Isaiah 16

Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

أَرْسِلُوا خِرْفَانَ حَاكِمِ الأَرْضِ مِنْ سَالِعَ نَحْوَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى جَبَلِ ابْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ.

For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

وَيَحْدُثُ أَنَّهُ كَطَائِرٍ تَائِهٍ، كَفِرَاخٍ مُنَفَّرَةٍ تَكُونُ بَنَاتُ مُوآبَ فِي مَعَابِرِ أَرْنُونَ.

Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

هَاتِي مَشُورَةً، اصْنَعِي إِنْصَافًا، اجْعَلِي ظِلَّكِ كَاللَّيْلِ فِي وَسَطِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، اسْتُرِي الْمَطْرُودِينَ، لاَ تُظْهِرِي الْهَارِبِينَ.

Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

لِيَتَغَرَّبْ عِنْدَكِ مَطْرُودُو مُوآبَ. كُونِي سِتْرًا لَهُمْ مِنْ وَجْهِ الْمُخَرِّبِ، لأَنَّ الظَّالِمَ يَبِيدُ، وَيَنْتَهِي الْخَرَابُ، وَيَفْنَى عَنِ الأَرْضِ الدَّائِسُونَ.

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

فَيُثَبَّتُ الْكُرْسِيُّ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ بِالأَمَانَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ دَاوُدَ قَاضٍ، وَيَطْلُبُ الْحَقَّ وَيُبَادِرُ بِالْعَدْلِ.

We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِكِبْرِيَاءِ مُوآبَ الْمُتَكَبِّرَةِ جِدًّا عَظَمَتِهَا وَكِبْرِيَائِهَا وَصَلَفِهَا بُطْلِ افْتِخَارِهَا.

Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir–hareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

لِذلِكَ تُوَلْوِلُ مُوآبُ. عَلَى مُوآبَ كُلُّهَا يُوَلْوِلُ. تَئِنُّونَ عَلَى أُسُسِ قِيرَ حَارِسَةَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ مَضْرُوبَةٌ.

For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

لأَنَّ حُقُولَ حَشْبُونَ ذَبُلَتْ. كَرْمَةُ سِبْمَةَ كَسَّرَ أُمَرَاءُ الأُمَمِ أَفْضَلَهَا. وَصَلَتْ إِلَى يَعْزِيرَ. تَاهَتْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، امْتَدَّتْ أَغْصَانُهَا، عَبَرَتِ الْبَحْرَ.

Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

لِذلِكَ أَبْكِي بُكَاءَ يَعْزِيرَ عَلَى كَرْمَةِ سِبْمَةَ. أُرْوِيكُمَا بِدُمُوعِي يَا حَشْبُونُ وَأَلْعَالَةُ، لأَنَّهُ عَلَى قِطَافِكِ وَعَلَى حَصَادِكِ قَدْ وَقَعَتْ جَلَبَةٌ.

And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

وَانْتُزِعَ الْفَرَحُ وَالابْتِهَاجُ مِنَ الْبُسْتَانِ، وَلاَ يُغَنَّى فِي الْكُرُومِ وَلاَ يُتَرَنَّمُ، وَلاَ يَدُوسُ دَائِسٌ خَمْرًا فِي الْمَعَاصِرِ. أَبْطَلْتُ الْهُتَافَ.

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir–haresh.

لِذلِكَ تَرِنُّ أَحْشَائِي كَعُودٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ مُوآبَ وَبَطْنِي مِنْ أَجْلِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ.

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

وَيَكُونُ إِذَا ظَهَرَتْ، إِذَا تَعِبَتْ مُوآبُ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَةِ وَدَخَلَتْ إِلَى مَقْدِسِهَا تُصَلِّي، أَنَّهَا لاَ تَفُوزُ.

This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

هذَا هُوَ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مُوآبَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ.

But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.

وَالآنَ تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «فِي ثَلاَثِ سِينِينٍَ كَسِنِي الأَجِيرِ يُهَانُ مَجْدُ مُوآبَ بِكُلِّ الْجُمْهُورِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَتَكُونُ الْبَقِيَّةُ قَلِيلَةً صَغِيرَةً لاَ كَبِيرَةً».
