إِشَعْيَاءَ 30

١ 1 «وَيْلٌ لِلْبَنِينَ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حَتَّى أَنَّهُمْ يُجْرُونَ رَأْيًا وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي، وَيَسْكُبُونَ سَكِيبًا وَلَيْسَ بِرُوحِي، لِيَزِيدُوا خَطِيئَةً عَلَى خَطِيئَةٍ.

Woe to the rebellious sons, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ لِيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلُوا فَمِي، لِيَلْتَجِئُوا إِلَى حِصْنِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَيَحْتَمُوا بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ.

who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

٣ 3 فَيَصِيرُ لَكُمْ حِصْنُ فِرْعَوْنَ خَجَلًا، وَٱلِٱحْتِمَاءُ بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ خِزْيًا.

Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَهُ صَارُوا فِي صُوعَنَ، وَبَلَغَ رُسُلُهُ إِلَى حَانِيسَ.

For their rulers are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.

٥ 5 قَدْ خَجِلَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنْ شَعْبٍ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ. لَيْسَ لِلْمَعُونَةِ وَلَا لِلْمَنْفَعَةِ، بَلْ لِلْخَجَلِ وَلِلْخِزْيِ».

They shall all be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, who are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

٦ 6 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَهَائِمِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ: فِي أَرْضِ شِدَّةٍ وَضِيقَةٍ، مِنْهَا ٱللَّبْوَةُ وَٱلْأَسَدُ، ٱلْأَفْعَى وَٱلثُّعْبَانُ ٱلسَّامُّ ٱلطَّيَّارُ، يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَى أَكْتَافِ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ، وَعَلَى أَسْنِمَةِ ٱلْجِمَالِ كُنُوزَهُمْ، إِلَى شَعْبٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ.

The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people who shall not profit them.

٧ 7 فَإِنَّ مِصْرَ تُعِينُ بَاطِلًا وَعَبَثًا، لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْتُهَا «رَهَبَ ٱلْجُلُوسِ».

For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.

٨ 8 تَعَالَ ٱلْآنَ ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا عِنْدَهُمْ عَلَى لَوْحٍ وَٱرْسُمْهُ فِي سِفْرٍ، لِيَكُونَ لِزَمَنٍ آتٍ لِلْأَبَدِ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ.

Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، أَوْلَادٌ كَذَبَةٌ، أَوْلَادٌ لَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا شَرِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

For it is a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the law of Jehovah,

١٠ 10 ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لِلرَّائِينَ: «لَا تَرَوْا»، وَلِلنَّاظِرِينَ: «لَا تَنْظُرُوا لَنَا مُسْتَقِيمَاتٍ. كَلِّمُونَا بِٱلنَّاعِمَاتِ. ٱنْظُرُوا مُخَادِعَاتٍ.

who say to the seers, Do not see, and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things. Prophesy deceits.

١١ 11 حِيدُوا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. مِيلُوا عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ. ٱعْزِلُوا مِنْ أَمَامِنَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

Get you out of the way. Turn aside out of the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ وَتَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلِٱعْوِجَاجِ وَٱسْتَنَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمَا،

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ كَصَدْعٍ مُنْقَضٍّ نَاتِئٍ فِي جِدَارٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، يَأْتِي هَدُّهُ بَغْتَةً فِي لَحْظَةٍ.

therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

١٤ 14 وَيُكْسَرُ كَكَسْرِ إِنَاءِ ٱلْخَزَّافِينَ، مَسْحُوقًا بِلَا شَفَقَةٍ، حَتَّى لَا يُوجَدُ فِي مَسْحُوقِهِ شَقَفَةٌ لِأَخْذِ نَارٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْقَدَةِ، أَوْ لِغَرْفِ مَاءٍ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ».

And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «بِٱلرُّجُوعِ وَٱلسُّكُونِ تَخْلُصُونَ. بِٱلْهُدُوءِ وَٱلطُّمَأْنِينَةِ تَكُونُ قُوَّتُكُمْ». فَلَمْ تَشَاءُوا.

For thus said the lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,

١٦ 16 وَقُلْتُمْ: «لَا بَلْ عَلَى خَيْلٍ نَهْرُبُ». لِذَلِكَ تَهْرُبُونَ. «وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ سَرِيعَةٍ نَرْكَبُ». لِذَلِكَ يُسْرُعُ طَارِدُوكُمْ.

but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses. Therefore ye shall flee. And ye said, We will ride upon the swift. Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

١٧ 17 يَهْرُبُ أَلْفٌ مِنْ زَجْرَةِ وَاحِدٍ. مِنْ زَجْرَةِ خَمْسَةٍ تَهْرُبُونَ، حَتَّى أَنَّكُمْ تَبْقُونَ كَسَارِيَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ، وَكَرَايَةٍ عَلَى أَكَمَةٍ.

One thousand shall flee at the threat of one. Ye shall flee at the threat of five, till ye are left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

١٨ 18 وَلِذَلِكَ يَنْتَظِرُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَتَرَاءَفَ عَلَيْكُمْ. وَلِذَلِكَ يَقُومُ لِيَرْحَمَكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهُ حَقٍّ. طُوبَى لِجَمِيعِ مُنْتَظِرِيهِ.

And therefore Jehovah will wait, that he may be gracious to you. And therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you, for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ يَسْكُنُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. لَا تَبْكِي بُكَاءً. يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَيْكَ عِنْدَ صَوْتِ صُرَاخِكَ. حِينَمَا يَسْمَعُ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكَ.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. Thou shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry. When he shall hear, he will answer thee.

٢٠ 20 وَيُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ خُبْزًا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ وَمَاءً فِي ٱلشِّدَّةِ. لَا يَخْتَبِئُ مُعَلِّمُوكَ بَعْدُ، بَلْ تَكُونُ عَيْنَاكَ تَرَيَانِ مُعَلِّمِيكَ،

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet thy teachers shall not be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.

٢١ 21 وَأُذُنَاكَ تَسْمَعَانِ كَلِمَةً خَلْفَكَ قَائِلَةً: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ. ٱسْلُكُوا فِيهَا». حِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ وَحِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَسَارِ.

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

٢٢ 22 وَتُنَجِّسُونَ صَفَائِحَ تَمَاثِيلِ فِضَّتِكُمُ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ، وَغِشَاءَ تِمْثَالِ ذَهَبِكُمُ ٱلْمَسْبُوكِ. تَطْرَحُهَا مِثْلَ فِرْصَةِ حَائِضٍ. تَقُولُ لَهَا: «ٱخْرُجِي».

And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold. Thou shall cast them away as an unclean thing. Thou shall say to it, Get thee away.

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ يُعْطِي مَطَرَ زَرْعِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِهِ، وَخُبْزَ غَلَّةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ دَسَمًا وَسَمِينًا، وَتَرْعَى مَاشِيَتُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فِي مَرْعًى وَاسِعٍ.

And he will give the rain for thy seed, with which thou shall sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day thy cattle shall feed in large pastures.

٢٤ 24 وَٱلْأَبْقَارُ وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَأْكُلُ عَلَفًا مُمَلَّحًا مُذَرَّى بِٱلْمِنْسَفِ وَٱلْمِذْرَاةِ.

Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

٢٥ 25 وَيَكُونُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ عَالٍ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ سَوَاقٍ وَمَجَارِي مِيَاهٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَقْتَلَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، حِينَمَا تَسْقُطُ ٱلْأَبْرَاجُ.

And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

٢٦ 26 وَيَكُونُ نُورُ ٱلْقَمَرِ كَنُورِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، وَنُورُ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَكُونُ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ كَنُورِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فِي يَوْمٍ يَجْبُرُ ٱلرَّبُّ كَسْرَ شَعْبِهِ وَيَشْفِي رَضَّ ضَرْبِهِ.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.

٢٧ 27 هُوَذَا ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. غَضَبُهُ مُشْتَعِلٌ وَٱلْحَرِيقُ عَظِيمٌ. شَفَتَاهُ مُمْتَلِئَتَانِ سَخَطًا، وَلِسَانُهُ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ،

Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire,

٢٨ 28 وَنَفْخَتُهُ كَنَهْرٍ غَامِرٍ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. لِغَرْبَلَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِغُرْبَالِ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَعَلَى فُكُوكِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ رَسَنٌ مُضِلٌّ.

and his breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. And a bridle that causes to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.

٢٩ 29 تَكُونُ لَكُمْ أُغْنِيَّةٌ كَلَيْلَةِ تَقْدِيسِ عِيدٍ، وَفَرَحُ قَلْبٍ كَٱلسَّائِرِ بِٱلنَّايِ، لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِلَى صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as he who goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.

٣٠ 30 وَيُسَمِّعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَلَالَ صَوْتِهِ، وَيُرِي نُزُولَ ذِرَاعِهِ بِهَيَجَانِ غَضَبٍ وَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، نَوْءٍ وَسَيْلٍ وَحِجَارَةِ بَرَدٍ.

And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the coming down of his arm with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast and tempest and hailstones.

٣١ 31 لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْتَاعُ أَشُّورُ. بِٱلْقَضِيبِ يَضْرِبُ.

For through the voice of Jehovah the Assyrian shall be dismayed. With his rod he will smite him.

٣٢ 32 وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مُرُورِ عَصَا ٱلْقَضَاءِ ٱلَّتِي يُنْزِلُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلدُّفُوفِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ. وَبِحُرُوبٍ ثَائِرَةٍ يُحَارِبُهُ.

And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tambourine and harps. And he will fight with them in battles with the brandishing of his arm.

٣٣ 33 لِأَنَّ «تُفْتَةَ» مُرَتَّبَةٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْأَمْسِ، مُهَيَّأَةٌ هِيَ أَيْضًا لِلْمَلِكِ، عَمِيقَةٌ وَاسِعَةٌ، كُومَتُهَا نَارٌ وَحَطَبٌ بِكَثْرَةٍ. نَفْخَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَنَهْرِ كِبْرِيتٍ تُوقِدُهَا.

For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.
