Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
| وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَابِلَ رَآهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ: | ١ |
2 Set up a banner on the bare mountain. Lift up your voice to them. Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
| أَقِيمُوا رَايَةً عَلَى جَبَلٍ أَقْرَعَ. ٱرْفَعُوا صَوْتًا إِلَيْهِمْ. أَشِيرُوا بِٱلْيَدِ لِيَدْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. | ٢ |
3 I have commanded my consecrated ones; I have also called my mighty men to carry out my anger, my proudly exulting ones.
| أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُ مُقَدَّسِيَّ، وَدَعَوْتُ أَبْطَالِي لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِي، مُفْتَخِرِي عَظَمَتِي. | ٣ |
4 The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together. YHWH of hosts is mustering the army for the battle.
| صَوْتُ جُمْهُورٍ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ شِبْهَ قَوْمٍ كَثِيرِينَ. صَوْتُ ضَجِيجِ مَمَالِكِ أُمَمٍ مُجْتَمِعَةٍ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَعْرُضُ جَيْشَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. | ٤ |
5 They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even YHWH, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
| يَأْتُونَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلرَّبُّ وَأَدَوَاتُ سَخَطِهِ لِيُخْرِبَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥ |
6 Wail; for the day of YHWH is at hand. It will come as destruction from Shaddai.
| وَلْوِلُوا لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ، قَادِمٌ كَخَرَابٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَادِرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ٦ |
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone's heart will melt.
| لِذَلِكَ تَرْتَخِي كُلُّ ٱلْأَيَادِي، وَيَذُوبُ كُلُّ قَلْبِ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٧ |
8 They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
| فَيَرْتَاعُونَ. تَأْخُذُهُمْ أَوْجَاعٌ وَمَخَاضٌ. يَتَلَوَّوْنَ كَوَالِدَةٍ. يَبْهَتُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ. وُجُوهُهُمْ وُجُوهُ لَهِيبٍ. | ٨ |
9 Look, the day of YHWH comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.
| هُوَذَا يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَادِمٌ، قَاسِيًا بِسَخَطٍ وَحُمُوِّ غَضَبٍ، لِيَجْعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرَابًا وَيُبِيدَ مِنْهَا خُطَاتَهَا. | ٩ |
10 For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
| فَإِنَّ نُجُومَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَجَبَابِرَتَهَا لَا تُبْرِزُ نُورَهَا. تُظْلِمُ ٱلشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِهَا، وَٱلْقَمَرُ لَا يَلْمَعُ بِضَوْئِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.
| وَأُعَاقِبُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ عَلَى شَرِّهَا، وَٱلْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُبَطِّلُ تَعَظُّمَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَأَضَعُ تَجَبُّرَ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. | ١١ |
12 I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.
| وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَعَزَّ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْإِبْرِيزِ، وَٱلْإِنْسَانَ أَعَزَّ مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ. | ١٢ |
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the wrath of YHWH of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
| لِذَلِكَ أُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ مَكَانِهَا فِي سَخَطِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ وَفِي يَوْمِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
| وَيَكُونُونَ كَظَبْيٍ طَرِيدٍ، وَكَغَنَمٍ بِلَا مَنْ يَجْمَعُهَا. يَلْتَفِتُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَيَهْرُبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
| كُلُّ مَنْ وُجِدَ يُطْعَنُ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ ٱنْحَاشَ يَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٥ |
16 Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.
| وَتُحَطَّمُ أَطْفَالُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، وَتُنْهَبُ بُيُوتُهُمْ وَتُفْضَحُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ. | ١٦ |
17 Look, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.
| هَأَنَذَا أُهَيِّجُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمَادِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْتَدُّونَ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَلَا يُسَرُّونَ بِٱلذَّهَبِ، | ١٧ |
18 Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.
| فَتُحَطِّمُ ٱلْقِسِيُّ ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، ولَا يَرْحَمُونَ ثَمَرَةَ ٱلْبَطْنِ. لَا تُشْفِقُ عُيُونُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْأَوْلَادِ. | ١٨ |
19 Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
| وَتَصِيرُ بَابِلُ، بَهَاءُ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ وَزِينَةُ فَخْرِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ، كَتَقْلِيبِ ٱللهِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ. | ١٩ |
20 It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
| لَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، وَلَا يُخَيِّمُ هُنَاكَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، وَلَا يُرْبِضُ هُنَاكَ رُعَاةٌ، | ٢٠ |
21 But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there.
| بَلْ تَرْبُضُ هُنَاكَ وُحُوشُ ٱلْقَفْرِ، وَيَمْلَأُ ٱلْبُومُ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَتَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ بَنَاتُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، وَتَرْقُصُ هُنَاكَ مَعْزُ ٱلْوَحْشِ، | ٢١ |
22 Wolves will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
| وَتَصِيحُ بَنَاتُ آوَى فِي قُصُورِهِمْ، وَٱلذِّئَابُ فِي هَيَاكِلِ ٱلتَّنَعُّمِ، وَوَقْتُهَا قَرِيبُ ٱلْمَجِيءِ وَأَيَّامُهَا لَا تَطُولُ. | ٢٢ |
