إِشَعْيَاءَ 13
| وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَابِلَ رَآهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ: | ١ 1 |
This is the message Isaiah, son of Amoz, received about Babylon.
| أَقِيمُوا رَايَةً عَلَى جَبَلٍ أَقْرَعَ. ٱرْفَعُوا صَوْتًا إِلَيْهِمْ. أَشِيرُوا بِٱلْيَدِ لِيَدْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. | ٢ 2 |
Set up a banner on a bare hilltop; shout out to them; wave your hand to encourage them to enter the palaces of princes.
| أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُ مُقَدَّسِيَّ، وَدَعَوْتُ أَبْطَالِي لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِي، مُفْتَخِرِي عَظَمَتِي. | ٣ 3 |
I have ordered the ones I have chosen to attack; I have called my warriors to execute my furious judgment and to celebrate my triumph.
| صَوْتُ جُمْهُورٍ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ شِبْهَ قَوْمٍ كَثِيرِينَ. صَوْتُ ضَجِيجِ مَمَالِكِ أُمَمٍ مُجْتَمِعَةٍ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَعْرُضُ جَيْشَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. | ٤ 4 |
A noise comes from the mountains, sounding like that of a huge crowd! It's the roaring sound from the kingdoms, from nations gathering together! The Lord Almighty is calling up an army for war.
| يَأْتُونَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلرَّبُّ وَأَدَوَاتُ سَخَطِهِ لِيُخْرِبَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥ 5 |
They are coming from distant lands, from beyond the far horizons—the Lord and the weapons of his fury—coming to destroy the whole country.
| وَلْوِلُوا لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ، قَادِمٌ كَخَرَابٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَادِرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ٦ 6 |
Howl in fear, for the day of the Lord is approaching—the time when the Almighty destroys.
| لِذَلِكَ تَرْتَخِي كُلُّ ٱلْأَيَادِي، وَيَذُوبُ كُلُّ قَلْبِ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Everyone's hands will fall limp, and everyone will lose their minds in panic.
| فَيَرْتَاعُونَ. تَأْخُذُهُمْ أَوْجَاعٌ وَمَخَاضٌ. يَتَلَوَّوْنَ كَوَالِدَةٍ. يَبْهَتُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ. وُجُوهُهُمْ وُجُوهُ لَهِيبٍ. | ٨ 8 |
They will be terrified; pain and anguish will seize them; they will suffer like a woman giving birth. They will look in shock at each other, their faces burning in fear.
| هُوَذَا يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَادِمٌ، قَاسِيًا بِسَخَطٍ وَحُمُوِّ غَضَبٍ، لِيَجْعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرَابًا وَيُبِيدَ مِنْهَا خُطَاتَهَا. | ٩ 9 |
Look! The day of the Lord is coming—cruel, with fury and fierce anger—to devastate the land and to wipe out its sinners.
| فَإِنَّ نُجُومَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَجَبَابِرَتَهَا لَا تُبْرِزُ نُورَهَا. تُظْلِمُ ٱلشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِهَا، وَٱلْقَمَرُ لَا يَلْمَعُ بِضَوْئِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
The stars in the constellations of heaven above will not shine. When the sun rises it will stay dark. The moon will give no light.
| وَأُعَاقِبُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ عَلَى شَرِّهَا، وَٱلْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُبَطِّلُ تَعَظُّمَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَأَضَعُ تَجَبُّرَ ٱلْعُتَاةِ. | ١١ 11 |
I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their sin, says the Lord. I will put an end to the conceit of the arrogant, and I will humiliate tyrants and their pride.
| وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَعَزَّ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْإِبْرِيزِ، وَٱلْإِنْسَانَ أَعَزَّ مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ. | ١٢ 12 |
I will make people scarcer than pure gold, rarer than the gold of Ophir.
| لِذَلِكَ أُزَلْزِلُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ مَكَانِهَا فِي سَخَطِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ وَفِي يَوْمِ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
So I will shake the heavens and make the earth jump out of its place because of the fury of the Lord Almighty, at the time when his anger burns.
| وَيَكُونُونَ كَظَبْيٍ طَرِيدٍ، وَكَغَنَمٍ بِلَا مَنْ يَجْمَعُهَا. يَلْتَفِتُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَيَهْرُبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Like a gazelle being hunted, or like sheep without a shepherd, the Babylonians will return to their own people, they will run away to their own land.
| كُلُّ مَنْ وُجِدَ يُطْعَنُ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ ٱنْحَاشَ يَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Anyone who is captured will be stabbed to death; anyone who is caught will be killed by the sword.
| وَتُحَطَّمُ أَطْفَالُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، وَتُنْهَبُ بُيُوتُهُمْ وَتُفْضَحُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Their little children will be dashed to pieces as they watch, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be raped.
| هَأَنَذَا أُهَيِّجُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمَادِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْتَدُّونَ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَلَا يُسَرُّونَ بِٱلذَّهَبِ، | ١٧ 17 |
I'm going to get the Medes to attack them, people who don't care about silver or gold.
| فَتُحَطِّمُ ٱلْقِسِيُّ ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، ولَا يَرْحَمُونَ ثَمَرَةَ ٱلْبَطْنِ. لَا تُشْفِقُ عُيُونُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْأَوْلَادِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Their bows will slaughter their young men; they will show no mercy to babies; they will have no pity on children.
| وَتَصِيرُ بَابِلُ، بَهَاءُ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ وَزِينَةُ فَخْرِ ٱلْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ، كَتَقْلِيبِ ٱللهِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Babylon, the most marvelous city of any kingdom, the greatest pride of the Babylonian people, will be demolished by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
| لَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا تُسْكَنُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، وَلَا يُخَيِّمُ هُنَاكَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، وَلَا يُرْبِضُ هُنَاكَ رُعَاةٌ، | ٢٠ 20 |
No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted—no desert nomad will set up a tent there, no shepherd will bring a flock to rest there.
| بَلْ تَرْبُضُ هُنَاكَ وُحُوشُ ٱلْقَفْرِ، وَيَمْلَأُ ٱلْبُومُ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَتَسْكُنُ هُنَاكَ بَنَاتُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، وَتَرْقُصُ هُنَاكَ مَعْزُ ٱلْوَحْشِ، | ٢١ 21 |
Only desert animals will make their homes there, and the ruined houses will be inhabited by wild dogs. Owls will live there, and wild goats will leap around.
| وَتَصِيحُ بَنَاتُ آوَى فِي قُصُورِهِمْ، وَٱلذِّئَابُ فِي هَيَاكِلِ ٱلتَّنَعُّمِ، وَوَقْتُهَا قَرِيبُ ٱلْمَجِيءِ وَأَيَّامُهَا لَا تَطُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals in her lavish palaces. Babylon's time is coming soon—they will not last much longer.
