< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
الإِعْلانُ الَّذِي رَآهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ بِشَأْنِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:١
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
وَيَحْدُثُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ، أَنَّ جَبَلَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُ أَسْمَى مِنْ كُلِّ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَعْلُو فَوْقَ كُلِّ التِّلالِ، فَتَتَوَافَدُ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ.٢
3 Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s 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 the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
وَتُقْبِلُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَتَقُولُ: تَعَالَوْا لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ، لأَنَّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعْلَنُ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ.٣
4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ الْكَثِيرَةِ، فَيَصْنَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ مَحَارِيثَ وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ، وَلا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفاً، وَلا يَتَدَرَّبُونَ عَلَى الْحَرْبِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.٤
5 House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَيَّا لِنَسْلُكْ فِي نُورِ الرَّبِّ.٥
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ نَبَذْتَ شَعْبَكَ، بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، فَكَثُرَ بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَرَّافُونَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ، كَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَتَعَاهَدُوا مَعَ الْغُرَبَاءِ.٦
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
امْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً، وَكُنُوزُهُمْ لَا نِهَايَةَ لَهَا، وَامْتَلأَتْ بِلادُهُمْ بِالْخَيْلِ، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُمْ لَا تُحْصَى.٧
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
امْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالأَصْنَامِ، وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَسَجَدُوا لِعَمَلِ أَصَابِعِهِمْ.٨
9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
لِذَلِكَ يَنْحَطُّ الإِنْسَانُ، وَيَذِلُّ الْبَشَرُ، وَلا تَصْفَحُ عَنْهُمْ.٩
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
اخْتَفِ فِي مَغَاوِرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَاخْتَبِئْ فِي حُفَرِ الأَرْضِ خَشْيَةً مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ جَلالِ مَجْدِهِ.١٠
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
فَعُيُونُ الْبَشَرِ الْمُتَشَامِخَةُ تُخْفَضُ، وَكِبْرِيَاؤُهُمْ تَذِلُّ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.١١
12 For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ يَوْماً فِيهِ يُوْضَعُ كُلُّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَمُتَكَبِّرٍ وَمُتَغَطْرِسٍ.١٢
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
وَيَسْمُو عَلَى أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ الْمُتَعَالِي الشَّامِخِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،١٣
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
وَعَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ أَشَمَّ، وَعَلَى التِّلالِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،١٤
15 for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَالٍ، وَسُورٍ حَصِينٍ،١٥
16 for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ،١٦
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
فَيَعْتَرِي الْهَوَانُ غَطْرَسَةَ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُذَلُّ تَشَامُخُ الْبَشَرِ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ،١٧
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
وَتُبَادُ الأَصْنَامُ كُلُّهَا،١٨
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
وَيَلْجَأُ النَّاسُ إِلَى مَغَاوِرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَإِلَى حَفَائِرِ الأَرْضِ، مُتَوَارِينَ مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ جَلالِهِ، عِنْدَمَا يَهُبُّ لِيُزَلْزِلَ الأَرْضَ.١٩
20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ النَّاسُ لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَالْخَفَافِيشِ أَوْثَانَهُمُ الْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَصْنَامَهُمُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ الَّتِي صَنَعُوهَا لِيَعْبُدُوهَا،٢٠
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي كُهُوفِ الصَّخْرِ، وَفِي شُقُوقِ الْجُرُوفِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ هَرَباً مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ جَلالِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَهُبُّ لِيُزَلْزِلَ الأَرْضَ.٢١
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
كُفُّوا عَنِ الاتِّكَالِ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ الْمُعَرَّضِ لِلْمَوْتِ؛ فَأَيُّ قِيمَةٍ لَهُ؟٢٢
