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 perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful 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 shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

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

But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

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

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

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

Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying 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 stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

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

On a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you 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.

Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.

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

And you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even to hell. (Sheol h7585)

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

You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.

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 have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?

١٢ 12 أَنَا أُخْبِرُ بِبِرِّكِ وَبِأَعْمَالِكِ فَلَا تُفِيدُكِ.

I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.

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

When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust 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 shall say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block 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 says the high and lofty One that inhabits 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 should fail before 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 restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

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

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; 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, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

٢١ 21 لَيْسَ سَلَامٌ، قَالَ إِلَهِي، لِلْأَشْرَارِ.

There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
