Isaiah 18

1 Alas! O land of whirring of wings which [is] from [the] other side of [the] rivers of Cush.

١ وَيْلٌ لأَرْضِ حَفِيفِ الأَجْنِحَةِ فِي عَبْرِ أَنْهَارِ كُوشَ،

2 Which sends on the sea envoys and in vessels of papyrus on [the] surface of [the] waters go - O messengers swift to a nation tall and smooth skinned to a people feared from it and beyond a nation of strength of strength and trampling which they divide rivers land its.

٢ الَّتِي تَبْعَثُ رُسُلاً فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي قَوَارِبِ الْبَرْدِيِّ السَّابِحَةِ فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ، امْضُوا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ الْمُسْرِعُونَ إِلَى شَعْبٍ طِوَالِ الْقَامَةِ جُرْدٍ، إِلَى شَعْبٍ بَثَّ الرُّعْبَ فِي الْقَاصِي وَالدَّانِي، إِلَى قَوْمٍ أَقْوِيَاءَ وَقَاهِرِينَ تَشْطُرُ الأَنْهَارُ أَرْضَهُمْ.

3 O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world and [those who] dwell earth when lifts up a standard mountains you will see [it] and just as sounds a trumpet you will hear [it].

٣ يَا جَمِيعَ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا، عِنْدَمَا تَرْتَفِعُ رَايَةٌ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَانْظُرُوا، وَعِنْدَمَا يُدَوِّي نَفِيرُ بُوقٍ فَاسْمَعُوا.

4 For thus he said Yahweh to me (I will remain quiet *Q(k)*) and I will pay attention in place my like heat dazzling with light like a cloud of dew in [the] heat of harvest.

٤ لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: سَأَمْكُثُ هَادِئاً نَاظِراً مِنْ مَقَرِّ سُكْنَايَ، كَحَرٍّ صَافٍ تَحْتَ أَشِعَّةِ الشَّمْسِ أَوْ كَسَحَابِ الطَّلِّ فِي حَرِّ الْحَصَادِ

5 For before harvest when is finished bud[s] and unripe grape[s] ripening it will become blossom and he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives and the tendrils he will remove he will cut away.

٥ لأَنَّهُ قَبْلَ الْحَصَادِ عِنْدَمَا يَتِمُّ تَفَتُّحُ الزَّهْرِ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ الزَّهْرُ إِلَى عِنَبٍ نَاضِجٍ، فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ الْفُرُوعَ بِالْمَنَاجِلِ، وَيَنْزَعُ الأَغْصَانَ الْمُمْتَدَّةَ وَيَطْرَحُهَا،

6 They will be abandoned alike to bird[s] of prey of [the] mountains and to [the] animal[s] of the earth and it will pass [the] summer on it the bird[s] of prey and every animal of the earth on it it will pass [the] winter.

٦ وَتُتْرَكُ كُلُّهَا لِجَوَارِحِ الْجِبَالِ وَوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ، فَتَلْتَهِمُهَا الْجَوَارِحُ فِي الصَّيْفِ، وَتَتَغَذَّى بِها الْوُحُوشُ فِي الشِّتَاءِ».

7 At the time that it will be brought a gift to Yahweh of hosts a people tall and smooth skinned and from a people feared from it and beyond a nation of - strength of strength and trampling which they divide rivers land its to [the] place of [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [the] mountain of Zion.

٧ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ يُقَدِّمُ الشَّعْبُ الطَّوِيلُ الْقَامَةِ الأَجْرَدُ، الَّذِي بَثَّ الرُّعْبَ فِي الْقَاصِي وَالدَّانِي، الأُمَّةُ الْقَوِيَّةُ الْقَاهِرَةُ الَّتِي تَشْطُرُ الأَنْهَارُ أَرْضَهَا، هَدَايَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ، مَوْضِعِ اسْمِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ.
