إِشَعْيَاءَ 22

١ 1 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا: فَمَا لَكِ أَنَّكِ صَعِدْتِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى ٱلسُّطُوحِ،

The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?

٢ 2 يَا مَلآنَةُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلَبَةِ، ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَجَّاجَةُ، ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْمُفْتَخِرَةُ؟ قَتْلَاكِ لَيْسَ هُمْ قَتْلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ وَلَا مَوْتَى ٱلْحَرْبِ.

O thou that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.

٣ 3 جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِكِ هَرَبُوا مَعًا. أُسِرُوا بِٱلْقِسِيِّ. كُلُّ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ بِكِ أُسِرُوا مَعًا. مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَرُّوا.

All thy rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off.

٤ 4 لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: «ٱقْتَصِرُوا عَنِّي، فَأَبْكِي بِمَرَارَةٍ. لَا تُلِحُّوا بِتَعْزِيَتِي عَنْ خَرَابِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي».

Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

٥ 5 إِنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا يَوْمَ شَغبٍ وَدَوْسٍ وَٱرْتِبَاكٍ. نَقْبُ سُورٍ وَصُرَاخٌ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.

For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

٦ 6 فَعِيلَامُ قَدْ حَمَلَتِ ٱلْجَعْبَةَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِ رِجَالٍ فُرْسَانٍ، وَقِيرُ قَدْ كَشَفَتِ ٱلْمِجَنَّ.

And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

٧ 7 فَتَكُونُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْدِيَتِكِ مَلآنَةً مَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَٱلْفُرْسَانُ تَصْطَفُّ ٱصْطِفَافًا نَحْوَ ٱلْبَابِ.

And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

٨ 8 وَيَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ يَهُوذَا، فَتَنْظُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى أَسْلِحَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

And he took away the covering of Judah, and thou looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

٩ 9 وَرَأَيْتُمْ شُقُوقَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّهَا صَارَتْ كَثِيرَةً، وَجَمَعْتُمْ مِيَاهَ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلسُّفْلَى.

And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many. And to fortify the wall, ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool,

١٠ 10 وَعَدَدْتُمْ بُيُوتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمْتُمُ ٱلْبُيُوتَ لِتَحْصِينِ ٱلسُّورِ.

and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses.

١١ 11 وَصَنَعْتُمْ خَنْدَقًا بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ لِمِيَاهِ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلْعَتِيقَةِ. لَكِنْ لَمْ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى صَانِعِهِ، وَلَمْ تَرَوْا مُصَوِّرَهُ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ.

Ye also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye did not look to him who had done this, nor had ye respect to him who purposed it long ago.

١٢ 12 وَدَعَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى ٱلْبُكَاءِ وَٱلنَّوْحِ وَٱلْقَرَعَةِ وَٱلتَّنَطُّقِ بِٱلْمِسْحِ،

And in that day the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, called for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

١٣ 13 فَهُوَذَا بَهْجَةٌ وَفَرَحٌ، ذَبْحُ بَقَرٍ وَنَحْرُ غَنَمٍ، أَكْلُ لَحْمٍ وَشُرْبُ خَمْرٍ! «لِنَأْكُلْ وَنَشْرَبْ، لِأَنَّنَا غَدًا نَمُوتُ».

And, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

١٤ 14 فَأَعْلَنَ فِي أُذُنَيَّ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «لَا يُغْفَرَنَّ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ حَتَّى تَمُوتُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

١٥ 15 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى هَذَا جَلِيسِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى شِبْنَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ:

Thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

١٦ 16 مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا؟ وَمَنْ لَكَ هَهُنَا حَتَّى نَقَرْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ هَهُنَا قَبْرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاقِرُ فِي ٱلْعُلُوِّ قَبْرَهُ، ٱلنَّاحِتُ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ مَسْكَنًا؟

What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!

١٧ 17 هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَطْرَحُكَ طَرْحًا يَا رَجُلُ، وَيُغَطِّيكَ تَغْطِيَةً.

Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

١٨ 18 يَلُفُّكَ لَفَّ لَفِيفَةٍ كَٱلْكُرَةِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةِ ٱلطَّرَفَيْنِ. هُنَاكَ تَمُوتُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَكُونُ مَرْكَبَاتُ مَجْدِكَ، يَا خِزْيَ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكَ.

He will surely wind thee round and round, tossing like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.

١٩ 19 وَأَطْرُدُكَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِكَ، وَمِنْ مَقَامِكَ يَحُطُّكَ.

And I will thrust thee from thine office, and thou shall be pulled down from thy station.

٢٠ 20 «وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَدْعُو عَبْدِي أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ حِلْقِيَّا

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.

٢١ 21 وَأُلْبِسُهُ ثَوْبَكَ، وَأَشُدُّهُ بِمِنْطَقَتِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ سُلْطَانَكَ فِي يَدِهِ، فَيَكُونُ أَبًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt. And I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

٢٢ 22 وَأَجْعَلُ مِفْتَاحَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، فَيَفْتَحُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُغْلِقُ، وَيُغْلِقُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْتَحُ.

And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.

٢٣ 23 وَأُثَبِّتُهُ وَتَدًا فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ، وَيَكُونُ كُرْسِيَّ مَجْدٍ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيهِ.

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house.

٢٤ 24 وَيُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَجْدِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ، ٱلْفُرُوعَ وَٱلْقُضْبَانَ، كُلَّ آنِيَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ ٱلطُّسُوسِ إِلَى آنِيَةِ ٱلْقَنَّانِيِّ جَمِيعًا.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.

٢٥ 25 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يَزُولُ ٱلْوَتَدُ ٱلْمُثْبَتُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ وَيُقْطَعُ وَيَسْقُطُ. وَيُبَادُ ٱلثِّقْلُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».

In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place shall give way, and it shall be hewn down, and fall. And the burden that was upon it shall be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it.
