< Isaiah 33 >

1 Woe to you, destroyer who has not been destroyed! Woe to the betrayer whom they have not betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they will betray you.
وَيْلٌ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الْمُدَمِّرُ الَّذِي لَمْ تُدَمَّرْ بَعْدُ، وَالنَّاهِبُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَنْهَبُوكَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ التَّدْمِيرِ تُدَمَّرُ، وَحِينَ تَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ النَّهْبِ يَنْهَبُونَكَ.١
2 Yahweh, be gracious to us; we wait for you; be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.
يَا رَبُّ ارْحَمْنَا. إِيَّاكَ انْتَظَرْنَا، كُنْ عَضُدَنَا فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَخَلاصَنَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْمِحْنَةِ.٢
3 At the loud noise the peoples flee; when you arise, the nations are scattered.
مِنْ صَوْتِ ضَجِيجِكَ هَرَبَتِ الشُّعُوبُ، وَمِنَ ارْتِفَاعِكَ تَبَدَّدَتِ الأُمَمُ،٣
4 Your spoil is gathered as the locusts gather; as locusts leap, men leap on it.
وَكَمَا يَلْتَهِمُ الْجَرَادُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، هَكَذَا يُجْمَعُ سَلَبُكُمْ، وَيَتَوَاثَبُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ كَتَوَاثُبِ الْجَنَادِبِ.٤
5 Yahweh is exalted. He lives in a high place. He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
الرَّبُّ مُتَعَظِّمٌ لأَنَّهُ سَاكِنٌ فِي الْعَلاءِ. يَمْلأُ صِهْيَوْنَ عَدْلاً وَحَقّاً.٥
6 He will be the stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of Yahweh is his treasure.
هُوَ ضَمَانُ أَزْمَانِكَ وَوَفْرَةُ خَلاصٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ كَنْزَهُ.٦
7 Look, their envoys cry in the streets; the diplomats hoping for peace weep bitterly.
هَا رُسُلُكُمْ يَنُوحُونَ خَارِجاً، وَمُمَثِّلُو السَّلامِ يَبْكُونَ بِمَرَارَةٍ.٧
8 The highways are deserted; there are no more travelers. Covenants are broken, witnesses are despised, and mankind is not respected.
أَقْفَرَتِ الطُّرُقُ وَخَلَتْ مِنْ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ، نَقَضَ الْعَهْدَ وَازْدَرَى شُهُودَهُ، وَلَمْ تَعُدْ لِلإِنْسَانِ قِيمَةٌ.٨
9 The land mourns and withers away; Lebanon is ashamed and withers away; Sharon is like a desert plain; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
نَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَذَوَتْ. خَجِلَ لُبْنَانُ وَذَبُلَ، وَصَارَ شَارُونُ كَالْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَنَفَضَ بَاشَانُ وَالْكَرْمَلُ عَنْهُمَا أَوْرَاقَهُمَا.٩
10 “Now will I arise,” says Yahweh; “now I will be lifted up; now I will be elevated.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «الآنَ أَقُومُ، الآنَ أَنْهَضُ وَأَتَعَظَّمُ،١٠
11 You conceive chaff, and you give birth to stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.
فَكُلُّ مَا بَذَلْتُمُوهُ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَيُّهَا الأَشُورِيُّونَ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ كَالْحَشِيْشِ وَالتِّبْنِ وَصَارَتْ أَنْفَاسُكُمْ نَاراً تَلْتَهِمُكُمْ.١١
12 The peoples will be burned to lime, as thornbushes are cut down and are burned.
وَتُصْبِحُ الشُّعُوبُ كَوَقُودِ الْكِلْسِ، كَأَشْوَاكٍ مُسْتَأْصَلَةٍ مُحْتَرِقَةٍ بِالنَّارِ».١٢
13 You who are far away, hear what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْبَعِيدُونَ مَا صَنَعْتُ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الْقَرِيبُونَ اعْرِفُوا قُوَّتِي.١٣
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can sojourn with a raging fire? Who among us can sojourn with everlasting burnings?
قَدِ ارْتَعَبَ الْخُطَاةُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَاسْتَوْلَتِ الرَّعْدَةُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ، فَهَتَفُوا: مَنْ مِنَّا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ؟ وَمَنْ مِنَّا يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فِي وَقَائِدَ أَبَدِيَّةٍ؟١٤
15 He who walks righteously and speaks honestly; who despises the gain of oppression, who shakes his hand so that it will not accept a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed, and who shuts his eyes from looking on evil—
السَّالِكُ فِي الْبِرِّ، وَالنَّاطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ، وَالنَّابِذُ رِبْحَ الظُّلْمِ، وَالنَّافِضُ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْضِ الرِّشْوَةِ، الصَّامُّ أُذُنَيْهِ عَنِ الاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى مُؤَامَرَاتِ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ، الْمُغْمِضُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ التَّأَمُّلِ فِي الشَّرِّ،١٥
16 this is the man who will dwell on the heights, his place of defense will be the fortress among the cliffs, his food will be given, and his water will be in steady supply.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْكُنُ فِي الْعَلاءِ، وَمَلْجَأُهُ مَعَاقِلُ الصُّخُورِ، يُؤَمَّنُ لَهُ خُبْزُهُ. وَيُكْفَلُ لَهُ مَاؤُهُ.١٦
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will see a land off in the distance.
سَتَشْهَدُ عَيْنَاكَ الْمَلِكَ فِي بَهَائِهِ، وَتُبْصِرُ أَرْضاً تَمْتَدُّ بَعِيداً.١٧
18 Your heart will recall the terror; where is the scribe, where is he who weighed the money? Where is he who counted the towers?
يَتَذَكَّرُ قَلْبُكَ أَزْمِنَةَ الرُّعْبِ فَتَتَسَاءَلُ: أَيْنَ الْكَاتِبُ الْحَاسِبُ؟ أَيْنَ جَابِي الْجِزْيَةِ؟ أَيْنَ مَنْ يُحْصِي الأَبْرَاجَ؟١٨
19 You will no longer see the defiant people, a people of a strange language that you do not understand.
لَنْ تَرَى الشَّعْبَ الشَّرِسَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ لُغَةً أَجْنَبِيَّةً لَا تَفْهَمُهَا.١٩
20 Look at Zion, the city of our feasts; your eyes will see Jerusalem as a quiet habitation, a tent that will not be removed, whose stakes will never be pulled up nor will any of its cords be broken.
التَفِتْ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ مَدِينَةِ أَعْيَادِنَا، فَتَكْتَحِلَ عَيْنَاكَ بِمَرْأَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَسْكَنِ الْمُطْمَئِنِّ وَالْخَيْمَةِ الثَّابِتَةِ الَّتِي لَا تُقْلَعُ أَوْتَادُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَلا تَنْقَطِعُ حِبَالُهَا٢٠
21 Instead, Yahweh in majesty will be with us, in a place of broad rivers and streams. No warship with oars will travel it, and no large ships will sail by.
هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ لَنَا بِجَلالِهِ مَكَانَ أَنْهَارٍ وَجَدَاوِلَ وَاسِعَةٍ لَا يَبْحُرُ فِيهَا قَارِبٌ ذُو مِجْدَافٍ، وَلا تَمْخُرُ فِيهَا سَفِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ،٢١
22 For Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh is our lawgiver, Yahweh is our king; he will save us.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ قَاضِينَا، الرَّبُّ هُوَ مُشْتَرِعُنَا، هُوَ مَلِكُنَا وَسَيُخَلِّصُنَا٢٢
23 Your riggings are slack; they cannot hold the mast in place; they cannot spread the sail; when the great spoil is divided, even the lame will drag off the spoil.
لَقَدِ اسْتَرْخَتْ حِبَالُ أَشْرِعَتِكَ، فَلا يُمْكِنُهَا شَدُّ قَاعِدَةِ السَّارِيَةِ أَوْ نَشْرُ الشِّرَاعِ، حِينَئِذٍ نَقْسِمُ الْغَنَائِمَ الْوَفِيرَةَ. حَتَّى الْعُرْجُ يَنْهَبُونَ السَّلَبَ.٢٣
24 The inhabitants will not say, “I am sick;” the people who live there will be forgiven for their iniquity.
لَنْ يَقُولَ مُقِيمٌ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ إِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ، وَيَنْزِعُ الرَّبُّ إِثْمَ الشَّعْبِ السَّاكِنِ فِيهَا.٢٤
