Isaiah 50

1 Thus sayeth the Lord, Where is that bill of your mothers diuorcement, whome I haue cast off? or who is the creditour to whome I solde you? Beholde, for your iniquities are yee solde, and because of your transgressions is your mother forsaken.

١ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَيْنَ كِتَابُ طَلاقِ أُمِّكُمُ الَّذِي طَلَّقْتُهَا بِهِ؟ لِمَنْ مِنْ دَائِنِيَّ بِعْتُكُمْ؟ إِنَّمَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ قَدْ تَمَّ بَيْعُكُمْ، وَمِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطَايَاكُمْ قَدْ طُلِّقَتْ أُمُّكُمْ.

2 Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so shortened, that it cannot helpe? or haue I no power to deliuer? Beholde, at my rebuke I drie vp the Sea: I make the floods desert: their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.

٢ فَمَالِي إِذاً حِينَ أَتَيْتُ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَداً؟ نَادَيْتُ وَلا مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ هَلْ قَصَرَتْ يَدِي عَنِ الْفِدَاءِ؟ أَمْ لَمْ تَعُدْ لِي طَاقَةٌ عَلَى الإِنْقَاذِ؟ هَا أَنَا بِزَجْرَتِي أُجَفِّفُ الْبَحْرَ وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى صَحْرَاءَ يُنْتِنُ سَمَكُهَا لِخُلُوِّهَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ، فَيَمُوتُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ.

3 I clothe the heauens with darkenesse, and make a sacke their couering.

٣ أُغَلِّفُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بالظُّلْمَةِ وَأَجْعَلُ الْمِسْحَ غِطَاءً لَهَا.

4 The Lord God hath giuen me a tongue of the learned, that I shoulde knowe to minister a woord in time to him that is weary: he will raise me vp in the morning: in the morning hee will waken mine eare to heare, as the learned.

٤ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ وَهَبَنِي مَنْطِقَ الْعُلَمَاءِ لأَعْرِفَ كَيْفَ أُغِيثُ الْمُتْعَبَ بِكَلِمَةٍ، يُنَبِّهُنِي فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، وَيُرْهِفُ أُذُنِي حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ بِانْتِبَاهِ الْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ.

5 The Lord God hath opened mine eare and I was not rebellious, neither turned I backe.

٥ قَدْ فَتَحَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أُذُنِي فَلَمْ أُعَانِدْ أَوْ أَتَرَاجَعْ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ

6 I gaue my backe vnto the smiters, and my cheekes to the nippers: I hidde not my face from shame and spitting.

٦ بَذَلْتُ ظَهْرِي لِلضَّارِبِينَ، وَخَدَّيَّ لِلنَّاتِفِينَ، وَلَمْ أَحْجُبْ وَجْهِي عَنِ الإِهَانَةِ وَالْبَصْقِ.

7 For the Lord God will helpe me, therefore shall I not bee confounded: therefore haue I set my face like a flint, and I knowe that I shall not be ashamed.

٧ لأَنَّ السَّيِّدَ الرَّبَّ يُغِيثُنِي فَلا أَخْزَى، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي كَالصَّوَّانِ، لأَنِّي عَالِمٌ أَنَّنِي لَنْ أَخْزَى.

8 Hee is neere that iustifieth mee: who will contend with me? Let vs stande together: who is mine aduersarie? let him come neere to me.

٨ إِنَّ مُنْصِفِي قَرِيبٌ، فَمَنْ إِذاً يُخَاصِمُنِي؟ فَلْنَمْثُلْ مَعاً. مَنْ هُوَ خَصْمِي؟ فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ مِنِّي.

9 Beholde, the Lord God will helpe me: who is he that can condemne me? loe, they shall waxe olde as a garment: the mothe shall eate them vp.

٩ انْظُرُوا، هَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ يُغِيثُنِي فَمَنْ يَسْتَذْنِبُنِي؟ هَا هُمْ جَمِيعاً كَثَوْبٍ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَأْكُلُهُمُ الْعُثُّ.

10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord? let him heare the voyce of his seruant: hee that walketh in darkenesse, and hath no light, let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and staye vpon his God.

١٠ مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ وَيُطِيعُ صَوْتَ خَادِمِهِ؟ مَنِ الَّذِي يَسْلُكُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ نُورٍ؟ فَلْيَتَّكِلْ عَلَى اسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَيَعْتَمِدْ عَلَى إِلَهِهِ.

11 Beholde, all you kindle a fire, and are compassed about with sparkes: walke in the light of your fire, and in the sparkes that ye haue kindled. This shall ye haue of mine hand: ye shall lye downe in sorowe.

١١ انْظُرُوا، يَا جَمِيعَ مُوْقِدِي النَّارِ، الَّذِينَ يُضِيئُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَشَاعِلَ، سِيرُوا فِي نُورِ نِيرَانِكُمْ، وَعَلَى وَهْجِ مَشَاعِلِكُمُ الَّتِي أَوْقَدْتُمُوهَا، وَهَذَا مَا تَنَالُونَهُ مِنْ يَدِي؛ تَضْطَجِعُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَتَضَوَّرُونَ مِنَ الأَلَمِ.
