< إشَعْياء 46 >

قَدْ خَرَّ وَانْحَنَى بِيلُ وَنَبُو إِلَهَا بَابِلَ وَحَمَّلُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُمَا عَلَى الْحَمِيرِ الْمُرْهَقَةِ الَّتِي نَاءَتْ بِأَثْقَالِهَا. ١ 1
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
سَقَطَتْ جَمِيعُهَا وَعَجَزَتْ عَنْ حِمَايَةِ نَفْسِهَا بَلْ أُخِذَتْ هِيَ نَفْسُهَا إِلَى السَّبْيِ مَعَ المَأْسُورِينَ. ٢ 2
They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.
أصْغُوا إِلَيَّ يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَا بَقِيَّةَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرائِيلَ الَّذِينَ حَمَلْتُهُمْ مُنْذُ أَنْ حُبِلَ بِهِمْ، وَتَكَفَّلْتُ بِهِمْ مُنْذُ مَوْلِدِهِمْ، ٣ 3
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا أَنَا حَتَّى زَمَنِ شَيْخُوخَتِكُمْ، وَحَمَلْتُكُمْ فِي مَشِيبِكُمْ. أَنَا صَنَعْتُكُمْ، لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وأَخَلِّصُكُمْ. ٤ 4
Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
بِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي وَتُعَادِلُونَنِي وَتُقَارِنُونَنِي حَتَّى نَكُونَ مُتَمَاثِلَيْنِ؟ ٥ 5
To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
هَلْ بِالَّذِينَ يُفْرِغُونَ الذَّهَبَ مِنَ الْكِيسِ وَيَزِنُونَ الْفِضَّةَ بِالْمِيزَانِ، وَيَسْتَأْجِرُونَ صَائِغاً لِيَسْبُكَهَا إِلَهاً، وَيَخُرُّونَ لَهَا سَاجِدِينَ؟ ٦ 6
Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.
يَرْفَعُونَهَا عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ وَيَنْقُلُونَهَا لِيَنْصِبُوهَا فِي مَوْضِعِهَا حَيْثُ تَسْتَقِرُّ هُنَاكَ لَا تَبْرَحُ مِنْ مَكَانِهَا، وَإِنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِها أَحَدٌ لَا تَسْتَجِيبُ وَلا تُنَجِّيهِ مِنْ مِحْنَتِهِ؟ ٧ 7
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
اذْكُرُوا هَذَا وَاتَّعِظُوا. انْقُشُوهُ فِي أَذْهَانِكُمْ يَا عُصَاةُ! ٨ 8
Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
تَذَكَّرُوا الأُمُورَ الْغَابِرَةَ الْقَدِيمَةَ لأَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. ٩ 9
Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me;
وَقَدْ أَنْبَأْتُ بِالنِّهَايَةِ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ، وَأَخْبَرْتُ مِنَ الْقِدَمِ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ حَدَثَتْ بَعْدُ، قَائِلاً: مَقَاصِدِي لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتِمَّ، وَمَشِيئَتِي لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتَحَقَّقَ. ١٠ 10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
أَدْعُو مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ الطَّائِرَ الْجَارِحَ، وَمِنَ الأَرْضِ الْبَعِيدَةِ رَجُلَ مَشُورَتِي. قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِقَضَائِي وَلابُدَّ أَنْ أُجْرِيَهُ، وَمَا رَسَمْتُهُ مِنْ خِطَّةٍ لابُدَّ أَنْ أُنَفِّذَهُ. ١١ 11
Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do it.
أَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ يَا غِلاظَ الْقُلُوبِ أَيُّهَا الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنِ الْبِرِّ، ١٢ 12
Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
لَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَوَانَ بِرِّي قَرِيباً. لَمْ يَعُدْ بَعِيداً، وَخَلاصِي لَا يُبْطِئُ. سَأَجْعَلُ خَلاصاً فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَجْدِي. ١٣ 13
I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
