Isaiah 22

1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

1 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا: فَمَا لَكِ أَنَّكِ صَعِدْتِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى ٱلسُّطُوحِ،

2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.

2 يَا مَلآنَةُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلَبَةِ، ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَجَّاجَةُ، ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْمُفْتَخِرَةُ؟ قَتْلَاكِ لَيْسَ هُمْ قَتْلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ وَلَا مَوْتَى ٱلْحَرْبِ.

3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

3 جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِكِ هَرَبُوا مَعًا. أُسِرُوا بِٱلْقِسِيِّ. كُلُّ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ بِكِ أُسِرُوا مَعًا. مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَرُّوا.

4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

4 لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: «ٱقْتَصِرُوا عَنِّي، فَأَبْكِي بِمَرَارَةٍ. لَا تُلِحُّوا بِتَعْزِيَتِي عَنْ خَرَابِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي».

5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

5 إِنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا يَوْمَ شَغبٍ وَدَوْسٍ وَٱرْتِبَاكٍ. نَقْبُ سُورٍ وَصُرَاخٌ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.

6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

6 فَعِيلَامُ قَدْ حَمَلَتِ ٱلْجَعْبَةَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِ رِجَالٍ فُرْسَانٍ، وَقِيرُ قَدْ كَشَفَتِ ٱلْمِجَنَّ.

7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.

7 فَتَكُونُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْدِيَتِكِ مَلآنَةً مَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَٱلْفُرْسَانُ تَصْطَفُّ ٱصْطِفَافًا نَحْوَ ٱلْبَابِ.

8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.

8 وَيَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ يَهُوذَا، فَتَنْظُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى أَسْلِحَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

9 وَرَأَيْتُمْ شُقُوقَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّهَا صَارَتْ كَثِيرَةً، وَجَمَعْتُمْ مِيَاهَ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلسُّفْلَى.

10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.

10 وَعَدَدْتُمْ بُيُوتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمْتُمُ ٱلْبُيُوتَ لِتَحْصِينِ ٱلسُّورِ.

11 You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.

11 وَصَنَعْتُمْ خَنْدَقًا بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ لِمِيَاهِ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلْعَتِيقَةِ. لَكِنْ لَمْ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى صَانِعِهِ، وَلَمْ تَرَوْا مُصَوِّرَهُ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ.

12 On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.

12 وَدَعَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى ٱلْبُكَاءِ وَٱلنَّوْحِ وَٱلْقَرَعَةِ وَٱلتَّنَطُّقِ بِٱلْمِسْحِ،

13 But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

13 فَهُوَذَا بَهْجَةٌ وَفَرَحٌ، ذَبْحُ بَقَرٍ وَنَحْرُ غَنَمٍ، أَكْلُ لَحْمٍ وَشُرْبُ خَمْرٍ! «لِنَأْكُلْ وَنَشْرَبْ، لِأَنَّنَا غَدًا نَمُوتُ».

14 The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.

14 فَأَعْلَنَ فِي أُذُنَيَّ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «لَا يُغْفَرَنَّ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ حَتَّى تَمُوتُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

15 This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:

15 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى هَذَا جَلِيسِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى شِبْنَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ:

16 What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?

16 مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا؟ وَمَنْ لَكَ هَهُنَا حَتَّى نَقَرْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ هَهُنَا قَبْرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاقِرُ فِي ٱلْعُلُوِّ قَبْرَهُ، ٱلنَّاحِتُ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ مَسْكَنًا؟

17 Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

17 هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَطْرَحُكَ طَرْحًا يَا رَجُلُ، وَيُغَطِّيكَ تَغْطِيَةً.

18 roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.

18 يَلُفُّكَ لَفَّ لَفِيفَةٍ كَٱلْكُرَةِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةِ ٱلطَّرَفَيْنِ. هُنَاكَ تَمُوتُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَكُونُ مَرْكَبَاتُ مَجْدِكَ، يَا خِزْيَ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكَ.

19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.

19 وَأَطْرُدُكَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِكَ، وَمِنْ مَقَامِكَ يَحُطُّكَ.

20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

20 «وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَدْعُو عَبْدِي أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ حِلْقِيَّا

21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

21 وَأُلْبِسُهُ ثَوْبَكَ، وَأَشُدُّهُ بِمِنْطَقَتِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ سُلْطَانَكَ فِي يَدِهِ، فَيَكُونُ أَبًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.

22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

22 وَأَجْعَلُ مِفْتَاحَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، فَيَفْتَحُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُغْلِقُ، وَيُغْلِقُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْتَحُ.

23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.

23 وَأُثَبِّتُهُ وَتَدًا فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ، وَيَكُونُ كُرْسِيَّ مَجْدٍ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيهِ.

24 So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.

24 وَيُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَجْدِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ، ٱلْفُرُوعَ وَٱلْقُضْبَانَ، كُلَّ آنِيَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ ٱلطُّسُوسِ إِلَى آنِيَةِ ٱلْقَنَّانِيِّ جَمِيعًا.

25 In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

25 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يَزُولُ ٱلْوَتَدُ ٱلْمُثْبَتُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ وَيُقْطَعُ وَيَسْقُطُ. وَيُبَادُ ٱلثِّقْلُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».
