إِشَعْيَاءَ 3

١ 1 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَنْزِعُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا ٱلسَّنَدَ وَٱلرُّكْنَ، كُلَّ سَنَدِ خُبْزٍ، وَكُلَّ سَنَدِ مَاءٍ.

For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;

٢ 2 ٱلْجَبَّارَ وَرَجُلَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٱلْقَاضِيَ وَٱلنَّبِيَّ وَٱلْعَرَّافَ وَٱلشَّيْخَ.

the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,

٣ 3 رَئِيسَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ وَٱلْمُعْتَبَرَ وَٱلْمُشِيرَ، وَٱلْمَاهِرَ بَيْنَ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ، وَٱلْحَاذِقَ بِٱلرُّقْيَةِ.

the captain of fifty, the honourable man, the counsellor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

٤ 4 وَأَجْعَلُ صُبْيَانًا رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ، وَأَطْفَالًا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.

٥ 5 وَيَظْلِمُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَٱلرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ. يَتَمَرَّدُ ٱلصَّبِيُّ عَلَى ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَٱلدَّنِيءُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِيفِ.

The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honourable.

٦ 6 إِذَا أَمْسَكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِأَخِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ قَائِلًا: «لَكَ ثَوْبٌ فَتَكُونُ لَنَا رَئِيسًا، وَهَذَا ٱلْخَرَابُ تَحْتَ يَدِكَ»

Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”

٧ 7 يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «لَا أَكُونُ عَاصِبًا وَفِي بَيْتِي لَا خُبْزَ وَلَا ثَوْبَ. لَا تَجْعَلُونِي رَئِيسَ ٱلشَّعْبِ».

In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”

٨ 8 لِأَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَثَرَتْ، وَيَهُوذَا سَقَطَتْ، لِأَنَّ لِسَانَهُمَا وَأَفْعَالَهُمَا ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَةِ عَيْنَيْ مَجْدِهِ.

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

٩ 9 نَظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ بِخَطِيَّتِهِمْ كَسَدُومَ. لَا يُخْفُونَهَا. وَيْلٌ لِنُفُوسِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ شَرًّا.

The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

١٠ 10 قُولُوا لِلصِّدِّيقِ خَيْرٌ! لِأَنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ ثَمَرَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ.

Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.

١١ 11 وَيْلٌ لِلشِّرِّيرِ. شَرٌّ! لِأَنَّ مُجَازَاةَ يَدَيْهِ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ.

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.

١٢ 12 شَعْبِي ظَالِمُوهُ أَوْلَادٌ، وَنِسَاءٌ يَتَسَلَّطْنَ عَلَيْهِ. يَا شَعْبِي، مُرْشِدُوكَ مُضِلُّونَ، وَيَبْلَعُونَ طَرِيقَ مَسَالِكِكَ.

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.

١٣ 13 قَدِ ٱنْتَصَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْمُخَاصَمَةِ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ لِدَيْنُونَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.

١٤ 14 اَلرَّبُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مَعَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَكَلْتُمُ ٱلْكَرْمَ. سَلَبُ ٱلْبَائِسِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ.

The LORD will enter into judgement with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

١٥ 15 مَا لَكُمْ تَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبِي، وَتَطْحَنُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.

١٦ 16 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَتَشَامَخْنَ، وَيَمْشِينَ مَمْدُودَاتِ ٱلْأَعْنَاقِ، وَغَامِزَاتٍ بِعُيُونِهِنَّ، وَخَاطِرَاتٍ فِي مَشْيِهِنَّ، وَيُخَشْخِشْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ،

Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;

١٧ 17 يُصْلِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ هَامَةَ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُعَرِّي ٱلرَّبُّ عَوْرَتَهُنَّ.

therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”

١٨ 18 يَنْزِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ زِينَةَ ٱلْخَلَاخِيلِ وَٱلضَّفَائِرِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ،

In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,

١٩ 19 وَٱلْحَلَقِ وَٱلْأَسَاوِرِ وَٱلْبَرَاقِعِ

the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْعَصَائِبِ وَٱلسَّلَاسِلِ وَٱلْمَنَاطِقِ وَحَنَاجِرِ ٱلشَّمَّامَاتِ وَٱلْأَحْرَازِ،

the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,

٢١ 21 وَٱلْخَوَاتِمِ وَخَزَائِمِ ٱلْأَنْفِ،

the signet rings, the nose rings,

٢٢ 22 وَٱلثِّيَابِ ٱلْمُزَخْرَفَةِ وَٱلْعُطْفِ وَٱلْأَرْدِيَةِ وَٱلْأَكْيَاسِ،

the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,

٢٣ 23 وَٱلْمَرَائِي وَٱلْقُمْصَانِ وَٱلْعَمَائِمِ وَٱلْأُزُرِ.

the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.

٢٤ 24 فَيَكُونُ عِوَضَ ٱلطِّيبِ عُفُونَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْمِنْطَقَةِ حَبْلٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَدَائِلِ قَرْعَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلدِّيبَاجِ زُنَّارُ مِسْحٍ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَمَالِ كَيٌّ!

It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

٢٥ 25 رِجَالُكِ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَبْطَالُكِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

٢٦ 26 فَتَئِنُّ وَتَنُوحُ أَبْوَابُهَا، وَهِيَ فَارِغَةً تَجْلِسُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
