Isaiah 30

NIV — New International Version Bible (NIV)

NAV — Ketab El Hayat (NAV)

Verse 1

“Woe to the obstinate children,”
    declares the Lord,
“to those who carry out plans that are not mine,
    forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit,
    heaping sin upon sin;

يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «وَيْلٌ لِلْبَنِينَ الْمُتَمَرِّدينَ الَّذِينَ يَنْصَاعُونَ لِمَشُورَةٍ لَمْ تَصْدُرْ عَنِّي، وَيُبْرِمُونَ عَهْداً لَيْسَ مِنْ رُوحِي، لِيُضِيفُوا خَطِيئَةً إِلَى خَطِيئَةٍ.

Verse 2

who go down to Egypt
without consulting me;
who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection,
to Egypt’s shade for refuge.

الَّذِينَ يَتَأَهَّبُونَ لِلِانْحِدَارِ إِلَى مِصْرَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَلْجَأُوا إِلَى مَشُورَتِي، لِيَلُوذُوا بِحِمَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَيَعْتَصِمُوا بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ،

Verse 3

But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,
Egypt’s shade will bring you disgrace.

لِذَلِكَ يَصِيرُ لَكُمْ حِصْنُ فِرْعَوْنَ عَاراً، وَالاحْتِمَاءُ بِظِلِّ مِصْرَ خِزْياً،

Verse 4

Though they have officials in Zoan
and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,

وَمَعَ أَنَّ سُلْطَانَهُ امْتَدَّ إِلَى صُوعَنَ وَحَانِيسَ حَتَّى أَقَامَ فِيهَا لِنَفْسِهِ وُلاةً وَمُمَثَّلِينَ

Verse 5

everyone will be put to shame
because of a people useless to them,
who bring neither help nor advantage,
but only shame and disgrace.”

فَإِنَّهُمْ يُلْحِقُونَ بِكُمُ العَارَ وَيَجْلِبُونَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْخِزْيَ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ».

Verse 6

A prophecy concerning the animals of the Negev:

Through a land of hardship and distress,
    of lions and lionesses,
    of adders and darting snakes,
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’ backs,
    their treasures on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,

نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ وُحُوشِ النَّقَبِ: عَبْرَ أَرْضِ العَنَاءِ وَالأَهْوَالِ حَيْثُ تَعِيشُ الأُسُودُ وَالأَفَاعِي، تَحْمِلُ قَوَافِلُهُمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ عَلَى ظُهُورِ حَمِيرِهِمْ، وَكُنُوزَهُمْ عَلَى أَسْنِمَةِ جِمَالِهِمْ إِلَى مِصْرَ الَّتِي لَا رَجَاءَ فِيهَا.

Verse 7

to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.
Therefore I call her
Rahab the Do-Nothing.

لأَنَّ عَوْنَ مِصْرَ بَاطِلٌ لَا طَائِلَ مِنْهُ، لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْتَهَا «التِّنِّينَ الْعَاصِي».

Verse 8

Go now, write it on a tablet for them,
inscribe it on a scroll,
that for the days to come
it may be an everlasting witness.

وَالآنَ، امْضِ وَدَوِّنْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى لَوْحٍ، وَسَجِّلْهُ فِي كِتَابٍ لِيَكُونَ شَاهِداً أَبَدِيًّا فِي الأَيَّامِ الآتِيَةِ.

Verse 9

For these are rebellious people, deceitful children,
children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.

لأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، أَبْنَاءٌ كَذَبَةٌ، يَأْبُونَ الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ،

Verse 10

They say to the seers,
    “See no more visions!”
and to the prophets,
    “Give us no more visions of what is right!
Tell us pleasant things,
    prophesy illusions.

وَيَقُولُونَ لِلأَنْبِياءِ: «لا تَتَنَبَّأُوا لَنَا بِمَا هُوَ حَقٌّ، بَلْ كَلِّمُونَا بِالْكَلامِ الْمُدَاهِنِ وَتَنَبَّأُوا بِالْمُخَادِعَاتِ.

Verse 11

Leave this way,
get off this path,
and stop confronting us
with the Holy One of Israel!”

اعْدِلُوا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، حِيدُوا عَنِ السَّبِيلِ، وَكُفُّوا عَنْ مُجَابَهَتِنَا بِكَلامِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

Verse 12

Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“Because you have rejected this message,
relied on oppression
and depended on deceit,

لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لأَنَّكُمُ ازْدَرَيْتُمْ بهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ وَاتَّكَلْتُمْ عَلَى الْجَوْرِ وَالانْحِرَافِ وَاعْتَمَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمَا،

Verse 13

this sin will become for you
like a high wall, cracked and bulging,
that collapses suddenly, in an instant.

لِذَلِكَ يُصْبِحُ هَذَا الذَّنْبُ لَكُمْ كَصَدْعٍ نَاتِئٍ فِي سُورٍ عَالٍ مُشْرِفٍ عَلَى الانّهِيَارِ الَّذِي يَحْدُثُ بَغْتَةً وَفِى لَحْظَةٍ

Verse 14

It will break in pieces like pottery,
    shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found
    for taking coals from a hearth
    or scooping water out of a cistern.”

وَيَكُونُ انْهِيَارُهُ كَكَسْرِ إِنَاءِ خَزَّافٍ تَمَّ سَحْقُهُ بِقَسْوَةٍ، فَلَمْ تَبْقَ مِنْهُ شَقْفَةٌ لِالْتِقَاطِ نَارٍ مِنَ الْمَوْقِدِ أَوْ لِغَرْفِ مَاءٍ مِنَ الْجُبِّ.

Verse 15

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.

لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ خَلاصَكُمْ مَرْهُونٌ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَالرُّكُونِ إِلَيَّ، وَقُوَّتَكُمْ فِي الطُّمَأْنِينَةِ وَالثِّقَةِ، لَكِنَّكُمْ أَبَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ،

Verse 16

You said, ‘No, we will flee on horses.’
Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
Therefore your pursuers will be swift!

وَقُلْتُمْ: لَا بَلْ نَهْرُبُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، أَنْتُمْ حَقّاً تَهْرُبُونَ. وَقُلْتُمْ: سَنَرْكَبُ عَلَى مُتُونِ جِيَادٍ سَرِيعَةٍ، لِهَذَا فَإِنَّ مُطَارِدِيكُمْ يُسْرِعُونَ فِي تَعَقُّبِكُمْ.

Verse 17

A thousand will flee
    at the threat of one;
at the threat of five
    you will all flee away,
till you are left
    like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
    like a banner on a hill.”

يَهْرُبُ أَلْفٌ مِنْكُمْ أَمَامَ زَجْرَةِ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَتَشَتَّتُونَ جَمِيعاً أَمَامَ زَجْرَةِ خَمْسَةٍ، حَتَّى تُتْرَكُوا كَسَارِيَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ أَوْ كَرَايَةٍ عَلَى قِمَّةِ تَلٍّ».

Verse 18

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!

وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَنْتَطِرُ حَتَّى يُبْدِيَ نَحْوَكُمْ عَطْفَهُ، لِهَذَا يَقُومُ لِيَرْحَمَكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ إِلَهُ عَدْلٍ، فَطُوبَى لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ.

Verse 19

People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.

يَا شَعْبَ صِهْيَوْنَ الْمُقِيمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لَنْ تَبْكِيَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْحَمُكَ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ صَوْتِ بُكَائِكَ، وَحَالَمَا يَسْمَعُ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكَ.

Verse 20

Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.

وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ يُعْطِيكَ خُبْزاً فِي الْمِحْنَةِ، وَمَاءً فِي الضَّنْكِ فَإِنَّ مُعَلِّمَكَ لَنْ يَحْجُبَ نَفْسَهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ بَعْدُ، بَلْ تَرَى عَيْنَاكَ مُعَلِّمَكَ.

Verse 21

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

وَتَسْمَعُ أُذْنَاكَ كَلِمَةً صَادِرَةً مِنْ خَلْفِكَ قَائِلَةً:

Verse 22

Then you will desecrate your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold; you will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, “Away with you!”

«هَذِهِ هِيَ الطَّرِيقُ لَا تَحِيدُوا عَنْهَا يَمِيناً أَوْ يَسَاراً اسْلُكُوا فِيهَا» وَتُدَنِّسُونَ كُلَّ أَصْنَامِكُمُ الْفِضِّيَّةِ وَالذَّهَبيَّةِ، وَتُلْقُونَ بِها بَعِيداً كَخِرْقَةٍ مُلَوَّثَةٍ بِدَمِ حَائِضٍ وَتَقُولُونَ لَهَا: «اذْهَبِي بِلا رَجْعَةٍ».

Verse 23

He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows.

وَيَسْكُبُ الرَّبُّ مَطَرَهُ عَلَى بُذُورِكَ الَّتِي تَزْرَعُهَا فِي الأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ الطَّعَامُ الَّذِي تُغِلُّهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ سَمِيناً دَسِماً، فَتَرْعَى مَوَاشِيكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فِي مَرَاعٍ فَسِيحَةٍ،

Verse 24

The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel.

وَتَأْكُلُ ثِيرَانُكَ وَحَمِيرُكَ الَّتِي تَحْرُثُ الأَرْضَ عَلَفاً مُمَلَّحاً مُذَرّىً بِالرَّفْشِ وَالْمِذْرَاةِ.

Verse 25

In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill.

وَفِي يَوْمِ مَجْزَرَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، حِينَمَا تَنْهَارُ الأَبْرَاجُ، تَتَدَفَّقُ شَلّالاتُ مِيَاهٍ وَجَدَاوِلُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ وَتَلٍّ،

Verse 26

The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.

وَيُصْبِحُ نُورُ الْقَمَرِ كَنُورِ الشَّمْسِ، وَيَتَضَاعَفُ نَورُ الشَّمْسِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ كَنُورِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فِي يَوْمٍ يَجْبُرُ الرَّبُّ فِيهِ كَسْرَ شَعْبِهِ وَيَشْفِي رُضُوضَ ضَرَبَاتِهِ.

Verse 27

See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar,
with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,
and his tongue is a consuming fire.

انْظُرُوا هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ بِغَضَبٍ مُتَوَهِّجٍ وَدُخَانٍ مُتَكَاثِفٍ مَتَصَاعِدٍ. شَفَتَاهُ تَفِيضَانِ سَخَطاً، وَلِسَانُهُ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ،

Verse 28

His breath is like a rushing torrent,
    rising up to the neck.
He shakes the nations in the sieve of destruction;
    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit that leads them astray.

وَنَفْخَتُهُ كَسَيْلٍ جَارِفٍ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى الْعُنُقِ، لِيُغَرْبِلَ الأُمَمَ بِغُرْبَالِ الْهَلاكِ، وَلِيَضَعَ لِجَاماً فِي فُكُوكِ الشُّعُوبِ إِضْلالاً لَهُمْ.

Verse 29

And you will sing
    as on the night you celebrate a holy festival;
your hearts will rejoice
    as when people playing pipes go up
to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the Rock of Israel.

أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَشْدُونَ كَمَا فِي لَيْلَةِ الاحْتِفَالِ بِعيدٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، وَتَبْتَهِجُ قُلَوبُكُمْ كَقَلْبِ مَنْ يَسِيرُ عَلَى أَلْحَانِ نَايٍ، آتِياً إِلَى جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ وَإِلَى صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Verse 30

The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice
and will make them see his arm coming down
with raging anger and consuming fire,
with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.

وَيُسَمِّعُ الرَّبُّ جَلالَ صَوْتِهِ وَيَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ يُعَايِنُونَ امْتِدَادَ ذِرَاعِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ بِلَهِيبِ غَضَبٍ ثَائِرٍ وَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، وَانْفِجَارِ أَمْطَارٍ وَعَوَاصِفَ وَبَرَدٍ.

Verse 31

The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;
with his rod he will strike them down.

فَيَرْتَاعُ أَشُورُ مِنْ زَئِيرِ صَوْتِهِ، وَيَضْرِبُهُ بِقَضِيبِهِ.

Verse 32

Every stroke the Lord lays on them
with his punishing club
will be to the music of timbrels and harps,
as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.

وَيُوْقِعُ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ ضَرْبَةٍ عَلَيْهِ بِقَضِيبِ عِقَابِهِ عَلَى أَنْغَامِ الدُّفُوفِ وَالْعِيدَانِ، وَيُحَارِبُ أَشُّورَ بِحُرُوبٍ ثَائِرَةٍ.

Verse 33

Topheth has long been prepared;
    it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
    with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath of the Lord,
    like a stream of burning sulfur,
    sets it ablaze.

لأَنَّ مُحْرَقَةَ الْمَوْتِ جَاهِزَةٌ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ وَحُفْرَتَهَا وَاسِعَةٌ، تَكَوَّمَتْ فِيهَا الأَخْشَابُ لِيُلْقَى فِيهَا مُولَكُ إِلَهُ الأَشُورِيِّينَ، فَتُضْرِمُهَا نَفْخَةُ الرَّبِّ كَسَيْلٍ مِنْ كِبْرِيتٍ.
