Isaiah 17
1 The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.
| نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ دِمَشْقَ: «انْظُرُوا هَا دِمَشْقُ تَنْقَرِضُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْمُدُنِ وَتُصْبِحُ كَوْمَةَ أَنْقَاضٍ. | ١ |
2 Forsaken are the cities of 'Aro'er: they shall be [given up] to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
| تُهْجَرُ مُدُنُ عَرُوعِيرَ، وَتُصْبِحُ مَرَاعِيَ لِلْقُطْعَانِ، تَرْبِضُ فِيهَا وَلا أَحَدَ يُخِيفُهَا | ٢ |
3 And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.
| تَزُولُ الْمَدِينَةُ الْمُحَصَّنَةُ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَالْمُلْكُ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ، وَتُصْبِحُ بَقِيَّةُ أَرَامَ مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَجْدِ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الزَّائِلِ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٣ |
4 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَخْبُو مَجْدُ يَعْقُوبَ وَتَذُوبُ سَمَانَةُ بَدَنِهِ، | ٤ |
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
| فَتُصْبِحُ جَرْدَاءَ كَحَقْلٍ جَمَعَ الْحَصَّادُونَ زَرْعَهُ، أَوْ حَصَدَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ السَّنَابِلَ، أَوْ كَرَجُلٍ يَلْتَقِطُ السَّنَابِلَ فِي وَادِي رَفَايِمَ. | ٥ |
6 And there shall be left on it gleaning-fruit, as one shaketh an olive-tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ تَبْقَى فِيهِ خُصَاصَةٌ، كَزَيْتُونَةٍ نُفِضَتْ حَبَّاتُهَا، فَتَسَاقَطَتْ إِلّا حَبَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثاً ظَلَّتْ فِي رَأْسِ أَعْلَى غُصْنٍ، أَوْ أَرْبَعَ أَوْ خَمْسَ حَبَّاتٍ فِي الأَفْنَانِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٦ |
7 On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward the Holy One of Israel.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَرْنُو النَّاسُ إِلَى صَانِعِهِمْ وَيَلْتَفِتُونَ بِعُيُونِهِمْ إِلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٧ |
8 And he shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and the sun-images.
| وَلا يَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى الْمَذَابِحِ الَّتِي صَنَعَتْهَا أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَلا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى تَمَاثِيلِ السَّوَارِي وَالشُّمُوسِ، وَلا إِلَى مَذَابِحِ الْبَخُورِ صَنْعَةِ أَصَابِعِهِمْ. | ٨ |
9 On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountain-peak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be desolate.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تُصْبِحُ مُدُنُهُمُ الْمَنِيعَةُ مُقْفِرَةً كَمُدُنِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّتيِ هَجَرُوهَا هَرَباً مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ فَأَصْبَحَتْ خَرَاباً. | ٩ |
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.
| لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ نَسِيتُمْ إِلَهَ خَلاصِكُمْ، وَلَمْ تَذْكُرُوا صَخْرَةَ عِزِّكُمْ. لِذَلِكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَ غَرْساً مُبْهِجاً وَتَغْرِسُونَ زَرْعاً غَرِيباً، | ١٠ |
11 [Already] on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَ تَغْرِسُونَهُ تُنَمُّونَهُ، وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ عِنْدَمَا تَزْرَعُونَهُ تَجْعَلُونَهُ يُزْهِرُ، فَإِنَّ الْحَصِيدَ لَا يَكُونُ مُنْتِجاً فِي يَوْمِ الضَّرْبَةِ الْمُهْلِكَةِ الَّتِي لَا بُرْءَ مِنْهَا. | ١١ |
12 Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters!
| يَالَجَلَبَةِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ يَضِجُّونَ كَبَحْرٍ عَجَّاجٍ! يَالَصَخَبِ الأُمَمِ! فَإِنَّهُمْ يَصْخَبُونَ كَعَجِيجِ لُجَجٍ غَامِرَةٍ. | ١٢ |
13 The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest.
| أُمَمٌ تَهْدِرُ كَهَدِيرِ الْمِيَاهِ، وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا يَزْجُرُهَا الرَّبُّ تَهْرُبُ بَعِيداً، وَتَتَطَايَرُ كَمَا تَتَطَايَرُ عُصَافَةُ الْجِبَالِ أَمَامَ الرِّيحِ، أَوْ كَالْهَبَاءِ أَمَامَ الْعَاصِفَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.
| فِي الْمَسَاءِ يَطْغَى عَلَيْهِمْ رُعْبٌ، وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ يَتَلاشَوْنَ. هَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ نَاهِبِينَا وَحَظُّ سَالِبِينَا. | ١٤ |
