< Isaiah 32 >

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and rulers shall rule in justice.
انْظُرُوا هَا إِنَّ مَلِكاً يَمْلِكُ بِالْبِرِّ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ يَحْكُمُونَ بِالْعَدْلِ.١
2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
وَيُصْبِحُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَمَلاذٍ مِنَ الرِّيحِ، وَكَمَلْجَأٍ مِنَ الْعَاصِفَةِ، أَوْ كَجَدَاوِلِ مِيَاهٍ فِي صَحْرَاءَ، أَوْ كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ جَدْبَاءَ.٢
3 And the eyes of those who see shall not be dim, and the ears of those who hear shall hearken.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَنْفَتِحُ عُيُونُ النَّاظِرِينَ، وَتُصْغِي آذَانُ السَّامِعِينَ (لاحْتِيَاجَاتِ شَعْبِهِمْ)٣
4 And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
فَتَفْهَمُ وَتَعْلَمُ الْعُقُولُ الْمُتَهَوِّرَةُ، تَنْطِقُ بِطَلاقَةٍ الأَلْسِنَةُ الثَّقِيلَةُ.٤
5 The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
وَلا يُدْعَى اللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيماً، وَلا يُقَالُ لِلْمَاكِرِ شَرِيفٌ،٥
6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profaneness, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
لأَنَّ اللَّئِيمَ يَنْطِقُ بِاللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَتَآمَرُ بِالإِثْمِ لِيَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً وَلِيَفْتَرِيَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، تَارِكاً الْمُتَضَوِّرَ جُوعاً مِنْ غَيْرِ شِبَعٍ، وَحَارِماً الظَّامِئَ مِنَ الشُّرْبِ.٦
7 And the instruments of the churl are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
إِنَّ أَسَالِيبَ الْمَاكِرِ شِرِّيرَةٌ، وَمُؤَامَرَاتِهِ خَبِيثَةٌ لِيُهْلِكَ الْبَائِسِينَ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ الْمِسْكِينُ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ.٧
8 But a noble man devises noble things, and in noble things he shall continue.
أَمَّا الْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْمَآثِرِ يَفْتَكِرُ وَبِالْمَكَارِمِ يَشْتَهِرُ.٨
9 Rise up, ye women who are at ease. Hear my voice, ye careless daughters. Give ear to my speech.
أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُتْرَفَاتُ الْمُتَكَاسِلاتُ، انْهَضْنَ وَاسْتَمِعْنَ إِلَى صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا الْبَنَاتُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ أَصْغِينَ إِلَى أَقْوَالِي.٩
10 For ye shall be troubled days beyond a year, ye careless women. For the vintage shall fail; the ingathering shall not come.
مَا تَكَادُ تَنْقَضِي أَيَّامٌ عَلَى سَنَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْتَرِيكُنَّ رِعْدَةٌ أَيَّتُهَا الآمِنَاتُ، لأَنَّ الْقِطَافَ قَدْ تَلِفَ، وَمَوْعِدَ جَنْيِ الأَثْمَارِ قَدْ أَخْلَفَ.١٠
11 Tremble, ye women who are at ease. Be troubled, ye careless ones. Strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
ارْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ وَارْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا الْفَتَيَاتُ الآمِنَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ مِنْ ثِيَابِكُنَّ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَمَنْطِقْنَ أَحْقَاءَكُنَّ بِالْمُسُوحِ.١١
12 They shall beat upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
اضْرِبْنَ عَلَى صُدُورِكُنَّ حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْمُرُوجِ الْمُبْهِجَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ.١٢
13 Thorns and briers shall come up on the land of my people, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
لأَنَّ أَرْضَ شَعْبِي تُنْبِتُ الشَّوْكَ وَالْحَسَكَ، فَتَنْمُو حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ الْفَرَحِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُبْتَهِجَةِ.١٣
14 For the palace shall be forsaken. The populous city shall be deserted. The hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,
لأَنَّ الْقَصْرَ يُصْبِحُ مَهْجُوراً، وَالْمُدُنَ الْعَامِرَةَ خَالِيَةً، وَالتِّلالَ وَالْبُرُوجَ مَغَاوِرَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَمَرَاحاً لِلْحَمِيرِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ وَمَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ،١٤
15 until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest.
حَتَّى يَنْسَكِبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَتَحَوَّلُ البَرِّيَّةُ إِلَى مَرْجٍ مُخْصِبٍ، وَيُحْسَبُ المَرْجُ غَابَةً.١٥
16 Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْكُنُ الْعَدْلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَيُقِيمُ الْبِرُّ فِي الْمَرْجِ الْمُخْصِبِ،١٦
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
فَيَكُونُ ثَمَرُ الْبِرِّ سَلاماً، وَفِعْلُ الْبِرِّ سَكِينَةً وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ،١٧
18 And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
فَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي دِيَارِ سَلامٍ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ آمِنَةٍ، وَفِي أَمَاكِنَ رَاحَةٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ،١٨
19 But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest, and the city shall be utterly laid low.
مَعَ أَنَّ الْبَرَدَ يُسَوِّي الْغَابَةَ بِالأَرْضِ، وَتُدَمَّرُ الْمَدِينَةُ حَتَّى الْحَضِيضِ.١٩
20 Blessed are ye who sow beside all waters, who send forth the feet of the ox and the donkey.
طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الزَّارِعُونَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَاءٍ، الَّذِينَ سَرَّحْتُمْ قَوَائِمَ الثَّوْرِ وَالْحِمَارِ لِتَرْعَى طَلِيقَةً.٢٠
