Isaiah 14

1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.

1 وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُنْعِمُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَصْطَفِي شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً وَيُحِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، فَيَنْضَمُّ الْغُرَبَاءُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَلْحَقُونَ بِبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ.

2 The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.

2 وَتَمُدُّ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ إِلَيْهِمْ يَدَ الْعَوْنِ لِيُسَاعِدُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْعَوْدَةِ لِدِيَارِهِ. وَيَصِيرُونَ عَبِيداً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فِي أَرْضِ الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى آسِرِيهِمْ وَظَالِمِيهِمْ.

3 On the day that the LORD gives you rest from your pain and torment, and from the hard labor into which you were forced,

3 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُرِيحُكُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عَنَائِكُمْ وَشَقَائِكُمْ وَعُبُودِيَّتِكُمُ الْقَاسِيَةِ،

4 you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased, and how his fury has ended!

4 فَتَسْخَرُونَ مِنْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ قَائِلِينَ: كَيْفَ اسْتَكَانَ الظَّالِمُ، وَكَيْفَ خَمَدَتْ غَضْبَتُهُ الْمُتَعَجْرِفَةُ؟

5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.

5 قَدْ حَطَّمَ الرَّبُّ عَصَا الْمُنَافِقِ وَصَوْلَجَانَ الْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ،

6 It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.

6 الَّذِينَ انْهَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ ضَرْباً بِسَخَطٍ لَا يَتَوَقَّفُ؛ الَّذِينَ تَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى الأُمَمِ بِغَضَبٍ وَاضْطِهَادٍ شَدِيدٍ.

7 All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.

7 فَاسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا وَسَادَهَا الْهُدُوءُ، فَتَغَنَّتْ شُعُوبُهَا تَرَنُّماً.

8 Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”

8 حَتَّى شَجَرُ السَّرْوِ وَأَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ عَمَّهَا الْفَرَحُ فَقَالَتْ: «مُنْذُ أَنِ انْكَسَرَتْ شَوْكَتُكَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَيْنَا قَاطِعُ حَطَبٍ»

9 Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you—all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.

9 ثَارَتِ الْهَاوِيَةُ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِكَ عِنْدَ قُدُومِكَ وَحَشَدَتِ الأَخْيِلَةَ، مِنْ كُلِّ الْعُظَمَاءِ، لِتَحِيَّتِكَ؛ أَنْهَضَتْ كُلَّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ عَنْ عُرُوشِهِمْ

10 They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”

10 كُلُّهُمْ يُخَاطِبُونَكَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ صِرْتَ ضَعِيفاً مِثْلَنَا، أَصْبَحْتَ مُمَاثِلاً لَنَا!»

11 Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket.

11 طُرِحَتْ كُلُّ عَظَمَتِكَ فِي الْهَاوِيَةِ مَعَ رَنَّةِ عِيدَانِكَ، وَأَصْبَحَتِ الرِّمَمُ فِرَاشَكَ وَالدُّودُ غِطَاءً لَكَ!

12 How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations.

12 كَيْفَ هَوَيْتِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَا زُهَرَةُ بِنْتَ الصُّبْحِ؟ كَيْفَ قُطِعْتَ وَطُرِحْتَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَا قَاهِرَ الأُمَمِ؟

13 You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.

13 قَدْ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: «إِنِّي أَرْتَقِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَرْفَعُ عَرْشِي فَوْقَ كَوَاكِبِ اللهِ، وَأَجْلِسُ عَلَى جَبَلِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي أَقْصَى الشِّمَالِ

14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

14 أَرْتَقِي فَوْقَ أَعَالِي السَّحَابِ، وَأُصْبِحُ مِثْلَ الْعَلِيِّ».

15 But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.

15 وَلَكِنَّكَ طُرِحْتَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ، إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ.

16 Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,

16 وَالَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَكَ يُحَمْلِقُونَ فِيكَ وَيَتَأَمَّلُونَ مُتَسَائِلِينَ: «أَهَذَا هُوَ الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي زَعْزَعَ الأَرْضَ وَهَزَّ الْمَمَالِكَ؟

17 who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”

17 الَّذِي حَوَّلَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ إِلَى مِثْلِ الْقَفْرِ، وَقَلَبَ مُدُنَهَا، وَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ أَسْرَاهُ لِيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟»

18 All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.

18 لَقَدْ رَقَدَ كُلُّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ بِكَرَامَةٍ، كُلٌّ فِي ضَرِيحِهِ،

19 But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.

19 أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ طُرِحْتَ بَعِيداً عَنْ قَبْرِكَ كَغُصْنٍ مَكْسُورٍ تُغَطِّيكَ رِمَمُ قَتْلَى الْمَعَارِكِ الَّذِينَ انْحَدَرُوا إِلَى مَقَرِّ الْمَوْتَى، وَصِرْتَ كَجَثَّةٍ دَاسَتْهَا حَوَافِرُ الْخَيْلِ

20 You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.

20 لَا تَنْضَمُّ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي مَدْفَنٍ، لأَنَّكَ خَرَّبْتَ أَرْضَكَ، وَذَبَحْتَ شَعْبَكَ، فَذُرِّيَّةُ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ يَبِيدُ ذِكْرُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

21 Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.

21 أَعِدُّوا مَذْبَحَةً لأَبْنَائِهِ جَزَاءَ إِثْمِ آبَائِهِمْ، لِئَلَّا يَقُومُوا وَيَرِثُوا الأَرْضَ فَيَمْلأُوا وَجْهَ الْبَسِيطَةِ مُدُناً.

22 “I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,” declares the LORD.

22 «إِنِّي أَهُبُّ ضِدَّهُمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، «وَأَمْحُو مِنْ بَابِلَ اسْماً وَبَقِيَّةً وَنَسْلاً وَذُرِّيَّةً،

23 “I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

23 وَأَجْعَلُهَا مِيرَاثاً لِلْقَنَافِذِ، وَمُسْتَنْقَعَاتٍ لِلْمِيَاهِ، وَأَكْنِسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ الدَّمَارِ».

24 The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.

24 لَقَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ قَائِلاً: «حَقّاً مَا عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ، وَمَا نَوَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتْماً يَتِمُّ:

25 I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”

25 أَنْ أُحَطِّمَ أَشُورَ فِي أَرْضِي وَأَطَأَهُ عَلَى جِبَالِي، فَيُلْقِيَ عَنْهُمْ نِيرَهُ، وَيَزُولَ عَنْ كَاهِلِهِمْ حِمْلُهُ.

26 This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations.

26 هَذَا هُوَ الْقَضَاءُ الَّذِي حَكَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، وَهَذِهِ هِي الْيَدُ الَّتِي امْتَدَّتْ عَلَى كُلِّ الأُمَمِ.

27 The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?

27 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ قَضَى، فَمَنْ يُبْطِلُ قَضَاءَهُ؟ وَيَدُهُ قَدِ امْتَدَّتْ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟»

28 In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:

28 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ لإِشَعْيَاءَ:

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.

29 «لا تَفْرَحِي يَا كُلَّ فِلِسْطِينَ، لأَنَّ الْقَضِيبَ الَّذِي ضَرَبَكِ قَدِ انْكَسَرَ. فَإِنَّ مِنْ أَصْلِ تِلْكَ الأَفْعَى يَخْرُجُ أُفْعُوَانٌ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ تَكُونُ ثُعْبَاناً سَامّاً طَيَّاراً

30 Then the firstborn of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety, but I will kill your root by famine, and your remnant will be slain.

30 أَمَّا أَبْكَارُ الْبَائِسِينَ فَيَرْعَوْنَ، وَالْمَسَاكِينُ يَرْبِضُونَ آمِنِينَ. لَكِنَّنِي أُهْلِكُ أَصْلَكِ بِالْمَجَاعَةِ وَأَقْضِي عَلَى بَقِيَّتِكِ.

31 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.

31 وَلْوِلْ أَيُّهَا البَابُ وَنُوحِي أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ! ذُوبِي خَوْفاً يَا فِلِسْطِينُ قَاطِبَةً لأَنَّ جَيْشاً مُدَرَّباً قَدْ زَحَفَ نَحْوَكِ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ

32 What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”

32 فَبِمَاذَا نُجِيبُ رُسُلَ الأُمَّةِ؟ لِتَقُلْ لَهُمْ: قَدْ أَسَّسَ الرَّبُّ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَلُوذَ بِها مَنْكُوبُو شَعْبِهِ».
