¹The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

¹وحي من جهة وادي الرؤيا. فمالك انك صعدت جميعا على السطوح

²You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

²يا ملآنة من الجلبة المدينة العجاجة القرية المفتخرة. قتلاك ليس هم قتلى السيف ولا موتى الحرب.

³All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.

³جميع رؤسائك هربوا معا. أسروا بالقسي. كل الموجودين بك أسروا معا. من بعيد فروا.

⁴Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴لذلك قلت اقتصروا عني فابكي بمرارة. لا تلحوا بتعزيتي عن خراب بنت شعبي

⁵For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”

⁵ان للسيد رب الجنود في وادي الرؤيا يوم شغب ودوس وارتباك. نقب سور وصراخ الى الجبل.

⁶Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

⁶فعيلام قد حملت الجعبة بمركبات رجال فرسان. وقير قد كشفت المجن.

⁷It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

⁷فتكون افضل اوديتك ملآنة مركبات والفرسان تصطف اصطفافا نحو الباب.

⁸He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

⁸ويكشف ستر يهوذا فتنظر في ذلك اليوم الى اسلحة بيت الوعر.

⁹You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

⁹ورأيتم شقوق مدينة داود انها صارت كثيرة وجمعتم مياه البركة السفلى.

¹⁰You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

¹⁰وعددتم بيوت اورشليم وهدمتم البيوت لتحصين السور.

¹¹You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.

¹¹وصنعتم خندقا بين السورين لمياه البركة العتيقة. لكن لم تنظروا الى صانعه ولم تروا مصوره من قديم.

¹²In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:

¹²ودعا السيد رب الجنود في ذلك اليوم الى البكاء والنوح والقرعة والتنطق بالمسح

¹³and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”

¹³فهوذا بهجة وفرح ذبح بقر ونحر غنم اكل لحم وشرب خمر. لناكل ونشرب لاننا غدا نموت.

¹⁴Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁴فاعلن في اذنيّ رب الجنود لا يغفرنّ لكم هذا الاثم حتى تموتوا يقول السيد رب الجنود

¹⁵Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

¹⁵هكذا قال السيد رب الجنود. اذهب ادخل الى هذا جليس الملك الى شبنا الذي على البيت.

¹⁶‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

¹⁶مالك ههنا ومن لك ههنا حتى نقرت لنفسك ههنا قبرا ايها الناقر في العلو قبره الناحت لنفسه في الصخر مسكنا.

¹⁷Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

¹⁷هوذا الرب يطرحك طرحا يا رجل ويغطيك تغطية

¹⁸He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.

¹⁸يلفك لف لفيفة كالكرة الى ارض واسعة الطرفين. هناك تموت وهناك تكون مركبات مجدك يا خزي بيت سيدك.

¹⁹I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

¹⁹واطردك من منصبك ومن مقامك يحطك

²⁰It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

²⁰ويكون في ذلك اليوم اني ادعو عبدي الياقيم بن حلقيا

²¹and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

²¹والبسه ثوبك واشده بمنطقتك واجعل سلطانك في يده فيكون ابا لسكان اورشليم ولبيت يهوذا.

²²I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.

²²واجعل مفتاح بيت داود على كتفه فيفتح وليس من يغلق ويغلق وليس من يفتح.

²³I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.

²³واثبته وتدا في موضع امين ويكون كرسي مجد لبيت ابيه.

²⁴They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.

²⁴ويعلقون عليه كل مجد بيت ابيه الفروع والقضبان كل آنية صغيرة من آنية الطسوس الى آنية القناني جميعا

²⁵“In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”

²⁵في ذلك اليوم يقول رب الجنود يزول الوتد المثبت في موضع امين ويقطع ويسقط. ويباد الثقل الذي عليه لان الرب قد تكلم
