إِشَعْيَاءَ 9
| وَلَكِنْ لَا يَكُونُ ظَلَامٌ لِلَّتِي عَلَيْهَا ضِيقٌ. كَمَا أَهَانَ ٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَرْضَ زَبُولُونَ وَأَرْضَ نَفْتَالِي، يُكْرِمُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ طَرِيقَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عَبْرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، جَلِيلَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١ 1 |
Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those in distress. In the past He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future He will honor the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
| اَلشَّعْبُ ٱلسَّالِكُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ أَبْصَرَ نُورًا عَظِيمًا. ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ نُورٌ. | ٢ 2 |
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
| أَكْثَرْتَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ. عَظَّمْتَ لَهَا ٱلْفَرَحَ. يَفْرَحُونَ أَمَامَكَ كَٱلْفَرَحِ فِي ٱلْحَصَادِ. كَٱلَّذِينَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ عِنْدَمَا يَقْتَسِمُونَ غَنِيمَةً. | ٣ 3 |
You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.
| لِأَنَّ نِيرَ ثِقْلِهِ، وَعَصَا كَتِفِهِ، وَقَضِيبَ مُسَخِّرِهِ كَسَّرْتَهُنَّ كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ مِدْيَانَ. | ٤ 4 |
For as in the day of Midian You have shattered the yoke of their burden, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressor.
| لِأَنَّ كُلَّ سِلَاحِ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّحِ فِي ٱلْوَغَى وَكُلَّ رِدَاءٍ مُدَحْرَجٍ فِي ٱلدِّمَاءِ، يَكُونُ لِلْحَرِيقِ، مَأْكَلًا لِلنَّارِ. | ٥ 5 |
For every trampling boot of battle and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.
| لِأَنَّهُ يُولَدُ لَنَا وَلَدٌ وَنُعْطَى ٱبْنًا، وَتَكُونُ ٱلرِّيَاسَةُ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، وَيُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ عَجِيبًا، مُشِيرًا، إِلَهًا قَدِيرًا، أَبًا أَبَدِيًّا، رَئِيسَ ٱلسَّلَامِ. | ٦ 6 |
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
| لِنُمُوِّ رِيَاسَتِهِ، وَلِلسَّلَامِ لَا نِهَايَةَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ، لِيُثَبِّتَهَا وَيَعْضُدَهَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْبِرِّ، مِنَ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. غَيْرَةُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. | ٧ 7 |
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
| أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَوْلًا فِي يَعْقُوبَ فَوَقَعَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٨ 8 |
The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
| فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ، أَفْرَايِمُ وَسُكَّانُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ بِكِبْرِيَاءَ وَبِعَظَمَةِ قَلْبٍ: | ٩ 9 |
All the people will know it— Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and arrogance of heart they will say:
| «قَدْ هَبَطَ ٱللِّبْنُ فَنَبْنِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قُطِعَ ٱلْجُمَّيْزُ فَنَسْتَخْلِفُهُ بِأَرْزٍ». | ١٠ 10 |
“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with finished stone; the sycamores have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
| فَيَرْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَخْصَامَ رَصِينَ عَلَيْهِ وَيُهَيِّجُ أَعْدَاءَهُ: | ١١ 11 |
The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.
| ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ مِنْ قُدَّامُ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ وَرَاءُ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ ٱلْفَمِ. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ! | ١٢ 12 |
Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
| وَٱلشَّعْبُ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَى ضَارِبِهِ وَلَمْ يَطْلُبْ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١٣ 13 |
But the people did not return to Him who struck them; they did not seek the LORD of Hosts.
| فَيَقْطَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّأْسَ وَٱلذَّنَبَ، ٱلنَّخْلَ وَٱلْأَسَلَ، فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
So the LORD will cut off Israel’s head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day.
| اَلشَّيْخُ وَٱلْمُعْتَبَرُ هُوَ ٱلرَّأْسُ، وَٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ هُوَ ٱلذَّنَبُ. | ١٥ 15 |
The head is the elder and honorable man, and the tail is the prophet who teaches lies.
| وَصَارَ مُرْشِدُو هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مُضِلِّينَ، وَمُرْشَدُوهُ مُبْتَلَعِينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا يَفْرَحُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ بِفِتْيَانِهِ، وَلَا يَرْحَمُ يَتَامَاهُ وَأَرَامِلَهُ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مُنَافِقٌ وَفَاعِلُ شَرٍّ. وَكُلُّ فَمٍ مُتَكَلِّمٌ بِٱلْحَمَاقَةِ. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ! | ١٧ 17 |
Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْفُجُورَ يُحْرِقُ كَٱلنَّارِ، تَأْكُلُ ٱلشَّوْكَ وَٱلْحَسَكَ، وَتُشْعِلُ غَابَ ٱلْوَعْرِ فَتَلْتَفُّ عَمُودَ دُخَانٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
For wickedness burns like a fire that consumes the thorns and briers and kindles the forest thickets which roll upward in billows of smoke.
| بِسَخَطِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تُحْرَقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَيَكُونُ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَمَأْكَلٍ لِلنَّارِ. لَا يُشْفِقُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
By the wrath of the LORD of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people are fuel for the fire. No man even spares his brother.
| يَلْتَهِمُ عَلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ فَيَجُوعُ، وَيَأْكُلُ عَلَى ٱلشَّمَالِ فَلَا يَشْبَعُ. يَأْكُلُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لَحْمَ ذِرَاعِهِ: | ٢٠ 20 |
They carve out what is on the right, but they are still hungry; they eat what is on the left, but they are still not satisfied. Each one devours the flesh of his own offspring.
| مَنَسَّى أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَفْرَايِمُ مَنَسَّى، وَهُمَا مَعًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ! | ٢١ 21 |
Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
