Isaiah 2

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

1 اَلْأُمُورُ ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ مِنْ جِهَةِ 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 وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

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 وَتَسِيرُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 ٱلْأُمَمِ وَيُنْصِفُ لِشُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

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

5 يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَلُمَّ فَنَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 فَإِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ شَعْبَكَ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱمْتَلَأُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُمْ عَائِفُونَ كَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيُصَافِحُونَ أَوْلَادَ ٱلْأَجَانِبِ.

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 وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ خَيْلًا وَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ.

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

8 وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ أَوْثَانًا. يَسْجُدُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِمَا صَنَعَتْهُ أَصَابِعُهُمْ.

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

9 وَيَنْخَفِضُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، وَيَنْطَرِحُ ٱلرَّجُلُ، فَلَا تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ.

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

10 اُدْخُلْ إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ وَٱخْتَبِئْ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ.

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 تُوضَعُ عَيْنَا تَشَامُخِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَتُخْفَضُ رِفْعَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

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 لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَوْمًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَعَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُرْتَفِعٍ فَيُوضَعُ،

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

13 وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ ٱلْعَالِي ٱلْمُرْتَفِعِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،

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

14 وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلتِّلَالِ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،

15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

15 وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُورٍ مَنِيعٍ،

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

16 وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَعْلَامِ ٱلْبَهِجَةِ.

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 فَيُخْفَضُ تَشَامُخُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَتُوضَعُ رِفْعَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

18 and the idols will vanish completely.

18 وَتَزُولُ ٱلْأَوْثَانُ بِتَمَامِهَا.

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 وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي مَغَايِرِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، وَفِي حَفَائِرِ ٱلتُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ، عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

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 ٱلْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ أَوْثَانَهُ ٱلْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَوْثَانَهُ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةَ، ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا لَهُ لِلسُّجُودِ، لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَٱلْخَفَافِيشِ،

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 لِيَدْخُلَ فِي نُقَرِ ٱلصُّخُورِ وَفِي شُقُوقِ ٱلْمَعَاقِلِ، مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

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

22 كُفُّوا عَنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يُحْسَبُ؟
