< إشَعْياء 10 >

وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَسُنُّونَ شَرَائِعَ ظُلْمٍ، وَلِلْكَتَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يُسَجِّلُونَ أَحْكَامَ جَوْرٍ! ١ 1
Woe unto those that decree decrees of unrighteousness, and the writers who write down wrongful things;
لِيَصُدُّوا الْبَائِسِينَ عَنِ الْعَدْلِ، وَيَسْلُبُوا مَسَاكِينَ شَعْبِي حَقَّهُمْ، لِتَكُونَ الأَرَامِلُ مَغْنَماً لَهُمْ، وَيَنْهَبُوا الْيَتَامَى. ٢ 2
To turn aside from judgment the needy, and to rob the just due of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may plunder the fatherless!
فَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي يَوْمِ الْعِقَابِ عِنْدَمَا تُقْبِلُ الْكَارِثَةُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ؟ إِلَى مَنْ تَلْجَأُونَ طَلَباً لِلْعَوْنِ، وَأَيْنَ تُوْدِعُونَ ثَرْوَتَكُمْ؟ ٣ 3
And what will ye do on the day of the visitation, and at the desolation which will come from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
لَا يَبْقَى شَيْءٌ سِوَى أَنْ تَجْثُوا بَيْنَ الأَسْرَى، وَتَسْقُطُوا بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ لَمْ يَرْتَدْ غَضَبُهُ وَمَا بَرِحَتْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ. ٤ 4
Without me they shall kneel down under the prisoners, and under the slain shall they fall. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.
وَيْلٌ لِلأَشُّورِيِّينَ، قَضِيبِ غَضَبِي، الْحَامِلِينَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ عَصَا سَخَطِي. ٥ 5
Woe over Asshur, the rod of my anger; and a staff is in their hand my indignation.
أُرْسِلُهُمْ ضِدَّ أُمَّةٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ، وَأُوْصِيهُمْ عَلَى شَعْبِي الَّذي غَضِبْتُ عَلَيْهِ، لِيَغْنَمُوا غَنَائِمَهُمْ وَيَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى أَسْلابِهِمْ، وَيَطَأُوهُمْ كَمَا يَطَأُونَ الوَحْلَ. ٦ 6
Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.
وَلَكِنَّ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ، وَيَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ قَدْ هَاجَمَ شَعْبِي، وَفِي نِيَّتِهِ أَنْ يُدَمِّرَ وَيَجْتَاحَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً. ٧ 7
But he deemeth it not so, and his heart doth not think so; but to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few.
لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: أَلَيْسَ كُلُّ قُوَّادِي مُلُوكاً؟ ٨ 8
For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
أَلَيْسَ مَصِيرُ كَلْنُو كَمَصِيرِ كَرْكَمِيشَ؟ أَوَ لَيْسَ مَآلُ حَمَاةَ كَمَآلِ أَرْفَادَ؟ أَلَيْسَتِ السَّامِرَةُ كَدِمَشْقَ؟ ٩ 9
Is not Calno like Karkemish? is not Chamath like Arpad? is not Samaria like Damascus?
لَقَدْ قَضَيْتُ عَلَى مَمَالِكَ وَثَنِيَّةٍ أَصْنَامُهَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَصْنَامِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَالسَّامِرَةِ! ١٠ 10
As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images exceeded in number those of Jerusalem and of Samaria:
أَفَلا أَقْضِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَصْنَامِهَا كَمَا قَضَيْتُ عَلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَأَصْنَامِهَا؟ ١١ 11
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, do so unto Jerusalem and unto her idols?”
وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا يَنْتَهِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ بِجَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ عَلَى غُرُورِ قَلْبِهِ وَتَشَامُخِ عَيْنَيْهِ، ١٢ 12
Wherefore shall it come to pass, that when the Lord hath completed all his work on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the haughtiness of the king of Asshur, and the vain-glory of his proud looks.
لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: بِقُوَّةِ ذِرَاعِي قَدْ صَنَعْتُ هَذَا، وَبِحِكْمَتِي، لأَنَّنِي فَهِيمٌ! قَدْ نَقَلْتُ تُخُومَ الأُمَمِ، وَنَهَبْتُ كُنُوزَهُمْ، وَعَزَلْتُ الْجَالِسِينَ عَلَى الْعُرُوشِ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ ذُو الْبَطْشِ. ١٣ 13
For he hath said, “By the strength of my hand have I done it, and by my wisdom, for I have intelligence; and I have removed the boundaries of nations, and their laid-up treasures have I plundered, and brought down low those that were powerfully seated.
وَكَمَا تَسْتَحْوِذُ يَدُ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى الْعُشِّ، هَكَذَا اسْتَحْوَذَتْ يَدِي عَلَى ثَرْوَاتِ الشُّعُوبِ. وَكَمَا يَجْمَعُ الإِنْسَانُ الْبَيْضَ الْمَهْجُورَ، هَكَذَا جَمَعْتُ الأَرْضَ بِأَسْرِهَا، فَلَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحَرِّكَ جَنَاحاً أَوْ يَفْتَحَ فَاهاً أَوْ يَنْبِسَ بِهَمْسَةٍ. ١٤ 14
And my hand hath reached, as a bird's nest, the wealth of the people: and as one gathereth up eggs that are forsaken, have I myself gathered up all the earth: and there was not one that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.”
أَتَزْهُو الْفَأْسُ عَلَى مَنْ يَقْطَعُ بِها، أَمْ يَتَعَظَّمُ الْمِنْشَارُ عَلَى مَنْ يَنْشُرُ بِهِ، وَكَأَنَّ الْقَضِيبَ يُحَرِّكُ رَافِعَهُ، أَوْ كَأَنَّ الْعَصَا تَرْفَعُ مَا لَيْسَ خَشَباً! ١٥ 15
Shall the axe boast itself over him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that swingeth it? as if the rod should swing about those that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up him who is no wood.
لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ سَيُفْشِي وَبَأً مُهْلِكاً بَيْنَ مُحَارِبِيهِ الشُّجْعَانِ، وَيُوْقِدُ تَحْتَ مَجْدِهِ وَقِيداً كَاشْتِعَالِ النَّارِ، ١٦ 16
Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire.
فَيُصْبِحُ نُورُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَاراً، وَقُدُّوسُهُ لَهِيباً، فَتَشْتَعِلُ وَتَلْتَهِمُ شَوْكَهُ وَحَسَكَهُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، ١٧ 17
And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day.
فَيُدَمِّرُ الرَّبُّ مَجْدَ غَابَاتِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ الْخَصِيبَةِ، الرُّوحَ وَالْجَسَدَ مَعاً، فَتَكُونُ كَمَرِيضٍ تَذْوِي حَيَاتُهُ، ١٨ 18
And the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body, will he destroy: and he shall be as [a tree] eaten to powder by the worms.
وَلا يَتَبَقَّى مِنْ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ إِلّا قِلَّةٌ يُحْصِيهَا صَبِيٌّ. ١٩ 19
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few in number, so that a boy may write them down.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَا تَعُودُ بَقِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالنَّاجُونَ مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى مَنْ ضَرَبَهُمْ، بَلْ يَعْتَمِدُونَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْحَقِّ. ٢٠ 20
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall not farther lean for support upon him that smiteth them; but they shall lean upon the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, in truth.
وَتَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ. ٢١ 21
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
مَعَ أَنَّ شَعْبَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ، فَإِنَّ بَقِيَّةً فَقَطْ تَرْجِعُ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَضَى بِفَنَائِهِمْ، وَقَضَاؤُهُ عَادِلٌ. ٢٢ 22
For though thy people Israel should be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant [only] of them shall return: destruction is decreed, it overfloweth with righteousness.
فَالرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ يُجْرِي الْفَنَاءَ وَالْقَضَاءَ فِي وَسَطِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ. ٢٣ 23
For it is completed and decreed: the Lord, the Eternal of hosts will do it in the midst of all the land.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ القَدِيرُ: «يَا شَعْبِي الْمُقِيمَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ أَشُورَ عِنْدَمَا يَضْرِبُكَ بِقَضِيبٍ، وَيَرْفَعُ عَلَيْكَ عَصَاهُ كَمَا فَعَلَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ، ٢٤ 24
Therefore thus hath said the Lord the Eternal of hosts, Be not afraid, O my people that dwellest in Zion, of Asshur, who will smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
فَإِنَّهُ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ يَكْتَمِلُ سَخَطِي، وَيَنْصَبُّ غَضَبِي لإِبَادَتِهِمْ». ٢٥ 25
For yet but a very little while more, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger shall be for their destruction.
وَلا يَلْبَثُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ أَنْ يَهُزَّ عَلَيْهِ سَوْطاً كَمَا ضَرَبَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ عِنْدَ صَخْرَةِ غُرَابٍ، وَيَرْفَعُ قَضِيبَهُ فَوْقَ الْبَحْرِ مِثْلَمَا فَعَلَ فِي مِصْرَ. ٢٦ 26
And the Lord shall lift up a scourge over him like [at] the smiting of Midian at the rock of 'Oreb: and as his staff was lifted over the sea, so will he carry him off after the manner of Egypt.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَتَدَحْرَجُ حِمْلُهُ عَنْ كَتِفِكَ، وَيَتَحَطَّمُ نِيرُهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ لأَنَّ عُنُقَكَ أَصْبَحَ غَلِيظاً. ٢٧ 27
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be removed from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be broken because of the fatness.
هَا هُوَ جَيْشُ أَشُورَ مُقْبِلٌ؛ قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَى عَيَّاثَ، وَاجْتَازَ بِمِجْرُونَ. وَضَعَ مَؤُونَتَهُ فِي مِخْمَاشَ. ٢٨ 28
He cometh to 'Ayath, he passeth on to Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
قَطَعُوا الْمَعْبَرَ، وَبَاتُوا فِي جَبَعَ. ارْتَعَدَ أَهْلُ الرَّامَةِ، وَهَرَبَ سُكَّانُ جِبْعَةَ شَاوُلَ. ٢٩ 29
They go through the pass; they take up their lodging at Geba'; Ramah trembleth; Gib'ah of Saul fleeth.
اصْرُخِي يَا بِنْتَ جَلِّيمَ، وَاسْمَعِي يَا لَيْشَةُ، وَأَجِيبِي يَا مَدِينَةَ عَنَاثُوثَ. ٣٠ 30
Let thy voice resound, O daughter of Gallim; listen Layshah; O poor 'Anathoth!
هَرَبَ أَهْلُ مَدْمِنَةَ. فَرَّ سُكَّانُ جِيبِيمَ طَلَباً لِلنَّجَاةِ. ٣١ 31
Madmenah is in motion; the inhabitants of Gebim are assembled to flee.
الْيَوْمَ يَتَوَقَّفُ فِي نُوبَ وَيَهُزُّ قَبْضَتَهُ عَلَى جَبَلِ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، أَكَمَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٣٢ 32
As yet today will he remain at Nob: then will he swing his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يُحَطِّمُ الأَغْصَانَ بِعُنْفُوَانٍ. فَكُلُّ مُتَطَاولٍ يُقْطَعُ، وَكُلُّ مٍتَشامِخٍ يُذَلُّ. ٣٣ 33
Behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, will lop off the fruitful bough with terrific might: and those of towering growth shall be hewn down, and the high shall be laid low.
تُسْتَأْصَلُ أَجَمَاتُ الْغابَةِ بِفَأْسٍ، وَيَسْقُطُ لُبْنَانُ أَمَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَهُوبٍ. ٣٤ 34
And he will cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and the Lebanon shall fall by [means of] a mighty one.
