَحَلَّيْتِ بِزِينَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، مَهْمَا كَحَّلْتِ عَيْنَيْكِ، فَبَاطِلاً تُجَمِّلِينَ ذَاتَكِ، فَقَدْ نَبَذَكِ عُشَّاقُكِ وَسَعَوْا لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْكِ.31لأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ صَرْخَةً كَصَرْخَةِ امْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضٍ، وَأَنَّةَ عَذَابٍ كَعَذَابِ مَنْ تُقَاسِي فِي وِلادَةِ بِكْرِهَا. إِنَّهَا صَرْخَةُ ابْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ الَّتِي تَزْفِرُ لاهِثَةً وَتَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهَا قَائِلَةً: وَيْلٌ لِي! قَدْ غُشِيَ عَلَيَّ أَمَامَ الْقَتَلَةِ.
New International Version
1‘If you, Israel, will return,’ declares the Lord, ‘then return to me.’ ‘If you put your detestable idols out of my sight and no longer go astray,2and if in a truthful, just and righteous way you swear, “As surely as the Lord lives,” then the nations will invoke blessings by him and in him they will boast.’3This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem: ‘Break up your unploughed ground and do not sow among thorns.4Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, circumcise your hearts, you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire because of the evil you have done – burn with no-one to quench it.
Disaster from the North
5‘Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: “Sound the trumpet throughout the land!” Cry aloud and say: “Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!”6Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction.’7A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant.8So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the Lord has not turned away from us.9‘In that day,’ declares the Lord, ‘the king and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled.’10Then I said, ‘Alas, Sovereign Lord! How completely you have deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying, “You will have peace,” when the sword is at our throats!’11At that time this people and Jerusalem will be told, ‘A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows towards my people, but not to winnow or cleanse;12a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them.’13Look! He advances like the clouds, his chariots come like a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined!14Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbour wicked thoughts?15A voice is announcing from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim.16‘Tell this to the nations, proclaim concerning Jerusalem: “A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of Judah.17They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,” ’ declares the Lord.18‘Your own conduct and actions have brought this on you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!’19Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry.20Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment.21How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the trumpet?22‘My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good.’23I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone.24I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.25I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky had flown away.26I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert; all its towns lay in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger.27This is what the Lord says: ‘The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely.28Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back.’29At the sound of horsemen and archers every town takes to flight. Some go into the thickets; some climb up among the rocks. All the towns are deserted; no-one lives in them.30What are you doing, you devastated one? Why dress yourself in scarlet and put on jewels of gold? Why highlight your eyes with makeup? You adorn yourself in vain. Your lovers despise you; they want to kill you.31I hear a cry as of a woman in labour, a groan as of one bearing her first child – the cry of Daughter Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands and saying, ‘Alas! I am fainting; my life is given over to murderers.’
