إشَعْياء 1
| هَذِهِ هِيَ رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، الَّتِي أُعْلِنَتْ لَهُ بِشَأْنِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ كُلٍّ مِنْ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحِزْقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ 1 |
The vision of Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah [Praised] and Jerusalem [City of peace], in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah [Praised].
| اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ: «رَبَّيْتُ أَبْنَاءَ وَأَنْشَأْتُهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ. | ٢ 2 |
Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, heavens, and listen, earth; for Adonai has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
| الثَّوْرُ يَعْرِفُ قَانِيَهُ، وَالْحِمَارُ مَعْلِفَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَلا يَعْرِفُ، وَشَعْبِي لَا يُدْرِكُ. | ٣ 3 |
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel [God prevails] does not know, my people don’t consider.”
| وَيْلٌ لِلأُمَّةِ الْخَاطِئَةِ، الشَّعْبِ الْمُثَقَّلِ بِالإِثْمِ، ذُرِّيَّةِ مُرْتَكِبِي الشَّرِّ، أَبْنَاءِ الْفَسَادِ. لَقَدْ تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَدَارُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ. | ٤ 4 |
Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Adonai. They have despised the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails]. They are estranged and backward.
| عَلَى أَيِّ مَوْضِعٍ أَضْرِبُكُمْ بَعْدُ؟ لِمَاذَا تُوَاظِبُونَ عَلَى التَّمَرُّدِ؟ إِنَّ الرَّأْسَ بِجُمْلَتِهِ سَقِيمٌ وَالْقَلْبَ بِكَامِلِهِ مَرِيضٌ. | ٥ 5 |
Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
| مِنْ أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ إِلَى قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ عَافِيَةٌ. كُلُّهُ جُرُوحٌ وَأَحْبَاطٌ وَقُرُوحٌ لَمْ تُنَظَّفْ، وَلَمْ تُضَمَّدْ، وَلَمْ تُلَيَّنْ بِالزَّيْتِ. | ٦ 6 |
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
| عَمَّ الْخَرَابُ بِلادَكُمْ وَالْتَهَمَتِ النَّارُ مُدُنَكُمْ. نَهَبَ الْغُرَبَاءُ حُقُولَكُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ. هِيَ خَرِبَةٌ، عَاثَ فِيهَا الْغُرَبَاءُ فَسَاداً. | ٧ 7 |
Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
| فَأَضْحَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَهْجُورَةً كَمِظَلَّةِ حَارِسٍ فِي كَرْمٍ أَوْ خَيْمَةٍ فِي حَقْلٍ لِلْقَثَاءِ أَوْ كَمَدِينَةٍ مُحَاصَرَةٍ. | ٨ 8 |
The daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
| لَوْلا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ حَفِظَ لَنَا بَقِيَّةً يَسِيرَةً، لأَصْبَحْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ. | ٩ 9 |
Unless Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom [Burning]; we would have been like Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants].
| اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا حُكَّامَ سَدُومَ. أَصْغُوا إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِنَا يَا أَهْلَ عَمُورَةَ: | ١٠ 10 |
Sh'ma ·Hear obey· Adonai’s word, you rulers of Sodom [Burning]! Listen to the Torah ·Teaching· of our God, you people of Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants]!
| مَاذَا تُجْدِينِي كَثْرَةُ ذَبَائِحِكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ؟ اتَّخَمْتُ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ كِبَاشٍ وَشَحْمِ الْمُسَمَّنَاتِ، وَلا أُسَرُّ بِدَمِ عُجُولٍ وَخِرْفَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ. | ١١ 11 |
“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,” says Adonai. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
| حِينَ جِئْتُمْ لِتَمْثُلُوا أَمَامِي، مَنْ طَلَبَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَدُوسُوا دُورِي؟ | ١٢ 12 |
When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
| كُفُّوا عَنْ تَقْدِيمِ قَرَابِينَ بَاطِلَةٍ، فَالْبَخُورُ رِجْسٌ لِي، وَكَذَلِكَ رَأْسُ الشَّهْرِ وَالسَّبْتُ وَالدُّعَاءُ إِلَى الْمَحْفَلِ، فَأَنَا لَا أُطِيقُ الاعْتِكَافَ مَعَ ارْتِكَابِ الإِثْمِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can’t bear with evil assemblies.
| لَشَدَّ مَا تُبْغِضُ نَفْسِي احْتِفَالاتِ رُؤُوسِ شُهُورِكُمْ وَمَوَاسِمَ أَعْيَادِكُمْ! صَارَتْ عَلَيَّ عِبْئاً، وَسَئِمْتُ حَمْلَهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
| عِنْدَمَا تَبْسُطُونَ نَحْوِي أَيْدِيَكُمْ أَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ أَكْثَرْتُمُ الصَّلاةَ لَا أَسْتَجِيبُ، لأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ مَمْلُوءَةٌ دَماً. | ١٥ 15 |
When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not sh'ma ·hear obey·. Your hands are full of blood.
| اغْتَسِلُوا، تَطَهَّرُوا، أَزِيلُوا شَرَّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. كُفُّوا عَنِ اقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ، | ١٦ 16 |
Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
| وَتَعَلَّمُوا الإِحْسَانَ، انْشُدُوا الْحَقَّ، أَنْصِفُوا الْمَظْلُومَ، اقْضُوا لِلْيَتِيمِ، وَدَافِعُوا عَنِ الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Learn to do well. Seek mishpat ·justice·. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the orphan. Plead for the widow.”
| تَعَالَوْا نَتَحَاجَجْ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاكُمْ كَلَطَخَاتٍ قِرْمِزِيَّةٍ فَإِنَّهَا تَبْيَضُّ كَالثَّلْجِ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ حَمْرَاءَ كَصَبْغةِ الدُّودِيِّ تُصْبِحُ فِي نَقَاءِ الصُّوفِ! | ١٨ 18 |
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Adonai: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
| إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَأَطَعْتُمْ تَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِخَيْرَاتِ الأَرْضِ، | ١٩ 19 |
If you are willing and sh'ma ·hearing obedient·, you shall eat the good of the land;
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ فَالسَّيْفُ يَلْتَهِمُكُمْ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Adonai has spoken it.”
| كَيْفَ صَارَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ الأَمِينَةُ عَاهِرَةً؟ كَانَتْ تَفِيضُ حَقّاً، وَيَأْوِي إِلَيْهَا الْعَدْلُ، فَأَصْبَحَتْ وَكْراً لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ. | ٢١ 21 |
How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of mishpat ·justice·; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
| صَارَتْ فِضَّتُكِ مُزَيَّفَةً، وَخَمْرُكِ مَغْشُوشَةً بِمَاءٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
| أَصْبَحَ رُؤَسَاؤُكِ عُصَاةً وَشُرَكَاءَ لُصُوصٍ، يُوْلَعُونَ بِالرِّشْوَةِ وَيَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ الْهِبَاتِ، لَا يُدَافِعُونَ عَنِ الْيَتِيمِ، وَلا تُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِمْ دَعْوَى الأَرْمَلَةِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone 'ahav ·affectionately loves· bribes, and follows after rewards. They don’t judge the orphan, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
| لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، عَزِيزُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَأَسْتَرِيحَنَّ مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَلَأَنْتَقِمَنَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
Therefore the Lord, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], the Mighty One of Israel [God prevails], says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my enemies;
| لَأُعَاقِبَنَّكِ وَأُنَقِّيَنَّكِ مِنْ غِشِّكِ كَمَا تُنَقَّى الْمَعَادِنُ بِالْبَوْرَقِ، وَأُصَفِّيَنَّكِ مِنْ قَصْدِيرِكِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
| وَأُعِيدُ قُضَاتَكِ كَمَا كَانُوا فِي الْحِقَبِ الْغَابِرَةِ، وَمُشِيرِيكِ كَمَا كَانُوا فِي الْعُهُودِ الأُولَى. عِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْعَيْنَ مَدِينَةَ الْعَدْلِ، الْمَدِينَةَ الأَمِينَةَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’
| فَتُفْدَى صِهْيَوْنُ بِالْحَقِّ، وَتَائِبُوهَا بِالْبِرِّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] shall be redeemed with mishpat ·justice·, and her converts with righteousness.
| أَمَّا الْعُصَاةُ وَالْخُطَاةُ فَيَتَحَطَّمُونَ جَمِيعاً، وَيَبِيدُ الَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Adonai shall be consumed.
| وَيَعْتَرِيكُمْ خَجَلٌ لِعِبَادَتِكُمْ شَجَرَةَ الْبَلُّوطِ الَّتِي شُغِفْتُمْ بِها، وَالْعَارُ لإِيثَارِكُمُ الْحَدَائِقَ بِأَوْثَانِهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
| لأَنَّكُمْ تُصْبِحُونَ كَبَلُّوطَةٍ ذَبُلَتْ أَوْرَاقُهَا، أَوْ حَدِيقَةٍ غَاضَ مِنْهَا الْمَاءُ، | ٣٠ 30 |
For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
| فَيَصِيرُ القَوِيُّ كَفَتِيلَةٍ وَأَعْمَالُهُ (الشِّرِّيرَةُ) شَرَارَةً لاهِبَةً فَيَحْتَرِقَانِ مَعاً بِنَارٍ لَا يَقْوَى أَحَدٌ عَلَى إِخْمَادِهَا». | ٣١ 31 |
The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
