Isaiah 32

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.

1 هُوَذَا بِٱلْعَدْلِ يَمْلِكُ مَلِكٌ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ بِٱلْحَقِّ يَتَرَأَّسُونَ.

2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.

2 وَيَكُونُ إِنْسَانٌ كَمَخْبَأٍ مِنَ ٱلرِّيحِ وَسِتَارَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْلِ، كَسَوَاقِي مَاءٍ فِي مَكَانٍ يَابِسٍ، كَظِلِّ صَخْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فِي أَرْضٍ مُعْيِيَةٍ.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

3 وَلَا تَحْسِرُ عُيُونُ ٱلنَّاظِرِينَ، وَآذَانُ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ تَصْغَى،

4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

4 وَقُلُوبُ ٱلْمُتَسَرِّعِينَ تَفْهَمُ عِلْمًا، وَأَلْسِنَةُ ٱلْعَيِيِّينَ تُبَادِرُ إِلَى ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ فَصِيحًا.

5 No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.

5 وَلَا يُدْعَى ٱللَّئِيمُ بَعْدُ كَرِيمًا، وَلَا ٱلْمَاكِرُ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَبِيلٌ.

6 For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

6 لِأَنَّ ٱللَّئِيمَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱللُّؤْمِ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَعْمَلُ إِثْمًا لِيَصْنَعَ نِفَاقًا، وَيَتَكَلَّمَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱفْتِرَاءٍ، وَيُفْرِغَ نَفْسَ ٱلْجَائِعِ وَيَقْطَعَ شِرْبَ ٱلْعَطْشَانِ.

7 The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

7 وَٱلْمَاكِرُ آلَاتُهُ رَدِيئَةٌ. هُوَ يَتَآمَرُ بِٱلْخَبَائِثِ لِيُهْلِكَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ بِأَقْوَالِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، حَتَّى فِي تَكَلُّمِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

8 But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.

8 وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَرِيمُ فَبِالْكَرَائِمِ يَتَآمَرُ، وَهُوَ بِٱلْكَرَائِمِ يَقُومُ.

9 Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.

9 أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ، قُمْنَ ٱسْمَعْنَ صَوْتِي. أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَنَاتُ ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ، ٱصْغَيْنَ لِقَوْلِي.

10 In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.

10 أَيَّامًا عَلَى سَنَةٍ تَرْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَى ٱلْقِطَافُ. ٱلِٱجْتِنَاءُ لَا يَأْتِي.

11 Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.

11 اِرْتَجِفْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّاتُ. ٱرْتَعِدْنَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْوَاثِقَاتُ. تَجَرَّدْنَ وَتَعَرَّيْنَ وَتَنَطَّقْنَ عَلَى ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ

12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,

12 لَاطِمَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلثُّدِيِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحُقُولِ ٱلْمُشْتَهَاةِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْكَرْمَةِ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةِ.

13 and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers—even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.

13 عَلَى أَرْضِ شَعْبِي يَطْلَعُ شَوْكٌ وَحَسَكٌ حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْفَرَحِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجَةِ.

14 For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever—the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—

14 لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَصْرَ قَدْ هُدِمَ. جُمْهُورُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ تُرِكَ. ٱلْأَكَمَةُ وَٱلْبُرْجُ صَارَا مَغَايِرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، مَرَحًا لِحَمِيرِ ٱلْوَحْشِ، مَرْعًى لِلْقُطْعَانِ.

15 until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.

15 إِلَى أَنْ يُسْكَبَ عَلَيْنَا رُوحٌ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ، فَتَصِيرَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ بُسْتَانًا، وَيُحْسَبَ ٱلْبُسْتَانُ وَعْرًا.

16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.

16 فَيَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْحَقُّ، وَٱلْعَدْلُ فِي ٱلْبُسْتَانِ يُقِيمُ.

17 The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.

17 وَيَكُونُ صُنْعُ ٱلْعَدْلِ سَلَامًا، وَعَمَلُ ٱلْعَدْلِ سُكُونًا وَطُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.

18 وَيَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فِي مَسْكَنِ ٱلسَّلَامِ، وَفِي مَسَاكِنَ مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ وَفِي مَحَلَّاتٍ أَمِينَةٍ.

19 But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.

19 وَيَنْزِلُ بَرَدٌ بِهُبُوطِ ٱلْوَعْرِ، وَإِلَى ٱلْحَضِيضِ تُوضَعُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ.

20 Blessed are those who sow beside abundant waters, who let the ox and donkey range freely.

20 طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلزَّارِعُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، ٱلْمُسَرِّحُونَ أَرْجُلَ ٱلثَّوْرِ وَٱلْحِمَارِ.
