< Isaiah 22 >

1 The doom of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the roofs?
وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا: فَمَا لَكِ أَنَّكِ صَعِدْتِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى ٱلسُّطُوحِ،١
2 O noiseful, tumultuous city, joyous town? thy slain ones are not slain with the sword, and not those that die in battle.
يَا مَلآنَةُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلَبَةِ، ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَجَّاجَةُ، ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْمُفْتَخِرَةُ؟ قَتْلَاكِ لَيْسَ هُمْ قَتْلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ وَلَا مَوْتَى ٱلْحَرْبِ.٢
3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are made prisoners by the bowmen: all that are found in thee are made prisoners together, who have run away from afar.
جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِكِ هَرَبُوا مَعًا. أُسِرُوا بِٱلْقِسِيِّ. كُلُّ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ بِكِ أُسِرُوا مَعًا. مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَرُّوا.٣
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; be not urgent to comfort me, because of the wasting of the daughter of my people.
لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: «ٱقْتَصِرُوا عَنِّي، فَأَبْكِي بِمَرَارَةٍ. لَا تُلِحُّوا بِتَعْزِيَتِي عَنْ خَرَابِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي».٤
5 For a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity hath the Lord Eternal of hosts in the valley of vision; walls are broken, and crying is heard against the mountain.
إِنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا يَوْمَ شَغبٍ وَدَوْسٍ وَٱرْتِبَاكٍ. نَقْبُ سُورٍ وَصُرَاخٌ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.٥
6 And 'Elam beareth the quiver, [cometh] with men in chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovereth the shield.
فَعِيلَامُ قَدْ حَمَلَتِ ٱلْجَعْبَةَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِ رِجَالٍ فُرْسَانٍ، وَقِيرُ قَدْ كَشَفَتِ ٱلْمِجَنَّ.٦
7 And it is so, that thy choicest valleys are full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array against the gate.
فَتَكُونُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْدِيَتِكِ مَلآنَةً مَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَٱلْفُرْسَانُ تَصْطَفُّ ٱصْطِفَافًا نَحْوَ ٱلْبَابِ.٧
8 And he laid open the covering of Judah; and thou didst look on that day toward the armor of the house of the forest.
وَيَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ يَهُوذَا، فَتَنْظُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى أَسْلِحَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.٨
9 And the breaches of the city of David have ye seen, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
وَرَأَيْتُمْ شُقُوقَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّهَا صَارَتْ كَثِيرَةً، وَجَمَعْتُمْ مِيَاهَ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلسُّفْلَى.٩
10 And the houses of Jerusalem have ye numbered, and ye have pulled down the houses to fortify the wall.
وَعَدَدْتُمْ بُيُوتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمْتُمُ ٱلْبُيُوتَ لِتَحْصِينِ ٱلسُّورِ.١٠
11 And a tank have ye made between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked at the Maker thereof, him that fashioned it in distant times have ye not regarded.
وَصَنَعْتُمْ خَنْدَقًا بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ لِمِيَاهِ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلْعَتِيقَةِ. لَكِنْ لَمْ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى صَانِعِهِ، وَلَمْ تَرَوْا مُصَوِّرَهُ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ.١١
12 And the Lord Eternal of hosts called on that day for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.
وَدَعَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى ٱلْبُكَاءِ وَٱلنَّوْحِ وَٱلْقَرَعَةِ وَٱلتَّنَطُّقِ بِٱلْمِسْحِ،١٢
13 And behold [there are] gladness and joy, slaying of oxen, and killing of sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we must die.”
فَهُوَذَا بَهْجَةٌ وَفَرَحٌ، ذَبْحُ بَقَرٍ وَنَحْرُ غَنَمٍ، أَكْلُ لَحْمٍ وَشُرْبُ خَمْرٍ! «لِنَأْكُلْ وَنَشْرَبْ، لِأَنَّنَا غَدًا نَمُوتُ».١٣
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the Lord of hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven unto you until ye die, said the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
فَأَعْلَنَ فِي أُذُنَيَّ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «لَا يُغْفَرَنَّ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ حَتَّى تَمُوتُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».١٤
15 Thus hath said the Lord, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is [superintendent] over the house;
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى هَذَا جَلِيسِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى شِبْنَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ:١٥
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn out for thyself here a sepulchre, [the man] that hath hewn out on high his sepulchre, that holloweth out in the rock a habitation for himself?
مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا؟ وَمَنْ لَكَ هَهُنَا حَتَّى نَقَرْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ هَهُنَا قَبْرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاقِرُ فِي ٱلْعُلُوِّ قَبْرَهُ، ٱلنَّاحِتُ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ مَسْكَنًا؟١٦
17 Behold, the Lord will thrust thee about with a mighty throw, O man! and will lay fast hold of thee;
هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَطْرَحُكَ طَرْحًا يَا رَجُلُ، وَيُغَطِّيكَ تَغْطِيَةً.١٧
18 He will roll thee up as a bundle, and [toss thee] like a ball into a country of ample space: there shalt thou die, and there shall [remain] the chariots of thy glory, thou disgrace of the house of thy lord.
يَلُفُّكَ لَفَّ لَفِيفَةٍ كَٱلْكُرَةِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةِ ٱلطَّرَفَيْنِ. هُنَاكَ تَمُوتُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَكُونُ مَرْكَبَاتُ مَجْدِكَ، يَا خِزْيَ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكَ.١٨
19 And I will cast thee out from thy station, and from thy post shall he pull thee down.
وَأَطْرُدُكَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِكَ، وَمِنْ مَقَامِكَ يَحُطُّكَ.١٩
20 And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will call my servant, for Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu.
«وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَدْعُو عَبْدِي أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ حِلْقِيَّا٢٠
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and thy girdle will I fasten around him, and thy government will I place into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
وَأُلْبِسُهُ ثَوْبَكَ، وَأَشُدُّهُ بِمِنْطَقَتِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ سُلْطَانَكَ فِي يَدِهِ، فَيَكُونُ أَبًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.٢١
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; so that he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
وَأَجْعَلُ مِفْتَاحَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، فَيَفْتَحُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُغْلِقُ، وَيُغْلِقُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْتَحُ.٢٢
23 And I will fasten him as a tent-nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a chair of honor to his father's house.
وَأُثَبِّتُهُ وَتَدًا فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ، وَيَكُونُ كُرْسِيَّ مَجْدٍ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيهِ.٢٣
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the shoots and offshoots, all the small vessels, from the vessels of basins, even to all the vessels of flagons.
وَيُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَجْدِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ، ٱلْفُرُوعَ وَٱلْقُضْبَانَ، كُلَّ آنِيَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ ٱلطُّسُوسِ إِلَى آنِيَةِ ٱلْقَنَّانِيِّ جَمِيعًا.٢٤
25 On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall be removed the nail that is fastened in the sure place, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that is upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord hath spoken it.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يَزُولُ ٱلْوَتَدُ ٱلْمُثْبَتُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ وَيُقْطَعُ وَيَسْقُطُ. وَيُبَادُ ٱلثِّقْلُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».٢٥
