< Isaiah 14 >

1 Because Jehovah loveth Jacob, And hath fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And joined hath been the sojourner to them, And they have been admitted to the house of Jacob.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُنْعِمُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَصْطَفِي شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً وَيُحِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، فَيَنْضَمُّ الْغُرَبَاءُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَلْحَقُونَ بِبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ.١
2 And peoples have taken them, And have brought them in unto their place, And the house of Israel have inherited them, On the land of Jehovah, For men-servants and for maid-servants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
وَتَمُدُّ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ إِلَيْهِمْ يَدَ الْعَوْنِ لِيُسَاعِدُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ لِدِيَارِهِ. وَيَصِيرُونَ عَبِيداً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فِي أَرْضِ الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى آسِرِيهِمْ وَظَالِمِيهِمْ.٢
3 And it hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah's giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُرِيحُكُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عَنَائِكُمْ وَشَقَائِكُمْ وَعُبُودِيَّتِكُمُ الْقَاسِيَةِ،٣
4 That thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased,
فَتَسْخَرُونَ مِنْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ قَائِلِينَ: كَيْفَ اسْتَكَانَ الظَّالِمُ، وَكَيْفَ خَمَدَتْ غَضْبَتُهُ الْمُتَعَجْرِفَةُ؟٤
5 Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath Jehovah the staff of the wicked, The sceptre of rulers.
قَدْ حَطَّمَ الرَّبُّ عَصَا الْمُنَافِقِ وَصَوْلَجَانَ الْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ،٥
6 He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!
الَّذِينَ انْهَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ ضَرْباً بِسَخَطٍ لَا يَتَوَقَّفُ؛ الَّذِينَ تَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى الأُمَمِ بِغَضَبٍ وَاضْطِهَادٍ شَدِيدٍ.٦
7 At rest — quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken forth [into] singing.
فَاسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا وَسَادَهَا الْهُدُوءُ، فَتَغَنَّتْ شُعُوبُهَا تَرَنُّماً.٧
8 Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon — [saying]: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up against us.
حَتَّى شَجَرُ السَّرْوِ وَأَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ عَمَّهَا الْفَرَحُ فَقَالَتْ: «مُنْذُ أَنِ انْكَسَرَتْ شَوْكَتُكَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَيْنَا قَاطِعُ حَطَبٍ»٨
9 Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
ثَارَتِ الْهَاوِيَةُ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِكَ عِنْدَ قُدُومِكَ وَحَشَدَتِ الأَخْيِلَةَ، مِنْ كُلِّ الْعُظَمَاءِ، لِتَحِيَّتِكَ؛ أَنْهَضَتْ كُلَّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ عَنْ عُرُوشِهِمْ (Sheol h7585)٩
10 All of them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like!
كُلُّهُمْ يُخَاطِبُونَكَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ صِرْتَ ضَعِيفاً مِثْلَنَا، أَصْبَحْتَ مُمَاثِلاً لَنَا!»١٠
11 Brought down to Sheol hath been thine excellency, The noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm. (Sheol h7585)
طُرِحَتْ كُلُّ عَظَمَتِكَ فِي الْهَاوِيَةِ مَعَ رَنَّةِ عِيدَانِكَ، وَأَصْبَحَتِ الرِّمَمُ فِرَاشَكَ وَالدُّودُ غِطَاءً لَكَ! (Sheol h7585)١١
12 How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
كَيْفَ هَوَيْتِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَا زُهَرَةُ بِنْتَ الصُّبْحِ؟ كَيْفَ قُطِعْتَ وَطُرِحْتَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَا قَاهِرَ الأُمَمِ؟١٢
13 And thou saidst in thy heart: the heavens I go up, Above stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount of meeting in the sides of the north.
قَدْ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: «إِنِّي أَرْتَقِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَرْفَعُ عَرْشِي فَوْقَ كَوَاكِبِ اللهِ، وَأَجْلِسُ عَلَى جَبَلِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي أَقْصَى الشِّمَالِ١٣
14 I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
أَرْتَقِي فَوْقَ أَعَالِي السَّحَابِ، وَأُصْبِحُ مِثْلَ الْعَلِيِّ».١٤
15 Only — unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
وَلَكِنَّكَ طُرِحْتَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ، إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ. (Sheol h7585)١٥
16 Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
وَالَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَكَ يُحَمْلِقُونَ فِيكَ وَيَتَأَمَّلُونَ مُتَسَائِلِينَ: «أَهَذَا هُوَ الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي زَعْزَعَ الأَرْضَ وَهَزَّ الْمَمَالِكَ؟١٦
17 He hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house.
الَّذِي حَوَّلَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ إِلَى مِثْلِ الْقَفْرِ، وَقَلَبَ مُدُنَهَا، وَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ أَسْرَاهُ لِيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟»١٧
18 All kings of nations — all of them, Have lain down in honour, each in his house,
لَقَدْ رَقَدَ كُلُّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ بِكَرَامَةٍ، كُلٌّ فِي ضَرِيحِهِ،١٨
19 And — thou hast been cast out of thy grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down unto the sons of the pit, As a carcase trodden down.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ طُرِحْتَ بَعِيداً عَنْ قَبْرِكَ كَغُصْنٍ مَكْسُورٍ تُغَطِّيكَ رِمَمُ قَتْلَى الْمَعَارِكِ الَّذِينَ انْحَدَرُوا إِلَى مَقَرِّ الْمَوْتَى، وَصِرْتَ كَجَثَّةٍ دَاسَتْهَا حَوَافِرُ الْخَيْلِ١٩
20 Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.
لَا تَنْضَمُّ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي مَدْفَنٍ، لأَنَّكَ خَرَّبْتَ أَرْضَكَ، وَذَبَحْتَ شَعْبَكَ، فَذُرِّيَّةُ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ يَبِيدُ ذِكْرُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٢٠
21 Prepare ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They rise not, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
أَعِدُّوا مَذْبَحَةً لأَبْنَائِهِ جَزَاءَ إِثْمِ آبَائِهِمْ، لِئَلَّا يَقُومُوا وَيَرِثُوا الأَرْضَ فَيَمْلأُوا وَجْهَ الْبَسِيطَةِ مُدُناً.٢١
22 And I have risen up against them, (The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, ) And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor, The affirmation of Jehovah.
«إِنِّي أَهُبُّ ضِدَّهُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، «وَأَمْحُو مِنْ بَابِلَ اسْماً وَبَقِيَّةً وَنَسْلاً وَذُرِّيَّةً،٢٢
23 And have made it for a possession of a bittern, And ponds of waters, And daubed it with the mire of destruction, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
وَأَجْعَلُهَا مِيرَاثاً لِلْقَنَافِذِ، وَمُسْتَنْقَعَاتٍ لِلْمِيَاهِ، وَأَكْنِسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ الدَّمَارِ».٢٣
24 Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts, saying, 'As I thought — so hath it not been? And as I counselled — it standeth;
لَقَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ قَائِلاً: «حَقّاً مَا عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ، وَمَا نَوَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتْماً يَتِمُّ:٢٤
25 To break Asshur in My land, And on My mountains I tread him down, And turned from off them hath his yoke, Yea, his burden from off their shoulder turneth aside.
أَنْ أُحَطِّمَ أَشُورَ فِي أَرْضِي وَأَطَأَهُ عَلَى جِبَالِي، فَيُلْقِيَ عَنْهُمْ نِيرَهُ، وَيَزُولَ عَنْ كَاهِلِهِمْ حِمْلُهُ.٢٥
26 This [is] the counsel that is counselled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.
هَذَا هُوَ الْقَضَاءُ الَّذِي حَكَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، وَهَذِهِ هِي الْيَدُ الَّتِي امْتَدَّتْ عَلَى كُلِّ الأُمَمِ.٢٦
27 For Jehovah of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn it back?'
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ قَضَى، فَمَنْ يُبْطِلُ قَضَاءَهُ؟ وَيَدُهُ قَدِ امْتَدَّتْ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟»٢٧
28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:
وَفِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ لإِشَعْيَاءَ:٢٨
29 Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying saraph.
«لا تَفْرَحِي يَا كُلَّ فِلِسْطِينَ، لأَنَّ الْقَضِيبَ الَّذِي ضَرَبَكِ قَدِ انْكَسَرَ. فَإِنَّ مِنْ أَصْلِ تِلْكَ الأَفْعَى يَخْرُجُ أُفْعُوَانٌ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ تَكُونُ ثُعْبَاناً سَامّاً طَيَّاراً٢٩
30 And delighted have the first-born of the poor, And the needy in confidence lie down, And I have put to death with famine thy root, And thy remnant it slayeth.
أَمَّا أَبْكَارُ الْبَائِسِينَ فَيَرْعَوْنَ، وَالْمَسَاكِينُ يَرْبِضُونَ آمِنِينَ. لَكِنَّنِي أُهْلِكُ أَصْلَكِ بِالْمَجَاعَةِ وَأَقْضِي عَلَى بَقِيَّتِكِ.٣٠
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, Melted art thou, Philistia, all of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, And there is none alone in his set places.
وَلْوِلْ أَيُّهَا البَابُ وَنُوحِي أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ! ذُوبِي خَوْفاً يَا فِلِسْطِينُ قَاطِبَةً لأَنَّ جَيْشاً مُدَرَّباً قَدْ زَحَفَ نَحْوَكِ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ٣١
32 And what doth one answer the messengers of a nation? 'That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in it do the poor of His people trust!'
فَبِمَاذَا نُجِيبُ رُسُلَ الأُمَّةِ؟ لِتَقُلْ لَهُمْ: قَدْ أَسَّسَ الرَّبُّ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَلُوذَ بِها مَنْكُوبُو شَعْبِهِ».٣٢
