< Isaiah 42 >

1 Behold, my seruaunt: I will stay vpon him: mine elect, in whom my soule deliteth: I haue put my Spirit vpon him: he shall bring forth iudgement to the Gentiles.
هُوَذَا عَبْدِي الَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي الَّذِي ابْتَهَجَتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ لِيَسُوسَ الأُمَمَ بِالْعَدْلِ.١
2 He shall not crie, nor lift vp, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streete.
لَا يَصِيحُ وَلا يَصْرُخُ وَلا يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.٢
3 A bruised reede shall hee not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: he shall bring foorth iudgement in trueth.
لَا يَكْسِرُ قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً، وَفَتِيلَةً مُدَخِّنَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِنَّمَا بِأَمَانَةٍ يُجْرِي عَدْلاً.٣
4 He shall not faile nor be discouraged till he haue set iudgement in the earth: and the yles shall waite for his lawe.
لَا يَكِلُّ وَلا تُثَبَّطُ لَهُ هِمَّةٌ حَتَّى يُرَسِّخَ الْعَدْلَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ الْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ.٤
5 Thus sayeth God the Lord (he that created the heauens and spred them abroad: he that stretched foorth the earth, and the buddes thereof: he that giueth breath vnto the people vpon it, and spirit to them that walke therein)
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ اللهُ، الرَّبُّ خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَبَاسِطُهَا، وَنَاشِرُ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنْهَا. الْوَاهِبُ أَهْلَهَا نَسَمَةً، وَالْمُنْعِمُ بِالرُّوحِ عَلَى السَّائِرِينَ عَلَيْهَا:٥
6 I the Lord haue called thee in righteousnesse, and will hold thine hand, and I will keepe thee, and giue thee for a couenant of the people, and for a light of the Gentiles,
«أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِالْبِرِّ. أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِكَ وَحَافَظْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْتُكَ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُوراً لِلأُمَمِ٦
7 That thou maist open the eyes of the blind, and bring out the prisoners from the prison: and them that sitte in darkenesse, out of the prison house.
لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيِ، وَتُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ الْمَأْسُورِينَ فِي السِّجْنِ، وَتُحَرِّرَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي ظُلْمَةِ الْحَبْسِ.٧
8 I am the Lord, this is my Name, and my glory wil I not giue to another, neither my praise to grauen images.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَهَذَا اسْمِي. لَا أُعْطِي مَجْدِي لِآخَرَ، وَلا حَمْدِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.٨
9 Beholde, the former thinges are come to passe, and newe things doe I declare: before they come foorth, I tell you of them.
هَا هِيَ النُّبُوءَاتُ السَّالِفَةُ تَتَحَقَّقُ، وَأُخْرَى جَدِيدَةٌ أُعْلِنُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْبِئُ بِها قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ».٩
10 Sing vnto the Lord a newe song, and his praise from the ende of the earth: yee that goe downe to the sea, and all that is therein: the yles and the inhabitants thereof.
غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، سَبِّحُوهُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَيُّهَا الْمُسَافِرُونَ فِي عُبَابِ الْبَحْرِ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ وَيَا سُكَّانَ الْجَزَائِرِ.١٠
11 Let the wildernesse and the cities thereof lift vp their voyce, the townes that Kedar doeth inhabite: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing: let them shoute from the toppe of the mountaines.
لِتَهْتِفِ الصَّحْرَاءُ وَمُدُنُهَا، وَدِيَارُ قِيدَارَ الْمَأْهُولَةُ. لِيَتَغَنَّ بِفَرَحٍ أَهْلُ سَالِعَ وَلْيَهْتِفُوا مِنْ قِمَمِ الْجِبَالِ.١١
12 Let them giue glorie vnto the Lord, and declare his praise in the ylands.
ولْيُمَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ وَيُذِيعُوا حَمْدَهُ فِي الْجَزَائِرِ.١٢
13 The Lord shall go forth as a gyant: he shall stirre vp his courage like a man of warre: he shall shout and crie, and shall preuaile against his enemies.
يَبْرُزُ الرَّبُّ كَجَبَّارٍ، يَسْتَثِيرُ حَمِيَّتَهُ كَمَا يَسْتَثِيرُهَا الْمُحَارِبُ، وَيُطْلِقُ صَرْخَةَ حَرْبٍ دَاوِيَةً، يُظْهِرُ جَبَرُوتَهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ.١٣
14 I haue a long time holden my peace: I haue beene still and refrained my selfe: nowe will I crie like a trauailing woman: I will destroy and deuoure at once.
لَكَمِ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِالصَّمْتِ، وَلَزِمْتُ السَّكِينَةَ وَلَجَمْتُ نَفْسِي. أَمَّا الآنَ فَأَنَا أَصِيحُ وَأَزْفِرُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ.١٤
15 I will make waste mountaines, and hilles, and drie vp all their herbes, and I will make the floods ylands, and I will drie vp the pooles.
أُخَرِّبُ الْجِبَالَ وَالتِّلالَ، وَأُيَبِّسُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قَفْرٍ وَأُجَفِّفُ الْبُحَيْرَاتِ،١٥
16 And I will bring the blinde by a way, that they knewe not, and lead them by paths that they haue not knowen: I will make darkenesse light before them, and crooked thinges straight. These thinges will I doe vnto them, and not forsake them.
وَأَقُودُ الْعُمْيَ فِي سَبِيلٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَهْدِيهِمْ فِي مَسَالِكَ يَجْهَلُونَهَا، وَأُحِيلُ الظَّلامَ أَمَامَهُمْ إِلَى نُورٍ، وَالأَمَاكِنَ الْوَعِرَةَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُمَهَّدَةٍ. هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ أَصْنَعُهَا وَلَنْ أَتَخَلَّى عَنْهُمْ.١٦
17 They shall be turned backe: they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in grauen images, and say to the molten images, Yee are our gods.
أَمَّا الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ عَلَى الأَصْنَامِ، الْقَائِلُونَ لِلأَوْثَانِ: «أَنْتُمْ آلِهَتُنَا» فَإِنَّهُمْ يُدْبِرُونَ مُجَلَّلِينَ بِالْخِزْيِ.١٧
18 Heare, ye deafe: and ye blinde, regarde, that ye may see.
اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الصُّمُّ، انْظُرُوَا أَيُّهَا الْعُمْيُ لِتُبْصِرُوا.١٨
19 Who is blinde but my seruaunt? or deafe as my messenger, that I sent? who is blind as the perfit, and blinde as the Lordes seruant?
مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى سِوَى عَبْدِي؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى مِثْلَ مَنْ يَكُنُّ لِي الْوَلاءَ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَفِيفٌ كَعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ؟١٩
20 Seeing many things, but thou keepest them not? opening the eares, but he heareth not?
تَشْهَدُ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً وَلا تُلاحِظُهَا، وَأُذُنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَسْمَعُ شَيْئاً.٢٠
21 The Lord is willing for his righteousnesse sake that he may magnifie the Lawe, and exalt it.
قَدْ سُرَّ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ أَنْ يُعَظِّمَ شَرِيعَتَهُ وَيُمَجِّدَهَا،٢١
22 But this people is robbed and spoiled, and shalbe all snared in dungeons, and they shalbe hid in prison houses: they shall be for a pray, and none shall deliuer: a spoile, and none shall say, Restore.
لَكِنَّ شَعْبَهُ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدْ وَقَعُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ فِي الْحُفْرَةِ وَاقْتُنِصُوا وَزُجَّ بِهِمْ فِي أَقْبِيَةِ السُّجُونِ. صَارُوا فَرِيسَةً وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْقِذٍ، وَأَصْبَحُوا غَنِيمَةً وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّهَا».٢٢
23 Who among you shall hearken to this, and take heede, and heare for afterwardes?
مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا وَيُنْصِتُ وَيُصْغِي لِلزَّمَنِ الْمُقْبِلِ؟٢٣
24 Who gaue Iaakob for a spoyle, and Israel to the robbers? Did not ye Lord, because we haue sinned against him? for they woulde not walke in his waies, neither be obedient vnto his Lawe.
مَنْ أَسْلَمَ يَعْقُوبَ لِلنَّهْبِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لِلسَّالِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ اللهُ الَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا فِي حَقِّهِ؟ لأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَأَنْ يُطِيعُوا شَرِيعَتَهُ.٢٤
25 Therefore hee hath powred vpon him his fierce wrath, and the strength of battell: and it set him on fire round about, and he knewe not, and it burned him vp, yet he considered not.
لِذَلِكَ صَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ جَامَ غَضَبِهِ فِي وَطِيسِ الْحَرْبِ فَاكْتَنَفَتْهُمْ بِضِرَامِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُمْ بِنِيرَانِهَا وَلَمْ يَتَّعِظُوا.٢٥
