Isaiah 32
1 Watch! A king is coming who does what's right when he rules, and those who rule under him will act fairly.
| انْظُرُوا هَا إِنَّ مَلِكاً يَمْلِكُ بِالْبِرِّ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ يَحْكُمُونَ بِالْعَدْلِ. | ١ |
2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind, like a protection from the storm, like rivers of water in the dry desert, like the shade of a large rock in a sun-baked land.
| وَيُصْبِحُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَمَلاذٍ مِنَ الرِّيحِ، وَكَمَلْجَأٍ مِنَ الْعَاصِفَةِ، أَوْ كَجَدَاوِلِ مِيَاهٍ فِي صَحْرَاءَ، أَوْ كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ جَدْبَاءَ. | ٢ |
3 Then everyone with eyes will be able to truly see, and everyone who has ears will be able to truly hear.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَنْفَتِحُ عُيُونُ النَّاظِرِينَ، وَتُصْغِي آذَانُ السَّامِعِينَ (لاحْتِيَاجَاتِ شَعْبِهِمْ) | ٣ |
4 Those whose minds are impulsive will be sensible and think things through; those who stammer will speak clearly.
| فَتَفْهَمُ وَتَعْلَمُ الْعُقُولُ الْمُتَهَوِّرَةُ، تَنْطِقُ بِطَلاقَةٍ الأَلْسِنَةُ الثَّقِيلَةُ. | ٤ |
5 No longer will fools be called respectable or crooks highly-regarded.
| وَلا يُدْعَى اللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيماً، وَلا يُقَالُ لِلْمَاكِرِ شَرِيفٌ، | ٥ |
6 For fools only talk foolishness, thinking evil things. They act in opposition to the Lord, misrepresenting him in what they say. They refuse to give food to the hungry and deny water to the thirsty.
| لأَنَّ اللَّئِيمَ يَنْطِقُ بِاللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَتَآمَرُ بِالإِثْمِ لِيَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً وَلِيَفْتَرِيَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، تَارِكاً الْمُتَضَوِّرَ جُوعاً مِنْ غَيْرِ شِبَعٍ، وَحَارِماً الظَّامِئَ مِنَ الشُّرْبِ. | ٦ |
7 Cheats use evil methods; they devise schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when right is on the side of the poor.
| إِنَّ أَسَالِيبَ الْمَاكِرِ شِرِّيرَةٌ، وَمُؤَامَرَاتِهِ خَبِيثَةٌ لِيُهْلِكَ الْبَائِسِينَ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ الْمِسْكِينُ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ. | ٧ |
8 But noble people act unselfishly; they keep to their principles of generosity.
| أَمَّا الْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْمَآثِرِ يَفْتَكِرُ وَبِالْمَكَارِمِ يَشْتَهِرُ. | ٨ |
9 Get up, you women who are lying around relaxing, and pay attention to what I'm saying! You ladies without a care in the world, listen to me!
| أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُتْرَفَاتُ الْمُتَكَاسِلاتُ، انْهَضْنَ وَاسْتَمِعْنَ إِلَى صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا الْبَنَاتُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ أَصْغِينَ إِلَى أَقْوَالِي. | ٩ |
10 In just over a year, you who think yourselves so safe will tremble with fear. The grape harvest is going to fail and there'll be no harvest.
| مَا تَكَادُ تَنْقَضِي أَيَّامٌ عَلَى سَنَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْتَرِيكُنَّ رِعْدَةٌ أَيَّتُهَا الآمِنَاتُ، لأَنَّ الْقِطَافَ قَدْ تَلِفَ، وَمَوْعِدَ جَنْيِ الأَثْمَارِ قَدْ أَخْلَفَ. | ١٠ |
11 Shudder, you women relaxing! Tremble, you ladies who feel so safe! Strip off your clothes, bare yourselves and put on sackcloth around your waists.
| ارْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ وَارْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا الْفَتَيَاتُ الآمِنَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ مِنْ ثِيَابِكُنَّ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَمَنْطِقْنَ أَحْقَاءَكُنَّ بِالْمُسُوحِ. | ١١ |
12 Beat your breasts in sadness over the loss of your lovely fields, your productive vines,
| اضْرِبْنَ عَلَى صُدُورِكُنَّ حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْمُرُوجِ الْمُبْهِجَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ. | ١٢ |
13 over the loss of the land of my people. Mourn because it's now overgrown with thorns and brambles, mourn because of the loss of all the happy homes and joyful towns.
| لأَنَّ أَرْضَ شَعْبِي تُنْبِتُ الشَّوْكَ وَالْحَسَكَ، فَتَنْمُو حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ الْفَرَحِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُبْتَهِجَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 The palace is abandoned, the crowded town is deserted. Castles and watch towers will forever become homes loved by wild donkeys, and places where sheep graze,
| لأَنَّ الْقَصْرَ يُصْبِحُ مَهْجُوراً، وَالْمُدُنَ الْعَامِرَةَ خَالِيَةً، وَالتِّلالَ وَالْبُرُوجَ مَغَاوِرَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَمَرَاحاً لِلْحَمِيرِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ وَمَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ، | ١٤ |
15 until the Spirit is poured out on us from above, and the desert becomes like a good field full of crops, and a good field will grow like a forest.
| حَتَّى يَنْسَكِبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَتَحَوَّلُ البَرِّيَّةُ إِلَى مَرْجٍ مُخْصِبٍ، وَيُحْسَبُ المَرْجُ غَابَةً. | ١٥ |
16 Then people living in the desert will practice justice, and those living among the fields will do what is right.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْكُنُ الْعَدْلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَيُقِيمُ الْبِرُّ فِي الْمَرْجِ الْمُخْصِبِ، | ١٦ |
17 Living right will bring peace and security that endures.
| فَيَكُونُ ثَمَرُ الْبِرِّ سَلاماً، وَفِعْلُ الْبِرِّ سَكِينَةً وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، | ١٧ |
18 My people will live in peace, safe and secure in their homes.
| فَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي دِيَارِ سَلامٍ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ آمِنَةٍ، وَفِي أَمَاكِنَ رَاحَةٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ، | ١٨ |
19 Even though hail can destroy a forest, and a town can be demolished,
| مَعَ أَنَّ الْبَرَدَ يُسَوِّي الْغَابَةَ بِالأَرْضِ، وَتُدَمَّرُ الْمَدِينَةُ حَتَّى الْحَضِيضِ. | ١٩ |
20 you will be happy as you sow your crops beside the waters and let your cattle and donkeys roam freely.
| طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الزَّارِعُونَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَاءٍ، الَّذِينَ سَرَّحْتُمْ قَوَائِمَ الثَّوْرِ وَالْحِمَارِ لِتَرْعَى طَلِيقَةً. | ٢٠ |
