1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. 2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. 3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. 4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. 5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. 6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 ¶ And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. 8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9 ¶ Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 ¶ And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. 22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. 23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. 24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Қуддус қамал қилинади
1 Эгам айтар:
“Ҳолингга вой, эй Довуд яшаган шаҳар!
Эй Ориёл , Ориёл!
Йиллар ортидан йиллар ўтаверади,
Байрамлар нишонланади.
2 Аммо Мен бошингга кулфат келтираман,
Фарёд қилиб, нола чекасан,
Сени қурбонгоҳ қиламан.
3 Атрофингда сенга қарши лашкар тўплайман,
Қамал иншоотларини ўрнатаман.
Миноралар қуриб, сени ўраб оламан.
4 Ернинг остидан сен гапирасан,
Тупроқ остидан сўзларинг келади,
Овозинг шарпа овозидай ер остидан чиқади,
Гапларинг тупроқ остидан шивирлаб келади.
5 Аммо шунда шафқатсиз душманларинг
Бирданига чанг каби учиб кетади,
Тўсатдан бўрондаги хас–чўпдай
Улар тўзиб кетади.
6 Келаман Мен, Сарвари Олам, гумбур–гумбур,
Зилзила, шовқин–сурон, довул,
Бўрону ютиб юборувчи аланга билан.
7 Эй Қуддус , сизга қарши чиққан халқлар йўқ бўлиб кетади.
Сизнинг қалъангизга ҳужум қилган ваҳший элатлар
Тундаги туш каби ўтиб кетади.
8 Ҳа, оч одам тушида овқат еса ҳам,
Уйғонганда, очлигича қолаверади.
Чанқаган одам тушида сув ичади–ю,
Чанқоғи қонмасдан уйғонади.
Эй Сион тоғи, сизга қарши чиққан
Жамики элатлар ҳам шу аҳволга тушади.”
9 Қулоғингизни кар қилинг, донг қотиб қолинг,
Кўзингизни кўр қилинг, кўрмас бўлинг,
Маст бўлинг, аммо шаробдан эмас,
Гандираклаб юринг, аммо бўзадан эмас.
10 Эгам сизни қаттиқ ухлатиб қўйди,
Эй пайғамбарлар, Эгам кўзларингизни уйқуга бостирди.
Эй валийлар, Эгам бошу кўзларингизни ўраб қўйди.
11 Мана, бу ваҳийнинг ҳаммаси сизлар учун муҳрланган ўрама қоғоздай бўлиб қолди. Бу ўрама қоғоз ўқий оладиганларга берилиб: “Буни ўқинг!” деб буюрилса, улар: “Йўқ, муҳрланган экан”, дейдилар. 12 У ўқий олмайдиганларга берилиб: “Буни ўқинг”, деб айтилган бўлса, улар: “Биз ўқишни билмаймиз”, деб жавоб берадилар.
13 Ҳа, Раббий айтди:
“Бу халқ фақат сўздагина Менга яқинлашади,
Тилидагина Мени иззат қилади,
Юраклари эса Мендан узоқдир.
Улар инсон яратган қоидалари орқали
Менга сажда қилишади.
14 Мана, Мен шундай бир иш қиламанки,
Бу халқ ҳайратда қолади,
Лол бўлиб, донг қотади.
Донолари донолигидан маҳрум бўлади,
Идроклилари идрокидан айрилади.”
15 Ҳолингизга вой!
Эгамиздан режаларингизни яширяпсиз,
Ишларингизни қоронғиликда қиляпсиз.
“Ким бизни кўрарди, ким бизни биларди?” дейсиз.
16 Ҳаммасини ағдар–тўнтар қиляпсиз,
Ахир, кулолни лойга тенглаштириб бўладими?!
Наҳотки буюм ўзини яратганга:
“Мени яратганинг йўқ”, деб айтса?!
Наҳотки идиш кулолга:
“Сен тушунмайсан”, деб айтса?!
Келажакка умид
17 Мана, қисқа вақт ичида
Лубнон ўрмони далага айланади.
Дала эса қалин ўрмон бўлади.
18 Ўша куни китобдаги сўзларни карлар эшитар,
Кўрларнинг кўзлари зулматда нур кўрар.
19 Бечораларга Эгам янги қувонч ато этади,
Исроил халқининг Муқаддас Худоси туфайли
Муҳтожлар шод бўлади.
20 Золимлар то абад йўқ бўлади,
Мазахчилар ҳалок бўлади,
Ёмонлик истовчилар қириб ташланади.
21 Улар одамларга туҳмат ёғдирар,
Ҳакамларга тузоқ қўяр,
Солиҳларни адолатдан маҳрум қилар.
22 Шу боис Иброҳимни қутқарган Эгам
Ёқуб хонадони тўғрисида шундай деб айтмоқда:
“Ёқуб насли энди ҳеч қачон шарманда бўлмайди,
Қўрқувдан унинг ранги оқармайди.
23 Исроил халқи Мен бунёд этган фарзандларини кўрганда
Улар Менинг номимни муқаддас деб билади,
Мени — Ёқуб наслининг Худосини муқаддас деб тан олади.
Ҳа, Мен, Исроил Худосининг ҳузурида ҳайратда туради.
24 Йўлидан адашганлар ўшанда тушуниб етади,
Нолиганлар йўл–йўриқларимни ўрганади.”
