إِشَعْيَاءَ 49
| اِسْمَعِي لِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ، وَٱصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ: ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ دَعَانِي. مِنْ أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّي ذَكَرَ ٱسْمِي، | ١ 1 |
Listen to me, you people of the islands! Pay attention, you who live far away! The Lord called me before I was born; he gave me my name while I was still in my mother's womb.
| وَجَعَلَ فَمِي كَسَيْفٍ حَادٍّ. فِي ظِلِّ يَدِهِ خَبَّأَنِي وَجَعَلَنِي سَهْمًا مَبْرِيًّا. فِي كِنَانَتِهِ أَخْفَانِي. | ٢ 2 |
The words he gave me to speak are like a sharp sword. He has protected me by covering me with his hand. He put me in his quiver like a sharp arrow, keeping me safe there.
| وَقَالَ لِي: «أَنْتَ عَبْدِي إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ أَتَمَجَّدُ». | ٣ 3 |
He told me, “You are my servant, Israel, and I will reveal my glory through you.”
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقُلْتُ: «عَبَثًا تَعِبْتُ. بَاطِلًا وَفَارِغًا أَفْنَيْتُ قُدْرَتِي. لَكِنَّ حَقِّي عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَمَلِي عِنْدَ إِلَهِي». | ٤ 4 |
But I replied, “I've worked for nothing! I've exhausted myself, and for what? Even so, I leave it with the Lord to do what's right, and my reward is with my God.”
| وَٱلْآنَ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَابِلِي مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ عَبْدًا لَهُ، لِإِرْجَاعِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَيْهِ، فَيَنْضَمُّ إِلَيْهِ إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَتَمَجَّدُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَإِلَهِي يَصِيرُ قُوَّتِي. | ٥ 5 |
Now my Lord is going to speak, the one who formed me in the womb as his servant to bring Jacob back to him, to gather Israel to himself. I am honored in the Lord's sight, and my God has given me strength.
| فَقَالَ: «قَلِيلٌ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِي عَبْدًا لِإِقَامَةِ أَسْبَاطِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَرَدِّ مَحْفُوظِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ نُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ لِتَكُونَ خَلَاصِي إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٦ 6 |
He says, “It's nothing much for you to be my servant to bring back the tribes of Jacob, those people of Israel that I've preserved. I'm also going to make you a light for the foreigners so that my salvation may reach everybody.”
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، قُدُّوسُهُ، لِلْمُهَانِ ٱلنَّفْسِ، لِمَكْرُوهِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ، لِعَبْدِ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ: «يَنْظُرُ مُلُوكٌ فَيَقُومُونَ. رُؤَسَاءُ فَيَسْجُدُونَ. لِأَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَمِينٌ، وَقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي قَدِ ٱخْتَارَكَ». | ٧ 7 |
This is what the Lord says, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to the one who was despised and detested by the nation, to the one who is the servant of rulers: Kings will see you and stand up, and princes will bow down to you, because the Lord, who is trustworthy, the Holy One of Israel, has chosen you.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي وَقْتِ ٱلْقُبُولِ ٱسْتَجَبْتُكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ أَعَنْتُكَ. فَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ، لِإِقَامَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِتَمْلِيكِ أَمْلَاكِ ٱلْبَرَارِيِّ، | ٨ 8 |
This is what the Lord says: I will answer you at the proper time; I will help you on the day of salvation. I will take care of you, and I will give you to the people as my agreement with them, to restore the land and to reassign the parts that have been abandoned.
| قَائِلًا لِلْأَسْرَى: ٱخْرُجُوا. لِلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ: ٱظْهَرُوا. عَلَى ٱلطُّرُقِ يَرْعَوْنَ وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلْهِضَابِ مَرْعَاهُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
Tell the prisoners, “Come out!” Tell those living in darkness, “Come into the light!” Like sheep they will feed along the roads and in the pastures on hills that once were barren.
| لَا يَجُوعُونَ وَلَا يَعْطَشُونَ، وَلَا يَضْرِبُهُمْ حَرٌّ وَلَا شَمْسٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَرْحَمُهُمْ يَهْدِيهِمْ وَإِلَى يَنَابِيعِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ يُورِدُهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
They won't be hungry or thirsty, and they won't get hot in the sun, for the one who loves them will lead them to springs, and guide them to water.
| وَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ جِبَالِي طَرِيقًا، وَمَنَاهِجِي تَرْتَفِعُ. | ١١ 11 |
I will turn all my mountains into a road; my highways will be really high!
| هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَأْتُونَ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ أَرْضِ سِينِيمَ». | ١٢ 12 |
Look at these people coming from far away! Look at these people coming from the north, and from the west, and from Upper Egypt.
| تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ، وَٱبْتَهِجِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ. لِتُشِدِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى شَعْبَهُ، وَعَلَى بَائِسِيهِ يَتَرَحَّمُ. | ١٣ 13 |
Heavens, shout for joy! Earth, celebrate! Mountains, sing out in happiness! The Lord has come to care for his people, and he will treat his suffering people kindly.
| وَقَالَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ: «قَدْ تَرَكَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَسَيِّدِي نَسِيَنِي». | ١٤ 14 |
But Zion said, “The Lord has given up on me; the Lord has forgotten about me.”
| «هَلْ تَنْسَى ٱلْمَرْأَةُ رَضِيعَهَا فَلَا تَرْحَمَ ٱبْنَ بَطْنِهَا؟ حَتَّى هَؤُلَاءِ يَنْسَيْنَ، وَأَنَا لَا أَنْسَاكِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Really? Can a mother forget her nursing baby? Can she forget to be kind to the child she carried in her womb? Even if she could forget, I will never forget you!
| هُوَذَا عَلَى كَفَّيَّ نَقَشْتُكِ. أَسْوَارُكِ أَمَامِي دَائِمًا. | ١٦ 16 |
Look at your names I've written on the palms of my hands! I'm always thinking about your walls.
| قَدْ أَسْرَعَ بَنُوكِ. هَادِمُوكِ وَمُخْرِبُوكِ مِنْكِ يَخْرُجُونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Soon your children will come running back. Your destroyers, those that devastated your land, will be gone.
| اِرْفَعِي عَيْنَيْكِ حَوَالَيْكِ وَٱنْظُرِي. كُلُّهُمْ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا، أَتَوْا إِلَيْكِ. حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّكِ تَلْبَسِينَ كُلَّهُمْ كَحُلِيٍّ، وَتَتَنَطَّقِينَ بِهِمْ كَعَرُوسٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
Take a look around. See all your children gathering and coming back to you. As I live, declares the Lord, you will wear them all as jewelry, proudly putting them on like a bride.
| إِنَّ خِرَبَكِ وَبَرَارِيَّكِ وَأَرْضَ خَرَابِكِ، إِنَّكِ تَكُونِينَ ٱلْآنَ ضَيِّقَةً عَلَى ٱلسُّكَّانِ، وَيَتَبَاعَدُ مُبْتَلِعُوكِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Your ruined towns and abandoned places and devastated lands will be crowded with people, while those who took over your country will be long gone.
| يَقُولُ أَيْضًا فِي أُذُنَيْكِ بَنُو ثُكْلِكِ: ضَيِّقٌ عَلَيَّ ٱلْمَكَانُ. وَسِّعِي لِي لِأَسْكُنَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The children born during your time of mourning in exile will say, “This place is too crowded for me! Make room so I have a place to live!”
| فَتَقُولِينَ فِي قَلْبِكِ: مَنْ وَلَدَ لِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَأَنَا ثَكْلَى، وَعَاقِرٌ مَنْفِيَّةٌ وَمَطْرُودَةٌ؟ وَهَؤُلَاءِ مَنْ رَبَّاهُمْ؟ هَأَنَذَا كُنْتُ مَتْرُوكَةً وَحْدِي. هَؤُلَاءِ أَيْنَ كَانُوا؟». | ٢١ 21 |
Then you will say to yourself, “Who gave birth to all these children for me? My children were killed and I was unable to have more; I was exiled and thrown aside—so who brought these children up? Look, I was abandoned, so where did they come from?”
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَا إِنِّي أَرْفَعُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ يَدِي وَإِلَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ أُقِيمُ رَايَتِي، فَيَأْتُونَ بِأَوْلَادِكِ فِي ٱلْأَحْضَانِ، وَبَنَاتُكِ عَلَى ٱلْأَكْتَافِ يُحْمَلْنَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
This is what the Lord God says, Watch as I give the signal to the nations, as I raise my flag to let everyone know. They will bring them back, carrying your sons in their arms, and lifting your daughters onto their shoulders.
| وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمُلُوكُ حَاضِنِيكِ وَسَيِّدَاتُهُمْ مُرْضِعَاتِكِ. بِٱلْوُجُوهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَسْجُدُونَ لَكِ، وَيَلْحَسُونَ غُبَارَ رِجْلَيْكِ، فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَخْزَى مُنْتَظِرُوهُ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Kings will be your child-minders; queens will be your nurses. They will bow low before you, and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord, and that those who put their trust in me will never be ashamed.
| هَلْ تُسْلَبُ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَّارِ غَنِيمَةٌ؟ وَهَلْ يُفْلِتُ سَبْيُ ٱلْمَنْصُورِ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Can loot be taken from a warrior? Can prisoners be rescued from a dictator?
| فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «حَتَّى سَبْيُ ٱلْجَبَّارِ يُسْلَبُ، وَغَنِيمَةُ ٱلْعَاتِي تُفْلِتُ. وَأَنَا أُخَاصِمُ مُخَاصِمَكِ وَأُخَلِّصُ أَوْلَادَكِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
But this is what the Lord says: Even the prisoners of warriors will be won back; even loot will be recovered from a dictator. I will fight with your enemies, and I will rescue your children.
| وَأُطْعِمُ ظَالِمِيكِ لَحْمَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَيَسْكَرُونَ بِدَمِهِمْ كَمَا مِنْ سُلَافٍ، فَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُكِ، وَفَادِيكِ عَزِيزُ يَعْقُوبَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh and drink their own blood like wine. Then everyone will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.
