< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
اَلْأُمُورُ ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ مِنْ جِهَةِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:١
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mount of the LORD'S house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.٢
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
وَتَسِيرُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.٣
4 And he will judge among the nations, and will rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَيُنْصِفُ لِشُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.٤
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَلُمَّ فَنَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ ٱلرَّبِّ.٥
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are replenished from the east, and [are] sooth-sayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
فَإِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ شَعْبَكَ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱمْتَلَأُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُمْ عَائِفُونَ كَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيُصَافِحُونَ أَوْلَادَ ٱلْأَجَانِبِ.٦
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither [is there any] end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither [is there any] end of their chariots:
وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ خَيْلًا وَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ.٧
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ أَوْثَانًا. يَسْجُدُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِمَا صَنَعَتْهُ أَصَابِعُهُمْ.٨
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
وَيَنْخَفِضُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، وَيَنْطَرِحُ ٱلرَّجُلُ، فَلَا تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ.٩
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
اُدْخُلْ إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ وَٱخْتَبِئْ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ.١٠
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be abased, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
تُوضَعُ عَيْنَا تَشَامُخِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَتُخْفَضُ رِفْعَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١١
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
فَإِنَّ لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَوْمًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَعَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُرْتَفِعٍ فَيُوضَعُ،١٢
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, [that are] high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ ٱلْعَالِي ٱلْمُرْتَفِعِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،١٣
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills [that are] lifted up,
وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلتِّلَالِ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،١٤
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fortified wall,
وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُورٍ مَنِيعٍ،١٥
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَعْلَامِ ٱلْبَهِجَةِ.١٦
17 And the loftiness of man shall be abased, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
فَيُخْفَضُ تَشَامُخُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَتُوضَعُ رِفْعَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.١٧
18 And the idols he will utterly abolish.
وَتَزُولُ ٱلْأَوْثَانُ بِتَمَامِهَا.١٨
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي مَغَايِرِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، وَفِي حَفَائِرِ ٱلتُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ، عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.١٩
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made [each one] for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ أَوْثَانَهُ ٱلْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَوْثَانَهُ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةَ، ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا لَهُ لِلسُّجُودِ، لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَٱلْخَفَافِيشِ،٢٠
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
لِيَدْخُلَ فِي نُقَرِ ٱلصُّخُورِ وَفِي شُقُوقِ ٱلْمَعَاقِلِ، مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.٢١
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath [is] in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
كُفُّوا عَنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يُحْسَبُ؟٢٢
