Isaiah 34

1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth of it

١ اقْتَرِبُوا أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ لِلاسْتِمَاعِ، أَصْغُوا أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ. لِتَسْمَعِ الأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا، الْمَسْكُونَةُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا،

2 For the LORD hath indignation against all the nations, and fury against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

٢ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَاخِطٌ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ، وَغَضَبُهُ مُنْصَبٌّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَجْنَادِهِمْ. قَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْفَنَاءِ، وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ،

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stink of their carcases shall come up, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

٣ فَتُطْرَحُ قَتْلاهُمْ وَيَنْتَشِرُ نَتْنُ جِيَفِهِمْ فِي الْفَضَاءِ، وَتَفِيضُ الْجِبَالُ بِدِمَائِهِمْ،

4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading [leaf] from the fig tree.

٤ وَتَنْحَلُّ كُلُّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ، وَتُطْوَى السَّمَاوَاتُ كَدَرْجٍ، وَتَتَسَاقَطُ كُلُّ نُجُومِهَا كَتَسَاقُطِ أَوْرَاقِ الْكَرْمَةِ أَوْ حَبَّاتِ التِّينِ الْمُتَغَضِّنَةِ.

5 For my sword hath drunk its fill in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

٥ لأَنَّ سَيْفِي قَدْ تَشَرَّبَ بِالسَّخَطِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهَا هُوَ يَنْزِلُ لِيُعَاقِبَ أَدُومَ، وَيَنْتَقِمَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي قَضَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالفَنَاءِ.

6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

٦ لِلرَّبِّ سَيْفٌ مُشْبَعٌ بِالدَّمِ، مَطْلِيٌّ بِالشَّحْمِ، بِدَمِ حُمْلانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ، وَبِشَحْمِ كُلَى كِبَاشٍ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ذَبِيحَةً فِي بُصْرَةَ، وَمَذْبَحَةً فِي أَدُومَ.

7 And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

٧ وَيَسْقُطُ مَعَهُمُ الْبَقَرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ، وَالْعُجُولُ وَالثِّيرَانُ الْقَوِيَّةُ، فَتَتَشَبَّعُ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالدِّمَاءِ، وَيُخْصِبُ تُرَابُهُمْ بِالشَّحْمِ،

8 For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, the year of recompence in the controversy of Zion.

٨ لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ يَوْمَ انْتِقَامٍ، سَنَةَ ثَأْرٍ لِدَعْوَى صِهْيَوْنَ،

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

٩ فَتَنْقَلِبُ أَنْهَارُ أَدُومَ إِلَى زِفْتٍ، وَتُرَابُهُمْ إِلَى كِبْرِيتٍ، وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُهَا قَاراً مُشْتَعِلاً.

10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

١٠ فَلا تَنْطَفِئُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، وَيُحَلِّقُ دُخَانُهَا إِلَى الْفَضَاءِ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ، وَتَظَلُّ خَرَاباً جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ، فَلا يَعْبُرُ بِها أَحَدٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ،

11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he shall stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.

١١ وَلا يَرِثُهَا سِوَى الصُّقُورِ وَالْقَنَافِذِ، وَيَسْكُنُ فِيهَا الْبُومُ وَالْغُرَابُ، وَيَمُدُّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهَا خَيْطَ الدَّمَارِ وَمِطْمَارَ الْهَلاكِ،

12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all her princes shall be nothing.

١٢ وَلا يَجِدُ فِيهَا أَشْرَافُهَا أَثَراً لِلْمَلِكِ، وَيَنْقَرِضُ جَميِعُ رُؤَسَائِهَا.

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

١٣ يَنْمُو الشَّوْكُ فِي قُصُورِهَا، وَيَزْحَفُ الْعَوْسَجُ عَلَى حُصُونِهَا، فَتُصْبِحُ مَأْوىً لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَمَسْكِناً لِلنَّعَامِ.

14 And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest.

١٤ وَتَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْوُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ مَعَ الذِّئَابِ، وَوَعْلُ الْبَرِّ يَدْعُو صَاحِبَهُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَسْتَقِرُّ وُحُوشُ اللَّيْلِ وَتَجِدُ لِنَفْسِهَا مَلاذَ رَاحَةٍ.

15 There shall the arrowsnake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: yea, there shall the kites be gathered, every one with her mate.

١٥ هُنَاكَ تَعِيشُ الْبُومُ وَتَبِيضُ وَتُفْرِخُ وَتَرْعَى صِغَارَهَا تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا، وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً تَتَلاقَى الصُّقُورُ بَعْضُهَا بِبَعْضٍ.

16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

١٦ ابْحَثُوا فِي سِفْرِ الرَّبِّ وَاقْرَأُوا: فَكَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَسْقُطَ، إِذْ كُلُّ أَلِيفٍ سَيَجْتَمِعُ بِأَلِيفِهِ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ أَمَرَ، وَرُوحَهُ يَجْمَعُهَا مَعاً.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

١٧ فَهُوَ قَدْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا الْقُرْعَةَ، وَيَدُهُ قَدْ وَزَّعَتْهَا بِقِسْطَاسٍ، فَتَرِثُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَتُقِيمُ فِيهَا جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.
