إِشَعْيَاءَ 1

١ 1 رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحِزْقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا:

THE VISION of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

٢ 2 اِسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ: «رَبَّيْتُ بَنِينَ وَنَشَّأْتُهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD hath spoken: Children I have reared, and brought up, and they have rebelled against Me.

٣ 3 اَلثَّوْرُ يَعْرِفُ قَانِيَهُ وَٱلْحِمَارُ مِعْلَفَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَلَا يَعْرِفُ. شَعْبِي لَا يَفْهَمُ».

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, My people doth not consider.

٤ 4 وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَّةِ ٱلْخَاطِئَةِ، ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلْإِثْمِ، نَسْلِ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، أَوْلَادِ مُفْسِدِينَ! تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، ٱسْتَهَانُوا بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly; they have forsaken the LORD, they have contemned the Holy One of Israel, they are turned away backward.

٥ 5 عَلَى مَ تُضْرَبُونَ بَعْدُ؟ تَزْدَادُونَ زَيَغَانًا! كُلُّ ٱلرَّأْسِ مَرِيضٌ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْقَلْبِ سَقِيمٌ.

On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;

٦ 6 مِنْ أَسْفَلِ ٱلْقَدَمِ إِلَى ٱلرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ صِحَّةٌ، بَلْ جُرْحٌ وَأَحْبَاطٌ وَضَرْبَةٌ طَرِيَّةٌ لَمْ تُعْصَرْ وَلَمْ تُعْصَبْ وَلَمْ تُلَيَّنْ بِٱلزَّيْتِ.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

٧ 7 بِلَادُكُمْ خَرِبَةٌ. مُدُنُكُمْ مُحْرَقَةٌ بِٱلنَّارِ. أَرْضُكُمْ تَأْكُلُهَا غُرَبَاءُ قُدَّامَكُمْ، وَهِيَ خَرِبَةٌ كَٱنْقِلَابِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ.

Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.

٨ 8 فَبَقِيَتِ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ كَمِظَلَّةٍ فِي كَرْمٍ، كَخَيْمَةٍ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ، كَمَدِينَةٍ مُحَاصَرَةٍ.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

٩ 9 لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَبْقَى لَنَا بَقِيَّةً صَغِيرَةً، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

١٠ 10 اِسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا قُضَاةَ سَدُومَ! أَصْغُوا إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِنَا يَا شَعْبَ عَمُورَةَ:

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

١١ 11 «لِمَاذَا لِي كَثْرَةُ ذَبَائِحِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٱتَّخَمْتُ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ كِبَاشٍ وَشَحْمِ مُسَمَّنَاتٍ، وَبِدَمِ عُجُولٍ وَخِرْفَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ مَا أُسَرُّ.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the LORD; I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

١٢ 12 حِينَمَا تَأْتُونَ لِتَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي، مَنْ طَلَبَ هَذَا مِنْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْ تَدُوسُوا دُورِي؟

When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample My courts?

١٣ 13 لَا تَعُودُوا تَأْتُونَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. ٱلْبَخُورُ هُوَ مَكْرَهَةٌ لِي. رَأْسُ ٱلشَّهْرِ وَٱلسَّبْتُ وَنِدَاءُ ٱلْمَحْفَلِ. لَسْتُ أُطِيقُ ٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلِٱعْتِكَافَ.

Bring no more vain oblations; it is an offering of abomination unto Me; new moon and sabbath, the holding of convocations — I cannot endure iniquity along with the solemn assembly.

١٤ 14 رُؤُوسُ شُهُورِكُمْ وَأَعْيَادُكُمْ بَغَضَتْهَا نَفْسِي. صَارَتْ عَلَيَّ ثِقْلًا. مَلِلْتُ حَمْلَهَا.

Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.

١٥ 15 فَحِينَ تَبْسُطُونَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ أَسْتُرُ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتُمُ ٱلصَّلَاةَ لَا أَسْمَعُ. أَيْدِيكُمْ مَلْآنَةٌ دَمًا.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.

١٦ 16 اِغْتَسِلُوا. تَنَقَّوْا. ٱعْزِلُوا شَرَّ أَفْعَالِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. كُفُّوا عَنْ فِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ.

Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil;

١٧ 17 تَعَلَّمُوا فَعْلَ ٱلْخَيْرِ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلْحَقَّ. ٱنْصِفُوا ٱلْمَظْلُومَ. ٱقْضُوا لِلْيَتِيمِ. حَامُوا عَنِ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ.

Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

١٨ 18 هَلُمَّ نَتَحَاجَجْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. إِنْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاكُمْ كَٱلْقِرْمِزِ تَبْيَضُّ كَٱلثَّلْجِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ حَمْرَاءَ كَٱلدُّودِيِّ تَصِيرُ كَٱلصُّوفِ.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

١٩ 19 إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَسَمِعْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ خَيْرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land;

٢٠ 20 وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ تُؤْكَلُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ.

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken.

٢١ 21 كَيْفَ صَارَتِ ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْأَمِينَةُ زَانِيَةً! مَلآنَةً حَقًّا. كَانَ ٱلْعَدْلُ يَبِيتُ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱلْقَاتِلُونَ.

How is the faithful city become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

٢٢ 22 صَارَتْ فِضَّتُكِ زَغَلًا وَخَمْرُكِ مَغْشُوشَةً بِمَاءٍ.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.

٢٣ 23 رُؤَسَاؤُكِ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ وَلُغَفَاءُ ٱللُّصُوصِ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يُحِبُّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ وَيَتْبَعُ ٱلْعَطَايَا. لَا يَقْضُونَ لِلْيَتِيمِ، وَدَعْوَى ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَزِيزُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «آهِ! إِنِّي أَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ خُصَمَائِي وَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي،

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries, and avenge Me of Mine enemies;

٢٥ 25 وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأُنَقِّي زَغَلَكِ كَأَنَّهُ بِٱلْبَوْرَقِ، وَأَنْزِعُ كُلَّ قَصْدِيرِكِ،

And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purge away thy dross as with lye, and will take away all thine alloy;

٢٦ 26 وَأُعِيدُ قُضَاتَكِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَمُشِيرِيكِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُدْعَيْنَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْعَدْلِ، ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلْأَمِينَةَ».

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

٢٧ 27 صِهْيَوْنُ تُفْدَى بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَتَائِبُوهَا بِٱلْبِرِّ.

Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with righteousness.

٢٨ 28 وَهَلَاكُ ٱلْمُذْنِبِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ يَكُونُ سَوَاءً، وَتَارِكُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَفْنَوْنَ.

But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّهُمْ يَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُطْمِ ٱلَّتِي ٱشْتَهَيْتُمُوهَا، وَتُخْزَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُمُوهَا.

For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

٣٠ 30 لِأَنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ كَبُطْمَةٍ قَدْ ذَبُلَ وَرَقُهَا، وَكَجَنَّةٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَاءٌ.

For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

٣١ 31 وَيَصِيرُ ٱلْقَوِيُّ مَشَاقَةً وَعَمَلُهُ شَرَارًا، فَيَحْتَرِقَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُطْفِئُ.

And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
