< Esias 32 >

1 For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgment.
هُوَذَا بِٱلْعَدْلِ يَمْلِكُ مَلِكٌ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ بِٱلْحَقِّ يَتَرَأَّسُونَ.١
2 And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.
وَيَكُونُ إِنْسَانٌ كَمَخْبَأٍ مِنَ ٱلرِّيحِ وَسِتَارَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْلِ، كَسَوَاقِي مَاءٍ فِي مَكَانٍ يَابِسٍ، كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ مُعْيِيَةٍ.٢
3 And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.
وَلَا تَحْسِرُ عُيُونُ ٱلنَّاظِرِينَ، وَآذَانُ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ تَصْغَى،٣
4 And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.
وَقُلُوبُ ٱلْمُتَسَرِّعِينَ تَفْهَمُ عِلْمًا، وَأَلْسِنَةُ ٱلْعَيِيِّينَ تُبَادِرُ إِلَى ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ فَصِيحًا.٤
5 And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and your servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.
وَلَا يُدْعَى ٱللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيمًا، وَلَا ٱلْمَاكِرُ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَبِيلٌ.٥
6 For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.
لِأَنَّ ٱللَّئِيمَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَعْمَلُ إِثْمًا لِيَصْنَعَ نِفَاقًا، وَيَتَكَلَّمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱفْتِرَاءٍ، وَيُفْرِغَ نَفْسَ ٱلْجَائِعِ وَيَقْطَعَ شِرْبَ ٱلْعَطْشَانِ.٦
7 For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.
وَٱلْمَاكِرُ آلَاتُهُ رَدِيئَةٌ. هُوَ يَتَآمَرُ بِٱلْخَبَائِثِ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ بِأَقْوَالِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، حَتَّى فِي تَكَلُّمِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ بِٱلْحَقِّ.٧
8 But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْكَرَائِمِ يَتَآمَرُ، وَهُوَ بِٱلْكَرَائِمِ يَقُومُ.٨
9 Rise up, you rich women, and hear my voice; you confident daughters, listen to my words.
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ، قُمْنَ ٱسْمَعْنَ صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَنَاتُ ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ، ٱصْغَيْنَ لِقَوْلِي.٩
10 Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off; it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.
أَيَّامًا عَلَى سَنَةٍ تَرْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَى ٱلْقِطَافُ. ٱلِٱجْتِنَاءُ لَا يَأْتِي.١٠
11 Be amazed, be pained, you confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;
اِرْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ. ٱرْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَتَنَطَّقْنَ عَلَى ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ١١
12 and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.
لَاطِمَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلثُّدِيِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحُقُولِ ٱلْمُشْتَهَاةِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْكَرْمَةِ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةِ.١٢
13 [As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.
عَلَى أَرْضِ شَعْبِي يَطْلَعُ شَوْكٌ وَحَسَكٌ حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْفَرَحِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجَةِ.١٣
14 [As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;
لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَصْرَ قَدْ هُدِمَ. جُمْهُورُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ تُرِكَ. ٱلْأَكَمَةُ وَٱلْبُرْجُ صَارَا مَغَايِرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، مَرَحًا لِحَمِيرِ ٱلْوَحْشِ، مَرْعًى لِلْقُطْعَانِ.١٤
15 until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.
إِلَى أَنْ يُسْكَبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ، فَتَصِيرَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ بُسْتَانًا، وَيُحْسَبَ ٱلْبُسْتَانُ وَعْرًا.١٥
16 Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.
فَيَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْحَقُّ، وَٱلْعَدْلُ فِي ٱلْبُسْتَانِ يُقِيمُ.١٦
17 And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever.
وَيَكُونُ صُنْعُ ٱلْعَدْلِ سَلَامًا، وَعَمَلُ ٱلْعَدْلِ سُكُونًا وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.١٧
18 And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.
وَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي مَسْكَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ وَفِي مَحَلَّاتٍ أَمِينَةٍ.١٨
19 And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.
وَيَنْزِلُ بَرَدٌ بِهُبُوطِ ٱلْوَعْرِ، وَإِلَى ٱلْحَضِيضِ تُوضَعُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ.١٩
20 Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلزَّارِعُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، ٱلْمُسَرِّحُونَ أَرْجُلَ ٱلثَّوْرِ وَٱلْحِمَارِ.٢٠
