Isaiah 59

1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear;

١ هَا إِنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ لَمْ تَقْصُرْ عَنْ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ، وَلَمْ تَثْقَلْ أُذُنُهُ عَنْ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ.

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.

٢ بَلْ آثَامُكُمْ صَارَتْ فَاصِلَةً بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ سَتَرَتْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.

٣ لِأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ بِٱلدَّمِ، وَأَصَابِعَكُمْ بِٱلْإِثْمِ. شِفَاهُكُمْ تَكَلَّمَتْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانُكُمْ يَلْهَجُ بِٱلشَّرِّ.

4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth; they trust in vanity, and speak lies, they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

٤ لَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱلْعَدْلِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُحَاكِمُ بِٱلْحَقِّ. يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. قَدْ حَبِلُوا بِتَعَبٍ، وَوَلَدُوا إِثْمًا.

5 They hatch basilisks' eggs, and weave the spider's web; he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

٥ فَقَسُوا بَيْضَ أَفْعَى، وَنَسَجُوا خُيُوطَ ٱلْعَنْكَبُوتِ. ٱلْآكِلُ مِنْ بَيْضِهِمْ يَمُوتُ، وَٱلَّتِي تُكْسَرُ تُخْرِجُ أَفْعَى.

6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall men cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

٦ خُيُوطُهُمْ لَا تَصِيرُ ثَوْبًا، وَلَا يَكْتَسُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْمَالُهُمْ أَعْمَالُ إِثْمٍ، وَفَعْلُ ٱلظُّلْمِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ.

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, desolation and destruction are in their paths.

٧ أَرْجُلُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلشَّرِّ تَجْرِي، وَتُسْرِعُ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلزَّكِيِّ. أَفْكَارُهُمْ أَفْكَارُ إِثْمٍ. فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسَحْقٌ.

8 The way of peace they know not, and there is no right in their goings; they have made them crooked paths, whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.

٨ طَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي مَسَالِكِهِمْ عَدْلٌ. جَعَلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سُبُلًا مُعْوَجَّةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسِيرُ فِيهَا لَا يَعْرِفُ سَلَامًا.

9 Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us; we look for light, but behold darkness, for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

٩ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱبْتَعَدَ ٱلْحَقُّ عَنَّا، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْنَا ٱلْعَدْلُ. نَنْتَظِرُ نُورًا فَإِذَا ظَلَامٌ. ضِيَاءً فَنَسِيرُ فِي ظَلَامٍ دَامِسٍ.

10 We grope for the wall like the blind, yea, as they that have no eyes do we grope; we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; we are in dark places like the dead.

١٠ نَتَلَمَّسُ ٱلْحَائِطَ كَعُمْيٍ، وَكَٱلَّذِي بِلَا أَعْيُنٍ نَتَجَسَّسُ. قَدْ عَثَرْنَا فِي ٱلظُّهْرِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ، فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ كَمَوْتَى.

11 We all growl like bears, and mourn sore like doves; we look for right, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

١١ نَزْأَرُ كُلُّنَا كَدُبَّةٍ، وَكَحَمَامٍ هَدْرًا نَهْدِرُ. نَنْتَظِرُ عَدْلًا وَلَيْسَ هُوَ، وَخَلَاصًا فَيَبْتَعِدُ عَنَّا.

12 For our transgressions are multiplied before Thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are present to us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:

١٢ لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ أَمَامَكَ، وَخَطَايَانَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا، لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا مَعَنَا، وَآثَامَنَا نَعْرِفُهَا.

13 Transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and perverseness, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

١٣ تَعَدَّيْنَا وَكَذِبْنَا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَحِدْنَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ إِلَهِنَا. تَكَلَّمْنَا بِٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ. حَبِلْنَا وَلَهَجْنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَلْبِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ.

14 And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth hath stumbled in the broad place, and uprightness cannot enter.

١٤ وَقَدِ ٱرْتَدَّ ٱلْحَقُّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَٱلْعَدْلُ يَقِفُ بَعِيدًا. لِأَنَّ ٱلصِّدْقَ سَقَطَ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ، وَٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلدُّخُولَ.

15 And truth is lacking, and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice;

١٥ وَصَارَ ٱلصِّدْقُ مَعْدُومًا، وَٱلْحَائِدُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُسْلَبُ. فَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ وَسَاءَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَدْلٌ.

16 And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him;

١٦ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَتَحَيَّرَ مِنْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَفِيعٌ. فَخَلَّصَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَبِرُّهُ هُوَ عَضَدَهُ.

17 And He put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and a helmet of salvation upon His head, and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

١٧ فَلَبِسَ ٱلْبِرَّ كَدِرْعٍ، وَخُوذَةَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابَ ٱلِٱنْتِقَامِ كَلِبَاسٍ، وَٱكْتَسَى بِٱلْغَيْرَةِ كَرِدَاءٍ.

18 According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; to the islands He will repay recompense.

١٨ حَسَبَ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ هَكَذَا يُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيهِ سَخَطًا، وَأَعْدَاءَهُ عِقَابًا. جَزَاءً يُجَازِي ٱلْجَزَائِرَ.

19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; for distress will come in like a flood, which the breath of the LORD driveth.

١٩ فَيَخَافُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ مَجْدَهُ. عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي ٱلْعَدُوُّ كَنَهْرٍ فَنَفْخَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَدْفَعُهُ.

20 And a redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

٢٠ «وَيَأْتِي ٱلْفَادِي إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَإِلَى ٱلتَّائِبِينَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ فِي يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

21 And as for Me, this is My covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

٢١ أَمَّا أَنَا فَهَذَا عَهْدِي مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: رُوحِي ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ، وَكَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُهُ فِي فَمِكَ لَا يَزُولُ مِنْ فَمِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِ نَسْلِكَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنَ ٱلْآنَ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.
