< Isaiah 50 >

1 This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «أَيْنَ كِتَابُ طَلَاقِ أُمِّكُمُ ٱلَّتِي طَلَّقْتُهَا، أَوْ مَنْ هُوَ مِنْ غُرَمَائِي ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُهُ إِيَّاكُمْ؟ هُوَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ آثَامِكُمْ قَدْ بُعْتُمْ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ طُلِّقَتْ أُمُّكُمْ.١
2 When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
لِمَاذَا جِئْتُ وَلَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ، نَادَيْتُ وَلَيْسَ مُجِيبٌ؟ هَلْ قَصَرَتْ يَدِي عَنِ ٱلْفِدَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ لَيْسَ فِيَّ قُدْرَةٌ لِلْإِنْقَاذِ؟ هُوَذَا بِزَجْرَتِي أُنَشِّفُ ٱلْبَحْرَ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قَفْرًا. يُنْتِنُ سَمَكُهَا مِنْ عَدَمِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَيَمُوتُ بِٱلْعَطَشِ.٢
3 I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
أُلْبِسُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ظَلَامًا، وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْمِسْحَ غِطَاءَهَا».٣
4 The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
أَعْطَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَانَ ٱلْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ لِأَعْرِفَ أَنْ أُغِيثَ ٱلْمُعْيِيَ بِكَلِمَةٍ. يُوقِظُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ، يُوقِظُ لِي أُذُنًا، لِأَسْمَعَ كَٱلْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ.٤
5 The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَتَحَ لِي أُذُنًا وَأَنَا لَمْ أُعَانِدْ. إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ لَمْ أَرْتَدَّ.٥
6 I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
بَذَلْتُ ظَهْرِي لِلضَّارِبِينَ، وَخَدَّيَّ لِلنَّاتِفِينَ. وَجْهِي لَمْ أَسْتُرْ عَنِ ٱلْعَارِ وَٱلْبَصْقِ.٦
7 The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
وَٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُعِينُنِي، لِذَلِكَ لَا أَخْجَلُ. لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي كَٱلصَّوَّانِ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنِّي لَا أَخْزَى.٧
8 The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
قَرِيبٌ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُبَرِّرُنِي. مَنْ يُخَاصِمُنِي؟ لِنَتَوَاقَفْ! مَنْ هُوَ صَاحِبُ دَعْوَى مَعِي؟ لِيَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَيَّ!٨
9 The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُعِينُنِي. مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَحْكُمُ عَلَيَّ؟ هُوَذَا كُلُّهُمْ كَٱلثَّوْبِ يَبْلَوْنَ. يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلْعُثُّ.٩
10 Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
مَنْ مِنْكُمْ خَائِفُ ٱلرَّبِّ، سَامِعٌ لِصَوْتِ عَبْدِهِ؟ مَنِ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَاتِ وَلَا نُورَ لَهُ؟ فَلْيَتَّكِلْ عَلَى ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَسْتَنِدْ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ.١٠
11 Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
يَا هَؤُلَاءِ جَمِيعُكُمُ، ٱلْقَادِحِينَ نَارًا، ٱلْمُتَنَطِّقِينَ بِشَرَارٍ، ٱسْلُكُوا بِنُورِ نَارِكُمْ وَبِٱلشَّرَارِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْقَدْتُمُوهُ. مِنْ يَدِي صَارَ لَكُمْ هَذَا. فِي ٱلْوَجَعِ تَضْطَجِعُونَ.١١
