Isaiah 30

1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says the LORD, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

١ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «وَيْلٌ لِلْبَنِينَ الْمُتَمَرِّدينَ الَّذِينَ يَنْصَاعُونَ لِمَشُورَةٍ لَمْ تَصْدُرْ عَنِّي، وَيُبْرِمُونَ عَهْداً لَيْسَ مِنْ رُوحِي، لِيُضِيفُوا خَطِيئَةً إِلَى خَطِيئَةٍ.

2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.

٢ الَّذِينَ يَتَأَهَّبُونَ لِلِانْحِدَارِ إِلَى مِصْرَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَلْجَأُوا إِلَى مَشُورَتِي، لِيَلُوذُوا بِحِمَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَيَعْتَصِمُوا بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ،

3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

٣ لِذَلِكَ يَصِيرُ لَكُمْ حِصْنُ فِرْعَوْنَ عَاراً، وَالاحْتِمَاءُ بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ خِزْياً،

4 For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.

٤ وَمَعَ أَنَّ سُلْطَانَهُ امْتَدَّ إِلَى صُوعَنَ وَحَانِيسَ حَتَّى أَقَامَ فِيهَا لِنَفْسِهِ وُلاةً وَمُمَثَّلِينَ

5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."

٥ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُلْحِقُونَ بِكُمُ العَارَ وَيَجْلِبُونَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْخِزْيَ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ».

6 The oracle of the animals of the Negev. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.

٦ نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ وُحُوشِ النَّقَبِ: عَبْرَ أَرْضِ العَنَاءِ وَالأَهْوَالِ حَيْثُ تَعِيشُ الأُسُودُ وَالأَفَاعِي، تَحْمِلُ قَوَافِلُهُمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ عَلَى ظُهُورِ حَمِيرِهِمْ، وَكُنُوزَهُمْ عَلَى أَسْنِمَةِ جِمَالِهِمْ إِلَى مِصْرَ الَّتِي لَا رَجَاءَ فِيهَا.

7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still.

٧ لأَنَّ عَوْنَ مِصْرَ بَاطِلٌ لَا طَائِلَ مِنْهُ، لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْتَهَا «التِّنِّينَ الْعَاصِي».

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

٨ وَالآنَ، امْضِ وَدَوِّنْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى لَوْحٍ، وَسَجِّلْهُ فِي كِتَابٍ لِيَكُونَ شَاهِداً أَبَدِيًّا فِي الأَيَّامِ الآتِيَةِ.

9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of the LORD;

٩ لأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، أَبْنَاءٌ كَذَبَةٌ، يَأْبُونَ الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ،

10 who tell the seers, "Do not see for us," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.

١٠ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلأَنْبِياءِ: «لا تَتَنَبَّأُوا لَنَا بِمَا هُوَ حَقٌّ، بَلْ كَلِّمُونَا بِالْكَلامِ الْمُدَاهِنِ وَتَنَبَّأُوا بِالْمُخَادِعَاتِ.

11 Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."

١١ اعْدِلُوا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، حِيدُوا عَنِ السَّبِيلِ، وَكُفُّوا عَنْ مُجَابَهَتِنَا بِكَلامِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;

١٢ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لأَنَّكُمُ ازْدَرَيْتُمْ بهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ وَاتَّكَلْتُمْ عَلَى الْجَوْرِ وَالانْحِرَافِ وَاعْتَمَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمَا،

13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

١٣ لِذَلِكَ يُصْبِحُ هَذَا الذَّنْبُ لَكُمْ كَصَدْعٍ نَاتِئٍ فِي سُورٍ عَالٍ مُشْرِفٍ عَلَى الانّهِيَارِ الَّذِي يَحْدُثُ بَغْتَةً وَفِى لَحْظَةٍ

14 He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."

١٤ وَيَكُونُ انْهِيَارُهُ كَكَسْرِ إِنَاءِ خَزَّافٍ تَمَّ سَحْقُهُ بِقَسْوَةٍ، فَلَمْ تَبْقَ مِنْهُ شَقْفَةٌ لِالْتِقَاطِ نَارٍ مِنَ الْمَوْقِدِ أَوْ لِغَرْفِ مَاءٍ مِنَ الْجُبِّ.

15 For thus said the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,

١٥ لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ خَلاصَكُمْ مَرْهُونٌ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَالرُّكُونِ إِلَيَّ، وَقُوَّتَكُمْ فِي الطُّمَأْنِينَةِ وَالثِّقَةِ، لَكِنَّكُمْ أَبَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ،

16 but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses;" therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift;" therefore those who pursue you will be swift.

١٦ وَقُلْتُمْ: لَا بَلْ نَهْرُبُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، أَنْتُمْ حَقّاً تَهْرُبُونَ. وَقُلْتُمْ: سَنَرْكَبُ عَلَى مُتُونِ جِيَادٍ سَرِيعَةٍ، لِهَذَا فَإِنَّ مُطَارِدِيكُمْ يُسْرِعُونَ فِي تَعَقُّبِكُمْ.

17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.

١٧ يَهْرُبُ أَلْفٌ مِنْكُمْ أَمَامَ زَجْرَةِ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَتَشَتَّتُونَ جَمِيعاً أَمَامَ زَجْرَةِ خَمْسَةٍ، حَتَّى تُتْرَكُوا كَسَارِيَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ أَوْ كَرَايَةٍ عَلَى قِمَّةِ تَلٍّ».

18 Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

١٨ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَنْتَطِرُ حَتَّى يُبْدِيَ نَحْوَكُمْ عَطْفَهُ، لِهَذَا يَقُومُ لِيَرْحَمَكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ إِلَهُ عَدْلٍ، فَطُوبَى لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

19 For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

١٩ يَا شَعْبَ صِهْيَوْنَ الْمُقِيمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لَنْ تَبْكِيَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْحَمُكَ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ صَوْتِ بُكَائِكَ، وَحَالَمَا يَسْمَعُ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكَ.

20 Though the LORD may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your eyes will see your teachers;

٢٠ وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ يُعْطِيكَ خُبْزاً فِي الْمِحْنَةِ، وَمَاءً فِي الضَّنْكِ فَإِنَّ مُعَلِّمَكَ لَنْ يَحْجُبَ نَفْسَهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ بَعْدُ، بَلْ تَرَى عَيْنَاكَ مُعَلِّمَكَ.

21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."

٢١ وَتَسْمَعُ أُذْنَاكَ كَلِمَةً صَادِرَةً مِنْ خَلْفِكَ قَائِلَةً:

22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, "Go away."

٢٢ «هَذِهِ هِيَ الطَّرِيقُ لَا تَحِيدُوا عَنْهَا يَمِيناً أَوْ يَسَاراً اسْلُكُوا فِيهَا» وَتُدَنِّسُونَ كُلَّ أَصْنَامِكُمُ الْفِضِّيَّةِ وَالذَّهَبيَّةِ، وَتُلْقُونَ بِها بَعِيداً كَخِرْقَةٍ مُلَوَّثَةٍ بِدَمِ حَائِضٍ وَتَقُولُونَ لَهَا: «اذْهَبِي بِلا رَجْعَةٍ».

23 And he will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground; it will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

٢٣ وَيَسْكُبُ الرَّبُّ مَطَرَهُ عَلَى بُذُورِكَ الَّتِي تَزْرَعُهَا فِي الأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ الطَّعَامُ الَّذِي تُغِلُّهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ سَمِيناً دَسِماً، فَتَرْعَى مَوَاشِيكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فِي مَرَاعٍ فَسِيحَةٍ،

24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

٢٤ وَتَأْكُلُ ثِيرَانُكَ وَحَمِيرُكَ الَّتِي تَحْرُثُ الأَرْضَ عَلَفاً مُمَلَّحاً مُذَرّىً بِالرَّفْشِ وَالْمِذْرَاةِ.

25 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

٢٥ وَفِي يَوْمِ مَجْزَرَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، حِينَمَا تَنْهَارُ الأَبْرَاجُ، تَتَدَفَّقُ شَلّالاتُ مِيَاهٍ وَجَدَاوِلُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ وَتَلٍّ،

26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.

٢٦ وَيُصْبِحُ نُورُ الْقَمَرِ كَنُورِ الشَّمْسِ، وَيَتَضَاعَفُ نَورُ الشَّمْسِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ كَنُورِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فِي يَوْمٍ يَجْبُرُ الرَّبُّ فِيهِ كَسْرَ شَعْبِهِ وَيَشْفِي رُضُوضَ ضَرَبَاتِهِ.

27 Look, the name of the LORD comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.

٢٧ انْظُرُوا هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ بِغَضَبٍ مُتَوَهِّجٍ وَدُخَانٍ مُتَكَاثِفٍ مَتَصَاعِدٍ. شَفَتَاهُ تَفِيضَانِ سَخَطاً، وَلِسَانُهُ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ،

28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.

٢٨ وَنَفْخَتُهُ كَسَيْلٍ جَارِفٍ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى الْعُنُقِ، لِيُغَرْبِلَ الأُمَمَ بِغُرْبَالِ الْهَلاكِ، وَلِيَضَعَ لِجَاماً فِي فُكُوكِ الشُّعُوبِ إِضْلالاً لَهُمْ.

29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to the LORD's mountain, to Israel's Rock.

٢٩ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَشْدُونَ كَمَا فِي لَيْلَةِ الاحْتِفَالِ بِعيدٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، وَتَبْتَهِجُ قُلَوبُكُمْ كَقَلْبِ مَنْ يَسِيرُ عَلَى أَلْحَانِ نَايٍ، آتِياً إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ وَإِلَى صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

30 The LORD will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.

٣٠ وَيُسَمِّعُ الرَّبُّ جَلالَ صَوْتِهِ وَيَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ يُعَايِنُونَ امْتِدَادَ ذِرَاعِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ بِلَهِيبِ غَضَبٍ ثَائِرٍ وَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، وَانْفِجَارِ أَمْطَارٍ وَعَوَاصِفَ وَبَرَدٍ.

31 For through the voice of the LORD the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.

٣١ فَيَرْتَاعُ أَشُورُ مِنْ زَئِيرِ صَوْتِهِ، وَيَضْرِبُهُ بِقَضِيبِهِ.

32 And every stroke with his punishing club, which the LORD will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.

٣٢ وَيُوْقِعُ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ ضَرْبَةٍ عَلَيْهِ بِقَضِيبِ عِقَابِهِ عَلَى أَنْغَامِ الدُّفُوفِ وَالْعِيدَانِ، وَيُحَارِبُ أَشُّورَ بِحُرُوبٍ ثَائِرَةٍ.

33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is made ready. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. The LORD's breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

٣٣ لأَنَّ مُحْرَقَةَ الْمَوْتِ جَاهِزَةٌ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ وَحُفْرَتَهَا وَاسِعَةٌ، تَكَوَّمَتْ فِيهَا الأَخْشَابُ لِيُلْقَى فِيهَا مُولَكُ إِلَهُ الأَشُورِيِّينَ، فَتُضْرِمُهَا نَفْخَةُ الرَّبِّ كَسَيْلٍ مِنْ كِبْرِيتٍ.
