< إشَعْياء 44 >

أَمَّا الآنَ فَاسْمَعْ يَا يَعْقُوبُ عَبْدِي، وَيَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي اصْطَفَيْتُهُ. ١ 1
Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
أَنَا خَالِقُكُمْ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ وَمُعِينُكُمْ، لَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ وَلا تَجْزَعِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا. ٢ 2
This is what the LORD who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: "Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
لأَنِّي سَأَسْكُبُ مَاءً عَلَى الأَرْضِ الْظَّمْأَى، وَأُجْرِي السُّيُولَ عَلَى التُّرْبَةِ الْيَابِسَةِ، وَأَفِيضُ بِرُوحِي عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِكَ، وَبَرَكَاتِي عَلَى نَسْلِكَ. ٣ 3
For I will pour water upon the thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants:
فَيَنْبُتُونَ بَيْنَ الْعُشْبِ مُزْهِرِينَ كَالْصَّفْصَافِ عِنْدَ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ. ٤ 4
and they will spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
وَيَقُولُونَ بِمِلْءِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ: «أَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ. أَنَا ابْنُ يَعْقُوبَ». وَيَكْتُبُ عَلَى يَدِهِ اسْمَ اللهِ، وَبِاسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُلَقَّبُ. ٥ 5
One will say, 'I am the LORD's;' and another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand 'to the LORD,' and honor the name of Israel."
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَادِيهِ: «أَنَا هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ، وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي. ٦ 6
This is what the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts, says: "I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
مَنْ مِثْلِي فَلْيُخْبِرْ بِذَلِكِ، وَيُعْلِنْهُ وَيَعْرِضْ أَمَامِي أَحْدَاثَ الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ مُنْذُ أَنْ أَنْشَأْتُ شَعْبِي الْقَدِيمَ، وَمَا سَيَجِيءُ بِهِ الْغَدُ، وَلْيَكْشِفْ عَنْ حَوَادِثِ الزَّمَنِ الْمُقْبِلِ. ٧ 7
Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.
لَا تَجْزَعُوا وَلا تَفْزَعُوا، أَلَمْ أُخْبِرْكُمْ بِهَذَا وَأُنْبِئْكُمْ بِهِ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ؟ أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي. هَلْ هُنَاكَ إِلْهٌ غَيْرِي؟ هَلْ هُنَاكَ صَخْرَةٌ أُخْرَى لَا عِلْمَ لِي بِوُجُودِهَا؟» ٨ 8
Do not fear, neither be afraid. Haven't I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I do not know any other Rock."
كُلُّ صَانِعِي التَّمَاثِيلِ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُمْ، وَمُشْتَهَيَاتُهُمْ لَا طَائِلَ مِنْهَا. وَهُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَيْهَا أَنَّهَا لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلا تَعْلَمُ لِكَيْ يَخْزَوْا. ٩ 9
Everyone who makes an engraved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses do not see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
مَنْ يُصَوِّرُ صَنَماً أَوْ يَسْبِكُ تِمْثَالاً لَا تُرْتَجَى مِنْهُ فَائِدَةٌ؟ ١٠ 10
Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?
هَذَا وَأَمْثَالُهُ يَلْحَقُ بِهِمِ الْعَارُ لأَنَّ الصُّنَّاعَ لَيْسُوا سِوَى بَشَرٍ. فَلْيَجْتَمِعُوا إِذاً وَيَمْثُلُوا أَمَامِي، فَيَنْتَابَهُمْ رُعْبٌ وَيَخْزَوْا مَعاً. ١١ 11
Look, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
يَصْنَعُ الْحَدَّادُ فَأْساً بَعْدَ أَنْ يُقَلِّبَهَا فِي جَمَرَاتِ الْكُورِ وَيَطْرُقَهَا، وَيُشَكِّلَهَا بِذِرَاعِهِ الْقَوِيَّةِ. لَا يَعْبَأُ بِالْجُوعِ وَلا بِنُضُوبِ قُوَّتِهِ، وَلا بِالْعَطَشِ وَالإِعْيَاءِ. ١٢ 12
The blacksmith takes an axe, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
ثُمَّ يَأْتِي نَجَّارٌ فَيَتَنَاوَلُ قِطْعَةَ خَشَبٍ وَيَمُدُّ عَلَيْهَا الْخَيْطَ وَيُعَلِّمُهَا وَيُنَعِّمُهَا وَيَحْفُرُ عَلَيْهَا بِالبِرْكَارِ صُورَةَ إِنْسَانٍ سَاحِرِ الْجَمَالِ لِيَنْصُبَهُ صَنَماً فِي مَنْزِلٍ. ١٣ 13
The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.
يَقْطَعُ شَجَرَةَ أَرْزٍ أَوْ يَخْتَارُ سِنْدِيَاناً أَوْ بَلُّوطاً. يَتْرُكُهَا تَنْمُو بَيْنَ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ. أَوْ يَزْرَعُ شَجَرَةَ صَنُوبَرٍ فَيُنْمِيهَا الْمَطَرُ. ١٤ 14
He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir tree, and the rain nourishes it.
ثُمَّ تُصْبِحُ وَقُوداً لِنِيرَانِ النَّاسِ: يَأْخُذُ بَعْضاً مِنْهَا لِيُدْفِئَ نَفْسَهُ، أَوْ يُوْقِدَهُ لِيَخْبِزَ خُبْزَهُ، أَوْ يَنْحَتَ مِنْهُ إِلَهاً يَعْبُدُهُ، يَصْنَعُ مِنْهُ تِمْثَالاً يَخُرُّ أَمَامَهُ سَاجِداً. ١٥ 15
Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it, and warms himself. Yes, he burns it, and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it an engraved image, and falls down to it.
يُوْقِدُ نِصْفَهُ فِي النَّارِ وَعَلَى نِصْفِهِ الآخَرِ يَأْكُلُ لَحْماً، يَشْوِي شِوَاءً وَيَشْبَعُ، وَيُدْفِئُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: آهِ، أَنَا مُسْتَدْفِئٌ، وَأَرَى نَاراً. ١٦ 16
He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast, and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself, and says, "Aha. I am warm. I have seen the fire."
وَيَصْنَعُ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْهُ إِلَهاً، صَنَماً يَخُرُّ أَمَامَهُ سَاجِداً مُبْتَهِلاً إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: أَنْقِذْنِي. أَنْتَ إِلَهِي. ١٧ 17
The rest of it he makes into a god, even his engraved image. He bows down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, "Deliver me; for you are my god."
إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ وَلا يُدْرِكُونَ، إِذْ غُشِيَ عَلَى عُيُونِهِمْ فَلا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَأُغْلِقَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلا يَفْهَمُونَ. ١٨ 18
They do not know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can't see; and their hearts, that they can't understand.
لَيْسَ مِنْ مُتَأَمِّلٍ أَوْ ذِي مَعْرِفَةٍ أَوْ إِدْرَاكٍ يَقُولُ: قَدْ أَحْرَقْتُ نِصْفَ الشَّجْرَةِ بِالنَّارِ وَخَبَزْتُ خُبْزِي عَلَى جَمْرَاتِهَا، شَوَيْتُ لَحْماً عَلَيْهَا وَأَكَلْتُهُ. أَفَأَصْنَعُ مِنْ بَقِيَّتِهَا رِجْساً وَأَسْجُدُ أَمَامَ قِطْعَةِ خَشَبٍ؟ ١٩ 19
No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, "I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?"
لَكَأَنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ الرَّمَادَ! يَجْرِي وَرَاءَ سَرَابٍ وَيعْجَزُ عَنْ إِنْقَاذِ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ الاعْتِرَافِ أَنَّ الصَّنَمَ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُهُ بِيَدِهِ هُوَ مَحْضُ ضَلالٍ! ٢٠ 20
He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, "Isn't there a lie in my right hand?"
اذْكُرْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، قَدْ جَبَلْتُكَ فَأَنْتَ عَبْدِي، وَأَنَا لَا أَنْسَاكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٢١ 21
Remember these things, Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
قَدْ مَحَوْتُ كَغَيْمَةٍ عَابِرَةٍ ذُنُوبَكَ، وَكَسَحَابَةٍ خَطَايَاكَ. ارْجِعْ تَائِباً إِلَيَّ لأَنِّي قَدْ فَدَيْتُكَ. ٢٢ 22
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَنْجَزَ فِعْلَهُ. اهْتِفِي يَا أَعْمَاقَ الأَرْضِ، وَتَفَجَّرِي غِنَاءً يَا جِبَالُ وَيَا غَابَاتُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا مِنْ شَجَرٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ افْتَدَى يَعْقُوبَ وَتَمَجَّدَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٣ 23
Sing, you heavens, for the LORD has done it. Shout, you lower parts of the earth. Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمِ: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ صَانِعُ كُلِّ الأَشْيَاءِ، الَّذِي نَشَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدَهُ، وَبَسَطَ الأَرْضَ بِنَفْسِهِ. مَنْ كَانَ مَعِي حِينَذَاكَ؟ ٢٤ 24
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;
يَكْشِفُ نِفَاقَ الْمُخَادِعِينَ، وَيَفْضَحُ حُمْقَ الْعَرَّافِينَ، وَيُبْطِلُ مَشُورَةَ الْحُكَمَاءِ تَسْفِيهاً لِعِلْمِهِمْ. ٢٥ 25
who foils the omens of the empty talkers, and makes fools of diviners; who turns sages back, and makes their knowledge foolish;
أَنَا هُوَ مُتَمِّمُ كَلامِ عَبْدِهِ، وَمُحَقِّقُ مَشُورَةِ رُسُلِهِ، الْقَائِلُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: لابُدَّ أَنْ تَعُودَ عَامِرَةً وَعَنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: لابُدَّ أَنْ تُبْنَى، وَأَنَا أُعِيدُ تَشْيِيدَ خِرَبِهَا. ٢٦ 26
who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, 'She will be inhabited;' and of the cities of Judah, 'They will be built,' and 'I will raise up its waste places;'
الْقَائِلُ لِلُّجَّةِ: جِفِّي وَأَنَا أُنَشِّفُ أَنْهَارَكِ. ٢٧ 27
who says to the deep, 'Be dry,' and 'I will dry up your rivers;'
الْقَائِلُ عَنْ كُورُشَ: هُوَ رَاعِيَّ الَّذِي يُلَبِّي كُلَّ رَغْبَاتِي وَالْقَائِلُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: لابُدَّ أَنْ تُبْنَى وَعَنِ الْهَيْكَلِ: لابُدَّ أَنْ يُؤَسَّسَ». ٢٨ 28
Who says of Koresh, 'He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure,' even saying of Jerusalem, 'She will be built;' and of the temple, 'Your foundation will be laid.'"
