إِشَعْيَاءَ 56

١ 1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱحْفَظُوا ٱلْحَقَّ وَأَجْرُوا ٱلْعَدْلَ. لِأَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مَجِيءُ خَلَاصِي وَٱسْتِعْلَانُ بِرِّي.

The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.

٢ 2 طُوبَى لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُ هَذَا، وَلِٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ، ٱلْحَافِظِ ٱلسَّبْتَ لِئَلَّا يُنَجِّسَهُ، وَٱلْحَافِظِ يَدَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ عَمَلِ شَرٍّ».

Happy is the man who does this, and the son of man whose behaviour is so ordered; who keeps the Sabbath holy, and his hand from doing any evil.

٣ 3 فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمِ ٱبْنُ ٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلَّذِي ٱقْتَرَنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «إِفْرَازًا أَفْرَزَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ». وَلَا يَقُلِ ٱلْخَصِيُّ: «هَا أَنَا شَجَرَةٌ يَابِسَةٌ».

And let not the man from a strange country, who has been joined to the Lord, say, The Lord will certainly put a division between me and his people: and let not the unsexed man say, See, I am a dry tree.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْخِصْيَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ سُبُوتِي، وَيَخْتَارُونَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي، وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهْدِي:

For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:

٥ 5 «إِنِّي أُعْطِيهِمْ فِي بَيْتِي وَفِي أَسْوَارِي نُصُبًا وَٱسْمًا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ ٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْبَنَاتِ. أُعْطِيهِمْ ٱسْمًا أَبَدِيًّا لَا يَنْقَطِعُ.

I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.

٦ 6 وَأَبْنَاءُ ٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْتَرِنُونَ بِٱلرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ وَلِيُحِبُّوا ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَكُونُوا لَهُ عَبِيدًا، كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ ٱلسَّبْتَ لِئَلَّا يُنَجِّسُوهُ، وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهْدِي،

And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:

٧ 7 آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، وَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ فِي بَيْتِ صَلَاتِي، وَتَكُونُ مُحْرَقَاتُهُمْ وَذَبَائِحُهُمْ مَقْبُولَةً عَلَى مَذْبَحِي، لِأَنَّ بَيْتِي بَيْتَ ٱلصَّلَاةِ يُدْعَى لِكُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ».

I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

٨ 8 يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَامِعُ مَنْفِيِّي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَجْمَعُ بَعْدُ إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى مَجْمُوعِيهِ».

The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.

٩ 9 يَا جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَعَالَيْ لِلْأَكْلِ. يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْوُحُوشِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ.

All you beasts of the field, come together for your meat, even all you beasts of the wood.

١٠ 10 مُرَاقِبُوهُ عُمْيٌ كُلُّهُمْ. لَا يَعْرِفُونَ. كُلُّهُمْ كِلَابٌ بُكْمٌ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَنْبَحَ. حَالِمُونَ مُضْطَجِعُونَ، مُحِبُّو ٱلنَّوْمِ.

His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.

١١ 11 وَٱلْكِلَابُ شَرِهَةٌ لَا تَعْرِفُ ٱلشَّبَعَ. وَهُمْ رُعَاةٌ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْفَهْمَ. ٱلْتَفَتُوا جَمِيعًا إِلَى طُرُقِهِمْ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلرِّبْحِ عَنْ أَقْصَى.

Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.

١٢ 12 «هَلُمُّوا آخُذُ خَمْرًا وَلْنَشْتَفَّ مُسْكِرًا، وَيَكُونُ ٱلْغَدُ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَظِيمًا بَلْ أَزْيَدَ جِدًّا».

Come, they say, I will get wine, and we will take strong drink in full measure; and tomorrow will be like today, full of pleasure.
