< Isaiah 43 >

1 And now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name: thou art mine.
أَمَّا الآنَ، فَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ خَالِقُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَجَابِلُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لا تَجْزَعْ لأَنِّي افْتَدَيْتُكَ، دَعَوْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ. أَنْتَ لِي.١
2 When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and the rivers shall not cover thee: when thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and the flames shall not burn in thee:
إِذَا اجْتَزْتَ فِي وَسَطِ الْمِيَاهِ أَكُونُ مَعَكَ، وَإِنْ خُضْتَ الأَنْهَارَ لَا تَغْمُرُكَ. إِنْ عَبَرْتَ فِي النَّارِ لَا تَلْذَعُكَ. وَاللهِيبُ لَا يُحْرِقُكَ.٢
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I have given Egypt for thy atonement, Ethiopia and Saba for thee.
لأَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَلِّصُكَ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُ مِصْرَ فِدْيَةً عَنْكَ وَكُوشَ وَسَبَأَ عِوَضاً عَنْكَ.٣
4 Since thou becamest honourable in my eyes, thou art glorious: I have loved thee, and I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
إِذْ أَصْبَحْتَ كَرِيماً فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَعَزِيزاً وَمَحْبُوباً، فَقَدْ بَادَلْتُ أُنَاساً بِكَ، وَقَايَضْتُ أُمَماً عِوَضاً عَنْ حَيَاتِكَ.٤
5 Fear not, for I am with thee: I will. bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
لَا تَجْزَعْ لأَنِّي مَعَكَ. سَأَلِمُّ شَتَاتَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَأَجْمَعُكَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ.٥
6 I will say to the north: Give up: and to the south: Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
أَقُولُ لِلشِّمَالِ: أَطْلِقْهُمْ مِنْ عِقَالِكَ، وَللْجَنُوبِ لَا تَحْجِزْهُمْ. اجْمَعْ أَبْنَائِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَبَنَاتِي مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ،٦
7 And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, and made him.
كُلَّ مَنْ يُدْعَى بِاسْمِي مِمَّنْ خَلَقْتُهُ لِمَجْدِي وَجَبَلْتُهُ وَصَنَعْتُهُ».٧
8 Bring forth the people that are blind, and have eyes: that are deaf, and have ears.
أَخْرِجِ الشَّعْبَ الأَعْمَى وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ عُيُونٌ، وَالأَصَمَّ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ آذَانٌ.٨
9 All the nations are assembled together, and the tribes are gathered: who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
لِتَجْتَمِعِ الأُمَمُ بِأَسْرِهَا، وَلْتَحْتَشِدِ الشُّعُوبُ. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ يُنْبِئُ بِهَذَا، وَيُخْبِرُنَا بِالأُمُورِ السَّالِفَةِ؟ لِيُقَدِّمُوا شُهُودَهُمْ إِثْبَاتاً لِصِدْقِهِمْ، أَوْ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَيَقُولُوا: هَذَا صِدْقٌ.٩
10 You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there shall be none.
أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَعَبْدِي الَّذِي اصْطَفَيْتُهُ، لِتَعْلَمُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا بِي، وَتُدْرِكُوا أَنِّي أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ، لَمْ يُوْجَدْ إِلَهٌ قَبْلِي وَلا يَكُونُ إِلَهٌ بَعْدِي.١٠
11 I am, I am the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَلا مُخَلِّصَ غَيْرِي.١١
12 I have declared, and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.
إِنِّي أَنْبَأْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأَعْلَنْتُ أَنَا، وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ بَيْنَكُمْ. أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي أَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.١٢
13 And from the beginning I am the same, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it away?
مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ وَلَيْسَ مُنْقِذٌ مِنْ يَدِي. أَفْعَلُ وَمَنْ يُبْطِلُ عَمَلِي؟١٣
14 Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَا أَنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى بَابِلَ لأُحَطِّمَ الْمَغَالِيقَ، فَيُصْبِحُ الْبَابِلِيُّونَ فِي سُفُنِهِمِ الَّتِي يُبَاهُونَ بِها مَطْرُودِينَ هَارِبِينَ.١٤
15 I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُكُمْ خَالِقُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَلِكُكُمْ.١٥
16 Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الصَّانِعُ فِي الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقاً، وَمَمَرّاً فِي اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ،١٦
17 Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct.
الَّذِي يَسْتَدْرِجُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْخُيُولَ وَالْجَيْشَ وَالْمُقَاتِلِينَ، فَيَسْقُطُونَ صَرْعَى جَمِيعاً وَلا يَقُومُونَ، وَيَخْمُدُونَ كَفَتِيلَةٍ وَيَنْطَفِئُونَ.١٧
18 Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ الأُمُورَ السَّالِفَةَ وَلا تَعْتَبِرُونَ بِالأَحْدَاثِ الغَابِرَةِ١٨
19 Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
انْظُرُوا، هَا أَنَا أُنْجِزُ أَمْراً جَدِيداً يَنْشَأُ الآنَ، أَلا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ أَشُقُّ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقاً، وَفِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَنْهَاراً،١٩
20 The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
فَيُكْرِمُنِي وَحْشُ الصَّحْرَاءِ: الذِّئَابُ وَالنَّعَامُ لأَنِّي فَجَّرْتُ فِي الْقَفْرِ مَاءً، وَفِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَنْهَاراً لأَسْقِيَ شَعْبِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ،٢٠
21 This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise.
وَجَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي لِيُذِيعَ حَمْدِي.٢١
22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
وَلَكِنَّكَ لَمْ تَلْتَمِسْنِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، بَلْ سَئِمْتَ مِنِّي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ.٢٢
23 Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims: I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
لَمْ تَأْتِنِي بِشَاةٍ لِذَبِيحَةِ مُحْرَقَةٍ، وَلَمْ تُكْرِمْنِي بِقَرَابِينِكَ، مَعَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُثَقِّلْ عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ، وَلا أَرْهَقْتُكَ بِطَلَبِ اللُّبَانِ.٢٣
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
لَمْ تَشْتَرِ لِي بَخُوراً ذَكِيَّ الرَّائِحَةِ، وَلَمْ تُشْبِعْنِي بِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِكَ. إِنَّمَا أَعْيَيْتَنِي بِثِقْلِ آثَامِكَ وَأَرْهَقْتَنِي بِذُنُوبِكَ.٢٤
25 I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
أَنَا، أَنَا هُوَ الْمَاحِي ذُنُوبَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاتِي، وَخَطَايَاكَ لَنْ أَذْكُرَهَا.٢٥
26 Put me in remembrance, and let us plead together: tell if thou hast any thing to justify thyself.
هَيَّا إِلَى الْمُحَاكَمَةِ، وَاعْرِضْ عَلَيَّ دَعْوَاكَ، لِتَتَبَرَّرَ٢٦
27 Thy brat father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
قَدْ أَخْطَأَ أَبُوكَ الأَوَّلُ، وَوُسَطَاؤُكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ،٢٧
28 And I have profaned the holy princes, I have given Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to reproach.
لِذَلِكَ أُدَنِّسُ عُظَمَاءَ مَقَادِسِي وَأَقْضِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْهَلاكِ وَأَتْرُكُهُ عُرْضَةً لِلْخِزْيِ وَالْعَارِ.٢٨
