إشَعْياء 25

١ 1 يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، أُعَظِّمُكَ وَأَحْمَدُ اسْمَكَ لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ عَجَائِبَ كُنْتُ قَد قَضَيْتَ بِها مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَهِيَ حَقٌّ وَصِدْقٌ.

Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in perfect faithfulness.

٢ 2 حَوَّلْتَ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَى كَوْمَةِ رِكَامٍ، وَالْقَرْيَةَ الْحَصِينَةَ إِلَى أَطْلالٍ، وَلَنْ يَكُونَ قَصْرُ الْغُرَبَاءِ مَدِينَةً بَعْدُ، وَلَنْ يُبْنَى أَبَداً.

For you have made the city a heap, a fortified city, a ruin, and a fortress of strangers into no city.

٣ 3 لِذَلِكَ يُمَجِّدُكَ شَعْبٌ قَوِيٌّ وَتَخْشَاكَ مُدُنٌ آهِلَةٌ بِأُمَمٍ فَظَّةٍ

Therefore a strong people will glorify you; a city of ruthless nations will fear you.

٤ 4 لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ حِصْناً لِلْبَائِسِ، وَمَلاذاً مَنِيعاً لِلْمِسْكِينِ فِي ضِيقِهِ، وَمَلْجَأً لَهُ مِنَ الْعَاصِفَةِ، وَظِلًّا تَقِيهِ وَهَجَ الْحَرِّ، لأَنَّ نَفْخَةَ العُتَاةِ كَسَيْلٍ يَرْتَطِمُ بِحَائِطٍ.

For you have been a place of safety for the one who is poor, a shelter for the one who is needy in his distress— a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. When the breath of the ruthless was like a storm against a wall,

٥ 5 تُخْرِسُ ضَجِيجَ الْغُرَبَاءِ كَمَا تُطْفِئُ الْحَرَّ فِي أَرْضٍ جَافَّةٍ وَتُسْكِتُ غِنَاءَ العُتَاةِ كَمَا تُبَرِّدُ الْحَرَّ بِظِلِّ سَحَابَةٍ.

and like heat in a dry land, you subdued the noise of foreigners, as the heat is subdued by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless ones is answered.

٦ 6 فِي هَذَا الْجَبَلِ، فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، يُقِيمُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مَأْدُبَةَ مُسَمَّنَاتٍ لِجَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ، مَأْدُبَةَ خَمْرٍ صَافِيَةٍ مُعَتَّقَةٍ، مَأْدُبَةَ لُحُومٍ وَأَمْخَاخٍ.

On this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, of choice wines, of tender meats, a feast on the lees.

٧ 7 وَيُمَزِّقُ فِي هَذَا الْجَبَلِ النِّقَابَ الْمَسْدُولَ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ، وَالْحِجَابَ الَّذِي يُغَطِّي جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ،

He will destroy on this mountain the covering over all peoples, the web woven over all the nations.

٨ 8 وَيُبْتَلَعُ الْمَوْتُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَمْسَحُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الدُّمُوعَ الْمُنْهَمِرَةَ عَلَى الْوجُوهِ، وَيُزِيلُ عَارَ شَعْبِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ. هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ.

He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces; the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

٩ 9 وَيَقُولُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ: «هَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا الَّذِي انْتَظَرْنَاهُ فَخَلَّصَنَا. هَذَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي انْتَظَرْنَاهُ نَبْتَهِجُ وَنَفْرَحُ بِخَلاصِهِ».

It will be said on that day, “Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is Yahweh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

١٠ 10 لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ تَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَى هَذَا الْجَبَلِ وَيُوْطَأُ مُوآبُ فِي مَكَانِهِ كَمَا يُوْطَأُ التِّبْنُ فِي الطِّينِ.

For on this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest; and Moab will be trampled down in his place, even as straw is trampled down in a pit filled with manure.

١١ 11 وَيَبْسِطُ يَدَيْهِ فِي وَسَطِ مُوآبَ كَمَا يَبْسِطُ السَّابِحُ يَدَيْهِ لِيَسْبَحَ، وَيَخْفِضُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كِبْرِيَائِهِ وَمِنْ مَكَايِدِ يَدَيْهِ،

They will spread their hands in the midst of it, as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim. But Yahweh will bring down their pride in spite of the skill of their hands.

١٢ 12 وَيَهْدِمُ أَسْوَارَهُ الْحَصِينَةَ الشَّامِخَةَ، وَيَخْفِضُهَا حَتَّى تَتَسَاوَى مَعَ التُّرَابِ.

Your high fortress walls he will bring down to the ground, to the dust.
