Isaiah 10

NIV — New International Version Bible (NIV)

NAV — Ketab El Hayat (NAV)

Verse 1

Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,

وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَسُنُّونَ شَرَائِعَ ظُلْمٍ، وَلِلْكَتَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يُسَجِّلُونَ أَحْكَامَ جَوْرٍ!

Verse 2

to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.

لِيَصُدُّوا الْبَائِسِينَ عَنِ الْعَدْلِ، وَيَسْلُبُوا مَسَاكِينَ شَعْبِي حَقَّهُمْ، لِتَكُونَ الأَرَامِلُ مَغْنَماً لَهُمْ، وَيَنْهَبُوا الْيَتَامَى.

Verse 3

What will you do on the day of reckoning,
when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
Where will you leave your riches?

فَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي يَوْمِ الْعِقَابِ عِنْدَمَا تُقْبِلُ الْكَارِثَةُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ؟ إِلَى مَنْ تَلْجَأُونَ طَلَباً لِلْعَوْنِ، وَأَيْنَ تُوْدِعُونَ ثَرْوَتَكُمْ؟

Verse 4

Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
or fall among the slain.

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.

God’s Judgment on Assyria

لَا يَبْقَى شَيْءٌ سِوَى أَنْ تَجْثُوا بَيْنَ الأَسْرَى، وَتَسْقُطُوا بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ لَمْ يَرْتَدْ غَضَبُهُ وَمَا بَرِحَتْ يَدُهُ مَمْدُودَةً لِلْعِقَابِ.

حكم الله على أشور

Verse 5

“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger,
in whose hand is the club of my wrath!

وَيْلٌ لِلأَشُّورِيِّينَ، قَضِيبِ غَضَبِي، الْحَامِلِينَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ عَصَا سَخَطِي.

Verse 6

I send him against a godless nation,
I dispatch him against a people who anger me,
to seize loot and snatch plunder,
and to trample them down like mud in the streets.

أُرْسِلُهُمْ ضِدَّ أُمَّةٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ، وَأُوْصِيهُمْ عَلَى شَعْبِي الَّذي غَضِبْتُ عَلَيْهِ، لِيَغْنَمُوا غَنَائِمَهُمْ وَيَسْتَوْلُوا عَلَى أَسْلابِهِمْ، وَيَطَأُوهُمْ كَمَا يَطَأُونَ الوَحْلَ.

Verse 7

But this is not what he intends,
this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
to put an end to many nations.

وَلَكِنَّ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ، وَيَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ قَدْ هَاجَمَ شَعْبِي، وَفِي نِيَّتِهِ أَنْ يُدَمِّرَ وَيَجْتَاحَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً.

Verse 8

‘Are not my commanders all kings?’ he says.

لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: أَلَيْسَ كُلُّ قُوَّادِي مُلُوكاً؟

Verse 9

‘Has not Kalno fared like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad,
and Samaria like Damascus?

أَلَيْسَ مَصِيرُ كَلْنُو كَمَصِيرِ كَرْكَمِيشَ؟ أَوَ لَيْسَ مَآلُ حَمَاةَ كَمَآلِ أَرْفَادَ؟ أَلَيْسَتِ السَّامِرَةُ كَدِمَشْقَ؟

Verse 10

As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols,
kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—

لَقَدْ قَضَيْتُ عَلَى مَمَالِكَ وَثَنِيَّةٍ أَصْنَامُهَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَصْنَامِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَالسَّامِرَةِ!

Verse 11

shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images
as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’”

أَفَلا أَقْضِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَصْنَامِهَا كَمَا قَضَيْتُ عَلَى السَّامِرَةِ وَأَصْنَامِهَا؟

Verse 12

When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes.

وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا يَنْتَهِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ بِجَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيُعَاقِبُ مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ عَلَى غُرُورِ قَلْبِهِ وَتَشَامُخِ عَيْنَيْهِ،

Verse 13

For he says:

“‘By the strength of my hand I have done this,
    and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
    I plundered their treasures;
    like a mighty one I subdued^[a] their kings.

لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: بِقُوَّةِ ذِرَاعِي قَدْ صَنَعْتُ هَذَا، وَبِحِكْمَتِي، لأَنَّنِي فَهِيمٌ! قَدْ نَقَلْتُ تُخُومَ الأُمَمِ، وَنَهَبْتُ كُنُوزَهُمْ، وَعَزَلْتُ الْجَالِسِينَ عَلَى الْعُرُوشِ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ ذُو الْبَطْشِ.

Verse 14

As one reaches into a nest,
    so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
    so I gathered all the countries;
not one flapped a wing,
    or opened its mouth to chirp.’”

وَكَمَا تَسْتَحْوِذُ يَدُ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى الْعُشِّ، هَكَذَا اسْتَحْوَذَتْ يَدِي عَلَى ثَرْوَاتِ الشُّعُوبِ. وَكَمَا يَجْمَعُ الإِنْسَانُ الْبَيْضَ الْمَهْجُورَ، هَكَذَا جَمَعْتُ الأَرْضَ بِأَسْرِهَا، فَلَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحَرِّكَ جَنَاحاً أَوْ يَفْتَحَ فَاهاً أَوْ يَنْبِسَ بِهَمْسَةٍ.

Verse 15

Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club brandish the one who is not wood!

أَتَزْهُو الْفَأْسُ عَلَى مَنْ يَقْطَعُ بِها، أَمْ يَتَعَظَّمُ الْمِنْشَارُ عَلَى مَنْ يَنْشُرُ بِهِ، وَكَأَنَّ الْقَضِيبَ يُحَرِّكُ رَافِعَهُ، أَوْ كَأَنَّ الْعَصَا تَرْفَعُ مَا لَيْسَ خَشَباً!

Verse 16

Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors;
under his pomp a fire will be kindled
like a blazing flame.

لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ سَيُفْشِي وَبَأً مُهْلِكاً بَيْنَ مُحَارِبِيهِ الشُّجْعَانِ، وَيُوْقِدُ تَحْتَ مَجْدِهِ وَقِيداً كَاشْتِعَالِ النَّارِ،

Verse 17

The Light of Israel will become a fire,
their Holy One a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns and his briers.

فَيُصْبِحُ نُورُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَاراً، وَقُدُّوسُهُ لَهِيباً، فَتَشْتَعِلُ وَتَلْتَهِمُ شَوْكَهُ وَحَسَكَهُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ،

Verse 18

The splendor of his forests and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,
as when a sick person wastes away.

فَيُدَمِّرُ الرَّبُّ مَجْدَ غَابَاتِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ الْخَصِيبَةِ، الرُّوحَ وَالْجَسَدَ مَعاً، فَتَكُونُ كَمَرِيضٍ تَذْوِي حَيَاتُهُ،

Verse 19

And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few
that a child could write them down.

The Remnant of Israel

وَلا يَتَبَقَّى مِنْ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ إِلّا قِلَّةٌ يُحْصِيهَا صَبِيٌّ.

بقية إسرائيل

Verse 20

In that day the remnant of Israel,
    the survivors of Jacob,
will no longer rely on him
    who struck them down
but will truly rely on the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel.

فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَا تَعُودُ بَقِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالنَّاجُونَ مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى مَنْ ضَرَبَهُمْ، بَلْ يَعْتَمِدُونَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْحَقِّ.

Verse 21

A remnant will return,^[b] a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.

وَتَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ.

Verse 22

Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.
Destruction has been decreed,
overwhelming and righteous.

مَعَ أَنَّ شَعْبَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ، فَإِنَّ بَقِيَّةً فَقَطْ تَرْجِعُ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَضَى بِفَنَائِهِمْ، وَقَضَاؤُهُ عَادِلٌ.

Verse 23

The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

فَالرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ يُجْرِي الْفَنَاءَ وَالْقَضَاءَ فِي وَسَطِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

Verse 24

Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:

“My people who live in Zion,
do not be afraid of the Assyrians,
who beat you with a rod
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.

لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ القَدِيرُ: «يَا شَعْبِي الْمُقِيمَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، لَا تَخَفْ مِنْ أَشُورَ عِنْدَمَا يَضْرِبُكَ بِقَضِيبٍ، وَيَرْفَعُ عَلَيْكَ عَصَاهُ كَمَا فَعَلَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ،

Verse 25

Very soon my anger against you will end
and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”

فَإِنَّهُ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ يَكْتَمِلُ سَخَطِي، وَيَنْصَبُّ غَضَبِي لإِبَادَتِهِمْ».

Verse 26

The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff over the waters,
as he did in Egypt.

وَلا يَلْبَثُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ أَنْ يَهُزَّ عَلَيْهِ سَوْطاً كَمَا ضَرَبَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ عِنْدَ صَخْرَةِ غُرَابٍ، وَيَرْفَعُ قَضِيبَهُ فَوْقَ الْبَحْرِ مِثْلَمَا فَعَلَ فِي مِصْرَ.

Verse 27

In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke from your neck;
the yoke will be broken
because you have grown so fat.^[c]

فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَتَدَحْرَجُ حِمْلُهُ عَنْ كَتِفِكَ، وَيَتَحَطَّمُ نِيرُهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ لأَنَّ عُنُقَكَ أَصْبَحَ غَلِيظاً.

Verse 28

They enter Aiath;
they pass through Migron;
they store supplies at Mikmash.

هَا هُوَ جَيْشُ أَشُورَ مُقْبِلٌ؛ قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَى عَيَّاثَ، وَاجْتَازَ بِمِجْرُونَ. وَضَعَ مَؤُونَتَهُ فِي مِخْمَاشَ.

Verse 29

They go over the pass, and say,
“We will camp overnight at Geba.”
Ramah trembles;
Gibeah of Saul flees.

قَطَعُوا الْمَعْبَرَ، وَبَاتُوا فِي جَبَعَ. ارْتَعَدَ أَهْلُ الرَّامَةِ، وَهَرَبَ سُكَّانُ جِبْعَةَ شَاوُلَ.

Verse 30

Cry out, Daughter Gallim!
Listen, Laishah!
Poor Anathoth!

اصْرُخِي يَا بِنْتَ جَلِّيمَ، وَاسْمَعِي يَا لَيْشَةُ، وَأَجِيبِي يَا مَدِينَةَ عَنَاثُوثَ.

Verse 31

Madmenah is in flight;
the people of Gebim take cover.

هَرَبَ أَهْلُ مَدْمِنَةَ. فَرَّ سُكَّانُ جِيبِيمَ طَلَباً لِلنَّجَاةِ.

Verse 32

This day they will halt at Nob;
they will shake their fist
at the mount of Daughter Zion,
at the hill of Jerusalem.

الْيَوْمَ يَتَوَقَّفُ فِي نُوبَ وَيَهُزُّ قَبْضَتَهُ عَلَى جَبَلِ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، أَكَمَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Verse 33

See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will lop off the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,
the tall ones will be brought low.

لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يُحَطِّمُ الأَغْصَانَ بِعُنْفُوَانٍ. فَكُلُّ مُتَطَاولٍ يُقْطَعُ، وَكُلُّ مٍتَشامِخٍ يُذَلُّ.

Verse 34

He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax;
Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.

تُسْتَأْصَلُ أَجَمَاتُ الْغابَةِ بِفَأْسٍ، وَيَسْقُطُ لُبْنَانُ أَمَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَهُوبٍ.
