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 this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by the LORD’s name, 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 citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; the LORD of Armies 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. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.
| لأَنِّي عَالِمٌ بِعِنَادِكَ، وَأَنَّ رَقَبَتَكَ ذَاتُ عَضَلٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَجَبْهَتَكَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
| 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 you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved 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 |
You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you 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. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you 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 |
Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you 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 hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.
| نَقَّيْتُكَ وَلَيْسَ كَالْفِضَّةِ وَامْتَحَنْتُكَ فِي كُورِ الأَلَمِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you 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 would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
| اسْمَعْ لِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَا إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي دَعَوْتُهُ. أَنَا هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ. | ١٢ 12 |
“Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.
| قَدْ أَرْسَتْ يَدِي قَوَاعِدَ الأَرْضِ، وَبَسَطَتْ يَمِينِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، أَدْعُوهُنَّ فَيَمْثُلْنَ مَعاً. | ١٣ 13 |
Yes, 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 of you, and hear! Who amongst them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
| لَقَدْ دَعَوْتُ أَنَا بِذَاتِي كُورُشَ وَعَهِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِمَا أُرِيدُ، وَسَأُكَلِّلُ أَعْمَالَهُ بِالْنَّجَاحِ | ١٥ 15 |
I, even I, have spoken. Yes, 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 near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord GOD has sent me with his Spirit.
| 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 |
The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
| لَيْتَكَ أَطَعْتَ وَصَايَايَ لَكَانَ سَلامُكَ كَالنَّهْرِ، وَبِرُّكَ كَأَمْوَاجِ الْبَحْرِ، | ١٨ 18 |
Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
| وَلَكَانَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ كَالرَّمْلِ، وَنَسْلُ أَحْشَائِكَ كَعَدَدِ حَبَّاتِهِ، فَلا يُسْتَأْصَلُ أَوْ يَنْقَرِضُ اسْمُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. 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 |
Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
| لَمْ يَعْطَشُوا عِنْدَمَا اجْتَازَ بِهِمْ عَبْرَ الصَّحْرَاءِ. فَجَّرَ لَهُمُ الْمِيَاهَ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ. شَقَّهُ فَتَدَفَّقَتْ مِنْهُ الْمِيَاهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
They didn’t 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 the LORD, “for the wicked.”
