إشَعْياء 58

١ 1 نَادِ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِكَ، لَا تَصْمُتْ. اهْتُفْ بِصَوْتِكَ كَنَفِيرِ بُوقٍ، وَأَخْبِرْ شَعْبِي بِإِثْمِهِمْ، وَذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

٢ 2 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَلْتَمِسُونَنِي يَوْمِيًّا، وَيُسَرُّونَ بِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِي وَكَأَنَّهُمْ أُمَّةٌ تَصْنَعُ بِرّاً، وَكَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُهْمِلُوا أَحْكَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ، يَطْلُبُونَ مِنِّي أَحْكَامَ بِرٍّ، وَيَغْتَبِطُونَ بِالتَّقَرُّبِ مِنَ اللهِ.

Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

٣ 3 وَيَسْأَلُونَ: مَا بَالُنَا صُمْنَا وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُلاحِظْ، وَتَذَلَّلْنَا وَلَمْ تَحْفِلْ بِذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّكُمْ فِي يَوْمِ صَوْمِكُمْ تَلْتَمِسُونَ مَسَرَّةَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَتُسَخِّرُونَ جَمِيعَ عُمَّالِكُمْ.

Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and you see not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast all of you find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

٤ 4 وَهَا أَنْتُمْ تَصُومُونَ لِكَيْ تَتَخَاصَمُوا وَتَتَشَاجَرُوا فَقَطْ، وَتَتَضَارَبُوا بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَثِيمَةٍ. إِنَّ مِثْلَ صَوْمِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ لَا يَجْعَلُ أَصْوَاتَكُمْ مَسْمُوعَةً فِي الْعَلاءِ.

Behold, all of you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: all of you shall not fast as all of you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

٥ 5 أَيَكُونُ الصَّوْمُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ فِي إِذْلالِ الْمَرْءِ نَفْسَهُ يَوْماً، أَوْ فِي إِحْنَاءِ رَأْسِهِ كَالْقَصَبَةِ، أَوِ افْتِرَاشِ الْمِسْحِ وَالرَّمَادِ؟ أَتَدْعُو هَذَا صَوْماً مَقْبُولاً لَدَى الرَّبِّ؟

Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

٦ 6 أَلَيْسَ الصَّوْمُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ يَكُونُ فِي فَكِّ قُيُودِ الشَّرِّ، وَحَلِّ عُقَدِ النِّيرِ، وَإِطْلاقِ سَرَاحِ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ، وَتَحْطِيمِ كُلِّ نِيرٍ؟

Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that all of you break every yoke?

٧ 7 أَلا يَكُونُ فِي مُشَاطَرَةِ خُبْزِكَ مَعَ الْجَائِعِ، وَإِيْوَاءِ الْفَقِيرِ الْمُتَشَرِّدِ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَكُسْوَةِ الْعُرْيَانِ الَّذِي تَلْتَقِيهِ، وَعَدَمِ التَّغَاضِي عَنْ قَرِيبِكَ الْبَائِسِ؟

Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?

٨ 8 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَشِعُّ نُورُكَ كَالصَّبَاحِ، وَتُزْهِرُ عَافِيَتُكَ سَرِيعاً، وَيَتَقَدَّمُكَ بِرُّكَ، وَيَحْرُسُ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مُؤَخَّرَةَ سَاقَتِكَ.

Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

٩ 9 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَدْعُو فَيَسْتَجِيبُ الرَّبُّ. تَسْتَغِيثُ فَيَقُولُ هَا أَنَا. إِنْ أَزَلْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِ بَيْتِكَ النِّيرَ، وَالإِيمَاءَ بِالأُصْبُعِ احْتِقَاراً، وَالنُّطْقَ بِالشَّرِّ،

Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting out of the finger, and speaking vanity;

١٠ 10 إِن بَذَلْتَ نَفْسَكَ لِلْجَائِعِ، وَأَشْبَعْتَ حَاجَةَ الذَّلِيلِ، فَإِنَّ نُورَكَ يُشْرِقُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ، وَلَيْلَكَ الدَّامِسَ يُصْبِحُ كَالظُّهْرِ،

And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:

١١ 11 وَيَهْدِيكَ الرَّبُّ دَائِماً وَيَسُدُّ حَاجَتَكَ حَتَّى فِي زَمَنِ الْقَحْطِ وَالأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ، فَيُقَوِّي عِظَامَكَ فَتُصْبِحُ كَرَوْضَةٍ مَرْوِيَّةٍ، وَكَجَدْوَلِ مَاءٍ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ،

And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

١٢ 12 وَيَبْنِي أَوْلادُكَ الْخَرَائِبَ الْقَدِيمَةَ وَيُقِيمُونَ أَسَاسَاتِهَا، وَيُسَمُّونَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي بَنَى أَسْوَارَهُ وَرَمَّمَ أَحْيَاءَ مُدُنِهِ.

And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

١٣ 13 إِنْ كَفَفْتَ قَدَمَكَ عَنْ نَقْضِ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ، وَعَنِ السَّعْيِ وَرَاءَ مَرَامِكَ فِي يَوْمِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَدَعَوْتَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ يَوْمَ مَسَرَّةٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَجَعَلْتَهُ يَوْماً مُكَرَّماً لِلهِ. إِنْ أَكْرَمْتَهُ وَلَمْ تَسْلُكْ حَسَبَ أَهْوَائِكَ أَوْ تَلْتَمِسْ قَضَاءَ مَصَالِحِكَ، أَوْ تُنْفِقْهُ فِي لَغْوِ الْكَلامِ،

If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shall honour him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:

١٤ 14 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْتَهِجُ بِالرَّبِّ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ تَمْتَطِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِ الأَرْضِ، وَأُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِمِيرَاثِ يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيكَ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ.

Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
