إِشَعْيَاءَ 32

١ 1 هُوَذَا بِٱلْعَدْلِ يَمْلِكُ مَلِكٌ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ بِٱلْحَقِّ يَتَرَأَّسُونَ.

Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule.

٢ 2 وَيَكُونُ إِنْسَانٌ كَمَخْبَأٍ مِنَ ٱلرِّيحِ وَسِتَارَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْلِ، كَسَوَاقِي مَاءٍ فِي مَكَانٍ يَابِسٍ، كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ مُعْيِيَةٍ.

And each hath been as a hiding-place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding-place [from] inundation, As rivulets of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.

٣ 3 وَلَا تَحْسِرُ عُيُونُ ٱلنَّاظِرِينَ، وَآذَانُ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ تَصْغَى،

And not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of hearers do attend.

٤ 4 وَقُلُوبُ ٱلْمُتَسَرِّعِينَ تَفْهَمُ عِلْمًا، وَأَلْسِنَةُ ٱلْعَيِيِّينَ تُبَادِرُ إِلَى ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ فَصِيحًا.

And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly.

٥ 5 وَلَا يُدْعَى ٱللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيمًا، وَلَا ٱلْمَاكِرُ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَبِيلٌ.

A fool is no more called 'noble,' And to a miser it is not said, 'rich;'

٦ 6 لِأَنَّ ٱللَّئِيمَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَعْمَلُ إِثْمًا لِيَصْنَعَ نِفَاقًا، وَيَتَكَلَّمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱفْتِرَاءٍ، وَيُفْرِغَ نَفْسَ ٱلْجَائِعِ وَيَقْطَعَ شِرْبَ ٱلْعَطْشَانِ.

For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.

٧ 7 وَٱلْمَاكِرُ آلَاتُهُ رَدِيئَةٌ. هُوَ يَتَآمَرُ بِٱلْخَبَائِثِ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ بِأَقْوَالِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، حَتَّى فِي تَكَلُّمِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

And the miser — his instruments [are] evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْكَرَائِمِ يَتَآمَرُ، وَهُوَ بِٱلْكَرَائِمِ يَقُومُ.

And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.

٩ 9 أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ، قُمْنَ ٱسْمَعْنَ صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَنَاتُ ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ، ٱصْغَيْنَ لِقَوْلِي.

Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,

١٠ 10 أَيَّامًا عَلَى سَنَةٍ تَرْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَى ٱلْقِطَافُ. ٱلِٱجْتِنَاءُ لَا يَأْتِي.

Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not.

١١ 11 اِرْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ. ٱرْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَتَنَطَّقْنَ عَلَى ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ

Tremble ye women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,

١٢ 12 لَاطِمَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلثُّدِيِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحُقُولِ ٱلْمُشْتَهَاةِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْكَرْمَةِ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةِ.

For breasts they are lamenting, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.

١٣ 13 عَلَى أَرْضِ شَعْبِي يَطْلَعُ شَوْكٌ وَحَسَكٌ حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْفَرَحِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجَةِ.

Over the ground of my people thorn — brier goeth up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَصْرَ قَدْ هُدِمَ. جُمْهُورُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ تُرِكَ. ٱلْأَكَمَةُ وَٱلْبُرْجُ صَارَا مَغَايِرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، مَرَحًا لِحَمِيرِ ٱلْوَحْشِ، مَرْعًى لِلْقُطْعَانِ.

Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the age, A joy of wild asses — a pasture of herds;

١٥ 15 إِلَى أَنْ يُسْكَبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ، فَتَصِيرَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ بُسْتَانًا، وَيُحْسَبَ ٱلْبُسْتَانُ وَعْرًا.

Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned.

١٦ 16 فَيَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْحَقُّ، وَٱلْعَدْلُ فِي ٱلْبُسْتَانِ يُقِيمُ.

And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth.

١٧ 17 وَيَكُونُ صُنْعُ ٱلْعَدْلِ سَلَامًا، وَعَمَلُ ٱلْعَدْلِ سُكُونًا وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness — Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.

١٨ 18 وَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي مَسْكَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ وَفِي مَحَلَّاتٍ أَمِينَةٍ.

And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places.

١٩ 19 وَيَنْزِلُ بَرَدٌ بِهُبُوطِ ٱلْوَعْرِ، وَإِلَى ٱلْحَضِيضِ تُوضَعُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ.

And it hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in the valley is the city low.

٢٠ 20 طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلزَّارِعُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، ٱلْمُسَرِّحُونَ أَرْجُلَ ٱلثَّوْرِ وَٱلْحِمَارِ.

Happy [are] ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!
