2 GLT «قِفْ فِي بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَنَادِ هُنَاكَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ وَقُلْ: اِسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ لِتَسْجُدُوا لِلرَّبِّ. BSB BSB: “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
3 GLT هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَصْلِحُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ فَأُسْكِنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. BSB BSB: Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
4 GLT لَا تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ قَائِلِينَ: هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ، هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ، هَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ! BSB BSB: Do not trust in deceptive words, saying: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
5 GLT لِأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ أَصْلَحْتُمْ إِصْلَاحًا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، إِنْ أَجْرَيْتُمْ عَدْلًا بَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَصَاحِبِهِ، BSB BSB: For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
6 GLT إِنْ لَمْ تَظْلِمُوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ وَٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ، وَلَمْ تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَلَمْ تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِأَذَائِكُمْ BSB BSB: if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm,
7 GLT فَإِنِّي أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لِآبَائِكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. BSB BSB: then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
8 GLT «هَا إِنَّكُمْ مُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَنْفَعُ. BSB BSB: But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
9 GLT أَتَسْرِقُونَ وَتَقْتُلُونَ وَتَزْنُونَ وَتَحْلِفُونَ كَذِبًا وَتُبَخِّرُونَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَتَسِيرُونَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا، BSB BSB: Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
10 GLT ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ وَتَقِفُونَ أَمَامِي فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُونَ: قَدْ أُنْقِذْنَا. حَتَّى تَعْمَلُوا كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ؟ BSB BSB: and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
12 GLT لَكِنِ ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَوْضِعِي ٱلَّذِي فِي شِيلُوهَ ٱلَّذِي أَسْكَنْتُ فِيهِ ٱسْمِي أَوَّلًا، وَٱنْظُرُوا مَا صَنَعْتُ بِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. BSB BSB: But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
13 GLT وَٱلْآنَ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَعْمَالَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُكَلِّمًا فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَدَعَوْتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، BSB BSB: And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
14 GLT أَصْنَعُ بِٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي عَلَيْهِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ مُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَبِالْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ وَآبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهُ، كَمَا صَنَعْتُ بِشِيلُوهَ. BSB BSB: therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
15 GLT وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي كَمَا طَرَحْتُ كُلَّ إِخْوَتِكُمْ، كُلَّ نَسْلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. BSB BSB: And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
16 GLT وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تُصَلِّ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَلَا تَرْفَعْ لِأَجْلِهِمْ دُعَاءً وَلَا صَلَاةً، وَلَا تُلِحَّ عَلَيَّ لِأَنِّي لَا أَسْمَعُكَ. BSB BSB: As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.
17 GLT «أَمَا تَرَى مَاذَا يَعْمَلُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ BSB BSB: Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 GLT ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ يَلْتَقِطُونَ حَطَبًا، وَٱلْآبَاءُ يُوقِدُونَ ٱلنَّارَ، وَٱلنِّسَاءُ يَعْجِنَّ ٱلْعَجِينَ، لِيَصْنَعْنَ كَعْكًا لِمَلِكَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلِسَكْبِ سَكَائِبَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِكَيْ يُغِيظُونِي. BSB BSB: The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
19 GLT أَفَإِيَّايَ يُغِيظُونَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَلَيْسَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِأَجْلِ خِزْيِ وُجُوهِهِمْ؟ BSB BSB: But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
20 GLT لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا غَضَبِي وَغَيْظِي يَنْسَكِبَانِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَعَلَى شَجَرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَعَلَى ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَتَّقِدَانِ وَلَا يَنْطَفِئَانِ. BSB BSB: Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
21 GLT «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ضُمُّوا مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِكُمْ وَكُلُوا لَحْمًا. BSB BSB: This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
22 GLT لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُكَلِّمْ آبَاءَكُمْ وَلَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ جِهَةِ مُحْرَقَةٍ وَذَبِيحَةٍ. BSB BSB: For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
23 GLT بَلْ إِنَّمَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ قَائِلًا: ٱسْمَعُوا صَوْتِي فَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا، وَسِيرُوا فِي كُلِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ لِيُحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ. BSB BSB: but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.
24 GLT فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذْنَهُمْ، بَلْ سَارُوا فِي مَشُورَاتِ وَعِنَادِ قَلْبِهِمِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَأَعْطَوْا ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ. BSB BSB: Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
25 GLT فَمِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَ فِيهِ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، مُبَكِّرًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَمُرْسِلًا. BSB BSB: From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again.
26 GLT فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي وَلَمْ يُمِيلُوا أُذُنَهُمْ، بَلْ صَلَّبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ. أَسَاءُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ. BSB BSB: Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
27 GLT فَتُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ لَكَ، وَتَدْعُوهُمْ وَلَا يُجِيبُونَكَ. BSB BSB: When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
28 GLT فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهَا وَلَمْ تَقْبَلْ تَأْدِيبًا. بَادَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَقُطِعَ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ. BSB BSB: Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips.
29 GLT «جُزِّي شَعْرَكِ وَٱطْرَحِيهِ، وَٱرْفَعِي عَلَى ٱلْهِضَابِ مَرْثَاةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَ وَرَذَلَ جِيلَ رِجْزِهِ. BSB BSB: Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
32 GLT «لِذَلِكَ هَا هِيَ أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يُسَمَّى بَعْدُ تُوفَةُ وَلَا وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، بَلْ وَادِي ٱلْقَتْلِ. وَيَدْفِنُونَ فِي تُوفَةَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ مَوْضِعٌ. BSB BSB: So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
33 GLT وَتَصِيرُ جُثَثُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ أُكْلًا لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا مُزْعِجَ. BSB BSB: The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.
34 GLT وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ صَوْتَ ٱلطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْفَرَحِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْعَرُوسِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا. BSB BSB: I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”
