إِشَعْيَاءَ 21
| وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْبَحْرِ: كَزَوَابِعَ فِي ٱلْجَنُوبِ عَاصِفَةٍ، يَأْتِي مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ مَخُوفَةٍ. | ١ 1 |
The burden of the desert of the sea. Just as the whirlwinds approach from Africa, it approaches from the desert, from a terrible land.
| قَدْ أُعْلِنَتْ لِي رُؤْيَا قَاسِيَةٌ: ٱلنَّاهِبُ نَاهِبًا وَٱلْمُخْرِبُ مُخْرِبًا. اِصْعَدِي يَا عِيلَامُ. حَاصِرِي يَا مَادِي. قَدْ أَبْطَلْتُ كُلَّ أَنِينِهَا. | ٢ 2 |
A difficult vision has been announced to me: he who is unbelieving, he acts unfaithfully, and he who is a plunderer, he devastates. Ascend, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I have caused all its mourning to cease.
| لِذَلِكَ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ حَقْوَايَ وَجَعًا، وَأَخَذَنِي مَخَاضٌ كَمَخَاضِ ٱلْوَالِدَةِ. تَلَوَّيْتُ حَتَّى لَا أَسْمَعُ. اَنْدَهَشْتُ حَتَّى لَا أَنْظُرُ. | ٣ 3 |
Because of this, my lower back has been filled with pain, and anguish has possessed me, like the anguish of a woman in labor. I fell down when I heard it. I was disturbed when I saw it.
| تَاهَ قَلْبِي. بَغَتَنِي رُعْبٌ. لَيْلَةُ لَذَّتِي جَعَلَهَا لِي رِعْدَةً. | ٤ 4 |
My heart withered. The darkness stupefied me. Babylon, my beloved, has become a wonder to me.
| يُرَتِّبُونَ ٱلْمَائِدَةَ، يَحْرُسُونَ ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ، يَأْكُلُونَ. يَشْرَبُونَ. قُومُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ٱمْسَحُوا ٱلْمِجَنَّ! | ٥ 5 |
Prepare the table. Contemplate, from a place of observation, those who eat and drink. Rise up, you leaders! Take up the shield!
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ: «ٱذْهَبْ أَقِمِ ٱلْحَارِسَ. لِيُخْبِرْ بِمَا يَرَى». | ٦ 6 |
For the Lord has said this to me: “Go and station a watchman. And let him announce whatever he will see.”
| فَرَأَى رُكَّابًا أَزْوَاجَ فُرْسَانٍ. رُكَّابَ حَمِيرٍ. رُكَّابَ جِمَالٍ. فَأَصْغَى إِصْغَاءً شَدِيدًا، | ٧ 7 |
And he saw a chariot with two horsemen, and a rider on a donkey, and a rider on a camel. And he considered them diligently, with an intense gaze.
| ثُمَّ صَرَخَ كَأَسَدٍ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، أَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَرْصَدِ دَائِمًا فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَأَنَا وَاقِفٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَحْرَسِ كُلَّ ٱللَّيَالِي. | ٨ 8 |
And a lion cried out: “I am on the watchtower of the Lord, standing continually by day. And I am at my station, standing throughout the night.
| وَهُوَذَا رُكَّابٌ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ. أَزْوَاجٌ مِنَ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ». فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: «سَقَطَتْ، سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ، وَجَمِيعُ تَمَاثِيلِ آلِهَتِهَا ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ كَسَّرَهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٩ 9 |
Behold, a certain man approaches, a man riding on a two-horse chariot.” And he responded, and he said: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! And all its graven gods have been crushed into the earth!
| يَا دِيَاسَتِي وَبَنِي بَيْدَرِي. مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
O my threshed grain! O sons of my threshing floor! What I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have announced to you.”
| وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ دُومَةَ: صَرَخَ إِلَيَّ صَارِخٌ مِنْ سَعِيرَ: «يَا حَارِسُ، مَا مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ؟ يَا حَارِسُ، مَا مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ؟» | ١١ 11 |
The burden of Dumah, cried out to me from Seir: “Watchman, how goes the night? Watchman, how goes the night?”
| قَالَ ٱلْحَارِسُ: «أَتَى صَبَاحٌ وَأَيْضًا لَيْلٌ. إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ فَٱطْلُبُوا. ٱرْجِعُوا، تَعَالَوْا». | ١٢ 12 |
The watchman said: “Morning approaches with the night. If you are seeking: seek, and convert, and approach.”
| وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ بِلَادِ ٱلْعَرَبِ: فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ فِي بِلَادِ ٱلْعَرَبِ تَبِيتِينَ، يَا قَوَافِلَ ٱلدَّدَانِيِّينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
The burden in Arabia. In the forest you shall sleep, in the evening on the paths of Dedanim.
| هَاتُوا مَاءً لِمُلَاقَاةِ ٱلْعَطْشَانِ، يَا سُكَّانَ أَرْضِ تَيْمَاءَ. وَافُوا ٱلْهَارِبَ بِخُبْزِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
You who inhabit the land of the south: upon meeting the thirsty, bring water; meet the fugitive with bread.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلسُّيُوفِ قَدْ هَرَبُوا. مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلْمَسْلُولِ، وَمِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْقَوْسِ ٱلْمَشْدُودَةِ، وَمِنْ أَمَامِ شِدَّةِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. | ١٥ 15 |
For they are fleeing before the face of swords, before the face of a sword hanging over them, before the face of a bent bow, before the face of a grievous battle.
| فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِيَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ: «فِي مُدَّةِ سَنَةٍ كَسَنَةِ ٱلْأَجِيرِ يَفْنَى كُلُّ مَجْدِ قِيدَارَ، | ١٦ 16 |
For the Lord said this to me: “After one more year, just like one year for a hired hand, all the glory of Kedar will be taken away.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ عَدَدِ قِسِيِّ أَبْطَالِ بَنِي قِيدَارَ تَقِلُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ». | ١٧ 17 |
And the remainder of the multitude of strong archers from the sons of Kedar will be few, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”
