إشَعْياء 55

١ 1 تَعَالَوْا أَيُّهَا الْعِطَاشُ جَمِيعاً إِلَى الْمِيَاهِ، وَهَلُمُّوا أَيُّهَا الْمُعْدَمُونَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، ابْتَاعُوا وَكُلُوا، ابْتَاعُوا خَمْراً وَلَبَناً مَجَّاناً مِنْ غَيْرِ فِضَّةٍ.

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

٢ 2 لِمَاذَا تُنْفِقُونَ الْفِضَّةَ عَلَى مَا لَيْسَ بِخُبْزٍ، وَتَتْعَبُونَ لِغَيْرِ شَبَعٍ؟ أَحْسِنُوا الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيَّ، وَكُلُوا الشَّهِيَّ وَلْتَتَمَتَّعْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ بِالدَّسَمِ.

Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

٣ 3 أَرْهِفُوا السَّمْعَ وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ؛ أَصْغُوا فَتَحْيَا نُفُوسُكُمْ، وَأُعَاهِدَكُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا، هِيَ مَرَاحِمُ دَاوُدَ الثَّابِتَةُ الأَمِينَةُ

Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

٤ 4 هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ شَاهِداً لِلشُّعُوبِ زَعِيماً وَقَائِداً لِلأُمَمِ.

Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

٥ 5 انْظُرْ، إِنَّكَ تَدْعُو أُمَماً لَا تَعْرِفُهَا، وَتَسْعَى إِلَيْكَ أُمَمٌ لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، بِفَضْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَجَّدَكَ.

Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run to thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

٦ 6 اطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ مَادَامَ مَوْجُوداً، ادْعُوهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

٧ 7 لِيَتْرُكِ الشِّرِّيرُ طَرِيقَهُ وَالأَثِيمُ أَفْكَارَهُ، وَلْيَتُبْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَرْحَمَهُ، وَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى إِلَهِنَا لأَنَّهُ يُكْثِرُ الْغُفْرَانَ.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

٨ 8 لأَنَّ أَفْكَارِي لَيْسَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لأَفْكَارِكُمْ، وَلا طُرُقَكُمْ مِثْلُ طُرُقِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

٩ 9 فَكَمَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، كَذَلِكَ ارْتَفَعَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ أَفْكَارِكُمْ.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

١٠ 10 وَكَمَا تَهْطِلُ الأَمْطَارُ وَيَنْهَمِرُ الثَّلْجُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَلا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، بَلْ تُرْوِي الْحُقُولَ وَالأَشْجَارَ، وَتَجْعَلُ الْبُذُورَ تُنْبِتُ وَتَنْمُو وَتُثْمِرُ زَرْعاً لِلزَّارِعِ وَخُبْزاً لِلْجِيَاعِ،

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not there, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

١١ 11 هَكَذَا تَكُونُ كَلِمَتِي الَّتِي تَصْدُرُ عَنِّي مُثْمِرَةً دَائِماً، وَتُحَقِّقُ مَا أَرْغَبُ فِيهِ وَتُفْلِحُ بِمَا أَعْهَدُ بِهِ إِلَيْهَا.

So shall my word be that proceedeth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

١٢ 12 لأَنَّكُمْ سَتَتْرُكُونَ بَابِلَ بِفَرَحٍ وَسَلامٍ فَتَتَرَنَّمُ الْجِبَالُ وَالتِّلالُ أَمَامَكُمْ بَهْجَةً وَتُصَفِّقُ أَشْجَارُ الْحَقْلِ بِأَيْدِيهَا غِبْطَةً،

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

١٣ 13 وَحَيْثُ كَانَ الشَّوْكُ وَالْقُرَّاصُ، تَنْمُو أَشْجَارُ السَّرْوِ وَالآسِ: فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ تَخْلِيداً لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَعَلامَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لَا تُمْحَى.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
