1 ¶ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye one year to another; the lambs shall cease.

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

2 Y et I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as 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 a mount, 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 down and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as that of a spiritist, 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 M oreover the multitude of thy enemies that shall come from afar shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the strong ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

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

6 T hou shalt be visited of the LORD of the hosts with thunders, with earthquakes, and with 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 Gentiles that shall fight against Ariel, even all that shall fight against her and their siege weapons, and those that shall 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 he who dreams that he is hungry, and in his dream, he eats; but when he awakes, his soul is empty; and as he who dreams that he is thirsty, and, in his dream, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul is still thirsty: so shall the multitude of all the Gentiles be, that shall fight 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 ¶ Become ye dumb, and make others dumb; become ye blind, and blind others: 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 the LORD has extended upon you the spirit of deep sleep and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, he has covered the seers with sleep.

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

11 A nd every vision is unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which if it were delivered to one that knows how to read, saying, Read this, I pray thee: he shall say, 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 if the book were delivered to him that does not know how to read, saying, Read this, I pray thee: he shall say, I do not know how to read.

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

13 T herefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people sacrifice unto me and honour me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, and their worship with which they honour me was taught by the commandment 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 again do a marvellous work among this people with a fearful miracle: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the prudence of their prudent men shall fade away.

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

15 W oe unto those that hide themselves from the LORD, covering the counsel; and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

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

16 S urely your subversion shall be as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He did not make me? or shall the vessel say of him that made it, He did not understand?

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 ¶ Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel a fruitful field, and shall not Carmel be esteemed as a forest?

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

18 A nd in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see in the midst of darkness, and of gross darkness.

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

19 T hen the humble shall grow in joy in the LORD, and the poor 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 violent one shall be done away with, and the scorner shall be consumed, and all those that rose early unto iniquity shall be cut off:

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

21 T hose that made men to sin in word; those that laid a snare for him that reproved in the gate, and turned that which is just into vanity.

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

22 T herefore thus saith the LORD, who ransomed Abraham, unto the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax 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 he shall see his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and shall sanctify 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 those that erred in spirit shall learn understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

وَسَيَفهَمُ الضّالُّونَ بأرْواحِهِمْ، وَالمُتَمَرِّدُونَ سَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ.»
