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 thy 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.

Why have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? why have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye 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, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye 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? wilt thou 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 ye 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 thy bread to the hungry, and that thou shouldest bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou shouldest cover him; and that thou shouldest not hide thyself from thy own flesh?

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

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

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

Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou shalt take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth 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 thou shalt draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:

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 thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt 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 thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt 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 thou shalt turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thy own ways, nor finding thy own pleasure, nor speaking thy own words:

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

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
