إِشَعْيَاءَ 42
| «هُوَذَا عَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي ٱلَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلْأُمَمِ. | ١ 1 |
Look! Here is my servant, the one I support; my chosen one who pleases me. I have placed my Spirit on him, and he will show the nations what is right.
| لَا يَصِيحُ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ وَلَا يُسْمِعُ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ صَوْتَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
He won't shout or cry out; he won't raise his voice in the street.
| قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لَا يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً خَامِدَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِلَى ٱلْأَمَانِ يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ. | ٣ 3 |
He won't break a damaged reed; he won't snuff out a smoldering wick. He will faithfully make sure everyone is treated fairly.
| لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَنْكَسِرُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ». | ٤ 4 |
He won't give up or become discouraged until he has made sure that justice is upheld throughout the world. Even lands overseas will look forward to his teachings.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱللهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَاشِرُهَا، بَاسِطُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَتَائِجِهَا، مُعْطِي ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَيْهَا نَسَمَةً، وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا رُوحًا: | ٥ 5 |
This is what God the Lord says, the one who created the heavens and stretched them out, who made the earth and everything in it, who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live there:
| «أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱلْبِرِّ، فَأُمْسِكُ بِيَدِكَ وَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ، | ٦ 6 |
“I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate what's right, and I will hold your hand. I will take care of you, and give you as a sign of my agreement with the people and as a light to the nations.
| لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ ٱلْعُمْيِ، لِتُخْرِجَ مِنَ ٱلْحَبْسِ ٱلْمَأْسُورِينَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
You will make the blind see, set free those who are locked up, and lead those who sit in darkness out from prison.
| «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱسْمِي، وَمَجْدِي لَا أُعْطِيهِ لِآخَرَ، وَلَا تَسْبِيحِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ. | ٨ 8 |
I am the Lord—that is my name! I do not give my honor to anyone else; I do not give my praise to idols.
| هُوَذَا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتُ قَدْ أَتَتْ، وَٱلْحَدِيثَاتُ أَنَا مُخْبِرٌ بِهَا. قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْبُتَ أُعْلِمُكُمْ بِهَا». | ٩ 9 |
Notice that what I foretold has come true, as will the new things I'm saying to you now. I tell you what will happen before it does.”
| غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَهُ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُنْحَدِرُونَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ وَمِلْؤُهُ وَٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَسُكَّانُهَا، | ١٠ 10 |
Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing praise from everywhere on earth, you who sail on the sea and everything in it, you islands and everyone who lives in them.
| لِتَرْفَعِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَمُدُنُهَا صَوْتَهَا، ٱلدِّيَارُ ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَهَا قِيدَارُ. لِتَتَرَنَّمْ سُكَّانُ سَالِعَ. مِنْ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ لِيَهْتِفُوا. | ١١ 11 |
Let the people in the desert and its towns shout; let the people of the villages of Kedar cry out loud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops.
| لِيُعْطُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَجْدًا وَيُخْبِرُوا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Let them glorify the Lord and praise him in the islands.
| ٱلرَّبُّ كَٱلْجَبَّارِ يَخْرُجُ. كَرَجُلِ حُرُوبٍ يُنْهِضُ غَيْرَتَهُ. يَهْتِفُ وَيَصْرُخُ وَيَقْوَى عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Like a mighty warrior the Lord will march out, like a seasoned soldier he goes out with courage. He gives his war-cry, shouting as he battles and defeats his enemies.
| «قَدْ صَمَتُّ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ. سَكَتُّ. تَجَلَّدْتُ. كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ أَصِيحُ. أَنْفُخُ وَأَنَخُرُ مَعًا. | ١٤ 14 |
“I didn't say anything for a long time, I kept quiet and restrained myself. But now like a woman giving birth, I will moan and gasp and pant.
| أَخْرِبُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَٱلْآكَامَ وَأُجَفِّفُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ يَبَسًا وَأُنَشِّفُ ٱلْآجَامَ، | ١٥ 15 |
I will dry up the mountains and the hills, and make all their greenery wither. I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.
| وَأُسَيِّرُ ٱلْعُمْيَ فِي طَرِيقٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا. فِي مَسَالِكَ لَمْ يَدْرُوهَا أُمَشِّيهِمْ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ أَمَامَهُمْ نُورًا، وَٱلْمُعْوَجَّاتِ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ أَفْعَلُهَا وَلَاأَتْرُكُهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
I will lead the blind along a road they don't know; I will guide them along paths they don't know. I will turn darkness into light before them, and smooth out the rough places. This is what I'm going to do for them; I won't let them down.
| قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. يَخْزَى خِزْيًا ٱلْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ لِلْمَسْبُوكَاتِ: أَنْتُنَّ آلِهَتُنَا! | ١٧ 17 |
But those who trust in idols and say to images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be rejected in humiliation and shame.
| «أَيُّهَا ٱلصُّمُّ ٱسْمَعُوا. أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُمْيُ ٱنْظُرُوا لِتُبْصِرُوا. | ١٨ 18 |
Listen, you deaf people! Look and see, you blind people!
| مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى إِلَّا عَبْدِي، وَأَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى كَٱلْكَامِلِ، وَأَعْمَى كَعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Who is blind like my servant? Who is deaf like my messenger that I send? Who is as blind as the people of the agreement? Who is as blind as the servant of the Lord?
| نَاظِرٌ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تُلَاحِظُ. مَفْتُوحُ ٱلْأُذُنَيْنِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ». | ٢٠ 20 |
You've looked at many things but have not really seen; you've heard but never really listened.”
| ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ سُرَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ. يُعَظِّمُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ وَيُكْرِمُهَا. | ٢١ 21 |
Because the Lord does what is right he wanted to show how important and wonderful his instructions were.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدِ ٱصْطِيدَ فِي ٱلْحُفَرِ كُلُّهُ، وَفِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْحُبُوسِ ٱخْتَبَأُوا. صَارُوا نَهْبًا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ، وَسَلَبًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّ!». | ٢٢ 22 |
But this people ended up robbed and raided, all of them trapped in holes or hidden in prisons. They have been stolen like loot, with no one to save them from being someone's prize, no one to say “Give them back!”
| مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا؟ يَصْغَى وَيَسْمَعُ لِمَا بَعْدُ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Who of you is going to listen to this, or pay attention later on?
| مَنْ دَفَعَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱلسَّلَبِ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِشَرِيعَتِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Who let Jacob be taken as loot; who let Israel be taken by robbers? Wasn't it the Lord who we sinned against? The people weren't willing to follow his ways, and they refused to obey his law.
| فَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ وَشِدَّةَ ٱلْحَرْبِ، فَأَوْقَدَتْهُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُ وَلَمْ يَضَعْ فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
So he poured out his furious anger on them, and the violence of war. Even though they were surrounded by flames, but they still didn't understand. The fire burned them up, but they still did not take the situation seriously.
