< إِشَعْيَاءَ 8 >
وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لَوْحًا كَبِيرًا، وَٱكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ بِقَلَمِ إِنْسَانٍ: لِمَهَيْرَ شَلَالَ حَاشَ بَزَ. | ١ 1 |
And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.
وَأَنْ أُشْهِدَ لِنَفْسِي شَاهِدَيْنِ أَمِينَيْنِ: أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنَ، وَزَكَرِيَّا بْنَ يَبْرَخْيَا». | ٢ 2 |
And I took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
فَٱقْتَرَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلنَّبِيَّةِ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا. فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ مَهَيْرَ شَلَالَ حَاشَ بَزَ. | ٣ 3 |
And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey.
لِأَنَّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ: يَا أَبِي وَيَا أُمِّي، تُحْمَلُ ثَرْوَةُ دِمَشْقَ وَغَنِيمَةُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ قُدَّامَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ». | ٤ 4 |
For before the child know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians.
ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا قَائِلًا: | ٥ 5 |
And the Lord spoke to me again, saying:
«لِأَنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ رَذَلَ مِيَاهَ شِيلُوهَ ٱلْجَارِيَةَ بِسُكُوتٍ، وَسُرَّ بِرَصِينَ وَٱبْنِ رَمَلْيَا. | ٦ 6 |
Forasmuch as this people hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia:
لِذَلِكَ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ يُصْعِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِيَاهَ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةَ وَٱلْكَثِيرَةَ، مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ وَكُلَّ مَجْدِهِ، فَيَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ مَجَارِيهِ وَيَجْرِي فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ شُطُوطِهِ، | ٧ 7 |
Therefore behold the Lord will bring upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow all his banks,
وَيَنْدَفِقُ إِلَى يَهُوذَا. يَفِيضُ وَيَعْبُرُ. يَبْلُغُ ٱلْعُنُقَ. وَيَكُونُ بَسْطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ مِلْءَ عَرْضِ بِلَادِكَ يَا عِمَّانُوئِيلُ». | ٨ 8 |
And shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
هِيجُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ وَٱنْكَسِرُوا، وَأَصْغِي يَاجَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱحْتَزِمُوا وَٱنْكَسِرُوا! ٱحْتَزِمُوا وَٱنْكَسِرُوا! | ٩ 9 |
Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome.
تَشَاوَرُوا مَشُورَةً فَتَبْطُلَ. تَكَلَّمُوا كَلِمَةً فَلَا تَقُومُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَعَنَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.
فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ بِشِدَّةِ ٱلْيَدِ، وَأَنْذَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أَسْلُكَ فِي طَرِيقِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: | ١١ 11 |
For thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
«لَا تَقُولُوا: فِتْنَةً لِكُلِّ مَا يَقُولُ لَهُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ فِتْنَةً، وَلَا تَخَافُوا خَوْفَهُ وَلَا تَرْهَبُوا. | ١٢ 12 |
Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
قَدِّسُوا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فَهُوَ خَوْفُكُمْ وَهُوَ رَهْبَتُكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
وَيَكُونُ مَقْدِسًا وَحَجَرَ صَدْمَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ عَثْرَةٍ لِبَيْتَيْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفَخًّا وَشَرَكًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
فَيَعْثُرُ بِهَا كَثِيرُونَ وَيَسْقُطُونَ، فَيَنْكَسِرُونَ وَيَعْلَقُونَ فَيُلْقَطُونَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken.
صُرَّ ٱلشِّهَادَةَ. ٱخْتِمِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ بِتَلَامِيذِي. | ١٦ 16 |
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
فَأَصْطَبِرُ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلسَّاتِرِ وَجْهَهُ عَنْ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَنْتَظِرُهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
هَأَنَذَا وَٱلْأَوْلَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَعْطَانِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Behold I and my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion.
وَإِذَا قَالُوا لَكُمُ: «ٱطْلُبُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِ ٱلتَّوَابِعِ وَٱلْعَرَّافِينَ ٱلْمُشَقْشِقِينَ وَٱلْهَامِسِينَ». «أَلَا يَسْأَلُ شَعْبٌ إِلَهَهُ؟ أَيُسْأَلُ ٱلْمَوْتَى لِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ؟» | ١٩ 19 |
And when they shall say to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of the dead?
إِلَى ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَإِلَى ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. إِنْ لَمْ يَقُولُوا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ فَجْرٌ! | ٢٠ 20 |
To the law rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
فَيَعْبُرُونَ فِيهَا مُضَايَقِينَ وَجَائِعِينَ. وَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا يَجُوعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْنَقُونَ وَيَسُبُّونَ مَلِكَهُمْ وَإِلَهَهُمْ وَيَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى فَوْقُ. | ٢١ 21 |
And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.
وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا شِدَّةٌ وَظُلْمَةٌ، قَتَامُ ٱلضِّيقِ، وَإِلَى ٱلظَّلَامِ هُمْ مَطْرُودُونَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress.
