Isaiah 58
1 “Cry aloud! Do not spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
| نَادِ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِكَ، لَا تَصْمُتْ. اهْتُفْ بِصَوْتِكَ كَنَفِيرِ بُوقٍ، وَأَخْبِرْ شَعْبِي بِإِثْمِهِمْ، وَذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ. | ١ |
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight to draw near to God.
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَلْتَمِسُونَنِي يَوْمِيًّا، وَيُسَرُّونَ بِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِي وَكَأَنَّهُمْ أُمَّةٌ تَصْنَعُ بِرّاً، وَكَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُهْمِلُوا أَحْكَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ، يَطْلُبُونَ مِنِّي أَحْكَامَ بِرٍّ، وَيَغْتَبِطُونَ بِالتَّقَرُّبِ مِنَ اللهِ. | ٢ |
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you do not notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.
| وَيَسْأَلُونَ: مَا بَالُنَا صُمْنَا وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُلاحِظْ، وَتَذَلَّلْنَا وَلَمْ تَحْفِلْ بِذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّكُمْ فِي يَوْمِ صَوْمِكُمْ تَلْتَمِسُونَ مَسَرَّةَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَتُسَخِّرُونَ جَمِيعَ عُمَّالِكُمْ. | ٣ |
4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You do not fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
| وَهَا أَنْتُمْ تَصُومُونَ لِكَيْ تَتَخَاصَمُوا وَتَتَشَاجَرُوا فَقَطْ، وَتَتَضَارَبُوا بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَثِيمَةٍ. إِنَّ مِثْلَ صَوْمِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ لَا يَجْعَلُ أَصْوَاتَكُمْ مَسْمُوعَةً فِي الْعَلاءِ. | ٤ |
5 Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
| أَيَكُونُ الصَّوْمُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ فِي إِذْلالِ الْمَرْءِ نَفْسَهُ يَوْماً، أَوْ فِي إِحْنَاءِ رَأْسِهِ كَالْقَصَبَةِ، أَوِ افْتِرَاشِ الْمِسْحِ وَالرَّمَادِ؟ أَتَدْعُو هَذَا صَوْماً مَقْبُولاً لَدَى الرَّبِّ؟ | ٥ |
6 “Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
| أَلَيْسَ الصَّوْمُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ يَكُونُ فِي فَكِّ قُيُودِ الشَّرِّ، وَحَلِّ عُقَدِ النِّيرِ، وَإِطْلاقِ سَرَاحِ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ، وَتَحْطِيمِ كُلِّ نِيرٍ؟ | ٦ |
7 Is not it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
| أَلا يَكُونُ فِي مُشَاطَرَةِ خُبْزِكَ مَعَ الْجَائِعِ، وَإِيْوَاءِ الْفَقِيرِ الْمُتَشَرِّدِ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَكُسْوَةِ الْعُرْيَانِ الَّذِي تَلْتَقِيهِ، وَعَدَمِ التَّغَاضِي عَنْ قَرِيبِكَ الْبَائِسِ؟ | ٧ |
8 Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يَشِعُّ نُورُكَ كَالصَّبَاحِ، وَتُزْهِرُ عَافِيَتُكَ سَرِيعاً، وَيَتَقَدَّمُكَ بِرُّكَ، وَيَحْرُسُ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مُؤَخَّرَةَ سَاقَتِكَ. | ٨ |
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَدْعُو فَيَسْتَجِيبُ الرَّبُّ. تَسْتَغِيثُ فَيَقُولُ هَا أَنَا. إِنْ أَزَلْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِ بَيْتِكَ النِّيرَ، وَالإِيمَاءَ بِالأُصْبُعِ احْتِقَاراً، وَالنُّطْقَ بِالشَّرِّ، | ٩ |
10 and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
| إِن بَذَلْتَ نَفْسَكَ لِلْجَائِعِ، وَأَشْبَعْتَ حَاجَةَ الذَّلِيلِ، فَإِنَّ نُورَكَ يُشْرِقُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ، وَلَيْلَكَ الدَّامِسَ يُصْبِحُ كَالظُّهْرِ، | ١٠ |
11 and the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
| وَيَهْدِيكَ الرَّبُّ دَائِماً وَيَسُدُّ حَاجَتَكَ حَتَّى فِي زَمَنِ الْقَحْطِ وَالأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ، فَيُقَوِّي عِظَامَكَ فَتُصْبِحُ كَرَوْضَةٍ مَرْوِيَّةٍ، وَكَجَدْوَلِ مَاءٍ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ، | ١١ |
12 Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
| وَيَبْنِي أَوْلادُكَ الْخَرَائِبَ الْقَدِيمَةَ وَيُقِيمُونَ أَسَاسَاتِهَا، وَيُسَمُّونَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي بَنَى أَسْوَارَهُ وَرَمَّمَ أَحْيَاءَ مُدُنِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable, and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
| إِنْ كَفَفْتَ قَدَمَكَ عَنْ نَقْضِ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ، وَعَنِ السَّعْيِ وَرَاءَ مَرَامِكَ فِي يَوْمِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَدَعَوْتَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ يَوْمَ مَسَرَّةٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَجَعَلْتَهُ يَوْماً مُكَرَّماً لِلهِ. إِنْ أَكْرَمْتَهُ وَلَمْ تَسْلُكْ حَسَبَ أَهْوَائِكَ أَوْ تَلْتَمِسْ قَضَاءَ مَصَالِحِكَ، أَوْ تُنْفِقْهُ فِي لَغْوِ الْكَلامِ، | ١٣ |
14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْتَهِجُ بِالرَّبِّ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ تَمْتَطِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِ الأَرْضِ، وَأُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِمِيرَاثِ يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيكَ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ. | ١٤ |
