Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَتَرَدَّدُ هَذَا النَّشِيدُ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا: لَنَا مَدِينَةٌ مَنِيعَةٌ، يَجْعَلُ الرَّبُّ الْخَلاصَ أَسْوَاراً وَمَتْرَسَةً. | ١ |
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
| افْتَحُوا الأَبْوَابَ لِتَدْخُلَ الأُمَّةُ الْبَارَّةُ الَّتِي حَافَظَتْ عَلَى الأَمَانَةِ. | ٢ |
3 You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
| أَنْتَ تَحْفَظُ ذَا الرَّأْيِ الثَّابِتِ سَالِماً لأَنَّهُ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلَ. | ٣ |
4 Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
| اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ اللهَ هُوَ صَخْرُ الدُّهُورِ. | ٤ |
5 For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
| لَقَدْ أَذَلَّ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الْعَلاءِ، وَخَفَضَ الْمَدِينَةَ الْمُتَشَامِخَةَ. سَاوَاهَا بِالأَرْضِ وَطَرَحَهَا إِلَى التُّرَابِ، | ٥ |
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.”
| فَدَاسَتْهَا أَقْدَامُ الْبَائِسِ وَالْفَقِيرِ. | ٦ |
7 The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
| سَبِيلُ الصِّدِّيقِ اسْتِقَامَةٌ، لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ طَرِيقَ الْبَارِّ مُمَهَّدَةً. | ٧ |
8 Yes, in the way of your judgments, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
| انْتَظَرْنَاكَ يَا رَبُّ بِشَوْقٍ فِي طَرِيقِ أَحْكَامِكَ. تَتُوقُ النَّفْسُ إِلَى اسْمِكَ وَتَشْتَهِي ذِكْرَكَ. | ٨ |
9 With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
| تَتُوقُ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي فِي اللَّيْلِ، وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ تَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْكَ رُوحِي. عِنْدَمَا تَسُدْ أَحْكَامُكَ فِي الأَرْضِ يَتَعَلَّمْ أَهْلُهَا الْعَدْلَ. | ٩ |
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD’s majesty.
| إِنْ أَبْدَيْتَ رَحْمَتَكَ لِلْمُنَافِقِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَتَعَلَّمُ الْعَدْلَ، بَلْ يَظَلُّ يَرْتَكِبُ الشَّرَّ حَتَّى فِي أَرْضِ الاسْتِقَامَةِ، وَلا يَعْبَأُ بِجَلالِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٠ |
11 LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
| يَا رَبُّ إِنَّ يَدَكَ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ وَهُمْ لَا يَرَوْنَهَا، فَدَعْهُمْ يُشَاهِدُونَ غَيْرَتَكَ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ، وَيَخْزَوْنَ. لِتَلْتَهِمْهُمُ النَّارُ الَّتِي ادَّخَرْتَهَا لأَعْدَائِكَ. | ١١ |
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
| يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ سَلاماً لَنَا لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ لَنَا كُلَّ أَعْمَالِنَا. | ١٢ |
13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name.
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، قَدْ سَادَ عَلَيْنَا أَسْيَادٌ سِوَاكَ، وَلَكِنَّنَا لَا نَعْتَرِفُ إِلّا بِاسْمِكَ وَحْدَهُ. | ١٣ |
14 The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
| هُمْ أَمْوَاتٌ لَا يَحْيَوْنَ وَأَشْبَاحٌ لَا تَقُومُ. عَاقَبْتَهُمْ وَأَهْلَكْتَهُمْ وَأَبَدْتَ ذِكْرَهُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
| قَدْ زِدْتَ الأُمَّةَ يَا رَبُّ وَنَمَّيْتَهَا، فَتَمَجَّدَتْ، وَوَسَّعْتَ تُخُومَهَا فِي الأَرْضِ. | ١٥ |
16 LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
| يَا رَبُّ قَدْ طَلَبُوكَ فِي الْمِحْنَةِ، وَسَكَبُوا دُعَاءَهُمْ عِنْدَ تَأَدِيبِكَ لَهُمْ، | ١٦ |
17 Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.
| وَكُنَّا فِي حَضْرَتِكَ يَا رَبُّ كَالْحُبْلَى الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى الْوِلادَةِ، الَّتِي تَتَلَوَّى وَتَصْرُخُ فِي مَخَاضِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
| حَبِلْنَا وَتَلَوَّيْنَا وَلَكِنَّنَا كُنَّا كَمَنْ يَتَمَخَّضُ عَنْ رِيحٍ. لَمْ نُخَلِّصِ الأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يُوْلَدْ مَنْ يُقِيمُ فِيهَا فَتَصِيرُ آهِلَةً عَامِرَةً. | ١٨ |
19 Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
| وَلَكِنَّ أَمْوَاتَكَ يَحْيَوْنَ، وَتَقُومُ أَجْسَادُهُمْ، فَيَا سُكَّانَ التُّرَابِ اسْتَيْقِظُوا وَاشْدُوا بِفَرَحٍ لأَنَّ طَلَّكَ هُوَ نَدىً مُتَلألِئٌ، جَعَلْتَهُ يَهْطِلُ عَلَى أَرْضِ الأَشْبَاحِ. | ١٩ |
20 Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
| تَعَالَوْا يَا شَعْبِي وَادْخُلُوا إِلَى مَخَادِعِكُمْ، وَأَوْصِدُوا أَبْوَابَكُمْ خَلْفَكُمْ. تَوَارَوْا قَلِيلاً حَتَّى يَعْبُرَ السَّخَطُ. | ٢٠ |
21 For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
| وَانْظُرُوا فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ خَارِجٌ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ لِيُعَاقِبَ سُكَّانَ الأَرْضِ عَلَى آثَامِهِمْ، فَتَكْشِفُ الأَرْضُ عَمَّا سُفِكَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ دِمَاءٍ وَلا تُغَطِّي قَتْلاهَا فِيمَا بَعْدُ. | ٢١ |
