Isaiah 33

وَيْلٌ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الْمُخْرِبُ وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُخْرَبْ، وَأَيُّهَا النَّاهِبُ وَلَمْ يَنْهَبُوكَ. حِينَ تَنْتَهِي مِنَ التَّخْرِيبِ تُخْرَبُ، وَحِينَ تَفْرَغُ مِنَ النَّهْبِ يَنْهَبُونَكَ.

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

يَا رَبُّ، تَرَاءَفْ عَلَيْنَا. إِيَّاكَ انْتَظَرْنَا. كُنْ عَضُدَهُمْ فِي الْغَدَوَاتِ. خَلاَصَنَا أَيْضًا فِي وَقْتِ الشِّدَّةِ.

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

مِنْ صَوْتِ الضَّجِيجِ هَرَبَتِ الشُّعُوبُ. مِنِ ارْتِفَاعِكَ تَبَدَّدَتِ الأُمَمُ.

At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

وَيُجْنَى سَلَبُكُمْ جَنَى الْجَرَادِ. كَتَرَاكُضِ الْجُنْدُبِ يُتَرَاكَضُ عَلَيْهِ.

And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

تَعَالَى الرَّبُّ لأَنَّهُ سَاكِنٌ فِي الْعَلاَءِ. مَلأَ صِهْيَوْنَ حَقًّا وَعَدْلاً.

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

فَيَكُونُ أَمَانُ أَوْقَاتِكَ وَفْرَةَ خَلاَصٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ. مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ هِيَ كَنْزُهُ.

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

هُوَذَا أَبْطَالُهُمْ قَدْ صَرَخُوا خَارِجًا. رُسُلُ السَّلاَمِ يَبْكُونَ بِمَرَارَةٍ.

Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

خَلَتِ السِّكَكُ. بَادَ عَابِرُ السَّبِيلِ. نَكَثَ الْعَهْدَ. رَذَلَ الْمُدُنَ. لَمْ يَعْتَدَّ بِإِنْسَانٍ.

The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

نَاحَتْ، ذَبُلَتِ الأَرْضُ. خَجِلَ لُبْنَانُ وَتَلِفَ. صَارَ شَارُونُ كَالْبَادِيَةِ. نُثِرَ بَاشَانُ وَكَرْمَلُ.

The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

«اَلآنَ أَقُومُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. الآنَ أَصْعَدُ. الآنَ أَرْتَفِعُ.

Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

تَحْبَلُونَ بِحَشِيشٍ، تَلِدُونَ قَشِيشًا. نَفَسُكُمْ نَارٌ تَأْكُلُكمْ.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

وَتَصِيرُ الشُّعُوبُ وَقُودَ كِلْسٍ، أَشْوَاكًا مَقْطُوعَةً تُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ».

And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

اِسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْبَعِيدُون مَا صَنَعْتُ، وَاعْرِفُوا أَيُّهَا الْقَرِيبُونَ بَطْشِي.

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

ارْتَعَبَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ الْخُطَاةُ. أَخَذَتِ الرِّعْدَةُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ: «مَنْ مِنَّا يَسْكُنُ فِي نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ؟ مَنْ مِنَّا يَسْكُنُ فِي وَقَائِدَ أَبَدِيَّةٍ؟»

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

السَّالِكُ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ، الرَّاذِلُ مَكْسَبَ الْمَظَالِمِ، النَّافِضُ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْضِ الرَّشْوَةِ، الَّذِي يَسُدُّ أُذُنَيْهِ عَنْ سَمْعِ الدِّمَاءِ، وَيُغَمِّضُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ النَّظَرِ إِلَى الشَّرِّ

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

هُوَ فِي الأَعَالِي يَسْكُنُ. حُصُونُ الصُّخُورِ مَلْجَأُهُ. يُعْطَى خُبْزَهُ، وَمِيَاهُهُ مَأْمُونَةٌ.

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

اَلْمَلِكَ بِبَهَائِهِ تَنْظُرُ عَيْنَاكَ. تَرَيَانِ أَرْضًا بَعِيدَةً.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

قَلْبُكَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الرُّعْبَ: « أَيْنَ الْكَاتِبُ؟ أَيْنَ الْجَابِي؟ أَيْنَ الَّذِي عَدَّ الأَبْرَاجَ؟»

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

الشَّعْبَ الشَّرِسَ لاَ تَرَى. الشَّعْبَ الْغَامِضَ اللُّغَةِ عَنِ الإِدْرَاكِ، الْعَيِيَّ بِلِسَانٍ لاَ يُفْهَمُ.

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

اُنْظُرْ صِهْيَوْنَ مَدِينَةَ أَعْيَادِنَا. عَيْنَاكَ تَرَيَانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَسْكِنًا مُطْمَئِنًّا، خَيْمَةً لاَ تَنْتَقِلُ، لاَ تُقْلَعُ أَوْتَادُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ أَطْنَابِهَا لاَ يَنْقَطِعُ.

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

بَلْ هُنَاكَ الرَّبُّ الْعَزِيزُ لَنَا مَكَانُ أَنْهَارٍ وَتُرَعٍ وَاسِعَةِ الشَّوَاطِئِ. لاَ يَسِيرُ فِيهَا قَارِبٌ بِمِقْذَافٍ، وَسَفِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ لاَ تَجْتَازُ فِيهَا.

But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَاضِينَا. الرَّبُّ شَارِعُنَا. الرَّبُّ مَلِكُنَا هُوَ يُخَلِّصُنَا.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

ارْتَخَتْ حِبَالُكِ. لاَ يُشَدِّدُونَ قَاعِدَةَ سَارِيَتِهِمْ. لاَ يَنْشُرُونَ قِلْعًا. حِينَئِذٍ قُسِمَ سَلَبُ غَنِيمَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. الْعُرْجُ نَهَبُوا نَهْبًا.

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

وَلاَ يَقُولُ سَاكِنٌ: «أَنَا مَرِضْتُ». الشَّعْبُ السَّاكِنُ فِيهَا مَغْفُورُ الإِثْمِ.

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
