Isaiah 2

1 This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

1 الإِعْلانُ الَّذِي رَآهُ إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ بِشَأْنِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:

2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

2 وَيَحْدُثُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ، أَنَّ جَبَلَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُ أَسْمَى مِنْ كُلِّ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَعْلُو فَوْقَ كُلِّ التِّلالِ، فَتَتَوَافَدُ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ.

3 And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3 وَتُقْبِلُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَتَقُولُ: تَعَالَوْا لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا طُرُقَهُ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ، لأَنَّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعْلَنُ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ.

4 Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

4 فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ الْكَثِيرَةِ، فَيَصْنَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ مَحَارِيثَ وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ، وَلا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفاً، وَلا يَتَدَرَّبُونَ عَلَى الْحَرْبِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

5 Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

5 يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَيَّا لِنَسْلُكْ فِي نُورِ الرَّبِّ.

6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

6 فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ نَبَذْتَ شَعْبَكَ، بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، فَكَثُرَ بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَرَّافُونَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ، كَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَتَعَاهَدُوا مَعَ الْغُرَبَاءِ.

7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.

7 امْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً، وَكُنُوزُهُمْ لَا نِهَايَةَ لَهَا، وَامْتَلأَتْ بِلادُهُمْ بِالْخَيْلِ، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُمْ لَا تُحْصَى.

8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

8 امْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالأَصْنَامِ، وَعَبَدُوا صَنْعَةَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَسَجَدُوا لِعَمَلِ أَصَابِعِهِمْ.

9 So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled—do not forgive them!

9 لِذَلِكَ يَنْحَطُّ الإِنْسَانُ، وَيَذِلُّ الْبَشَرُ، وَلا تَصْفَحُ عَنْهُمْ.

10 Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.

10 اخْتَفِ فِي مَغَاوِرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَاخْتَبِئْ فِي حُفَرِ الأَرْضِ خَشْيَةً مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ جَلالِ مَجْدِهِ.

11 The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

11 فَعُيُونُ الْبَشَرِ الْمُتَشَامِخَةُ تُخْفَضُ، وَكِبْرِيَاؤُهُمْ تَذِلُّ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

12 For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted—it will be humbled—

12 فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ يَوْماً فِيهِ يُوْضَعُ كُلُّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَمُتَكَبِّرٍ وَمُتَغَطْرِسٍ.

13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

13 وَيَسْمُو عَلَى أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ الْمُتَعَالِي الشَّامِخِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،

14 against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,

14 وَعَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ أَشَمَّ، وَعَلَى التِّلالِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،

15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

15 وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَالٍ، وَسُورٍ حَصِينٍ،

16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.

16 وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ،

17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

17 فَيَعْتَرِي الْهَوَانُ غَطْرَسَةَ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُذَلُّ تَشَامُخُ الْبَشَرِ، وَيَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ،

18 and the idols will vanish completely.

18 وَتُبَادُ الأَصْنَامُ كُلُّهَا،

19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

19 وَيَلْجَأُ النَّاسُ إِلَى مَغَاوِرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَإِلَى حَفَائِرِ الأَرْضِ، مُتَوَارِينَ مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ جَلالِهِ، عِنْدَمَا يَهُبُّ لِيُزَلْزِلَ الأَرْضَ.

20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.

20 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ النَّاسُ لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَالْخَفَافِيشِ أَوْثَانَهُمُ الْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَصْنَامَهُمُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ الَّتِي صَنَعُوهَا لِيَعْبُدُوهَا،

21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

21 وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي كُهُوفِ الصَّخْرِ، وَفِي شُقُوقِ الْجُرُوفِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ هَرَباً مِنْ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ جَلالِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَهُبُّ لِيُزَلْزِلَ الأَرْضَ.

22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

22 كُفُّوا عَنِ الاتِّكَالِ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ الْمُعَرَّضِ لِلْمَوْتِ؛ فَأَيُّ قِيمَةٍ لَهُ؟
