إِشَعْيَاءَ 44
| «وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ يَا يَعْقُوبُ عَبْدِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ. | ١ 1 |
Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعُكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ، مُعِينُكَ: لَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَا يَشُورُونُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ. | ٢ 2 |
This is what the LORD who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
| لِأَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مَاءً عَلَى ٱلْعَطْشَانِ، وَسُيُولًا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ. أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى نَسْلِكَ وَبَرَكَتِي عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِكَ. | ٣ 3 |
For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring;
| فَيَنْبُتُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعُشْبِ مِثْلَ ٱلصَّفْصَافِ عَلَى مَجَارِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ. | ٤ 4 |
and they will spring up amongst the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
| هَذَا يَقُولُ: أَنَا لِلرَّبِّ، وَهَذَا يُكَنِّي بِٱسْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَذَا يَكْتُبُ بِيَدِهِ: لِلرَّبِّ، وَبِٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُلَقِّبُ». | ٥ 5 |
One will say, ‘I am the LORD’s.’ Another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand ‘to the LORD,’ and honour the name of Israel.”
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَادِيهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي. | ٦ 6 |
This is what the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
| وَمَنْ مِثْلِي؟ يُنَادِي، فَلْيُخْبِرْ بِهِ وَيَعْرِضْهُ لِي مُنْذُ وَضَعْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْقَدِيمَ. وَٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَاتُ وَمَا سَيَأْتِي لِيُخْبِرُوهُمْ بِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.
| لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا. أَمَا أَعْلَمْتُكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ وَأَخْبَرْتُكَ؟ فَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي. هَلْ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ غَيْرِي؟ وَلَا صَخْرَةَ لَا أَعْلَمُ بِهَا؟» | ٨ 8 |
Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”
| ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَوِّرُونَ صَنَمًا كُلُّهُمْ بَاطِلٌ، وَمُشْتَهَيَاتُهُمْ لَا تَنْفَعُ، وَشُهُودُهُمْ هِيَ. لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلَا تَعْرِفُ حَتَّى تَخْزَى. | ٩ 9 |
Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
| مَنْ صَوَّرَ إِلَهًا وَسَبَكَ صَنَمًا لِغَيْرِ نَفْعٍ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Who has fashioned a god, or moulds an image that is profitable for nothing?
| هَا كُلُّ أَصْحَابِهِ يَخْزَوْنَ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. يَجْتَمِعُونَ كُلُّهُمْ، يَقِفُونَ يَرْتَعِبُونَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مَعًا. | ١١ 11 |
Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
| طَبَعَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ قَدُومًا، وَعَمِلَ فِي ٱلْفَحْمِ، وَبِالْمَطَارِقِ يُصَوِّرُهُ فَيَصْنَعُهُ بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِهِ. يَجُوعُ أَيْضًا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ. لَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَقَدْ تَعِبَ. | ١٢ 12 |
The blacksmith takes an axe, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
| نَجَّرَ خَشَبًا. مَدَّ ٱلْخَيْطَ. بِٱلْمِخْرَزِ يُعَلِّمُهُ، يَصْنَعُهُ بِٱلْأَزَامِيلِ، وَبِالدَّوَّارَةِ يَرْسُمُهُ. فَيَصْنَعُهُ كَشَبَهِ رَجُلٍ، كَجَمَالِ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ! | ١٣ 13 |
The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.
| قَطَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَرْزًا وَأَخَذَ سِنْدِيَانًا وَبَلُّوطًا، وَٱخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْوَعْرِ. غَرَسَ سَنُوبَرًا وَٱلْمَطَرُ يُنْمِيهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one amongst the trees of the forest. He plants a cypress tree, and the rain nourishes it.
| فَيَصِيرُ لِلنَّاسِ لِلْإِيقَادِ. وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ وَيَتَدَفَّأُ. يُشْعِلُ أَيْضًا وَيَخْبِزُ خُبْزًا، ثُمَّ يَصْنَعُ إِلَهًا فَيَسْجُدُ! قَدْ صَنَعَهُ صَنَمًا وَخَرَّ لَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he burns it and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.
| نِصْفُهُ أَحْرَقَهُ بِٱلنَّارِ. عَلَى نِصْفِهِ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا. يَشْوِي مَشْوِيًّا وَيَشْبَعُ! يَتَدَفَّأُ أَيْضًا وَيَقُولُ: «بَخْ! قَدْ تَدَفَّأْتُ. رَأَيْتُ نَارًا». | ١٦ 16 |
He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
| وَبَقِيَّتُهُ قَدْ صَنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، صَنَمًا لِنَفْسِهِ! يَخُرُّ لَهُ وَيَسْجُدُ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «نَجِّنِي لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي». | ١٧ 17 |
The rest of it he makes into a god, even his engraved image. He bows down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”
| لَا يَعْرِفُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَمَسَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْإِبْصَارِ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ. | ١٨ 18 |
They don’t know, neither do they consider, for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see, and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
| وَلَا يُرَدِّدُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَعْرِفَةٌ وَلَا فَهْمٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ: «نِصْفَهُ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَخَبَزْتُ أَيْضًا عَلَى جَمْرِهِ خُبْزًا، شَوَيْتُ لَحْمًا وَأَكَلْتُ. أَفَأَصْنَعُ بَقِيَّتَهُ رِجْسًا، وَلِسَاقِ شَجَرَةٍ أَخُرُّ؟» | ١٩ 19 |
No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burnt part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
| يَرْعَى رَمَادًا. قَلْبٌ مَخْدُوعٌ قَدْ أَضَلَّهُ فَلَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ وَلَا يَقُولُ: «أَلَيْسَ كَذِبٌ فِي يَمِينِي؟». | ٢٠ 20 |
He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
| «اُذْكُرْ هَذِهِ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي. قَدْ جَبَلْتُكَ. عَبْدٌ لِي أَنْتَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لَا تُنْسَيِ مِنِّي. | ٢١ 21 |
Remember these things, Jacob and Israel, for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
| قَدْ مَحَوْتُ كَغَيْمٍ ذُنُوبَكَ وَكَسَحَابَةٍ خَطَايَاكَ. اِرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
| تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَعَلَ. اِهْتِفِي يَا أَسَافِلَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَشِيدِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ تَرَنُّمًا، ٱلْوَعْرُ وَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَدَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمَجَّدَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Sing, you heavens, for the LORD has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعٌ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، نَاشِرٌ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدِي، بَاسِطٌ ٱلْأَرْضَ. مَنْ مَعِي؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
The LORD, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am the LORD, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;
| مُبَطِّلٌ آيَاتِ ٱلْمُخَادِعِينَ وَمُحَمِّقٌ ٱلْعَرَّافِينَ. مُرَجِّعٌ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَمُجَهِّلٌ مَعْرِفَتَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
| مُقِيمٌ كَلِمَةَ عَبْدِهِ، وَمُتَمِّمٌ رَأْيَ رُسُلِهِ. ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُعْمَرُ، وَلِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: سَتُبْنَيْنَ، وَخِرَبَهَا أُقِيمُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built,’ and ‘I will raise up its waste places;’
| ٱلْقَائِلُ لِلُّجَّةِ: ٱنْشَفِي، وَأَنْهَارَكِ أُجَفِّفُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
who says to the deep, ‘Be dry,’ and ‘I will dry up your rivers,’
| ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ كُورَشَ: رَاعِيَّ، فَكُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي يُتَمِّمُ. وَيَقُولُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُبْنَى، وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ: سَتُؤَسَّسُ». | ٢٨ 28 |
who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure,’ even saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built;’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’”
