< Isaiah 64 >

1 Oh that thou would rend the heavens, that thou would come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,
لَيْتَكَ تَشُقُّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَنْزِلُ! مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ تَتَزَلْزَلُ ٱلْجِبَالُ.١
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
كَمَا تُشْعِلُ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلْهَشِيمَ، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ تَغْلِي، لِتُعَرِّفَ أَعْدَاءَكَ ٱسْمَكَ، لِتَرْتَعِدَ ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.٢
3 When thou did fearful things which we did not look for, thou came down; the mountains quaked at thy presence.
حِينَ صَنَعْتَ مَخَاوِفَ لَمْ نَنْتَظِرْهَا، نَزَلْتَ، تَزَلْزَلَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.٣
4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides thee, what he has prepared for him who waits for him.
وَمُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يَصْغَوْا. لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ إِلَهًا غَيْرَكَ يَصْنَعُ لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُهُ.٤
5 Thou meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember thee in thy ways. Behold, thou were angry, and we sinned. Therefore we have erred.
تُلَاقِي ٱلْفَرِحَ ٱلصَّانِعَ ٱلْبِرَّ. ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَكَ فِي طُرُقِكَ. هَا أَنْتَ سَخِطْتَ إِذْ أَخْطَأْنَا. هِيَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فَنَخْلُصُ.٥
6 For we have all become as unclean, and all our righteous acts are as a polluted garment. And we all fade as a leaf. And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
وَقَدْ صِرْنَا كُلُّنَا كَنَجِسٍ، وَكَثَوْبِ عِدَّةٍ كُلُّ أَعْمَالِ بِرِّنَا، وَقَدْ ذَبُلْنَا كَوَرَقَةٍ، وَآثَامُنَا كَرِيحٍ تَحْمِلُنَا.٦
7 And there is none who calls upon thy name, who stirs himself up to take hold of thee. For thou have hid thy face from us, and have consumed us through our iniquities.
وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِكَ أَوْ يَنْتَبِهُ لِيَتَمَسَّكَ بِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ وَجْهَكَ عَنَّا، وَأَذَبْتَنَا بِسَبَبِ آثَامِنَا.٧
8 But now, O Jehovah, thou are our Father. We are the clay, and thou our potter, and we are all the work of thy hand.
وَٱلْآنَ يَارَبُّ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا. نَحْنُ ٱلطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ جَابِلُنَا، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.٨
9 Be not angry very severely, O Jehovah, nor remember iniquity forever. Behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
لَا تَسْخَطْ كُلَّ ٱلسَّخْطِ يَارَبُّ، وَلَا تَذْكُرِ ٱلْإِثْمَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. هَا ٱنْظُرْ. شَعْبُكَ كُلُّنَا.٩
10 Thy holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
مُدُنُ قُدْسِكَ صَارَتْ بَرِّيَّةً. صِهْيَوْنُ صَارَتْ بَرِّيَّةً، وَأُورُشَلِيمُ مُوحَشَةً.١٠
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire, and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
بَيْتُ قُدْسِنَا وَجَمَالِنَا حَيْثُ سَبَّحَكَ آبَاؤُنَا، قَدْ صَارَ حَرِيقَ نَارٍ، وَكُلُّ مُشْتَهَيَاتِنَا صَارَتْ خَرَابًا.١١
12 Will thou restrain thyself for these things, O Jehovah? Will thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very severely?
أَلِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ تَتَجَلَّدُ يَارَبُّ؟ أَتَسْكُتُ وَتُذِلُّنَا كُلَّ ٱلذِّلِّ؟١٢
