Isaiah 18
Englishthat sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen!
For the LORD said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will eat them in the summer, and all the animals of the earth will eat them in the winter.
In that time, a present will be brought to the LORD of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of Armies, Mount Zion.
سِفْرُ أَشَعْيا 18
العربيةوَيلٌ لِأَرضِ حَفيفِ الأَجنِحَة الَّتي في عِبرِ أَنْهارِ كوش
أَنتِ الباعِثَةَ رُسُلًا في البَحْر في قَوارِبِ البَردِيِّ على وَجهِ المِياه. أُمْضوا أَيُّها الرُّسُلُ السِّراع إِلى أُمَّةٍ مَمْشوقَةٍ سَمْراء إِلى شَعبٍ مَرْهوبٍ هُنا وفي البَعيد إِلى أُمَّةٍ قَوِيَّةٍ شَديدَةِ الوَطْء تَقطَعُ الأَنْهارُ أَرضَها
يا جَميعَ سُكَّانِ الدُّنْيا وقاطِني الأَرْض إِذا رُفِعَتِ الرَّايَةُ على الجِبالِ فٱنظُروا وإِذا نُفِخَ في البوقِ فٱسمَعوا
فإِنَّه هٰكذا قالَ لِيَ الرَّبّ: أَنا صامِتٌ أَنظُرُ مِن مَكاني في الحَرِّ اللَّافِحِ فَوقَ النُّور وفي غَيمِ نَدًى في حَرِّ الحَصاد
لِأَنَّه قَبلَ الحَصادِ حينَ يَتِمُّ النَّبْت ويَصيرُ الزَّهَرُ حِصرِمًا قارَبَ النُّضْج تُقطَعُ القُضْبانُ بِالمَناجِل وتُنزَعُ الأَغْصانُ وتُقضَب
وتُترَكُ كُلُّها لِجَوارِحِ الجِبال ولِبَهائِمِ الأَرْض وتَصْطافُ علَيها الجَوارِح وتَشْتو علَيها جَميعُ بَهائِمِ الأَرْض
في ذٰلك الزَّمان، تُقَدَّمُ هَدايا لِرَبِّ القُوَّات، مِنَ الشَّعبِ المَمْشوقِ الأَسمَر، الشَّعبِ المَرْهوبِ هُنا وفي البَعيد، الأُمَّةِ القَوِيَّةِ الشَديدَةِ الوَطْء، الَّتي تَقطَعُ الأَنْهارُ أَرضَها، إِلى مَقَرِّ ٱسمِ رَبِّ القُوَّات، جَبَلِ صِهْيون
