إِشَعْيَاءَ 49
| اِسْمَعِي لِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ، وَٱصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ: ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ دَعَانِي. مِنْ أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّي ذَكَرَ ٱسْمِي، | ١ 1 |
Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Adonai has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother he has mentioned my name.
| وَجَعَلَ فَمِي كَسَيْفٍ حَادٍّ. فِي ظِلِّ يَدِهِ خَبَّأَنِي وَجَعَلَنِي سَهْمًا مَبْرِيًّا. فِي كِنَانَتِهِ أَخْفَانِي. | ٢ 2 |
He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.
| وَقَالَ لِي: «أَنْتَ عَبْدِي إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ أَتَمَجَّدُ». | ٣ 3 |
He said to me, “You are my servant; Israel [God prevails], in whom I will be glorified.”
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقُلْتُ: «عَبَثًا تَعِبْتُ. بَاطِلًا وَفَارِغًا أَفْنَيْتُ قُدْرَتِي. لَكِنَّ حَقِّي عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَمَلِي عِنْدَ إِلَهِي». | ٤ 4 |
But I said, “I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the mishpat ·justice· due to me is with Adonai, and my reward 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 Adonai says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob [Supplanter] again to him, and to gather Israel [God prevails] to him, for I am honorable in Adonai’s eyes, and my God has become my strength.
| فَقَالَ: «قَلِيلٌ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِي عَبْدًا لِإِقَامَةِ أَسْبَاطِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَرَدِّ مَحْفُوظِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ نُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ لِتَكُونَ خَلَاصِي إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٦ 6 |
Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob [Supplanter], and to restore the preserved of Israel [God prevails]? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my yishu'ah ·salvation·to the end of the earth.”
| 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 |
Adonai, the Go'eil Isra'el [Redeemer of God prevails], and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up; princes, and they shall hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship; because of Adonai who is faithful, even haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], who 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 |
Adonai says, “In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of yishu'ah ·salvation· I have helped you. I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
| قَائِلًا لِلْأَسْرَى: ٱخْرُجُوا. لِلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ: ٱظْهَرُوا. عَلَى ٱلطُّرُقِ يَرْعَوْنَ وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلْهِضَابِ مَرْعَاهُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.
| لَا يَجُوعُونَ وَلَا يَعْطَشُونَ، وَلَا يَضْرِبُهُمْ حَرٌّ وَلَا شَمْسٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَرْحَمُهُمْ يَهْدِيهِمْ وَإِلَى يَنَابِيعِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ يُورِدُهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has racham ·merciful love· towards them will lead them. He will guide them by springs of water.
| وَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ جِبَالِي طَرِيقًا، وَمَنَاهِجِي تَرْتَفِعُ. | ١١ 11 |
I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be exalted.
| هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَأْتُونَ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ أَرْضِ سِينِيمَ». | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.”
| تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ، وَٱبْتَهِجِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ. لِتُشِدِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى شَعْبَهُ، وَعَلَى بَائِسِيهِ يَتَرَحَّمُ. | ١٣ 13 |
Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break out into singing, mountains: for Adonai has comforted his people, and will have racham ·compassionate love· on his afflicted.
| وَقَالَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ: «قَدْ تَرَكَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَسَيِّدِي نَسِيَنِي». | ١٤ 14 |
But Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] said, “Adonai has forsaken me, and 'Adonay [Lord] has forgotten me.”
| «هَلْ تَنْسَى ٱلْمَرْأَةُ رَضِيعَهَا فَلَا تَرْحَمَ ٱبْنَ بَطْنِهَا؟ حَتَّى هَؤُلَاءِ يَنْسَيْنَ، وَأَنَا لَا أَنْسَاكِ. | ١٥ 15 |
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have racham ·compassionate love· on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!
| هُوَذَا عَلَى كَفَّيَّ نَقَشْتُكِ. أَسْوَارُكِ أَمَامِي دَائِمًا. | ١٦ 16 |
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. Your walls are continually before me.
| قَدْ أَسْرَعَ بَنُوكِ. هَادِمُوكِ وَمُخْرِبُوكِ مِنْكِ يَخْرُجُونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Your children hurry. Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you.
| اِرْفَعِي عَيْنَيْكِ حَوَالَيْكِ وَٱنْظُرِي. كُلُّهُمْ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا، أَتَوْا إِلَيْكِ. حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّكِ تَلْبَسِينَ كُلَّهُمْ كَحُلِيٍّ، وَتَتَنَطَّقِينَ بِهِمْ كَعَرُوسٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says Adonai, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
| إِنَّ خِرَبَكِ وَبَرَارِيَّكِ وَأَرْضَ خَرَابِكِ، إِنَّكِ تَكُونِينَ ٱلْآنَ ضَيِّقَةً عَلَى ٱلسُّكَّانِ، وَيَتَبَاعَدُ مُبْتَلِعُوكِ. | ١٩ 19 |
“For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now that land will be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
| يَقُولُ أَيْضًا فِي أُذُنَيْكِ بَنُو ثُكْلِكِ: ضَيِّقٌ عَلَيَّ ٱلْمَكَانُ. وَسِّعِي لِي لِأَسْكُنَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The children of your bereavement will say in your ears, ‘This place is too small for me. Give me a place to live in.’
| 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 in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought these up? Behold, I was left alone. Where were these?’”
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَا إِنِّي أَرْفَعُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ يَدِي وَإِلَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ أُقِيمُ رَايَتِي، فَيَأْتُونَ بِأَوْلَادِكِ فِي ٱلْأَحْضَانِ، وَبَنَاتُكِ عَلَى ٱلْأَكْتَافِ يُحْمَلْنَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Thus says 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh], “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and lift up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on 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 shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; Then you will know that I am Adonai; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed.”
| هَلْ تُسْلَبُ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَّارِ غَنِيمَةٌ؟ وَهَلْ يُفْلِتُ سَبْيُ ٱلْمَنْصُورِ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?
| فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «حَتَّى سَبْيُ ٱلْجَبَّارِ يُسْلَبُ، وَغَنِيمَةُ ٱلْعَاتِي تُفْلِتُ. وَأَنَا أُخَاصِمُ مُخَاصِمَكِ وَأُخَلِّصُ أَوْلَادَكِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
But Adonai says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save 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 feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine. Then all flesh shall know that I, Adonai, am the One who saves you, and your Redeemer, the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter].”
