Isaiah 3

1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,

1 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَنْزِعُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا ٱلسَّنَدَ وَٱلرُّكْنَ، كُلَّ سَنَدِ خُبْزٍ، وَكُلَّ سَنَدِ مَاءٍ.

2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,

2 ٱلْجَبَّارَ وَرَجُلَ ٱلْحَرْبِ. ٱلْقَاضِيَ وَٱلنَّبِيَّ وَٱلْعَرَّافَ وَٱلشَّيْخَ.

3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.

3 رَئِيسَ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ وَٱلْمُعْتَبَرَ وَٱلْمُشِيرَ، وَٱلْمَاهِرَ بَيْنَ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ، وَٱلْحَاذِقَ بِٱلرُّقْيَةِ.

4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”

4 وَأَجْعَلُ صُبْيَانًا رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ، وَأَطْفَالًا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.

5 وَيَظْلِمُ ٱلشَّعْبُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَٱلرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ. يَتَمَرَّدُ ٱلصَّبِيُّ عَلَى ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَٱلدَّنِيءُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِيفِ.

6 A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”

6 إِذَا أَمْسَكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِأَخِيهِ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ قَائِلًا: «لَكَ ثَوْبٌ فَتَكُونُ لَنَا رَئِيسًا، وَهَذَا ٱلْخَرَابُ تَحْتَ يَدِكَ»

7 On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”

7 يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «لَا أَكُونُ عَاصِبًا وَفِي بَيْتِي لَا خُبْزَ وَلَا ثَوْبَ. لَا تَجْعَلُونِي رَئِيسَ ٱلشَّعْبِ».

8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.

8 لِأَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَثَرَتْ، وَيَهُوذَا سَقَطَتْ، لِأَنَّ لِسَانَهُمَا وَأَفْعَالَهُمَا ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَةِ عَيْنَيْ مَجْدِهِ.

9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

9 نَظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ بِخَطِيَّتِهِمْ كَسَدُومَ. لَا يُخْفُونَهَا. وَيْلٌ لِنُفُوسِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ شَرًّا.

10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.

10 قُولُوا لِلصِّدِّيقِ خَيْرٌ! لِأَنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ ثَمَرَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ.

11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

11 وَيْلٌ لِلشِّرِّيرِ. شَرٌّ! لِأَنَّ مُجَازَاةَ يَدَيْهِ تُعْمَلُ بِهِ.

12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

12 شَعْبِي ظَالِمُوهُ أَوْلَادٌ، وَنِسَاءٌ يَتَسَلَّطْنَ عَلَيْهِ. يَا شَعْبِي، مُرْشِدُوكَ مُضِلُّونَ، وَيَبْلَعُونَ طَرِيقَ مَسَالِكِكَ.

13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

13 قَدِ ٱنْتَصَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْمُخَاصَمَةِ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ لِدَيْنُونَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

14 اَلرَّبُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مَعَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِمْ: «وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَكَلْتُمُ ٱلْكَرْمَ. سَلَبُ ٱلْبَائِسِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ.

15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

15 مَا لَكُمْ تَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبِي، وَتَطْحَنُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

16 The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty—walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

16 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ يَتَشَامَخْنَ، وَيَمْشِينَ مَمْدُودَاتِ ٱلْأَعْنَاقِ، وَغَامِزَاتٍ بِعُيُونِهِنَّ، وَخَاطِرَاتٍ فِي مَشْيِهِنَّ، وَيُخَشْخِشْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ،

17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

17 يُصْلِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ هَامَةَ بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُعَرِّي ٱلرَّبُّ عَوْرَتَهُنَّ.

18 In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;

18 يَنْزِعُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ زِينَةَ ٱلْخَلَاخِيلِ وَٱلضَّفَائِرِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ،

19 their pendants, bracelets, and veils;

19 وَٱلْحَلَقِ وَٱلْأَسَاوِرِ وَٱلْبَرَاقِعِ

20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;

20 وَٱلْعَصَائِبِ وَٱلسَّلَاسِلِ وَٱلْمَنَاطِقِ وَحَنَاجِرِ ٱلشَّمَّامَاتِ وَٱلْأَحْرَازِ،

21 their signet rings and nose rings;

21 وَٱلْخَوَاتِمِ وَخَزَائِمِ ٱلْأَنْفِ،

22 their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;

22 وَٱلثِّيَابِ ٱلْمُزَخْرَفَةِ وَٱلْعُطْفِ وَٱلْأَرْدِيَةِ وَٱلْأَكْيَاسِ،

23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.

23 وَٱلْمَرَائِي وَٱلْقُمْصَانِ وَٱلْعَمَائِمِ وَٱلْأُزُرِ.

24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.

24 فَيَكُونُ عِوَضَ ٱلطِّيبِ عُفُونَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْمِنْطَقَةِ حَبْلٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَدَائِلِ قَرْعَةٌ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلدِّيبَاجِ زُنَّارُ مِسْحٍ، وَعِوَضَ ٱلْجَمَالِ كَيٌّ!

25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.

25 رِجَالُكِ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَبْطَالُكِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.

26 فَتَئِنُّ وَتَنُوحُ أَبْوَابُهَا، وَهِيَ فَارِغَةً تَجْلِسُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.
