إشَعْياء 24

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

Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.

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

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.

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

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.

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

The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.

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

And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.

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

Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.

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

The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;

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

the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

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

They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.

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

The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.

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

There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;

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

desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, — a ruin.

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

For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.

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

These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

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

Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.

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.

From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

١٧ 17 فَالرُّعْبُ وَالْحُفْرَةُ وَالْفَخُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَاكِنِي الأَرْضِ.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.

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 who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.

١٩ 19 فَالأَرْضُ مُتَصَدِّعَةٌ، وَالْمَسْكُونَةُ مُتَشَقِّقَةٌ وَمُتَزَلْزِلَةٌ.

The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.

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

The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.

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

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

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

And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

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

And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
