< Isaiah 10 >

1 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَقْضُونَ أَقْضِيَةَ ٱلْبُطْلِ، وَلِلْكَتَبَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَجِّلُونَ جَوْرًا١
2 to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey.
لِيَصُدُّوا ٱلضُّعَفَاءَ عَنِ ٱلْحُكْمِ، وَيَسْلُبُوا حَقَّ بَائِسِي شَعْبِي، لِتَكُونَ ٱلْأَرَامِلُ غَنِيمَتَهُمْ وَيَنْهَبُوا ٱلْأَيْتَامَ.٢
3 What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth,
وَمَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْعِقَابِ، حِينَ تَأْتِي ٱلتَّهْلُكَةُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ؟ إِلَى مَنْ تَهْرُبُونَ لِلْمَعُونَةِ، وَأَيْنَ تَتْرُكُونَ مَجْدَكُمْ؟٣
4 so as not to kneel with the prisoners, or fall among the slain? For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
إِمَّا يَجْثُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَسْرَى، وَإِمَّا يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ ٱلْقَتْلَى. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ!٤
5 Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation.
«وَيْلٌ لِأَشُّورَ قَضِيبِ غَضَبِي، وَٱلْعَصَا فِي يَدِهِمْ هِيَ سَخَطِي.٥
6 I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
عَلَى أُمَّةٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ أُرْسِلُهُ، وَعَلَى شَعْبِ سَخَطِي أُوصِيهِ، لِيَغْتَنِمَ غَنِيمَةً وَيَنْهَبَ نَهْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَهُمْ مَدُوسِينَ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ.٦
7 However he doesn't mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
أَمَّا هُوَ فَلَا يَفْتَكِرُ هَكَذَا، وَلَا يَحْسِبُ قَلْبُهُ هَكَذَا. بَلْ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يُبِيدَ وَيَقْرِضَ أُمَمًا لَيْسَتْ بِقَلِيلَةٍ.٧
8 For he says, "Aren't all of my officials kings?
فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: أَلَيْسَتْ رُؤَسَائِي جَمِيعًا مُلُوكًا؟٨
9 Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't Samaria like Damascus?
أَلَيْسَتْ كَلْنُو مِثْلَ كَرْكَمِيشَ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ حَمَاةُ مِثْلَ أَرْفَادَ؟ أَلَيْسَتِ ٱلسَّامِرَةُ مِثْلَ دِمَشْقَ؟٩
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
كَمَا أَصَابَتْ يَدِي مَمَالِكَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، وَأَصْنَامُهَا ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةُ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّتِي لِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِلسَّامِرَةِ،١٠
11 shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
أَفَلَيْسَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ بِٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَبِأَوْثَانِهَا أَصْنَعُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَصْنَامِهَا؟».١١
12 Therefore it will happen that, when YHWH has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his haughty looks.
فَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَكْمَلَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ كُلَّ عَمَلِهِ بِجَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَبِأُورُشَلِيمَ، أَنِّي أُعَاقِبُ ثَمَرَ عَظَمَةِ قَلْبِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَفَخْرَ رِفْعَةِ عَيْنَيْهِ.١٢
13 For he has said, "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «بِقُدْرَةِ يَدِي صَنَعْتُ، وَبِحِكْمَتِي. لِأَنِّي فَهِيمٌ. وَنَقَلْتُ تُخُومَ شُعُوبٍ، وَنَهَبْتُ ذَخَائِرَهُمْ، وَحَطَطْتُ ٱلْمُلُوكَ كَبَطَلٍ.١٣
14 My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped."
فَأَصَابَتْ يَدِي ثَرْوَةَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كَعُشٍّ، وَكَمَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْضٌ مَهْجُورٌ، جَمَعْتُ أَنَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُرَفْرِفُ جَنَاحٍ وَلَا فَاتِحُ فَمٍ وَلَا مُصَفْصِفٌ».١٤
15 Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
هَلْ تَفْتَخِرُ ٱلْفَأْسُ عَلَى ٱلْقَاطِعِ بِهَا، أَوْ يَتَكَبَّرُ ٱلْمِنْشَارُ عَلَى مُرَدِّدِهِ؟ كَأَنَّ ٱلْقَضِيبَ يُحَرِّكُ رَافِعَهُ! كَأَنَّ ٱلْعَصَا تَرْفَعُ مَنْ لَيْسَ هُوَ عُودًا!١٥
16 Therefore YHWH of hosts will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
لِذَلِكَ يُرْسِلُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ، سَيِّدُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، عَلَى سِمَانِهِ هُزَالًا، وَيُوقِدُ تَحْتَ مَجْدِهِ وَقِيدًا كَوَقِيدِ ٱلنَّارِ.١٦
17 The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
وَيَصِيرُ نُورُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَارًا وَقُدُّوسُهُ لَهِيبًا، فَيُحْرِقُ وَيَأْكُلُ حَسَكَهُ وَشَوْكَهُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ،١٧
18 He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
وَيُفْنِي مَجْدَ وَعْرِهِ وَبُسْتَانِهِ، ٱلنَّفْسَ وَٱلْجَسَدَ جَمِيعًا. فَيَكُونُ كَذَوَبَانِ ٱلْمَرِيضِ.١٨
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أَشْجَارِ وَعْرِهِ تَكُونُ قَلِيلَةً حَتَّى يَكْتُبَهَا صَبِيٌّ.١٩
20 It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on YHWH, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلنَّاجِينَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ لَا يَعُودُونَ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ أَيْضًا عَلَى ضَارِبِهِمْ، بَلْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحَقِّ.٢٠
21 A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
تَرْجِعُ ٱلْبَقِيَّةُ، بَقِيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ، إِلَى ٱللهِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ.٢١
22 For though your people, Israel, are as the sand of the sea, a remnant will be kept safe. For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness;
لِأَنَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَعْبُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ تَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْهُ. قَدْ قُضِيَ بِفَنَاءٍ فَائِضٍ بِٱلْعَدْلِ.٢٢
23 because YHWH will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth.
لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَصْنَعُ فَنَاءً وَقَضَاءً فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.٢٣
24 Therefore YHWH of hosts says: "My people who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
وَلَكِنْ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ أَشُّورَ يَا شَعْبِي ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ. يَضْرِبُكَ بِٱلْقَضِيبِ، وَيَرْفَعُ عَصَاهُ عَلَيْكَ عَلَى أُسْلُوبِ مِصْرَ.٢٤
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction."
لِأَنَّهُ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ جِدًّا يَتِمُّ ٱلسَّخَطُ وَغَضَبِي فِي إِبَادَتِهِمْ».٢٥
26 YHWH of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
وَيُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ سَوْطًا، كَضَرْبَةِ مِدْيَانَ عِنْدَ صَخْرَةِ غُرَابَ، وَعَصَاهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَيَرْفَعُهَا عَلَى أُسْلُوبِ مِصْرَ.٢٦
27 It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ حِمْلَهُ يَزُولُ عَنْ كَتِفِكَ، وَنِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ، وَيَتْلَفُ ٱلنِّيرُ بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّمَانَةِ.٢٧
28 He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى عَيَّاثَ. عَبَرَ بِمِجْرُونَ. وَضَعَ فِي مِخْمَاشَ أَمْتِعَتَهُ.٢٨
29 He went through the pass. He has lodged at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
عَبَرُوا ٱلْمَعْبَرَ. بَاتُوا فِي جَبَعَ. ٱرْتَعَدَتِ ٱلرَّامَةُ. هَرَبَتْ جِبْعَةُ شَاوُلَ.٢٩
30 Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim. Listen, Laishah. You poor Anathoth.
اِصْهِلِي بِصَوْتِكِ يَا بِنْتَ جَلِّيمَ. ٱسْمَعِي يَا لَيْشَةُ. مِسْكِينَةٌ هِيَ عَنَاثُوثُ.٣٠
31 Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
هَرَبَتْ مَدْمِينَةُ. ٱحْتَمَى سُكَّانُ جِيبِيمَ.٣١
32 This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
ٱلْيَوْمَ يَقِفُ فِي نُوبَ. يَهُزُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبَلِ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، أَكَمَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.٣٢
33 Look, the Lord, YHWH of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَقْضِبُ ٱلْأَغْصَانَ بِرُعْبٍ، وَٱلْمُرْتَفِعُو ٱلْقَامَةِ يُقْطَعُونَ، وَٱلْمُتَشَامِخُونَ يَنْخَفِضُونَ.٣٣
34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
وَيُقْطَعُ غَابُ ٱلْوَعْرِ بِٱلْحَدِيدِ، وَيَسْقُطُ لُبْنَانُ بِقَدِيرٍ.٣٤
