Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
| نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ بَابِلَ: كَمَا تَعْبُرُ الزَّوَابِعُ فِي النَّقَبِ، هَكَذَا يُقْبِلُ الْغَازِي مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ، مِنْ أَرْضِ الرُّعْبِ. | ١ |
2 A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
| لَقَدْ أُعْلِنَتْ لِي رُؤْيَا رَهِيبَةٌ: رَأَيْتُ النَّاهِبَ يَنْهَبُ، وَالْمُدَمِّرَ يُدَمِّرُ. فَاصْعَدِي يَا عِيلامُ، وَحَاصِرِي يَا مَادِي، لأَنَّنِي سَأُسْكِتُ كُلَّ الأَنِينِ الَّذِي سَبَّبَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
| لِذَلِكَ امْتَلَأَتْ حَقْوايَ أَلَماً، وَانْتَابَنِي مَخَاضٌ كَمَخَاضِ الْوَالِدَةِ. فَقَدْتُ الْوَعْيَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا سَمِعْتُ، وَذُهِلْتُ مِمَّا رَأَيْتُ | ٣ |
4 My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
| تَحَيَّرَ قَلْبِي، وَأَرْعَبَنِي الْفَزَعُ، فَتَحَوَّلَ لَيْلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَتُوقُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى رَعْدَةٍ. | ٤ |
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
| أَعَدُّوا مَائِدَةً وَفَرَشُوا السَّجَاجِيدَ، أَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، فَانْهَضُوا يَا أُمَرَاءُ، وَادْهِنُوا بِالزَّيْتِ تُرُوسَكُمْ. | ٥ |
6 For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
| لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: اذْهَبْ وَأَقِمْ رَقِيباً لِيُعْلِنَ مَا يَرَاهُ. | ٦ |
7 And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
| وَعِنْدَمَا يُشَاهِدُ رَاكِبِينَ فُرْسَاناً أَزْوَاجاً أَزْوَاجاً، أَوْ رَاكِبِينَ عَلَى حَمِيرٍ، وَرَاكِبِينَ عَلَى جِمَالٍ، فَلْيُصْغِ إِصْغَاءً شَدِيداً. | ٧ |
8 And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
| ثُمَّ هَتَفَ الرَّقِيبُ: هَا أَنَا أَقِفُ عَلَى بُرْجِ الْمُرَاقَبَةِ يَوْماً بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، وَأَقُوْمُ عَلَى الْمَحْرَسِ طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ. | ٨ |
9 And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
| فَهَا رَكْبٌ قَادِمٌ، فُرْسَانٌ أَزْوَاجٌ أَزْوَاجٌ. فَأَجَابَ: سَقَطَتْ سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ وَتَحَطَّمَتْ سَائِرُ أَصْنَامِهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٩ |
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
| آهِ يَا شَعْبِيَ الْمَطْحُونَ وَالْمُشَتَّتَ، لَقَدْ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ |
11 The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
| نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ أَدُومَ: هَتَفَ صَارِخٌ مِنْ سَعِيرَ: «يَا رَقِيبُ، مَاذَا بَقِيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ؟ أَمَا آنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ؟» | ١١ |
12 The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّقِيبُ: «أَشْرَقَ الصُّبْحُ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّيْلَ أَقْبَلَ مَعَهُ، فَإِنْ رَغِبْتُمْ فِي السُّؤَالِ فَاسْأَلُوا، ثُمَّ تَعَالَوْا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَى اللهِ». | ١٢ |
13 The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
| نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ شِبْهِ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ: سَتَبِيتِينَ فِي صَحَارِي بِلادِ الْعَرَبِ يَا قَوَافِلَ الدَّدَانِيِّينَ، | ١٣ |
14 Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
| فَاحْمِلَوا يَا أَهْلَ تَيْمَاءَ الْمَاءَ لِلْعَطْشَانِ، وَاسْتَقْبِلُوا الْهَارِبِينَ بِالْخُبْزِ، | ١٤ |
15 For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
| لأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ فَرُّوا مِنَ السَّيْفِ الْمَسْلُولِ، وَالْقَوْسِ الْمُتَوَتِّرِ، وَمِنْ وَطِيسِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ. | ١٥ |
16 For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
| لأَنَّهُ هَذَا مَا قَالَهُ لِي الرَّبُّ: فِي غُضُونِ سَنَةٍ مَمَاثِلَةٍ لِسَنَةِ الأَجِيرِ يَفْنَى كُلُّ مَجْدِ قِيدَارَ، | ١٦ |
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
| وَتَكُونُ بَقِيَّةُ الرُّمَاةِ، الأَبْطَالُ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ قِيدَارَ، قِلَّةً. لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ. | ١٧ |
