إشَعْياء 51

١ 1 اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا مُلْتَمِسِي الْبِرِّ، السَّاعِينَ وَرَاءَ الرَّبِّ: تَلَفَّتُوا إِلَى الصَّخْرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ نُحِتُّمْ، وَإِلَى الْمَحْجَرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ اقْتُلِعْتُمْ.

Hearken to me, ye that pursue righteousness. Ye that seek Jehovah! Look to the rock whence ye were hewn, To the pit-quarry whence ye were digged!

٢ 2 انْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ وَإِلَى سَارَةَ الَّتِي أَنْجَبَتْكُمْ، فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُهُ حِينَ كَانَ فَرْداً وَاحِداً وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah that bore you! For I called him when only one, And blessed him, and multiplied him.

٣ 3 الرَّبُّ يُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ وَيُعَزِّي خَرَائِبَهَا، وَيُحَوِّلُ قَفْرَهَا إِلَى عَدْنٍ وَصَحْرَاءَهَا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ رَائِعَةٍ، فَتَفِيضُ بِالْفَرَحِ وَالْغِبْطَةِ وَالشُّكْرِ وَهُتَافِ تَرْنِيمٍ.

Thus will Jehovah have pity upon Zion; He will have pity upon all her desolations. He will make her wilderness like Eden, Her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found therein; Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

٤ 4 اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا شَعْبِي، وَأَصْغِي إِلَيَّ يَا أُمَّتِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ تَصْدُرُ مِنِّي، وَعَدْلِي يُصْبِحُ نُوراً لِلشُّعُوبِ.

Hearken to me, O my people! And give ear to me, O my nation! For a law shall proceed from me, And I will establish my statutes for the light of the nations.

٥ 5 بِرِّي بَاتَ قَرِيباً، وَتَجَلَّى خَلاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ تَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ، وَإِيَّايَ تَرْتَقِبُ الْجَزَائِرُ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ بِرَجَاءٍ ذِرَاعِي.

My help is near; my salvation goeth forth; My arm shall judge the nations; Distant lands shall wait for me, And in my arm shall they trust.

٦ 6 ارْفَعُوا عُيُونَكُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَفَرَّسُوا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، فَإِنَّ السَمَاوَاتِ كَدُخَانٍ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَالأَرْضَ كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، وَيَبِيدُ سُكَّانُهَا كَالذُّبَابِ. أَمَّا خَلاصِي فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وِبِرِّي يَثْبُتُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look down upon the earth beneath! For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, And the earth shall decay like a garment, And its inhabitants shall perish like flies. But my salvation shall endure forever, And my goodness shall not decay.

٧ 7 اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيَّ يَا عَارِفِي الْبِرِّ، أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. لَا تَخْشَوْا تَعْيِيرَ النَّاسِ وَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا مِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ،

Hearken to me, ye that know righteousness, The people in whose heart is my law! Fear ye not the reproach of men, Nor be disheartened by their revilings!

٨ 8 لأَنَّ الْعُثَّ يَأْكُلُهُمْ كَثَوْبٍ، وَيَقْرِضُهُمُ السُّوسُ كَالصُّوفِ، أَمَّا بِرِّي فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَخَلاصِي يَثْبُتُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

For the moth shall consume them like a garment, And the worm shall eat them like wool. But my goodness shall endure forever, And my salvation from generation to generation.

٩ 9 اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي، تَسَرْبَلِي بِالْقُوَّةِ يَا ذِرَاعَ الرَّبِّ، اسْتَيْقِظِي كَالْعَهْدِ بِكِ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، وَفِي الأَجْيَالِ الْغَابِرَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي مَزَّقْتِ رَهَبَ إِرْباً إِرْباً، وَطَعَنْتِ التِّنِّينَ؟

Awake! awake! clothe thyself with strength, O arm of Jehovah! Awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old!

١٠ 10 أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي جَفَّفْتِ الْبَحْرَ، وَمِيَاهَ اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ، وَجَعَلْتِ أَعْمَاقَ الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقاً يَعْبُرُ فَوْقَهُ الْمَفْدِيُّونَ؟

Art thou not the same that smote Rahab, And wounded the dragon? Art thou not the same that dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep, —That made the depths of the sea a path for the redeemed to pass through?

١١ 11 سَيَرْجِعُ الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِتَرَنُّمٍ، يُكَلِّلُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ، فَتَطْغَى عَلَيْهِمْ بَهْجَةٌ وَغِبْطَةٌ، أَمَّا الْحُزْنُ وَالتَّنَهُّدُ فَيَهْرُبَانِ بَعِيداً.

Thus shall the ransomed of Jehovah return; They shall come to Zion with singing; Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

١٢ 12 أَنَا، أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ، فَمَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخْشَيْ إِنْسَاناً فَانِياً أَوْ بَشَراً يَبِيدُونَ كَالْعُشْبِ؟

I, even I, am he that hath pity upon you; Who art thou, that thou art afraid of man, that shall die, Of the son of man, that shall perish like grass,

١٣ 13 وَنَسِيتِ الرَّبَّ صَانِعَكِ، بَاسِطَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُرْسِي قَوَاعِدِ الأَرْضِ فَتَظَلِّينَ فِي رُعْبٍ دَائِمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ الْمُضَايِقِ حِينَ يُوَطِّدُ الْعَزْمَ عَلَى التَّدْمِيرِ؟ أَيْنَ هُوَ غَضَبُ الْمُضَايِقِ؟

And forgettest Jehovah thy maker, That stretched out the heavens, And founded the earth, And fearest continually every day, On account of the fury of the oppressor, As if he were taking aim to destroy thee? Where now is the fury of the oppressor?

١٤ 14 عَمَّا قَرِيبٍ يُطْلَقُ سَرَاحُ الْمُنْحَنِي فَلا يَمُوتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ وَلا يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى الْخُبْزِ.

Soon shall the enchained be loosed; He shall not die in the pit, Nor shall his bread fail.

١٥ 15 لأَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ الَّذِي يُهَيِّجُ الْبَحْرَ فَتَصْطَخِبُ أَمْوَاجُهُ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ.

For I am Jehovah thy God, That rebuketh the sea when his waves roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name.

١٦ 16 قَدْ وَضَعْتُ كَلامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَوَارَيْتُكَ فِي ظِلِّ يَدِي، لأُقِرَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ فِي مَوْضِعِهَا وَأُرْسِي قَوَاعِدَ الأَرْضِ، وَأَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي.

I have put my words into thy mouth, And have covered thee with the shadow of my hand, To establish the heavens, and to found the earth. And to say to Zion, “Thou art my people!”

١٧ 17 اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي، انْهَضِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا مَنْ تَجَرَّعَتْ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، يَا مَنْ شَرِبَتْ ثُمَالَةَ كَأْسِ التَّرَنُّحِ.

Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem! Thou that hast drunk from the hand of Jehovah the cup of his fury, Thou that hast drunk to the dregs the cup of giddiness!

١٨ 18 لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ أَبْنَائِهَا الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مَنْ يَهْدِيهَا، وَلا مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الْبَنِينَ الَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

There is not one to lead her, of all the sons which she hath brought forth, Nor is there one to take her by the hand, of all the sons which she hath nurtured.

١٩ 19 لَقَدِ ابْتُلِيتِ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْمِحْنَتَيْنِ، فَمَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ: التَّدْمِيرِ وَالْخَرَابِ، وَالْمَجَاعَةِ وَالسَّيْفِ، فَمَنْ يُعَزِّيكِ؟

These two things have come upon thee, And who bemoaneth thee? Desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword; How shall I comfort thee?

٢٠ 20 قَدْ أَعْيَا أَبْنَاؤُكِ وَانْطَرَحُوا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ كُلِّ شَارِعٍ كَوَعْلٍ وَقَعَ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. امْتَلَأُوا مِنْ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ زَجْرِ إِلَهِكِ.

Thy sons have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, Like a deer in the net; They are full of the wrath of Jehovah, Of the rebuke of thy God.

٢١ 21 لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا الْمَنْكُوبَةُ، وَالسَّكْرَى وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَمْرٍ.

Therefore, hear this, thou afflicted, Thou drunken, and not with wine!

٢٢ 22 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ سَيِّدُكِ الرَّبُّ، إِلَهُكِ الَّذِي يُدَافِعُ عَنْ دَعْوَى شَعْبِهِ: هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ التَّرَنُّحِ، وَلَنْ تَجْرَعِي مِنْ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي بَعْدُ.

Thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, And thy God, that defendeth the cause of his people. Behold, I will take from thy hand the cup of giddiness, The cup of my wrath; Thou shalt drink no more of it.

٢٣ 23 وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا لَكِ: انْحَنِي حَتَّى نَدُوسَ عَلَيْكِ عَابِرِينَ. فَجَعَلْتِ ظَهْرَكِ لَهُمْ أَرْضاً، وَطَرِيقاً لَهُمْ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِ.

And I will put it into the hand of them that have afflicted thee; That have said to thee, “Bow down, that we may pass over!” And thou madest thy body as the ground, And as the street, to them that passed over.
