Isaiah 3

1 For lo! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, removing from Jerusalem and from Judah, The stay and staff, —The whole stay of bread, And the whole stay of water:

١ فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَنْزِعُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا ٱلسَّنَدَ وَٱلرُّكْنَ، كُلَّ سَنَدِ خُبْزٍ، وَكُلَّ سَنَدِ مَاءٍ.

2 Man of might and man of war, —Judge and prophet And diviner and elder;

٢ ٱلْجَبَّارَ وَرَجُلَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٱلْقَاضِيَ وَٱلنَّبِيَّ وَٱلْعَرَّافَ وَٱلشَّيْخَ.

3 Captain of fifty, and favourite; And counsellor and skilled artificer, And master of magical formulas;

٣ رَئِيسَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ وَٱلْمُعْتَبَرَ وَٱلْمُشِيرَ، وَٱلْمَاهِرَ بَيْنَ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ، وَٱلْحَاذِقَ بِٱلرُّقْيَةِ.

4 And I will appoint boys to be their princes, —And, petulant children, shall rule over them,

٤ وَأَجْعَلُ صُبْيَانًا رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ، وَأَطْفَالًا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

5 And the people will, tyrannise, Every man over his fellow-man, And every man over his friend, —And they will rage The boy against, the elder, And the despised, against, the honourable,

٥ وَيَظْلِمُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَٱلرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ. يَتَمَرَّدُ ٱلصَّبِيُّ عَلَى ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَٱلدَّنِيءُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِيفِ.

6 When a man shall lay hold, on his brother of the house of his father, [saying] —Clothing, hast thou, Become thou our, ruler, This downfall, be under thy hand,

٦ إِذَا أَمْسَكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِأَخِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ قَائِلًا: «لَكَ ثَوْبٌ فَتَكُونُ لَنَا رَئِيسًا، وَهَذَا ٱلْخَرَابُ تَحْتَ يَدِكَ»

7 He will swear, in that day, saying—I will take no control, When in mine own house, is neither food nor clothing, —Ye must not set me for a ruler of people!

٧ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «لَا أَكُونُ عَاصِبًا وَفِي بَيْتِي لَا خُبْزَ وَلَا ثَوْبَ. لَا تَجْعَلُونِي رَئِيسَ ٱلشَّعْبِ».

8 For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and, Judah, hath fallen, —Because, their tongue and their doings, are against Yahweh, Provoking his glorious presence,

٨ لِأَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَثَرَتْ، وَيَهُوذَا سَقَطَتْ، لِأَنَّ لِسَانَهُمَا وَأَفْعَالَهُمَا ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَةِ عَيْنَيْ مَجْدِهِ.

9 The show of their face, hath answered against them, And their sin—like Sodom, have they told, they have not concealed it. Alas for their souls! For they have requited to themselves, calamity.

٩ نَظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ بِخَطِيَّتِهِمْ كَسَدُومَ. لَا يُخْفُونَهَا. وَيْلٌ لِنُفُوسِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ شَرًّا.

10 Say ye to the righteous It is well! For the fruit of their doings, shall they eat:

١٠ قُولُوا لِلصِّدِّيقِ خَيْرٌ! لِأَنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ ثَمَرَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ.

11 Alas! for the lawless, it is ill, For what his own hand hath matured, shall be done to him.

١١ وَيْلٌ لِلشِّرِّيرِ. شَرٌّ! لِأَنَّ مُجَازَاةَ يَدَيْهِ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ.

12 My people! children, are their tyrants, And, women, rule over them, —My people! they who should lead thee forward, are causing thee to stray, Thy pathways, have they destroyed,

١٢ شَعْبِي ظَالِمُوهُ أَوْلَادٌ، وَنِسَاءٌ يَتَسَلَّطْنَ عَلَيْهِ. يَا شَعْبِي، مُرْشِدُوكَ مُضِلُّونَ، وَيَبْلَعُونَ طَرِيقَ مَسَالِكِكَ.

13 Yahweh hath taken his station to plead, —And is standing to judge peoples:

١٣ قَدِ ٱنْتَصَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْمُخَاصَمَةِ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ لِدَيْنُونَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

14 Yahweh, into judgment, will enter, With the elders of his people And their princes, —But ye, have consumed the vineyard, That which hath been robbed from the oppressed, is in your houses.

١٤ اَلرَّبُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مَعَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَكَلْتُمُ ٱلْكَرْمَ. سَلَبُ ٱلْبَائِسِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ.

15 What right have ye to crush my people, And the faces of the oppressed, to grind? Demandeth My Lord Yahweh of hosts—And Yahweh saith—

١٥ مَا لَكُمْ تَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبِي، وَتَطْحَنُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

16 Because haughty are the daughters of Zion, And they walk with neck thrown back, and wanton eyes, —Tripping along as they go, And with their feet, making, a tinkling sound,

١٦ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَتَشَامَخْنَ، وَيَمْشِينَ مَمْدُودَاتِ ٱلْأَعْنَاقِ، وَغَامِزَاتٍ بِعُيُونِهِنَّ، وَخَاطِرَاتٍ فِي مَشْيِهِنَّ، وَيُخَشْخِشْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ،

17 Therefore will My Lord, smite with leprosy the crown of hair of the daughters of Zion, —And, as for Yahweh, their shame, will he lay bare!

١٧ يُصْلِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ هَامَةَ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُعَرِّي ٱلرَّبُّ عَوْرَتَهُنَّ.

18 In that day, will My Lord remove the finery—of the anklets, and the little suns and the little moons;

١٨ يَنْزِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ زِينَةَ ٱلْخَلَاخِيلِ وَٱلضَّفَائِرِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ،

19 the pendants and the bracelets and the veils;

١٩ وَٱلْحَلَقِ وَٱلْأَسَاوِرِ وَٱلْبَرَاقِعِ

20 the chaplets and the armlets and the girdles, and the scent-cases, and the amulets;

٢٠ وَٱلْعَصَائِبِ وَٱلسَّلَاسِلِ وَٱلْمَنَاطِقِ وَحَنَاجِرِ ٱلشَّمَّامَاتِ وَٱلْأَحْرَازِ،

21 the rings and the nose-jewels;

٢١ وَٱلْخَوَاتِمِ وَخَزَائِمِ ٱلْأَنْفِ،

22 the robes, and the over-tunics, and the cloaks and the purses;

٢٢ وَٱلثِّيَابِ ٱلْمُزَخْرَفَةِ وَٱلْعُطْفِ وَٱلْأَرْدِيَةِ وَٱلْأَكْيَاسِ،

23 and the mirrors and the linen wraps, and the tiaras and the cloaks.

٢٣ وَٱلْمَرَائِي وَٱلْقُمْصَانِ وَٱلْعَمَائِمِ وَٱلْأُزُرِ.

24 And it shall come to pass—That instead of fragrance, a putrid odour, shall be, And instead of a girdle, an encircling rope, And instead of braided hair, baldness, And instead of a festal robe, a girding of sackcloth, Branding instead of beauty:

٢٤ فَيَكُونُ عِوَضَ ٱلطِّيبِ عُفُونَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْمِنْطَقَةِ حَبْلٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَدَائِلِ قَرْعَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلدِّيبَاجِ زُنَّارُ مِسْحٍ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَمَالِ كَيٌّ!

25 Thy males, by the sword shall fall, —And, thy mighty men, by the war;

٢٥ رِجَالُكِ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَبْطَالُكِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

26 And her gates shall mourn and lament, —And forsaken, on the ground, shall she sit.

٢٦ فَتَئِنُّ وَتَنُوحُ أَبْوَابُهَا، وَهِيَ فَارِغَةً تَجْلِسُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.
