إشَعْياء 2

١ 1 الإِعْلانُ الَّذِي رَآهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ بِشَأْنِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:

The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.

٢ 2 وَيَحْدُثُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ، أَنَّ جَبَلَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُ أَسْمَى مِنْ كُلِّ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَعْلُو فَوْقَ كُلِّ التِّلالِ، فَتَتَوَافَدُ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ.

For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.

٣ 3 وَتُقْبِلُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَتَقُولُ: تَعَالَوْا لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ، لأَنَّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعْلَنُ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ.

And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

٤ 4 فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ الْكَثِيرَةِ، فَيَصْنَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ مَحَارِيثَ وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ، وَلا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفاً، وَلا يَتَدَرَّبُونَ عَلَى الْحَرْبِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.

٥ 5 يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَيَّا لِنَسْلُكْ فِي نُورِ الرَّبِّ.

And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.

٦ 6 فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ نَبَذْتَ شَعْبَكَ، بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، فَكَثُرَ بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَرَّافُونَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ، كَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَتَعَاهَدُوا مَعَ الْغُرَبَاءِ.

For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.

٧ 7 امْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً، وَكُنُوزُهُمْ لَا نِهَايَةَ لَهَا، وَامْتَلأَتْ بِلادُهُمْ بِالْخَيْلِ، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُمْ لَا تُحْصَى.

For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.

٨ 8 امْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالأَصْنَامِ، وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَسَجَدُوا لِعَمَلِ أَصَابِعِهِمْ.

And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ يَنْحَطُّ الإِنْسَانُ، وَيَذِلُّ الْبَشَرُ، وَلا تَصْفَحُ عَنْهُمْ.

And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.

١٠ 10 اخْتَفِ فِي مَغَاوِرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَاخْتَبِئْ فِي حُفَرِ الأَرْضِ خَشْيَةً مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ جَلالِ مَجْدِهِ.

Now therefore enter ye into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.

١١ 11 فَعُيُونُ الْبَشَرِ الْمُتَشَامِخَةُ تُخْفَضُ، وَكِبْرِيَاؤُهُمْ تَذِلُّ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

١٢ 12 فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ يَوْماً فِيهِ يُوْضَعُ كُلُّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَمُتَكَبِّرٍ وَمُتَغَطْرِسٍ.

For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;

١٣ 13 وَيَسْمُو عَلَى أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ الْمُتَعَالِي الشَّامِخِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،

and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,

١٤ 14 وَعَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ أَشَمَّ، وَعَلَى التِّلالِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،

and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,

١٥ 15 وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَالٍ، وَسُورٍ حَصِينٍ،

and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,

١٦ 16 وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ،

and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.

١٧ 17 فَيَعْتَرِي الْهَوَانُ غَطْرَسَةَ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُذَلُّ تَشَامُخُ الْبَشَرِ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ،

And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

١٨ 18 وَتُبَادُ الأَصْنَامُ كُلُّهَا،

And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,

١٩ 19 وَيَلْجَأُ النَّاسُ إِلَى مَغَاوِرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَإِلَى حَفَائِرِ الأَرْضِ، مُتَوَارِينَ مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ جَلالِهِ، عِنْدَمَا يَهُبُّ لِيُزَلْزِلَ الأَرْضَ.

having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.

٢٠ 20 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ النَّاسُ لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَالْخَفَافِيشِ أَوْثَانَهُمُ الْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَصْنَامَهُمُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ الَّتِي صَنَعُوهَا لِيَعْبُدُوهَا،

For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;

٢١ 21 وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي كُهُوفِ الصَّخْرِ، وَفِي شُقُوقِ الْجُرُوفِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ هَرَباً مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ جَلالِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَهُبُّ لِيُزَلْزِلَ الأَرْضَ.

to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.

٢٢ 22 كُفُّوا عَنِ الاتِّكَالِ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ الْمُعَرَّضِ لِلْمَوْتِ؛ فَأَيُّ قِيمَةٍ لَهُ؟
