1 «اُهْرُبُوا يَا بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ مِنْ وَسْطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي تَقُوعَ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ هَكَّارِيمَ ٱرْفَعُوا عَلَمَ نَارٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ أَشْرَفَ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَكَسْرٌ عَظِيمٌ.
1 “Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the middle of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem, for evil looks out from the north with a great destruction.
2 اَلْجَمِيلَةُ ٱللَّطِيفَةُ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ أُهْلِكُهَا.
2 I will cut off the beautiful and delicate one, the daughter of Zion.
3 إِلَيْهَا تَأْتِي ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَقُطْعَانُهُمْ. يَنْصِبُونَ عِنْدَهَا خِيَامًا حَوَالَيْهَا. يَرْعَوْنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ».
3 Shepherds with their flocks will come to her. They will pitch their tents against her all around. They will feed everyone in his place.”
4 «قَدِّسُوا عَلَيْهَا حَرْبًا. قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ في ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ. وَيْلٌ لَنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّهَارَ مَالَ، لِأَنَّ ظِلَالَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ ٱمْتَدَّتْ.
4 “Prepare war against her! Arise! Let’s go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 قُومُوا فَنَصْعَدَ في ٱللَّيْلِ وَنَهْدِمَ قُصُورَهَا».
5 Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.”
6 «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱقْطَعُوا أَشْجَارًا. أَقِيمُوا حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِتْرَسَةً. هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْمُعَاقَبَةُ. كُلُّهَا ظُلْمٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا.
6 For Yahweh of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is filled with oppression within herself.
7 كَمَا تُنْبِعُ ٱلْعَيْنُ مِيَاهَهَا، هَكَذَا تُنْبِعُ هِيَ شَرَّهَا. ظُلْمٌ وَخَطْفٌ يُسْمَعُ فِيهَا. أَمَامِي دَائِمًا مَرَضٌ وَضَرْبٌ.
7 As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me.
8 تَأَدَّبِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ لِئَلَّا تَجْفُوَكِ نَفْسِي. لِئَلَّا أَجْعَلَكِ خَرَابًا، أَرْضًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ.
8 Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”
9 «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: تَعْلِيلًا يُعَلِّلُونَ، كَجَفْنَةٍ، بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. رُدَّ يَدَكَ كَقَاطِفٍ إِلَى ٱلسِّلَالِ.
9 Yahweh of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.”
10 مَنْ أُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَأُنْذِرُهُمْ فَيَسْمَعُوا؟ هَا إِنَّ أُذْنَهُمْ غَلْفَاءُ فَلَا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَصْغَوْا. هَا إِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَتْ لَهُمْ عَارًا. لَا يُسَرُّونَ بِهَا.
10 To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
11 فَٱمْتَلَأْتُ مِنْ غَيْظِ ٱلرَّبِّ. مَلِلْتُ ٱلطَّاقَةَ. أَسْكُبُهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَطْفَالِ فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ وَعَلَى مَجْلِسِ ٱلشُّبَّانِ مَعًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ يُؤْخَذَانِ كِلَاهُمَا، وَٱلشَّيْخَ مَعَ ٱلْمُمْتَلِئِ أَيَّامًا.
11 Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
12 وَتَتَحَوَّلُ بُيُوتُهُمْ إِلَى آخَرِينَ، ٱلْحُقُولُ وَٱلنِّسَاءُ مَعًا، لِأَنِّي أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.
12 Their houses will be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.”
13 لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْ صَغِيرِهِمْ إِلَى كَبِيرِهِمْ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مُولَعٌ بِٱلرِّبْحِ. وَمِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ.
13 “For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 وَيَشْفُونَ كَسْرَ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي عَلَى عَثَمٍ قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ، سَلَامٌ. وَلَا سَلَامَ.
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
15 هَلْ خَزُوا لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا رِجْسًا؟ بَلْ لَمْ يَخْزَوْا خِزْيًا وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلْخَجَلَ. لِذَلِكَ يَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّاقِطِينَ. فِي وَقْتِ مُعَاقَبَتِهِمْ يَعْثُرُونَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says Yahweh.
16 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قِفُوا عَلَى ٱلطُّرُقِ وَٱنْظُرُوا، وَٱسْأَلُوا عَنِ ٱلسُّبُلِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ: أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ ٱلصَّالِحُ؟ وَسِيرُوا فِيهِ، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: لَا نَسِيرُ فِيهِ!
16 Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 وَأَقَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُقَبَاءَ قَائِلِينَ: ٱصْغَوْا لِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ. فَقَالُوا: لَا نَصْغَى!
17 I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
18 لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعُوا يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ، وَٱعْرِفِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ مَا هُوَ بَيْنَهُمْ.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
19 اِسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ثَمَرَ أَفْكَارِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَصْغَوْا لِكَلَامِي، وَشَرِيعَتِي رَفَضُوهَا.
19 Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 لِمَاذَا يَأْتِي لِي ٱللُّبَانُ مِنْ شَبَا، وَقَصَبُ ٱلذَّرِيرَةِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ؟ مُحْرَقَاتُكُمْ غَيْرُ مَقْبُولَةٍ، وَذَبَائِحُكُمْ لَا تَلُذُّ لِي.
20 To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
21 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا جَاعِلٌ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مَعْثَرَاتٍ فَيَعْثُرُ بِهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ وَٱلْأَبْنَاءُ مَعًا. اَلْجَارُ وَصَاحِبُهُ يَبِيدَانِ.
21 Therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together will stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend will perish.”
22 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ قَادِمٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأُمَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَقُومُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.
22 Yahweh says, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 تُمْسِكُ ٱلْقَوْسَ وَٱلرُّمْحَ. هِيَ قَاسِيَةٌ لَا تَرْحَمُ. صَوْتُهَا كَٱلْبَحْرِ يَعِجُّ، وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ تَرْكَبُ، مُصْطَفَّةً كَإِنْسَانٍ لِمُحَارَبَتِكِ يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ».
23 They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.”
24 سَمِعْنَا خَبَرَهَا. اِرْتَخَتْ أَيْدِينَا. أَمْسَكَنَا ضِيقٌ وَوَجَعٌ كَٱلْمَاخِضِ.
24 We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 لَا تَخْرُجُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ وَفِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ لَا تَمْشُوا، لِأَنَّ سَيْفَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ خَوْفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ.
25 Don’t go out into the field or walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror are on every side.
26 يَا ٱبْنَةَ شَعْبِي، تَنَطَّقِي بِمِسْحٍ وَتَمَرَّغِي فِي ٱلرَّمَادِ. نَوْحَ وَحِيدٍ ٱصْنَعِي لِنَفْسِكِ مَنَاحَةً مُرَّةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُخَرِّبَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا بَغْتَةً.
26 Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us.
27 «قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ بُرْجًا فِي شَعْبِي، حِصْنًا، لِتَعْرِفَ وَتَمْتَحِنَ طَرِيقَهُمْ.
27 “I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way.
28 كُلُّهُمْ عُصَاةٌ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ سَاعُونَ فِي ٱلْوِشَايَةِ. هُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَحَدِيدٌ. كُلُّهُمْ مُفْسِدُونَ.
28 They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly.
29 اِحْتَرَقَ ٱلْمِنْفَاخُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ. فَنِيَ ٱلرِّصَاصُ. بَاطِلًا صَاغَ ٱلصَّائِغُ، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَا يُفْرَزُونَ.
29 The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 فِضَّةً مَرْفُوضَةً يُدْعَوْنَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمْ».
30 Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Your whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices are not acceptable to Me;" He proceeds: "Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah.
