إشَعْياء 24

١ 1 هَا إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُخْرِبُ أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا وَيُقْفِرُهَا وَيَقْلِبُ وَجْهَهَا وَيُشَتِّتُ سُكَّانَهَا.

Behold, the Lord is about to lay waste the world, and will make it desolate, and will lay bare the surface of it, and scatter them that dwell therein.

٢ 2 وَمَا يَقَعُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ يَقْعُ عَلَى الْكَاهِنِ أَيْضاً، وَالسَّيِّدُ كَالْعَبْدِ وَالسَّيِّدَةُ كَأَمَتِهَا وَالْبَائِعُ كَالْمُشْتَرِي، وَالْمُقْتَرِضُ كَالْمُقْرِضِ، وَالدَّائِنُ كَالْمَدِينِ.

And the people shall be as the priest, and the servant as the lord, and the maid as the mistress; the buyer shall be as the seller, the lender as the borrower, and the debtor as his creditor.

٣ 3 وَيَحُلُّ الْخَرَابُ بِالأَرْضِ وَتُنْهَبُ نَهْباً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا الْقَضَاءِ.

The earth shall be completely laid waste, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.

٤ 4 وَتَنُوحُ الأَرْضُ وَتَذْوِي، وَتَضْنَى الْمَسْكُونَةُ وَتَذْبُلُ، وَيَحْزَنُ مَعَهَا عُظَمَاؤُهَا.

The earth mourns, and the world is ruined, the lofty ones of the earth are mourning.

٥ 5 تَدَنَّسَتِ الأَرْضُ تَحْتَ سُكَّانِهَا، لأَنَّهُمْ تَعَدَّوْا عَلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَنَقَضُوا الْفَرَائِضَ وَنَكَثُوا الْعَهْدَ الأَبَديَّ،

And she has sinned by reason of her inhabitants; because they have transgressed the law, and changed the ordinances, [even] the everlasting covenant.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ الْتَهَمَتِ اللَّعْنَةُ الأَرْضَ، وَعُوقِبَ أَهْلُهَا بِإِثْمِهِمْ، فَاحْتَرَقَ سُكَّانُ الأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ سِوَى قِلَّةٍ.

Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, because the inhabitants thereof have sinned: therefore the dwellers in the earth shall be poor, and few men shall be left.

٧ 7 قَدِ انْتَحَبَتِ الْخَمْرَةُ، وَذَبُلَتِ الْكَرْمَةُ، وَأَنَّ جَمِيعُ ذَوِي الْقُلَوبِ الطَّرِبَةِ.

The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.

٨ 8 خَرَسَ طَرَبُ الدُّفُوفِ، كَفَّ ضَجِيجُ الْمُبْتَهِجِينَ، وَصَمَتَ مَرَحُ الْعُودِ.

The mirth of timbrels has ceased, the sound of the harp has ceased.

٩ 9 لَا يَعُودُونَ يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ مَعَ الْغِنَاءِ، وَيَكُونُ الْمُسْكِرُ مُرّاً لِشَارِبِيهِ.

They are ashamed, they have not drunk wine; strong drink has become bitter to them that drink [it].

١٠ 10 قَدْ تَدَمَّرَتْ مَدِينَةُ الْفَوْضَى، وَأُغْلِقَ كُلُّ بَيْتٍ، فَلا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى الدُّخُولِ.

All the city has become desolate: one shall shut his house so that none shall enter.

١١ 11 تَرْتَفِعُ صَرْخَةٌ فِي الأَزِقَّةِ طَلَباً لِلْخَمْرَةِ الْمَفْقُودَةِ. زَالَ كُلُّ فَرَحٍ، وَتَلاشَى السُّرُورُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ

There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.

١٢ 12 بَقِيَ الْخَرَابُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَحَطَّمَتِ الْبَوَّابَاتُ فَأَصْبَحَتْ رَدْماً.

And cities shall be left desolate, and houses being left shall fall to ruin.

١٣ 13 وَهَكَذَا يَحْدُثُ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَشَجَرَةِ زَيْتُونٍ نُفِضَتْ، أَوْ كَاللُّقَاطِ الْمُتَبَقِّي بَعْدَ قِطَافِ الْعِنَبِ.

All this shall be in the land in the midst of the nations, as if one should strip an olive tree, so shall they strip them; but when the vintage is done,

١٤ 14 هَؤُلاءِ الْبَاقُونَ يَرْفَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَيَهْتِفُونَ بِفَرَحٍ، وَيَشْدُونَ مِنَ الْغَرْبِ بِجَلالِ الرَّبِّ.

these shall cry aloud; and they that are left on the land shall rejoice together in the glory of the Lord: the water of the sea shall be troubled.

١٥ 15 لِذَلِكَ مَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ، مَجِّدُوا اسْمَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَزَائِرِ الْبَحْرِ.

Therefore shall the glory of the Lord be in the isles of the sea; the name of the Lord shall be glorious.

١٦ 16 مِنْ أَقَاصِي الْمَعْمُورَةِ سَمِعْنَا تَسَابِيحَ مَجْدٍ قَائِلَةً: «الْمَجْدُ لِلْبَارِّ». وَلَكِنِّي قُلْتُ: أَنَا هَالِكٌ! أَنَا هَالِكٌ وَيْلٌ لِي لأَنَّ الْخَونَةَ يُمَارِسُونَ الْخِيَانَةَ. الْخَوَنَةَ يُمَارِسُونَ الْخِيَانَةَ.

O Lord God of Israel, from the ends of the earth we have heard wonderful things, [and there is] hope to the godly: but they shall say, Woe to the despisers, that despise the law.

١٧ 17 فَالرُّعْبُ وَالْحُفْرَةُ وَالْفَخُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَاكِنِي الأَرْضِ.

Fear, and a pit, and a snare, are upon you that dwell on the earth.

١٨ 18 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَهْرُبُ مِنْ صَوْتِ الرُّعْبِ يَقَعُ فِي الْحُفْرَةِ، وَمَنْ يَتَسَلَّقُ الْحُفْرَةَ نَاجِياً يَعْلَقُ بِالْفَخِّ، لأَنَّ الْهَلاكَ يَهْبِطُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَتَزَلْزَلُ الأَرْضُ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ.

And it shall come to pass, [that] he that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the pit shall be caught by the snare: for windows have been opened in heaven, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken,

١٩ 19 فَالأَرْضُ مُتَصَدِّعَةٌ، وَالْمَسْكُونَةُ مُتَشَقِّقَةٌ وَمُتَزَلْزِلَةٌ.

the earth shall be utterly confounded, and the earth shall be completely perplexed.

٢٠ 20 تَرَنَّحَتِ الأَرْضُ كَالسُّكَارَى، وَتَمَايَلَتْ كَخَيْمَةِ النَّاطُورِ وَنَاءَتْ تَحْتَ ثِقَلِ إِثْمِهَا فَتَهَاوَتْ وَلَمْ تَنْهَضْ.

It reels as a drunkard and one oppressed with wine, and the earth shall be shaken as a storehouse of fruits; for iniquity has prevailed upon it, and it shall fall, and shall not be able to rise.

٢١ 21 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُعَاقِبُ الرَّبُّ الْمَلائِكَةَ السَّاقِطِينَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَالْمُلُوكَ الْمُتَغَطْرِسِينَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ،

And God shall bring [his] hand upon the host of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.

٢٢ 22 فَيُجْمَعُونَ مَعاً كَمَا يُجْمَعُ الأَسَارَى فِى الْجُبِّ، وَيُزَجُّونَ فِي سِجْنٍ مُغْلَقٍ، وَيَتِمُّ عِقَابُهُمْ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ عَدِيدَةٍ.

And they shall gather the multitude thereof into prisons, and they shall shut them into a strong hold: after many generations they shall be visited.

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ يَخْجَلُ الْقَمَرُ وَتُخْزَى الشَّمْسُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَمْلِكُ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيَتَمَجَّدُ أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ.

And the brick shall decay, and the wall shall fall; for the Lord shall reign from out of Sion, and out of Jerusalem, and shall be glorified before [his] elders.
