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 were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy loaden; [they are] 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, but 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, which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
| وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا أَنَا حَتَّى زَمَنِ شَيْخُوخَتِكُمْ، وَحَمَلْتُكُمْ فِي مَشِيبِكُمْ. أَنَا صَنَعْتُكُمْ، لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وأَخَلِّصُكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs will I carry [you: ] I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].
| 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 |
They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they 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 |
They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, [one] shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
| اذْكُرُوا هَذَا وَاتَّعِظُوا. انْقُشُوهُ فِي أَذْهَانِكُمْ يَا عُصَاةُ! | ٨ 8 |
Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring [it] again to mind, O ye transgressors.
| تَذَكَّرُوا الأُمُورَ الْغَابِرَةَ الْقَدِيمَةَ لأَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. | ٩ 9 |
Remember the former things of old: for 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 [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
| 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 ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.
| أَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ يَا غِلاظَ الْقُلُوبِ أَيُّهَا الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنِ الْبِرِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, 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.
