< إِشَعْيَاءَ 8 >

وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لَوْحًا كَبِيرًا، وَٱكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ بِقَلَمِ إِنْسَانٍ: لِمَهَيْرَ شَلَالَ حَاشَ بَزَ. ١ 1
The LORD said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
وَأَنْ أُشْهِدَ لِنَفْسِي شَاهِدَيْنِ أَمِينَيْنِ: أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنَ، وَزَكَرِيَّا بْنَ يَبْرَخْيَا». ٢ 2
and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: 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
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’
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 knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا قَائِلًا: ٥ 5
The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
«لِأَنَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ رَذَلَ مِيَاهَ شِيلُوهَ ٱلْجَارِيَةَ بِسُكُوتٍ، وَسُرَّ بِرَصِينَ وَٱبْنِ رَمَلْيَا. ٦ 6
“Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in 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 brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
وَيَنْدَفِقُ إِلَى يَهُوذَا. يَفِيضُ وَيَعْبُرُ. يَبْلُغُ ٱلْعُنُقَ. وَيَكُونُ بَسْطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ مِلْءَ عَرْضِ بِلَادِكَ يَا عِمَّانُوئِيلُ». ٨ 8
It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel.
هِيجُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ وَٱنْكَسِرُوا، وَأَصْغِي يَاجَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱحْتَزِمُوا وَٱنْكَسِرُوا! ٱحْتَزِمُوا وَٱنْكَسِرُوا! ٩ 9
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
تَشَاوَرُوا مَشُورَةً فَتَبْطُلَ. تَكَلَّمُوا كَلِمَةً فَلَا تَقُومُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَعَنَا. ١٠ 10
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will 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 this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to 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
“Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.
قَدِّسُوا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فَهُوَ خَوْفُكُمْ وَهُوَ رَهْبَتُكُمْ. ١٣ 13
The LORD of Hosts is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
وَيَكُونُ مَقْدِسًا وَحَجَرَ صَدْمَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ عَثْرَةٍ لِبَيْتَيْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفَخًّا وَشَرَكًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٤ 14
He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.
فَيَعْثُرُ بِهَا كَثِيرُونَ وَيَسْقُطُونَ، فَيَنْكَسِرُونَ وَيَعْلَقُونَ فَيُلْقَطُونَ». ١٥ 15
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
صُرَّ ٱلشِّهَادَةَ. ٱخْتِمِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ بِتَلَامِيذِي. ١٦ 16
Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples.
فَأَصْطَبِرُ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلسَّاتِرِ وَجْهَهُ عَنْ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَنْتَظِرُهُ. ١٧ 17
I will wait for the LORD, who hides 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 has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.
وَإِذَا قَالُوا لَكُمُ: «ٱطْلُبُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِ ٱلتَّوَابِعِ وَٱلْعَرَّافِينَ ٱلْمُشَقْشِقِينَ وَٱلْهَامِسِينَ». «أَلَا يَسْأَلُ شَعْبٌ إِلَهَهُ؟ أَيُسْأَلُ ٱلْمَوْتَى لِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ؟» ١٩ 19
When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
إِلَى ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَإِلَى ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. إِنْ لَمْ يَقُولُوا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ فَجْرٌ! ٢٠ 20
Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
فَيَعْبُرُونَ فِيهَا مُضَايَقِينَ وَجَائِعِينَ. وَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا يَجُوعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْنَقُونَ وَيَسُبُّونَ مَلِكَهُمْ وَإِلَهَهُمْ وَيَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى فَوْقُ. ٢١ 21
They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,
وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا شِدَّةٌ وَظُلْمَةٌ، قَتَامُ ٱلضِّيقِ، وَإِلَى ٱلظَّلَامِ هُمْ مَطْرُودُونَ. ٢٢ 22
then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
