Isaiah 14

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَرْحَمُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيَخْتَارُ أَيْضًا إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيُرِيحُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، فَتَقْتَرِنُ بِهِمِ الْغُرَبَاءُ وَيَنْضَمُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ.

For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

وَيَأْخُذُهُمْ شُعُوبٌ وَيَأْتُونَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِمْ، وَيَمْتَلِكُهُمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ الرَّبِّ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً، وَيَسْبُونَ الَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ وَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ظَالِمِيهِمْ.

And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

وَيَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ يُرِيحُكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ تَعَبِكَ وَمِنِ انْزِعَاجِكَ، وَمِنَ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ الْقَاسِيَةِ الَّتِي اسْتُعْبِدْتَ بِهَا،

And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

أَنَّكَ تَنْطِقُ بِهذَا الْهَجْوِ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ وَتَقُولُ: «كَيْفَ بَادَ الظَّالِمُ، بَادَتِ الْمُغَطْرِسَةُ؟

That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

قَدْ كَسَّرَ الرَّبُّ عَصَا الأَشْرَارِ، قَضِيبَ الْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ.

The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

الضَّارِبُ الشُّعُوبَ بِسَخَطٍ، ضَرْبَةً بِلاَ فُتُورٍ. الْمُتَسَلِّطُ بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى الأُمَمِ، بِاضْطِهَادٍ بِلاَ إمْسَاكٍ.

He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

اِسْتَرَاحَتِ، اطْمَأَنَّتْ كُلُّ الأَرْضِ. هَتَفُوا تَرَنُّمًا.

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

حَتَّى السَّرْوُ يَفْرَحُ عَلَيْكَ، وَأَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ قَائِلاً: مُنْذُ اضْطَجَعْتَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ عَلَيْنَا قَاطِعٌ.

Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

اَلْهَاوِيَةُ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ مُهْتَزَّةٌ لَكَ، لاسْتِقْبَالِ قُدُومِكَ، مُنْهِضَةٌ لَكَ الأَخْيِلَةَ، جَمِيعَ عُظَمَاءِ الأَرْضِ. أَقَامَتْ كُلَّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ عَنْ كَرَاسِيِّهِمْ.

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

كُلُّهُمْ يُجِيبُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ لَكَ: أَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا قَدْ ضَعُفْتَ نَظِيرَنَا وَصِرْتَ مِثْلَنَا؟

All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

أُهْبِطَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ فَخْرُكَ، رَنَّةُ أَعْوَادِكَ. تَحْتَكَ تُفْرَشُ الرِّمَّةُ، وَغِطَاؤُكَ الدُّودُ.

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

كَيْفَ سَقَطْتِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَا زُهَرَةُ، بِنْتَ الصُّبْحِ؟ كَيْفَ قُطِعْتَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَا قَاهِرَ الأُمَمِ؟

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

وَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: أَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ. أَرْفَعُ كُرْسِيِّي فَوْقَ كَوَاكِبِ اللهِ، وَأَجْلِسُ عَلَى جَبَلِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي أَقَاصِي الشَّمَالِ.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

أَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ السَّحَابِ. أَصِيرُ مِثْلَ الْعَلِيِّ.

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

لكِنَّكَ انْحَدَرْتَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ، إِلَى أَسَافِلِ الْجُبِّ.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

اَلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَكَ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ إِلَيْكَ، يَتَأَمَّلُونَ فِيكَ. أَهذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي زَلْزَلَ الأَرْضَ وَزَعْزَعَ الْمَمَالِكَ،

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

الَّذِي جَعَلَ الْعَالَمَ كَقَفْرٍ، وَهَدَمَ مُدُنَهُ، الَّذِي لَمْ يُطْلِقْ أَسْرَاهُ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟

That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

كُلُّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ بِأَجْمَعِهِمِ اضْطَجَعُوا بِالْكَرَامَةِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ طُرِحْتَ مِنْ قَبْرِكَ كَغُصْنٍ أَشْنَعَ، كَلِبَاسِ الْقَتْلَى الْمَضْرُوبِينَ بِالسَّيْفِ، الْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى حِجَارَةِ الْجُبِّ، كَجُثَّةٍ مَدُوسَةٍ.

But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

لاَ تَتَّحِدُ بِهِمْ فِي الْقَبْرِ لأَنَّكَ أَخْرَبْتَ أَرْضَكَ، قَتَلْتَ شَعْبَكَ. لاَ يُسَمَّى إِلَى الأَبَدِ نَسْلُ فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ.

Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

هَيِّئُوا لِبَنِيهِ قَتْلاً بِإِثْمِ آبَائِهِمْ، فَلاَ يَقُومُوا وَلاَ يَرِثُوا الأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَمْلأُوا وَجْهَ الْعَالَمِ مُدُنًا».

Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

«فَأَقُومُ عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. وَأَقْطَعُ مِنْ بَابِلَ اسْمًا وَبَقِيَّةً وَنَسْلاً وَذُرِّيَّةً، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.

وَأَجْعَلُهَا مِيرَاثًا لِلْقُنْفُذِ، وَآجَامَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأُكَنِّسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ الْهَلاَكِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ».

I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

قَدْ حَلَفَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّهُ كَمَا قَصَدْتُ يَصِيرُ، وَكَمَا نَوَيْتُ يَثْبُتُ:

The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

أَنْ أُحَطِّمَ أَشُّورَ فِي أَرْضِي وَأَدُوسَهُ عَلَى جِبَالِي، فَيَزُولَ عَنْهُمْ نِيرُهُ، وَيَزُولَ عَنْ كَتِفِهِمْ حِمْلُهُ».

That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

هذَا هُوَ القَضَاءُ الْمَقْضِيُّ بِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَهذِهِ هِيَ الْيَدُ الْمَمْدُودَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأُمَمِ.

This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

فَإِنَّ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ قَدْ قَضَى، فَمَنْ يُبَطِّلُ؟ وَيَدُهُ هِيَ الْمَمْدُودَةُ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهَا؟

For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ الْمَلِكِ آحَازَ كَانَ هذَا الْوَحْيُ:

In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

لاَ تَفْرَحِي يَا جَمِيعَ فِلِسْطِينَ، لأَنَّ الْقَضِيبَ الضَّارِبَكِ انْكَسَرَ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَصْلِ الْحَيَّةِ يَخْرُجُ أُفْعُوانٌ، وَثَمَرَتُهُ تَكُونُ ثُعْبَانًا مُسِمًّا طَيَّارًا.

Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

وَتَرْعَى أَبْكَارُ الْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَرْبِضُ الْبَائِسُونَ بِالأَمَانِ، وَأُمِيتُ أَصْلَكِ بِالْجُوعِ، فَيَقْتُلُ بَقِيَّتَكِ.

And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

وَلْوِلْ أَيُّهَا الْبَابُ. اصْرُخِي أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ. قَدْ ذَابَ جَمِيعُكِ يَا فِلِسْطِينُ، لأَنَّهُ مِنَ الشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي دُخَانٌ، وَلَيْسَ شَاذٌّ فِي جُيُوشِهِ.

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

فَبِمَاذَا يُجَابُ رُسُلُ الأُمَمِ؟ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ أَسَّسَ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَبِهَا يَحْتَمِي بَائِسُو شَعْبِهِ.

What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
