إِشَعْيَاءَ 10

١ 1 وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَقْضُونَ أَقْضِيَةَ ٱلْبُطْلِ، وَلِلْكَتَبَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَجِّلُونَ جَوْرًا

Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,

٢ 2 لِيَصُدُّوا ٱلضُّعَفَاءَ عَنِ ٱلْحُكْمِ، وَيَسْلُبُوا حَقَّ بَائِسِي شَعْبِي، لِتَكُونَ ٱلْأَرَامِلُ غَنِيمَتَهُمْ وَيَنْهَبُوا ٱلْأَيْتَامَ.

perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.

٣ 3 وَمَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْعِقَابِ، حِينَ تَأْتِي ٱلتَّهْلُكَةُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ؟ إِلَى مَنْ تَهْرُبُونَ لِلْمَعُونَةِ، وَأَيْنَ تَتْرُكُونَ مَجْدَكُمْ؟

And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory,

٤ 4 إِمَّا يَجْثُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَسْرَى، وَإِمَّا يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ ٱلْقَتْلَى. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ!

that you may not fall into captivity? For all this [his] wrath is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.

٥ 5 «وَيْلٌ لِأَشُّورَ قَضِيبِ غَضَبِي، وَٱلْعَصَا فِي يَدِهِمْ هِيَ سَخَطِي.

Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.

٦ 6 عَلَى أُمَّةٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ أُرْسِلُهُ، وَعَلَى شَعْبِ سَخَطِي أُوصِيهِ، لِيَغْتَنِمَ غَنِيمَةً وَيَنْهَبَ نَهْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَهُمْ مَدُوسِينَ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ.

I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.

٧ 7 أَمَّا هُوَ فَلَا يَفْتَكِرُ هَكَذَا، وَلَا يَحْسِبُ قَلْبُهُ هَكَذَا. بَلْ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يُبِيدَ وَيَقْرِضَ أُمَمًا لَيْسَتْ بِقَلِيلَةٍ.

But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and [that] to destroy nations not a few.

٨ 8 فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: أَلَيْسَتْ رُؤَسَائِي جَمِيعًا مُلُوكًا؟

And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;

٩ 9 أَلَيْسَتْ كَلْنُو مِثْلَ كَرْكَمِيشَ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ حَمَاةُ مِثْلَ أَرْفَادَ؟ أَلَيْسَتِ ٱلسَّامِرَةُ مِثْلَ دِمَشْقَ؟

then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I [not] taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?

١٠ 10 كَمَا أَصَابَتْ يَدِي مَمَالِكَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، وَأَصْنَامُهَا ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةُ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّتِي لِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِلسَّامِرَةِ،

As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.

١١ 11 أَفَلَيْسَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ بِٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَبِأَوْثَانِهَا أَصْنَعُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَصْنَامِهَا؟».

For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.

١٢ 12 فَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَكْمَلَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ كُلَّ عَمَلِهِ بِجَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَبِأُورُشَلِيمَ، أَنِّي أُعَاقِبُ ثَمَرَ عَظَمَةِ قَلْبِ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَفَخْرَ رِفْعَةِ عَيْنَيْهِ.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «بِقُدْرَةِ يَدِي صَنَعْتُ، وَبِحِكْمَتِي. لِأَنِّي فَهِيمٌ. وَنَقَلْتُ تُخُومَ شُعُوبٍ، وَنَهَبْتُ ذَخَائِرَهُمْ، وَحَطَطْتُ ٱلْمُلُوكَ كَبَطَلٍ.

For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of [my] understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.

١٤ 14 فَأَصَابَتْ يَدِي ثَرْوَةَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كَعُشٍّ، وَكَمَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْضٌ مَهْجُورٌ، جَمَعْتُ أَنَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُرَفْرِفُ جَنَاحٍ وَلَا فَاتِحُ فَمٍ وَلَا مُصَفْصِفٌ».

And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.

١٥ 15 هَلْ تَفْتَخِرُ ٱلْفَأْسُ عَلَى ٱلْقَاطِعِ بِهَا، أَوْ يَتَكَبَّرُ ٱلْمِنْشَارُ عَلَى مُرَدِّدِهِ؟ كَأَنَّ ٱلْقَضِيبَ يُحَرِّكُ رَافِعَهُ! كَأَنَّ ٱلْعَصَا تَرْفَعُ مَنْ لَيْسَ هُوَ عُودًا!

Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

١٦ 16 لِذَلِكَ يُرْسِلُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ، سَيِّدُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، عَلَى سِمَانِهِ هُزَالًا، وَيُوقِدُ تَحْتَ مَجْدِهِ وَقِيدًا كَوَقِيدِ ٱلنَّارِ.

but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.

١٧ 17 وَيَصِيرُ نُورُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَارًا وَقُدُّوسُهُ لَهِيبًا، فَيُحْرِقُ وَيَأْكُلُ حَسَكَهُ وَشَوْكَهُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ،

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.

١٨ 18 وَيُفْنِي مَجْدَ وَعْرِهِ وَبُسْتَانِهِ، ٱلنَّفْسَ وَٱلْجَسَدَ جَمِيعًا. فَيَكُونُ كَذَوَبَانِ ٱلْمَرِيضِ.

In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and [fire] shall devour [both] soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.

١٩ 19 وَبَقِيَّةُ أَشْجَارِ وَعْرِهِ تَكُونُ قَلِيلَةً حَتَّى يَكْتُبَهَا صَبِيٌّ.

And they that are left of them shall be a [small] number, and a child shall write them.

٢٠ 20 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلنَّاجِينَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ لَا يَعُودُونَ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ أَيْضًا عَلَى ضَارِبِهِمْ، بَلْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.

٢١ 21 تَرْجِعُ ٱلْبَقِيَّةُ، بَقِيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ، إِلَى ٱللهِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ.

And the remnant of Jacob shall [trust] on the mighty God.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَعْبُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ تَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْهُ. قَدْ قُضِيَ بِفَنَاءٍ فَائِضٍ بِٱلْعَدْلِ.

And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.

٢٣ 23 لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَصْنَعُ فَنَاءً وَقَضَاءً فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنْ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ أَشُّورَ يَا شَعْبِي ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ. يَضْرِبُكَ بِٱلْقَضِيبِ، وَيَرْفَعُ عَصَاهُ عَلَيْكَ عَلَى أُسْلُوبِ مِصْرَ.

Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall strike you with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon you, that [you] may see the way of Egypt.

٢٥ 25 لِأَنَّهُ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ جِدًّا يَتِمُّ ٱلسَّخَطُ وَغَضَبِي فِي إِبَادَتِهِمْ».

For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their council.

٢٦ 26 وَيُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ سَوْطًا، كَضَرْبَةِ مِدْيَانَ عِنْدَ صَخْرَةِ غُرَابَ، وَعَصَاهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَيَرْفَعُهَا عَلَى أُسْلُوبِ مِصْرَ.

And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.

٢٧ 27 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ حِمْلَهُ يَزُولُ عَنْ كَتِفِكَ، وَنِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ، وَيَتْلَفُ ٱلنِّيرُ بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّمَانَةِ.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.

٢٨ 28 قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى عَيَّاثَ. عَبَرَ بِمِجْرُونَ. وَضَعَ فِي مِخْمَاشَ أَمْتِعَتَهُ.

For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.

٢٩ 29 عَبَرُوا ٱلْمَعْبَرَ. بَاتُوا فِي جَبَعَ. ٱرْتَعَدَتِ ٱلرَّامَةُ. هَرَبَتْ جِبْعَةُ شَاوُلَ.

And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.

٣٠ 30 اِصْهِلِي بِصَوْتِكِ يَا بِنْتَ جَلِّيمَ. ٱسْمَعِي يَا لَيْشَةُ. مِسْكِينَةٌ هِيَ عَنَاثُوثُ.

The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.

٣١ 31 هَرَبَتْ مَدْمِينَةُ. ٱحْتَمَى سُكَّانُ جِيبِيمَ.

Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.

٣٢ 32 ٱلْيَوْمَ يَقِفُ فِي نُوبَ. يَهُزُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبَلِ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، أَكَمَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Exhort you [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.

٣٣ 33 هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَقْضِبُ ٱلْأَغْصَانَ بِرُعْبٍ، وَٱلْمُرْتَفِعُو ٱلْقَامَةِ يُقْطَعُونَ، وَٱلْمُتَشَامِخُونَ يَنْخَفِضُونَ.

Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:

٣٤ 34 وَيُقْطَعُ غَابُ ٱلْوَعْرِ بِٱلْحَدِيدِ، وَيَسْقُطُ لُبْنَانُ بِقَدِيرٍ.

and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and the Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
