< Isaiah 33 >

1 Woe, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee.
وَيْلٌ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الْمُدَمِّرُ الَّذِي لَمْ تُدَمَّرْ بَعْدُ، وَالنَّاهِبُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَنْهَبُوكَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ التَّدْمِيرِ تُدَمَّرُ، وَحِينَ تَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ النَّهْبِ يَنْهَبُونَكَ.١
2 O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity.
يَا رَبُّ ارْحَمْنَا. إِيَّاكَ انْتَظَرْنَا، كُنْ عَضُدَنَا فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَخَلاصَنَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْمِحْنَةِ.٢
3 From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations.
مِنْ صَوْتِ ضَجِيجِكَ هَرَبَتِ الشُّعُوبُ، وَمِنَ ارْتِفَاعِكَ تَبَدَّدَتِ الأُمَمُ،٣
4 And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it.
وَكَمَا يَلْتَهِمُ الْجَرَادُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، هَكَذَا يُجْمَعُ سَلَبُكُمْ، وَيَتَوَاثَبُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ كَتَوَاثُبِ الْجَنَادِبِ.٤
5 Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
الرَّبُّ مُتَعَظِّمٌ لأَنَّهُ سَاكِنٌ فِي الْعَلاءِ. يَمْلأُ صِهْيَوْنَ عَدْلاً وَحَقّاً.٥
6 And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah — it [is] His treasure.
هُوَ ضَمَانُ أَزْمَانِكَ وَوَفْرَةُ خَلاصٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ كَنْزَهُ.٦
7 Lo, 'Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
هَا رُسُلُكُمْ يَنُوحُونَ خَارِجاً، وَمُمَثِّلُو السَّلامِ يَبْكُونَ بِمَرَارَةٍ.٧
8 Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised enemies, He hath not esteemed a man.
أَقْفَرَتِ الطُّرُقُ وَخَلَتْ مِنْ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ، نَقَضَ الْعَهْدَ وَازْدَرَى شُهُودَهُ، وَلَمْ تَعُدْ لِلإِنْسَانِ قِيمَةٌ.٨
9 Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel.
نَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَذَوَتْ. خَجِلَ لُبْنَانُ وَذَبُلَ، وَصَارَ شَارُونُ كَالْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَنَفَضَ بَاشَانُ وَالْكَرْمَلُ عَنْهُمَا أَوْرَاقَهُمَا.٩
10 Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «الآنَ أَقُومُ، الآنَ أَنْهَضُ وَأَتَعَظَّمُ،١٠
11 Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! — fire devoureth you.
فَكُلُّ مَا بَذَلْتُمُوهُ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَيُّهَا الأَشُورِيُّونَ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ كَالْحَشِيْشِ وَالتِّبْنِ وَصَارَتْ أَنْفَاسُكُمْ نَاراً تَلْتَهِمُكُمْ.١١
12 And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, with fire they burn.
وَتُصْبِحُ الشُّعُوبُ كَوَقُودِ الْكِلْسِ، كَأَشْوَاكٍ مُسْتَأْصَلَةٍ مُحْتَرِقَةٍ بِالنَّارِ».١٢
13 Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye near ones, My might.
اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْبَعِيدُونَ مَا صَنَعْتُ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الْقَرِيبُونَ اعْرِفُوا قُوَّتِي.١٣
14 Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us — consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us — burnings of the age?
قَدِ ارْتَعَبَ الْخُطَاةُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَاسْتَوْلَتِ الرَّعْدَةُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ، فَهَتَفُوا: مَنْ مِنَّا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ؟ وَمَنْ مِنَّا يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فِي وَقَائِدَ أَبَدِيَّةٍ؟١٤
15 Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
السَّالِكُ فِي الْبِرِّ، وَالنَّاطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ، وَالنَّابِذُ رِبْحَ الظُّلْمِ، وَالنَّافِضُ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْضِ الرِّشْوَةِ، الصَّامُّ أُذُنَيْهِ عَنِ الاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى مُؤَامَرَاتِ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ، الْمُغْمِضُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ التَّأَمُّلِ فِي الشَّرِّ،١٥
16 He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْكُنُ فِي الْعَلاءِ، وَمَلْجَأُهُ مَعَاقِلُ الصُّخُورِ، يُؤَمَّنُ لَهُ خُبْزُهُ. وَيُكْفَلُ لَهُ مَاؤُهُ.١٦
17 A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.
سَتَشْهَدُ عَيْنَاكَ الْمَلِكَ فِي بَهَائِهِ، وَتُبْصِرُ أَرْضاً تَمْتَدُّ بَعِيداً.١٧
18 Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
يَتَذَكَّرُ قَلْبُكَ أَزْمِنَةَ الرُّعْبِ فَتَتَسَاءَلُ: أَيْنَ الْكَاتِبُ الْحَاسِبُ؟ أَيْنَ جَابِي الْجِزْيَةِ؟ أَيْنَ مَنْ يُحْصِي الأَبْرَاجَ؟١٨
19 The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
لَنْ تَرَى الشَّعْبَ الشَّرِسَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ لُغَةً أَجْنَبِيَّةً لَا تَفْهَمُهَا.١٩
20 See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken.
التَفِتْ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ مَدِينَةِ أَعْيَادِنَا، فَتَكْتَحِلَ عَيْنَاكَ بِمَرْأَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَسْكَنِ الْمُطْمَئِنِّ وَالْخَيْمَةِ الثَّابِتَةِ الَّتِي لَا تُقْلَعُ أَوْتَادُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَلا تَنْقَطِعُ حِبَالُهَا٢٠
21 But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers — streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it.
هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ لَنَا بِجَلالِهِ مَكَانَ أَنْهَارٍ وَجَدَاوِلَ وَاسِعَةٍ لَا يَبْحُرُ فِيهَا قَارِبٌ ذُو مِجْدَافٍ، وَلا تَمْخُرُ فِيهَا سَفِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ،٢١
22 For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king — He doth save us.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ قَاضِينَا، الرَّبُّ هُوَ مُشْتَرِعُنَا، هُوَ مَلِكُنَا وَسَيُخَلِّصُنَا٢٢
23 Left have been thy ropes, They strengthen not rightly their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then apportioned hath been a prey of much spoil, The lame have taken spoil.
لَقَدِ اسْتَرْخَتْ حِبَالُ أَشْرِعَتِكَ، فَلا يُمْكِنُهَا شَدُّ قَاعِدَةِ السَّارِيَةِ أَوْ نَشْرُ الشِّرَاعِ، حِينَئِذٍ نَقْسِمُ الْغَنَائِمَ الْوَفِيرَةَ. حَتَّى الْعُرْجُ يَنْهَبُونَ السَّلَبَ.٢٣
24 Nor doth an inhabitant say, 'I was sick,' The people that is dwelling in it, is forgiven of iniquity!
لَنْ يَقُولَ مُقِيمٌ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ إِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ، وَيَنْزِعُ الرَّبُّ إِثْمَ الشَّعْبِ السَّاكِنِ فِيهَا.٢٤
