< Isaiah 42 >

1 Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the nations.
هُوَذَا عَبْدِي الَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي الَّذِي ابْتَهَجَتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ لِيَسُوسَ الأُمَمَ بِالْعَدْلِ.١
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
لَا يَصِيحُ وَلا يَصْرُخُ وَلا يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.٢
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the truth.
لَا يَكْسِرُ قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً، وَفَتِيلَةً مُدَخِّنَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِنَّمَا بِأَمَانَةٍ يُجْرِي عَدْلاً.٣
4 He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching.
لَا يَكِلُّ وَلا تُثَبَّطُ لَهُ هِمَّةٌ حَتَّى يُرَسِّخَ الْعَدْلَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ الْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ.٤
5 Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it, He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk 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 have called thee in righteousness, and have taken hold of thy hand, and kept thee, and set thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
«أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِالْبِرِّ. أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِكَ وَحَافَظْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْتُكَ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُوراً لِلأُمَمِ٦
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيِ، وَتُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ الْمَأْسُورِينَ فِي السِّجْنِ، وَتُحَرِّرَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي ظُلْمَةِ الْحَبْسِ.٧
8 I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَهَذَا اسْمِي. لَا أُعْطِي مَجْدِي لِآخَرَ، وَلا حَمْدِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.٨
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
هَا هِيَ النُّبُوءَاتُ السَّالِفَةُ تَتَحَقَّقُ، وَأُخْرَى جَدِيدَةٌ أُعْلِنُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْبِئُ بِها قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ».٩
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, 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 wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
لِتَهْتِفِ الصَّحْرَاءُ وَمُدُنُهَا، وَدِيَارُ قِيدَارَ الْمَأْهُولَةُ. لِيَتَغَنَّ بِفَرَحٍ أَهْلُ سَالِعَ وَلْيَهْتِفُوا مِنْ قِمَمِ الْجِبَالِ.١١
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare His praise in the islands.
ولْيُمَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ وَيُذِيعُوا حَمْدَهُ فِي الْجَزَائِرِ.١٢
13 The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, He will stir up jealousy like a man of war; He will cry, yea, He will shout aloud, He will prove Himself mighty against His enemies.
يَبْرُزُ الرَّبُّ كَجَبَّارٍ، يَسْتَثِيرُ حَمِيَّتَهُ كَمَا يَسْتَثِيرُهَا الْمُحَارِبُ، وَيُطْلِقُ صَرْخَةَ حَرْبٍ دَاوِيَةً، يُظْهِرُ جَبَرُوتَهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ.١٣
14 I have long time held My peace, I have been still, and refrained Myself; now will I cry like a travailing woman, gasping and panting at once.
لَكَمِ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِالصَّمْتِ، وَلَزِمْتُ السَّكِينَةَ وَلَجَمْتُ نَفْسِي. أَمَّا الآنَ فَأَنَا أَصِيحُ وَأَزْفِرُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ.١٤
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
أُخَرِّبُ الْجِبَالَ وَالتِّلالَ، وَأُيَبِّسُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قَفْرٍ وَأُجَفِّفُ الْبُحَيْرَاتِ،١٥
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, in paths that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them undone.
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 back, greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images: 'Ye are our gods.'
أَمَّا الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ عَلَى الأَصْنَامِ، الْقَائِلُونَ لِلأَوْثَانِ: «أَنْتُمْ آلِهَتُنَا» فَإِنَّهُمْ يُدْبِرُونَ مُجَلَّلِينَ بِالْخِزْيِ.١٧
18 Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الصُّمُّ، انْظُرُوَا أَيُّهَا الْعُمْيُ لِتُبْصِرُوا.١٨
19 Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger that I send? Who is blind as he that is wholehearted, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
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, thou observest not; opening the ears, he heareth not.
تَشْهَدُ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً وَلا تُلاحِظُهَا، وَأُذُنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَسْمَعُ شَيْئاً.٢٠
21 The LORD was pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to make the teaching great and glorious.
قَدْ سُرَّ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ أَنْ يُعَظِّمَ شَرِيعَتَهُ وَيُمَجِّدَهَا،٢١
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled, they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth, for a spoil, and none saith: '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 will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا وَيُنْصِتُ وَيُصْغِي لِلزَّمَنِ الْمُقْبِلِ؟٢٣
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto His law.
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 He poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not, and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
لِذَلِكَ صَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ جَامَ غَضَبِهِ فِي وَطِيسِ الْحَرْبِ فَاكْتَنَفَتْهُمْ بِضِرَامِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُمْ بِنِيرَانِهَا وَلَمْ يَتَّعِظُوا.٢٥
