Isaiah 16

1 Send rams to the ruler of the land from Selah in the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.

١ أَرْسِلُوا خِرْفَانَ حَاكِمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ سَالِعَ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱبْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ.

2 As wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so the women of Moab are at the fords of the Arnon River.

٢ وَيَحْدُثُ أَنَّهُ كَطَائِرٍ تَائِهٍ، كَفِرَاخٍ مُنَفَّرَةٍ تَكُونُ بَنَاتُ مُوآبَ فِي مَعَابِرِ أَرْنُونَ.

3 “Give instruction, execute justice; provide some shade like night in the middle of the day; hide the fugitives; do not betray the fugitives.

٣ هَاتِي مَشُورَةً، ٱصْنَعِي إِنْصَافًا، ٱجْعَلِي ظِلَّكِ كَٱللَّيْلِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ، ٱسْتُرِي ٱلْمَطْرُودِينَ، لَا تُظْهِرِي ٱلْهَارِبِينَ.

4 Let them live among you, the refugees from Moab; be a hiding place for them from the destroyer.” For the oppression will stop, and destruction will cease, those who trample will disappear from the land.

٤ لِيَتَغَرَّبْ عِنْدَكِ مَطْرُودُو مُوآبَ. كُونِي سِتْرًا لَهُمْ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْمُخَرِّبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلظَّالِمَ يَبِيدُ، وَيَنْتَهِي ٱلْخَرَابُ، وَيَفْنَى عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلدَّائِسُونَ.

5 A throne will be established in covenant faithfulness; and one from David's tent will faithfully sit there. He will judge as he seeks justice and does righteousness.

٥ فَيُثَبَّتُ ٱلْكُرْسِيُّ بِٱلرَّحْمَةِ، وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ دَاوُدَ قَاضٍ، وَيَطْلُبُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيُبَادِرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ.

6 We have heard of Moab's pride, his arrogance, his boasting, and his anger. But his boastings are empty words.

٦ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِكِبْرِيَاءِ مُوآبَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرَةِ جِدًّا عَظَمَتِهَا وَكِبْرِيَائِهَا وَصَلَفِهَا بُطْلِ ٱفْتِخَارِهَا.

7 So Moab wails for Moab—they all wail! Mourn, you who are utterly destroyed, for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.

٧ لِذَلِكَ تُوَلْوِلُ مُوآبُ. عَلَى مُوآبَ كُلُّهَا يُوَلْوِلُ. تَئِنُّونَ عَلَى أُسُسِ قِيرَ حَارِسَةَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ مَضْرُوبَةٌ.

8 The fields of Heshbon have dried up as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled the choice vines that reached to Jazer and spread into the desert. Its shoots spread abroad; they went over to the sea.

٨ لِأَنَّ حُقُولَ حَشْبُونَ ذَبُلَتْ. كَرْمَةُ سِبْمَةَ كَسَّرَ أُمَرَاءُ ٱلْأُمَمِ أَفْضَلَهَا. وَصَلَتْ إِلَى يَعْزِيرَ. تَاهَتْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱمْتَدَّتْ أَغْصَانُهَا، عَبَرَتِ ٱلْبَحْرَ.

9 Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh. For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy.

٩ لِذَلِكَ أَبْكِي بُكَاءَ يَعْزِيرَ عَلَى كَرْمَةِ سِبْمَةَ. أُرْوِيكُمَا بِدُمُوعِي يَا حَشْبُونُ وَأَلْعَالَةُ، لِأَنَّهُ عَلَى قِطَافِكِ وَعَلَى حَصَادِكِ قَدْ وَقَعَتْ جَلَبَةٌ.

10 Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards. No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads.

١٠ وَٱنْتُزِعَ ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلِٱبْتِهَاجُ مِنَ ٱلْبُسْتَانِ، وَلَا يُغَنَّى فِي ٱلْكُرُومِ وَلَا يُتَرَنَّمُ، وَلَا يَدُوسُ دَائِسٌ خَمْرًا فِي ٱلْمَعَاصِرِ. أَبْطَلْتُ ٱلْهُتَافَ.

11 So my heart sighs like a harp for Moab, and my inward being for Kir Hareseth.

١١ لِذَلِكَ تَرِنُّ أَحْشَائِي كَعُودٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ مُوآبَ وَبَطْنِي مِنْ أَجْلِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ.

12 When Moab wears himself out on the high place and enters his temple to pray, his prayers will accomplish nothing.

١٢ وَيَكُونُ إِذَا ظَهَرَتْ، إِذَا تَعِبَتْ مُوآبُ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ وَدَخَلَتْ إِلَى مَقْدِسِهَا تُصَلِّي، أَنَّهَا لَا تَفُوزُ.

13 This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab previously.

١٣ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوآبَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ.

14 Again Yahweh speaks, “Within three years, the glory of Moab will disappear; in spite of his many people, the remnant will be very few and insignificant.”

١٤ وَٱلْآنَ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: «فِي ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي ٱلْأَجِيرِ يُهَانُ مَجْدُ مُوآبَ بِكُلِّ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، وَتَكُونُ ٱلْبَقِيَّةُ قَلِيلَةً صَغِيرَةً لَا كَبِيرَةً».
