< إِشَعْيَاءَ 30 >
«وَيْلٌ لِلْبَنِينَ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حَتَّى أَنَّهُمْ يُجْرُونَ رَأْيًا وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي، وَيَسْكُبُونَ سَكِيبًا وَلَيْسَ بِرُوحِي، لِيَزِيدُوا خَطِيئَةً عَلَى خَطِيئَةٍ. | ١ 1 |
Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation but not from my spirit, —That they may add sin to sin:
ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ لِيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلُوا فَمِي، لِيَلْتَجِئُوا إِلَى حِصْنِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَيَحْتَمُوا بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ. | ٢ 2 |
Who are setting out to go down to Egypt, But at my mouth, have not asked, —Betaking them to the protection of Pharaoh And seeking refuge under the shadow of Egypt.
فَيَصِيرُ لَكُمْ حِصْنُ فِرْعَوْنَ خَجَلًا، وَٱلِٱحْتِمَاءُ بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ خِزْيًا. | ٣ 3 |
Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh become to you a shame, And, the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, an insult;
لِأَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَهُ صَارُوا فِي صُوعَنَ، وَبَلَغَ رُسُلُهُ إِلَى حَانِيسَ. | ٤ 4 |
For their princes have been, in Zoan, —And, their messengers unto Hanes, would draw near.
قَدْ خَجِلَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنْ شَعْبٍ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ. لَيْسَ لِلْمَعُونَةِ وَلَا لِلْمَنْفَعَةِ، بَلْ لِلْخَجَلِ وَلِلْخِزْيِ». | ٥ 5 |
Every one, hath felt ashamed of a people that could not serve them, —Neither with help, nor with service, But they are a shame, yea even a 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 |
The Oracle on the Beasts of the South, —Through a land of distress and oppression—Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses their wealth And on the humps of camels their treasures Unto a people that cannot serve them.
فَإِنَّ مِصْرَ تُعِينُ بَاطِلًا وَعَبَثًا، لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْتُهَا «رَهَبَ ٱلْجُلُوسِ». | ٧ 7 |
But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help, —Therefore have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent, they sit still!
تَعَالَ ٱلْآنَ ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا عِنْدَهُمْ عَلَى لَوْحٍ وَٱرْسُمْهُ فِي سِفْرٍ، لِيَكُونَ لِزَمَنٍ آتٍ لِلْأَبَدِ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ. | ٨ 8 |
Now, enter—Write it upon a tablet before them And upon a scroll, inscribe it, —That it may serve for a later day, For futurity, unto times age-abiding: —
لِأَنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، أَوْلَادٌ كَذَبَةٌ، أَوْلَادٌ لَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا شَرِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٩ 9 |
That it is, a rebellious people, Sons apt at deceiving, —Sons unwilling to hear the law of Yahweh:
ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لِلرَّائِينَ: «لَا تَرَوْا»، وَلِلنَّاظِرِينَ: «لَا تَنْظُرُوا لَنَا مُسْتَقِيمَاتٍ. كَلِّمُونَا بِٱلنَّاعِمَاتِ. ٱنْظُرُوا مُخَادِعَاتٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
Who have said to the seers, Ye must not see! To the prophets, Ye must not prophesy to us reproofs! Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy delusions:
حِيدُوا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. مِيلُوا عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ. ٱعْزِلُوا مِنْ أَمَامِنَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ 11 |
Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path, —Desist from setting before us the Holy One of Israel.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ وَتَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلِٱعْوِجَاجِ وَٱسْتَنَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمَا، | ١٢ 12 |
Therefore—Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word, —And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,
لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ كَصَدْعٍ مُنْقَضٍّ نَاتِئٍ فِي جِدَارٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، يَأْتِي هَدُّهُ بَغْتَةً فِي لَحْظَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore, shall this iniquity become to you As a breach ready to fall, A bulging in a high wall, —Whose breaking down cometh, suddenly in a twinkling.
وَيُكْسَرُ كَكَسْرِ إِنَاءِ ٱلْخَزَّافِينَ، مَسْحُوقًا بِلَا شَفَقَةٍ، حَتَّى لَا يُوجَدُ فِي مَسْحُوقِهِ شَقَفَةٌ لِأَخْذِ نَارٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْقَدَةِ، أَوْ لِغَرْفِ مَاءٍ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ». | ١٤ 14 |
Yea he will break it—as the breaking of the pitcher of a potter, crushed, he will not spare; So that there shall not be found when it is smashed, A sherd wherewith to snatch fire from a hearth, Or to skim off water out of a cistern.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «بِٱلرُّجُوعِ وَٱلسُّكُونِ تَخْلُصُونَ. بِٱلْهُدُوءِ وَٱلطُّمَأْنِينَةِ تَكُونُ قُوَّتُكُمْ». فَلَمْ تَشَاءُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel—By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, —Howbeit ye would not!
وَقُلْتُمْ: «لَا بَلْ عَلَى خَيْلٍ نَهْرُبُ». لِذَلِكَ تَهْرُبُونَ. «وَعَلَى خَيْلٍ سَرِيعَةٍ نَرْكَبُ». لِذَلِكَ يُسْرُعُ طَارِدُوكُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
But ye said, —Nay! but on horses, will we flee For this cause, shall ye indeed flee, —And on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:
يَهْرُبُ أَلْفٌ مِنْ زَجْرَةِ وَاحِدٍ. مِنْ زَجْرَةِ خَمْسَةٍ تَهْرُبُونَ، حَتَّى أَنَّكُمْ تَبْقُونَ كَسَارِيَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ، وَكَرَايَةٍ عَلَى أَكَمَةٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
One thousand, before the war-cry of one—before the war-cry of five, shall ye flee, —Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as an ensign upon a hill.
وَلِذَلِكَ يَنْتَظِرُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَتَرَاءَفَ عَلَيْكُمْ. وَلِذَلِكَ يَقُومُ لِيَرْحَمَكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهُ حَقٍّ. طُوبَى لِجَمِيعِ مُنْتَظِرِيهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And, therefore, will Yahweh wait, That he may grant you favour, And, therefore, will he lift himself up, That he may show you compassion, —For A God of justice, is, Yahweh, How happy all they who are waiting for him
لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ يَسْكُنُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. لَا تَبْكِي بُكَاءً. يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَيْكَ عِنْدَ صَوْتِ صُرَاخِكَ. حِينَمَا يَسْمَعُ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem, —As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry, —As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!
وَيُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ خُبْزًا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ وَمَاءً فِي ٱلشِّدَّةِ. لَا يَخْتَبِئُ مُعَلِّمُوكَ بَعْدُ، بَلْ تَكُونُ عَيْنَاكَ تَرَيَانِ مُعَلِّمِيكَ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.
وَأُذُنَاكَ تَسْمَعَانِ كَلِمَةً خَلْفَكَ قَائِلَةً: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ. ٱسْلُكُوا فِيهَا». حِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ وَحِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْيَسَارِ. | ٢١ 21 |
So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying, —This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn to the left.
وَتُنَجِّسُونَ صَفَائِحَ تَمَاثِيلِ فِضَّتِكُمُ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ، وَغِشَاءَ تِمْثَالِ ذَهَبِكُمُ ٱلْمَسْبُوكِ. تَطْرَحُهَا مِثْلَ فِرْصَةِ حَائِضٍ. تَقُولُ لَهَا: «ٱخْرُجِي». | ٢٢ 22 |
Then will ye defile—The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image, of gold, —Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,
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 will he give—Rain for thy seed—wherewith thou shalt sow thy ground and Bread as the increase of thy ground, which shall be fertile and fat, —Thy cattle, in that day, shall feed in broad pasture:
وَٱلْأَبْقَارُ وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَأْكُلُ عَلَفًا مُمَلَّحًا مُذَرَّى بِٱلْمِنْسَفِ وَٱلْمِذْرَاةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the oxen and the young asses that till the ground, salted provender, shall eat, which hath been winnowed with shovel or fan.
وَيَكُونُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ عَالٍ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ سَوَاقٍ وَمَجَارِي مِيَاهٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَقْتَلَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، حِينَمَا تَسْقُطُ ٱلْأَبْرَاجُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain and On every lifted hill, Channels, Conduits of water, —In the great day of 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 |
Then shall the light of the moon, 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—When Yahweh, bindeth up, the laceration of his people, and When the severe wound caused by smiting them, he healeth.
هُوَذَا ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. غَضَبُهُ مُشْتَعِلٌ وَٱلْحَرِيقُ عَظِيمٌ. شَفَتَاهُ مُمْتَلِئَتَانِ سَخَطًا، وَلِسَانُهُ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Lo! the Name of Yahweh, coming in from afar, His anger kindling, A heavy storm, —His lips, are full of indignation, And, his tongue, is like a fire that devoureth;
وَنَفْخَتُهُ كَنَهْرٍ غَامِرٍ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. لِغَرْبَلَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِغُرْبَالِ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَعَلَى فُكُوكِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ رَسَنٌ مُضِلٌّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And, his breath like an overflowing torrent, even unto the neck, doth reach, To sift nations with a sieve of calamity, —A bridle leading to ruin, being upon the jaws of the peoples.
تَكُونُ لَكُمْ أُغْنِيَّةٌ كَلَيْلَةِ تَقْدِيسِ عِيدٍ، وَفَرَحُ قَلْبٍ كَٱلسَّائِرِ بِٱلنَّايِ، لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِلَى صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival, —And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter Into the mountain of Yahweh Unto the Rock of Israel.
وَيُسَمِّعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَلَالَ صَوْتِهِ، وَيُرِي نُزُولَ ذِرَاعِهِ بِهَيَجَانِ غَضَبٍ وَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، نَوْءٍ وَسَيْلٍ وَحِجَارَةِ بَرَدٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then will Yahweh cause to be heard—the resounding of his voice And the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire, —A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!
لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْتَاعُ أَشُّورُ. بِٱلْقَضِيبِ يَضْرِبُ. | ٣١ 31 |
For at the voice of Yahweh, shall Assyria be crushed, —With his rod, will he smite.
وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مُرُورِ عَصَا ٱلْقَضَاءِ ٱلَّتِي يُنْزِلُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلدُّفُوفِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ. وَبِحُرُوبٍ ثَائِرَةٍ يُحَارِبُهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And it shall come to pass, —that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, —when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.
لِأَنَّ «تُفْتَةَ» مُرَتَّبَةٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْأَمْسِ، مُهَيَّأَةٌ هِيَ أَيْضًا لِلْمَلِكِ، عَمِيقَةٌ وَاسِعَةٌ، كُومَتُهَا نَارٌ وَحَطَبٌ بِكَثْرَةٍ. نَفْخَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَنَهْرِ كِبْرِيتٍ تُوقِدُهَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
For there hath been set in order, beforehand a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared He hath made it deep—made it large, —The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, the breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.
