إِشَعْيَاءَ 14

١ 1 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَيَرْحَمُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيَخْتَارُ أَيْضًا إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيُرِيحُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، فَتَقْتَرِنُ بِهِمِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ وَيَنْضَمُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ.

For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

٢ 2 وَيَأْخُذُهُمْ شُعُوبٌ وَيَأْتُونَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُهُمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً، وَيَسْبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ وَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ظَالِمِيهِمْ.

And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and for handmaids; and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

٣ 3 وَيَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ يُرِيحُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ تَعَبِكَ وَمِنِ ٱنْزِعَاجِكَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱسْتُعْبِدْتَ بِهَا،

And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy travail, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve,

٤ 4 أَنَّكَ تَنْطِقُ بِهَذَا ٱلْهَجْوِ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتَقُولُ: «كَيْفَ بَادَ ٱلظَّالِمُ، بَادَتِ ٱلْمُغَطْرِسَةُ؟

that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the oppressor ceased! the exactress of gold ceased!

٥ 5 قَدْ كَسَّرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَصَا ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، قَضِيبَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ.

The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers,

٦ 6 ٱلضَّارِبُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ بِسَخَطٍ، ضَرْبَةً بِلَا فُتُورٍ. ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُ بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، بِٱضْطِهَادٍ بِلَا إمْسَاكٍ.

That smote the peoples in wrath with an incessant stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.

٧ 7 اِسْتَرَاحَتِ، ٱطْمَأَنَّتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَتَفُوا تَرَنُّمًا.

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.

٨ 8 حَتَّى ٱلسَّرْوُ يَفْرَحُ عَلَيْكَ، وَأَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ قَائِلًا: مُنْذُ ٱضْطَجَعْتَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ عَلَيْنَا قَاطِعٌ.

Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.'

٩ 9 اَلْهَاوِيَةُ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ مُهْتَزَّةٌ لَكَ، لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ قُدُومِكَ، مُنْهِضَةٌ لَكَ ٱلْأَخْيِلَةَ، جَمِيعَ عُظَمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَقَامَتْ كُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ عَنْ كَرَاسِيِّهِمْ. (Sheol h7585)

The nether-world from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; the shades are stirred up for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; all the kings of the nations are raised up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)

١٠ 10 كُلُّهُمْ يُجِيبُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ لَكَ: أَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَعُفْتَ نَظِيرَنَا وَصِرْتَ مِثْلَنَا؟

All they do answer and say unto thee: 'Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?

١١ 11 أُهْبِطَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَخْرُكَ، رَنَّةُ أَعْوَادِكَ. تَحْتَكَ تُفْرَشُ ٱلرِّمَّةُ، وَغِطَاؤُكَ ٱلدُّودُ. (Sheol h7585)

Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world, and the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.' (Sheol h7585)

١٢ 12 كَيْفَ سَقَطْتِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يَا زُهَرَةُ، بِنْتَ ٱلصُّبْحِ؟ كَيْفَ قُطِعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَا قَاهِرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ؟

How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations!

١٣ 13 وَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: أَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. أَرْفَعُ كُرْسِيِّي فَوْقَ كَوَاكِبِ ٱللهِ، وَأَجْلِسُ عَلَى جَبَلِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ فِي أَقَاصِي ٱلشَّمَالِ.

And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north;

١٤ 14 أَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلسَّحَابِ. أَصِيرُ مِثْلَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.'

١٥ 15 لَكِنَّكَ ٱنْحَدَرْتَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، إِلَى أَسَافِلِ ٱلْجُبِّ. (Sheol h7585)

Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world, to the uttermost parts of the pit. (Sheol h7585)

١٦ 16 اَلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَكَ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ إِلَيْكَ، يَتَأَمَّلُونَ فِيكَ. أَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي زَلْزَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَزَعْزَعَ ٱلْمَمَالِكَ،

They that saw thee do narrowly look upon thee, they gaze earnestly at thee: 'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

١٧ 17 ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كَقَفْرٍ، وَهَدَمَ مُدُنَهُ، ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُطْلِقْ أَسْرَاهُ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟

That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?'

١٨ 18 كُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَجْمَعِهِمِ ٱضْطَجَعُوا بِٱلْكَرَامَةِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.

١٩ 19 وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ طُرِحْتَ مِنْ قَبْرِكَ كَغُصْنٍ أَشْنَعَ، كَلِبَاسِ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْمَضْرُوبِينَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، ٱلْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى حِجَارَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ، كَجُثَّةٍ مَدُوسَةٍ.

But thou art cast forth away from thy grave like an abhorred offshoot, in the raiment of the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the pavement of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.

٢٠ 20 لَا تَتَّحِدُ بِهِمْ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ لِأَنَّكَ أَخْرَبْتَ أَرْضَكَ، قَتَلْتَ شَعْبَكَ. لَا يُسَمَّى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ نَسْلُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ.

Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever.

٢١ 21 هَيِّئُوا لِبَنِيهِ قَتْلًا بِإِثْمِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَلَا يَقُومُوا وَلَا يَرِثُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُوا وَجْهَ ٱلْعَالَمِ مُدُنًا».

Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.

٢٢ 22 «فَأَقُومُ عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. وَأَقْطَعُ مِنْ بَابِلَ ٱسْمًا وَبَقِيَّةً وَنَسْلًا وَذُرِّيَّةً، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and offshoot and offspring, saith the LORD.

٢٣ 23 وَأَجْعَلُهَا مِيرَاثًا لِلْقُنْفُذِ، وَآجَامَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأُكَنِّسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

٢٤ 24 قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّهُ كَمَا قَصَدْتُ يَصِيرُ، وَكَمَا نَوَيْتُ يَثْبُتُ:

The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,

٢٥ 25 أَنْ أُحَطِّمَ أَشُّورَ فِي أَرْضِي وَأَدُوسَهُ عَلَى جِبَالِي، فَيَزُولَ عَنْهُمْ نِيرُهُ، وَيَزُولَ عَنْ كَتِفِهِمْ حِمْلُهُ».

That I will break Asshur in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.

٢٦ 26 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلقَضَاءُ ٱلْمَقْضِيُّ بِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْيَدُ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

٢٧ 27 فَإِنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ قَضَى، فَمَنْ يُبَطِّلُ؟ وَيَدُهُ هِيَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةُ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟

For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

٢٨ 28 فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ آحَازَ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْوَحْيُ:

In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

٢٩ 29 لَا تَفْرَحِي يَا جَمِيعَ فِلِسْطِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَضِيبَ ٱلضَّارِبَكِ ٱنْكَسَرَ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَصْلِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ يَخْرُجُ أُفْعُوانٌ، وَثَمَرَتُهُ تَكُونُ ثُعْبَانًا مُسِمًّا طَيَّارًا.

Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying serpent.

٣٠ 30 وَتَرْعَى أَبْكَارُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَرْبِضُ ٱلْبَائِسُونَ بِٱلْأَمَانِ، وَأُمِيتُ أَصْلَكِ بِٱلْجُوعِ، فَيَقْتُلُ بَقِيَّتَكِ.

And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.

٣١ 31 وَلْوِلْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَابُ. ٱصْرُخِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ. قَدْ ذَابَ جَمِيعُكِ يَا فِلِسْطِينُ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي دُخَانٌ، وَلَيْسَ شَاذٌّ فِي جُيُوشِهِ.

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

٣٢ 32 فَبِمَاذَا يُجَابُ رُسُلُ ٱلْأُمَمِ؟ إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَسَّسَ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا يَحْتَمِي بَائِسُو شَعْبِهِ.

What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of His people take refuge.
