Isaiah 2

1 The word which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.

١ اَلْأُمُورُ ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ مِنْ جِهَةِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:

2 And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.

٢ وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

3 And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

٣ وَتَسِيرُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

4 And he will be the judge between the nations, and the peoples will be ruled by his decisions: and their swords will be turned into plough-blades, and their spears into vine-knives: no longer will the nations be turning their swords against one another, and the knowledge of war will be gone for ever.

٤ فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَيُنْصِفُ لِشُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

5 O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.

٥ يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَلُمَّ فَنَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

6 For you, O Lord, have given up your people, the family of Jacob, because they are full of the evil ways of the east, and make use of secret arts like the Philistines, and are friends with the children of strange countries.

٦ فَإِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ شَعْبَكَ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱمْتَلَأُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُمْ عَائِفُونَ كَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيُصَافِحُونَ أَوْلَادَ ٱلْأَجَانِبِ.

7 And their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their stores; their land is full of horses, and there is no end to their carriages.

٧ وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ خَيْلًا وَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ.

8 Their land is full of images; they give worship to the work of their hands, even to that which their fingers have made.

٨ وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ أَوْثَانًا. يَسْجُدُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِمَا صَنَعَتْهُ أَصَابِعُهُمْ.

9 And the poor man's head is bent, and the great man goes down on his face: for this cause there will be no forgiveness for their sin.

٩ وَيَنْخَفِضُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، وَيَنْطَرِحُ ٱلرَّجُلُ، فَلَا تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ.

10 Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.

١٠ اُدْخُلْ إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ وَٱخْتَبِئْ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ.

11 The high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low, and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.

١١ تُوضَعُ عَيْنَا تَشَامُخِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَتُخْفَضُ رِفْعَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

12 For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;

١٢ فَإِنَّ لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَوْمًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَعَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُرْتَفِعٍ فَيُوضَعُ،

13 And on all the high trees of Lebanon, and on all the strong trees of Bashan;

١٣ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ ٱلْعَالِي ٱلْمُرْتَفِعِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،

14 And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills which are lifted up;

١٤ وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلتِّلَالِ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،

15 And on every high tower, and on every strong wall;

١٥ وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُورٍ مَنِيعٍ،

16 And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all the fair boats.

١٦ وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَعْلَامِ ٱلْبَهِجَةِ.

17 And the high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low: and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.

١٧ فَيُخْفَضُ تَشَامُخُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَتُوضَعُ رِفْعَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

18 And the images will never be seen again.

١٨ وَتَزُولُ ٱلْأَوْثَانُ بِتَمَامِهَا.

19 And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

١٩ وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي مَغَايِرِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، وَفِي حَفَائِرِ ٱلتُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ، عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

20 In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;

٢٠ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ أَوْثَانَهُ ٱلْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَوْثَانَهُ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةَ، ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا لَهُ لِلسُّجُودِ، لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَٱلْخَفَافِيشِ،

21 To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

٢١ لِيَدْخُلَ فِي نُقَرِ ٱلصُّخُورِ وَفِي شُقُوقِ ٱلْمَعَاقِلِ، مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

22 Have no more to do with man, whose life is only a breath, for he is of no value.

٢٢ كُفُّوا عَنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يُحْسَبُ؟
