إِشَعْيَاءَ 64

١ 1 لَيْتَكَ تَشُقُّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَنْزِلُ! مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ تَتَزَلْزَلُ ٱلْجِبَالُ.

Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

٢ 2 كَمَا تُشْعِلُ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلْهَشِيمَ، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ تَغْلِي، لِتُعَرِّفَ أَعْدَاءَكَ ٱسْمَكَ، لِتَرْتَعِدَ ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.

[As when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thy adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at thy presence!

٣ 3 حِينَ صَنَعْتَ مَخَاوِفَ لَمْ نَنْتَظِرْهَا، نَزَلْتَ، تَزَلْزَلَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.

When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

٤ 4 وَمُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يَصْغَوْا. لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ إِلَهًا غَيْرَكَ يَصْنَعُ لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُهُ.

For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

٥ 5 تُلَاقِي ٱلْفَرِحَ ٱلصَّانِعَ ٱلْبِرَّ. ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَكَ فِي طُرُقِكَ. هَا أَنْتَ سَخِطْتَ إِذْ أَخْطَأْنَا. هِيَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فَنَخْلُصُ.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth, and worketh righteousness, [those that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

٦ 6 وَقَدْ صِرْنَا كُلُّنَا كَنَجِسٍ، وَكَثَوْبِ عِدَّةٍ كُلُّ أَعْمَالِ بِرِّنَا، وَقَدْ ذَبُلْنَا كَوَرَقَةٍ، وَآثَامُنَا كَرِيحٍ تَحْمِلُنَا.

But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

٧ 7 وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِكَ أَوْ يَنْتَبِهُ لِيَتَمَسَّكَ بِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ وَجْهَكَ عَنَّا، وَأَذَبْتَنَا بِسَبَبِ آثَامِنَا.

And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

٨ 8 وَٱلْآنَ يَارَبُّ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا. نَحْنُ ٱلطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ جَابِلُنَا، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.

٩ 9 لَا تَسْخَطْ كُلَّ ٱلسَّخْطِ يَارَبُّ، وَلَا تَذْكُرِ ٱلْإِثْمَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. هَا ٱنْظُرْ. شَعْبُكَ كُلُّنَا.

Be not very wroth, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people.

١٠ 10 مُدُنُ قُدْسِكَ صَارَتْ بَرِّيَّةً. صِهْيَوْنُ صَارَتْ بَرِّيَّةً، وَأُورُشَلِيمُ مُوحَشَةً.

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

١١ 11 بَيْتُ قُدْسِنَا وَجَمَالِنَا حَيْثُ سَبَّحَكَ آبَاؤُنَا، قَدْ صَارَ حَرِيقَ نَارٍ، وَكُلُّ مُشْتَهَيَاتِنَا صَارَتْ خَرَابًا.

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

١٢ 12 أَلِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ تَتَجَلَّدُ يَارَبُّ؟ أَتَسْكُتُ وَتُذِلُّنَا كُلَّ ٱلذِّلِّ؟

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and grievously afflict us?
