< إِشَعْيَاءَ 30 >
«وَيْلٌ لِلْبَنِينَ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حَتَّى أَنَّهُمْ يُجْرُونَ رَأْيًا وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي، وَيَسْكُبُونَ سَكِيبًا وَلَيْسَ بِرُوحِي، لِيَزِيدُوا خَطِيئَةً عَلَى خَطِيئَةٍ. | ١ 1 |
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ لِيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلُوا فَمِي، لِيَلْتَجِئُوا إِلَى حِصْنِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَيَحْتَمُوا بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ. | ٢ 2 |
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
فَيَصِيرُ لَكُمْ حِصْنُ فِرْعَوْنَ خَجَلًا، وَٱلِٱحْتِمَاءُ بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ خِزْيًا. | ٣ 3 |
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
لِأَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَهُ صَارُوا فِي صُوعَنَ، وَبَلَغَ رُسُلُهُ إِلَى حَانِيسَ. | ٤ 4 |
For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
قَدْ خَجِلَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنْ شَعْبٍ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ. لَيْسَ لِلْمَعُونَةِ وَلَا لِلْمَنْفَعَةِ، بَلْ لِلْخَجَلِ وَلِلْخِزْيِ». | ٥ 5 |
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
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. | ٦ 6 |
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
فَإِنَّ مِصْرَ تُعِينُ بَاطِلًا وَعَبَثًا، لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْتُهَا «رَهَبَ ٱلْجُلُوسِ». | ٧ 7 |
Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
تَعَالَ ٱلْآنَ ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا عِنْدَهُمْ عَلَى لَوْحٍ وَٱرْسُمْهُ فِي سِفْرٍ، لِيَكُونَ لِزَمَنٍ آتٍ لِلْأَبَدِ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ. | ٨ 8 |
Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
لِأَنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، أَوْلَادٌ كَذَبَةٌ، أَوْلَادٌ لَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا شَرِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٩ 9 |
These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لِلرَّائِينَ: «لَا تَرَوْا»، وَلِلنَّاظِرِينَ: «لَا تَنْظُرُوا لَنَا مُسْتَقِيمَاتٍ. كَلِّمُونَا بِٱلنَّاعِمَاتِ. ٱنْظُرُوا مُخَادِعَاتٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
حِيدُوا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. مِيلُوا عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ. ٱعْزِلُوا مِنْ أَمَامِنَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ 11 |
Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ وَتَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلِٱعْوِجَاجِ وَٱسْتَنَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمَا، | ١٢ 12 |
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ كَصَدْعٍ مُنْقَضٍّ نَاتِئٍ فِي جِدَارٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، يَأْتِي هَدُّهُ بَغْتَةً فِي لَحْظَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
وَيُكْسَرُ كَكَسْرِ إِنَاءِ ٱلْخَزَّافِينَ، مَسْحُوقًا بِلَا شَفَقَةٍ، حَتَّى لَا يُوجَدُ فِي مَسْحُوقِهِ شَقَفَةٌ لِأَخْذِ نَارٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْقَدَةِ، أَوْ لِغَرْفِ مَاءٍ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ». | ١٤ 14 |
It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «بِٱلرُّجُوعِ وَٱلسُّكُونِ تَخْلُصُونَ. بِٱلْهُدُوءِ وَٱلطُّمَأْنِينَةِ تَكُونُ قُوَّتُكُمْ». فَلَمْ تَشَاءُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
وَقُلْتُمْ: «لَا بَلْ عَلَى خَيْلٍ نَهْرُبُ». لِذَلِكَ تَهْرُبُونَ. «وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ سَرِيعَةٍ نَرْكَبُ». لِذَلِكَ يُسْرُعُ طَارِدُوكُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
يَهْرُبُ أَلْفٌ مِنْ زَجْرَةِ وَاحِدٍ. مِنْ زَجْرَةِ خَمْسَةٍ تَهْرُبُونَ، حَتَّى أَنَّكُمْ تَبْقُونَ كَسَارِيَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ، وَكَرَايَةٍ عَلَى أَكَمَةٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
وَلِذَلِكَ يَنْتَظِرُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَتَرَاءَفَ عَلَيْكُمْ. وَلِذَلِكَ يَقُومُ لِيَرْحَمَكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهُ حَقٍّ. طُوبَى لِجَمِيعِ مُنْتَظِرِيهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ يَسْكُنُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. لَا تَبْكِي بُكَاءً. يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَيْكَ عِنْدَ صَوْتِ صُرَاخِكَ. حِينَمَا يَسْمَعُ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
وَيُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ خُبْزًا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ وَمَاءً فِي ٱلشِّدَّةِ. لَا يَخْتَبِئُ مُعَلِّمُوكَ بَعْدُ، بَلْ تَكُونُ عَيْنَاكَ تَرَيَانِ مُعَلِّمِيكَ، | ٢٠ 20 |
The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
وَأُذُنَاكَ تَسْمَعَانِ كَلِمَةً خَلْفَكَ قَائِلَةً: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ. ٱسْلُكُوا فِيهَا». حِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ وَحِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَسَارِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
وَتُنَجِّسُونَ صَفَائِحَ تَمَاثِيلِ فِضَّتِكُمُ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ، وَغِشَاءَ تِمْثَالِ ذَهَبِكُمُ ٱلْمَسْبُوكِ. تَطْرَحُهَا مِثْلَ فِرْصَةِ حَائِضٍ. تَقُولُ لَهَا: «ٱخْرُجِي». | ٢٢ 22 |
So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
ثُمَّ يُعْطِي مَطَرَ زَرْعِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِهِ، وَخُبْزَ غَلَّةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ دَسَمًا وَسَمِينًا، وَتَرْعَى مَاشِيَتُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ فِي مَرْعًى وَاسِعٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
وَٱلْأَبْقَارُ وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَأْكُلُ عَلَفًا مُمَلَّحًا مُذَرَّى بِٱلْمِنْسَفِ وَٱلْمِذْرَاةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
وَيَكُونُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ عَالٍ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ سَوَاقٍ وَمَجَارِي مِيَاهٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَقْتَلَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، حِينَمَا تَسْقُطُ ٱلْأَبْرَاجُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
وَيَكُونُ نُورُ ٱلْقَمَرِ كَنُورِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، وَنُورُ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَكُونُ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ كَنُورِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فِي يَوْمٍ يَجْبُرُ ٱلرَّبُّ كَسْرَ شَعْبِهِ وَيَشْفِي رَضَّ ضَرْبِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
هُوَذَا ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. غَضَبُهُ مُشْتَعِلٌ وَٱلْحَرِيقُ عَظِيمٌ. شَفَتَاهُ مُمْتَلِئَتَانِ سَخَطًا، وَلِسَانُهُ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
وَنَفْخَتُهُ كَنَهْرٍ غَامِرٍ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. لِغَرْبَلَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِغُرْبَالِ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَعَلَى فُكُوكِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ رَسَنٌ مُضِلٌّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
تَكُونُ لَكُمْ أُغْنِيَّةٌ كَلَيْلَةِ تَقْدِيسِ عِيدٍ، وَفَرَحُ قَلْبٍ كَٱلسَّائِرِ بِٱلنَّايِ، لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِلَى صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
وَيُسَمِّعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَلَالَ صَوْتِهِ، وَيُرِي نُزُولَ ذِرَاعِهِ بِهَيَجَانِ غَضَبٍ وَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، نَوْءٍ وَسَيْلٍ وَحِجَارَةِ بَرَدٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْتَاعُ أَشُّورُ. بِٱلْقَضِيبِ يَضْرِبُ. | ٣١ 31 |
For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مُرُورِ عَصَا ٱلْقَضَاءِ ٱلَّتِي يُنْزِلُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلدُّفُوفِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ. وَبِحُرُوبٍ ثَائِرَةٍ يُحَارِبُهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
لِأَنَّ «تُفْتَةَ» مُرَتَّبَةٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْأَمْسِ، مُهَيَّأَةٌ هِيَ أَيْضًا لِلْمَلِكِ، عَمِيقَةٌ وَاسِعَةٌ، كُومَتُهَا نَارٌ وَحَطَبٌ بِكَثْرَةٍ. نَفْخَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَنَهْرِ كِبْرِيتٍ تُوقِدُهَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
