إشَعْياء 63

١ 1 مَنْ هَذَا الْمُقْبِلُ مِنْ أَدُومَ، بِثِيَابٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ بُصْرَةَ؛ هَذَا الْمُتَسَرْبِلُ بِالْبَهَاءِ. السَّائِرُ بِخُيَلاءِ قُوَّتِهِ؟ إِنَّهُ أَنَا الرَّبُّ النَّاطِقُ بِالْبِرِّ، الْعَظِيمُ لِلْخَلاصِ.

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? — I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

٢ 2 مَا بَالُ رِدَائِكَ أَحْمَرُ وَثِيَابِكَ كَمَنْ دَاسَ عِنَبَ الْمِعْصَرَةِ؟

— Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

٣ 3 لَقَدْ دُسْتُ الْمِعْصَرَةَ وَحْدِي، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعِي أَحَدٌ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ. قَدْ دُسْتُهُمْ فِي سَخَطِي وَوَطِئْتُهُمْ فِي غَيْظِي، فَتَنَاثَرَ دَمُهُمْ عَلَى رِدَائِي وَلَطَخْتُ ثِيَابِي.

I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.

٤ 4 لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الانْتِقَامِ كَانَ كَامِناً فِي قَلْبِي، وَسَنَةَ مَفْدِيِّيَّ قَدْ أَتَتْ.

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.

٥ 5 تَلَفَّتُّ فَلَمْ أَعْثُرْ عَلَى مُعِينٍ، وَعَجِبْتُ إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ نَاصِرٍ، فَانْتَصَرْتُ بِقُوَّةِ ذِرَاعِي، وَتَأَيَّدْتُ بِنَجْدَةِ سَخَطِي،

And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

٦ 6 فَدُسْتُ الشُّعُوبَ فِي غَيْظِي، وَأَسْكَرْتُهُمْ فِي غَضَبِي، وَسَكَبْتُ دِمَاءَهُمْ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ.

And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.

٧ 7 أَلْهَجُ بِرَأْفَاتِ الرَّبِّ وَتَسَابِيحِهِ وَإحْسَانَاتِهِ الَّتِي أَغْدَقَهَا عَلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِفَضْلِ خَيْرِهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ.

I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.

٨ 8 لأَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ حَقّاً شَعْبِي وَأَبْنَاءُ أَوْفِيَاءُ، لَنْ يَعُودُوا لِلْبَاطِلِ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ.

And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.

٩ 9 تَضَايَقَ فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَاتِهِمْ، وَمَلاكُ حَضْرَتِهِ أَنْقَذَهُمْ، وَبِفَضْلِ مَحَبَّتِهِ وَحَنَانِهِ افْتَدَاهُمْ وَرَفَعَهُمْ وَحَمَلَهُمْ طَوَالَ الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old.

١٠ 10 لَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا وَأَحْزَنُوا رُوحَهُ فَاسْتَحَالَ إِلَى عَدُوٍّ لَهُمْ وَحَارَبَهُمْ بِنَفْسِهِ.

But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.

١١ 11 ثُمَّ تَذَكَّرُوا الأَيَّامَ الْقَدِيمَةَ، أَيَّامَ مُوسَى عَبْدِهِ وَتَسَاءَلُوا: أَيْنَ مَنْ أَصْعَدَنَا مِنَ الْبَحْرِ مَعَ رَاعِي قَطِيعِهِ؟ أَيْنَ مَنْ أَقَامَ رُوحَهُ الْقُدُّوسَ فِي وَسَطِنَا؟

But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,

١٢ 12 مَنْ جَعَلَ ذِرَاعَ قُوَّتِهِ الْمَجِيدَةِ تَسِيرُ إِلَى يَمِينِ مُوسَى؟ مَنْ شَقَّ مِيَاهَ الْبَحْرِ أَمَامَنَا لِيَكْتَسِبَ اسْماً أَبَدِيًّا؟

his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,

١٣ 13 مَنِ اقْتَادَنَا فِي اللُّجَجِ؟ فَسِرْنَا كَفَرَسٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ نَعْثُرَ؟

— who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?

١٤ 14 كَقَطِيعٍ مُنْحَدِرٍ إِلَى وَادٍ، أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ بِالرَّاحَةِ، هَكَذَا هَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ لِتَصْنَعَ لِنَفْسِكَ اسْماً مَجِيداً.

As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

١٥ 15 تَطَلَّعْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَانْظُرْ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالْمَجِيدِ. أَيْنَ غَيْرَتُكَ وَاقْتِدَارُكَ؟ قَدِ امْتَنَعَ عَنِّي لَهِيبُ أَشْوَاقِكَ وَإِحْسَانَاتِكَ.

Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?

١٦ 16 فَأَنْتَ هُوَ أَبُونَا، مَعَ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَا يَعْرِفُنَا، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَعْتَرِفُ بِنَا، فَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، هُوَ أَبُونَا، وَاسْمُكَ فَادِينَا مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ.

For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.

١٧ 17 لِمَاذَا يَا رَبُّ تَرَكْتَنَا نَضِلُّ عَنْ طُرُقِكَ وَقَسَّيْتَ قُلُوبَنَا حَتَّى لَمْ نَعُدْ نَتَّقِيكَ؟ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ عَبِيدِكَ، أَسْبَاطِ مِيرَاثِكَ.

Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

١٨ 18 قَدْ دَاسَ أَعْدَاؤُنَا هَيْكَلَكَ الَّذِي امْتَلَكَهُ شَعْبُكَ الْمُقَدَّسُ زَمَناً يَسِيراً،

Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

١٩ 19 وَأَصْبَحْنَا نَظِيرَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ تَتَسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِمْ قَطُّ وَلَمْ يُدْعَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاسْمِكَ.

We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
