< إِشَعْيَاءَ 9 >

وَلَكِنْ لَا يَكُونُ ظَلَامٌ لِلَّتِي عَلَيْهَا ضِيقٌ. كَمَا أَهَانَ ٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَرْضَ زَبُولُونَ وَأَرْضَ نَفْتَالِي، يُكْرِمُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ طَرِيقَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عَبْرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، جَلِيلَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. ١ 1
The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish. In an earlier time he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the later time he will make it glorious, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
اَلشَّعْبُ ٱلسَّالِكُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ أَبْصَرَ نُورًا عَظِيمًا. ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ نُورٌ. ٢ 2
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who have lived in the land of the shadow of death, the light has shone on them.
أَكْثَرْتَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ. عَظَّمْتَ لَهَا ٱلْفَرَحَ. يَفْرَحُونَ أَمَامَكَ كَٱلْفَرَحِ فِي ٱلْحَصَادِ. كَٱلَّذِينَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ عِنْدَمَا يَقْتَسِمُونَ غَنِيمَةً. ٣ 3
You have multiplied the nation; you have increased their joy. They rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
لِأَنَّ نِيرَ ثِقْلِهِ، وَعَصَا كَتِفِهِ، وَقَضِيبَ مُسَخِّرِهِ كَسَّرْتَهُنَّ كَمَا فِي يَوْمِ مِدْيَانَ. ٤ 4
For the yoke of his burden, the beam across his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have shattered as on the day of Midian.
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ سِلَاحِ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّحِ فِي ٱلْوَغَى وَكُلَّ رِدَاءٍ مُدَحْرَجٍ فِي ٱلدِّمَاءِ، يَكُونُ لِلْحَرِيقِ، مَأْكَلًا لِلنَّارِ. ٥ 5
For every boot treading in the tumult and the garments rolled in blood will be burned, fuel for the fire.
لِأَنَّهُ يُولَدُ لَنَا وَلَدٌ وَنُعْطَى ٱبْنًا، وَتَكُونُ ٱلرِّيَاسَةُ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، وَيُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ عَجِيبًا، مُشِيرًا، إِلَهًا قَدِيرًا، أَبًا أَبَدِيًّا، رَئِيسَ ٱلسَّلَامِ. ٦ 6
For to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given; and the rule will be on his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
لِنُمُوِّ رِيَاسَتِهِ، وَلِلسَّلَامِ لَا نِهَايَةَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ، لِيُثَبِّتَهَا وَيَعْضُدَهَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْبِرِّ، مِنَ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. غَيْرَةُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا. ٧ 7
Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, as he rules on the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and for evermore. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
أَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَوْلًا فِي يَعْقُوبَ فَوَقَعَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٨ 8
The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ، أَفْرَايِمُ وَسُكَّانُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ بِكِبْرِيَاءَ وَبِعَظَمَةِ قَلْبٍ: ٩ 9
All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant heart,
«قَدْ هَبَطَ ٱللِّبْنُ فَنَبْنِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ. قُطِعَ ٱلْجُمَّيْزُ فَنَسْتَخْلِفُهُ بِأَرْزٍ». ١٠ 10
“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
فَيَرْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَخْصَامَ رَصِينَ عَلَيْهِ وَيُهَيِّجُ أَعْدَاءَهُ: ١١ 11
Therefore Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies,
ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ مِنْ قُدَّامُ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ وَرَاءُ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ ٱلْفَمِ. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ! ١٢ 12
the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
وَٱلشَّعْبُ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَى ضَارِبِهِ وَلَمْ يَطْلُبْ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. ١٣ 13
Yet the people will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts.
فَيَقْطَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّأْسَ وَٱلذَّنَبَ، ٱلنَّخْلَ وَٱلْأَسَلَ، فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ. ١٤ 14
Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
اَلشَّيْخُ وَٱلْمُعْتَبَرُ هُوَ ٱلرَّأْسُ، وَٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ هُوَ ٱلذَّنَبُ. ١٥ 15
The leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies is the tail.
وَصَارَ مُرْشِدُو هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مُضِلِّينَ، وَمُرْشَدُوهُ مُبْتَلَعِينَ. ١٦ 16
Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا يَفْرَحُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ بِفِتْيَانِهِ، وَلَا يَرْحَمُ يَتَامَاهُ وَأَرَامِلَهُ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مُنَافِقٌ وَفَاعِلُ شَرٍّ. وَكُلُّ فَمٍ مُتَكَلِّمٌ بِٱلْحَمَاقَةِ. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ! ١٧ 17
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْفُجُورَ يُحْرِقُ كَٱلنَّارِ، تَأْكُلُ ٱلشَّوْكَ وَٱلْحَسَكَ، وَتُشْعِلُ غَابَ ٱلْوَعْرِ فَتَلْتَفُّ عَمُودَ دُخَانٍ. ١٨ 18
Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest, which rise in a column of smoke.
بِسَخَطِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تُحْرَقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَيَكُونُ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَمَأْكَلٍ لِلنَّارِ. لَا يُشْفِقُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ. ١٩ 19
Through the fury of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire. No man spares his brother.
يَلْتَهِمُ عَلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ فَيَجُوعُ، وَيَأْكُلُ عَلَى ٱلشَّمَالِ فَلَا يَشْبَعُ. يَأْكُلُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لَحْمَ ذِرَاعِهِ: ٢٠ 20
They will grab food on the right hand but still be hungry; they will eat food on the left hand but will not be satisfied. Each will even eat the flesh of his own arm.
مَنَسَّى أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَفْرَايِمُ مَنَسَّى، وَهُمَا مَعًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا. مَعَ كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، بَلْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةٌ بَعْدُ! ٢١ 21
Manasseh will devour Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will attack Judah. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
