Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek the LORD.
| وَيْلٌ لِلْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى مِصْرَ طَلَباً لِلْعَوْنِ، الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، الْوَاثِقِينَ بِكَثْرَةِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَبِبَأْسِ الْفُرْسَانِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَوْ يَطْلُبُوا مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against those who help evildoers.
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ حَكِيمٌ يَجْلِبُ الشَّرَّ، وَلا يَنْقُضُ كَلامَهُ بَلْ سَيَهُبُّ لِيُعَاقِبَ بَيْتَ الأَشْرَارِ وَنَاصِري فَعَلَةِ الإِثْمِ. | ٢ |
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
| لَيْسَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ آلِهَةً بَلْ بَشَراً، وَخُيُولُهُمْ مُجَرَّدُ أَجْسَادٍ وَلَيْسَتْ أَرْوَاحاً، وَعِنْدَمَا يَمُدُّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ، يَتَعَثَّرُ الْمُعِينُ وَيَسْقُطُ الْمُسْتَعِينُ، وَيَهْلِكَانِ كِلاهُمَا مَعاً. | ٣ |
4 For thus says the LORD to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so the LORD of hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
| لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: «كَمَا يُزَمْجِرُ الأَسَدُ أَوِ الشِّبْلُ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَخْشَى مِنْ صَرَخَاتِ جَمَاعَةِ الرُّعَاةِ الْمُتَأَلِّبِينَ عَلَيْهِ، أَوْ يَفْزَعَ مِنْ جَلَبَتِهِمْ، هَكَذَا يُقْبِلُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ لِيُحَارِبَ عَنْ جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. | ٤ |
5 As birds hovering, so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."
| وَيَرِفُّ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِحِمَايَتِهَا كَالطُّيُورِ الْحَائِمَةِ فَوْقَ أَعْشَاشِهَا، فَيَحْمِي وَيُنْقِذُ وَيَعْفُو وَيُخَلِّصُ. | ٥ |
6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
| ارْجِعُوا أَيُّهَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ إِلَى مَنْ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَشَدَّ التَّمَرُّدِ، | ٦ |
7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
| لأَنَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْبِذُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَصْنَامَهُ الْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَوْثَانَهُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا بِيَدِهِ الْخَاطِئَةِ. | ٧ |
8 "The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of humankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
| وَيُصْرَعُ الأَشُورِيُّونَ وَيُلْتَهَمُونَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفِ بَشَرٍ، وَيَفِرُّونَ مِنْ أَمَامِ السَّيْفِ، وَيُسَاقُ فِتْيَانُهُمْ إِلَى الأَعْمَالِ الشَّاقَّةِ، | ٨ |
9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his officers will be afraid of the banner," says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
| وَتَفْنَى صُخُورُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ، وَيُوَلِّي قَادَتُهُمُ الأَدْبَارَ عِنْدَمَا يَرَوْنَ عَلَمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي نَارُهُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَتَنُّورُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٩ |
