Isaiah 51

1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.

١ اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا مُلْتَمِسِي الْبِرِّ، السَّاعِينَ وَرَاءَ الرَّبِّ: تَلَفَّتُوا إِلَى الصَّخْرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ نُحِتُّمْ، وَإِلَى الْمَحْجَرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ اقْتُلِعْتُمْ.

2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.

٢ انْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ وَإِلَى سَارَةَ الَّتِي أَنْجَبَتْكُمْ، فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُهُ حِينَ كَانَ فَرْداً وَاحِداً وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

3 For the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

٣ الرَّبُّ يُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ وَيُعَزِّي خَرَائِبَهَا، وَيُحَوِّلُ قَفْرَهَا إِلَى عَدْنٍ وَصَحْرَاءَهَا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ رَائِعَةٍ، فَتَفِيضُ بِالْفَرَحِ وَالْغِبْطَةِ وَالشُّكْرِ وَهُتَافِ تَرْنِيمٍ.

4 Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.

٤ اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا شَعْبِي، وَأَصْغِي إِلَيَّ يَا أُمَّتِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ تَصْدُرُ مِنِّي، وَعَدْلِي يُصْبِحُ نُوراً لِلشُّعُوبِ.

5 My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.

٥ بِرِّي بَاتَ قَرِيباً، وَتَجَلَّى خَلاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ تَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ، وَإِيَّايَ تَرْتَقِبُ الْجَزَائِرُ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ بِرَجَاءٍ ذِرَاعِي.

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished.

٦ ارْفَعُوا عُيُونَكُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَفَرَّسُوا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، فَإِنَّ السَمَاوَاتِ كَدُخَانٍ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَالأَرْضَ كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، وَيَبِيدُ سُكَّانُهَا كَالذُّبَابِ. أَمَّا خَلاصِي فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وِبِرِّي يَثْبُتُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

7 Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.

٧ اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيَّ يَا عَارِفِي الْبِرِّ، أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. لَا تَخْشَوْا تَعْيِيرَ النَّاسِ وَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا مِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ،

8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations.

٨ لأَنَّ الْعُثَّ يَأْكُلُهُمْ كَثَوْبٍ، وَيَقْرِضُهُمُ السُّوسُ كَالصُّوفِ، أَمَّا بِرِّي فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَخَلاصِي يَثْبُتُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon?

٩ اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي، تَسَرْبَلِي بِالْقُوَّةِ يَا ذِرَاعَ الرَّبِّ، اسْتَيْقِظِي كَالْعَهْدِ بِكِ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، وَفِي الأَجْيَالِ الْغَابِرَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي مَزَّقْتِ رَهَبَ إِرْباً إِرْباً، وَطَعَنْتِ التِّنِّينَ؟

10 Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

١٠ أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الَّتِي جَفَّفْتِ الْبَحْرَ، وَمِيَاهَ اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ، وَجَعَلْتِ أَعْمَاقَ الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقاً يَعْبُرُ فَوْقَهُ الْمَفْدِيُّونَ؟

11 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

١١ سَيَرْجِعُ الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِتَرَنُّمٍ، يُكَلِّلُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ، فَتَطْغَى عَلَيْهِمْ بَهْجَةٌ وَغِبْطَةٌ، أَمَّا الْحُزْنُ وَالتَّنَهُّدُ فَيَهْرُبَانِ بَعِيداً.

12 I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;

١٢ أَنَا، أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ، فَمَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخْشَيْ إِنْسَاناً فَانِياً أَوْ بَشَراً يَبِيدُونَ كَالْعُشْبِ؟

13 And hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?

١٣ وَنَسِيتِ الرَّبَّ صَانِعَكِ، بَاسِطَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُرْسِي قَوَاعِدِ الأَرْضِ فَتَظَلِّينَ فِي رُعْبٍ دَائِمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ الْمُضَايِقِ حِينَ يُوَطِّدُ الْعَزْمَ عَلَى التَّدْمِيرِ؟ أَيْنَ هُوَ غَضَبُ الْمُضَايِقِ؟

14 He that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.

١٤ عَمَّا قَرِيبٍ يُطْلَقُ سَرَاحُ الْمُنْحَنِي فَلا يَمُوتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ وَلا يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى الْخُبْزِ.

15 For I am the LORD thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is His name.

١٥ لأَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ الَّذِي يُهَيِّجُ الْبَحْرَ فَتَصْطَخِبُ أَمْوَاجُهُ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ.

16 And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: 'Thou art My people.'

١٦ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ كَلامِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَوَارَيْتُكَ فِي ظِلِّ يَدِي، لأُقِرَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ فِي مَوْضِعِهَا وَأُرْسِي قَوَاعِدَ الأَرْضِ، وَأَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي.

17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.

١٧ اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي، انْهَضِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَا مَنْ تَجَرَّعَتْ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، يَا مَنْ شَرِبَتْ ثُمَالَةَ كَأْسِ التَّرَنُّحِ.

18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

١٨ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ أَبْنَائِهَا الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مَنْ يَهْدِيهَا، وَلا مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الْبَنِينَ الَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

19 These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?

١٩ لَقَدِ ابْتُلِيتِ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْمِحْنَتَيْنِ، فَمَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ: التَّدْمِيرِ وَالْخَرَابِ، وَالْمَجَاعَةِ وَالسَّيْفِ، فَمَنْ يُعَزِّيكِ؟

20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

٢٠ قَدْ أَعْيَا أَبْنَاؤُكِ وَانْطَرَحُوا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ كُلِّ شَارِعٍ كَوَعْلٍ وَقَعَ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. امْتَلَأُوا مِنْ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ زَجْرِ إِلَهِكِ.

21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine;

٢١ لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا الْمَنْكُوبَةُ، وَالسَّكْرَى وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَمْرٍ.

22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;

٢٢ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ سَيِّدُكِ الرَّبُّ، إِلَهُكِ الَّذِي يُدَافِعُ عَنْ دَعْوَى شَعْبِهِ: هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ التَّرَنُّحِ، وَلَنْ تَجْرَعِي مِنْ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي بَعْدُ.

23 And I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.

٢٣ وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا لَكِ: انْحَنِي حَتَّى نَدُوسَ عَلَيْكِ عَابِرِينَ. فَجَعَلْتِ ظَهْرَكِ لَهُمْ أَرْضاً، وَطَرِيقاً لَهُمْ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِ.
