إِشَعْيَاءَ 51

١ 1 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي أَيُّهَا ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ ٱلطَّالِبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ: ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْهُ قُطِعْتُمْ، وَإِلَى نُقْرَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا حُفِرْتُمُ.

“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.

٢ 2 ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ، وَإِلَى سَارَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُهُ وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made him many.

٣ 3 فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى صِهْيَوْنَ. عَزَّى كُلَّ خِرَبِهَا، وَيَجْعَلُ بَرِّيَّتَهَا كَعَدْنٍ، وَبَادِيَتَهَا كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلِٱبْتِهَاجُ يُوجَدَانِ فِيهَا. ٱلْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ ٱلتَّرَنُّمِ.

For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

٤ 4 «اُنْصُتُوا إِلَيَّ يَا شَعْبِي، وَيَا أُمَّتِي ٱصْغِي إِلَيَّ: لِأَنَّ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ عِنْدِي تَخْرُجُ، وَحَقِّي أُثَبِّتُهُ نُورًا لِلشُّعُوبِ.

“Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.

٥ 5 قَرِيبٌ بِرِّي. قَدْ بَرَزَ خَلَاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ يَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ. إِيَّايَ تَرْجُو ٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَتَنْتَظِرُ ذِرَاعِي.

My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.

٦ 6 «اِرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ عُيُونَكُمْ، وَٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتَ. فَإِنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَٱلدُّخَانِ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَٱلثَّوْبِ تَبْلَى، وَسُكَّانَهَا كَٱلْبَعُوضِ يَمُوتُونَ. أَمَّا خَلَاصِي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ وَبِرِّي لَا يُنْقَضُ.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.

٧ 7 اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا عَارِفِي ٱلْبِرِّ، ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قَلْبِهِ: لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ تَعْيِيرِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ لَا تَرْتَاعُوا،

“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّهُ كَٱلثَّوْبِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلْعُثُّ، وَكَالصُّوفِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلسُّوسُ. أَمَّا بِرِّي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ، وَخَلَاصِي إِلَى دَوْرِ ٱلْأَدْوَارِ».

For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”

٩ 9 اِسْتَيْقِظِي، ٱسْتَيْقِظِي! ٱلْبَسِي قُوَّةً يَا ذِرَاعَ ٱلرَّبِّ! ٱسْتَيْقِظِي كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَدْوَارِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ ٱلْقَاطِعَةَ رَهَبَ، ٱلطَّاعِنَةَ ٱلتِّنِّينَ؟

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

١٠ 10 أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ هِيَ ٱلْمُنَشِّفَةَ ٱلْبَحْرَ، مِيَاهَ ٱلْغَمْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، ٱلْجَاعِلَةَ أَعْمَاقَ ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا لِعُبُورِ ٱلْمَفْدِيِّينَ؟

Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

١١ 11 وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. يَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ.

Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

١٢ 12 «أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ. مَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخَافِي مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَمُوتُ، وَمِنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يُجْعَلُ كَٱلْعُشْبِ؟

“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?

١٣ 13 وَتَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ صَانِعَكَ، بَاسِطَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَفْزَعُ دَائِمًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ عِنْدَمَا هَيَّأَ لِلْإِهْلَاكِ. وَأَيْنَ غَضَبُ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ؟

Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?

١٤ 14 سَرِيعًا يُطْلَقُ ٱلْمُنْحَنِي، وَلَا يَمُوتُ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ وَلَا يُعْدَمُ خُبْزُهُ.

The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.

١٥ 15 وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرِ فَتَعِجُّ لُجَجُهُ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. Yahweh of Armies is his name.

١٦ 16 وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَقْوَالِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَبِظِلِّ يَدِي سَتَرْتُكَ لِغَرْسِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأْسِيسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلِتَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي».

I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”

١٧ 17 اِنْهَضِي، ٱنْهَضِي! قُومِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلَّتِي شَرِبْتِ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ شَرِبْتِ. مَصَصْتِ.

Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ لَهَا مَنْ يَقُودُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُمْسِكُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.

١٩ 19 اِثْنَانِ هُمَا مُلَاقِيَاكِ. مَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ؟ ٱلْخَرَابُ وَالِٱنْسِحَاقُ وَٱلْجُوعُ وَٱلسَّيْفُ. بِمَنْ أُعَزِّيكِ؟

These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?

٢٠ 20 بَنُوكِ قَدْ أَعْيَوْا. ٱضْطَجَعُوا فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ زُقَاقٍ كَٱلْوَعْلِ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. ٱلْمَلآنُونَ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ زَجْرَةِ إِلَهِكِ.

Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.

٢١ 21 لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَائِسَةُ وَٱلسَّكْرَى وَلَيْسَ بِٱلْخَمْرِ.

Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

٢٢ 22 هَكَذَا قَالَ سَيِّدُكِ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَهُكِ ٱلَّذِي يُحَاكِمُ لِشَعْبِهِ: «هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي. لَا تَعُودِينَ تَشْرَبِينَهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

Your Lord Yahweh, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.

٢٣ 23 وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا لِنَفْسِكِ: ٱنْحَنِي لِنَعْبُرَ. فَوَضَعْتِ كَٱلْأَرْضِ ظَهْرَكِ وَكَالزُّقَاقِ لِلْعَابِرِينَ».

I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”
