إِشَعْيَاءَ 24

١ 1 هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُخْلِي ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيُفْرِغُهَا وَيَقْلِبُ وَجْهَهَا وَيُبَدِّدُ سُكَّانَهَا.

Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.

٢ 2 وَكَمَا يَكُونُ ٱلشَّعْبُ هَكَذَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ. كَمَا ٱلْعَبْدُ هَكَذَا سَيِّدُهُ. كَمَا ٱلْأَمَةُ هَكَذَا سَيِّدَتُهَا. كَمَا ٱلشَّارِي هَكَذَا ٱلْبَائِعُ. كَمَا ٱلْمُقْرِضُ هَكَذَا ٱلْمُقْتَرِضُ. وَكَمَا ٱلدَّائِنُ هَكَذَا ٱلْمَدْيُونُ.

And it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.

٣ 3 تُفْرَغُ ٱلْأَرْضُ إِفْرَاغًا وَتُنْهَبُ نَهْبًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ.

Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:

٤ 4 نَاحَتْ ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. حَزِنَتْ ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ. حَزِنَ مُرْتَفِعُو شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.

٥ 5 وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَدَنَّسَتْ تَحْتَ سُكَّانِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ تَعَدَّوْا ٱلشَّرَائِعَ، غَيَّرُوا ٱلْفَرِيضَةَ، نَكَثُوا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّ.

And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ لَعْنَةٌ أَكَلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعُوقِبَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. لِذَلِكَ ٱحْتَرَقَ سُكَّانُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَبَقِيَ أُنَاسٌ قَلَائِلُ.

Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.

٧ 7 نَاحَ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ، ذَبُلَتِ ٱلْكَرْمَةُ، أَنَّ كُلُّ مَسْرُورِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.

٨ 8 بَطَلَ فَرَحُ ٱلدُّفُوفِ، ٱنْقَطَعَ ضَجِيجُ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجِينَ، بَطَلَ فَرَحُ ٱلْعُودِ.

Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.

٩ 9 لَا يَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرًا بِٱلْغِنَاءِ. يَكُونُ ٱلْمُسْكِرُ مُرًّا لِشَارِبِيهِ.

With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.

١٠ 10 دُمِّرَتْ قَرْيَةُ ٱلْخَرَابِ. أُغْلِقَ كُلُّ بَيْتٍ عَنِ ٱلدُّخُولِ.

It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.

١١ 11 صُرَاخٌ عَلَى ٱلْخَمْرِ فِي ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ. غَرَبَ كُلُّ فَرَحٍ. ٱنْتَفَى سُرُورُ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.

١٢ 12 اَلْبَاقِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَرَابٌ، وَضُرِبَ ٱلْبَابُ رَدْمًا.

Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.

١٣ 13 إِنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كَنُفَاضَةِ زَيْتُونَةٍ، كَٱلْخُصَاصَةِ إِذِ ٱنْتَهَى ٱلْقِطَافُ.

When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,

١٤ 14 هُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ. لِأَجْلِ عَظَمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ يُصَوِّتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.

١٥ 15 لِذَلِكَ فِي ٱلْمَشَارِقِ مَجِّدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. فِي جَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ مَجِّدُوا ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.

١٦ 16 مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ سَمِعْنَا تَرْنِيمَةً: «مَجْدًا لِلْبَارِّ». فَقُلْتُ: «يَا تَلَفِي، يَا تَلَفِي! وَيْلٌ لِي! ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ نَهَبُوا. ٱلنَّاهِبُونَ نَهَبُوا نَهْبًا».

From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, 'Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.

١٧ 17 عَلَيْكَ رُعْبٌ وَحُفْرَةٌ وَفَخٌّ يَا سَاكِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.

١٨ 18 وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ ٱلْهَارِبَ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلرُّعْبِ يَسْقُطُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، وَٱلصَّاعِدَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ يُؤْخَذُ بِٱلْفَخِّ. لِأَنَّ مَيَازِيبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ، وَأُسُسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَزَلْزَلَتْ.

And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.

١٩ 19 اِنْسَحَقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱنْسِحَاقًا. تَشَقَّقَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَشَقُّقًا. تَزَعْزَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَعْزُعًا.

Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.

٢٠ 20 تَرَنَّحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ تَرَنُّحًا كَٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَتَدَلْدَلَتْ كَٱلْعِرْزَالِ، وَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهَا ذَنْبُهَا، فَسَقَطَتْ وَلَا تَعُودُ تَقُومُ.

Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.

٢١ 21 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُطَالِبُ جُنْدَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ فِي ٱلْعَلَاءِ، وَمُلُوكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.

٢٢ 22 وَيُجْمَعُونَ جَمْعًا كَأَسَارَى فِي سِجْنٍ، وَيُغْلَقُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي حَبْسٍ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ يَتَعَهَّدُونَ.

And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.

٢٣ 23 وَيَخْجَلُ ٱلْقَمَرُ وَتُخْزَى ٱلشَّمْسُ، لِأَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ مَلَكَ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقُدَّامَ شُيُوخِهِ مَجْدٌ.

And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
