< إشَعْياء 49 >

أنْصِتِي إِلَيَّ أَيَّتُهَا الْجَزَائِرُ، وَأَصْغُوا يَا شُعُوبَ الْبِلادِ الْبَعِيدَةِ: قَدْ دَعَانِي الرَّبُّ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ جَنِيناً، وَذَكَرَ اسْمِي وَأَنَا مَابَرِحْتُ فِي رَحِمِ أُمِّي. ١ 1
Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he made mention of my name:
جَعَلَ فَمِي كَسَيْفٍ قَاطِعٍ، وَوَارَانِي فِي ظِلِّ يَدَيْهِ؛ صَنَعَ مِنِّي سَهْماً مَسْنُوناً وَأَخْفَانِي فِي جُعْبَتِهِ، ٢ 2
and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
وَقَالَ لِي: «أَنْتَ عَبْدِي إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي بِهِ أَتَمَجَّدُ» ٣ 3
and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
وَلَكِنَّنِي أَجَبْتُ: «لَقَدْ تَعِبْتُ بَاطِلاً. وَأَفْنَيْتُ قُوَّتِي سُدىً وَعَبَثاً. غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَقِّي مَحْفُوظٌ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ، وَمَكَافَأَتِي عِنْدَ إِلَهِي». ٤ 4
But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God."
وَالآنَ قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي كَوَّنَنِي فِي رَحِمِ أُمِّي لأَكُونَ لَهُ خَادِماً، حَتَّى أَرُدَّ ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَيْهِ، فَيَجْتَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حَوْلَهُ، فَأَتَمَجَّدَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَيَكُونَ إِلَهِي قُوَّتِي: ٥ 5
Now says the LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength.
لَكَمْ هُوَ يَسِيرٌ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِي عَبْداً لِتَسْتَنْهِضَ أَسْبَاطَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَتَرُدَّ مَنْ نَجَّيْتُ مِنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِذَلِكَ سَأَجْعَلُكَ نُوراً لِلأُمَمِ لِتَكُونَ خَلاصِي إِلَى أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
And he says, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the remnant of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth."
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ فَادِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُدُّوسُهُ لِمَنْ صَارَ مُحْتَقَراً وَمَرْذُولاً لَدَى الأُمَمِ وَعَبْداً لِلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ: يَرَاكَ الْمُلُوكُ وَيَنْهَضُونَ، وَيَسْجُدُ لَكَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الرَّبِّ الأَمِينِ، قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ. ٧ 7
Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «اسْتَجَبْتُكَ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى، وَفِي يَوْمِ خَلاصِي أَعَنْتُكَ فَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأُعْطِيكَ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ لَتَسْتَرِدَّ الأَرْضَ وَتُوَرِّثَ الأَمْلاكَ الَّتِي دَاهَمَهَا الدَّمَارُ، ٨ 8
Thus says the LORD, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
لِتَقُولَ لِلأَسْرَى:’اخْرُجُوا‘وَلِلَّذِينَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ’اظْهَرُوا‘فَيَرْعَوْنَ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ وَتُصْبِحُ الرَّوَابِي الْجَرْدَاءُ مَرَاعِيَ لَهُمْ. ٩ 9
saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
لَا يَجُوعُونَ وَلا يَعْطَشُونَ، وَلا يُعْيِيهُمْ لَهِيبُ الصَّحْرَاءِ وَلا لَفْحُ الشَّمْسِ، لأَنَّ رَاحِمَهُمْ يَهْدِيهِمْ وَيَقُودُهُمْ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ الْمِيَاهِ. ١٠ 10
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
وَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ جِبَالِي سَبِيلاً، وَطُرُقِي تَرْتَفِعُ. ١١ 11
I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
انْظُرُوا، هَا هُمْ يُقْبِلُونَ مِنْ دِيَارٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، هَؤُلاءِ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَهَؤُلاءِ مِنْ أَرْضِ سِينِيمَ». ١٢ 12
Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
فَاهْتِفِي فَرَحاً أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وَابْتَهِجِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ، وَأَشِيدِي بِالتَّرْنِيمِ أَيَّتُهَا الْجِبَالُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ عَزَّى شَعْبَهُ وَرَأَفَ بِبَائِسِيهِ. ١٣ 13
Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
لَكِنَّ أَهْلَ صِهْيَوْنَ قَالُوا: «لَقَدْ أَهْمَلَنَا الرَّبُّ وَنَسِيَنَا». ١٤ 14
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me."
«هَلْ تَنْسَى الْمَرْأَةُ رَضِيعَهَا وَلا تَرْحَمُ ابْنَ أَحْشَائِهَا؟ حَتَّى هَؤُلاءِ يَنْسَيْنَ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلا أَنْسَاكُمْ. ١٥ 15
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
انْظُرُوا هَا أَنَا قَدْ نَقَشْتُكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى كَفِّي، وَأَسْوَارُكِ لَا تَبْرَحُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. ١٦ 16
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
أَسْرَعَ إِلَيْكِ أَوْلادُكِ بَنَّاؤُوكِ، وَفَارَقَكِ هَادِمُوكِ وَمُخَرِّبُوكِ. ١٧ 17
Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from you.
ارْفَعِي عَيْنَيْكِ وَتَلَفَّتِي حَوْلَكِ وَانْظُرِي، فَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ أَبْنَاؤُكِ وَتَوَافَدُوا إِلَيْكِ. حَيٌّ أَنَا»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «فَإِنَّكِ سَتَتَزَيَّنِينَ بِهِمْ كَالْحُلِيِّ وَتَتَقَلَّدِينَهُمْ كَعَرُوسٍ ١٨ 18
Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says the LORD, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
وَتَعِجُّ أَرْضُكِ الْخَرِبَةُ وَدِيَارُكِ الْمُتَهَدِّمَةُ، وَمَنَاطِقُكِ الْمُدَمَّرَةُ بِالسُّكَّانِ حَتَّى تَضِيقَ بِهِمْ، وَيَبْتَعِدَ عَنْكِ مُبْتَلِعُوكِ. ١٩ 19
"For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
وَيَقُولُ أَيْضاً فِي مَسَامِعِكِ بَنُوكِ الْمَوْلُودُونَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ ثُكْلِكِ:’إِنَّ الْمَكَانَ أَضْيَقُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسَعَنَا، فَأَفْسِحِي لَنَا حَتَّى نَسْكُنَ.‘ ٢٠ 20
The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
فَتَسْأَلِينَ نَفْسَكِ:’مَنْ أَنْجَبَ لِي هَؤُلاءِ وَأَنَا ثَكْلَى وَعَاقِرٌ، مَنْفِيَّةٌ وَمَنْبُوذَةٌ؟ مَنْ رَبَّى لِي هَؤُلاءِ؟ فَقَدْ تُرِكْتُ وَحْدِي، أَمَّا هَؤُلاءِ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءُوا؟‘» ٢١ 21
Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَرْفَعُ يَدِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ وَأَنْصِبُ رَايَتِي إِلَى الشُّعُوبِ، فَيَحْمِلُونَ أَبْنَاءَكِ فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ وَبَنَاتِكِ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ. ٢٢ 22
Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
يَكُونُ لَكِ الْمُلُوكُ آبَاءَ مُرَبِّينَ، وَمَلِكَاتُهُمْ مُرْضِعَاتٍ، يَنْحَنُونَ أَمَامَكِ بِوُجُوهٍ مُطْرِقَةٍ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَيَلْحَسُونَ تُرَابَ قَدَمَيْكِ. عِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْرِكِينَ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَيَّ لَا يَخْزَى». ٢٣ 23
Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
هَلْ تُسْلَبُ الْغَنِيمَةُ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِ الْجَبَّارِ؟ أَوْ يُفْلِتُ الأَسْرَى مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْغَالِبِ؟ ٢٤ 24
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
«نَعَمْ سَبْيُ الْجَبَّارِ يُسْلَبُ مِنْهُ، وَتُسْتَرَدُّ الْغَنِيمَةُ مِنَ الْغَالِبِ، لأَنَّنِي أُخَاصِمُ مُخَاصِمِيكِ وَأُنْقِذُ أَبْنَاءَكِ، ٢٥ 25
But thus says the LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
وَأَجْعَلُ مُضْطَهِدِيكِ يَلْتَهِمُونَ لُحُومَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ، وَيَسْكَرُونَ بِدَمِهِمْ كَمَنْ يَشْرَبُ خَمْراً. عِنْدَئِذٍ يُدْرِكُ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُكِ وَفَادِيكِ إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرُ». ٢٦ 26
I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
