إِشَعْيَاءَ 14

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

Because Jehovah loveth Jacob, And hath fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And joined hath been the sojourner to them, And they have been admitted 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 peoples have taken them, And have brought them in unto their place, And the house of Israel have inherited them, On the land of Jehovah, For men-servants and for maid-servants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.

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

And it hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah's giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,

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

That thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased,

٥ 5 قَدْ كَسَّرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَصَا ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، قَضِيبَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ.

Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath Jehovah the staff of the wicked, The sceptre of rulers.

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

He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!

٧ 7 اِسْتَرَاحَتِ، ٱطْمَأَنَّتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَتَفُوا تَرَنُّمًا.

At rest — quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken forth [into] singing.

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

Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon — [saying]: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not 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)

Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)

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

All of them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like!

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

Brought down to Sheol hath been thine excellency, The noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm. (Sheol h7585)

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

How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of 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: the heavens I go up, Above stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount of meeting in the sides of the north.

١٤ 14 أَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلسَّحَابِ. أَصِيرُ مِثْلَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.

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

Only — unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)

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

Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?

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

He hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house.

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

All kings of nations — all of them, Have lain down in honour, each in his house,

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

And — thou hast been cast out of thy grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down unto the sons of the pit, As a carcase trodden down.

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

Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.

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

Prepare ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They rise not, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled 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 have risen up against them, (The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, ) And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor, The affirmation of Jehovah.

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

And have made it for a possession of a bittern, And ponds of waters, And daubed it with the mire of destruction, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!

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

Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts, saying, 'As I thought — so hath it not been? And as I counselled — it standeth;

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

To break Asshur in My land, And on My mountains I tread him down, And turned from off them hath his yoke, Yea, his burden from off their shoulder turneth aside.

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

This [is] the counsel that is counselled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.

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

For Jehovah of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn it back?'

٢٨ 28 فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ آحَازَ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْوَحْيُ:

In the year of the death of king Ahaz 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 thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying saraph.

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

And delighted have the first-born of the poor, And the needy in confidence lie down, And I have put to death with famine thy root, And thy remnant it slayeth.

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, Melted art thou, Philistia, all of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, And there is none alone in his set places.

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

And what doth one answer the messengers of a nation? 'That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in it do the poor of His people trust!'
