Isaiah 22

وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ وَادِي الرُّؤْيَا: فَمَا لَكِ أَنَّكِ صَعِدْتِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى السُّطُوحِ،

The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

يَا مَلآنَةُ مِنَ الْجَلَبَةِ، الْمَدِينَةُ الْعَجَّاجَةُ، الْقَرْيَةُ الْمُفْتَخِرَةُ؟ قَتْلاَكِ لَيْسَ هُمْ قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ وَلاَ مَوْتَى الْحَرْبِ.

Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِكِ هَرَبُوا مَعًا. أُسِرُوا بِالْقِسِيِّ. كُلُّ الْمَوْجُودِينَ بِكِ أُسِرُوا مَعًا. مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَرُّوا.

All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

لِذلِكَ قُلْتُ: «اقْتَصِرُوا عَنِّي، فَأَبْكِي بِمَرَارَةٍ. لاَ تُلِحُّوا بِتَعْزِيَتِي عَنْ خَرَابِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي».

Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

إِنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ فِي وَادِي الرُّؤْيَا يَوْمَ شَغبٍ وَدَوْسٍ وَارْتِبَاكٍ. نَقْبُ سُورٍ وَصُرَاخٌ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ.

For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

فَعِيلاَمُ قَدْ حَمَلَتِ الْجَعْبَةَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِ رِجَال فُرْسَانٍ، وَقِيرُ قَدْ كَشَفَتِ الْمِجَنَّ.

And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

فَتَكُونُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْدِيَتِكِ مَلآنَةً مَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَالْفُرْسَانُ تَصْطَفُّ اصْطِفَافًا نَحْوَ الْبَابِ.

And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

وَيَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ يَهُوذَا، فَتَنْظُرُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى أَسْلِحَةِ بَيْتِ الْوَعْرِ.

And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

وَرَأَيْتُمْ شُقُوقَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّهَا صَارَتْ كَثِيرَةً، وَجَمَعْتُمْ مِيَاهَ الْبِرْكَةِ السُّفْلَى.

Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

وَعَدَدْتُمْ بُيُوتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمْتُمُ الْبُيُوتَ لِتَحْصِينِ السُّورِ.

And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

وَصَنَعْتُمْ خَنْدَقًا بَيْنَ السُّورَيْنِ لِمِيَاهِ الْبِرْكَةِ الْعَتِيقَةِ. لكِنْ لَمْ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى صَانِعِهِ، وَلَمْ تَرَوْا مُصَوِّرَهُ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ.

Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

وَدَعَا السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى الْبُكَاءِ وَالنَّوْحِ وَالْقَرَعَةِ وَالتَّنَطُّقِ بِالْمِسْحِ،

And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

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

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

فَأَعْلَنَ فِي أُذُنَيَّ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: «لاَ يُغْفَرَنَّ لَكُمْ هذَا الإِثْمُ حَتَّى تَمُوتُوا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ».

And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: «اذْهَبِ ادْخُلْ إِلَى هذَا جَلِيسِ الْمَلِكِ، إِلَى شِبْنَا الَّذِي عَلَى الْبَيْتِ:

Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

مَا لَكَ ههُنَا؟ وَمَنْ لَكَ ههُنَا حَتَّى نَقَرْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ ههُنَا قَبْرًا أَيُّهَا النَّاقِرُ فِي الْعُلُوِّ قَبْرَهُ، النَّاحِتُ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي الصَّخْرِ مَسْكَنًا؟

What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

هُوَذَا الرَّبُّ يَطْرَحُكَ طَرْحًا يَا رَجُلُ، وَيُغَطِّيكَ تَغْطِيَةً.

Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

يَلُفُّكَ لَفَّ لَفِيفَةٍ كَالْكُرَةِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةِ الطَّرَفَيْنِ. هُنَاكَ تَمُوتُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَكُونُ مَرْكَبَاتُ مَجْدِكَ، يَا خِزْيَ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكَ.

He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

وَأَطْرُدُكَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِكَ، وَمِنْ مَقَامِكَ يَحُطُّكَ.

And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

«وَيَكُونُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَدْعُو عَبْدِي أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ حِلْقِيَّا

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

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

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

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

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

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

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

وَيُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَجْدِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ، الْفُرُوعَ وَالْقُضْبَانَ، كُلَّ آنِيَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ الطُّسُوسِ إِلَى آنِيَةِ الْقَنَّانِيِّ جَمِيعًا.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، يَزُولُ الْوَتَدُ الْمُثْبَتُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ وَيُقْطَعُ وَيَسْقُطُ. وَيُبَادُ الثِّقْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
