إشَعْياء 32

١ 1 انْظُرُوا هَا إِنَّ مَلِكاً يَمْلِكُ بِالْبِرِّ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ يَحْكُمُونَ بِالْعَدْلِ.

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and as for princes, they shall rule in justice.

٢ 2 وَيُصْبِحُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَمَلاذٍ مِنَ الرِّيحِ، وَكَمَلْجَأٍ مِنَ الْعَاصِفَةِ، أَوْ كَجَدَاوِلِ مِيَاهٍ فِي صَحْرَاءَ، أَوْ كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ جَدْبَاءَ.

And a man shall be as in a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as by the watercourses in a dry place, as in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

٣ 3 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَنْفَتِحُ عُيُونُ النَّاظِرِينَ، وَتُصْغِي آذَانُ السَّامِعِينَ (لاحْتِيَاجَاتِ شَعْبِهِمْ)

And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall attend.

٤ 4 فَتَفْهَمُ وَتَعْلَمُ الْعُقُولُ الْمُتَهَوِّرَةُ، تَنْطِقُ بِطَلاقَةٍ الأَلْسِنَةُ الثَّقِيلَةُ.

The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

٥ 5 وَلا يُدْعَى اللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيماً، وَلا يُقَالُ لِلْمَاكِرِ شَرِيفٌ،

The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be noble.

٦ 6 لأَنَّ اللَّئِيمَ يَنْطِقُ بِاللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَتَآمَرُ بِالإِثْمِ لِيَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً وَلِيَفْتَرِيَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، تَارِكاً الْمُتَضَوِّرَ جُوعاً مِنْ غَيْرِ شِبَعٍ، وَحَارِماً الظَّامِئَ مِنَ الشُّرْبِ.

For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

٧ 7 إِنَّ أَسَالِيبَ الْمَاكِرِ شِرِّيرَةٌ، وَمُؤَامَرَاتِهِ خَبِيثَةٌ لِيُهْلِكَ الْبَائِسِينَ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ الْمِسْكِينُ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ.

The instruments also of the churl are evil; he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, and the needy when he speaketh right.

٨ 8 أَمَّا الْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْمَآثِرِ يَفْتَكِرُ وَبِالْمَكَارِمِ يَشْتَهِرُ.

But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

٩ 9 أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُتْرَفَاتُ الْمُتَكَاسِلاتُ، انْهَضْنَ وَاسْتَمِعْنَ إِلَى صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا الْبَنَاتُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ أَصْغِينَ إِلَى أَقْوَالِي.

Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.

١٠ 10 مَا تَكَادُ تَنْقَضِي أَيَّامٌ عَلَى سَنَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْتَرِيكُنَّ رِعْدَةٌ أَيَّتُهَا الآمِنَاتُ، لأَنَّ الْقِطَافَ قَدْ تَلِفَ، وَمَوْعِدَ جَنْيِ الأَثْمَارِ قَدْ أَخْلَفَ.

After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.

١١ 11 ارْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ وَارْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا الْفَتَيَاتُ الآمِنَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ مِنْ ثِيَابِكُنَّ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَمَنْطِقْنَ أَحْقَاءَكُنَّ بِالْمُسُوحِ.

Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye confident ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins,

١٢ 12 اضْرِبْنَ عَلَى صُدُورِكُنَّ حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْمُرُوجِ الْمُبْهِجَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ.

Smiting upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine;

١٣ 13 لأَنَّ أَرْضَ شَعْبِي تُنْبِتُ الشَّوْكَ وَالْحَسَكَ، فَتَنْمُو حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ الْفَرَحِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُبْتَهِجَةِ.

For the land of my people whereon thorns and briers come up; yea, for all the houses of joy and the joyous city.

١٤ 14 لأَنَّ الْقَصْرَ يُصْبِحُ مَهْجُوراً، وَالْمُدُنَ الْعَامِرَةَ خَالِيَةً، وَالتِّلالَ وَالْبُرُوجَ مَغَاوِرَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَمَرَاحاً لِلْحَمِيرِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ وَمَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ،

For the palace shall be forsaken; the city with its stir shall be deserted; the mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

١٥ 15 حَتَّى يَنْسَكِبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَتَحَوَّلُ البَرِّيَّةُ إِلَى مَرْجٍ مُخْصِبٍ، وَيُحْسَبُ المَرْجُ غَابَةً.

Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

١٦ 16 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْكُنُ الْعَدْلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَيُقِيمُ الْبِرُّ فِي الْمَرْجِ الْمُخْصِبِ،

Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.

١٧ 17 فَيَكُونُ ثَمَرُ الْبِرِّ سَلاماً، وَفِعْلُ الْبِرِّ سَكِينَةً وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ،

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.

١٨ 18 فَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي دِيَارِ سَلامٍ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ آمِنَةٍ، وَفِي أَمَاكِنَ رَاحَةٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ،

And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.

١٩ 19 مَعَ أَنَّ الْبَرَدَ يُسَوِّي الْغَابَةَ بِالأَرْضِ، وَتُدَمَّرُ الْمَدِينَةُ حَتَّى الْحَضِيضِ.

And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; but the city shall descend into the valley.

٢٠ 20 طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الزَّارِعُونَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَاءٍ، الَّذِينَ سَرَّحْتُمْ قَوَائِمَ الثَّوْرِ وَالْحِمَارِ لِتَرْعَى طَلِيقَةً.

Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass.
