< Isaiah 14 >

1 For Yhwh will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَيَرْحَمُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيَخْتَارُ أَيْضًا إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيُرِيحُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، فَتَقْتَرِنُ بِهِمِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ وَيَنْضَمُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ.١
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Yhwh for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
وَيَأْخُذُهُمْ شُعُوبٌ وَيَأْتُونَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُهُمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً، وَيَسْبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ وَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ظَالِمِيهِمْ.٢
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that Yhwh shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
وَيَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ يُرِيحُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ تَعَبِكَ وَمِنِ ٱنْزِعَاجِكَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱسْتُعْبِدْتَ بِهَا،٣
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
أَنَّكَ تَنْطِقُ بِهَذَا ٱلْهَجْوِ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتَقُولُ: «كَيْفَ بَادَ ٱلظَّالِمُ، بَادَتِ ٱلْمُغَطْرِسَةُ؟٤
5 Yhwh hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
قَدْ كَسَّرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَصَا ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، قَضِيبَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ.٥
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
ٱلضَّارِبُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ بِسَخَطٍ، ضَرْبَةً بِلَا فُتُورٍ. ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُ بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، بِٱضْطِهَادٍ بِلَا إمْسَاكٍ.٦
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
اِسْتَرَاحَتِ، ٱطْمَأَنَّتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَتَفُوا تَرَنُّمًا.٧
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
حَتَّى ٱلسَّرْوُ يَفْرَحُ عَلَيْكَ، وَأَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ قَائِلًا: مُنْذُ ٱضْطَجَعْتَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ عَلَيْنَا قَاطِعٌ.٨
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
اَلْهَاوِيَةُ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ مُهْتَزَّةٌ لَكَ، لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ قُدُومِكَ، مُنْهِضَةٌ لَكَ ٱلْأَخْيِلَةَ، جَمِيعَ عُظَمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَقَامَتْ كُلَّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ عَنْ كَرَاسِيِّهِمْ. (Sheol h7585)٩
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
كُلُّهُمْ يُجِيبُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ لَكَ: أَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَعُفْتَ نَظِيرَنَا وَصِرْتَ مِثْلَنَا؟١٠
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
أُهْبِطَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَخْرُكَ، رَنَّةُ أَعْوَادِكَ. تَحْتَكَ تُفْرَشُ ٱلرِّمَّةُ، وَغِطَاؤُكَ ٱلدُّودُ. (Sheol h7585)١١
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
كَيْفَ سَقَطْتِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يَا زُهَرَةُ، بِنْتَ ٱلصُّبْحِ؟ كَيْفَ قُطِعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَا قَاهِرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ؟١٢
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
وَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: أَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. أَرْفَعُ كُرْسِيِّي فَوْقَ كَوَاكِبِ ٱللهِ، وَأَجْلِسُ عَلَى جَبَلِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ فِي أَقَاصِي ٱلشَّمَالِ.١٣
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
أَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلسَّحَابِ. أَصِيرُ مِثْلَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.١٤
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
لَكِنَّكَ ٱنْحَدَرْتَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، إِلَى أَسَافِلِ ٱلْجُبِّ. (Sheol h7585)١٥
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
اَلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَكَ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ إِلَيْكَ، يَتَأَمَّلُونَ فِيكَ. أَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي زَلْزَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَزَعْزَعَ ٱلْمَمَالِكَ،١٦
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كَقَفْرٍ، وَهَدَمَ مُدُنَهُ، ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُطْلِقْ أَسْرَاهُ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟١٧
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
كُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَجْمَعِهِمِ ٱضْطَجَعُوا بِٱلْكَرَامَةِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ.١٨
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ طُرِحْتَ مِنْ قَبْرِكَ كَغُصْنٍ أَشْنَعَ، كَلِبَاسِ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْمَضْرُوبِينَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، ٱلْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى حِجَارَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ، كَجُثَّةٍ مَدُوسَةٍ.١٩
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
لَا تَتَّحِدُ بِهِمْ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ لِأَنَّكَ أَخْرَبْتَ أَرْضَكَ، قَتَلْتَ شَعْبَكَ. لَا يُسَمَّى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ نَسْلُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ.٢٠
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
هَيِّئُوا لِبَنِيهِ قَتْلًا بِإِثْمِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَلَا يَقُومُوا وَلَا يَرِثُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُوا وَجْهَ ٱلْعَالَمِ مُدُنًا».٢١
22 For I will rise up against them, saith Yhwh of Armies, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith Yhwh.
«فَأَقُومُ عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. وَأَقْطَعُ مِنْ بَابِلَ ٱسْمًا وَبَقِيَّةً وَنَسْلًا وَذُرِّيَّةً، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٢
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Yhwh of Armies.
وَأَجْعَلُهَا مِيرَاثًا لِلْقُنْفُذِ، وَآجَامَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأُكَنِّسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».٢٣
24 Yhwh of Armies hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّهُ كَمَا قَصَدْتُ يَصِيرُ، وَكَمَا نَوَيْتُ يَثْبُتُ:٢٤
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
أَنْ أُحَطِّمَ أَشُّورَ فِي أَرْضِي وَأَدُوسَهُ عَلَى جِبَالِي، فَيَزُولَ عَنْهُمْ نِيرُهُ، وَيَزُولَ عَنْ كَتِفِهِمْ حِمْلُهُ».٢٥
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
هَذَا هُوَ ٱلقَضَاءُ ٱلْمَقْضِيُّ بِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْيَدُ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.٢٦
27 For Yhwh of Armies hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
فَإِنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ قَضَى، فَمَنْ يُبَطِّلُ؟ وَيَدُهُ هِيَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةُ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟٢٧
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ آحَازَ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْوَحْيُ:٢٨
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
لَا تَفْرَحِي يَا جَمِيعَ فِلِسْطِينَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَضِيبَ ٱلضَّارِبَكِ ٱنْكَسَرَ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَصْلِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ يَخْرُجُ أُفْعُوانٌ، وَثَمَرَتُهُ تَكُونُ ثُعْبَانًا مُسِمًّا طَيَّارًا.٢٩
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
وَتَرْعَى أَبْكَارُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَرْبِضُ ٱلْبَائِسُونَ بِٱلْأَمَانِ، وَأُمِيتُ أَصْلَكِ بِٱلْجُوعِ، فَيَقْتُلُ بَقِيَّتَكِ.٣٠
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
وَلْوِلْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَابُ. ٱصْرُخِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ. قَدْ ذَابَ جَمِيعُكِ يَا فِلِسْطِينُ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي دُخَانٌ، وَلَيْسَ شَاذٌّ فِي جُيُوشِهِ.٣١
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? that Yhwh hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
فَبِمَاذَا يُجَابُ رُسُلُ ٱلْأُمَمِ؟ إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَسَّسَ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا يَحْتَمِي بَائِسُو شَعْبِهِ.٣٢
