إشَعْياء 34

١ 1 اقْتَرِبُوا أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ لِلاسْتِمَاعِ، أَصْغُوْا أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ. لِتَسْمَعِ الأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا، الْمَسْكُونَةُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا،

Come near ye nations to hear, And, ye races, attend, —Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world and all things produced therefrom:

٢ 2 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَاخِطٌ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ، وَغَضَبُهُ مُنْصَبٌّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَجْنَادِهِمْ. قَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْفَنَاءِ، وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ،

That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host, —He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter;

٣ 3 فَتُطْرَحُ قَتْلاَهُمْ وَيَنْتَشِرُ نَتْنُ جِيَفِهِمْ فِي الْفَضَاءِ، وَتَفِيضُ الْجِبَالُ بِدِمَائِهِمْ،

And their slain shall be cast out, And their carcases, the stench of them shall ascend, —And, the mountains, shall melt away with their blood.

٤ 4 وَتَنْحَلُّ كُلُّ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ، وَتُطْوَى السَّمَاوَاتُ كَدَرْجٍ، وَتَتَسَاقَطُ كُلُّ نُجُومِهَا كَتَسَاقُطِ أَوْرَاقِ الْكَرْمَةِ أَوْ حَبَّاتِ التِّينِ الْمُتَغَضِّنَةِ.

Then shall be dissolved all the host of the heavens, And the heavens shall roll up as a scroll, —Yea, all their host, shall fade—Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig-tree.

٥ 5 لأَنَّ سَيْفِي قَدْ تَشَرَّبَ بِالسَّخَطِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهَا هُوَ يَنْزِلُ لِيُعَاقِبَ أَدُومَ، وَيَنْتَقِمَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي قَضَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالفَنَاءِ.

For my sword hath been sated in the heavens, —Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice.

٦ 6 لِلرَّبِّ سَيْفٌ مُشْبَعٌ بِالدَّمِ، مَطْلِيٌّ بِالشَّحْمِ، بِدَمِ حُمْلاَنٍ وَتُيُوسٍ، وَبِشَحْمِ كُلَى كِبَاشٍ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ذَبِيحَةً فِي بُصْرَةَ، وَمَذْبَحَةً فِي أَدُومَ.

A sword, hath Yahweh—Glutted with blood Sated with fat, —With the blood of well-fed lambs and he-goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams, —For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter in the land of Edom;

٧ 7 وَيَسْقُطُ مَعَهُمُ الْبَقَرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ، وَالْعُجُولُ وَالثِّيرَانُ الْقَوِيَّةُ، فَتَتَشَبَّعُ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالدِّمَاءِ، وَيُخْصِبُ تُرَابُهُمْ بِالشَّحْمِ،

Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, —So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched.

٨ 8 لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ يَوْمَ انْتِقَامٍ، سَنَةَ ثَأْرٍ لِدَعْوَى صِهْيَوْنَ،

For a day of avenging, hath Yahweh, —A year of requitals for the quarrel of Zion.

٩ 9 فَتَنْقَلِبُ أَنْهَارُ أَدُومَ إِلَى زِفْتٍ، وَتُرَابُهُمْ إِلَى كِبْرِيتٍ، وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُهَا قَاراً مُشْتَعِلاً.

Then shall the torrents thereof be turned into pitch, And the dust thereof, into brimstone, —So shall her land become burning pitch:

١٠ 10 فَلاَ تَنْطَفِئُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، وَيُحَلِّقُ دُخَانُهَا إِلَى الْفَضَاءِ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ، وَتَظَلُّ خَرَاباً جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ، فَلاَ يَعْبُرُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ،

Neither night nor day, shall it be quenched, To times age-abiding, shall ascend the smoke thereof, —From generation to generation, shall it be waste, Never, never, shall any pass through it:

١١ 11 وَلاَ يَرِثُهَا سِوَى الصُّقُورِ وَالْقَنَافِذِ، وَيَسْكُنُ فِيهَا الْبُومُ وَالْغُرَابُ، وَيَمُدُّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهَا خَيْطَ الدَّمَارِ وَمِطْمَارَ الْهَلاَكِ،

That the vomiting pelican and the bittern may possess it: And the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it The line of desolation, and The plummet of emptiness.

١٢ 12 وَلاَ يَجِدُ فِيهَا أَشْرَافُهَا أَثَراً لِلْمَلِكِ، وَيَنْقَرِضُ جَميِعُ رُؤَسَائِهَا.

Her nobles (but none, are, there)! unto royalty, will call, —All, all her princes, shall become nought.

١٣ 13 يَنْمُو الشَّوْكُ فِي قُصُورِهَا، وَيَزْحَفُ الْعَوْسَجُ عَلَى حُصُونِهَا، فَتُصْبِحُ مَأْوىً لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَمَسْكِناً لِلنَّعَامِ.

Then shall come up, in her palaces thorns Nettles and thistles in her fortresses, —And she shall become A home for wild dogs, An enclosure for ostriches;

١٤ 14 وَتَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْوُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ مَعَ الذِّئَابِ، وَوَعْلُ الْبَرِّ يَدْعُو صَاحِبَهُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَسْتَقِرُّ وُحُوشُ اللَّيْلِ وَتَجِدُ لِنَفْسِهَا مَلاَذَ رَاحَةٍ.

Then shall criers meet with howlers, And, the shaggy creature, unto his fellow, shall call, —Only, there, shall, the night-spectre, Make her settlement, And find for herself a place of rest:

١٥ 15 هُنَاكَ تَعِيشُ الْبُومُ وَتَبِيضُ وَتُفْرِخُ وَتَرْعَى صِغَارَهَا تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا، وَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً تَتَلاَقَى الصُّقُورُ بَعْضُهَا بِبَعْضٍ.

There, shall, the arrow-snake, Make her nest and lay, And hatch and gather under her shadow, —Only, there, shall be gathered the falcons, every one with her mate.

١٦ 16 ابْحَثُوا فِي سِفْرِ الرَّبِّ وَاقْرَأُوا: فَكَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَسْقُطَ، إِذْ كُلُّ أَلِيفٍ سَيَجْتَمِعُ بِأَلِيفِهِ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ أَمَرَ، وَرُوحَهُ يَجْمَعُهَا مَعاً.

Seek ye out of the scroll of Yahweh, and read, Not, one from among them, is lacking, None, hath missed, her mate, —For, a mouth, hath, itself commanded, And, his spirit, hath itself gathered them:

١٧ 17 فَهُوَ قَدْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا الْقُرْعَةَ، وَيَدُهُ قَدْ وَزَّعَتْهَا بِقِسْطَاسٍ، فَتَرِثُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَتُقِيمُ فِيهَا جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.

Yea he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And his own hand, hath given to them a portion by line, —Unto times age-abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.
