Isaiah 3

1 For, behold, the Lord, Yhwh of Armies, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

١ فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَنْزِعُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا ٱلسَّنَدَ وَٱلرُّكْنَ، كُلَّ سَنَدِ خُبْزٍ، وَكُلَّ سَنَدِ مَاءٍ.

2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

٢ ٱلْجَبَّارَ وَرَجُلَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٱلْقَاضِيَ وَٱلنَّبِيَّ وَٱلْعَرَّافَ وَٱلشَّيْخَ.

3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

٣ رَئِيسَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ وَٱلْمُعْتَبَرَ وَٱلْمُشِيرَ، وَٱلْمَاهِرَ بَيْنَ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ، وَٱلْحَاذِقَ بِٱلرُّقْيَةِ.

4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

٤ وَأَجْعَلُ صُبْيَانًا رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ، وَأَطْفَالًا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

٥ وَيَظْلِمُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَٱلرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ. يَتَمَرَّدُ ٱلصَّبِيُّ عَلَى ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَٱلدَّنِيءُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِيفِ.

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

٦ إِذَا أَمْسَكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِأَخِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ قَائِلًا: «لَكَ ثَوْبٌ فَتَكُونُ لَنَا رَئِيسًا، وَهَذَا ٱلْخَرَابُ تَحْتَ يَدِكَ»

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.

٧ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «لَا أَكُونُ عَاصِبًا وَفِي بَيْتِي لَا خُبْزَ وَلَا ثَوْبَ. لَا تَجْعَلُونِي رَئِيسَ ٱلشَّعْبِ».

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against Yhwh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

٨ لِأَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَثَرَتْ، وَيَهُوذَا سَقَطَتْ، لِأَنَّ لِسَانَهُمَا وَأَفْعَالَهُمَا ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَةِ عَيْنَيْ مَجْدِهِ.

9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

٩ نَظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ بِخَطِيَّتِهِمْ كَسَدُومَ. لَا يُخْفُونَهَا. وَيْلٌ لِنُفُوسِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ شَرًّا.

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

١٠ قُولُوا لِلصِّدِّيقِ خَيْرٌ! لِأَنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ ثَمَرَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ.

11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

١١ وَيْلٌ لِلشِّرِّيرِ. شَرٌّ! لِأَنَّ مُجَازَاةَ يَدَيْهِ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

١٢ شَعْبِي ظَالِمُوهُ أَوْلَادٌ، وَنِسَاءٌ يَتَسَلَّطْنَ عَلَيْهِ. يَا شَعْبِي، مُرْشِدُوكَ مُضِلُّونَ، وَيَبْلَعُونَ طَرِيقَ مَسَالِكِكَ.

13 Yhwh standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

١٣ قَدِ ٱنْتَصَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْمُخَاصَمَةِ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ لِدَيْنُونَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

14 Yhwh will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

١٤ اَلرَّبُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مَعَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَكَلْتُمُ ٱلْكَرْمَ. سَلَبُ ٱلْبَائِسِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ.

15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord Yhwh of Armies.

١٥ مَا لَكُمْ تَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبِي، وَتَطْحَنُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

16 Moreover Yhwh saith, 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:

١٦ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَتَشَامَخْنَ، وَيَمْشِينَ مَمْدُودَاتِ ٱلْأَعْنَاقِ، وَغَامِزَاتٍ بِعُيُونِهِنَّ، وَخَاطِرَاتٍ فِي مَشْيِهِنَّ، وَيُخَشْخِشْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ،

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And Yhwh will discover their secret parts.

١٧ يُصْلِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ هَامَةَ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُعَرِّي ٱلرَّبُّ عَوْرَتَهُنَّ.

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,

١٨ يَنْزِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ زِينَةَ ٱلْخَلَاخِيلِ وَٱلضَّفَائِرِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ،

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

١٩ وَٱلْحَلَقِ وَٱلْأَسَاوِرِ وَٱلْبَرَاقِعِ

20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

٢٠ وَٱلْعَصَائِبِ وَٱلسَّلَاسِلِ وَٱلْمَنَاطِقِ وَحَنَاجِرِ ٱلشَّمَّامَاتِ وَٱلْأَحْرَازِ،

21 The rings, and nose jewels,

٢١ وَٱلْخَوَاتِمِ وَخَزَائِمِ ٱلْأَنْفِ،

22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

٢٢ وَٱلثِّيَابِ ٱلْمُزَخْرَفَةِ وَٱلْعُطْفِ وَٱلْأَرْدِيَةِ وَٱلْأَكْيَاسِ،

23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

٢٣ وَٱلْمَرَائِي وَٱلْقُمْصَانِ وَٱلْعَمَائِمِ وَٱلْأُزُرِ.

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.

٢٤ فَيَكُونُ عِوَضَ ٱلطِّيبِ عُفُونَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْمِنْطَقَةِ حَبْلٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَدَائِلِ قَرْعَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلدِّيبَاجِ زُنَّارُ مِسْحٍ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَمَالِ كَيٌّ!

25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

٢٥ رِجَالُكِ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَبْطَالُكِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

٢٦ فَتَئِنُّ وَتَنُوحُ أَبْوَابُهَا، وَهِيَ فَارِغَةً تَجْلِسُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.
