< Isaiah 58 >

1 Crye aloude, spare not: lift vp thy voyce like a trumpet, and shewe my people their transgression, and to the house of Iaakob, their sinnes.
نَادِ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِكَ، لَا تَصْمُتْ. اهْتُفْ بِصَوْتِكَ كَنَفِيرِ بُوقٍ، وَأَخْبِرْ شَعْبِي بِإِثْمِهِمْ، وَذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ.١
2 Yet they seeke me dayly, and will knowe my wayes, euen as a nation that did righteously, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God: they aske of me the ordinances of iustice: they wil drawe neere vnto God, saying,
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَلْتَمِسُونَنِي يَوْمِيًّا، وَيُسَرُّونَ بِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِي وَكَأَنَّهُمْ أُمَّةٌ تَصْنَعُ بِرّاً، وَكَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُهْمِلُوا أَحْكَامَ إِلَهِهِمْ، يَطْلُبُونَ مِنِّي أَحْكَامَ بِرٍّ، وَيَغْتَبِطُونَ بِالتَّقَرُّبِ مِنَ اللهِ.٢
3 Wherefore haue we fasted, and thou seest it not? we haue punished our selues, and thou regardest it not. Beholde, in the day of your fast you will seeke your will, and require all your dettes.
وَيَسْأَلُونَ: مَا بَالُنَا صُمْنَا وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُلاحِظْ، وَتَذَلَّلْنَا وَلَمْ تَحْفِلْ بِذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّكُمْ فِي يَوْمِ صَوْمِكُمْ تَلْتَمِسُونَ مَسَرَّةَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَتُسَخِّرُونَ جَمِيعَ عُمَّالِكُمْ.٣
4 Beholde, ye fast to strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickednesse: ye shall not fast as ye doe to day, to make your voyce to be heard aboue.
وَهَا أَنْتُمْ تَصُومُونَ لِكَيْ تَتَخَاصَمُوا وَتَتَشَاجَرُوا فَقَطْ، وَتَتَضَارَبُوا بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَثِيمَةٍ. إِنَّ مِثْلَ صَوْمِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ لَا يَجْعَلُ أَصْوَاتَكُمْ مَسْمُوعَةً فِي الْعَلاءِ.٤
5 Is it such a fast that I haue chosen, that a man should afflict his soule for a day, and to bowe downe his head, as a bull rush, and to lie downe in sackecloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fasting, or an acceptable day to the Lord?
أَيَكُونُ الصَّوْمُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ فِي إِذْلالِ الْمَرْءِ نَفْسَهُ يَوْماً، أَوْ فِي إِحْنَاءِ رَأْسِهِ كَالْقَصَبَةِ، أَوِ افْتِرَاشِ الْمِسْحِ وَالرَّمَادِ؟ أَتَدْعُو هَذَا صَوْماً مَقْبُولاً لَدَى الرَّبِّ؟٥
6 Is not this the fasting, that I haue chosen, to loose the bandes of wickednes, to take off the heauie burdens, and to let the oppressed goe free, and that ye breake euery yoke?
أَلَيْسَ الصَّوْمُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ يَكُونُ فِي فَكِّ قُيُودِ الشَّرِّ، وَحَلِّ عُقَدِ النِّيرِ، وَإِطْلاقِ سَرَاحِ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ، وَتَحْطِيمِ كُلِّ نِيرٍ؟٦
7 Is it not to deale thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poore that wander, vnto thine house? when thou seest the naked, that thou couer him, and hide not thy selfe from thine owne flesh?
أَلا يَكُونُ فِي مُشَاطَرَةِ خُبْزِكَ مَعَ الْجَائِعِ، وَإِيْوَاءِ الْفَقِيرِ الْمُتَشَرِّدِ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَكُسْوَةِ الْعُرْيَانِ الَّذِي تَلْتَقِيهِ، وَعَدَمِ التَّغَاضِي عَنْ قَرِيبِكَ الْبَائِسِ؟٧
8 Then shall thy light breake foorth as the morning, and thine health shall grow speedily: thy righteousnes shall goe before thee, and the glorie of the Lord shall embrace thee.
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَشِعُّ نُورُكَ كَالصَّبَاحِ، وَتُزْهِرُ عَافِيَتُكَ سَرِيعاً، وَيَتَقَدَّمُكَ بِرُّكَ، وَيَحْرُسُ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مُؤَخَّرَةَ سَاقَتِكَ.٨
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answere: thou shalt cry and hee shall say, Here I am: if thou take away from the mids of thee the yoke, the putting foorth of the finger, and wicked speaking:
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَدْعُو فَيَسْتَجِيبُ الرَّبُّ. تَسْتَغِيثُ فَيَقُولُ هَا أَنَا. إِنْ أَزَلْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِ بَيْتِكَ النِّيرَ، وَالإِيمَاءَ بِالأُصْبُعِ احْتِقَاراً، وَالنُّطْقَ بِالشَّرِّ،٩
10 If thou powre out thy soule to the hungrie, and refresh the troubled soule: then shall thy light spring out in the darkenes, and thy darkenes shalbe as the noone day.
إِن بَذَلْتَ نَفْسَكَ لِلْجَائِعِ، وَأَشْبَعْتَ حَاجَةَ الذَّلِيلِ، فَإِنَّ نُورَكَ يُشْرِقُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ، وَلَيْلَكَ الدَّامِسَ يُصْبِحُ كَالظُّهْرِ،١٠
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfie thy soule in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watred garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters faile not.
وَيَهْدِيكَ الرَّبُّ دَائِماً وَيَسُدُّ حَاجَتَكَ حَتَّى فِي زَمَنِ الْقَحْطِ وَالأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ، فَيُقَوِّي عِظَامَكَ فَتُصْبِحُ كَرَوْضَةٍ مَرْوِيَّةٍ، وَكَجَدْوَلِ مَاءٍ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ،١١
12 And they shalbe of thee, that shall builde the olde waste places: thou shalt rayse vp the foundations for many generations, and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach and the restorer of the pathes to dwell in.
وَيَبْنِي أَوْلادُكَ الْخَرَائِبَ الْقَدِيمَةَ وَيُقِيمُونَ أَسَاسَاتِهَا، وَيُسَمُّونَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي بَنَى أَسْوَارَهُ وَرَمَّمَ أَحْيَاءَ مُدُنِهِ.١٢
13 If thou turne away thy foote from the Sabbath, from doing thy will on mine holy day, and call the Sabbath a delite, to consecrate it, as glorious to the Lord, and shalt honour him, not doing thine owne wayes, nor seeking thine owne will, nor speaking a vaine word,
إِنْ كَفَفْتَ قَدَمَكَ عَنْ نَقْضِ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ، وَعَنِ السَّعْيِ وَرَاءَ مَرَامِكَ فِي يَوْمِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَدَعَوْتَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ يَوْمَ مَسَرَّةٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَجَعَلْتَهُ يَوْماً مُكَرَّماً لِلهِ. إِنْ أَكْرَمْتَهُ وَلَمْ تَسْلُكْ حَسَبَ أَهْوَائِكَ أَوْ تَلْتَمِسْ قَضَاءَ مَصَالِحِكَ، أَوْ تُنْفِقْهُ فِي لَغْوِ الْكَلامِ،١٣
14 Then shalt thou delite in the Lord, and I wil cause thee to mount vpon the hie places of the earth, and feede thee with the heritage of Iaakob thy father: for the mouth of ye Lord hath spoken it.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَبْتَهِجُ بِالرَّبِّ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ تَمْتَطِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِ الأَرْضِ، وَأُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِمِيرَاثِ يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيكَ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ.١٤
