< إشَعْياء 46 >
قَدْ خَرَّ وَانْحَنَى بِيلُ وَنَبُو إِلَهَا بَابِلَ وَحَمَّلُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُمَا عَلَى الْحَمِيرِ الْمُرْهَقَةِ الَّتِي نَاءَتْ بِأَثْقَالِهَا. | ١ 1 |
Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary.
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 they have gone into captivity.
أصْغُوا إِلَيَّ يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَا بَقِيَّةَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرائِيلَ الَّذِينَ حَمَلْتُهُمْ مُنْذُ أَنْ حُبِلَ بِهِمْ، وَتَكَفَّلْتُ بِهِمْ مُنْذُ مَوْلِدِهِمْ، | ٣ 3 |
"Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have been carried from the womb;
وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا أَنَا حَتَّى زَمَنِ شَيْخُوخَتِكُمْ، وَحَمَلْتُكُمْ فِي مَشِيبِكُمْ. أَنَا صَنَعْتُكُمْ، لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وأَخَلِّصُكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
بِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي وَتُعَادِلُونَنِي وَتُقَارِنُونَنِي حَتَّى نَكُونَ مُتَمَاثِلَيْنِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
"To whom will you 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 |
Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down—yes, 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 it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
اذْكُرُوا هَذَا وَاتَّعِظُوا. انْقُشُوهُ فِي أَذْهَانِكُمْ يَا عُصَاةُ! | ٨ 8 |
"Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, you 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 no other; 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 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 of my counsel from a far country; yes, 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 |
Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, who 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 wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
