< إِشَعْيَاءَ 13 >

وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَابِلَ رَآهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ: ١ 1
The burden of Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
أَقِيمُوا رَايَةً عَلَى جَبَلٍ أَقْرَعَ. ٱرْفَعُوا صَوْتًا إِلَيْهِمْ. أَشِيرُوا بِٱلْيَدِ لِيَدْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. ٢ 2
Over the foggy mountain lift up a sign! Raise the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers enter through the gates!
أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُ مُقَدَّسِيَّ، وَدَعَوْتُ أَبْطَالِي لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِي، مُفْتَخِرِي عَظَمَتِي. ٣ 3
In my wrath, I commanded my sanctified ones, and I called my strong ones, those who exult in my glory.
صَوْتُ جُمْهُورٍ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ شِبْهَ قَوْمٍ كَثِيرِينَ. صَوْتُ ضَجِيجِ مَمَالِكِ أُمَمٍ مُجْتَمِعَةٍ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَعْرُضُ جَيْشَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٤ 4
On the mountains, there is the voice of a multitude, as if of a numerous people, a voice with the sound of kings, of nations gathered together. For the Lord of hosts has given orders to soldiers of war,
يَأْتُونَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلرَّبُّ وَأَدَوَاتُ سَخَطِهِ لِيُخْرِبَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٥ 5
to those who are arriving from a far off land, from the heights of the heavens. It is the Lord and the instruments of his fury, so that he may bring ruin to all the earth.
وَلْوِلُوا لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ، قَادِمٌ كَخَرَابٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَادِرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. ٦ 6
Wail aloud! For the day of the Lord draws near! It will arrive like a devastation from the Lord.
لِذَلِكَ تَرْتَخِي كُلُّ ٱلْأَيَادِي، وَيَذُوبُ كُلُّ قَلْبِ إِنْسَانٍ. ٧ 7
Because of it, every hand will fail, and every heart of man will waste away and be crushed.
فَيَرْتَاعُونَ. تَأْخُذُهُمْ أَوْجَاعٌ وَمَخَاضٌ. يَتَلَوَّوْنَ كَوَالِدَةٍ. يَبْهَتُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ. وُجُوهُهُمْ وُجُوهُ لَهِيبٍ. ٨ 8
Writhing and pain will seize them. They will be in pain, like a woman in labor. Each one will appear stupefied to his neighbor. Their countenances will be like faces which have been burned up.
هُوَذَا يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَادِمٌ، قَاسِيًا بِسَخَطٍ وَحُمُوِّ غَضَبٍ، لِيَجْعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرَابًا وَيُبِيدَ مِنْهَا خُطَاتَهَا. ٩ 9
Behold, the day of the Lord approaches: a cruel day, full of indignation and wrath and fury, which will place the earth in solitude and crush the sinners from it.
فَإِنَّ نُجُومَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَجَبَابِرَتَهَا لَا تُبْرِزُ نُورَهَا. تُظْلِمُ ٱلشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِهَا، وَٱلْقَمَرُ لَا يَلْمَعُ بِضَوْئِهِ. ١٠ 10
For the stars of the heavens, in their splendor, will not display their light. The sun will be obscured at its rising, and the moon will not shine in her brightness.
وَأُعَاقِبُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ عَلَى شَرِّهَا، وَٱلْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُبَطِّلُ تَعَظُّمَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَأَضَعُ تَجَبُّرَ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. ١١ 11
And I will act against the evils of the world, and against the impious for their iniquity. And I will cause the pride of the unfaithful to cease, and I will bring down the arrogance of the strong.
وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَعَزَّ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْإِبْرِيزِ، وَٱلْإِنْسَانَ أَعَزَّ مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ. ١٢ 12
A man will be more precious than gold, and mankind will become like pure refined gold.
لِذَلِكَ أُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ مَكَانِهَا فِي سَخَطِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ وَفِي يَوْمِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ. ١٣ 13
For this purpose, I will stir up heaven, and the earth will be moved from its place, because of the indignation of the Lord of hosts, because of the day of his furious wrath.
وَيَكُونُونَ كَظَبْيٍ طَرِيدٍ، وَكَغَنَمٍ بِلَا مَنْ يَجْمَعُهَا. يَلْتَفِتُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَيَهْرُبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. ١٤ 14
And they will be like a doe fleeing away, or like sheep; and there will be no one who may gather them together. Each one will turn to his own people, and every one will flee to his own land.
كُلُّ مَنْ وُجِدَ يُطْعَنُ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ ٱنْحَاشَ يَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. ١٥ 15
All who are found will be killed, and all who are caught unaware will fall by the sword.
وَتُحَطَّمُ أَطْفَالُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، وَتُنْهَبُ بُيُوتُهُمْ وَتُفْضَحُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ. ١٦ 16
Their infants will be thrown down violently before their eyes. Their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be violated.
هَأَنَذَا أُهَيِّجُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمَادِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْتَدُّونَ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَلَا يُسَرُّونَ بِٱلذَّهَبِ، ١٧ 17
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them. They will not seek silver, nor desire gold.
فَتُحَطِّمُ ٱلْقِسِيُّ ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، ولَا يَرْحَمُونَ ثَمَرَةَ ٱلْبَطْنِ. لَا تُشْفِقُ عُيُونُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْأَوْلَادِ. ١٨ 18
Instead, with their arrows, they will put the little children to death, and they will take no pity on breastfeeding women, and their eye will not spare their children.
وَتَصِيرُ بَابِلُ، بَهَاءُ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ وَزِينَةُ فَخْرِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ، كَتَقْلِيبِ ٱللهِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ. ١٩ 19
And then Babylon, the glorious one among kingdoms, that famous pride of the Chaldeans, will be destroyed, even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
لَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، وَلَا يُخَيِّمُ هُنَاكَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، وَلَا يُرْبِضُ هُنَاكَ رُعَاةٌ، ٢٠ 20
It will not be inhabited, even unto the end, and it will not be reestablished, even from generation to generation. The Arab will not pitch his tents there, nor will the shepherds take rest there.
بَلْ تَرْبُضُ هُنَاكَ وُحُوشُ ٱلْقَفْرِ، وَيَمْلَأُ ٱلْبُومُ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَتَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ بَنَاتُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، وَتَرْقُصُ هُنَاكَ مَعْزُ ٱلْوَحْشِ، ٢١ 21
Instead, the wild beasts will rest there, and their houses will be filled with serpents, and ostriches will live there, and the hairy ones will leap about there.
وَتَصِيحُ بَنَاتُ آوَى فِي قُصُورِهِمْ، وَٱلذِّئَابُ فِي هَيَاكِلِ ٱلتَّنَعُّمِ، وَوَقْتُهَا قَرِيبُ ٱلْمَجِيءِ وَأَيَّامُهَا لَا تَطُولُ. ٢٢ 22
And the tawny owls will answer one another there, in its buildings, and the Sirens in its shrines of pleasure.
