¹Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness;

¹ويل للذين يقضون اقضية البطل وللكتبة الذين يسجلون جورا

²to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

²ليصدّوا الضعفاء عن الحكم ويسلبوا حق بائسي شعبي لتكون الارامل غنيمتهم وينهبوا الايتام.

³And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

³وماذا تفعلون في يوم العقاب حين تاتي التهلكة من بعيد. الى من تهربون للمعونة واين تتركون مجدكم.

⁴They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

⁴اما يجثون بين الاسرى واما يسقطون تحت القتلى. مع كل هذا لم يرتد غضبه بل يده ممدودة بعد

⁵Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!

⁵ويل لاشور قضيب غضبي. والعصا في يدهم هي سخطي.

⁶I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

⁶على امة منافقة ارسله وعلى شعب سخطي اوصيه ليغتنم غنيمة وينهب نهبا ويجعلهم مدوسين كطين الازقة.

⁷Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

⁷اما هو فلا يفتكر هكذا ولا يحسب قلبه هكذا بل في قلبه ان يبيد ويقرض امما ليست بقليلة.

⁸For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?

⁸فانه يقول أليست رؤسائي جميعا ملوكا.

⁹Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

⁹أليست كلنو مثل كركميش. أليست حماة مثل ارفاد. أليست السامرة مثل دمشق.

¹⁰As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

¹⁰كما اصابت يدي ممالك الاوثان واصنامها المنحوتة هي اكثر من التي لاورشليم وللسامرة

¹¹shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

¹¹أفليس كما صنعت بالسامرة وباوثانها اصنع باورشليم واصنامها.

¹²Wherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

¹²فيكون متى اكمل السيد كل عمله بجبل صهيون وباورشليم اني اعاقب ثمر عظمة ملك اشور وفخر رفعة عينيه.

¹³For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and like a valiant man I have brought down them that sit [on thrones]:

¹³لانه قال بقدرة يدي صنعت وبحكمتي. لاني فهيم. ونقلت تخوم شعوب ونهبت ذخائرهم وحططت الملوك كبطل.

¹⁴and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.

¹⁴فاصابت يدي ثروة الشعوب كعش وكما يجمع بيض مهجور جمعت انا كل الارض ولم يكون مرفرف جناح ولا فاتح فم ولا مصفصف.

¹⁵Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.

¹⁵هل تفتخر الفأس على القاطع بها او يتكبر المنشار على مردده. كأن القضيب يحرك رافعه. كأن العصا ترفع من ليس هو عودا

¹⁶Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.

¹⁶لذلك يرسل السيد سيد الجنود على سمانه هزالا ويوقد تحت مجده وقيدا كوقيد النار.

¹⁷And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.

¹⁷ويصير نور اسرائيل نارا وقدوسه لهيبا فيحرق ويأكل حسكه وشوكه في يوم واحد

¹⁸And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

¹⁸ويفني مجد وعره وبستانه النفس والجسد جميعا. فيكون كذوبان المريض.

¹⁹And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child may write them.

¹⁹وبقية اشجار وعره تكون قليلة حتى يكتبها صبي

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

²⁰ويكون في ذلك اليوم ان بقية اسرائيل والناجين من بيت يعقوب لا يعودون يتوكلون ايضا على ضاربهم بل يتوكلون على الرب قدوس اسرائيل بالحق

²¹A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

²¹ترجع البقية بقية يعقوب الى الله القدير.

²²For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a destruction [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.

²²لانه وان كان شعبك يا اسرائيل كرمل البحر ترجع بقية منه. قد قضي بفناء فائض بالعدل.

²³For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.

²³لان السيد رب الجنود يصنع فناء وقضاء في كل الارض

²⁴Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

²⁴ولكن هكذا يقول السيد رب الجنود لا تخف من اشور يا شعبي الساكن في صهيون. يضربك بالقضيب ويرفع عصاه عليك على اسلوب مصر.

²⁵For yet a very little while, and the indignation [against thee] shall be accomplished, and mine anger [shall be directed] to his destruction.

²⁵لانه بعد قليل جدا يتم السخط وغضبي في ابادتهم.

²⁶And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

²⁶ويقيم عليه رب الجنود سوطا كضربة مديان عند صخرة غراب وعصاه على البحر ويرفعها على اسلوب مصر.

²⁷And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.

²⁷ويكون في ذلك اليوم ان حمله يزول عن كتفك ونيره عن عنقك ويتلف النير بسبب السمانة

²⁸He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;

²⁸قد جاء الى عيّاث. عبر بمجرون. وضع في مخماش امتعته.

²⁹they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

²⁹عبروا المعبر باتوا في جبع. ارتعدت الرامة هربت جبعة شاول

³⁰Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!

³⁰اصهلي بصوتك يا بنت جلّيم. اسمعي يا ليشة. مسكينة هي عناثوث

³¹Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.

³¹هربت مدمينة. احتمى سكان جيبيم.

³²This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

³²اليوم يقف في نوب. يهز يده على جبل بنت صهيون اكمة اورشليم

³³Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror: and the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.

³³هوذا السيد رب الجنود يقضب الاغصان برعب والمرتفعو القامة يقطعون والمتشامخون ينخفضون.

³⁴And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

³⁴ويقطع غاب الوعر بالحديد ويسقط لبنان بقدير
