< صَفَنْيا 3 >
وَيْلٌ لِلْمَدِينَةِ الظَّالِمَةِ الْمُتَمَرِّدَةِ الدَّنِسَةِ، | ١ 1 |
Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
الَّتِي لَا تُصْغِي لِصَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، وَتَأْبَى التَّقْوِيمَ، وَلا تَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَلا تَتَقَرَّبُ مِنْ إِلَهِهَا. | ٢ 2 |
She heeded no voice; she accepted no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.
رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِي دَاخِلِهَا أُسُودٌ زَائِرَةٌ، وَقُضَاتُهَا كَذِئَابِ الْمَسَاءِ الْجَائِعَةِ الَّتِي لَا تُبْقِي شَيْئاً مِنْ فَرَائِسِهَا إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ. | ٣ 3 |
Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.
أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا مَغْرُورُونَ وَخَوَنَةٌ، وَكَهَنَتُهَا يُدَنِّسُونَ الْمَقْدِسَ وَيَتَعَدُّونَ عَلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٤ 4 |
Her prophets are reckless, faithless men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ مَا بَرِحَ صِدِّيقاً فِي وَسَطِهَا، لَا يَرْتَكِبُ خَطَأً، وَيُبْدِي فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ عَدْلَهُ وَفِي كُلِّ فَجْرٍ حَقَّهُ. لَا يُخْفِقُ قَطُّ؛ أَمَّا الأَثِيمُ فَلا يَعْرِفُ مَا هُوَ الْخِزْيُ. | ٥ 5 |
The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
اسْتَأْصَلْتُ أُمَماً فَغَدَتْ بُرُوجُهُمْ أَطْلالاً. أَقْفَرْتُ شَوَارِعَهُمْ فَلا يَعْبُرُ بِها أَحَدٌ. صَارَتْ مُدُنُهُمْ خَرَاباً لَا يُقِيمُ فِيهَا إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ سَاكِنٌ. | ٦ 6 |
“I have cut off the nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have made their streets deserted with no one to pass through. Their cities are laid waste, with no man, no inhabitant.
فَقُلْتُ: لَوْ إِنَّ أَهْلَهَا يَخَافُونَنِي وَيَقْبَلُونَ تَقْوِيمِي، فَلا تُسْتَأْصَلُ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ وَلا يَنْصَبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلُّ غَضَبِي. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ جَدُّوا مُبَكِّرِينَ بِارْتِكَابِ الْفَسَادِ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ أَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ. | ٧ 7 |
I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me and accept correction.’ Then her dwelling place would not be cut off despite all for which I punished her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: انْتَظِرُونِي لأَنِّي عَزَمْتُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَقُومُ فِيهِ كَشَاهِدٍ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ الأُمَمَ وَأَحْشُدَ الْمَمَالِكَ لأَسْكُبَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي وَاحْتِدَامَ غَضَبِي، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ بِكَامِلِهَا سَتُؤْكَلُ بِنَارِ غَيْرَةِ غَيْظِي. | ٨ 8 |
Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “until the day I rise to testify. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation— all My burning anger. For all the earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealousy.
عِنْدَئِذٍ أُنَقِّي شِفَاهَ الشَّعْبِ لِيَدْعُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَيَعْبُدُوهُ جَنْباً إِلَى جَنْبٍ. | ٩ 9 |
For then I will restore pure lips to the peoples, that all may call upon the name of the LORD and serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
فَيُقَرِّبُ إِلَيَّ شَعْبِي الْمُشَتَّتُ ذَبِيحَةً مِنْ وَرَاءِ أَنْهَارِ كُوشٍ حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ الْمُتَضَرِّعُونَ إِلَيَّ. | ١٠ 10 |
From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَنْ يَلْحَقَكُمُ الْعَارُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا ارْتَكَبْتُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ بِها عَلَيَّ، لأَنِّي سَأُزِيلُ آنَئِذٍ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمُ الْمُسْتَخِفِّينَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، فَلا يَبْقَى مُتَشَامِخٌ فِي جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ. | ١١ 11 |
On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.
إِنَّمَا أُبْقِي بَيْنَكُمْ شَعْباً مُتَوَاضِعاً فَقِيراً يَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اسْمِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٢ 12 |
But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD.
وَلَنْ يَرْتَكِبَ بَقِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الإِثْمَ، وَلا يَنْطِقُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ غِشٌّ، بَلْ يَعِيشُونَ آمِنِينَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُهَدِّدَهُمْ أَحَدٌ. | ١٣ 13 |
The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”
اشْدِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ وَاهْتُفْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، ابْتَهِجِي وَتَهَلَّلِي يَا ابْنَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ رَفَعَ عَنْكِ حُكْمَ قَضَائِهِ وَرَدَّ عَنْكِ أَعْدَاءَكِ. إِنَّ الرَّبَّ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَلا تَخْشَيْ شَرّاً فِي مَا بَعْدُ. | ١٥ 15 |
The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm.
وَيُقَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لأُورُشَلِيمَ: لَا تَخَافِي يَا صِهْيَوْنُ، وَلا تَرْتَخِ يَدَاكِ. | ١٦ 16 |
On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp.
فَالرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ، جَبَّارٌ يُخَلِّصُ. يُسَرُّ فَرَحاً بِكِ، وَيُجَدِّدُ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ حَيَاتَكِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ بِكِ مُتَرَنِّماً. | ١٧ 17 |
The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”
وَكَمَا فِي يَوْمِ مَوْسِمِ عِيدٍ، أُزِيلُ عَنْكِ بَلايَاكِ، فَلا تَتَحَمَّلِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَيَّ عَارٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
“I will gather those among you who grieve over the appointed feasts, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أُعَاقِبُ الَّذِينَ ضَايَقُوكِ، وَأُخَلِّصُ الأَعْرَجَ، وَأُعِيدُ الْمَسْبِيَّ، وَأُغْدِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَدْحاً وَشَرَفاً فِي كُلِّ أَرْضٍ تَعَرَّضُوا فِيهَا لِلْخِزْيِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Behold, at that time, I will deal with all who afflict you. I will save the lame and gather the scattered; and I will appoint praise and fame for the disgraced throughout the earth.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ الشَّتَاتِ وَأُعِيدُكُمْ إِلَى مَوْطِنِكُمْ، وَأَجْعَلُ لَكُمْ مَقَاماً شَرِيفاً مَحْمُوداً بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ، حِينَ أَرُدُّ لَكُمُ ازْدِهَارَكُمْ. هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you. For I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your captives before your very eyes,”
