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 dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching 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 art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

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 there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

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

For the day of vengeance was in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is 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: therefore 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 trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

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

I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us; and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

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

For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was 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 bare 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: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself 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؟

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], 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 in the midst of them?

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

that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

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

that led them through the depths, as an horse in the wilderness, that they stumbled not?

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

As the cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the LORD caused them to 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 heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy bowels and thy compassions are 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 knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O LORD, 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.

O LORD, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest 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 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 are become as they over whom thou never barest rule; as they that were not called by thy name.
