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 is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgment.

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

Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?

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 am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.

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

For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.

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 no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew near.

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

And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.

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

I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.

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

And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance

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

out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.

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

But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended 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؟

Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?

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

who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.

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

He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,

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

and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.

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

Turn from heaven, and look from your holy habitation and [from] your glory: where is your zeal and your strength? where is the abundance of your mercy and of your compassions, that you have withholden yourself from us?

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

For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.

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

Why have you caused us to err, O Lord, from your way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear you? Return for your servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of your inheritance,

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

that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.

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

We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
