< إشَعْياء 48 >

اسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ الْمَدْعُوِّينَ بِاسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ صُلْبِ يَهُوذَا، الْحَالِفِينَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، الْمُسْتَشْهِدِينَ بِإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَاطِلاً وَكَذِباً ١ 1
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَيَعْتَمِدُونَ عَلَى إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ: ٢ 2
(for they call themselves of the holy city, and steady themselves upon the God of Israel, Jehovah of hosts is his name):
قَدْ أَنْبَأْتُ بِالأُمُورِ الْغَابِرَةِ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، نَطَقْتُ بِها وَأَذَعْتُهَا، ثُمَّ فَجْأَةً صَنَعْتُهَا وَأَتْمَمْتُهَا ٣ 3
I have declared the former things from of old. Yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them. Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
لأَنِّي عَالِمٌ بِعِنَادِكَ، وَأَنَّ رَقَبَتَكَ ذَاتُ عَضَلٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَجَبْهَتَكَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. ٤ 4
Because I knew that thou are obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
لِهَذَا أَنْبَأْتُ بِها مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ وَأَعْلَنْتُهَا لَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَتَحَقَّقَ، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: إِنَّ وَثَنِي قَدْ صَنَعَهَا، وَتِمْثَالِي الْمَنْحُوتَ وَإِلَهِي الْمَسْبُوكَ قَدَ قَضَى بِها. ٥ 5
therefore I have declared it to thee from of old. Before it came to pass I showed it to thee, lest thou should say, My idol has done them. And my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
قَدْ سَمِعْتَ، فَتَأَمَّلْ فِيهَا كُلِّهَا، أَلا تُقِرُّ بِها؟ مُنْذُ الآنَ وَصَاعِداً سَأُطْلِعُكَ عَلَى أُمُورٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، عَلَى أَسْرَارٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا مِنْ قَبْلُ. ٦ 6
Thou have heard it, behold all this, and ye, will ye not declare it? I have shown thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou have not known.
قَدْ خُلِقَتِ الآنَ وَلَيْسَ مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ، لَمْ تَسْمَعْ بِها قَطُّ قَبْلَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا. ٧ 7
They are created now, and not from of old. And thou have not heard them before this day, lest thou should say, Behold, I knew them.
أَنْتَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَطُّ وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْ أَبَداً، فَمُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ لَمْ تَنْفَتِحْ أُذُنَاكَ، لأَنِّي عَرَفْتُ أَنَّكَ تَتَصَرَّفُ بِغَدْرٍ، وَمُنْذُ مَوْلِدِكَ دُعِيتَ مُتَمَرِّداً ٨ 8
Yea, thou heard not. Yea, thou knew not. Yea, from of old thine ear was not opened. For I knew that thou dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
وَلَكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي أُبَطِّئُ غَضَبِي، وَأَكْبَحُهُ عَنْكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ حَمْدِي حَتَّى لَا أَسْتَأْصِلَكَ. ٩ 9
For my name's sake I will defer my anger, and for my praise I will refrain for thee, that I not cut thee off.
نَقَّيْتُكَ وَلَيْسَ كَالْفِضَّةِ وَامْتَحَنْتُكَ فِي كُورِ الأَلَمِ. ١٠ 10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver. I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
قَدْ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاتِي، نَعَمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاتِي إِذْ كَيْفَ يُدَنَّسُ اسْمِي؟ أَنَا لَا أُعْطِي مَجْدِي لِآخَرَ. ١١ 11
For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it. For how should my name be profaned? And I will not give my glory to another.
اسْمَعْ لِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي دَعَوْتُهُ. أَنَا هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ. ١٢ 12
Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I also am the last.
قَدْ أَرْسَتْ يَدِي قَوَاعِدَ الأَرْضِ، وَبَسَطَتْ يَمِينِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، أَدْعُوهُنَّ فَيَمْثُلْنَ مَعاً. ١٣ 13
Yea, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. When I call to them, they stand up together.
اجْتَمِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَأَنْصِتُوا: مَنْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَصْنَامِ أَنْبَأَ بِهَذِهِ؟ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ أَحَبَّ كُورَشَ، وَهُوَ يُنَفِّذُ قَضَاءَهُ عَلَى بَابِلَ وَيَكُونُ ذِرَاعُهُ عَلَى الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. ١٤ 14
Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear: Who among them has declared these things? He whom Jehovah loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm, the Chaldeans.
لَقَدْ دَعَوْتُ أَنَا بِذَاتِي كُورُشَ وَعَهِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِمَا أُرِيدُ، وَسَأُكَلِّلُ أَعْمَالَهُ بِالْنَّجَاحِ ١٥ 15
I, even I, have spoken, yea, I have called him. I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
اقْتَرِبُوا مِنِّي وَاسْمَعُوا: مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ خُفْيَةً، وَلَدَى حُدُوثِهَا كُنْتُ حَاضِراً هُنَاكَ. وَالآنَ، قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ وَرُوحُهُ بِهَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةِ: ١٦ 16
Come ye near to me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret. From the time that it was, there I am. And now the lord Jehovah and his Spirit has sent me.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُكَ مَا فِيهِ نَفْعٌ لَكَ، وَيَهْدِيكَ فِي النَّهْجِ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَسْلُكَهُ. ١٧ 17
Thus says Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teaches thee to profit, who leads thee by the way that thou should go.
لَيْتَكَ أَطَعْتَ وَصَايَايَ لَكَانَ سَلامُكَ كَالنَّهْرِ، وَبِرُّكَ كَأَمْوَاجِ الْبَحْرِ، ١٨ 18
Oh that thou had hearkened to my commandments! Then thy peace would have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.
وَلَكَانَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ كَالرَّمْلِ، وَنَسْلُ أَحْشَائِكَ كَعَدَدِ حَبَّاتِهِ، فَلا يُسْتَأْصَلُ أَوْ يَنْقَرِضُ اسْمُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. ١٩ 19
Thy seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains of it. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
اكْسِرُوا أَغْلالَ الأَسْرِ. ارْحَلُوا عَنْ بَابِلَ. ارْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ بِالْغِنَاءِ حَتَّى يَذِيعَ فِي أَرْجَاءِ الدُّنْيَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ فَدَى عَبْدَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. ٢٠ 20
Go ye forth from Babylon. Flee ye from the Chaldeans. With a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth. Say ye, Jehovah has redeemed his servant Jacob.
لَمْ يَعْطَشُوا عِنْدَمَا اجْتَازَ بِهِمْ عَبْرَ الصَّحْرَاءِ. فَجَّرَ لَهُمُ الْمِيَاهَ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ. شَقَّهُ فَتَدَفَّقَتْ مِنْهُ الْمِيَاهُ. ٢١ 21
And they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.
أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَلا سَلامَ لَهُمْ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ٢٢ 22
There is no peace, says Jehovah, to the wicked.
