إِشَعْيَاءَ 57

١ 1 بَادَ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَضَعُ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ. وَرِجَالُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ يُضَمُّونَ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْطَنُ بِأَنَّهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُضَمُّ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and godly men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

٢ 2 يَدْخُلُ ٱلسَّلَامَ. يَسْتَرِيحُونَ فِي مَضَاجِعِهِمِ. ٱلسَّالِكُ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ.

He entereth into peace, they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness.

٣ 3 «أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا بَنِي ٱلسَّاحِرَةِ، نَسْلَ ٱلْفَاسِقِ وَٱلزَّانِيَةِ.

But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

٤ 4 بِمَنْ تَسْخَرُونَ، وَعَلَى مَنْ تَفْغَرُونَ ٱلْفَمَ وَتَدْلَعُونَ ٱللِّسَانَ؟ أَمَا أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَادُ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ، نَسْلُ ٱلْكَذِبِ؟

Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

٥ 5 ٱلْمُتَوَقِّدُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَصْنَامِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، ٱلْقَاتِلُونَ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ فِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ تَحْتَ شُقُوقِ ٱلْمَعَاقِلِ.

Ye that inflame yourselves among the terebinths, under every leafy tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

٦ 6 فِي حِجَارَةِ ٱلْوَادِي ٱلْمُلْسِ نَصِيبُكِ. تِلْكَ هِيَ قُرْعَتُكِ. لِتِلْكَ سَكَبْتِ سَكِيبًا وَأَصْعَدْتِ تَقْدِمَةً. أَعَنْ هَذِهِ أَتَعَزَّى؟

Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meal-offering. Should I pacify Myself for these things?

٧ 7 عَلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ وَمُرْتَفِعٍ وَضَعْتِ مَضْجَعَكِ، وَإِلَى هُنَاكَ صَعِدْتِ لِتَذْبَحِي ذَبِيحَةً.

Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed; thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

٨ 8 وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَابِ وَٱلْقَائِمَةِ وَضَعْتِ تَذْكَارَكِ، لِأَنَّكِ لِغَيْرِي كَشَفْتِ وَصَعِدْتِ. أَوْسَعْتِ مَضْجَعَكِ وَقَطَعْتِ لِنَفْسِكِ عَهْدًا مَعَهُمْ. أَحْبَبْتِ مَضْجَعَهُمْ. نَظَرْتِ فُرْصَةً.

And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy symbol; for thou hast uncovered, and art gone up from Me, thou hast enlarged thy bed, and chosen thee of them whose bed thou lovedst, whose hand thou sawest.

٩ 9 وَسِرْتِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلدُّهْنِ، وَأَكْثَرْتِ أَطْيَابَكِ، وَأَرْسَلْتِ رُسُلَكِ إِلَى بُعْدٍ وَنَزَلْتِ حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)

And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, even down to the nether-world. (Sheol h7585)

١٠ 10 بِطُولِ أَسْفَارِكِ أَعْيَيْتِ، وَلَمْ تَقُولِي: يَئِسْتُ. شَهْوَتَكِ وَجَدْتِ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ تَضْعُفِي.

Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not: 'There is no hope'; thou didst find a renewal of thy strength, therefore thou wast not affected.

١١ 11 وَمِمَّنْ خَشِيتِ وَخِفْتِ حَتَّى خُنْتِ، وَإِيَّايَ لَمْ تَذْكُرِي، وَلَا وَضَعْتِ فِي قَلْبِكِ؟ أَمَّا أَنَا سَاكِتٌ، وَذَلِكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، فَإِيَّايَ لَمْ تَخَافِي.

And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou wouldest fail? And as for Me, thou hast not remembered Me, nor laid it to thy heart. Have not I held My peace even of long time? Therefore thou fearest Me not.

١٢ 12 أَنَا أُخْبِرُ بِبِرِّكِ وَبِأَعْمَالِكِ فَلَا تُفِيدُكِ.

I will declare thy righteousness; thy works also — they shall not profit thee.

١٣ 13 إِذْ تَصْرُخِينَ فَلْيُنْقِذْكِ جُمُوعُكِ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلرِّيحُ تَحْمِلُهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ. تَأْخُذُهُمْ نَفَخَةٌ. أَمَّا ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُ عَلَيَّ فَيَمْلِكُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيَرِثُ جَبَلَ قُدْسِي».

When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall bear them off; but he that taketh refuge in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.

١٤ 14 وَيَقُولُ: «أَعِدُّوا، أَعِدُّوا. هَيِّئُوا ٱلطَّرِيقَ. ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلْمَعْثَرَةَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ شَعْبِي».

And He will say: cast ye up, cast ye up, clear the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلْعَلِيُّ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعُ، سَاكِنُ ٱلْأَبَدِ، ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱسْمُهُ: «فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ أَسْكُنُ، وَمَعَ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِ وَٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِ ٱلرُّوحِ، لِأُحْيِيَ رُوحَ ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ، وَلِأُحْيِيَ قَلْبَ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِينَ.

For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

١٦ 16 لِأَنِّي لَا أُخَاصِمُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا أَغْضَبُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يُغْشَى عَلَيْهَا أَمَامِي، وَٱلنَّسَمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتُهَا.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit that enwrappeth itself is from Me, and the souls which I have made.

١٧ 17 مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِ مَكْسَبِهِ غَضِبْتُ وَضَرَبْتُهُ. اَسْتَتَرْتُ وَغَضِبْتُ، فَذَهَبَ عَاصِيًا فِي طَرِيقِ قَلْبِهِ.

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him, I hid Me and was wroth; and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

١٨ 18 رَأَيْتُ طُرُقَهُ وَسَأَشْفِيهِ وَأَقُودُهُ، وَأَرُدُّ تَعْزِيَاتٍ لَهُ وَلِنَائِحِيهِ

I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will lead him also, and requite with comforts him and his mourners.

١٩ 19 خَالِقًا ثَمَرَ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ. سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ لِلْبَعِيدِ وَلِلْقَرِيبِ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَسَأَشْفِيهِ.

Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith the LORD that createth the fruit of the lips; and I will heal him.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَكَالْبَحْرِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِبِ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَهْدَأَ، وَتَقْذِفُ مِيَاهُهُ حَمْأَةً وَطِينًا.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

٢١ 21 لَيْسَ سَلَامٌ، قَالَ إِلَهِي، لِلْأَشْرَارِ.

There is no peace, saith my God concerning the wicked.
