Isaiah 66

1 Thus saith the LORD: The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool; where is the house that ye may build unto Me? And where is the place that may be My resting-place?

١ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ كُرْسِيِّي، وَٱلْأَرْضُ مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيَّ. أَيْنَ ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي تَبْنُونَ لِي؟ وَأَيْنَ مَكَانُ رَاحَتِي؟

2 For all these things hath My hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith the LORD; but on this man will I look, even on him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word.

٢ وَكُلُّ هَذِهِ صَنَعَتْهَا يَدِي، فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ هَذِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَإِلَى هَذَا أَنْظُرُ: إِلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقِ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْمُرْتَعِدِ مِنْ كَلَامِي.

3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he broke a dog's neck; he that offereth a meal-offering, as if he offered swine's blood; he that maketh a memorial-offering of frankincense, as if he blessed an idol; according as they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations;

٣ مَنْ يَذْبَحُ ثَوْرًا فَهُوَ قَاتِلُ إِنْسَانٍ. مَنْ يَذْبَحُ شَاةً فَهُوَ نَاحِرُ كَلْبٍ. مَنْ يُصْعِدُ تَقْدِمَةً يُصْعِدُ دَمَ خِنْزِيرٍ. مَنْ أَحْرَقَ لُبَانًا فَهُوَ مُبَارِكٌ وَثَنًا. بَلْ هُمُ ٱخْتَارُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَبِمَكْرَهَاتِهِمْ سُرَّتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ.

4 Even so I will choose their mockings, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear, but they did that which was evil in Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

٤ فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَخْتَارُ مَصَائِبَهُمْ، وَمَخَاوِفَهُمْ أَجْلِبُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا. بَلْ عَمِلُوا ٱلْقَبِيحَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَٱخْتَارُوا مَا لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ».

5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at His word: Your brethren that hate you, that cast you out for My name's sake, have said: 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may gaze upon your joy', but they shall be ashamed.

٥ اِسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْتَعِدُونَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ: «قَالَ إِخْوَتُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْغَضُوكُمْ وَطَرَدُوكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي: لِيَتَمَجَّدِ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَظْهَرُ لِفَرَحِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَيَخْزَوْنَ.

6 Hark! an uproar from the city, Hark! it cometh from the temple, Hark! the LORD rendereth recompense to His enemies.

٦ صَوْتُ ضَجِيجٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، صَوْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُجَازِيًا أَعْدَاءَهُ.

7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.

٧ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا ٱلطَّلْقُ وَلَدَتْ. قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ وَلَدَتْ ذَكَرًا.

8 Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Is a land born in one day? Is a nation brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

٨ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا؟ مَنْ رَأَى مِثْلَ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ تَمْخَضُ بِلَادٌ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، أَوْ تُولَدُ أُمَّةٌ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ فَقَدْ مَخَضَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ، بَلْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِيهَا!

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD; Shall I that cause to bring forth shut the womb? saith thy God.

٩ هَلْ أَنَا أُمْخِضُ وَلَا أُوَلِّدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَوْ أَنَا ٱلْمُوَلِّدُ هَلْ أُغْلِقُ ٱلرَّحِمَ، قَالَ إِلَهُكِ؟

10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her;

١٠ ٱفْرَحُوا مَعَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَٱبْتَهِجُوا مَعَهَا، يَا جَمِيعَ مُحِبِّيهَا. اِفْرَحُوا مَعَهَا فَرَحًا، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّائِحِينَ عَلَيْهَا،

11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolations; that ye may drink deeply with delight of the abundance of her glory.

١١ لِكَيْ تَرْضَعُوا وَتَشْبَعُوا مِنْ ثَدْيِ تَعْزِيَاتِهَا، لِكَيْ تَعْصِرُوا وَتَتَلَذَّذُوا مِنْ دِرَّةِ مَجْدِهَا».

12 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream, and ye shall suck thereof: Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.

١٢ لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أُدِيرُ عَلَيْهَا سَلَامًا كَنَهْرٍ، وَمَجْدَ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَسَيْلٍ جَارِفٍ، فَتَرْضَعُونَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَيْدِي تُحْمَلُونَ وَعَلَى ٱلرُّكْبَتَيْنِ تُدَلَّلُونَ.

13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

١٣ كَإِنْسَانٍ تُعَزِّيهِ أُمُّهُ هَكَذَا أُعَزِّيكُمْ أَنَا، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعَزَّوْنَ.

14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like young grass; and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward His servants, and He will have indignation against His enemies.

١٤ فَتَرَوْنَ وَتَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَتَزْهُو عِظَامُكُمْ كَٱلْعُشْبِ، وَتُعْرَفُ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَيَحْنَقُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

15 For, behold, the LORD will come in fire, and His chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.

١٥ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلنَّارِ يَأْتِي، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُ كَزَوْبَعَةٍ لِيَرُدَّ بِحُمُوٍّ غَضَبَهُ، وَزَجْرَهُ بِلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

16 For by fire will the LORD contend, and by His sword with all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

١٦ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ بِٱلنَّارِ يُعَاقِبُ وَبِسَيْفِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، وَيَكْثُرُ قَتْلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

17 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the detestable thing, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

١٧ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَدِّسُونَ وَيُطَهِّرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي ٱلْجَنَّاتِ وَرَاءَ وَاحِدٍ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ، آكِلِينَ لَحْمَ ٱلْخِنْزِيرِ وَٱلرِّجْسَ وَٱلْجُرَذَ، يَفْنَوْنَ مَعًا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

18 For I know their works and their thoughts; the time cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see My glory.

١٨ وَأَنَا أُجَازِي أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَأَفْكَارَهُمْ. حَدَثَ لِجَمْعِ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ، فَيَأْتُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ مَجْدِي.

19 And I will work a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard My fame, neither have seen My glory; and they shall declare My glory among the nations.

١٩ وَأَجْعَلُ فِيهِمْ آيَةً، وَأُرْسِلُ مِنْهُمْ نَاجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ وَفُولَ وَلُودَ ٱلنَّازِعِينَ فِي ٱلْقَوْسِ، إِلَى تُوبَالَ وَيَاوَانَ، إِلَى ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَسْمَعْ خَبَرِي وَلَا رَأَتْ مَجْدِي، فَيُخْبِرُونَ بِمَجْدِي بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an offering unto the LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in fitters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

٢٠ وَيُحْضِرُونَ كُلَّ إِخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ، عَلَى خَيْلٍ وَبِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِهَوَادِجَ وَبِغَالٍ وَهُجُنٍ إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، كَمَا يُحْضِرُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَقْدِمَةً فِي إِنَاءٍ طَاهِرٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

21 And of them also will I take for the priests and for the Levites, saith the LORD.

٢١ وَأَتَّخِذُ أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ كَهَنَةً وَلَاوِيِّينَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

٢٢ لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا صَانِعٌ تَثْبُتُ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَكَذَا يَثْبُتُ نَسْلُكُمْ وَٱسْمُكُمْ.

23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.

٢٣ وَيَكُونُ مِنْ هِلَالٍ إِلَى هِلَالٍ وَمِنْ سَبْتٍ إِلَى سَبْتٍ، أَنَّ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ يَأْتِي لِيَسْجُدَ أَمَامِي، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have rebelled against Me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

٢٤ وَيَخْرُجُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ جُثَثَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ، لِأَنَّ دُودَهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَنَارَهُمْ لَا تُطْفَأُ، وَيَكُونُونَ رَذَالَةً لِكُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ».
