إِشَعْيَاءَ 24

١ 1 هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُخْلِي ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيُفْرِغُهَا وَيَقْلِبُ وَجْهَهَا وَيُبَدِّدُ سُكَّانَهَا.

Behold, Adonai makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.

٢ 2 وَكَمَا يَكُونُ ٱلشَّعْبُ هَكَذَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ. كَمَا ٱلْعَبْدُ هَكَذَا سَيِّدُهُ. كَمَا ٱلْأَمَةُ هَكَذَا سَيِّدَتُهَا. كَمَا ٱلشَّارِي هَكَذَا ٱلْبَائِعُ. كَمَا ٱلْمُقْرِضُ هَكَذَا ٱلْمُقْتَرِضُ. وَكَمَا ٱلدَّائِنُ هَكَذَا ٱلْمَدْيُونُ.

It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.

٣ 3 تُفْرَغُ ٱلْأَرْضُ إِفْرَاغًا وَتُنْهَبُ نَهْبًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ.

The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Adonai has spoken this word.

٤ 4 نَاحَتْ ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. حَزِنَتْ ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ. حَزِنَ مُرْتَفِعُو شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.

٥ 5 وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَدَنَّسَتْ تَحْتَ سُكَّانِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ تَعَدَّوْا ٱلشَّرَائِعَ، غَيَّرُوا ٱلْفَرِيضَةَ، نَكَثُوا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّ.

The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the torot ·teachings·, changed the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ لَعْنَةٌ أَكَلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعُوقِبَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. لِذَلِكَ ٱحْتَرَقَ سُكَّانُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَبَقِيَ أُنَاسٌ قَلَائِلُ.

Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found condemned guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

٧ 7 نَاحَ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ، ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْكَرْمَةُ، أَنَّ كُلُّ مَسْرُورِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.

٨ 8 بَطَلَ فَرَحُ ٱلدُّفُوفِ، ٱنْقَطَعَ ضَجِيجُ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجِينَ، بَطَلَ فَرَحُ ٱلْعُودِ.

The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.

٩ 9 لَا يَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرًا بِٱلْغِنَاءِ. يَكُونُ ٱلْمُسْكِرُ مُرًّا لِشَارِبِيهِ.

They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.

١٠ 10 دُمِّرَتْ قَرْيَةُ ٱلْخَرَابِ. أُغْلِقَ كُلُّ بَيْتٍ عَنِ ٱلدُّخُولِ.

The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

١١ 11 صُرَاخٌ عَلَى ٱلْخَمْرِ فِي ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ. غَرَبَ كُلُّ فَرَحٍ. ٱنْتَفَى سُرُورُ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.

١٢ 12 اَلْبَاقِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَرَابٌ، وَضُرِبَ ٱلْبَابُ رَدْمًا.

The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

١٣ 13 إِنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كَنُفَاضَةِ زَيْتُونَةٍ، كَٱلْخُصَاصَةِ إِذِ ٱنْتَهَى ٱلْقِطَافُ.

For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.

١٤ 14 هُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ. لِأَجْلِ عَظَمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ يُصَوِّتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Adonai. They cry aloud from the sea.

١٥ 15 لِذَلِكَ فِي ٱلْمَشَارِقِ مَجِّدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. فِي جَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ مَجِّدُوا ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Therefore glorify Adonai in the east, even the name of Yahweh, Elohim Isra'el [He sustains breathing, God of God prevails], in the islands of the sea!

١٦ 16 مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ سَمِعْنَا تَرْنِيمَةً: «مَجْدًا لِلْبَارِّ». فَقُلْتُ: «يَا تَلَفِي، يَا تَلَفِي! وَيْلٌ لِي! ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ نَهَبُوا. ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ نَهَبُوا نَهْبًا».

From the uttermost part of the earth have we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· songs. Glory to the upright! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

١٧ 17 عَلَيْكَ رُعْبٌ وَحُفْرَةٌ وَفَخٌّ يَا سَاكِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth.

١٨ 18 وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلْهَارِبَ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلرُّعْبِ يَسْقُطُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، وَٱلصَّاعِدَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ يُؤْخَذُ بِٱلْفَخِّ. لِأَنَّ مَيَازِيبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ، وَأُسُسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَزَلْزَلَتْ.

It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

١٩ 19 اِنْسَحَقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱنْسِحَاقًا. تَشَقَّقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَشَقُّقًا. تَزَعْزَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَعْزُعًا.

The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.

٢٠ 20 تَرَنَّحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَرَنُّحًا كَٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَتَدَلْدَلَتْ كَٱلْعِرْزَالِ، وَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهَا ذَنْبُهَا، فَسَقَطَتْ وَلَا تَعُودُ تَقُومُ.

The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its rebellious breach of relationship will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.

٢١ 21 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُطَالِبُ جُنْدَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ فِي ٱلْعَلَاءِ، وَمُلُوكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

It shall happen in that day that Adonai will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

٢٢ 22 وَيُجْمَعُونَ جَمْعًا كَأَسَارَى فِي سِجْنٍ، وَيُغْلَقُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي حَبْسٍ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ يَتَعَهَّدُونَ.

They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit (of Abbadon, the unrighteous side of Sheol), and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.

٢٣ 23 وَيَخْجَلُ ٱلْقَمَرُ وَتُخْزَى ٱلشَّمْسُ، لِأَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ مَلَكَ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقُدَّامَ شُيُوخِهِ مَجْدٌ.

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will reign on Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and in Jerusalem [City of peace]; and before his elders will be kavod ·weighty glory·.
