< Isaiah 34 >

1 Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear, the world, and everything that comes from it.
اقْتَرِبُوا أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ لِلاسْتِمَاعِ، أَصْغُوا أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ. لِتَسْمَعِ الأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا، الْمَسْكُونَةُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا،١
2 For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَاخِطٌ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ، وَغَضَبُهُ مُنْصَبٌّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَجْنَادِهِمْ. قَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْفَنَاءِ، وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ،٢
3 Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up. The mountains will melt in their blood.
فَتُطْرَحُ قَتْلاهُمْ وَيَنْتَشِرُ نَتْنُ جِيَفِهِمْ فِي الْفَضَاءِ، وَتَفِيضُ الْجِبَالُ بِدِمَائِهِمْ،٣
4 All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
وَتَنْحَلُّ كُلُّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ، وَتُطْوَى السَّمَاوَاتُ كَدَرْجٍ، وَتَتَسَاقَطُ كُلُّ نُجُومِهَا كَتَسَاقُطِ أَوْرَاقِ الْكَرْمَةِ أَوْ حَبَّاتِ التِّينِ الْمُتَغَضِّنَةِ.٤
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
لأَنَّ سَيْفِي قَدْ تَشَرَّبَ بِالسَّخَطِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهَا هُوَ يَنْزِلُ لِيُعَاقِبَ أَدُومَ، وَيَنْتَقِمَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي قَضَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالفَنَاءِ.٥
6 The LORD’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
لِلرَّبِّ سَيْفٌ مُشْبَعٌ بِالدَّمِ، مَطْلِيٌّ بِالشَّحْمِ، بِدَمِ حُمْلانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ، وَبِشَحْمِ كُلَى كِبَاشٍ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ذَبِيحَةً فِي بُصْرَةَ، وَمَذْبَحَةً فِي أَدُومَ.٦
7 The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
وَيَسْقُطُ مَعَهُمُ الْبَقَرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ، وَالْعُجُولُ وَالثِّيرَانُ الْقَوِيَّةُ، فَتَتَشَبَّعُ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالدِّمَاءِ، وَيُخْصِبُ تُرَابُهُمْ بِالشَّحْمِ،٧
8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ يَوْمَ انْتِقَامٍ، سَنَةَ ثَأْرٍ لِدَعْوَى صِهْيَوْنَ،٨
9 Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, and its land will become burning pitch.
فَتَنْقَلِبُ أَنْهَارُ أَدُومَ إِلَى زِفْتٍ، وَتُرَابُهُمْ إِلَى كِبْرِيتٍ، وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُهَا قَاراً مُشْتَعِلاً.٩
10 It will not be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
فَلا تَنْطَفِئُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، وَيُحَلِّقُ دُخَانُهَا إِلَى الْفَضَاءِ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ، وَتَظَلُّ خَرَاباً جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ، فَلا يَعْبُرُ بِها أَحَدٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ،١٠
11 But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
وَلا يَرِثُهَا سِوَى الصُّقُورِ وَالْقَنَافِذِ، وَيَسْكُنُ فِيهَا الْبُومُ وَالْغُرَابُ، وَيَمُدُّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهَا خَيْطَ الدَّمَارِ وَمِطْمَارَ الْهَلاكِ،١١
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
وَلا يَجِدُ فِيهَا أَشْرَافُهَا أَثَراً لِلْمَلِكِ، وَيَنْقَرِضُ جَميِعُ رُؤَسَائِهَا.١٢
13 Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
يَنْمُو الشَّوْكُ فِي قُصُورِهَا، وَيَزْحَفُ الْعَوْسَجُ عَلَى حُصُونِهَا، فَتُصْبِحُ مَأْوىً لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَمَسْكِناً لِلنَّعَامِ.١٣
14 The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.
وَتَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْوُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ مَعَ الذِّئَابِ، وَوَعْلُ الْبَرِّ يَدْعُو صَاحِبَهُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَسْتَقِرُّ وُحُوشُ اللَّيْلِ وَتَجِدُ لِنَفْسِهَا مَلاذَ رَاحَةٍ.١٤
15 The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
هُنَاكَ تَعِيشُ الْبُومُ وَتَبِيضُ وَتُفْرِخُ وَتَرْعَى صِغَارَهَا تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا، وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً تَتَلاقَى الصُّقُورُ بَعْضُهَا بِبَعْضٍ.١٥
16 Search in the book of the LORD, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
ابْحَثُوا فِي سِفْرِ الرَّبِّ وَاقْرَأُوا: فَكَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَسْقُطَ، إِذْ كُلُّ أَلِيفٍ سَيَجْتَمِعُ بِأَلِيفِهِ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ أَمَرَ، وَرُوحَهُ يَجْمَعُهَا مَعاً.١٦
17 He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
فَهُوَ قَدْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا الْقُرْعَةَ، وَيَدُهُ قَدْ وَزَّعَتْهَا بِقِسْطَاسٍ، فَتَرِثُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَتُقِيمُ فِيهَا جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.١٧
