إِشَعْيَاءَ 40
| عَزُّوا، عَزُّوا شَعْبِي، يَقُولُ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ١ 1 |
“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.
| طَيِّبُوا قَلْبَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَادُوهَا بِأَنَّ جِهَادَهَا قَدْ كَمُلَ، أَنَّ إِثْمَهَا قَدْ عُفِيَ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهَا قَدْ قَبِلَتْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِعْفَيْنِ عَنْ كُلِّ خَطَايَاهَا. | ٢ 2 |
“Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.”
| صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: «أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ. قَوِّمُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ سَبِيلًا لِإِلَهِنَا. | ٣ 3 |
The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.
| كُلُّ وَطَاءٍ يَرْتَفِعُ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَأَكَمَةٍ يَنْخَفِضُ، وَيَصِيرُ ٱلْمُعْوَجُّ مُسْتَقِيمًا، وَٱلْعَرَاقِيبُ سَهْلًا. | ٤ 4 |
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain.
| فَيُعْلَنُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَرَاهُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ جَمِيعًا، لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ». | ٥ 5 |
The LORD’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”
| صَوْتُ قَائِلٍ: «نَادِ». فَقَالَ: «بِمَاذَا أُنَادِي؟» «كُلُّ جَسَدٍ عُشْبٌ، وَكُلُّ جَمَالِهِ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ٦ 6 |
The voice of one saying, “Cry out!” One said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
| يَبِسَ ٱلْعُشْبُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّهْرُ، لِأَنَّ نَفْخَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ. حَقًّا ٱلشَّعْبُ عُشْبٌ! | ٧ 7 |
The grass withers, the flower fades, because the LORD’s breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.
| يَبِسَ ٱلْعُشْبُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّهْرُ. وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ إِلَهِنَا فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٨ 8 |
The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever.”
| عَلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ ٱصْعَدِي، يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱرْفَعِي صَوْتَكِ بِقُوَّةٍ، يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٱرْفَعِي لَا تَخَافِي. قُولِي لِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: «هُوَذَا إِلَهُكِ. | ٩ 9 |
You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength! Lift it up! Don’t be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold, your God!”
| هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُوَّةٍ يَأْتِي وَذِرَاعُهُ تَحْكُمُ لَهُ. هُوَذَا أُجْرَتُهُ مَعَهُ وَعُمْلَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
| كَرَاعٍ يَرْعَى قَطِيعَهُ. بِذِرَاعِهِ يَجْمَعُ ٱلْحُمْلَانَ، وَفِي حِضْنِهِ يَحْمِلُهَا، وَيَقُودُ ٱلْمُرْضِعَاتِ». | ١١ 11 |
He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.
| مَنْ كَالَ بِكَفِّهِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ، وَقَاسَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ بِٱلشِّبْرِ، وَكَالَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَوَزَنَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بِٱلْقَبَّانِ، وَٱلْآكَامَ بِٱلْمِيزَانِ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measuring basket, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
| مَنْ قَاسَ رُوحَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمَنْ مُشِيرُهُ يُعَلِّمُهُ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Who has directed the LORD’s Spirit, or has taught him as his counselor?
| مَنِ ٱسْتَشَارَهُ فَأَفْهَمَهُ وَعَلَّمَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَعَلَّمَهُ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَرَّفَهُ سَبِيلَ ٱلْفَهْمِ.؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?
| هُوَذَا ٱلْأُمَمُ كَنُقْطَةٍ مِنْ دَلْوٍ، وَكَغُبَارِ ٱلْمِيزَانِ تُحْسَبُ. هُوَذَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ يَرْفَعُهَا كَدُقَّةٍ! | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
| وَلُبْنَانُ لَيْسَ كَافِيًا لِلْإِيقَادِ، وَحَيَوَانُهُ لَيْسَ كَافِيًا لِمُحْرَقَةٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering.
| كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَلَا شَيْءٍ قُدَّامَهُ. مِنَ ٱلْعَدَمِ وَٱلْبَاطِلِ تُحْسَبُ عِنْدَهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
| فَبِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَ ٱللهَ، وَأَيَّ شَبَهٍ تُعَادِلُونَ بِهِ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?
| اَلصَّنَمُ يَسْبِكُهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ، وَٱلصَّائِغُ يُغَشِّيهِ بِذَهَبٍ وَيَصُوغُ سَلَاسِلَ فِضَّةٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
A workman has cast an image, and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts silver chains for it.
| ٱلْفَقِيرُ عَنِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ يَنْتَخِبُ خَشَبًا لَا يُسَوِّسُ، يَطْلُبُ لَهُ صَانِعًا مَاهِرًا لِيَنْصُبَ صَنَمًا لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ! | ٢٠ 20 |
He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeks a skillful workman to set up a carved image for him that will not be moved.
| أَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ؟ أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ؟ أَلَمْ تُخْبَرُوا مِنَ ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ؟ أَلَمْ تَفْهَمُوا مِنْ أَسَاسَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?
| ٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَى كُرَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسُكَّانُهَا كَٱلْجُنْدُبِ. ٱلَّذِي يَنْشُرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَسَرَادِقَ، وَيَبْسُطُهَا كَخَيْمَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,
| ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ ٱلْعُظَمَاءَ لَا شَيْئًا، وَيُصَيِّرُ قُضَاةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَٱلْبَاطِلِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
who brings princes to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
| لَمْ يُغْرَسُوا بَلْ لَمْ يُزْرَعُوا وَلَمْ يَتَأَصَّلْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ سَاقُهُمْ. فَنَفَخَ أَيْضًا عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَفُّوا، وَٱلْعَاصِفُ كَٱلْعَصْفِ يَحْمِلُهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
| «فَبِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي فَأُسَاوِيَهُ؟» يَقُولُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
“To whom then will you liken me? Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
| ٱرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ عُيُونَكُمْ وَٱنْظُرُوا، مَنْ خَلَقَ هَذِهِ؟ مَنِ ٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُ بِعَدَدٍ جُنْدَهَا، يَدْعُو كُلَّهَا بِأَسْمَاءٍ؟ لِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَكَوْنِهِ شَدِيدَ ٱلْقُدْرَةِ لَا يُفْقَدُ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. By the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
| لِمَاذَا تَقُولُ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «قَدِ ٱخْتَفَتْ طَرِيقِي عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفَاتَ حَقِّي إِلَهِي»؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God”?
| أَمَا عَرَفْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ إِلَهُ ٱلدَّهْرِ ٱلرَّبُّ خَالِقُ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَعْيَا. لَيْسَ عَنْ فَهْمِهِ فَحْصٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
| يُعْطِي ٱلْمُعْيِيَ قُدْرَةً، وَلِعَدِيمِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ يُكَثِّرُ شِدَّةً. | ٢٩ 29 |
He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
| اَلْغِلْمَانُ يُعْيُونَ وَيَتْعَبُونَ، وَٱلْفِتْيَانُ يَتَعَثَّرُونَ تَعَثُّرًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall;
| وَأَمَّا مُنْتَظِرُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَيُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّةً. يَرْفَعُونَ أَجْنِحَةً كَٱلنُّسُورِ. يَرْكُضُونَ وَلَا يَتْعَبُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلَا يُعْيُونَ. | ٣١ 31 |
but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
