< إشَعْياء 13 >
رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ بِشَأْنِ بَابِلَ: | ١ 1 |
The doom of Babylon, which Isaiah Amoz' son foresaw.
انْصُبُوا رَايَةً فَوْقَ جَبَلٍ أَجْرَدَ. اصْرُخُوا فِيهِمْ. لَوِّحُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ الْعُظَمَاءِ. | ٢ 2 |
Upon a high mountain lift ye up a banner, raise high your voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may enter into the gates of the princes.
إِنِّي أَمَرْتُ مُقَدَّسِيَّ وَاسْتَدْعَيْتُ جَبَابِرَتِي الْمُفْتَخِرِينَ بِعَظَمَتِي لِيُنَفِّذُوا عِقَابَ غَضَبِي. | ٣ 3 |
I have charged my prepared ones, I have also called my heroes for my anger, those that rejoice in my highness.
هَا جَلَبَةٌ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ مِثْلُ صَوْتِ أَقْوَامٍ غَفِيرَةٍ. صَوْتُ صَخَبِ مَمَالِكِ أُمَمٍ مُجْتَمِعَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَسْتَعْرِضُ جُنُودَ الْقِتَالِ. | ٤ 4 |
There is a noise of tumult on the mountains, like that of a numerous people; a noise of shouting of kingdoms of nations assembled; the Lord of hosts mustereth a host of battle.
يُقْبِلُونَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ نَائِيَةٍ، مِنْ أَقْصَى السَّمَاوَاتِ. هُمْ جُنُودُ الرَّبِّ وَأَسْلِحَةُ سَخَطِهِ لِتَدْمِيرِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. | ٥ 5 |
They are coming from a far-off country, from the end of the heavens, [here is] the Lord, with the weapons of his indignation, to destroy all the land.
وَلْوِلُوا، فَإِنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً قَادِماً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ مُحَمَّلاً بِالدَّمَارِ. | ٦ 6 |
Wail ye; for nigh is the day of the Lord; like wasting from the Almighty shall it come.
لِذَلِكَ تَرْتَخِي كُلُّ يَدٍ، وَيَذُوبُ قَلْبُ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Therefore all hands shall become weak, and every mortal's heart shall melt;
يَنْتَابُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ، وَتَأْخُذُهُمْ أَوْجَاعٌ وَمَخَاضٌ، يَتَلَوَّوْنَ كَوَالِدَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنْ آلامِ الْمَخَاضِ. وَيُحَمْلِقُ بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ مَبْهُوتِينَ بِوُجُوهٍ مُلْتَهِبَةٍ. | ٨ 8 |
And they shall be affrighted, pangs and pains shall seize on them; they shall have throes as a woman that travaileth; one at the other shall they look amazed; red like flames shall their faces glow.
هَا هُوَ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ آتٍ مُفْعَماً بِالْقَسْوَةِ وَالسَّخَطِ وَالْغَضَبِ الْعَنِيفِ، لِيَجْعَلَ الأَرْضَ خَرَاباً وَيُبِيدَ مِنْهَا الْخُطَاةَ. | ٩ 9 |
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, direful, [laden] with wrath and the fierceness of anger, to render the earth desolate: and its sinners will he destroy out of it.
فَإِنَّ نُجُومَ السَّمَاءِ وَكَوَاكِبَهَا لَا تُشْرِقُ بِنُورِهَا، وَالشَّمْسَ تُظْلِمُ عِنْدَ بُزُوغِهَا، وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يُشِعُّ بِضَوْئِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not give forth their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not shed abroad her light.
وَأُعَاقِبُ الْعَالَمَ عَلَى شَرِّهِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى آثَامِهِمْ، وَأَضَعُ حَدّاً لِصَلَفِ الْمُتَغَطْرِسِينَ وَأُذِلُّ كِبْرِيَاءَ الْعُتَاةِ، | ١١ 11 |
And I will visit on the world its evil, and on the wicked their iniquity; and I will stop the arrogance of the presumptuous, and the haughtiness of the tyrants will I humble.
فَيُصْبِحُ الرِّجَالُ لِقِلَّةِ عَدَدِهِمْ أَنْدَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ وَأَعَزَّ مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ. | ١٢ 12 |
I will make the mortal more precious than fine gold; and man, more than the valued metal of Ophir.
وَأُزَلْزِلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَتَتَزَعْزَعُ الأَرْضُ فِي مَوْضِعِهَا مِنْ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ فِي يَوْمِ احْتِدَامِ سَخَطِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore will I shake the heavens, and the earth shall start quaking out of her place, at the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and on the day of his fierce anger.
وَتُوَلِّي جُيُوشُ بَابِلَ الأَدْبَارَ حَتَّى يَنْهَكَهَا التَّعَبُ، عَائِدِينَ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ غَزَالٌ مُطَارَدٌ أَوْ غَنَمٌ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And the people shall be as the chased roe, and as flocks which no one gathereth up; every man to his own people shall they turn, and every man into his own land shall they flee.
كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْسَرْ يُطْعَنْ، وَمَنْ يُقْبَضْ عَلَيْهِ يُصْرَعْ بِالسَّيْفِ، | ١٥ 15 |
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
وَيُمَزَّقْ أَطْفَالُهُمْ عَلَى مَرْأىً مِنْهُمْ، وَتُنْهَبْ بُيُوتُهُمْ، وَتُغْتَصَبْ نِسَاؤُهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
And their babes shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes: spoiled shall be their houses, and their wives ravished.
هَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْمَادِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَرِثُونَ لِلْفِضَّةِ وَلا يُسَرُّونَ بِالذَّهَبِ، | ١٧ 17 |
Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes; who will not regard silver, and who will not delight in gold.
تُمَزِّقُ قِسِيُّهُمُ الْفِتْيَانَ وَلا يَرْحَمُونَ الأَوْلادَ أَوِ الرُّضَّعَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And their bows will dash young men to pieces; and on the fruit of the womb will they have no mercy; on children their eye will not look with pity.
أَمَّا بَابِلُ، مَجْدُ الْمَمَالِكِ وَبَهَاءُ وَفَخْرُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، فَتُصْبِحُ كَسَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ اللَّتَيْنِ قَلَبَهُمَا اللهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
And [thus] shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the proud ornament of the Chaldeans, become like the overthrow through God of Sodom and Gomorrah.
لَا يُسْكَنُ فِيهَا، وَلا تُعْمَرُ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ، لَا يَنْصِبُ فِيهَا بَدَوِيٌّ خَيْمَتَهُ، وَلا يُرْبِضُ فِيهَا رَاعٍ قُطْعَانَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
It shall not be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be dwelt in from generation to generation; nor shall the Arabian pitch there his tent; and shepherds shall not let their flocks rest there.
إِنَّمَا تَأْوِي إِلَيْهَا وُحُوشُ الْقَفْرِ وَتَعِجُّ بُيُوتُ خَرَائِبِهَا بِالْبُومِ، وَتَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهَا بَنَاتُ النَّعَامِ، وَتَتَوَاثَبُ فِيهَا الْمَاعِزُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ، | ٢١ 21 |
But there shall rest the wild beasts of the desert; and their houses shall be full of owls; and ostriches shall dwell there, and evil spirits shall dance there.
وَتَتَعَاوَى الضِّبَاعُ بَيْنَ أَبْرَاجِهَا، وَبَنَاتُ آوَى بَيْنَ قُصُورِهَا الْفَخْمَةِ. إِنَّ وَقْتَ عِقَابِهَا بَاتَ وَشِيكاً، وَأَيَّامَهَا لَنْ تَطُولَ! | ٢٢ 22 |
And jackals shall howl in her palaces, and monsters in the temples of pleasure; and near to come is her time, and her days shall not be extended.
