< Isaiah 19 >

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ مِصْرَ: هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قَادِمٌ إِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْكَبُ سَحَابَةً سَرِيعَةً، فَتَرْتَجِفُ أَوْثَانُ مِصْرَ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ، وَتَذُوبُ قُلُوبُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ.١
2 And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom.
وَأُثِيرُ مِصْرِيِّينَ عَلَى مِصْرِيِّينَ فَيَتَحَارَبُونَ، وَيَقُومُ الْوَاحِدُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالْمَمْلَكَةُ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ،٢
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
فَتَذُوبُ أَرْوَاحُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ، وَأُبْطِلُ مَشُورَتَهُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُونَ الأَوْثَانَ وَالسَّحَرَةَ وَأَصْحَابَ التَّوَابِعِ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ.٣
4 And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
وَأُسَلِّطُ عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مَوْلىً قَاسياً، فَيَسُودُ مَلِكٌ عَنِيفٌ عَلَيْهِم. هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.٤
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.
وَتَنْضُبُ مِيَاهُ النِّيلِ وَتَجِفُّ الأَحْوَاضُ وَتَيْبَسُ.٥
6 And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither away.
تُنْتِنُ الْقَنَوَاتُ، وَتَتَنَاقَصُ تَفَرُّعَاتُ النِّيلِ وَتَجِفُّ، وَيَتْلَفُ الْقَصَبُ وَالْبَرْدِيُّ.٦
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
وَتَذْبُلُ النَّبَاتَاتُ عَلَى ضِفَافِ نَهْرِ النِّيلِ، وَالْحُقُولُ وَالْمَزْرُوعَاتُ كُلُّهَا تَجِفُّ، وَكَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ مُخْضَرَّةً.٧
8 And the fishers shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
فَيَئِنُّ الصَّيَّادُونَ وَطَارِحُو الشُّصُوصِ فِي النِّيلِ وَيَنُوحُونَ وَيَتَحَسَّرُ الَّذِينَ يُلْقُونَ شِبَاكَهُمْ فِي الْمِيَاهِ.٨
9 Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be confounded.
وَيَتَوَلَّى الْيَأْسُ قُلُوبَ الَّذِينَ يَصْنَعُونَ الْكَتَّانَ الْمُمَشَّطَ، وَيَفْقِدُ حَائِكُو الْكَتَّانِ الْفَاخِرِ كُلَّ أَمَلٍ.٩
10 And the pillars [of Egypt] shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire [shall be] grieved in soul.
وَيُسْحَقُ الرِّجَالُ، وَهُمْ أَعْمِدَةُ الأَرْضِ، وَيَكْتَئِبُ كُلُّ عَامِلٍ أَجِيرٍ.١٠
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
رُؤَسَاءُ صُوعَنَ حَمْقَى، وَمَشُورَاتُ أَحْكَمِ حُكَمَاءِ فِرْعَوْنَ غَبِيَّةٌ. كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ نَحْنُ مِنْ نَسْلِ حُكَمَاءَ، وَأَبْنَاءُ مُلُوكٍ قُدَامَى؟١١
12 Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.
أَيْنَ حُكَمَاؤُكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُطْلِعُوكَ عَلَى مَا قَضَى بِهِ الرَّبُّ الْقْدِيرُ عَلَى مِصْرَ؟١٢
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes.
قَدْ حَمِقَ رُؤَسَاءُ صُوْعَنَ وَانْخَدَعَ أُمَرَاءُ نُوفَ وَأَضَلَّ مِصْرَ شُرَفَاءُ قَبَائِلِهَا١٣
14 Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
جَعَلَ الرَّبُّ فِيهَا رُوحَ فَوْضَى، فَأَضَلُّوا مِصْرَ فِى كُلِّ تَصَرُّفَاتِهَا، حَتَّى تَرَنَّحَتْ كَتَرَنُّحِ السَّكْرَانِ فِي قَيْئِهِ.١٤
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
فَلَمْ يَبْقَ لِعُظَمَائِهَا أَوْ أَدْنِيَائِهَا مَا يَفْعَلُونَهُ فِيهَا.١٥
16 In that day shall the Egyptians be like unto women; and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over them.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَرْتَعِدُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ كَالنِّسَاءِ خَوْفاً مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ الَّتِي يَهُزُّهَا فَوْقَهُمْ.١٦
17 And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt; every one to whom mention is made thereof shall be afraid, because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposeth against it.
وتَغْدُو أَرْضُ يَهُوذَا مَثَارَ رُعْبٍ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فَيَعْتَرِيهَا الْفَزَعُ مِنْ ذِكْرِهَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ قَضَى قَضَاءَهُ عَلَى مِصْرَ.١٧
18 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Jehovah of hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ خَمْسُ مُدُنٍ تَنْطِقُ بِلُغَةِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَحْلِفُ بِالْوَلاءِ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، وَتُدْعَى إِحْدَاهَا مَدِينَةَ الشَّمْسِ.١٨
19 In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُقَامُ مَذْبَحٌ لِلرَّبِّ فِي وَسَطِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ نُصُبٌ لِلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ تُخُومِهَا،١٩
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he will deliver them.
فَيَكُونُ عَلامَةً وَشَهَادَةً لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِالرَّبِّ مِنْ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ، فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ مُخَلِّصاً وَمُدَافِعاً يُنْقِذُهُمْ.٢٠
21 And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and shall perform it.
فَيُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ نَفْسَهُ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَعْبُدُونَهُ وَيُقَدِّمُونَ ذَبِيحَةً وَقَرَابِينَ وَيَنْذِرُونَ لِلرَّبِّ نُذُوراً وَيُوفُونَ بِها.٢١
22 And Jehovah will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
وَيَضْرِبُ الرَّبُّ مِصْرَ؛ يَضْرِبُهَا وَيُبْرِئُهَا، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهَا تَائِبِينَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ دُعَاءَهُمْ وَيَشْفِيهِمْ.٢٢
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَمْتَدُّ طَرِيقٌ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، وَمِنْ أَشُّورَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَيَعْبُدُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَالأَشُّورِيُّونَ الرَّبَّ مَعاً.٢٣
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ثَالِثَ ثَلاثَةٍ مَعَ مِصْرَ وَأَشُّورَ، وَبَرَكَةً فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ،٢٤
25 for that Jehovah of hosts hath blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
فَيُبَارِكُهُمُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ قَائِلاً: «مُبَارَكٌ شَعْبِي مِصْرُ، وَصَنْعَةُ يَدِي أَشُّورُ، وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلُ».٢٥
