إشَعْياء 5

١ 1 سَأَشْدُو لِحَبِيبِي أُغْنِيَةً عَنْ كَرْمِهِ: كَانَ لِحَبِيبِي كَرْمٌ عَلَى تَلٍّ خَصِيبٍ،

Now will I sing to my beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

٢ 2 حَرَثَ أَرْضَهُ وَنَقَّاهُ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ، وَغَرَسَ فِيهِ أَفْضَلَ كَرْمَةٍ، وَشَيَّدَ فِي وَسَطِهِ بُرْجاً، وَنَقَرَ فِي الْصَّخْرِ مِعْصَرَةً. ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ أَنْ يُثْمِرَ لَهُ عِنَباً فَأَنْتَجَ لَهُ حِصْرِماً!

And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the best vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

٣ 3 وَالآنَ يَا أَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَرِجَالَ يَهُوذَا، احْكُمُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ كَرْمِي.

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

٤ 4 أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُصْنَعَ لِكَرْمِي لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ؟ وَعِنْدَمَا انْتَظَرْتُ مِنْهُ أَنْ يُثْمِرَ لِي عِنَباً، لِمَاذَا أَنْتَجَ حِصْرِماً؟

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

٥ 5 وَالآنَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَرْمِي: سَأُزِيلُ سِيَاجَهُ فَيُصْبِحُ مَرْعَى مَاشِيَةٍ، وَأَهْدِمُ سُورَهُ فَيَضْحَى مَدَاسَ أَقْدَامٍ،

And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

٦ 6 وَأَجْعَلُهُ خَرَاباً فَلا يُقَلَّمُ وَلا يُنْقَبُ، فَيَنْبُتُ فِيهِ شَوْكٌ وَحَسَكٌ. وَأُوْصِي السَّحَابَ أَنْ لَا يَمْطُرَ عَلَيْهِ أَبَداً.

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor dug; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

٧ 7 لأَنَّ كَرْمَ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ هُوَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَرِجَالَ يَهُوذَا هُمْ غَرْسُ بَهْجَتِهِ. وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا انْتَظَرَ حَقّاً وَجَدَ سَفْكَ دِمَاءٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا الْتَمَسَ عَدْلاً رَأَى صُرَاخاً.

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

٨ 8 اشْتَرَيْتُمُ الْبُيُوتَ وَالْحُقُولَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ مَكَانٌ يَسْكُنُ فِيهِ! صَارَتِ الأَرْضُ لَكُمْ وَحْدَكُمْ!

Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

٩ 9 سَمِعْتُ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَقُولُ: «الْبُيُوتُ الْعَظِيمَةُ لابُدَّ أَنْ تُصْبِحَ خَرَاباً، وَالْمَنَازِلُ الْفَخْمَةُ تَغْدُو مَهْجُورَةً.

In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Truthfully many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

١٠ 10 فَعَشَرَةُ فَدَادِينِ كُرُومٍ لَا تُغِلُّ سِوَى بَثٍّ وَاحِدٍ (مِئَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً) مِنَ النَّبِيذِ، وَحُومَرٌ (عَشْرَ كَيْلاتٍ) مِنَ الْبُذُورِ يُنْتِجُ كَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً».

Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

١١ 11 وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَنْهَضُونَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ مُبَكِّرِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ الْمُسْكِرِ حَتَّى سَاعَةٍ مُتَأَخِّرَةٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى أَنْ تُلْهِبَهُمُ الْخَمْرُ.

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

١٢ 12 يَتَلَهَّوْنَ فِي مَآدِبِهِمْ بِالْعُودِ وَالرَّبَابِ وَالدُّفِّ وَالنَّايِ وَالْخَمْرِ، غَيْرَ مُكْتَرِثِينَ لأَعْمَالِ الرَّبِّ وَلا نَاظِرِينَ إِلَى صُنْعِ يَدَيْهِ،

And the harp, and the viol, the timbrel, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ يُسْبَى شَعْبِي لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ، وَيَمُوتُ عُظَمَاؤُهُمْ جُوعاً، وَيَهْلِكُ الْعَامَّةُ ظَمَأً.

Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

١٤ 14 لِهَذَا وَسَّعَتِ الْهَاوِيَةُ أَحْشَاءَهَا وَفَغَرَتْ شَدْقَهَا إِلَى مَا لَا نِهَايَةَ، لِيَنْحَدِرَ فِيهَا شُرَفَاءُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَجَمَاهِيرُهَا وَعَجِيجُهَا وَكُلُّ طَرَبٍ فِيهَا (Sheol h7585)

Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)

١٥ 15 وَيُذَلُّ الإِنْسَانُ وَيُخْفَضُ النَّاسُ، وَيُحَطُّ كُلُّ مُتَشَامِخٍ فِيهَا.

And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

١٦ 16 وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يُمَجَّدُ بِالْعَدْلِ، وَيُبْدِي الرَّبُّ الْقُدُّوسُ قَدَاسَتَهُ بِالْبِرِّ.

But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

١٧ 17 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَرْعَى الْحُمْلانُ فِي مَرَاعِيهِمْ، وَالْخِرْفَانُ وَالْمَاعِزُ تَأْكُلُ بَيْنَ خِرَبِهِمْ.

Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

١٨ 18 وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَجُرُّونَ الإِثْمَ بِحِبَالِ الْبَاطِلِ، وَالْخَطِيئَةَ بِمِثْلِ أَمْرَاسِ الْعَرَبَةِ

Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

١٩ 19 وَيَقُولُونَ: لِيُسْرِعْ وَلْيُعَجِّلْ بِعِقَابِهِ حَتَّى نَرَاهُ. لِيُنَفِّذْ مُقَدِّسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَأْرَبَهُ فِينَا فَنُدْرِكَ حَقِيقَةَ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ بِنَا.

That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

٢٠ 20 وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَدْعُونَ الشَّرَّ خَيْراً، وَالْخَيْرَ شَرّاً، الْجَاعِلِينَ الظُّلْمَةَ نُوراً وَالنُّورَ ظُلْمَةً وَالْمَرَارَةَ حَلاوَةً وَالْحَلاوَةَ مَرَارَةً!

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

٢١ 21 وَيْلٌ لِلْحُكَمَاءِ فِي أَعْيُنِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَالأَذْكِيَاءِ فِي نَظَرِ ذَوَاتِهِمْ.

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

٢٢ 22 وَيْلٌ لِلْعُتَاةِ فِي شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمُتَفَوِّقِينَ فِي مَزْجِ الْمُسْكِرِ،

Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

٢٣ 23 الَّذِينَ يُبَرِّئُونَ الْمُذْنِبَ بِفَضْلِ الرِّشْوَةِ، وَيُنْكِرُونَ عَلَى الْبَرِيءِ حَقَّهُ.

Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

٢٤ 24 لِهَذَا كَمَا تَلْتَهِمُ النَّارُ الْقَشَّ، وَكَمَا يَفْنَى الْحَشِيشُ الْجَافُّ فِي اللَّهَبِ، كَذَلِكَ يُصِيبُ أُصُولَهُمُ الْعَفَنُ، وَيَتَنَاثَرُ زَهْرُهُمْ كَالتُّرَابِ، لأَنَّهُمْ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَةَ اللهِ وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِكَلِمَةِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ

Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

٢٥ 25 لِذَلِكَ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ ضِدَّ شَعْبِهِ، فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَضَرَبَهُمْ، فَارْتَعَشَتِ الْجِبَالُ، وَأَصْبَحَتْ جُثَثُ مَوْتَاهُمْ كَالْقَاذُورَاتِ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ. وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَلَمْ تَبْرَحْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً بِالْعِقَابِ.

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

٢٦ 26 فَيَرْفَعُ رَايَةً لأُمَمٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، وَيَصْفِرُ لِمَنْ فِي أَطْرَافِ الأَرْضِ، فَيُقْبِلُونَ مُسْرِعِينَ (إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ)،

And he will lift up an explicit sign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

٢٧ 27 دُونَ أَنْ يَكِلُّوا أَوْ يَتَعَثَّرُوا أَوْ يَعْتَرِيَهُمْ نُعَاسٌ أَوْ نَوْمٌ، أَوْ يَحِلَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ حِزَاماً عَنْ حَقَوَيْهِ، وَلا يَنْقَطِعَ لأَحَدٍ سُيُورُ حِذَاءٍ.

None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

٢٨ 28 سِهَامُهُمْ مُسَنَّنَةٌ، وَقِسِيُّهُمْ مَشْدُودَةٌ. حَوَافِرُ خَيْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهَا صَوَّانٌ. عَجَلاتُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ مُنْدَفِعَةٌ كَالإِعْصَارِ.

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

٢٩ 29 زَئِيرُهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ زَئِيرُ أَسَدٍ يُزَمْجِرُ وَيَنْقَضُّ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ وَيَحْمِلُهَا وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْقِذٍ.

Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

٣٠ 30 يُزَمْجِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ كَهَدِيرِ الْبَحْرِ. وَإِنْ جَاسَ أَحَدٌ فِي الْبِلادِ مُتَفَرِّساً لَا يَرَى سِوَى الظُّلْمَةِ وَالضِّيقِ، حَتَّى (انْفِرَاجَاتِ) الضَّوْءِ (أَيْ وَمَضَاتِ الرَّجَاءِ) قَدِ احْتَجَبَتْ وَرَاءَ سُحُبِهِ.

And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
