إشَعْياء 9
| وَلَكِنْ لَنْ يُخَيِّمَ ظَلامٌ عَلَى الَّتِي تُعَانِي مِنَ الضِّيقِ، فَكَمَا أَذَلَّ اللهُ فِي الزَّمَنِ الْغَابِرِ أَرْضَ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي، فَإِنَّهُ فِي الزَّمَنِ الأَخِيرِ يُكْرِمُ طَرِيقَ الْبَحْرِ وَعَبْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ، جَلِيلَ الأُمَمِ. | ١ 1 |
Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
| الشَّعْبُ السَّالِكُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ أَبْصَرَ نُوراً عَظِيماً، وَالْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ أَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ نُورٌ. | ٢ 2 |
O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: ye that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
| كَثَّرْتَ الأُمَّةَ وَزِدْتَهَا فَرَحاً، ابْتَهَجُوا فِي حَضْرَتِكَ كَمَا يَبْتَهِجُونَ فِي أَوَانِ الْحَصَادِ وَكَمَا يَبْتَهِجُ الَّذِينَ يَتَقَاسَمُونَ الْغَنَائِمَ. | ٣ 3 |
The multitude of the people which thou hast brought down in thy joy, they shall even rejoice before thee as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
| لأَنَّكَ قَدْ حَطَّمْتَ، كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ مِدْيَانَ، نِيرَ ثِقْلِهِ وَعَصَا كَتِفِهِ وَقَضِيبَ مُسَخِّرِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
| إِذْ كُلُّ سِلاحِ الْمُتَسَلِّحِ فِي الْوَغَى، وَكُلُّ رِدَاءٍ مُلَطَّخٍ بِالدِّمَاءِ، يُطْرَحُ وَقُوداً لِلنَّارِ وَيُحْرَقُ. | ٥ 5 |
For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
| لأَنَّهُ يُوْلَدُ لَنَا وَلَدٌ وَيُعْطَى لَنَا ابْنٌ يَحْمِلُ الرِّيَاسَةَ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، وَيُدْعَى اسْمُهُ عَجِيباً، مُشِيراً، إِلَهاً قَدِيراً، أَباً أَبَدِيًّا، رَئِيسَ السَّلامِ. | ٦ 6 |
For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
| وَلا تَكُونُ نِهَايَةٌ لِنُمُوِّ رِيَاسَتِهِ وَلِلسَّلامِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَسُودَانِ عَرْشَ دَاوُدَ وَمَمْلَكَتَهُ، لِيُثَبِّتَهَا وَيَعْضُدَهَا بِالْحَقِّ وَالْبِرِّ، مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. إِنَّ غَيْرَةَ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تُتَمِّمُ هَذَا. | ٧ 7 |
His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
| لَقَدْ أَصْدَرَ الرَّبُّ قَضَاءَهُ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ فَوَقَعَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٨ 8 |
The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
| فَيَعْلَمُ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ: أَفْرَايِمُ وَسُكَّانُ السَّامِرَةِ الْقَائِلُونَ بِزَهْوٍ وَكِبْرِيَاءِ قَلْبٍ: | ٩ 9 |
And all the people of Ephraim, and they that dwelt in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
| «قَدْ تَسَاقَطَ اللِّبْنُ وَلَكِنَّنَا سَنَبْنِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَدْ قُطِعَ الْجُمَّيْزُ وَلَكِنَّنَا نَسْتَبْدِلُهُ بِخَشَبِ الأَرْزِ!» | ١٠ 10 |
The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
| ولَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُثِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ خُصُومَهُمْ وَيُثِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ، | ١١ 11 |
And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
| فَيَنْقَضُّ الأَرَامِيُّونَ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ، وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنَ الْغَرْبِ لِيَلْتَهِمُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمِلْءِ الْفَمِ، وَمَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا فَإِنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ، وَيَدَهُ مَا بَرِحَتْ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ. | ١٢ 12 |
[even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
| إِنَّ الشَّعْبَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ تَائِباً إِلَى مَنْ عَاقَبَهُ، وَلا طَلَبَ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ. | ١٣ 13 |
But the people turned not until they were smitten, and they sought not the Lord.
| لِذَلِكَ سَيَقْطَعُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ الرَّأْسَ وَالذَّنَبَ، النَّخْلَةَ وَالْقَصَبَةَ. | ١٤ 14 |
So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
| إِنَّ الشَّيْخَ وَالْوَجِيهَ هُوَ الرَّأْسُ، وَالنَّبِيَّ الَّذِي يُلَقِّنُ الْكَذِبَ هُوَ الذَّنَبُ | ١٥ 15 |
the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
| فَمُرْشِدُو هَذَا الشَّعْبِ يُضِلُّونَهُ، وَالْمُرْشَدُونَ يُبْتَلَعُونَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِشُبَّانِهِمْ، وَلا يَتَرَأَّفُ عَلَى أَيْتَامِهِمْ وَأَرَامِلِهِمْ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَهُمْ مُنَافِقُونَ وَفَاعِلُو شَرٍّ، كُلُّ فَمٍ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَمَاقَةِ، وَمَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا فَإِنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَمْ يَرْتَدْ، وَمَا بَرِحَتْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
| لأَنَّ الفُجُورَ يَحْرِقُ كَالنَّارِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ الشَّوْكَ وَالْحَسَكَ بَلْ تُشْعِلُ أَجَمَاتِ الغَابَةِ فَتَتَصَاعَدُ مِنْهَا سُحُبُ الدُّخَانِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
| إِنَّ الأَرْضَ تَحْتَرِقُ بِغَضَبِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، وَالشَّعْبَ كَوَقُودٍ لِلنَّارِ. لَا يَرْحَمُ وَاحِدٌ أَخَاهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
| يَلْتَهِمُونَ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَلَكِنْ يَظَلُّونَ جِيَاعاً، وَيَفْتَرِسُونَ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَلا يَشْبَعُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
| مَنَسَّى ضِدَّ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَفْرَايِمُ ضِدَّ مَنَسَّى، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا يَتَّحِدَانِ ضِدَّ يَهُوذَا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، وَمَا بَرِحَتْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ! | ٢١ 21 |
For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
