Isaiah 24

1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.

١ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُخْلِي ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيُفْرِغُهَا وَيَقْلِبُ وَجْهَهَا وَيُبَدِّدُ سُكَّانَهَا.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.

٢ وَكَمَا يَكُونُ ٱلشَّعْبُ هَكَذَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ. كَمَا ٱلْعَبْدُ هَكَذَا سَيِّدُهُ. كَمَا ٱلْأَمَةُ هَكَذَا سَيِّدَتُهَا. كَمَا ٱلشَّارِي هَكَذَا ٱلْبَائِعُ. كَمَا ٱلْمُقْرِضُ هَكَذَا ٱلْمُقْتَرِضُ. وَكَمَا ٱلدَّائِنُ هَكَذَا ٱلْمَدْيُونُ.

3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

٣ تُفْرَغُ ٱلْأَرْضُ إِفْرَاغًا وَتُنْهَبُ نَهْبًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ.

4 The earth mourneth [and] fadeth away, the world languisheth [and] fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

٤ نَاحَتْ ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. حَزِنَتْ ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ. حَزِنَ مُرْتَفِعُو شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

5 The earth also is defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

٥ وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَدَنَّسَتْ تَحْتَ سُكَّانِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ تَعَدَّوْا ٱلشَّرَائِعَ، غَيَّرُوا ٱلْفَرِيضَةَ، نَكَثُوا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّ.

6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell in it are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

٦ لِذَلِكَ لَعْنَةٌ أَكَلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعُوقِبَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. لِذَلِكَ ٱحْتَرَقَ سُكَّانُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَبَقِيَ أُنَاسٌ قَلَائِلُ.

7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.

٧ نَاحَ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ، ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْكَرْمَةُ، أَنَّ كُلُّ مَسْرُورِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

٨ بَطَلَ فَرَحُ ٱلدُّفُوفِ، ٱنْقَطَعَ ضَجِيجُ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجِينَ، بَطَلَ فَرَحُ ٱلْعُودِ.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

٩ لَا يَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرًا بِٱلْغِنَاءِ. يَكُونُ ٱلْمُسْكِرُ مُرًّا لِشَارِبِيهِ.

10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may enter.

١٠ دُمِّرَتْ قَرْيَةُ ٱلْخَرَابِ. أُغْلِقَ كُلُّ بَيْتٍ عَنِ ٱلدُّخُولِ.

11 [There] is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

١١ صُرَاخٌ عَلَى ٱلْخَمْرِ فِي ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ. غَرَبَ كُلُّ فَرَحٍ. ٱنْتَفَى سُرُورُ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

١٢ اَلْبَاقِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَرَابٌ، وَضُرِبَ ٱلْبَابُ رَدْمًا.

13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, [there shall be] as the shaking of an olive-tree, [and] as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

١٣ إِنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كَنُفَاضَةِ زَيْتُونَةٍ، كَٱلْخُصَاصَةِ إِذِ ٱنْتَهَى ٱلْقِطَافُ.

14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

١٤ هُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ. لِأَجْلِ عَظَمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ يُصَوِّتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, [even] the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

١٥ لِذَلِكَ فِي ٱلْمَشَارِقِ مَجِّدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. فِي جَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ مَجِّدُوا ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, [even] glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

١٦ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ سَمِعْنَا تَرْنِيمَةً: «مَجْدًا لِلْبَارِّ». فَقُلْتُ: «يَا تَلَفِي، يَا تَلَفِي! وَيْلٌ لِي! ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ نَهَبُوا. ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ نَهَبُوا نَهْبًا».

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

١٧ عَلَيْكَ رُعْبٌ وَحُفْرَةٌ وَفَخٌّ يَا سَاكِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

١٨ وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلْهَارِبَ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلرُّعْبِ يَسْقُطُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، وَٱلصَّاعِدَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ يُؤْخَذُ بِٱلْفَخِّ. لِأَنَّ مَيَازِيبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ، وَأُسُسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَزَلْزَلَتْ.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is entirely dissolved, the earth is exceedingly moved.

١٩ اِنْسَحَقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱنْسِحَاقًا. تَشَقَّقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَشَقُّقًا. تَزَعْزَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَعْزُعًا.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression of it shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

٢٠ تَرَنَّحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَرَنُّحًا كَٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَتَدَلْدَلَتْ كَٱلْعِرْزَالِ، وَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهَا ذَنْبُهَا، فَسَقَطَتْ وَلَا تَعُودُ تَقُومُ.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

٢١ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُطَالِبُ جُنْدَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ فِي ٱلْعَلَاءِ، وَمُلُوكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

22 And they shall be gathered, [as] prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

٢٢ وَيُجْمَعُونَ جَمْعًا كَأَسَارَى فِي سِجْنٍ، وَيُغْلَقُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي حَبْسٍ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ يَتَعَهَّدُونَ.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

٢٣ وَيَخْجَلُ ٱلْقَمَرُ وَتُخْزَى ٱلشَّمْسُ، لِأَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ مَلَكَ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقُدَّامَ شُيُوخِهِ مَجْدٌ.
