Isaiah 2

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

اَلأُمُورُ الَّتِي رَآهَا إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ مِنْ جِهَةِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ التِّلاَلِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ الأُمَمِ.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

وَتَسِيرُ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَيُنْصِفُ لِشُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لاَ تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلاَ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَلُمَّ فَنَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ الرَّبِّ.

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

فَإِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ شَعْبَكَ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ لأَنَّهُمُ امْتَلأُوا مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُمْ عَائِفُونَ كَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيُصَافِحُونَ أَوْلاَدَ الأَجَانِبِ.

Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

وَامْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَلاَ نِهَايَةَ لِكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَامْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ خَيْلاً وَلاَ نِهَايَةَ لِمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ.

Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

وَامْتَلأَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ أَوْثَانًا. يَسْجُدُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِمَا صَنَعَتْهُ أَصَابِعُهُمْ.

And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

وَيَنْخَفِضُ الإِنْسَانُ، وَيَنْطَرِحُ الرَّجُلُ، فَلاَ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

اُدْخُلْ إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ وَاخْتَبِئْ فِي التُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ.

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

تُوضَعُ عَيْنَا تَشَامُخِ الإِنْسَانِ، وَتُخْفَضُ رِفْعَةُ النَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

فَإِنَّ لِرَبِّ الْجُنُودِ يَوْمًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَعَال، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُرْتَفِعٍ فَيُوضَعُ،

And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

وَعَلَى كُلِّ أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ الْعَالِي الْمُرْتَفِعِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَلُّوطِ بَاشَانَ،

And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

وَعَلَى كُلِّ الْجِبَالِ الْعَالِيَةِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ التِّلاَلِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ،

And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

وَعَلَى كُلِّ بُرْجٍ عَال، وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُورٍ مَنِيعٍ،

And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُفُنِ تَرْشِيشَ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ الأَعْلاَمِ الْبَهِجَةِ.

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

فَيُخْفَضُ تَشَامُخُ الإِنْسَانِ، وَتُوضَعُ رِفْعَةُ النَّاسِ، وَيَسْمُو الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

وَتَزُولُ الأَوْثَانُ بِتَمَامِهَا.

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

وَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي مَغَايِرِ الصُّخُورِ، وَفِي حَفَائِرِ التُّرَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ، عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ الأَرْضَ.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَطْرَحُ الإِنْسَانُ أَوْثَانَهُ الْفِضِّيَّةَ وَأَوْثَانَهُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ، الَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا لَهُ لِلسُّجُودِ، لِلْجُرْذَانِ وَالْخَفَافِيشِ،

To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

لِيَدْخُلَ فِي نُقَرِ الصُّخُورِ وَفِي شُقُوقِ الْمَعَاقِلِ، مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْبَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ بَهَاءِ عَظَمَتِهِ عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ لِيَرْعَبَ الأَرْضَ.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

كُفُّوا عَنِ الإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةٌ، لأَنَّهُ مَاذَا يُحْسَبُ؟
