Isaiah 51

1 “Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.

١ اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا مُلْتَمِسِي الْبِرِّ، السَّاعِينَ وَرَاءَ الرَّبِّ: تَلَفَّتُوا إِلَى الصَّخْرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ نُحِتُّمْ، وَإِلَى الْمَحْجَرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ اقْتُلِعْتُمْ.

2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him, he was but one; then I blessed him and multiplied him.

٢ انْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ وَإِلَى سَارَةَ الَّتِي أَنْجَبَتْكُمْ، فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُهُ حِينَ كَانَ فَرْداً وَاحِداً وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

3 For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.

٣ الرَّبُّ يُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ وَيُعَزِّي خَرَائِبَهَا، وَيُحَوِّلُ قَفْرَهَا إِلَى عَدْنٍ وَصَحْرَاءَهَا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ رَائِعَةٍ، فَتَفِيضُ بِالْفَرَحِ وَالْغِبْطَةِ وَالشُّكْرِ وَهُتَافِ تَرْنِيمٍ.

4 Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.

٤ اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا شَعْبِي، وَأَصْغِي إِلَيَّ يَا أُمَّتِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ تَصْدُرُ مِنِّي، وَعَدْلِي يُصْبِحُ نُوراً لِلشُّعُوبِ.

5 My righteousness draws near, My salvation is on the way, and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look for Me and wait in hope for My arm.

٥ بِرِّي بَاتَ قَرِيباً، وَتَجَلَّى خَلاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ تَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ، وَإِيَّايَ تَرْتَقِبُ الْجَزَائِرُ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ بِرَجَاءٍ ذِرَاعِي.

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.

٦ ارْفَعُوا عُيُونَكُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَفَرَّسُوا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، فَإِنَّ السَمَاوَاتِ كَدُخَانٍ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَالأَرْضَ كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، وَيَبِيدُ سُكَّانُهَا كَالذُّبَابِ. أَمَّا خَلاصِي فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وِبِرِّي يَثْبُتُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

7 Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.

٧ اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيَّ يَا عَارِفِي الْبِرِّ، أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. لَا تَخْشَوْا تَعْيِيرَ النَّاسِ وَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا مِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ،

8 For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”

٨ لأَنَّ الْعُثَّ يَأْكُلُهُمْ كَثَوْبٍ، وَيَقْرِضُهُمُ السُّوسُ كَالصُّوفِ، أَمَّا بِرِّي فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَخَلاصِي يَثْبُتُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?

٩ اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي، تَسَرْبَلِي بِالْقُوَّةِ يَا ذِرَاعَ الرَّبِّ، اسْتَيْقِظِي كَالْعَهْدِ بِكِ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، وَفِي الأَجْيَالِ الْغَابِرَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي مَزَّقْتِ رَهَبَ إِرْباً إِرْباً، وَطَعَنْتِ التِّنِّينَ؟

10 Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?

١٠ أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي جَفَّفْتِ الْبَحْرَ، وَمِيَاهَ اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ، وَجَعَلْتِ أَعْمَاقَ الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقاً يَعْبُرُ فَوْقَهُ الْمَفْدِيُّونَ؟

11 So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.

١١ سَيَرْجِعُ الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِتَرَنُّمٍ، يُكَلِّلُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ، فَتَطْغَى عَلَيْهِمْ بَهْجَةٌ وَغِبْطَةٌ، أَمَّا الْحُزْنُ وَالتَّنَهُّدُ فَيَهْرُبَانِ بَعِيداً.

12 “I, even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?

١٢ أَنَا، أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ، فَمَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخْشَيْ إِنْسَاناً فَانِياً أَوْ بَشَراً يَبِيدُونَ كَالْعُشْبِ؟

13 But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the fury of the oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the fury of the oppressor?

١٣ وَنَسِيتِ الرَّبَّ صَانِعَكِ، بَاسِطَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُرْسِي قَوَاعِدِ الأَرْضِ فَتَظَلِّينَ فِي رُعْبٍ دَائِمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ الْمُضَايِقِ حِينَ يُوَطِّدُ الْعَزْمَ عَلَى التَّدْمِيرِ؟ أَيْنَ هُوَ غَضَبُ الْمُضَايِقِ؟

14 The captive will soon be freed; he will not die in the dungeon, and his bread will not be lacking.

١٤ عَمَّا قَرِيبٍ يُطْلَقُ سَرَاحُ الْمُنْحَنِي فَلا يَمُوتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ وَلا يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى الْخُبْزِ.

15 For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is His name.

١٥ لأَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ الَّذِي يُهَيِّجُ الْبَحْرَ فَتَصْطَخِبُ أَمْوَاجُهُ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ.

16 I have put My words in your mouth, and covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”

١٦ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ كَلامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَوَارَيْتُكَ فِي ظِلِّ يَدِي، لأُقِرَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ فِي مَوْضِعِهَا وَأُرْسِي قَوَاعِدَ الأَرْضِ، وَأَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي.

17 Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs— the cup that makes men stagger.

١٧ اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي، انْهَضِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا مَنْ تَجَرَّعَتْ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، يَا مَنْ شَرِبَتْ ثُمَالَةَ كَأْسِ التَّرَنُّحِ.

18 Among all the sons she bore, there is no one to guide her; among all the sons she brought up, there is no one to take her hand.

١٨ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ أَبْنَائِهَا الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مَنْ يَهْدِيهَا، وَلا مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الْبَنِينَ الَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

19 These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you?

١٩ لَقَدِ ابْتُلِيتِ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْمِحْنَتَيْنِ، فَمَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ: التَّدْمِيرِ وَالْخَرَابِ، وَالْمَجَاعَةِ وَالسَّيْفِ، فَمَنْ يُعَزِّيكِ؟

20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.

٢٠ قَدْ أَعْيَا أَبْنَاؤُكِ وَانْطَرَحُوا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ كُلِّ شَارِعٍ كَوَعْلٍ وَقَعَ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. امْتَلَأُوا مِنْ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ زَجْرِ إِلَهِكِ.

21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.

٢١ لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا الْمَنْكُوبَةُ، وَالسَّكْرَى وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَمْرٍ.

22 Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.

٢٢ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ سَيِّدُكِ الرَّبُّ، إِلَهُكِ الَّذِي يُدَافِعُ عَنْ دَعْوَى شَعْبِهِ: هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ التَّرَنُّحِ، وَلَنْ تَجْرَعِي مِنْ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي بَعْدُ.

23 I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”

٢٣ وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا لَكِ: انْحَنِي حَتَّى نَدُوسَ عَلَيْكِ عَابِرِينَ. فَجَعَلْتِ ظَهْرَكِ لَهُمْ أَرْضاً، وَطَرِيقاً لَهُمْ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِ.
