1 ل أنَّ اللهَ سَيَرحَمُ يَعقُوبَ ثانِيَةً. سَيَختارُ بَني إسْرائِيلَ، وَيَجعَلُهُمْ يَستَقِرُّونَ فِي أرْضِهِمْ. وَسَيَنضَمُّ إلَيْهِمُ الغُرَباءُ، وَيَأتُونَ لِيَنضَمُّوا إلَى بَيتِ يَعقُوبَ.

For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2 س َتَأخُذُهُمُ الشُّعُوبُ وَتُحضِرُهُمْ إلَى أرْضِهِمْ. وَسَيَملُكُ بَيتُ إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ كَعَبِيدٍ وَجَوارٍ لَهُمْ فِي أرْضِ اللهِ. سَيَسلِبُونَ مَنْ سَلَبَهُمْ، وَيَحكُمُونَ ظالِمِيهِمْ. حَولَ مَلِكِ بابِل

And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3 و َعِندَما يُرِيحُكَ اللهُ مِنْ ألَمِكَ وَضِيقِكَ، وَمِنَ العُبُودِيَّةِ الشّاقَّةِ الَّتِي كانَتْ مَفرُوضَةً عَلَيكَ،

And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

4 س َتُغَنِّي هَذِهِ الأُغنِيَةَ عَنْ مَلِكِ بابِلَ: انظُرُوا كَيفَ بادَ المَلِكُ القاسِي! وَكَيفَ انتَهَتْ عَجرَفَتُهُ!

That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

5 ك َسَرَ اللهُ عَصا الشِّرِّيرِ، وَصَولَجانَ الحاكِمِ.

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

6 ك انَ يَضرِبُ الشُّعُوبَ بِغَضَبٍ وَبِلا تَوَقُّفٍ، حاكِماً الأُمَمَ بِغَضَبٍ، وَمُضطَهِداً إيّاهُمْ بِلا تَوَقُّفٍ.

He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

7 أ مّأ الآنَ، فَسَتَرتاحُ الأرْضُ وَتَهدَأُ، وَيَبدَأُ النّاسُ بِالغِناءِ.

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

8 ح َتَّى أشجارُ السَّروِ وَأرْزُ لُبنانَ فَرِحَتْ بِدَمارِكَ، وَتَقُولُ: «مُنذُ سَقَطَّتَ، لَمْ يَأتِ أحَدٌ لِيَقطَعَنا.»

Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

9 ا لهاوِيَةُ فِي الأسفَلِ تَهتَزُّ فَرَحاً لاستِقبالِكَ عِندَ مَجِيئِكَ. سَتُوقِظُ أرواحَ المَوتَى لأجلِكَ، أرواحَ عُظَماءِ الأرْضِ. يَجعَلُ كُلَّ مُلُوكِ الأرْضِ يَقُومُونَ عَنْ عُرُوشِهِمْ.

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10 ك ُلُّهُمْ سَيُجِيبُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ لَكَ: «صِرْتَ ضَعِيفاً مِثلَنا، وَقَدْ شابَهْتَنا!»

All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

11 أ ُسقِطَ كِبرِياؤُكَ إلَى الهاوِيَةِ، مَعَ صَوتِ مُوسِيقَى قِيثارَتِكَ. الحَشَراتُ فِراشُكَ، وَالدُّودُ غِطاؤُكَ.

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

12 ك َيفَ سَقَطْتَ مِنَ السَّماءِ، يا هِلالَ الفَجْرِ. كَيفَ أُسقِطتَ إلَى الأرْضِ، يا هازِمَ الأُمَمِ؟

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 ق ُلتَ فِي نَفسِكَ: «سَأصعَدُ إلَى السَّماءِ، وَسَأرفَعُ عَرشِيَ فَوقَ نُجُومِ اللهِ، وَسَأجلِسُ عَلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ صافُونَ حَيثُ تَجتَمِعُ الآلِهَةُ.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 س َأصعَدُ إلَى أعالِي السَّحابِ، وَأصِيرُ مِثلَ العَلِيِّ.»

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 و َلَكِنَّكَ سَتُهبَطُ إلَى الهاوِيَةِ، وَإلَى أعماقِ الحُفْرَةِ.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 ا لَّذِينَ يَرَونَكَ يُحَدِّقُونَ بِكَ وَيَتَعَجَّبُونَ: «ألَيسَ هَذا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الأرْضَ تَهتَزُّ وَالمَمالِكَ تَرتَجِفُ؟

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17 ا لَّذِي حَوَّلَ العالَمَ إلَى بَرِّيَّةٍ، وَدَمَّرَ مُدُنَهُ، الَّذِي لَمْ يُطلِقْ سُجَناءَهُ إلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ؟»

That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

18 ك ُلُّ مُلُوكِ الأُمَمِ يُدفَنُونَ بِكَرامَةٍ، كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ فِي قَبرِهِ.

All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

19 أ مّا أنتَ فَتُطرَحُ خارِجَ قَبرِكَ كَغُصنٍ مَنبُوذٍ. سَتُغَطِّيكَ جُثَثُ القَتلَى كَثَوبٍ، مَعَ أُولَئِكَ المَطعُونِينَ بِالسَّيفِ، الَّذِينَ يَنزِلُونَ إلَى الحُفرَةِ جُثَثاً مُداسَةً.

But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20 ل َنْ تُدفَنَ مَعَ المُلُوكِ، لأنَّكَ خَرَّبْتَ بَلَدَكَ، وَقَتَلْتَ شَعبَكَ. وَلَنْ يُذكَرَ أولادُكَ فِيما بَعْدُ.

Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21 ا سْتَعِدُّوا لِقَتلِ أولادِهِمْ بِسَبَبِ خَطِيَّةِ آبائِهِمْ. لَنْ يَقُومُوا وَيَمتَلِكُوا الأرْضَ، وَلَنْ يَملأُوا الأرْضَ بِالمُدُنِ.

Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

22 ي َقُولُ اللهُ القَدِيرُ: «سَأُحارِبُهُمْ، وَأُبِيدُ شُهْرَةَ بابِلَ وَمنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ ساكِنِيها، وَأولادِهِمْ وَأحفادِهِمْ.

For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.

23 و َأجعَلُها مُلكاً وَمَسكِناً لِلقَنافِذِ، وَمُستَنقَعاتِ مياهٍ. سَأُكَنِّسُهَا بِمِكْنَسَةِ الهَلاكِ.» يَقُولُ اللهُ القَدِيرُ. عِقابُ اللهِ لأشُّور

I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.

24 أ قسَمَ اللهُ القَدِيرُ فَقالَ: «كَما عَزَمْتُ سَيَكُونُ، وَكَما خَطَّطتُ سَيَحدُثُ.

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25 س َأُحَطِّمُ أشُّورَ فِي أرْضِيَ، وَأدُوسُهُ عَلَى جِبالِيَ. سَيَزُولُ نِيرُهُ عَنكُمْ، وَحِملُهُ عَنْ أكتافِكُمْ.

That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

26 ه َذِا هُوَ الحُكمُ الَّذِي أُعِدَّ لَكُلِّ الأرْضِ. هَذِهِ هِيَ اليَدُ المَرفُوعَةُ لِمُعاقَبَةِ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ.»

This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27 ا للهُ القَدِيرُ قَرَّرَ هَذا، فَمَنْ يَستَطِيعُ إيقافَهُ؟ يَدُهُ مَرفُوعَةٌ لِمُعاقَبَتِهِمْ، فَمَنْ يَرَدُّها إلَى الوَراءِ؟ رِسالَةُ اللهِ إلَى الفِلِسطِيِّين

For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

28 أ ُعطِيَتْ هَذِهِ الرِّسالَةُ فِي سَنَةِ وَفاةِ المَلِكِ آحازَ:

In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

29 ل ا تَفرَحُوا أيُّها الفِلِسطِيُّونَ، لأنَّ العَصا الَّتِي ضَرَبَتْكُمْ كُسِرَتْ. فَمِنْ هَذِهِ الحَيَّةِ سَتَخرُجُ أفعَى، وَتَكُونُ ابنَتُها أشَدُّ خُطُورَةً.

Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

30 و َأبناءُ المَساكِينِ سَيَرْعَوْنَ بِأمانٍ، وَالمُحتاجُونَ سَيَربُضُونَ بِطُمَأنِينَةٍ. وَسَأُمِيتُ عائِلَتَكِ بِالجُوعِ، وَسَأقتُلُ بَنِيهِمْ.

And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

31 و َلْوِلْ أيُّها البابُ! اصرُخِي أيَّتُها المَدِينَةُ! ذُوبِي خَوفاً يا أرْضَ الفِلِسطِيِّينَ، وَيا كُلَّ مَنْ فِيها. لأنَّ غُبارَ جَيشٍ يأتِي مِنَ الشَّمالِ، وَلَيسَ فِي صُفُوفِهِ جُندِيُّ ضَعِيفٌ.

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

32 ه َكَذا يُجاوَبُ رُسُلُ الأُمَمِ: « اللهُ أسَّسَ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَبِها يَحتَمِي مَساكِينُ شَعبِهِ.»

What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
