إِشَعْيَاءَ 19

١ 1 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ مِصْرَ: هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى سَحَابَةٍ سَرِيعَةٍ وَقَادِمٌ إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَتَرْتَجِفُ أَوْثَانُ مِصْرَ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ، وَيَذُوبُ قَلْبُ مِصْرَ دَاخِلَهَا.

The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rides upon a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

٢ 2 وَأُهَيِّجُ مِصْرِيِّينَ عَلَى مِصْرِيِّينَ، فَيُحَارِبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَخَاهُ وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ صَاحِبَهُ: مَدِينَةٌ مَدِينَةً، وَمَمْلَكَةٌ مَمْلَكَةً.

And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they shall fight each one against his brother, and each one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

٣ 3 وَتُهْرَاقُ رُوحُ مِصْرَ دَاخِلَهَا، وَأُفْنِي مَشُورَتَهَا، فَيَسْأَلُونَ ٱلْأَوْثَانَ وَٱلْعَازِفِينَ وَأَصْحَابَ ٱلتَّوَابِعِ وَٱلْعَرَّافِينَ.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel of it. And they shall seek for the idols, and for the charmers, and for those who have familiar spirits, and for the wizards.

٤ 4 وَأُغْلِقُ عَلَى ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي يَدِ مَوْلًى قَاسٍ، فَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلِكٌ عَزِيزٌ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. And a fierce king shall rule over them, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

٥ 5 وَتُنَشَّفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَيَجِفُّ ٱلنَّهْرُ وَيَيْبَسُ.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.

٦ 6 وَتُنْتِنُ ٱلْأَنْهَارُ، وَتَضْعُفُ وَتَجِفُّ سَوَاقِي مِصْرَ، وَيَتْلَفُ ٱلْقَصَبُ وَٱلْأَسَلُ.

And the rivers shall become foul. The streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags shall wither away.

٧ 7 وَٱلرِّيَاضُ عَلَى ٱلنِّيلِ عَلَى حَافَةِ ٱلنِّيلِ، وَكُلُّ مَزْرَعَةٍ عَلَى ٱلنِّيلِ تَيْبَسُ وَتَتَبَدَّدُ وَلَا تَكُونُ.

The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

٨ 8 وَٱلصَّيَّادُونَ يَئِنُّونَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْقُونَ شِصًّا فِي ٱلنِّيلِ يَنُوحُونَ. وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبْسُطُونَ شَبَكَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ يَحْزَنُونَ،

And the fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast a hook into the Nile shall mourn, and those who spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

٩ 9 وَيَخْزَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلْكَتَّانَ ٱلْمُمَشَّطَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَحِيكُونَ ٱلْأَنْسِجَةَ ٱلْبَيْضَاءَ.

Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, shall be confounded.

١٠ 10 وَتَكُونُ عُمُدُهَا مَسْحُوقَةً، وَكُلُّ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ بِٱلْأُجْرَةِ مُكْتَئِبِي ٱلنَّفْسِ.

And the pillars of Egypt shall be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire shall be grieved in soul.

١١ 11 إِنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ صُوعَنَ أَغْبِيَاءُ! حُكَمَاءُ مُشِيرِي فِرْعَوْنَ مَشُورَتُهُمْ بَهِيمِيَّةٌ! كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «أَنَا ٱبْنُ حُكَمَاءَ، ٱبْنُ مُلُوكٍ قُدَمَاءَ»؟

The rulers of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How will ye say to Pharaoh, I am the son of wise men, the son of ancient kings?

١٢ 12 فَأَيْنَ هُمْ حُكَمَاؤُكَ؟ فَلْيُخْبِرُوكَ. لِيَعْرِفُوا مَاذَا قَضَى بِهِ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَلَى مِصْرَ.

Where then are thy wise men? And let them tell thee now, and let them know what Jehovah of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.

١٣ 13 رُؤَسَاءُ صُوعَنَ صَارُوا أَغْبِيَاءَ. رُؤَسَاءُ نُوفَ ٱنْخَدَعُوا. وَأَضَلَّ مِصْرَ وُجُوهُ أَسْبَاطِهَا.

The rulers of Zoan have become fools. The rulers of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, the chief of her tribes.

١٤ 14 مَزَجَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِهَا رُوحَ غَيٍّ، فَأَضَلُّوا مِصْرَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِهَا، كَتَرَنُّحِ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ فِي قَيْئِهِ.

Jehovah has mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her, and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work of it, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

١٥ 15 فَلَا يَكُونُ لِمِصْرَ عَمَلٌ يَعْمَلُهُ رَأْسٌ أَوْذَنَبٌ، نَخْلَةٌ أَوْ أَسَلَةٌ.

Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

١٦ 16 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَكُونُ مِصْرُ كَٱلنِّسَاءِ، فَتَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْجُفُ مِنْ هَزَّةِ يَدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلَّتِي يَهُزُّهَا عَلَيْهَا.

In that day the Egyptians shall be like women, and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shakes over them.

١٧ 17 وَتَكُونُ أَرْضُ يَهُوذَا رُعْبًا لِمِصْرَ. كُلُّ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَهَا يَرْتَعِبُ مِنْ أَمَامِ قَضَاءِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلَّذِي يَقْضِي بِهِ عَلَيْهَا.

And the land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it shall be afraid because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposes against it.

١٨ 18 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ خَمْسُ مُدُنٍ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِلُغَةِ كَنْعَانَ وَتَحْلِفُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يُقَالُ لِإِحْدَاهَا «مَدِينَةُ ٱلشَّمْسِ».

In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Jehovah of hosts. One shall be called The city of destruction.

١٩ 19 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ مَذْبَحٌ لِلرَّبِّ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَعَمُودٌ لِلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ تُخْمِهَا.

In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Jehovah at the border of it.

٢٠ 20 فَيَكُونُ عَلَامَةً وَشَهَادَةً لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. لِأَنَّهُمْ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْمُضَايِقِينَ، فَيُرْسِلُ لَهُمْ مُخَلِّصًا وَمُحَامِيًا وَيُنْقِذُهُمْ.

And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior, and a defender, and he will deliver them.

٢١ 21 فَيُعْرَفُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي مِصْرَ، وَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَيُقَدِّمُونَ ذَبِيحَةً وَتَقْدِمَةً، وَيَنْذُرُونَ لِلرَّبِّ نَذْرًا وَيُوفُونَ بِهِ.

And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day. Yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow to Jehovah, and shall perform it.

٢٢ 22 وَيَضْرِبُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِصْرَ ضَارِبًا فَشَافِيًا، فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ وَيَشْفِيهِمْ.

And Jehovah will smite Egypt, smiting and healing, and they shall return to Jehovah. And he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.

٢٣ 23 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَكُونُ سِكَّةٌ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، فَيَجِيءُ ٱلْأَشُّورِيُّونَ إِلَى مِصْرَ وَٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، وَيَعْبُدُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ مَعَ ٱلْأَشُّورِيِّينَ.

In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.

٢٤ 24 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ثُلُثًا لِمِصْرَ وَلِأَشُّورَ، بَرَكَةً فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ،

In that day Israel shall be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

٢٥ 25 بِهَا يُبَارِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: «مُبَارَكٌ شَعْبِي مِصْرُ، وَعَمَلُ يَدَيَّ أَشُّورُ، وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلُ».

in that Jehovah of hosts has blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.
