إِشَعْيَاءَ 56

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

Thus hath said the Lord, Keep ye justice, and do equity; for near is my salvation to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

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 mortal that ever doth this, and the son of man that ever layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and keepeth 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 say the son of the stranger, that joineth himself unto the Lord, saying, Surely the Lord will exclude me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

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

For thus hath said the Lord concerning the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and make choice of what pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant.

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

I will indeed give unto them in my house and within my walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters: an everlasting name will I give them, that shall 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،

Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be unto him as servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and those who take hold of my covenant:

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

Even these will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.

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

Thus saith the Lord Eternal who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, I will yet gather [others] to him, beside his own gathered [outcasts].

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

All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea, ] all ye beasts in the forest.

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

His watchmen are all of them blind, they know nothing; they all are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreamers, lying down, loving to slumber.

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

But the dogs are of a greedy disposition, they know not how to be satisfied; and those are shepherds that know how to understand: they all turn to their own way, every one after his gain, from all quarters.

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

Come ye, I will fetch wine, and let us swallow abundantly of strong drink; and like this day shall it be tomorrow, excellent and in very great abundance.
