Isaiah 9
1 However, those in Judah who have been distressed/worried will not [continue to] suffer. Previously, Yahweh humbled [the people in] the land [where the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali [live]. But in the future he will honor [the people who live in] that Galilee region, along the road between the Jordan [River] and the [Mediterranean] Sea, where [many] foreigners live.
| لیکن برای او که در تنگی می‌بود، تاریکی نخواهد شد. در زمان پیشین زمین زبولون وزمین نفتالی را ذلیل ساخت، اما در زمان آخر آن را به راه دریا به آن طرف اردن در جلیل امت هامحترم خواهد گردانید. | ۱ |
2 [Some day, it will be as though] [MET] the people who walked in darkness will see a great light. A [great] light will shine on those who live in a land where they have great troubles/distress.
| قومی که در تاریکی سالک می‌بودند، نور عظیمی خواهند دید و بر ساکنان زمین سایه موت نور ساطع خواهد شد. | ۲ |
3 [Yahweh], you will cause us people in Israel to rejoice; we will become very happy. We will rejoice about what you [have done] like [SIM] people rejoice when they harvest their crops, [or] like soldiers rejoice when they divide up among themselves the things that they have captured in a battle.
| تو قوم را بسیار ساخته، شادی ایشان را زیادگردانیدی. به حضور تو شادی خواهند کرد مثل شادمانی وقت درو و مانند کسانی که در تقسیم نمودن غنیمت وجد می‌نمایند. | ۳ |
4 You will cause us to no longer be slaves [MET] [of those who captured us]; you will lift the heavy burdens from our shoulders. [It will be as though] you will break the rods of those who oppressed us, like you did when you destroyed [the army of] the Midian people-group.
| زیرا که یوغ باراو را و عصای گردنش یعنی عصای جفا کننده وی را شکستی چنانکه در روز مدیان کردی. | ۴ |
5 The boots that the enemy soldiers have worn and their clothing which has stains of blood on them will all be burned up; they will only be fuel for a [big] fire.
| زیرا همه اسلحه مسلحان در غوغا است ورخوت ایشان به خون آغشته است اما برای سوختن و هیزم آتش خواهند بود. | ۵ |
6 Another reason that we will rejoice is that a [special] child will be born for us; [a woman will give birth to] a son, who will be our ruler. And his names will be ‘Wonderful Counselor’, ‘Mighty/Powerful God’, ‘[Our] Everlasting Father’, and ‘Prince/Ruler [who enables us to have] Peace’.
| زیرا که برای ما ولدی زاییده و پسری به ما بخشیده شد وسلطنت بر دوش او خواهد بود و اسم او عجیب ومشیر و خدای قدیر و پدر سرمدی و سرورسلامتی خوانده خواهد شد. | ۶ |
7 His rule, and the peace that he [brings/causes], will never end. He will rule [MTY] fairly and justly [DOU], like [his ancestor King] David did. This will happen because the Commander of the armies of angels greatly desires that it happen.
| ترقی سلطنت وسلامتی او را بر کرسی داود و بر مملکت وی انتهانخواهد بود تا آن را به انصاف و عدالت از الان تاابدالاباد ثابت و استوار نماید. غیرت یهوه صبایوت این را بجا خواهد آورد. | ۷ |
8 The Lord has warned the people of Israel, the descendants of Jacob; he has said that [he will punish] them.
| خداوند کلامی نزد یعقوب فرستاد و آن براسرائیل واقع گردید. | ۸ |
9 And all the people in Samaria and [other places in] Israel know that, [but] they are very proud and arrogant [DOU]. They say, “Our city has been destroyed, but we will [take away the broken bricks from the ruins] [and] replace them with carefully cut stones. Our sycamore-fig trees have been cut down [by our enemies], but we will plant cedar trees [in their place].”
| و تمامی قوم خواهنددانست یعنی افرایم و ساکنان سامره که از غرور وتکبر دل خود می‌گویند. | ۹ |
| خشتها افتاده است امابا سنگهای تراشیده بنا خواهیم نمود؛ چوبهای افراغ در هم شکست اما سرو آزاد بجای آنهامی گذاریم. | ۱۰ |
11 But Yahweh brought the armies of [Assyria], the enemies of King Rezin [of Syria, to fight] against Israel and incited [other] nations [to attack Israel].
| بنابراین خداوند دشمنان رصین رابضد او خواهد برافراشت و خصمان او را خواهدبرانگیخت. | ۱۱ |
12 [The army of] Syria [came] from the east, and [the army of] Philistia [came] from the west, and they destroyed Israel [like a wild animal tears another animal apart and] [MET] devours it. But even after that happened, Yahweh was still very angry with them. He was ready to strike them with his fist again.
| ارامیان را از مشرق و فلسطینیان رااز مغرب و ایشان اسرائیل را با دهان گشوده خواهند خورد. اما با این همه خشم او برگردانیده نشده و دست او هنوز دراز است. | ۱۲ |
13 [But even though] Yahweh punished his people [like that], they [still] did not return to him [and worship him]. They [still] did not request the Commander of the armies of angels [to assist them].
| و این قوم بسوی زننده خودشان بازگشت ننموده و یهوه صبایوت را نطلبیده‌اند. | ۱۳ |
14 Therefore, in one day Yahweh will get rid of [those who are like] Israel’s head and [those who are like] its tail; the [ones who are like] the top of the palm tree and the [ones who are like] the bottom.
| بنابراین خداوند سر ودم و نخل و نی را از اسرائیل در یک روز خواهدبرید. | ۱۴ |
15 The leaders [DOU] of Israel are the head, and the prophets who tell lies are the tail.
| مرد پیر و مرد شریف سر است و نبی‌ای که تعلیم دروغ می‌دهد، دم می‌باشد. | ۱۵ |
16 The leaders of the people have misled them; they have caused the people that they are ruling to be confused.
| زیرا که هادیان این قوم ایشان را گمراه می‌کنند و پیروان ایشان بلعیده می‌شوند. | ۱۶ |
17 For that reason, Yahweh is not pleased with the young men [of Israel], and he does not [even] act mercifully toward the widows and orphans, because they are all ungodly and wicked, and they all say things that are foolish. [But] Yahweh still is angry with them; he is ready to strike them with his fist again.
| از این سبب خداوند از جوانان ایشان مسرور نخواهد شد و بر یتیمان و بیوه‌زنان ایشان ترحم نخواهد نمود. چونکه جمیع ایشان منافق وشریرند و هر دهانی به حماقت متکلم می‌شود بااینهمه غضب او برگردانیده نشده و دست او هنوزدراز است. | ۱۷ |
18 When people do wicked things, it is like [SIM] a brushfire [that spreads rapidly]. It burns up [not only] briers and thorns; it starts a big fire in the forests from which clouds of smoke will rise.
| زیرا که شرارت مثل آتش می‌سوزاند و خار و خس را می‌خورد، و دربوته های جنگل افروخته شده، دود غلیظ پیچان می‌شود. | ۱۸ |
19 [It is as though] the [whole] land is burned [black] because the Commander of the armies of angels is extremely angry with the Israeli people. They will become like [SIM] fuel for that great fire, and no one will try to rescue even his [own] brother [from that fire].
| از غضب یهوه صبایوت زمین سوخته شده است و قوم هیزم آتش گشته‌اند و کسی بربرادر خود شفقت ندارد. | ۱۹ |
20 Israeli people will attack their neighbors on the right [to get food from them], but they will still be hungry. They will [kill those who live in houses] on the left and eat their flesh, but their stomachs will still not be full.
| از جانب راست می‌ربایند و گرسنه می‌مانند و از طرف چپ می‌خورند و سیر نمی شوند و هرکس گوشت بازوی خود را می‌خورد. | ۲۰ |
21 [People of the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim will attack each other, and [then] they will both attack the people of Judah. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with them. He will be ready to strike them with his fist again.
| منسی افرایم را وافرایم منسی را و هر دوی ایشان بضد یهودا متحدمی شوند. با اینهمه غضب او برگردانیده نشده ودست او هنوز دراز است. | ۲۱ |
