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, traveling 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؟

Why [art thou] red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat.

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 wine-press alone; and of the people [there was] none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

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

For the day of vengeance [is] in my 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 my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me.

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

And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

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

I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on 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.

For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Savior.

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 vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] 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؟

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd 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؟

That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing 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 deep, as a horse in the wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?

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

As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him 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 strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained?

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

Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our Redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting.

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 hast thou made us to err from thy ways, [and] hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thy inheritance.

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

The people of thy holiness 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 are [thine]: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
