إشَعْياء 24

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

Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.

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

It will 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 creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.

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

The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.

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

The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.

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

The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.

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

Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

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

The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.

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

The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.

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

They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.

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

The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

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

There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.

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

The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

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

For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the 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 will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.

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

Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!

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 uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

١٧ 17 فَالرُّعْبُ وَالْحُفْرَةُ وَالْفَخُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَاكِنِي الأَرْضِ.

Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit 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.

It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

١٩ 19 فَالأَرْضُ مُتَصَدِّعَةٌ، وَالْمَسْكُونَةُ مُتَشَقِّقَةٌ وَمُتَزَلْزِلَةٌ.

The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.

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

The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.

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

It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

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

They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.

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

Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
