إشَعْياء 56
| هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَجْرُوا الْحَقَّ، وَاصْنَعُوا الْعَدْلَ، لأَنَّ خَلاصِي بَاتَ وَشِيكاً وَبِرِّي حَانَ أَنْ يُسْتَعْلَنَ. | ١ 1 |
Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
| طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُمَارِسُ هَذِهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِها وَيُكَرِّمُ سُبُوتِي؛ وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ يَصُونُ يَدَهُ عَنِ ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ. | ٢ 2 |
I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is evil.
| لَا يَقُلِ ابْنُ الْغَرِيبِ الْمُنْضَمُّ إِلَى الرَّبِّ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَفْصِلُنِي عَنْ شَعْبِهِ. وَلا يَقُولَنَّ الْخَصِيُّ: أَنَا شَجَرَةٌ يَابِسَةٌ. | ٣ 3 |
And foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ لِلْخِصْيَانِ الَّذِينَ يُحَافِظُونَ عَلَى سُبُوتِي، وَيَخْتَارُونَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهْدِي: | ٤ 4 |
They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
| أَهَبُهُمْ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِي وَأَسْوَارِي نَصِيباً وَاسْماً أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْبَنِينَ وَالْبَنَاتِ. أُعْطِيهِمِ اسْماً مُخَلَّداً لَا يَنْقَرِضُ. | ٥ 5 |
I will cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
| وَأَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُنْضَمُّونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ وَيُحِبُّوا اسْمَهُ لِيَكُونُوا لَهُ عَبِيداً، فَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى السَّبْتِ مِنْهُمْ وَلا يَنْقُضُهُ، وَيَتَمَسَّكُ بِعَهْدِي، | ٦ 6 |
I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
| فَهَؤُلاءِ آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ وَأَفِيضُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْفَرَحَ فِي بَيْتِ صَلاتِي، وَتَكُونُ مُحْرَقَاتُهُمْ وَقَرَابِينُهُمْ مَقْبُولَةً عَلَى مَذْبَحِي، لأَنَّ بَيْتِي سَيُدْعَى بَيْتَ الصَّلاةِ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ. | ٧ 7 |
I will bring them to my sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
| وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يَلُمُّ شَتَاتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَأَجْمَعُ إِلَيْهِ آخَرِينَ بَعْدُ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الَّذِينَ جَمَعْتُهُمْ. | ٨ 8 |
[I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
| تَعَالَيْ يَا جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الصَّحْرَاءِ لِلالْتِهَامِ، وَيَا جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الْغَابِ أَيْضاً. | ٩ 9 |
“You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
| فَإِنَّ رُقَبَاءَهُمْ عُمْيٌ، وَكُلَّهُمْ جُهَّالٌ، وَكِلابٌ بُكْمٌ عَاجِزُونَ عَنِ النِّبَاحِ، حَالِمُونَ رَاقِدُونَ مُوْلَعُونَ بِالنَّوْمِ. | ١٠ 10 |
The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
| هُمْ كِلابٌ نَهِمَةٌ لَا تَعْرِفُ الشَّبَعَ، وَرُعَاةٌ أَيْضاً مُجَرَّدُونَ مِنَ الْفَهْمِ، كُلٌّ مَالَ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِ طَمَعاً فِي الرِّبْحِ، | ١١ 11 |
[And they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
| قَائِلِينَ: تَعَالَوْا نَأْتِي بِالْخَمْرِ، وَنَشْرَبُ مُسْكِراً حَتَّى الثُّمَالَةِ، فَالْغَدُ يَكُونُ مُمَاثِلاً لِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ، بَلْ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
