1 W oe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round.

آهٍ عَلَى أرِيئِيلَ، المَدِينَةِ الَّتِي خَيَّمَ فِيها داوُدُ. فَلْتَمَضِ سَنَةٌ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ. وَلِتَستَمِرَّ الأعيادُ فِي دَورَتِها.

2 B ut I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an Ariel.

لَكِنِّي سَأجلِبُ ضِيقاً عَلَى أرِيئِيلَ، فَيَكُونُ فِيها نَوحٌ وَبُكاءٌ. وَسَتَكُونُ مَدِينَةُ القُدْسِ كَأنَّها أرِيئِيلُ لِي.

3 A nd I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with watch-posts, and I will raise forts against thee.

سَأحشِدُ الجُيُوشَ حَولَكِ، سَأُحاصِرُكِ بِأبْراجٍ. وَأضَعُ حَولَكِ حَواجِزَ تُرابِيَّةً لِلهُجُومِ عَلَيكِ.

4 A nd thou shalt be brought low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall come low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

سَتَهبِطِينَ إلَى الأسفَلِ، وَتَتَكَلَّمِينَ مِنَ الأرْضِ، وَتُتَمتِمِينَ بِكَلِماتِكِ مِنَ التُّرابِ. سَيَأتِي صَوتُكِ مِنَ الأرْضِ كَصَوتِ شَبَحٍ، وَمِنَ التُّرابِ سَتَهمِسِينَ بِكَلامِكِ.

5 A nd the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

سَيُصبِحُ أعداؤُكِ الكَثِيرُونَ كَالغُبارِ النّاعِمِ. وَشَعبُكِ القاسِي الكَبِيرُ سَيصِيرُ كَالتِّبنِ المُتَطايِرِ.

6 T hou shalt be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

وَفَجأةً يَأتِي اللهُ القَدِيرُ بِرَعدٍ وَزَلزَلَةٍ وَضَجَّةٍ عالِيَةٍ وَعاصِفَةٍ وَرِيحٍ عاصِفَةٍ وَنارٍ تُحرِقُ وَتُدَمِّرُ.

7 A nd the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

الجَماهِيرُ الَّتِي تُحارِبُ أرِيئِيلَ، وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ يُحارِبُونها وَيُهاجِمُونَ قِلاعَها وَيُضايِقُونَها، سَيَكُونُونَ كَحُلمٍ وَكَرُؤْيا فِي اللَّيلِ.

8 I t shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war against mount Zion.

كَما يَحلُمُ الجائِعُ بِأنْ يَأكُلَ، وَيَستَيقِظُ فَإذا بِهِ ما يَزالُ جائِعاً. أوْ كَما يَحلُمُ العَطشانُ بِأنَّهُ يَشرَبَ، وَيَستَيقِظُ فَإذا هُوَ ما يَزالُ عَطشاناً وَذابِلاً مِنَ الجَفافِ. هَكَذا أيضاً يَحدُثُ للأُمَمِ الكَثِيرَةِ الَّتِي تُحارِبُ جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ.

9 B e astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

اندَهِشُوا وَتَفاجَأُوا، انذَهِلُوا وَتَعَجَّبُوا، اسكَرُوا، وَلَكِنْ لَيسَ مِنَ الخَمرِ! تَرَنَّحُوا، وَلَكِنْ لَيسَ مِنَ المُسكِراتِ!

10 F or Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, the seers, hath he covered.

قَدْ سَكَبَ اللهُ عَلَيكُمْ رُوحَ نَومٍ، وَأغمَضَ عُيُونَكُمْ – أي أنبِياءَكُمْ، وَغَطَّى رُؤُوسَكُمْ – أي أصحابُ الرُّؤَى بَينَكُمْ.

11 A nd the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed.

صارَتْ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ الرُّؤيا كَكَلامِ كِتابٍ مُغلَقٍ مَختُومٍ. إذا أُعطِيَ هَذا الكِتابُ لِمَنْ يَعرِفُ القِراءَةَ، وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «اقرَأْ،» فَإنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ: «لا أستَطِيعُ لأنَّهُ مَختُومٌ.»

12 A nd they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.

أوْ إذا أُعطِيَ الكِتابُ لِمَنْ لا يَعرِفُ القِراءَةَ، وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «اقرَأْ،» فَإنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ: «لا أعرِفُ القِراءَةَ.»

13 A nd the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught of men;

يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «هَذا الشَّعبُ يَقتَرِبُ إلَيَّ بِفَمِهِ فَقَطْ. يُمَجِّدُنِي بِالكَلامِ فَقَطْ، أمّا قُلْبُهُ فَبَعِيدٌ عَنِّي. عِبادَتُهُ لَيسَتْ سِوَى وَصِيَّةٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ يَتَعَلَّمُها.

14 t herefore, behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hid.

لِذَلِكَ ها أنا أعمَلُ أُمُوراً مُدهِشَةً مَعَ هَذا الشَّعبِ، أُمُوراً مُدهِشَةً وَغَيرَ مُعْتادَةٍ. فَتَهلِكُ حِكمَةُ الحُكَماءِ، وَيَختَفِي ذَكاءُ الأذكِياءِ.»

15 W oe unto them that hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

تَنَبَّهُوا يا مَنْ تُخَبِّئُونَ مُؤامَراتِكُمْ كَأنَّ اللهَ لا يَراها! يا مَنْ تَعمَلُونَ عَمَلَكُمْ فِي الظُّلمَةِ، وَتَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ يَرانا؟ مَنْ يَعرِفُ ماذا نَفعَلُ؟»

16 y our perverseness!—Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

تَقلِبُونَ الأُمُورَ، كَما لَو أنَّ الفَخّارِيَّ هُوَ الطِّينُ! هَلْ يُقُولُ المَصنُوعُ عَنْ صانِعِهِ: «لَمْ يَصنَعْنِي»؟ أوْ هَلْ يَقُولَ المَجبُولُ عَنْ جابِلِهِ: «لا يَفهَمُ»؟ أوقاتٌ أفضَلُ قادِمَة

17 I s it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

ألَنْ يَتَحَوَّل لُبنانُ إلَى بُستانٍ بَعدَ فَترَةٍ قَصِيرَةٍ، وَيُصبِحُ البُستانُ غابَةً؟

18 A nd in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and, out of obscurity and out of darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَسمَعُ الصُمُّ كَلامَ الكِتابِ. وَبَعدَ العَتمَةِ وَالظَّلمَةِ، سَتُبصِرُ عُيُونُ العُمِي.

19 a nd the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

سَيَفرَحُ الفُقَراءُ باللهِ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ، وَيَبتَهِجُ المَساكِينُ فِي أرْضِهِمْ بِقُدُّوسِ إسْرائِيلَ.

20 F or the terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be cut off,

لأنَّ القُساةَ سَيَزُولُونَ، وَالمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لَنْ يَكُونُوا فِيما بَعْدُ، وَكُلُّ المُتَحَمِّسِينَ لِعَمَلِ الشَّرِّ سَيَفنُونَ.

21 t hat make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert the righteous by futility.

إنَّهُمْ يَتَّهِمُونَ الآخَرِينَ بِالشَّرِّ، وَيَضَعُونَ الفِخاخَ لِلمُدافِعِينَ عَنِ الظُّلمِ عِندَ البَوّابَةِ. يُنكِرُونَ حَقَّ البَرِيءِ بِحُجَجٍ فارِغَةٍ كاذِبَةٍ.

22 T herefore thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale;

لِذَلِكَ فَإنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي فَدَى إبراهِيمَ يَقُولُ لِبَيتِ يَعقُوبَ: «لَنْ يَخزَى بَنُو يَعقُوبَ فِيما بَعْدُ، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ لَنْ تَصفَرَّ مِنَ الخَجَلِ مِنَ اليَومِ فَصاعِداً.

23 f or when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

وَعِندَما يَرَوْنَ أولادَهُمُ – عَمَلَ يَدَيَّ – فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، فَإنَّهُمْ سَيُعلِنُونَ اسْمِيَ القُدُّوسُ، وَسَيُكرِمُونَ قُدُّوسَ إسْرائِيلَ، وَيَقِفُونَ بِمَهابَةٍ أمامَ إلَهِ إسْرائِيلَ.

24 A nd they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.

وَسَيَفهَمُ الضّالُّونَ بأرْواحِهِمْ، وَالمُتَمَرِّدُونَ سَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ.»
