< إِشَعْيَاءَ 1 >
رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحِزْقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا: | ١ 1 |
The vision which Esaias the son of Amos saw, which he saw against Juda, and against Jerusalem, in the reign of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, who reigned over Judea.
اِسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ: «رَبَّيْتُ بَنِينَ وَنَشَّأْتُهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْا عَلَيَّ. | ٢ 2 |
Hear, O heaven, and listen, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, [saying], I have begotten and reared up children, but they have rebelled against me.
اَلثَّوْرُ يَعْرِفُ قَانِيَهُ وَٱلْحِمَارُ مِعْلَفَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَلَا يَعْرِفُ. شَعْبِي لَا يَفْهَمُ». | ٣ 3 |
The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know me, and the people has not regarded me.
وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَّةِ ٱلْخَاطِئَةِ، ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلْإِثْمِ، نَسْلِ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، أَوْلَادِ مُفْسِدِينَ! تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، ٱسْتَهَانُوا بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: you have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
عَلَى مَ تُضْرَبُونَ بَعْدُ؟ تَزْدَادُونَ زَيَغَانًا! كُلُّ ٱلرَّأْسِ مَرِيضٌ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْقَلْبِ سَقِيمٌ. | ٥ 5 |
Why should you be struck [any] more, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.
مِنْ أَسْفَلِ ٱلْقَدَمِ إِلَى ٱلرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ صِحَّةٌ، بَلْ جُرْحٌ وَأَحْبَاطٌ وَضَرْبَةٌ طَرِيَّةٌ لَمْ تُعْصَرْ وَلَمْ تُعْصَبْ وَلَمْ تُلَيَّنْ بِٱلزَّيْتِ. | ٦ 6 |
From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them; neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer [are healed]: it is not possible to apply a plaister, nor oil, nor bandages.
بِلَادُكُمْ خَرِبَةٌ. مُدُنُكُمْ مُحْرَقَةٌ بِٱلنَّارِ. أَرْضُكُمْ تَأْكُلُهَا غُرَبَاءُ قُدَّامَكُمْ، وَهِيَ خَرِبَةٌ كَٱنْقِلَابِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ. | ٧ 7 |
Your land is desolate, your cities burnt with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations.
فَبَقِيَتِ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ كَمِظَلَّةٍ فِي كَرْمٍ، كَخَيْمَةٍ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ، كَمَدِينَةٍ مُحَاصَرَةٍ. | ٨ 8 |
The daughter of Sion shall be deserted as a tent in a vineyard, and as a storehouse of fruits in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَبْقَى لَنَا بَقِيَّةً صَغِيرَةً، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ. | ٩ 9 |
And if the Lord of Sabaoth had not left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been made like Gomorrha.
اِسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا قُضَاةَ سَدُومَ! أَصْغُوا إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِنَا يَا شَعْبَ عَمُورَةَ: | ١٠ 10 |
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodoma; attend to the law of God, you people of Gomorrha.
«لِمَاذَا لِي كَثْرَةُ ذَبَائِحِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٱتَّخَمْتُ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ كِبَاشٍ وَشَحْمِ مُسَمَّنَاتٍ، وَبِدَمِ عُجُولٍ وَخِرْفَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ مَا أُسَرُّ. | ١١ 11 |
Of what [value] to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? says the Lord: I am full of whole burnt offerings of rams; and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats:
حِينَمَا تَأْتُونَ لِتَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي، مَنْ طَلَبَ هَذَا مِنْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْ تَدُوسُوا دُورِي؟ | ١٢ 12 |
neither shall you come [with these] to appear before me; for who has required these things at your hands? You shall no more tread my court.
لَا تَعُودُوا تَأْتُونَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. ٱلْبَخُورُ هُوَ مَكْرَهَةٌ لِي. رَأْسُ ٱلشَّهْرِ وَٱلسَّبْتُ وَنِدَاءُ ٱلْمَحْفَلِ. لَسْتُ أُطِيقُ ٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلِٱعْتِكَافَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Though you bring fine flour, [it is] vain; incense is an abomination to me; I can’t bear your new moons, and your sabbaths, and the great day;
رُؤُوسُ شُهُورِكُمْ وَأَعْيَادُكُمْ بَغَضَتْهَا نَفْسِي. صَارَتْ عَلَيَّ ثِقْلًا. مَلِلْتُ حَمْلَهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
[your] fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: you have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins.
فَحِينَ تَبْسُطُونَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ أَسْتُرُ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتُمُ ٱلصَّلَاةَ لَا أَسْمَعُ. أَيْدِيكُمْ مَلْآنَةٌ دَمًا. | ١٥ 15 |
When you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away mine eyes from you: and though you make many supplications, I will not listen to you; for your hands are full of blood.
اِغْتَسِلُوا. تَنَقَّوْا. ٱعْزِلُوا شَرَّ أَفْعَالِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. كُفُّوا عَنْ فِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities;
تَعَلَّمُوا فَعْلَ ٱلْخَيْرِ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلْحَقَّ. ٱنْصِفُوا ٱلْمَظْلُومَ. ٱقْضُوا لِلْيَتِيمِ. حَامُوا عَنِ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
learn to do well; diligently seek judgement, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.
هَلُمَّ نَتَحَاجَجْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. إِنْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاكُمْ كَٱلْقِرْمِزِ تَبْيَضُّ كَٱلثَّلْجِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ حَمْرَاءَ كَٱلدُّودِيِّ تَصِيرُ كَٱلصُّوفِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And come, let us reason together, says the Lord: and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make [them] white as wool.
إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَسَمِعْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ خَيْرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And if you be willing, and listen to me, you shall eat the good of the land:
وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ تُؤْكَلُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
but if you be not willing, nor listen to me, a sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
كَيْفَ صَارَتِ ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْأَمِينَةُ زَانِيَةً! مَلآنَةً حَقًّا. كَانَ ٱلْعَدْلُ يَبِيتُ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱلْقَاتِلُونَ. | ٢١ 21 |
How has the faithful city Sion, [once] full of judgement, become a harlot! wherein righteousness lodged, but now murderers.
صَارَتْ فِضَّتُكِ زَغَلًا وَخَمْرُكِ مَغْشُوشَةً بِمَاءٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Your silver is worthless, your wine merchants mix the wine with water.
رُؤَسَاؤُكِ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ وَلُغَفَاءُ ٱللُّصُوصِ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يُحِبُّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ وَيَتْبَعُ ٱلْعَطَايَا. لَا يَقْضُونَ لِلْيَتِيمِ، وَدَعْوَى ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Your princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَزِيزُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «آهِ! إِنِّي أَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ خُصَمَائِي وَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، | ٢٤ 24 |
Therefore thus says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Woe to the mighty [men] of Israel; for my wrath shall not cease against mine adversaries, and I will execute judgement on mine enemies.
وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأُنَقِّي زَغَلَكِ كَأَنَّهُ بِٱلْبَوْرَقِ، وَأَنْزِعُ كُلَّ قَصْدِيرِكِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
And I will bring my hand upon you, and purge you completely, and I will destroy the rebellious, and will take away from you all transgressors.
وَأُعِيدُ قُضَاتَكِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَمُشِيرِيكِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُدْعَيْنَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْعَدْلِ، ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلْأَمِينَةَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
And I will establish your judges as before, and your counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city of Sion.
صِهْيَوْنُ تُفْدَى بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَتَائِبُوهَا بِٱلْبِرِّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
For her captives shall be saved with judgement, and with mercy.
وَهَلَاكُ ٱلْمُذْنِبِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ يَكُونُ سَوَاءً، وَتَارِكُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَفْنَوْنَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And the transgressors and the sinners shall be crushed together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be utterly consumed.
لِأَنَّهُمْ يَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُطْمِ ٱلَّتِي ٱشْتَهَيْتُمُوهَا، وَتُخْزَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُمُوهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
For they shall be ashamed of their idols, which they delighted in, and they are made ashamed of the gardens which they coveted.
لِأَنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ كَبُطْمَةٍ قَدْ ذَبُلَ وَرَقُهَا، وَكَجَنَّةٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَاءٌ. | ٣٠ 30 |
For they shall be as a turpentine tree that has cast its leaves, and as a garden that has no water.
وَيَصِيرُ ٱلْقَوِيُّ مَشَاقَةً وَعَمَلُهُ شَرَارًا، فَيَحْتَرِقَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُطْفِئُ. | ٣١ 31 |
And their strength shall be as a thread of tow, and their works as sparks, and the transgressors and the sinners shall be burnt up together, and there shall be none to quench [them].
