Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel. Ariel, the city where David camped. Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
| وَيْلٌ لأُورُشَلِيمَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اسْتَقَرَّ فِيهَا دَاوُدُ. هَا السَّنَوَاتُ تَتَعَاقَبُ وَأَنْتُمْ مَازِلْتُمْ تَحْتَفِلُونَ بِالأَعْيَادِ. | ١ |
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
| وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَاصِرُ أَورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَمْلَأُهَا الأَنِينُ وَالنَّوْحُ، فَتَكوُنُ فِي نَظَرِي كَمَذْبَحٍ مُلَطَّخٍ بِالدَّمِ. | ٢ |
3 And I will camp in a circle around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
| سَأَنْزِلُ عَلَيْكِ وَأُحِيطُ بِكِ وَأُحَاصِرُكِ بِأَبْرَاجٍ، وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْكِ الْمَتَارِيسَ. | ٣ |
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَنْخَفِضِينَ، وَتَتَكَلَّمِينَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَمِنَ التُّرَابِ تَصْدُرُ عَنْكِ تَمْتَمَةُ كَلامٍ، فَيَكُونُ صَوْتُكِ كَصَوْتِ خَيَالٍ صَادِرٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ كَلامُكَ هَامِساً مِنَ التُّرَابِ. | ٤ |
5 But the multitude of your arrogant will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
| وَلَكِنْ سَرْعَانَ مَا يَصِيرُ جُمْهُورُ أَعْدَائِكِ كَالْهَبَاءِ، وَجُمْهُورُ الْعُتَاةِ كَالْعُصَافَةِ الْعَابِرَةِ. ثُمَّ فَجْأَةً، وَفِي لَحْظَةٍ، | ٥ |
6 She will be visited by YHWH of hosts with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
| يَفْتَقِدُكِ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، فَيَأْتِي بِرَعْدٍ وَزِلْزَالٍ وَضَجِيجٍ عَظِيمٍ، مَعَ زَوْبَعَةٍ وَعَاصِفَةٍ وَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، | ٦ |
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
| وَتُصْبِحُ كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تُحَارِبُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتُحَاصِرُ حُصُونَهَا كَالْحُلْمِ أَوْ كَرُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ. | ٧ |
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and look, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and look, he drinks; but he awakes, and look, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
| وَكَمَا يَحْلُمُ الْجَائِعُ أَنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُشْبِعَ جُوعَهُ، وَكَمَا يَحْلُمُ الظَّامِئُ أَنَّهُ يَشْرَبُ ثُمَّ يَفِيقُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرْتَوِيَ عَطَشُهُ، هَكَذَا يَكُونُ جُمْهُورُ الأُمَمِ كُلِّهَا الْمُحَارِبِينَ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. | ٨ |
9 Pause and wonder. Blind yourselves and be blind. They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
| ابْهَتُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا. تَعَامَوْا وَاعْمَوْا. اسْكَرُوا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَمْرٍ. تَرَنَّحُوا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مُسْكِرٍ، | ٩ |
10 For YHWH has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and he has covered your heads (the seers).
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ سَكَبَ عَلَيْكُمْ رُوحَ سُبَاتٍ عَمِيقٍ، فَأَغْلَقَ عُيُونَ أَنْبِيائِكُمْ وَغَطَّى رُؤُوسَ رَائِيكُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't, for it is sealed:"
| وَصَارَتْ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا جَمِيعُهَا كَكَلِمَاتِ كِتَابٍ مَخْتُومٍ، حِينَ يُنَاوِلُونَهُ لِمَنْ يُتْقِنُ الْقِرَاءَةَ قَائِلِينَ: اقْرَأْ هَذَا، يُجِيبُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ لأَنَّهُ مَخْتُومٌ. | ١١ |
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."
| وَعِنْدَمَا يُنَاوِلُونَهُ لِمَنْ يَجْهَلُ الْقِرَاءَةَ قَائِلِينَ: اقْرَأْ هَذَا، يُجِيبُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الْقِرَاءَةَ. | ١٢ |
13 And YHWH said, "Because these people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.
| لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنِّي بِفَمِهِ وَيُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، بَيْنَمَا قَلْبُهُ بَعِيدٌ عَنَّى. وَمَا مَخَافَتُهُمْ مِنِّي سِوَى تَقْلِيدٍ تَلَقَّنُوهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ. | ١٣ |
14 Therefore, look, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
| لِذَلِكَ سَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، فَتَبِيدُ حِكْمَةُ حُكَمَائِهِ وَتَتَلاشَى فِطْنَةُ فُهَمَائِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from YHWH, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows us?"
| وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يُوْغِلُونَ فِي الأَعْمَاقِ لِيَكْتُمُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ مَشُورَتَهُمْ، فَيَقُومُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فِي الظَّلامِ قَائِلِينَ: مَنْ يَرَانَا؟ وَمَنْ يَعْرِفُنَا؟ | ١٥ |
16 You turn things upside down. Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He did not make me;" or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding?"
| يَالَتَحْرِيفِكُمْ! أَيُحْسَبُ الْخَزَّافُ كَالْخَزَفِ، فَيَقُولُ الشَّيءُ الْمَصْنُوعُ لِصَانِعِهِ: أَنْتَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْنِي؟ أَمْ أَنَّ الْمَجْبُولَ يَقُولُ لِجَابِلِهِ: أَنْتَ مُجَرَّدٌ مِنَ الْفَهْمِ؟ | ١٦ |
17 Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
| أَلا تَتَحَوَّلُ لُبْنَانُ فِي لَحْظَاتٍ إِلَى حَقْلٍ خَصِيبٍ، وَالْحَقْلُ الْخَصْبُ إِلَى غَابَةٍ؟ | ١٧ |
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَسْمَعُ الأَصَمُّ أَقْوَالَ الْكِتَابِ، وَتُبْصِرُ عُيُونُ الْمَكْفُوفِينَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الظُّلْمَةِ وَالْكَآبَةِ. | ١٨ |
19 The humble also will increase their joy in YHWH, and the poor among humankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
| أَمَّا الْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَتَجَدَّدُ فَرَحُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ الْبَائِسُونَ بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١٩ |
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off?
| لأَنَّ الْعَاتِيَ قَدِ انْقَرَضَ، وَبَادَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُ، وَاسْتُؤْصِلَ جَمِيعُ السَّاهِرِينَ لِارْتِكَابِ الإِثْمِ، | ٢٠ |
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
| الَّذِينَ بِكَلِمَةٍ جَعَلُوا الإِنْسَانَ يُخْطِئُ، وَنَصَبُوا فَخّاً لِمَنْ يُفْحِمُهُمْ فِي سَاحَةِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَصَدُّوا الْبَارَّ بِادِّعَاءَاتِهِمِ الْجَوْفَاءِ. | ٢١ |
22 Therefore thus says YHWH, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ مُفْتَدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ: لَنْ يَخْجَلَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، وَلَنْ يَعْلُوَ وَجْهَهُ الشُّحُوبُ، | ٢٢ |
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
| لأَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَمَا يَرَوْنَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ يَتَزَايَدُونَ بِفَضْلِي، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُقَدِّسُونَ اسْمِي، وَيُقَدِّسُونَ قُدُّوسَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَرْهَبُونَ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٣ |
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."
| وَيَكْتَسِبُ الضَّالُّونَ فَهْماً وَيَتَقَبَّلُ الْمُتَذَمِّرُونَ التَّعْلِيمَ. | ٢٤ |
