إِشَعْيَاءَ 58

١ 1 «نَادِ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ. لَا تُمْسِكْ. اِرْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ كَبُوقٍ وَأَخْبِرْ شَعْبِي بِتَعَدِّيهِمْ، وَبَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.

"Cry aloud, do not spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

٢ 2 وَإِيَّايَ يَطْلُبُونَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا، وَيُسَرُّونَ بِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِي كَأُمَّةٍ عَمِلَتْ بِرًّا، وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِهَا. يَسْأَلُونَنِي عَنْ أَحْكَامِ ٱلْبِرِّ. يُسَرُّونَ بِٱلتَّقَرُّبِ إِلَى ٱللهِ.

Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.

٣ 3 يَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا صُمْنَا وَلَمْ تَنْظُرْ، ذَلَّلْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَلَمْ تُلَاحِظْ؟ هَا إِنَّكُمْ فِي يَوْمِ صَوْمِكُمْ تُوجِدُونَ مَسَرَّةً، وَبِكُلِّ أَشْغَالِكُمْ تُسَخِّرُونَ.

'Why have we fasted,' say they, 'and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Look, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.

٤ 4 هَا إِنَّكُمْ لِلْخُصُومَةِ وَٱلنِّزَاعِ تَصُومُونَ، وَلِتَضْرِبُوا بِلَكْمَةِ ٱلشَّرِّ. لَسْتُمْ تَصُومُونَ كَمَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِتَسْمِيعِ صَوْتِكُمْ فِي ٱلْعَلَاءِ.

Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you do not fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

٥ 5 أَمِثْلُ هَذَا يَكُونُ صَوْمٌ أَخْتَارُهُ؟ يَوْمًا يُذَلِّلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ فِيهِ نَفْسَهُ، يُحْنِي كَٱلْأَسَلَةِ رَأْسَهُ، وَيْفْرُشُ تَحْتَهُ مِسْحًا وَرَمَادًا. هَلْ تُسَمِّي هَذَا صَوْمًا وَيَوْمًا مَقْبُولًا لِلرَّبِّ؟

Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Jehovah?

٦ 6 أَلَيْسَ هَذَا صَوْمًا أَخْتَارُهُ: حَلَّ قُيُودِ ٱلشَّرِّ. فَكَّ عُقَدِ ٱلنِّيرِ، وَإِطْلَاقَ ٱلْمَسْحُوقِينَ أَحْرَارًا، وَقَطْعَ كُلِّ نِيرٍ.

"Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

٧ 7 أَلَيْسَ أَنْ تَكْسِرَ لِلْجَائِعِ خُبْزَكَ، وَأَنْ تُدْخِلَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ ٱلتَّائِهِينَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ؟ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ عُرْيَانًا أَنْ تَكْسُوهُ، وَأَنْ لَا تَتَغَاضَى عَنْ لَحْمِكَ.

Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

٨ 8 «حِينَئِذٍ يَنْفَجِرُ مِثْلَ ٱلصُّبْحِ نُورُكَ، وَتَنْبُتُ صِحَّتُكَ سَرِيعًا، وَيَسِيرُ بِرُّكَ أَمَامَكَ، وَمَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَجْمَعُ سَاقَتَكَ.

Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall be your rear guard.

٩ 9 حِينَئِذٍ تَدْعُو فَيُجِيبُ ٱلرَّبُّ. تَسْتَغِيثُ فَيَقُولُ: هَأَنَذَا. إِنْ نَزَعْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ ٱلنِّيرَ وَٱلْإِيمَاءَ بِٱلْأصْبُعِ وَكَلَامَ ٱلْإِثْمِ

Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;

١٠ 10 وَأَنْفَقْتَ نَفْسَكَ لِلْجَائِعِ، وَأَشْبَعْتَ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلذَّلِيلَةَ، يُشْرِقُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ نُورُكَ، وَيَكُونُ ظَلَامُكَ ٱلدَّامِسُ مِثْلَ ٱلظُّهْرِ.

and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;

١١ 11 وَيَقُودُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى ٱلدَّوَامِ، وَيُشْبِعُ فِي ٱلْجَدُوبِ نَفْسَكَ، وَيُنَشِّطُ عِظَامَكَ فَتَصِيرُ كَجَنَّةٍ رَيَّا وَكَنَبْعِ مِيَاهٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ مِيَاهُهُ.

and Jehovah will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

١٢ 12 وَمِنْكَ تُبْنَى ٱلْخِرَبُ ٱلْقَدِيمَةُ. تُقِيمُ أَسَاسَاتِ دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، فَيُسَمُّونَكَ: مُرَمِّمَ ٱلثُّغْرَةِ، مُرْجِعَ ٱلْمَسَالِكِ لِلسُّكْنَى.

Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

١٣ 13 «إِنْ رَدَدْتَ عَنِ ٱلسَّبْتِ رِجْلَكَ، عَنْ عَمَلِ مَسَرَّتِكَ يَوْمَ قُدْسِي، وَدَعَوْتَ ٱلسَّبْتَ لَذَّةً، وَمُقَدَّسَ ٱلرَّبِّ مُكَرَّمًا، وَأَكْرَمْتَهُ عَنْ عَمَلِ طُرُقِكَ وَعَنْ إِيجَادِ مَسَرَّتِكَ وَٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِكَلَامِكَ،

"If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Jehovah honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّكَ حِينَئِذٍ تَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلرَّبِّ، وَأُرَكِّبُكَ عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأُطْعِمُكَ مِيرَاثَ يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيكَ، لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ».

then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken it.
