< Isaiah 32 >

1 Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
انْظُرُوا هَا إِنَّ مَلِكاً يَمْلِكُ بِالْبِرِّ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ يَحْكُمُونَ بِالْعَدْلِ.١
2 And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
وَيُصْبِحُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَمَلاذٍ مِنَ الرِّيحِ، وَكَمَلْجَأٍ مِنَ الْعَاصِفَةِ، أَوْ كَجَدَاوِلِ مِيَاهٍ فِي صَحْرَاءَ، أَوْ كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ جَدْبَاءَ.٢
3 The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَنْفَتِحُ عُيُونُ النَّاظِرِينَ، وَتُصْغِي آذَانُ السَّامِعِينَ (لاحْتِيَاجَاتِ شَعْبِهِمْ)٣
4 And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
فَتَفْهَمُ وَتَعْلَمُ الْعُقُولُ الْمُتَهَوِّرَةُ، تَنْطِقُ بِطَلاقَةٍ الأَلْسِنَةُ الثَّقِيلَةُ.٤
5 He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
وَلا يُدْعَى اللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيماً، وَلا يُقَالُ لِلْمَاكِرِ شَرِيفٌ،٥
6 For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
لأَنَّ اللَّئِيمَ يَنْطِقُ بِاللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَتَآمَرُ بِالإِثْمِ لِيَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً وَلِيَفْتَرِيَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، تَارِكاً الْمُتَضَوِّرَ جُوعاً مِنْ غَيْرِ شِبَعٍ، وَحَارِماً الظَّامِئَ مِنَ الشُّرْبِ.٦
7 The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
إِنَّ أَسَالِيبَ الْمَاكِرِ شِرِّيرَةٌ، وَمُؤَامَرَاتِهِ خَبِيثَةٌ لِيُهْلِكَ الْبَائِسِينَ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ الْمِسْكِينُ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ.٧
8 Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
أَمَّا الْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْمَآثِرِ يَفْتَكِرُ وَبِالْمَكَارِمِ يَشْتَهِرُ.٨
9 You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُتْرَفَاتُ الْمُتَكَاسِلاتُ، انْهَضْنَ وَاسْتَمِعْنَ إِلَى صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا الْبَنَاتُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ أَصْغِينَ إِلَى أَقْوَالِي.٩
10 For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
مَا تَكَادُ تَنْقَضِي أَيَّامٌ عَلَى سَنَةٍ حَتَّى تَعْتَرِيكُنَّ رِعْدَةٌ أَيَّتُهَا الآمِنَاتُ، لأَنَّ الْقِطَافَ قَدْ تَلِفَ، وَمَوْعِدَ جَنْيِ الأَثْمَارِ قَدْ أَخْلَفَ.١٠
11 Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
ارْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا النِّسَاءُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ وَارْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا الْفَتَيَاتُ الآمِنَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ مِنْ ثِيَابِكُنَّ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَمَنْطِقْنَ أَحْقَاءَكُنَّ بِالْمُسُوحِ.١١
12 Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
اضْرِبْنَ عَلَى صُدُورِكُنَّ حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْمُرُوجِ الْمُبْهِجَةِ وَالْكُرُومِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ.١٢
13 Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
لأَنَّ أَرْضَ شَعْبِي تُنْبِتُ الشَّوْكَ وَالْحَسَكَ، فَتَنْمُو حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ الْفَرَحِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُبْتَهِجَةِ.١٣
14 For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
لأَنَّ الْقَصْرَ يُصْبِحُ مَهْجُوراً، وَالْمُدُنَ الْعَامِرَةَ خَالِيَةً، وَالتِّلالَ وَالْبُرُوجَ مَغَاوِرَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَمَرَاحاً لِلْحَمِيرِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ وَمَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ،١٤
15 until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
حَتَّى يَنْسَكِبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَتَحَوَّلُ البَرِّيَّةُ إِلَى مَرْجٍ مُخْصِبٍ، وَيُحْسَبُ المَرْجُ غَابَةً.١٥
16 And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْكُنُ الْعَدْلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَيُقِيمُ الْبِرُّ فِي الْمَرْجِ الْمُخْصِبِ،١٦
17 And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
فَيَكُونُ ثَمَرُ الْبِرِّ سَلاماً، وَفِعْلُ الْبِرِّ سَكِينَةً وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ،١٧
18 And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
فَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي دِيَارِ سَلامٍ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ آمِنَةٍ، وَفِي أَمَاكِنَ رَاحَةٍ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ،١٨
19 But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
مَعَ أَنَّ الْبَرَدَ يُسَوِّي الْغَابَةَ بِالأَرْضِ، وَتُدَمَّرُ الْمَدِينَةُ حَتَّى الْحَضِيضِ.١٩
20 Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الزَّارِعُونَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَاءٍ، الَّذِينَ سَرَّحْتُمْ قَوَائِمَ الثَّوْرِ وَالْحِمَارِ لِتَرْعَى طَلِيقَةً.٢٠
