Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the festivals come round.
| وَيْلٌ لأُورُشَلِيمَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اسْتَقَرَّ فِيهَا دَاوُدُ. هَا السَّنَوَاتُ تَتَعَاقَبُ وَأَنْتُمْ مَازِلْتُمْ تَحْتَفِلُونَ بِالأَعْيَادِ. | ١ |
2 But I will besiege Ariel, and she will be mourning and lamenting; and she will be to me like Ariel.
| وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَاصِرُ أَورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَمْلَأُهَا الأَنِينُ وَالنَّوْحُ، فَتَكوُنُ فِي نَظَرِي كَمَذْبَحٍ مُلَطَّخٍ بِالدَّمِ. | ٢ |
3 I will encamp against you in a circle and will lay siege against you with a palisade, and I will raise siege works against you.
| سَأَنْزِلُ عَلَيْكِ وَأُحِيطُ بِكِ وَأُحَاصِرُكِ بِأَبْرَاجٍ، وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْكِ الْمَتَارِيسَ. | ٣ |
4 You will be brought down and will speak from the ground; your speech will be low from the dust. Your voice will sound like a spirit that speaks from the ground, and out of the dust your speech will whisper.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَنْخَفِضِينَ، وَتَتَكَلَّمِينَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَمِنَ التُّرَابِ تَصْدُرُ عَنْكِ تَمْتَمَةُ كَلامٍ، فَيَكُونُ صَوْتُكِ كَصَوْتِ خَيَالٍ صَادِرٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ كَلامُكَ هَامِساً مِنَ التُّرَابِ. | ٤ |
5 The great number of your invaders will become like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones as chaff that passes away. It will happen suddenly, in an instant.
| وَلَكِنْ سَرْعَانَ مَا يَصِيرُ جُمْهُورُ أَعْدَائِكِ كَالْهَبَاءِ، وَجُمْهُورُ الْعُتَاةِ كَالْعُصَافَةِ الْعَابِرَةِ. ثُمَّ فَجْأَةً، وَفِي لَحْظَةٍ، | ٥ |
6 Yahweh of hosts will come to you with thunder, earthquake, great noise, with strong winds and violent storm, and the flames of a devouring fire.
| يَفْتَقِدُكِ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، فَيَأْتِي بِرَعْدٍ وَزِلْزَالٍ وَضَجِيجٍ عَظِيمٍ، مَعَ زَوْبَعَةٍ وَعَاصِفَةٍ وَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، | ٦ |
7 It will be like a dream, a vision of the night: A horde of all the nations will fight against Ariel and her stronghold. They will attack her and her fortifications to press upon her.
| وَتُصْبِحُ كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تُحَارِبُ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتُحَاصِرُ حُصُونَهَا كَالْحُلْمِ أَوْ كَرُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ. | ٧ |
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams he is eating, but when he awakes, his stomach is empty. It will be like when a thirsty man dreams that he is drinking, but he when he awakes, he is fainting, with his thirst not quenched. Yes, so will be the great number of nations that fights against Mount Zion.
| وَكَمَا يَحْلُمُ الْجَائِعُ أَنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُشْبِعَ جُوعَهُ، وَكَمَا يَحْلُمُ الظَّامِئُ أَنَّهُ يَشْرَبُ ثُمَّ يَفِيقُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرْتَوِيَ عَطَشُهُ، هَكَذَا يَكُونُ جُمْهُورُ الأُمَمِ كُلِّهَا الْمُحَارِبِينَ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. | ٨ |
9 Astonish yourselves and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with beer.
| ابْهَتُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا. تَعَامَوْا وَاعْمَوْا. اسْكَرُوا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَمْرٍ. تَرَنَّحُوا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مُسْكِرٍ، | ٩ |
10 For Yahweh has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep. He has closed your eyes, the prophets, and has covered your heads, the seers.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ سَكَبَ عَلَيْكُمْ رُوحَ سُبَاتٍ عَمِيقٍ، فَأَغْلَقَ عُيُونَ أَنْبِيائِكُمْ وَغَطَّى رُؤُوسَ رَائِيكُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 All revelation has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men might give to one who is learned, saying, “Read this.” He also says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
| وَصَارَتْ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا جَمِيعُهَا كَكَلِمَاتِ كِتَابٍ مَخْتُومٍ، حِينَ يُنَاوِلُونَهُ لِمَنْ يُتْقِنُ الْقِرَاءَةَ قَائِلِينَ: اقْرَأْ هَذَا، يُجِيبُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ لأَنَّهُ مَخْتُومٌ. | ١١ |
12 If the book is given to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا يُنَاوِلُونَهُ لِمَنْ يَجْهَلُ الْقِرَاءَةَ قَائِلِينَ: اقْرَأْ هَذَا، يُجِيبُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الْقِرَاءَةَ. | ١٢ |
13 The Lord said, “This people comes close to me with their mouths and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Their honor for me is only a commandment of men that has been taught.
| لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنِّي بِفَمِهِ وَيُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، بَيْنَمَا قَلْبُهُ بَعِيدٌ عَنَّى. وَمَا مَخَافَتُهُمْ مِنِّي سِوَى تَقْلِيدٍ تَلَقَّنُوهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ. | ١٣ |
14 Therefore, see, I will proceed to do a marvelous thing among this people, wonder after wonder. The wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will disappear.”
| لِذَلِكَ سَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، فَتَبِيدُ حِكْمَةُ حُكَمَائِهِ وَتَتَلاشَى فِطْنَةُ فُهَمَائِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in darkness. They say, “Who sees us, and who knows us?”
| وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يُوْغِلُونَ فِي الأَعْمَاقِ لِيَكْتُمُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ مَشُورَتَهُمْ، فَيَقُومُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فِي الظَّلامِ قَائِلِينَ: مَنْ يَرَانَا؟ وَمَنْ يَعْرِفُنَا؟ | ١٥ |
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be considered like clay, so that the thing that is made should say about him who made it, “He did not make me,” or the thing formed say about him who formed it, “He does not understand”?
| يَالَتَحْرِيفِكُمْ! أَيُحْسَبُ الْخَزَّافُ كَالْخَزَفِ، فَيَقُولُ الشَّيءُ الْمَصْنُوعُ لِصَانِعِهِ: أَنْتَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْنِي؟ أَمْ أَنَّ الْمَجْبُولَ يَقُولُ لِجَابِلِهِ: أَنْتَ مُجَرَّدٌ مِنَ الْفَهْمِ؟ | ١٦ |
17 In just a little while, Lebanon will be turned into a field, and the field will become a forest.
| أَلا تَتَحَوَّلُ لُبْنَانُ فِي لَحْظَاتٍ إِلَى حَقْلٍ خَصِيبٍ، وَالْحَقْلُ الْخَصْبُ إِلَى غَابَةٍ؟ | ١٧ |
18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of the deep darkness.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَسْمَعُ الأَصَمُّ أَقْوَالَ الْكِتَابِ، وَتُبْصِرُ عُيُونُ الْمَكْفُوفِينَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الظُّلْمَةِ وَالْكَآبَةِ. | ١٨ |
19 The oppressed will again rejoice in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
| أَمَّا الْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَتَجَدَّدُ فَرَحُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ الْبَائِسُونَ بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١٩ |
20 For the ruthless will cease, and the scoffer will vanish. All those who love to do evil will be eliminated,
| لأَنَّ الْعَاتِيَ قَدِ انْقَرَضَ، وَبَادَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُ، وَاسْتُؤْصِلَ جَمِيعُ السَّاهِرِينَ لِارْتِكَابِ الإِثْمِ، | ٢٠ |
21 who by a word make a man out to be an offender. They lay a snare for him who seeks justice at the gate and put the righteous down with empty lies.
| الَّذِينَ بِكَلِمَةٍ جَعَلُوا الإِنْسَانَ يُخْطِئُ، وَنَصَبُوا فَخّاً لِمَنْ يُفْحِمُهُمْ فِي سَاحَةِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَصَدُّوا الْبَارَّ بِادِّعَاءَاتِهِمِ الْجَوْفَاءِ. | ٢١ |
22 Therefore this is what Yahweh says concerning the house of Jacob—Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, “Jacob will no longer be ashamed, nor will his face be pale.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ مُفْتَدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ: لَنْ يَخْجَلَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، وَلَنْ يَعْلُوَ وَجْهَهُ الشُّحُوبُ، | ٢٢ |
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, they will make my name holy. They will make holy the name of the Holy One of Jacob and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
| لأَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَمَا يَرَوْنَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ يَتَزَايَدُونَ بِفَضْلِي، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُقَدِّسُونَ اسْمِي، وَيُقَدِّسُونَ قُدُّوسَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَرْهَبُونَ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٣ |
24 Those who err in spirit will gain understanding, and complainers will learn knowledge.”
| وَيَكْتَسِبُ الضَّالُّونَ فَهْماً وَيَتَقَبَّلُ الْمُتَذَمِّرُونَ التَّعْلِيمَ. | ٢٤ |
