إشَعْياء 65

١ 1 «قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُ ذَاتِي لِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي، وَوَجَدَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْنِي، وَقُلْتُ:’هَأَنَذَا‘لأُمَّةٍ لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِي.

“I am enquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.

٢ 2 بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ صَالِحٍ، تَابِعِينَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ،

I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

٣ 3 شَعْبٍ يُثَابِرُ عَلَى إِغَاظَتِي فِي وَجْهِي، إِذْ يُقَرِّبُ ذَبَائِحَ لأَصْنَامِهِ فِي الْحَدَائِقِ وَيُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً فَوْقَ مَذَابِحِ الطُّوبِ.

a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;

٤ 4 يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ الْمَقَابِرِ وَيَبِيتُ اللَّيْلَ فِي أَمَاكِنَ سِرِّيَّةٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَفِي أَوَانِيهِ مَرَقُ لُحُومٍ نَجِسَةٍ.

who sit amongst the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

٥ 5 وَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمْ لِلآخَرِ:’لَا تَقْتَرِبْ مِنِّي لِئَلَّا تُدَنِّسَنِي، لأَنِّي أَقْدَسُ مِنْكَ‘(فَيُثِيرُونَ غَيْظِي) كَدُخَانٍ فِي أَنْفِي وَنَارٍ تَتَّقِدُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.

٦ 6 انْظُرُوا قَدْ كُتِبَ أَمَامِي: لَنْ أَصْمُتَ بَلْ أُجَازِي، وَأُلْقِي فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ

“Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom

٧ 7 خَطَايَاهُمْ وَخَطَايَا آبَائِهِمْ مَعاً». يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ «لأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَأَهَانُونِي عَلَى الآكَامِ، فَإِنِّي أَكِيلُ أَعْمَالَهُمُ الأُولَى وَأَطْرَحُهَا فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ».

your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD, “who have burnt incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا أَنَّ (الكَرَّامَ) لَا يَطْرَحُ العُنْقُودَ الفَاسِدَ إِذْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّ فِي عِنَبِهِ بَعْضَ الْخَمْرِ الطَيِّبِ، كَذَلِكَ لَنْ أَطْرَحَ مِنْ أَمَامِي كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِئَلَّا أَقْضِيَ عَلَى خُدَّامِي جَمِيعاً.

The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.

٩ 9 بَلْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِ يَعْقُوبَ ذُرِّيَّةً، وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا وَارِثاً لِجِبَالِي، فَيَمْلِكُهَا مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُقِيمُ فِيهَا عَبِيدِي،

I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.

١٠ 10 وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُ شَارُونَ مَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ، وَوَادِي عَخُورَ مَرْبِضَ بَقَرٍ لِشَعْبِي الَّذِي طَلَبَنِي».

Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.

١١ 11 «أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ نَبَذْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَنَسِيتُمْ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسَ، وَهَيَّأْتُمْ مَذْبَحاً لإِلَهِ’الْحَظِّ‘وَمَلَأْتُمُ الْكُؤُوسَ خَمْراً مَمْزُوجَةً لإِلَهِ’الْقَدَرِ‘،

“But you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;

١٢ 12 فَأجْعَلُ مَصِيرَكُمُ الْهَلاكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتَسْجُدُونَ جَمِيعاً لِذَابِحِيكُمْ لأَنَّنِي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَارْتَكَبْتُمُ الشَّرَّ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنِّي وَاخْتَرْتُمْ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ».

I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا عَبِيدِي يَأْكُلُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجُوعُونَ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَظْمَأُونَ، وَيَفْرَحُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَخْزَوْنَ،

Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.

١٤ 14 وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ فِي غِبْطَةِ الْقَلْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ تُعْوِلُونَ مِنْ أَسَى الْقَلْبِ، وَتُوَلْوِلُونَ مِنِ انْكِسَارِ الرُّوحِ،

Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.

١٥ 15 وَتُخْلِفُونَ اسْمَكُمْ لَعْنَةً عَلَى شِفَاهِ مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُمِيتُكُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُطْلِقُ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ اسْماً آخَرَ.

You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,

١٦ 16 فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، وَمَنْ يُقْسِمُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُقْسِمُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَاتِ الأُولَى قَدْ نُسِيَتْ وَاحْتَجَبَتْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ.

so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.

١٧ 17 لأَنَّنِي هَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ سَمَاوَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ الأُولَى فَلا تَعُودُ تَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالٍ

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.

١٨ 18 إِنَّمَا افْرَحُوا وَابْتَهِجُوا إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِمَا أَنَا خَالِقُهُ، فَهَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَهْجَةً، وَشَعْبَهَا فَرَحاً.

But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.

١٩ 19 وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَغْتَبِطُ بِشَعْبِي، وَلا يَعُودُ يُسْمَعُ فِيهَا صَوْتُ بُكَاءٍ أَوْ نَحِيبٍ،

I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.

٢٠ 20 وَلا يَكُونُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ طِفْلٌ لَا يَعِيشُ سِوَى أَيَّامٍ قَلائِلَ، أَوْ شَيْخٌ لَا يَسْتَوْفِي أَيَّامَهُ. وَمَنْ يَمُوتُ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ يُعْتَبَرُ فَتىً، وَمَنْ لَا يَبْلُغُهَا يَكُونُ مَلْعُوناً.

“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.

٢١ 21 يَغْرِسُ النَّاسُ كُرُومَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَ ثِمَارَهَا، وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَيُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا،

They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

٢٢ 22 لَا يَبْنُونَ لِيَأْتِيَ آخَرُ فَيَسْكُنَ فِيهَا، وَلا يَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً لِيَجْنِيَهَا آخَرُ، لأَنَّ أَيَّامَ شَعْبِي تَكُونُ مَدِيدَةً كَأَيَّامِ الشَّجَرِ، وَيَتَمَتَّعُ مُخْتَارِيَّ بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.

٢٣ 23 فَهُمْ لَنْ يَتْعَبُوا بَاطِلاً وَلا تُنْجِبُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ ذُرِّيَّةَ مُبَارَكِي الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَبَارَكُ أَوْلادُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ.

They will not labour in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants with them.

٢٤ 24 وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوا أَسْتَجِيبُ، وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أُنْصِتُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

٢٥ 25 وَيَرْعَى الذِّئْبُ وَالْحَمَلُ مَعاً، وَيَأْكُلُ الأَسَدُ التِّبْنَ كَالْبَقَرِ، وَتَأْكُلُ الْحَيَّةُ التُّرَابَ. لَا يُؤْذُونَ وَلا يُهْلِكُونَ فِي كُلِّ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
