1 W oe to her who is rebellious and polluted, To the oppressing city!

وَيلٌ لَكِ أيَّتُها المَدِينَةُ المُتَمَرِّدَةُ الفاسِدَةُ الظّالِمَةُ!

2 S he has not obeyed His voice, She has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, She has not drawn near to her God.

الَّتِي لَمْ تُنصِتْ وَلَمْ تَقبَلِ التَّأْدِيبَ، التي لَمْ تَثِقْ بِاللهِ ، وَلَمْ تَتَقَرَّبْ إلَيهِ بِالتَّقْدِماتِ.

3 H er princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are evening wolves That leave not a bone till morning.

قادَتُها كَالأُسُودِ المُزَمجِرَةِ. قُضاتُها كَذِئابِ المَساءِ الَّتِي لا تَترُكُ شَيئاً لِلصَّباحِ.

4 H er prophets are insolent, treacherous people; Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have done violence to the law.

أنبِياؤُها جَشِعُونَ خائِنُونَ. كَهَنَتُها يُنَجِّسُونَ ما هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَيُخالِفُونَ الشَّرِيعَةَ ويتعدُّونَها.

5 T he Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, But the unjust knows no shame.

لَكِنَّ اللهَ ، الَّذِي هُوَ فِيها، بارٌّ، وَهُوَ لا يَعْمَلُ شَرّاً. صَباحاً وَراءَ صَباحٍ يَعْمَلُ ما هُوَ عادِلٌ، وَفِي المَساءِ لا يَتَوَقَّفُ عَنْ عَمَلِ العَدلِ. وَلَكِنَّ الشِّرِّيرَ لا يَخْجَلُ.

6 “ I have cut off nations, Their fortresses are devastated; I have made their streets desolate, With none passing by. Their cities are destroyed; There is no one, no inhabitant.

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «أفْنَيتُ أُمَماً، وَهَدَّمْتُ أبراجَهُمْ. أخرَبْتُ شَوارِعَهُمْ فَلا تَعُودُ تُعْبَرُ. صارَتْ مُدُنُهُمْ خَراباً بِلا ساكِنٍ.

7 I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me, You will receive instruction’— So that her dwelling would not be cut off, Despite everything for which I punished her. But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds. A Faithful Remnant

قُلْتُ: لا بُدَّ أنَّكِ سَتَخافِينَ مِنِّي، وَتَقبَلِينَ تأدِيبِي. فَلا يَزُولَ بَيتُكِ.» لَكِنَّ شَعبَكِ كانُوا أكثَرَ حَماساً لِلعَمَلِ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِمِ الفاسِدَةِ.

8 “ Therefore wait for Me,” says the Lord, “Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations To My assembly of kingdoms, To pour on them My indignation, All My fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured With the fire of My jealousy.

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «انتَظِرُونِي إلَى اليَوْمِ الَّذِي أقُومُ فِيهِ لِأشْهَدَ. لِأنِّي قَرَّرْتُ أنْ أجمَعَ الأُمَمَ وَالمَمالِكَ، لأسْكُبَ عَلَيهِمْ غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي. فَفِي نارِ غَيرَتِي سَتُحرَقُ كُلُّ الأرْضِ.

9 “ For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him with one accord.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأُطَهِّرُ كَلامَ النّاسِ كَي يَدعُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ بِاسْمِ اللهِ فَيَخدِمُونَهُ مَعاً.

10 F rom beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, The daughter of My dispersed ones, Shall bring My offering.

مِنْ وَراءِ أنهارِ كُوشَ، شَعبِي المُشَتَّتُ الَّذِي يَعْبُدُنِي، سَيَأْتِي بِتَقدِمَةٍ.

11 I n that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds In which you transgress against Me; For then I will take away from your midst Those who rejoice in your pride, And you shall no longer be haughty In My holy mountain.

«فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، لَنْ تَخزَي بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ الجَرائِمِ الَّتِي ارتَكَبْتِها بِحَقِّي. فَأنا، فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأُزِيلُ مِنْ وَسَطِكِ كُلَّ المُتَفاخِرِينَ، وَلَنْ تَعُودِي تَتَصَرَّفِينَ بِعَجرَفَةٍ وَكِبْرِياءٍ عَلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ.

12 I will leave in your midst A meek and humble people, And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.

لَكِنِّي سَأُبقِي فِيكِ شَعباً مُتَواضِعاً يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ.

13 T he remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness And speak no lies, Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, And no one shall make them afraid.” Joy in God’s Faithfulness

أمّا النّاجُونَ مِنْ إسْرائِيلَ فَلَنْ يَعْمَلُوا شَرّاً وَلَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالكَذِبِ، وَلَنْ يُوجَد في أفواهِهِم خِداعٌ. لِأنَّهُمْ سَيَرْعُونَ وَيَربِضُونَ بِلا خَوفٍ مِنْ سالِبِيهِمْ.» قَصِيدَةُ فَرَح

14 S ing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!

يا صِهْيَوْنُ العَزيزَة، غَنِّي! يا بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، اهتِفُوا بِفَرَحٍ! أًيَّتُها القُدْسُ العَزيزَةُ، ابتَهِجِي وَافرَحِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكِ!

15 T he Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.

رَفَع اللهُ الحُكْمَ عَنْكِ. وَرَدَّ أعداءَكِ الَّذِينَ أرسَلَهُمْ. اللهُ هُوَ مَلِكُ إسْرائِيلَ، وَهُوَ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَلا تَخشَي مِنَ العِقابِ فِيما بَعْدُ.

16 I n that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَقُولُ النّاسُ لمَدينَةِ القُدْسِ: «يا صِهْيَوْنُ، لا تَخافِي وَلا تَسْتَسلِمِي.

17 T he Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

إلَهُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ. إنَّهُ جَبّارٌ يُنقِذُكِ. يَتَغَنَّى فَرَحاً بِكِ وَيُجَدِّدُ مَحَبَّتَهُ لَكِ. سَيَفرَحُ بِكِ بابتِهاجٍ،

18 “ I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden.

وَكَما يُصنَعُ فِي يَوْمٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، سَأرفَعُ العارَ عَنكِ، فَلا يَسْخَرُ بِكِ أحَدٌ.

19 B ehold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame In every land where they were put to shame.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقْتِ، سأُعاقِبُ ظالِمِيكِ. سَأُنقِذُ الأعْرَجَ، وَسَأُعِيدُ المَطرُودِينَ وَأجمَعُهُمْ. سَأُعْطِيهِمْ مَديْحاً وَسُمعَةً حَسَنَةً فِي كُلِّ أرْضٍ تَعَرَّضُوا فِيها لِلخِزْيِ.

20 A t that time I will bring you back, Even at the time I gather you; For I will give you fame and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I return your captives before your eyes,” Says the Lord.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأُعِيدُكُمْ. حِينَ أُعِيدُكُمْ وَأجمَعُكُمْ، سَأُعطِيكُمْ سُمعَةً حَسَنَةً وَتَسْبِيحاً وَسَطَ كُلِّ شُعُوبِ الأرْضِ، حِينَ أُعِيدُ ثَرَواتِكُمُ الَّتِي سَتَرَوْنَها بِعُيونِكُمْ.» هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ.
