< إِشَعْيَاءَ 25 >
يَارَبُّ، أَنْتَ إِلَهِي أُعَظِّمُكَ. أَحْمَدُ ٱسْمَكَ لِأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ عَجَبًا. مَقَاصِدُكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ أَمَانَةٌ وَصِدْقٌ. | ١ 1 |
Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!
لِأَنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ مَدِينَةً رُجْمَةً. قَرْيَةً حَصِينَةً رَدْمًا. قَصْرَ أَعَاجِمَ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ مَدِينَةً. لَا يُبْنَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢ 2 |
You have turned the city into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.
لِذَلِكَ يُكْرِمُكَ شَعْبٌ قَوِيٌّ، وَتَخَافُ مِنْكَ قَرْيَةُ أُمَمٍ عُتَاةٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.
لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ حِصْنًا لِلْمِسْكِينِ، حِصْنًا لِلْبَائِسِ فِي ضِيقِهِ، مَلْجَأً مِنَ ٱلسَّيْلِ، ظِلًّا مِنَ ٱلْحَرِّ، إِذْ كَانَتْ نَفْخَةُ ٱلْعُتَاةِ كَسَيْلٍ عَلَى حَائِطٍ. | ٤ 4 |
But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,
كَحَرٍّ فِي يَبَسٍ تَخْفِضُ ضَجِيجَ ٱلْأَعَاجِمِ. كَحَرٍّ بِظِلِّ غَيْمٍ يُذَلُّ غِنَاءُ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. | ٥ 5 |
like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.
وَيَصْنَعُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ وَلِيمَةَ سَمَائِنَ، وَلِيمَةَ خَمْرٍ عَلَى دَرْدِيٍّ، سَمَائِنَ مُمِخَّةٍ، دَرْدِيٍّ مُصَفًّى. | ٦ 6 |
On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.
وَيُفْنِي فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ وَجْهَ ٱلنِّقَابِ. ٱلنِّقَابِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَٱلْغِطَاءَ ٱلْمُغَطَّى بِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ٧ 7 |
On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.
يَبْلَعُ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَيَمْسَحُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلدُّمُوعَ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلْوُجُوهِ، وَيَنْزِعُ عَارَ شَعْبِهِ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ. | ٨ 8 |
He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.
وَيُقَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: «هُوَذَا هَذَا إِلَهُنَا. ٱنْتَظَرْنَاهُ فَخَلَّصَنَا. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱنْتَظَرْنَاهُ. نَبْتَهِجُ وَنَفْرَحُ بِخَلَاصِهِ». | ٩ 9 |
At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”
لِأَنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَيُدَاسُ مُوآبُ فِي مَكَانِهِ كَمَا يُدَاسُ ٱلتِّبْنُ فِي مَاءِ ٱلْمَزْبَلَةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.
فَيَبْسِطُ يَدَيْهِ فِيهِ كَمَا يَبْسِطُ ٱلسَّابِحُ لِيَسْبَحَ، فَيَضَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَهُ مَعَ مَكَايِدِ يَدَيْهِ. | ١١ 11 |
They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
وَصَرْحَ ٱرْتِفَاعِ أَسْوَارِكِ يَخْفِضُهُ، يَضَعُهُ، يُلْصِقُهُ بِٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Moab, he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
