وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُ أَشْهَرَ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَعْلُو فَوْقَ كُلِّ التِّلالِ، فَتَتَقَاطَرُ إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ عَدِيدَةٌ، ١ 1
In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it.
وَتُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَوْا لِنَصْعَدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى هَيْكَلِ يَعْقُوبَ لِيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ فَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ، لأَنَّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تُذَاعُ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ». ٢ 2
And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الْكَثِيرَةِ وَيُمْلِي أَحْكَامَهُ بِعَدْلٍ عَلَى أُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَصْنَعُونَ مِنْ سُيُوفِهِمْ أَسِنَّةَ مَحَارِيثَ، وَمِنْ رِمَاحِهِمْ مَنَاجِلَ حَصَادٍ، فَلا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفاً وَلا يَتَلَقَّنُونَ فُنُونَ الْحَرْبِ بَعْدُ. ٣ 3
Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.
بَلْ يَجْلِسُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمِهِ وَتَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ تِينَتِهِ وَلا يُرْعِبُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ بَعْدُ، لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. ٤ 4
And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ تَسْلُكُ بِاسْمِ إِلَهِهَا، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَسْلُكُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. ٥ 5
Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ الْعُرْجَ، وَأَضُمُّ الْمَطْرُودِينَ وَكُلَّ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلْتُ بِهِمِ الْبَلاءَ. ٦ 6
“On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
فَأَجْعَلُ مِنَ الْعُرْجِ بَقِيَّةً، وَمِنَ الْمَنْبُوذِينَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، فَيَمْلِكُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. ٧ 7
And I will make the lame into a remnant, and the outcast into a strong nation. Then the LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ الْقَطِيعِ، يَا تَلَّةَ ابْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، إِلَيْكِ يَعُودُ الْحُكْمُ الأَوَّلُ، مُلْكُ ابْنَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٨ 8
And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion— the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
لِمَاذَا تَنُوحِينَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ؟ هَلْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَلَمَّ بِكِ الأَلَمُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ. ٩ 9
Why do you now cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?
تَلَوَّيْ وَجَعاً وَتَأَوَّهِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُعَانِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ، لأَنَّكِ الآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُقِيمِي فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. سَتَذْهَبِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَهُنَاكَ يَتِمُّ إِنْقَاذُكِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَفْتَدِيكِ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِكِ. ١٠ 10
Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies!
وَالآنَ هَا أُمَمٌ غَفِيرَةٌ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ قَائِلَةً: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ أُورُشَلِيمُ حَتَّى تَتَفَرَّسَ عُيُونُنَا فِي خَرَابِهَا». ١١ 11
But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا نَوَايَا الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَقَاصِدَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَأَكْدَاسٍ إِلَى الْبَيْدَرِ لِيُعَاقِبَهُمْ. ١٢ 12
But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
فَانْهَضِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ وَادْرُسِي أَعْدَاءَكِ، لأَنِّي سَأَجْعَلُ لَكِ قَرْناً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَأَظْلافاً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ فَتَسْحَقِينَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً، وَتُكَرِّسِينَ كُلَّ مَا تَغْنَمِينَهُ مِنْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَتُقَدِّمِينَ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. ١٣ 13
Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron and hooves of bronze to break to pieces many peoples. Then you will devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
