< Isaiah 3 >

1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, does take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا الطَّعَامَ وَالْمَاءَ.١
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
وَيَقْضِيَ فِيهَا عَلَى كُلِّ بَطَلٍ وَمُحَارِبٍ وَقَاضٍ وَنَبِيٍّ وَعَرَّافٍ وَشَيْخٍ٢
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
وَعَلَى كُلِّ قَائِدٍ وَعَظِيمٍ وَمُشِيرٍ وَصَانِعٍ مَاهِرٍ وَسَاحِرٍ بَارِعٍ.٣
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
وَأَجْعَلُ الصِّبْيَانَ رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ، وَالأَطْفَالَ حُكَّاماً عَلَيْهِمْ،٤
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
فَيَجُورُ الشَّعْبُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَالرَّجُلُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، وَالْجَارُ عَلَى جَارِهِ، وَيَتَمَرَّدُ الصَّغِيرُ عَلَى الْكَبِيرِ وَالْحَقِيرُ عَلَى النَّبِيلِ.٥
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, You have clothing, be you our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand:
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَقْبِضُ الإِنْسَانُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ قَائِلاً لَهُ: «إِنَّ عِنْدَكَ ثَوْباً، فَامْلُكْ عَلَيْنَا لِتُنْقِذَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْفَوْضَى».٦
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
فَيُجِيبُهُمْ قَائِلاً: «لَسْتُ طَبِيباً، وَلا أَمْلِكُ طَعَاماً أَوْ ثِيَاباً فِي بَيْتِي، فَلا تَجْعَلُونِي رَئِيساً لِلشَّعْبِ».٧
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
قَدْ سَقَطَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ؛ انهَارَتْ يَهُوذَا لأَنَّهُمَا أَسَاءَتَا بِالْقَوْلِ وَالْفِعْلِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَتَمَرَّدَتَا عَلَى سُلْطَانِهِ.٨
9 The show of their countenance does witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves.
مَلامِحُ وُجُوهِهِمْ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، إِذْ يُجَاهِرُونَ بِخَطِيئَتِهِمْ كَسَدُومَ وَلا يَسْتُرُونَهَا، فَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ جَلَبُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ شَرّاً.٩
10 Say you to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
وَلَكِنْ بَشِّرُوا الصِّدِّيقِينَ بِالْخَيْرِ لأَنَّهُمْ سَيَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِثَوَابِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ١٠
11 Woe to the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
أَمَّا الشِّرِّيرُ فَوَيْلٌ لَهُ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرَ لأَنَّهُ يُجَازَى عَلَى مَا جَنَتْهُ يَدَاهُ١١
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
ظَالِمُو شَعْبِي أَوْلادٌ وَالْحَاكِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ نِسَاءٌ. آهِ يَا شَعْبِي! إِنَّ قَادَتَكُمْ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَيَقْتَادُونَكُمْ فِي مَسَالِكَ مُنْحَرِفَةٍ.١٢
13 The LORD stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.
لَقَدْ تَرَبَّعَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْقَضَاءِ، قَامَ لِيَدِينَ النَّاسَ.١٣
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for you have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
الرَّبُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي الْمُحَاكَمَةِ ضِدَّ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ وَقَادَتِهِمْ. وَيَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ أَتْلَفْتُمْ كَرْمِي، وَصَارَ سَلَبُ الْبَائِسِ فِي مَنَازِلِكُمْ.١٤
15 What mean you that you beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord GOD of hosts.
فَمَاذَا تَقْصِدُونَ مِنْ سَحْقِ شَعْبِي وَطَحْنِ وُجُوهِ الْبَائِسِينَ؟»١٥
16 Moreover the LORD says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «لأَنَّ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ مُتَغَطْرِسَاتٌ، يَمْشِينَ بِأَعْنَاقٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ غَامِزَاتٍ بِعُيُونِهِنَّ، مُتَخَطِّرَاتٍ فِي سَيْرِهِنَّ، مُجَلْجِلاتٍ بِخَلاخِيلِ أَقْدَامِهِنَّ.١٦
17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
سَيُصِيبُهُنَّ الرَّبُّ بِالصَّلَعِ، وَيُعَرِّي عَوْرَاتِهِنَّ».١٧
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْزِعُ الرَّبُّ زِينَةَ الْخَلاخِيلِ، وَعِصَابَاتِ رُؤُوسِهِنَّ وَالأَهِلَّةَ،١٨
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
وَالأَقْرَاطَ وَالأَسَاوِرَ وَالْبَرَاقِعَ،١٩
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
وَالْعَصَائِبَ وَالسَّلاسِلَ وَالأَحْزِمَةَ، وَآنِيَةَ الطِّيبِ وَالتَّعَاوِيذَ٢٠
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
وَالْخَوَاتِمَ وَخَزَائِمَ الأَنْفِ،٢١
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
وَالثِّيَابَ الْمُزَخْرَفَةَ وَالْعِبَاءَاتِ وَالْمَعَاطِفَ وَالأَكْيَاسَ٢٢
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils.
وَالْمَرَايَا وَالأَرْدِيَةَ الكَتَّانِيَّةَ، وَالْعَصَائِبَ الْمُزَيَّنَةَ وَأَغْطِيَةَ الرُّؤُوسِ٢٣
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
فَتَحِلُّ الْعُفُونَةُ مَحَلَّ الطِّيبِ، وَالْحَبْلُ عِوَضَ الْحِزَامِ، وَالصَّلَعُ بَدَلَ الشَّعْرِ الْمُنَسَّقِ، وَحِزَامُ الْمِسْحِ فِي مَوْضِعِ الثَّوْبِ الْفَاخِرِ، وَالْعَارُ عِوَضَ الْجَمَالِ،٢٤
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
فَيَسْقُطُ رِجَالُكِ فِي الحَرْبِ، وَيَلْقَى أَبْطَالُكِ حَتْفَهُمْ فِي سَاحَةِ الْحَرْبِ٢٥
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit on the ground.
فَتَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَتَنْطَرِحُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَهْجُورَةً.٢٦
