إشَعْياء 19

١ 1 نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ مِصْرَ: هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قَادِمٌ إِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْكَبُ سَحَابَةً سَرِيعَةً، فَتَرْتَجِفُ أَوْثَانُ مِصْرَ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ، وَتَذُوبُ قُلُوبُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ.

The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.

٢ 2 وَأُثِيرُ مِصْرِيِّينَ عَلَى مِصْرِيِّينَ فَيَتَحَارَبُونَ، وَيَقُومُ الْوَاحِدُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالْمَمْلَكَةُ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ،

And I will incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

٣ 3 فَتَذُوبُ أَرْوَاحُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ، وَأُبْطِلُ مَشُورَتَهُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُونَ الأَوْثَانَ وَالسَّحَرَةَ وَأَصْحَابَ التَّوَابِعِ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

٤ 4 وَأُسَلِّطُ عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مَوْلىً قَاسياً، فَيَسُودُ مَلِكٌ عَنِيفٌ عَلَيْهِم. هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

٥ 5 وَتَنْضُبُ مِيَاهُ النِّيلِ وَتَجِفُّ الأَحْوَاضُ وَتَيْبَسُ.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;

٦ 6 تُنْتِنُ الْقَنَوَاتُ، وَتَتَنَاقَصُ تَفَرُّعَاتُ النِّيلِ وَتَجِفُّ، وَيَتْلَفُ الْقَصَبُ وَالْبَرْدِيُّ.

and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.

٧ 7 وَتَذْبُلُ النَّبَاتَاتُ عَلَى ضِفَافِ نَهْرِ النِّيلِ، وَالْحُقُولُ وَالْمَزْرُوعَاتُ كُلُّهَا تَجِفُّ، وَكَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ مُخْضَرَّةً.

The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].

٨ 8 فَيَئِنُّ الصَّيَّادُونَ وَطَارِحُو الشُّصُوصِ فِي النِّيلِ وَيَنُوحُونَ وَيَتَحَسَّرُ الَّذِينَ يُلْقُونَ شِبَاكَهُمْ فِي الْمِيَاهِ.

And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.

٩ 9 وَيَتَوَلَّى الْيَأْسُ قُلُوبَ الَّذِينَ يَصْنَعُونَ الْكَتَّانَ الْمُمَشَّطَ، وَيَفْقِدُ حَائِكُو الْكَتَّانِ الْفَاخِرِ كُلَّ أَمَلٍ.

And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.

١٠ 10 وَيُسْحَقُ الرِّجَالُ، وَهُمْ أَعْمِدَةُ الأَرْضِ، وَيَكْتَئِبُ كُلُّ عَامِلٍ أَجِيرٍ.

And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.

١١ 11 رُؤَسَاءُ صُوعَنَ حَمْقَى، وَمَشُورَاتُ أَحْكَمِ حُكَمَاءِ فِرْعَوْنَ غَبِيَّةٌ. كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ نَحْنُ مِنْ نَسْلِ حُكَمَاءَ، وَأَبْنَاءُ مُلُوكٍ قُدَامَى؟

They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

١٢ 12 أَيْنَ حُكَمَاؤُكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُطْلِعُوكَ عَلَى مَا قَضَى بِهِ الرَّبُّ الْقْدِيرُ عَلَى مِصْرَ؟

Where are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

١٣ 13 قَدْ حَمِقَ رُؤَسَاءُ صُوْعَنَ وَانْخَدَعَ أُمَرَاءُ نُوفَ وَأَضَلَّ مِصْرَ شُرَفَاءُ قَبَائِلِهَا

The princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.

١٤ 14 جَعَلَ الرَّبُّ فِيهَا رُوحَ فَوْضَى، فَأَضَلُّوا مِصْرَ فِى كُلِّ تَصَرُّفَاتِهَا، حَتَّى تَرَنَّحَتْ كَتَرَنُّحِ السَّكْرَانِ فِي قَيْئِهِ.

Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.

١٥ 15 فَلَمْ يَبْقَ لِعُظَمَائِهَا أَوْ أَدْنِيَائِهَا مَا يَفْعَلُونَهُ فِيهَا.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

١٦ 16 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَرْتَعِدُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ كَالنِّسَاءِ خَوْفاً مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ الَّتِي يَهُزُّهَا فَوْقَهُمْ.

In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

١٧ 17 وتَغْدُو أَرْضُ يَهُوذَا مَثَارَ رُعْبٍ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فَيَعْتَرِيهَا الْفَزَعُ مِنْ ذِكْرِهَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ قَضَى قَضَاءَهُ عَلَى مِصْرَ.

And the land of Judah shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed against it.

١٨ 18 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ خَمْسُ مُدُنٍ تَنْطِقُ بِلُغَةِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَحْلِفُ بِالْوَلاءِ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، وَتُدْعَى إِحْدَاهَا مَدِينَةَ الشَّمْسِ.

In that day shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.

١٩ 19 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُقَامُ مَذْبَحٌ لِلرَّبِّ فِي وَسَطِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ نُصُبٌ لِلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ تُخُومِهَا،

In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:

٢٠ 20 فَيَكُونُ عَلامَةً وَشَهَادَةً لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِالرَّبِّ مِنْ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ، فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ مُخَلِّصاً وَمُدَافِعاً يُنْقِذُهُمْ.

and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.

٢١ 21 فَيُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ نَفْسَهُ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَعْبُدُونَهُ وَيُقَدِّمُونَ ذَبِيحَةً وَقَرَابِينَ وَيَنْذِرُونَ لِلرَّبِّ نُذُوراً وَيُوفُونَ بِها.

And Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform it.

٢٢ 22 وَيَضْرِبُ الرَّبُّ مِصْرَ؛ يَضْرِبُهَا وَيُبْرِئُهَا، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهَا تَائِبِينَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ دُعَاءَهُمْ وَيَشْفِيهِمْ.

And Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.

٢٣ 23 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَمْتَدُّ طَرِيقٌ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، وَمِنْ أَشُّورَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَيَعْبُدُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَالأَشُّورِيُّونَ الرَّبَّ مَعاً.

In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.

٢٤ 24 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ثَالِثَ ثَلاثَةٍ مَعَ مِصْرَ وَأَشُّورَ، وَبَرَكَةً فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ،

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

٢٥ 25 فَيُبَارِكُهُمُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ قَائِلاً: «مُبَارَكٌ شَعْبِي مِصْرُ، وَصَنْعَةُ يَدِي أَشُّورُ، وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلُ».

whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!
