إِشَعْيَاءَ 66

١ 1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ كُرْسِيِّي، وَٱلْأَرْضُ مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيَّ. أَيْنَ ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي تَبْنُونَ لِي؟ وَأَيْنَ مَكَانُ رَاحَتِي؟

Thus saith Yhwh, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

٢ 2 وَكُلُّ هَذِهِ صَنَعَتْهَا يَدِي، فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ هَذِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَإِلَى هَذَا أَنْظُرُ: إِلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقِ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْمُرْتَعِدِ مِنْ كَلَامِي.

For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith Yhwh: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

٣ 3 مَنْ يَذْبَحُ ثَوْرًا فَهُوَ قَاتِلُ إِنْسَانٍ. مَنْ يَذْبَحُ شَاةً فَهُوَ نَاحِرُ كَلْبٍ. مَنْ يُصْعِدُ تَقْدِمَةً يُصْعِدُ دَمَ خِنْزِيرٍ. مَنْ أَحْرَقَ لُبَانًا فَهُوَ مُبَارِكٌ وَثَنًا. بَلْ هُمُ ٱخْتَارُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَبِمَكْرَهَاتِهِمْ سُرَّتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ.

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

٤ 4 فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَخْتَارُ مَصَائِبَهُمْ، وَمَخَاوِفَهُمْ أَجْلِبُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا. بَلْ عَمِلُوا ٱلْقَبِيحَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَٱخْتَارُوا مَا لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ».

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

٥ 5 اِسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْتَعِدُونَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ: «قَالَ إِخْوَتُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْغَضُوكُمْ وَطَرَدُوكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي: لِيَتَمَجَّدِ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَظْهَرُ لِفَرَحِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَيَخْزَوْنَ.

Hear the word of Yhwh, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let Yhwh be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

٦ 6 صَوْتُ ضَجِيجٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، صَوْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُجَازِيًا أَعْدَاءَهُ.

A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yhwh that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

٧ 7 قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا ٱلطَّلْقُ وَلَدَتْ. قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ وَلَدَتْ ذَكَرًا.

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

٨ 8 مَنْ سَمِعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا؟ مَنْ رَأَى مِثْلَ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ تَمْخَضُ بِلَادٌ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، أَوْ تُولَدُ أُمَّةٌ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ فَقَدْ مَخَضَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ، بَلْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِيهَا!

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

٩ 9 هَلْ أَنَا أُمْخِضُ وَلَا أُوَلِّدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَوْ أَنَا ٱلْمُوَلِّدُ هَلْ أُغْلِقُ ٱلرَّحِمَ، قَالَ إِلَهُكِ؟

Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Yhwh: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

١٠ 10 ٱفْرَحُوا مَعَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَٱبْتَهِجُوا مَعَهَا، يَا جَمِيعَ مُحِبِّيهَا. اِفْرَحُوا مَعَهَا فَرَحًا، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّائِحِينَ عَلَيْهَا،

Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

١١ 11 لِكَيْ تَرْضَعُوا وَتَشْبَعُوا مِنْ ثَدْيِ تَعْزِيَاتِهَا، لِكَيْ تَعْصِرُوا وَتَتَلَذَّذُوا مِنْ دِرَّةِ مَجْدِهَا».

That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أُدِيرُ عَلَيْهَا سَلَامًا كَنَهْرٍ، وَمَجْدَ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَسَيْلٍ جَارِفٍ، فَتَرْضَعُونَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَيْدِي تُحْمَلُونَ وَعَلَى ٱلرُّكْبَتَيْنِ تُدَلَّلُونَ.

For thus saith Yhwh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

١٣ 13 كَإِنْسَانٍ تُعَزِّيهِ أُمُّهُ هَكَذَا أُعَزِّيكُمْ أَنَا، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعَزَّوْنَ.

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

١٤ 14 فَتَرَوْنَ وَتَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَتَزْهُو عِظَامُكُمْ كَٱلْعُشْبِ، وَتُعْرَفُ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَيَحْنَقُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of Yhwh shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلنَّارِ يَأْتِي، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُ كَزَوْبَعَةٍ لِيَرُدَّ بِحُمُوٍّ غَضَبَهُ، وَزَجْرَهُ بِلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

For, behold, Yhwh will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ بِٱلنَّارِ يُعَاقِبُ وَبِسَيْفِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، وَيَكْثُرُ قَتْلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

For by fire and by his sword will Yhwh plead with all flesh: and the slain of Yhwh shall be many.

١٧ 17 ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَدِّسُونَ وَيُطَهِّرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي ٱلْجَنَّاتِ وَرَاءَ وَاحِدٍ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ، آكِلِينَ لَحْمَ ٱلْخِنْزِيرِ وَٱلرِّجْسَ وَٱلْجُرَذَ، يَفْنَوْنَ مَعًا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith Yhwh.

١٨ 18 وَأَنَا أُجَازِي أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَأَفْكَارَهُمْ. حَدَثَ لِجَمْعِ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ، فَيَأْتُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ مَجْدِي.

For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

١٩ 19 وَأَجْعَلُ فِيهِمْ آيَةً، وَأُرْسِلُ مِنْهُمْ نَاجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ وَفُولَ وَلُودَ ٱلنَّازِعِينَ فِي ٱلْقَوْسِ، إِلَى تُوبَالَ وَيَاوَانَ، إِلَى ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَسْمَعْ خَبَرِي وَلَا رَأَتْ مَجْدِي، فَيُخْبِرُونَ بِمَجْدِي بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

٢٠ 20 وَيُحْضِرُونَ كُلَّ إِخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ، عَلَى خَيْلٍ وَبِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِهَوَادِجَ وَبِغَالٍ وَهُجُنٍ إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، كَمَا يُحْضِرُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَقْدِمَةً فِي إِنَاءٍ طَاهِرٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto Yhwh out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith Yhwh, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yhwh.

٢١ 21 وَأَتَّخِذُ أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ كَهَنَةً وَلَاوِيِّينَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith Yhwh.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا صَانِعٌ تَثْبُتُ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَكَذَا يَثْبُتُ نَسْلُكُمْ وَٱسْمُكُمْ.

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Yhwh, so shall your seed and your name remain.

٢٣ 23 وَيَكُونُ مِنْ هِلَالٍ إِلَى هِلَالٍ وَمِنْ سَبْتٍ إِلَى سَبْتٍ، أَنَّ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ يَأْتِي لِيَسْجُدَ أَمَامِي، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Yhwh.

٢٤ 24 وَيَخْرُجُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ جُثَثَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ، لِأَنَّ دُودَهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَنَارَهُمْ لَا تُطْفَأُ، وَيَكُونُونَ رَذَالَةً لِكُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ».

And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
