< إِشَعْيَاءَ 8 >

وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لَوْحًا كَبِيرًا، وَٱكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ بِقَلَمِ إِنْسَانٍ: لِمَهَيْرَ شَلَالَ حَاشَ بَزَ. ١ 1
And the LORD said unto me: 'Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it in common script: The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth;
وَأَنْ أُشْهِدَ لِنَفْسِي شَاهِدَيْنِ أَمِينَيْنِ: أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنَ، وَزَكَرِيَّا بْنَ يَبْرَخْيَا». ٢ 2
and I will take unto Me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.'
فَٱقْتَرَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلنَّبِيَّةِ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا. فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ مَهَيْرَ شَلَالَ حَاشَ بَزَ. ٣ 3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD unto me: 'Call his name Maher-shalal-hashbaz.
لِأَنَّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ: يَا أَبِي وَيَا أُمِّي، تُحْمَلُ ثَرْوَةُ دِمَشْقَ وَغَنِيمَةُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ قُدَّامَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ». ٤ 4
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'
ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا قَائِلًا: ٥ 5
And the LORD spoke unto me yet again, saying:
«لِأَنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ رَذَلَ مِيَاهَ شِيلُوهَ ٱلْجَارِيَةَ بِسُكُوتٍ، وَسُرَّ بِرَصِينَ وَٱبْنِ رَمَلْيَا. ٦ 6
Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoiceth with Rezin and Remaliah's son;
لِذَلِكَ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ يُصْعِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِيَاهَ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةَ وَٱلْكَثِيرَةَ، مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ وَكُلَّ مَجْدِهِ، فَيَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ مَجَارِيهِ وَيَجْرِي فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ شُطُوطِهِ، ٧ 7
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, mighty and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks;
وَيَنْدَفِقُ إِلَى يَهُوذَا. يَفِيضُ وَيَعْبُرُ. يَبْلُغُ ٱلْعُنُقَ. وَيَكُونُ بَسْطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ مِلْءَ عَرْضِ بِلَادِكَ يَا عِمَّانُوئِيلُ». ٨ 8
And he shall sweep through Judah overflowing as he passeth through he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
هِيجُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ وَٱنْكَسِرُوا، وَأَصْغِي يَاجَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱحْتَزِمُوا وَٱنْكَسِرُوا! ٱحْتَزِمُوا وَٱنْكَسِرُوا! ٩ 9
Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
تَشَاوَرُوا مَشُورَةً فَتَبْطُلَ. تَكَلَّمُوا كَلِمَةً فَلَا تَقُومُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَعَنَا. ١٠ 10
Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.
فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ بِشِدَّةِ ٱلْيَدِ، وَأَنْذَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أَسْلُكَ فِي طَرِيقِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: ١١ 11
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, admonishing me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
«لَا تَقُولُوا: فِتْنَةً لِكُلِّ مَا يَقُولُ لَهُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ فِتْنَةً، وَلَا تَخَافُوا خَوْفَهُ وَلَا تَرْهَبُوا. ١٢ 12
'Say ye not: A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people do say: A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor account it dreadful.
قَدِّسُوا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فَهُوَ خَوْفُكُمْ وَهُوَ رَهْبَتُكُمْ. ١٣ 13
The LORD of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
وَيَكُونُ مَقْدِسًا وَحَجَرَ صَدْمَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ عَثْرَةٍ لِبَيْتَيْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفَخًّا وَشَرَكًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٤ 14
And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
فَيَعْثُرُ بِهَا كَثِيرُونَ وَيَسْقُطُونَ، فَيَنْكَسِرُونَ وَيَعْلَقُونَ فَيُلْقَطُونَ». ١٥ 15
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.'
صُرَّ ٱلشِّهَادَةَ. ٱخْتِمِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ بِتَلَامِيذِي. ١٦ 16
'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction among My disciples.'
فَأَصْطَبِرُ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلسَّاتِرِ وَجْهَهُ عَنْ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَنْتَظِرُهُ. ١٧ 17
And I will wait for the LORD, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him.
هَأَنَذَا وَٱلْأَوْلَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَعْطَانِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. ١٨ 18
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
وَإِذَا قَالُوا لَكُمُ: «ٱطْلُبُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِ ٱلتَّوَابِعِ وَٱلْعَرَّافِينَ ٱلْمُشَقْشِقِينَ وَٱلْهَامِسِينَ». «أَلَا يَسْأَلُ شَعْبٌ إِلَهَهُ؟ أَيُسْأَلُ ٱلْمَوْتَى لِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ؟» ١٩ 19
And when they shall say unto you: 'Seek unto the ghosts and the familiar spirits, that chirp and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living unto the dead
إِلَى ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَإِلَى ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. إِنْ لَمْ يَقُولُوا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ فَجْرٌ! ٢٠ 20
for instruction and for testimony?' — Surely they will speak according to this word, wherein there is no light. —
فَيَعْبُرُونَ فِيهَا مُضَايَقِينَ وَجَائِعِينَ. وَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا يَجُوعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْنَقُونَ وَيَسُبُّونَ مَلِكَهُمْ وَإِلَهَهُمْ وَيَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى فَوْقُ. ٢١ 21
And they shall pass this way that are sore bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and, whether they turn their faces upward,
وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا شِدَّةٌ وَظُلْمَةٌ، قَتَامُ ٱلضِّيقِ، وَإِلَى ٱلظَّلَامِ هُمْ مَطْرُودُونَ. ٢٢ 22
or look unto the earth, behold distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and outspread thick darkness.
