Isaiah 9
1 The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish. In an earlier time he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the later time he will make it glorious, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
| وَلَكِنْ لَنْ يُخَيِّمَ ظَلامٌ عَلَى الَّتِي تُعَانِي مِنَ الضِّيقِ، فَكَمَا أَذَلَّ اللهُ فِي الزَّمَنِ الْغَابِرِ أَرْضَ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي، فَإِنَّهُ فِي الزَّمَنِ الأَخِيرِ يُكْرِمُ طَرِيقَ الْبَحْرِ وَعَبْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ، جَلِيلَ الأُمَمِ. | ١ |
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who have lived in the land of the shadow of death, the light has shone on them.
| الشَّعْبُ السَّالِكُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ أَبْصَرَ نُوراً عَظِيماً، وَالْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ أَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ نُورٌ. | ٢ |
3 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased their joy. They rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
| كَثَّرْتَ الأُمَّةَ وَزِدْتَهَا فَرَحاً، ابْتَهَجُوا فِي حَضْرَتِكَ كَمَا يَبْتَهِجُونَ فِي أَوَانِ الْحَصَادِ وَكَمَا يَبْتَهِجُ الَّذِينَ يَتَقَاسَمُونَ الْغَنَائِمَ. | ٣ |
4 For the yoke of his burden, the beam across his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have shattered as on the day of Midian.
| لأَنَّكَ قَدْ حَطَّمْتَ، كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ مِدْيَانَ، نِيرَ ثِقْلِهِ وَعَصَا كَتِفِهِ وَقَضِيبَ مُسَخِّرِهِ. | ٤ |
5 For every boot treading in the tumult and the garments rolled in blood will be burned, fuel for the fire.
| إِذْ كُلُّ سِلاحِ الْمُتَسَلِّحِ فِي الْوَغَى، وَكُلُّ رِدَاءٍ مُلَطَّخٍ بِالدِّمَاءِ، يُطْرَحُ وَقُوداً لِلنَّارِ وَيُحْرَقُ. | ٥ |
6 For to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given; and the rule will be on his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
| لأَنَّهُ يُوْلَدُ لَنَا وَلَدٌ وَيُعْطَى لَنَا ابْنٌ يَحْمِلُ الرِّيَاسَةَ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، وَيُدْعَى اسْمُهُ عَجِيباً، مُشِيراً، إِلَهاً قَدِيراً، أَباً أَبَدِيًّا، رَئِيسَ السَّلامِ. | ٦ |
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, as he rules on the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and for evermore. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
| وَلا تَكُونُ نِهَايَةٌ لِنُمُوِّ رِيَاسَتِهِ وَلِلسَّلامِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَسُودَانِ عَرْشَ دَاوُدَ وَمَمْلَكَتَهُ، لِيُثَبِّتَهَا وَيَعْضُدَهَا بِالْحَقِّ وَالْبِرِّ، مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. إِنَّ غَيْرَةَ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تُتَمِّمُ هَذَا. | ٧ |
8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
| لَقَدْ أَصْدَرَ الرَّبُّ قَضَاءَهُ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ فَوَقَعَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٨ |
9 All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant heart,
| فَيَعْلَمُ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ: أَفْرَايِمُ وَسُكَّانُ السَّامِرَةِ الْقَائِلُونَ بِزَهْوٍ وَكِبْرِيَاءِ قَلْبٍ: | ٩ |
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
| «قَدْ تَسَاقَطَ اللِّبْنُ وَلَكِنَّنَا سَنَبْنِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قَدْ قُطِعَ الْجُمَّيْزُ وَلَكِنَّنَا نَسْتَبْدِلُهُ بِخَشَبِ الأَرْزِ!» | ١٠ |
11 Therefore Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies,
| ولَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُثِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ خُصُومَهُمْ وَيُثِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ، | ١١ |
12 the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
| فَيَنْقَضُّ الأَرَامِيُّونَ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ، وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنَ الْغَرْبِ لِيَلْتَهِمُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمِلْءِ الْفَمِ، وَمَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا فَإِنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ، وَيَدَهُ مَا بَرِحَتْ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ. | ١٢ |
13 Yet the people will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts.
| إِنَّ الشَّعْبَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ تَائِباً إِلَى مَنْ عَاقَبَهُ، وَلا طَلَبَ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ. | ١٣ |
14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
| لِذَلِكَ سَيَقْطَعُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ الرَّأْسَ وَالذَّنَبَ، النَّخْلَةَ وَالْقَصَبَةَ. | ١٤ |
15 The leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies is the tail.
| إِنَّ الشَّيْخَ وَالْوَجِيهَ هُوَ الرَّأْسُ، وَالنَّبِيَّ الَّذِي يُلَقِّنُ الْكَذِبَ هُوَ الذَّنَبُ | ١٥ |
16 Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
| فَمُرْشِدُو هَذَا الشَّعْبِ يُضِلُّونَهُ، وَالْمُرْشَدُونَ يُبْتَلَعُونَ. | ١٦ |
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِشُبَّانِهِمْ، وَلا يَتَرَأَّفُ عَلَى أَيْتَامِهِمْ وَأَرَامِلِهِمْ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَهُمْ مُنَافِقُونَ وَفَاعِلُو شَرٍّ، كُلُّ فَمٍ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَمَاقَةِ، وَمَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا فَإِنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَمْ يَرْتَدْ، وَمَا بَرِحَتْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ. | ١٧ |
18 Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest, which rise in a column of smoke.
| لأَنَّ الفُجُورَ يَحْرِقُ كَالنَّارِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ الشَّوْكَ وَالْحَسَكَ بَلْ تُشْعِلُ أَجَمَاتِ الغَابَةِ فَتَتَصَاعَدُ مِنْهَا سُحُبُ الدُّخَانِ. | ١٨ |
19 Through the fury of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire. No man spares his brother.
| إِنَّ الأَرْضَ تَحْتَرِقُ بِغَضَبِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، وَالشَّعْبَ كَوَقُودٍ لِلنَّارِ. لَا يَرْحَمُ وَاحِدٌ أَخَاهُ. | ١٩ |
20 They will grab food on the right hand but still be hungry; they will eat food on the left hand but will not be satisfied. Each will even eat the flesh of his own arm.
| يَلْتَهِمُونَ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَلَكِنْ يَظَلُّونَ جِيَاعاً، وَيَفْتَرِسُونَ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَلا يَشْبَعُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Manasseh will devour Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will attack Judah. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
| مَنَسَّى ضِدَّ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَفْرَايِمُ ضِدَّ مَنَسَّى، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا يَتَّحِدَانِ ضِدَّ يَهُوذَا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، وَمَا بَرِحَتْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ! | ٢١ |
