< Isaiah 14 >

1 For YHWH loves Jacob, And has fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And the sojourner has been joined to them, And they have been admitted 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 peoples have taken them, And have brought them to their place, And the house of Israel has inherited them, On the land of YHWH, For menservants and for maidservants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
وَيَأْخُذُهُمْ شُعُوبٌ وَيَأْتُونَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُهُمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً، وَيَسْبُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ وَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ظَالِمِيهِمْ.٢
3 And it has come to pass, In the day of YHWH’s giving rest to you, From your grief, and from your trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That has been served on you,
وَيَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ يُرِيحُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ تَعَبِكَ وَمِنِ ٱنْزِعَاجِكَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱسْتُعْبِدْتَ بِهَا،٣
4 That you have taken up this allegory Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, “How the exactor has ceased,
أَنَّكَ تَنْطِقُ بِهَذَا ٱلْهَجْوِ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتَقُولُ: «كَيْفَ بَادَ ٱلظَّالِمُ، بَادَتِ ٱلْمُغَطْرِسَةُ؟٤
5 The golden one has ceased. YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers.
قَدْ كَسَّرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَصَا ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، قَضِيبَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ.٥
6 He who is striking peoples in wrath, A striking without intermission, He who is ruling nations in anger, Pursuing without restraint!
ٱلضَّارِبُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ بِسَخَطٍ، ضَرْبَةً بِلَا فُتُورٍ. ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُ بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، بِٱضْطِهَادٍ بِلَا إمْسَاكٍ.٦
7 At rest—all the earth has been quiet, They have broken forth [into] singing.
اِسْتَرَاحَتِ، ٱطْمَأَنَّتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَتَفُوا تَرَنُّمًا.٧
8 Even firs have rejoiced over you, Cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you have lain down, The hewer does not come up against us.
حَتَّى ٱلسَّرْوُ يَفْرَحُ عَلَيْكَ، وَأَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ قَائِلًا: مُنْذُ ٱضْطَجَعْتَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ عَلَيْنَا قَاطِعٌ.٨
9 Sheol beneath has been troubled at you, To meet your coming in, It is waking up Rephaim for you, All chief ones of earth, It has raised up from their thrones All kings of 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 of them answer and say to you, Even you have become weak like us! You have become like to us!
كُلُّهُمْ يُجِيبُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ لَكَ: أَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَعُفْتَ نَظِيرَنَا وَصِرْتَ مِثْلَنَا؟١٠
11 Your excellence has been brought down to Sheol, The noise of your stringed instruments, The worm has been spread out under you, Indeed, the worm is covering you. (Sheol h7585)
أُهْبِطَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَخْرُكَ، رَنَّةُ أَعْوَادِكَ. تَحْتَكَ تُفْرَشُ ٱلرِّمَّةُ، وَغِطَاؤُكَ ٱلدُّودُ. (Sheol h7585)١١
12 How you have fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
كَيْفَ سَقَطْتِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يَا زُهَرَةُ، بِنْتَ ٱلصُّبْحِ؟ كَيْفَ قُطِعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَا قَاهِرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ؟١٢
13 And you said in your heart: I go up into the heavens, I raise my throne above the stars of God, And I sit on the mountain of meeting 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 go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
أَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلسَّحَابِ. أَصِيرُ مِثْلَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.١٤
15 Only—you are brought down to Sheol, To the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
لَكِنَّكَ ٱنْحَدَرْتَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، إِلَى أَسَافِلِ ٱلْجُبِّ. (Sheol h7585)١٥
16 Your beholders look to you, they attend to you, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
اَلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَكَ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ إِلَيْكَ، يَتَأَمَّلُونَ فِيكَ. أَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي زَلْزَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَزَعْزَعَ ٱلْمَمَالِكَ،١٦
17 He has made the world as a wilderness, And he has broken down his cities, He did not open the house of his bound ones.
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلْعَالَمَ كَقَفْرٍ، وَهَدَمَ مُدُنَهُ، ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُطْلِقْ أَسْرَاهُ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟١٧
18 All kings of nations—all of them, Have lain down in glory, each in his house,
كُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَجْمَعِهِمِ ٱضْطَجَعُوا بِٱلْكَرَامَةِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ.١٨
19 And you have been cast out of your grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down to the sons of the pit, As a carcass trodden down.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ طُرِحْتَ مِنْ قَبْرِكَ كَغُصْنٍ أَشْنَعَ، كَلِبَاسِ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْمَضْرُوبِينَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، ٱلْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى حِجَارَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ، كَجُثَّةٍ مَدُوسَةٍ.١٩
20 You are not united with them in burial, For you have destroyed your land, You have slain your people, The seed of evildoers is not named for all time.
لَا تَتَّحِدُ بِهِمْ فِي ٱلْقَبْرِ لِأَنَّكَ أَخْرَبْتَ أَرْضَكَ، قَتَلْتَ شَعْبَكَ. لَا يُسَمَّى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ نَسْلُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ.٢٠
21 Prepare slaughter for his sons; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They do not rise, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
هَيِّئُوا لِبَنِيهِ قَتْلًا بِإِثْمِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَلَا يَقُومُوا وَلَا يَرِثُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُوا وَجْهَ ٱلْعَالَمِ مُدُنًا».٢١
22 And I have risen up against them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor,” A declaration of YHWH.
«فَأَقُومُ عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. وَأَقْطَعُ مِنْ بَابِلَ ٱسْمًا وَبَقِيَّةً وَنَسْلًا وَذُرِّيَّةً، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٢
23 “And have made it for a possession of a hedgehog, And ponds of waters, And swept it with the broom of destruction,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
وَأَجْعَلُهَا مِيرَاثًا لِلْقُنْفُذِ، وَآجَامَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأُكَنِّسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».٢٣
24 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, “As I thought—so has it not been? And as I counseled—it stands;
قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّهُ كَمَا قَصَدْتُ يَصِيرُ، وَكَمَا نَوَيْتُ يَثْبُتُ:٢٤
25 To break Asshur in My land, And I tread him down on My mountain, And his yoke has turned from off them, Indeed, his burden turns aside from off their shoulder.
أَنْ أُحَطِّمَ أَشُّورَ فِي أَرْضِي وَأَدُوسَهُ عَلَى جِبَالِي، فَيَزُولَ عَنْهُمْ نِيرُهُ، وَيَزُولَ عَنْ كَتِفِهِمْ حِمْلُهُ».٢٥
26 This [is] the counsel that is counseled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.
هَذَا هُوَ ٱلقَضَاءُ ٱلْمَقْضِيُّ بِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْيَدُ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.٢٦
27 For YHWH of Hosts has purposed, And who makes void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who turns it back?”
فَإِنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ قَضَى، فَمَنْ يُبَطِّلُ؟ وَيَدُهُ هِيَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةُ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟٢٧
28 In the year of the death of King Ahaz was this burden:
فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ آحَازَ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْوَحْيُ:٢٨
29 “Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, That the rod of your striker has been broken, For from the root of a serpent comes out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying, burning 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 have delighted, And the needy lie down in confidence, And I have put to death your root with famine, And it slays your remnant.
وَتَرْعَى أَبْكَارُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَرْبِضُ ٱلْبَائِسُونَ بِٱلْأَمَانِ، وَأُمِيتُ أَصْلَكِ بِٱلْجُوعِ، فَيَقْتُلُ بَقِيَّتَكِ.٣٠
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, You are melted, Philistia, all of you, For smoke has come from the north, And there is none alone in his set places.”
وَلْوِلْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَابُ. ٱصْرُخِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ. قَدْ ذَابَ جَمِيعُكِ يَا فِلِسْطِينُ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي دُخَانٌ، وَلَيْسَ شَاذٌّ فِي جُيُوشِهِ.٣١
32 And what does one answer the messengers of a nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, And the poor of His people take refuge in it!
فَبِمَاذَا يُجَابُ رُسُلُ ٱلْأُمَمِ؟ إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَسَّسَ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا يَحْتَمِي بَائِسُو شَعْبِهِ.٣٢
