Isaiah 9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 But there will be no gloom for her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.	1 ولكن لا يكون ظلام للتي عليها ضيق. كما اهان الزمان الاول ارض زبولون وارض نفتالي يكرم الاخير طريق البحر عبر الاردن جليل الامم.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.	2 الشعب السالك في الظلمة ابصر نورا عظيما. الجالسون في ارض ظلال الموت اشرق عليهم نور.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased its joy; they rejoice before thee as with joy at the harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.	3 اكثرت الامة عظمت لها الفرح. يفرحون امامك كالفرح في الحصاد. كالذين يبتهجون عندما يقتسمون غنيمة.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as on the day of Midian.	4 لان نير ثقله وعصا كتفه وقضيب مسخّره كسرتهنّ كما في يوم مديان.
5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.	5 لان كل سلاح المتسلح في الوغى وكل رداء مدحرج في الدماء يكون للحريق ماكلأ للنار.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."	6 لانه يولد لنا ولد ونعطى ابنا وتكون الرياسة على كتفه ويدعى اسمه عجيبا مشيرا الها قديرا ابا ابديا رئيس السلام.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.	7 لنمو رياسته وللسلام لا نهاية على كرسي داود وعلى مملكته ليثبتها ويعضدها بالحق والبر من الآن الى الابد. غيرة رب الجنود تصنع هذا
8 The Lord has sent a word against Jacob, and it will light upon Israel;	8 ارسل الرب قولا في يعقوب فوقع في اسرائيل.
9 and all the people will know, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart:	9 فيعرف الشعب كله افرايم وسكان السامرة القائلون بكبرياء وبعظمة قلب
10 "The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."	10 قد هبط اللبن فنبني بحجارة منحوتة. قطع الجميز فنستخلفه بأرز.
11 So the LORD raises adversaries against them, and stirs up their enemies.	11 فيرفع الرب اخصام رصين عليه ويهيج اعداءه
12 The Syrians on the east and the Philistines on the west devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.	12 الاراميين من قدام والفلسطينيين من وراء فيأكلون اسرائيل بكل الفم. مع كل هذا لم يرتد غضبه بل يده ممدودة بعد
13 The people did not turn to him who smote them, nor seek the LORD of hosts.	13 والشعب لم يرجع الى ضاربه ولم يطلب رب الجنود.
14 So the LORD cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day--	14 فيقطع الرب من اسرائيل الراس والذنب النخل والاسل في يوم واحد.
15 the elder and honored man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;	15 الشيخ والمعتبر هو الراس والنبي الذي يعلم بالكذب هو الذنب.
16 for those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.	16 وصار مرشدو هذا الشعب مضلين ومرشدوه مبتلعين.
17 Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men, and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.	17 لاجل 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
18 For wickedness burns like a fire, it consumes briers and thorns; it kindles the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.	18 لان الفجور يحرق كالنار. تأكل الشوك والحسك وتشعل غاب الوعر فتلتف عمود دخان.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts the land is burned, and the people are like fuel for the fire; no man spares his brother.	19 بسخط رب الجنود تحرق الارض ويكون الشعب كمأكل للنار لا يشفق الانسان على اخيه.
20 They snatch on the right, but are still hungry, and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied; each devours his neighbor's flesh,	20 يلتهم على اليمين فيجوع وياكل على الشمال فلا يشبع. يأكلون كل واحد لحم ذراعه
21 Manasseh Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, and together they are against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.	21 منسّى افرايم وافرايم منسّى وهما معا على يهوذا. مع كل هذا لم يرتد غضبه بل يده ممدودة بعد
