إشَعْياء 3

١ 1 هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا الطَّعَامَ وَالْمَاءَ.

For look, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;

٢ 2 وَيَقْضِيَ فِيهَا عَلَى كُلِّ بَطَلٍ وَمُحَارِبٍ وَقَاضٍ وَنَبِيٍّ وَعَرَّافٍ وَشَيْخٍ

the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,

٣ 3 وَعَلَى كُلِّ قَائِدٍ وَعَظِيمٍ وَمُشِيرٍ وَصَانِعٍ مَاهِرٍ وَسَاحِرٍ بَارِعٍ.

the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

٤ 4 وَأَجْعَلُ الصِّبْيَانَ رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ، وَالأَطْفَالَ حُكَّاماً عَلَيْهِمْ،

And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.

٥ 5 فَيَجُورُ الشَّعْبُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَالرَّجُلُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، وَالْجَارُ عَلَى جَارِهِ، وَيَتَمَرَّدُ الصَّغِيرُ عَلَى الْكَبِيرِ وَالْحَقِيرُ عَلَى النَّبِيلِ.

The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.

٦ 6 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَقْبِضُ الإِنْسَانُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ قَائِلاً لَهُ: «إِنَّ عِنْدَكَ ثَوْباً، فَامْلُكْ عَلَيْنَا لِتُنْقِذَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْفَوْضَى».

Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."

٧ 7 فَيُجِيبُهُمْ قَائِلاً: «لَسْتُ طَبِيباً، وَلا أَمْلِكُ طَعَاماً أَوْ ثِيَاباً فِي بَيْتِي، فَلا تَجْعَلُونِي رَئِيساً لِلشَّعْبِ».

In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.

٨ 8 قَدْ سَقَطَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ؛ انهَارَتْ يَهُوذَا لأَنَّهُمَا أَسَاءَتَا بِالْقَوْلِ وَالْفِعْلِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَتَمَرَّدَتَا عَلَى سُلْطَانِهِ.

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

٩ 9 مَلامِحُ وُجُوهِهِمْ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، إِذْ يُجَاهِرُونَ بِخَطِيئَتِهِمْ كَسَدُومَ وَلا يَسْتُرُونَهَا، فَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ جَلَبُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ شَرّاً.

The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ بَشِّرُوا الصِّدِّيقِينَ بِالْخَيْرِ لأَنَّهُمْ سَيَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِثَوَابِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ

Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

١١ 11 أَمَّا الشِّرِّيرُ فَوَيْلٌ لَهُ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرَ لأَنَّهُ يُجَازَى عَلَى مَا جَنَتْهُ يَدَاهُ

Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.

١٢ 12 ظَالِمُو شَعْبِي أَوْلادٌ وَالْحَاكِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ نِسَاءٌ. آهِ يَا شَعْبِي! إِنَّ قَادَتَكُمْ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَيَقْتَادُونَكُمْ فِي مَسَالِكَ مُنْحَرِفَةٍ.

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.

١٣ 13 لَقَدْ تَرَبَّعَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْقَضَاءِ، قَامَ لِيَدِينَ النَّاسَ.

The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.

١٤ 14 الرَّبُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي الْمُحَاكَمَةِ ضِدَّ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ وَقَادَتِهِمْ. وَيَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ أَتْلَفْتُمْ كَرْمِي، وَصَارَ سَلَبُ الْبَائِسِ فِي مَنَازِلِكُمْ.

The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.

١٥ 15 فَمَاذَا تَقْصِدُونَ مِنْ سَحْقِ شَعْبِي وَطَحْنِ وُجُوهِ الْبَائِسِينَ؟»

What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says the LORD of hosts.

١٦ 16 وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «لأَنَّ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ مُتَغَطْرِسَاتٌ، يَمْشِينَ بِأَعْنَاقٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ غَامِزَاتٍ بِعُيُونِهِنَّ، مُتَخَطِّرَاتٍ فِي سَيْرِهِنَّ، مُجَلْجِلاتٍ بِخَلاخِيلِ أَقْدَامِهِنَّ.

Moreover the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;

١٧ 17 سَيُصِيبُهُنَّ الرَّبُّ بِالصَّلَعِ، وَيُعَرِّي عَوْرَاتِهِنَّ».

therefore the LORD brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald."

١٨ 18 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْزِعُ الرَّبُّ زِينَةَ الْخَلاخِيلِ، وَعِصَابَاتِ رُؤُوسِهِنَّ وَالأَهِلَّةَ،

In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,

١٩ 19 وَالأَقْرَاطَ وَالأَسَاوِرَ وَالْبَرَاقِعَ،

the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,

٢٠ 20 وَالْعَصَائِبَ وَالسَّلاسِلَ وَالأَحْزِمَةَ، وَآنِيَةَ الطِّيبِ وَالتَّعَاوِيذَ

the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,

٢١ 21 وَالْخَوَاتِمَ وَخَزَائِمَ الأَنْفِ،

the signet rings, the nose rings,

٢٢ 22 وَالثِّيَابَ الْمُزَخْرَفَةَ وَالْعِبَاءَاتِ وَالْمَعَاطِفَ وَالأَكْيَاسَ

the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,

٢٣ 23 وَالْمَرَايَا وَالأَرْدِيَةَ الكَتَّانِيَّةَ، وَالْعَصَائِبَ الْمُزَيَّنَةَ وَأَغْطِيَةَ الرُّؤُوسِ

the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.

٢٤ 24 فَتَحِلُّ الْعُفُونَةُ مَحَلَّ الطِّيبِ، وَالْحَبْلُ عِوَضَ الْحِزَامِ، وَالصَّلَعُ بَدَلَ الشَّعْرِ الْمُنَسَّقِ، وَحِزَامُ الْمِسْحِ فِي مَوْضِعِ الثَّوْبِ الْفَاخِرِ، وَالْعَارُ عِوَضَ الْجَمَالِ،

It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

٢٥ 25 فَيَسْقُطُ رِجَالُكِ فِي الحَرْبِ، وَيَلْقَى أَبْطَالُكِ حَتْفَهُمْ فِي سَاحَةِ الْحَرْبِ

Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

٢٦ 26 فَتَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَتَنْطَرِحُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَهْجُورَةً.

Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
