1Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
1ولكن لا يكون ظلام للتي عليها ضيق. كما اهان الزمان الاول ارض زبولون وارض نفتالي يكرم الاخير طريق البحر عبر الاردن جليل الامم.
2The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
2الشعب السالك في الظلمة ابصر نورا عظيما. الجالسون في ارض ظلال الموت اشرق عليهم نور.
3Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
3اكثرت الامة عظمت لها الفرح. يفرحون امامك كالفرح في الحصاد. كالذين يبتهجون عندما يقتسمون غنيمة.
4For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
4لان نير ثقله وعصا كتفه وقضيب مسخّره كسرتهنّ كما في يوم مديان.
5For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
5لان كل سلاح المتسلح في الوغى وكل رداء مدحرج في الدماء يكون للحريق ماكلأ للنار.
6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
6لانه يولد لنا ولد ونعطى ابنا وتكون الرياسة على كتفه ويدعى اسمه عجيبا مشيرا الها قديرا ابا ابديا رئيس السلام.
7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
7لنمو رياسته وللسلام لا نهاية على كرسي داود وعلى مملكته ليثبتها ويعضدها بالحق والبر من الآن الى الابد. غيرة رب الجنود تصنع هذا
8The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
8ارسل الرب قولا في يعقوب فوقع في اسرائيل.
9And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
9فيعرف الشعب كله افرايم وسكان السامرة القائلون بكبرياء وبعظمة قلب
10The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
10قد هبط اللبن فنبني بحجارة منحوتة. قطع الجميز فنستخلفه بأرز.
11Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
11فيرفع الرب اخصام رصين عليه ويهيج اعداءه
12The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
12الاراميين من قدام والفلسطينيين من وراء فيأكلون اسرائيل بكل الفم. مع كل هذا لم يرتد غضبه بل يده ممدودة بعد
13For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
13والشعب لم يرجع الى ضاربه ولم يطلب رب الجنود.
14Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
14فيقطع الرب من اسرائيل الراس والذنب النخل والاسل في يوم واحد.
15The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
15الشيخ والمعتبر هو الراس والنبي الذي يعلم بالكذب هو الذنب.
16For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
16وصار مرشدو هذا الشعب مضلين ومرشدوه مبتلعين.
17Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
17لاجل ذلك لا يفرح السيد بفتيانه ولا يرحم يتاماه وارامله لان كل واحد منهم منافق وفاعل شر. وكل فم متكلم بالحماقة. مع كل هذا لم يرتد غضبه بل يده ممدودة بعد
18For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
18لان الفجور يحرق كالنار. تأكل الشوك والحسك وتشعل غاب الوعر فتلتف عمود دخان.
19Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
19بسخط رب الجنود تحرق الارض ويكون الشعب كمأكل للنار لا يشفق الانسان على اخيه.
20And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
20يلتهم على اليمين فيجوع وياكل على الشمال فلا يشبع. يأكلون كل واحد لحم ذراعه
21Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
21منسّى افرايم وافرايم منسّى وهما معا على يهوذا. مع كل هذا لم يرتد غضبه بل يده ممدودة بعد
