إِشَعْيَاءَ 5

١ 1 لَأُنْشِدَنَّ عَنْ حَبِيبِي نَشِيدَ مُحِبِّي لِكَرْمِهِ: كَانَ لِحَبِيبِي كَرْمٌ عَلَى أَكَمَةٍ خَصِبَةٍ،

Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.

٢ 2 فَنَقَبَهُ وَنَقَّى حِجَارَتَهُ وَغَرَسَهُ كَرْمَ سَوْرَقَ، وَبَنَى بُرْجًا فِي وَسَطِهِ، وَنَقَرَ فِيهِ أَيْضًا مِعْصَرَةً، فَٱنْتَظَرَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ عِنَبًا فَصَنَعَ عِنَبًا رَدِيئًا.

And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

٣ 3 «وَٱلْآنَ يَا سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَرِجَالَ يَهُوذَا، ٱحْكُمُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ كَرْمِي.

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

٤ 4 مَاذَا يُصْنَعُ أَيْضًا لِكَرْمِي وَأَنَا لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ لَهُ؟ لِمَاذَا إِذِ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ عِنَبًا، صَنَعَ عِنَبًا رَدِيئًا؟

What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?

٥ 5 فَٱلْآنَ أُعَرِّفُكُمْ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَرْمِي: أَنْزِعُ سِيَاجَهُ فَيَصِيرُ لِلرَّعْيِ. أَهْدِمُ جُدْرَانَهُ فَيَصِيرُ لِلدَّوْسِ.

And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down.

٦ 6 وَأَجْعَلُهُ خَرَابًا لَا يُقْضَبُ وَلَا يُنْقَبُ، فَيَطْلَعُ شَوْكٌ وَحَسَكٌ. وَأُوصِي ٱلْغَيْمَ أَنْ لَا يُمْطِرَ عَلَيْهِ مَطَرًا».

And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

٧ 7 إِنَّ كَرْمَ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ هُوَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَغَرْسَ لَذَّتِهِ رِجَالُ يَهُوذَا. فَٱنْتَظَرَ حَقًّا فَإِذَا سَفْكُ دَمٍ، وَعَدْلًا فَإِذَا صُرَاخٌ.

For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry.

٨ 8 وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ بَيْتًا بِبَيْتٍ، وَيَقْرِنُونَ حَقْلًا بِحَقْلٍ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَوْضِعٌ. فَصِرْتُمْ تَسْكُنُونَ وَحْدَكُمْ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, till there is no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

٩ 9 فِي أُذُنَيَّ قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «أَلَا إِنَّ بُيُوتًا كَثِيرَةً تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا. بُيُوتًا كَبِيرَةً وَحَسَنَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ.

In my ears says Jehovah of hosts, of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ عَشْرَةَ فَدَادِينِ كَرْمٍ تَصْنَعُ بَثًّا وَاحِدًا، وَحُومَرَ بِذَارٍ يَصْنَعُ إِيفَةً».

For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.

١١ 11 وَيْلٌ لِلْمُبَكِّرِينَ صَبَاحًا يَتْبَعُونَ ٱلْمُسْكِرَ، لِلْمُتَأَخِّرِينَ فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ تُلْهِبُهُمُ ٱلْخَمْرُ.

Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!

١٢ 12 وَصَارَ ٱلْعُودُ وَٱلرَّبَابُ وَٱلدُّفُّ وَٱلنَّايُ وَٱلْخَمْرُ وَلَائِمَهُمْ، وَإِلَى فَعْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ لَا يَنْظُرُونَ، وَعَمَلَ يَدَيْهِ لَا يَرَوْنَ.

And the harp and the lute, the tambourine and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts, but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, nor have they considered the operation of his hands.

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ سُبِيَ شَعْبِي لِعَدَمِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، وَتَصِيرُ شُرَفَاؤُهُ رِجَالَ جُوعٍ، وَعَامَّتُهُ يَابِسِينَ مِنَ ٱلْعَطَشِ.

Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of knowledge, and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ وَسَّعَتِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ نَفْسَهَا، وَفَغَرَتْ فَاهَا بِلَا حَدٍّ، فَيَنْزِلُ بَهَاؤُهَا وَجُمْهُورُهَا وَضَجِيجُهَا وَٱلْمُبْتَهِجُ فِيهَا! (Sheol h7585)

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure. And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)

١٥ 15 وَيُذَلُّ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَيُحَطُّ ٱلرَّجُلُ، وَعُيُونُ ٱلْمُسْتَعْلِينَ تُوضَعُ.

And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is debased, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled,

١٦ 16 وَيَتَعَالَى رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ بِٱلْعَدْلِ، وَيَتَقَدَّسُ ٱلإِلَهُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ بِٱلْبِرِّ.

but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

١٧ 17 وَتَرْعَى ٱلْخِرْفَانُ حَيْثُمَا تُسَاقُ، وَخِرَبُ ٱلسِّمَانِ تَأْكُلُهَا ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ.

Then the lambs shall feed as in their pasture, and wanderers shall eat the waste places of the fat ones.

١٨ 18 وَيْلٌ لِلْجَاذِبِينَ ٱلْإِثْمَ بِحِبَالِ ٱلْبُطْلِ، وَٱلْخَطِيَّةَ كَأَنَّهُ بِرُبُطِ ٱلْعَجَلَةِ،

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope,

١٩ 19 ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: «لِيُسْرِعْ، لِيُعَجِّلْ عَمَلَهُ لِكَيْ نَرَى، وَلْيَقْرُبْ وَيَأْتِ مَقْصَدُ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِنَعْلَمَ».

who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it. And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!

٢٠ 20 وَيْلٌ لِلْقَائِلِينَ لِلشَّرِّ خَيْرًا وَلِلْخَيْرِ شَرًّا، ٱلْجَاعِلِينَ ٱلظَّلَامَ نُورًا وَٱلنُّورَ ظَلَامًا، ٱلْجَاعِلِينَ ٱلْمُرَّ حُلْوًا وَٱلْحُلْوَ مُرًّا.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

٢١ 21 وَيْلٌ لِلْحُكَمَاءِ فِي أَعْيُنِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَٱلْفُهَمَاءِ عِنْدَ ذَوَاتِهِمْ.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

٢٢ 22 وَيْلٌ لِلْأَبْطَالِ عَلَى شُرْبِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَلِذَوِي ٱلْقُدْرَةِ عَلَى مَزْجِ ٱلْمُسْكِرِ.

Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink,

٢٣ 23 ٱلَّذِينَ يُبَرِّرُونَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرُّشْوَةِ، وَأَمَّا حَقُّ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ فَيَنْزِعُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ.

who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him!

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ كَمَا يَأْكُلُ لَهِيبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْقَشَّ، وَيَهْبِطُ ٱلْحَشِيشُ ٱلْمُلْتَهِبُ، يَكُونُ أَصْلُهُمْ كَٱلْعُفُونَةِ، وَيَصْعَدُ زَهْرُهُمْ كَٱلْغُبَارِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَذَلُوا شَرِيعَةَ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَٱسْتَهَانُوا بِكَلَامِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

٢٥ 25 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَهُ، حَتَّى ٱرْتَعَدَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ وَصَارَتْ جُثَثُهُمْ كَٱلزِّبْلِ فِي ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ.

Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them. And the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

٢٦ 26 فَيَرْفَعُ رَايَةً لِلْأُمَمِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَيَصْفِرُ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِٱلْعَجَلَةِ يَأْتُونَ سَرِيعًا.

And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will whistle for them from the end of the earth, and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.

٢٧ 27 لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ رَازِحٌ وَلَا عَاثِرٌ. لَا يَنْعَسُونَ وَلَا يَنَامُونَ، وَلَا تَنْحَلُّ حُزُمُ أَحْقَائِهِمْ، وَلَا تَنْقَطِعُ سُيُورُ أَحْذِيَتِهِمْ.

None shall be weary nor stumble among them. None shall slumber nor sleep, nor shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken,

٢٨ 28 ٱلَّذِينَ سِهَامُهُمْ مَسْنُونَةٌ، وَجَمِيعُ قِسِيِّهِمْ مَمْدُودَةٌ. حَوَافِرُ خَيْلِهِمْ تُحْسَبُ كَٱلصَّوَّانِ، وَبَكَرَاتُهُمْ كَٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ.

whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.

٢٩ 29 لَهُمْ زَمْجَرَةٌ كَٱللَّبْوَةِ، وَيُزَمْجِرُونَ كَٱلشِّبْلِ، وَيَهِرُّونَ وَيُمْسِكُونَ ٱلْفَرِيسَةَ وَيَسْتَخْلِصُونَهَا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ.

Their roaring shall be like a lioness. They shall roar like young lions. Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.

٣٠ 30 يَهِرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ كَهَدِيرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. فَإِنْ نُظِرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهُوَذَا ظَلَامُ ٱلضِّيقِ، وَٱلنُّورُ قَدْ أَظْلَمَ بِسُحُبِهَا.

And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if a man looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.
