< Isaiah 65 >

1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
«قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُ ذَاتِي لِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي، وَوَجَدَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْنِي، وَقُلْتُ:’هَأَنَذَا‘لأُمَّةٍ لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِي.١
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ صَالِحٍ، تَابِعِينَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ،٢
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
شَعْبٍ يُثَابِرُ عَلَى إِغَاظَتِي فِي وَجْهِي، إِذْ يُقَرِّبُ ذَبَائِحَ لأَصْنَامِهِ فِي الْحَدَائِقِ وَيُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً فَوْقَ مَذَابِحِ الطُّوبِ.٣
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ الْمَقَابِرِ وَيَبِيتُ اللَّيْلَ فِي أَمَاكِنَ سِرِّيَّةٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَفِي أَوَانِيهِ مَرَقُ لُحُومٍ نَجِسَةٍ.٤
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
وَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمْ لِلآخَرِ:’لَا تَقْتَرِبْ مِنِّي لِئَلَّا تُدَنِّسَنِي، لأَنِّي أَقْدَسُ مِنْكَ‘(فَيُثِيرُونَ غَيْظِي) كَدُخَانٍ فِي أَنْفِي وَنَارٍ تَتَّقِدُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ.٥
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
انْظُرُوا قَدْ كُتِبَ أَمَامِي: لَنْ أَصْمُتَ بَلْ أُجَازِي، وَأُلْقِي فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ٦
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith YHWH, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
خَطَايَاهُمْ وَخَطَايَا آبَائِهِمْ مَعاً». يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ «لأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَأَهَانُونِي عَلَى الآكَامِ، فَإِنِّي أَكِيلُ أَعْمَالَهُمُ الأُولَى وَأَطْرَحُهَا فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ».٧
8 Thus saith YHWH, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا أَنَّ (الكَرَّامَ) لَا يَطْرَحُ العُنْقُودَ الفَاسِدَ إِذْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّ فِي عِنَبِهِ بَعْضَ الْخَمْرِ الطَيِّبِ، كَذَلِكَ لَنْ أَطْرَحَ مِنْ أَمَامِي كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِئَلَّا أَقْضِيَ عَلَى خُدَّامِي جَمِيعاً.٨
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
بَلْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِ يَعْقُوبَ ذُرِّيَّةً، وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا وَارِثاً لِجِبَالِي، فَيَمْلِكُهَا مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُقِيمُ فِيهَا عَبِيدِي،٩
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُ شَارُونَ مَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ، وَوَادِي عَخُورَ مَرْبِضَ بَقَرٍ لِشَعْبِي الَّذِي طَلَبَنِي».١٠
11 But ye are they that forsake YHWH, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
«أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ نَبَذْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَنَسِيتُمْ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسَ، وَهَيَّأْتُمْ مَذْبَحاً لإِلَهِ’الْحَظِّ‘وَمَلَأْتُمُ الْكُؤُوسَ خَمْراً مَمْزُوجَةً لإِلَهِ’الْقَدَرِ‘،١١
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
فَأجْعَلُ مَصِيرَكُمُ الْهَلاكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتَسْجُدُونَ جَمِيعاً لِذَابِحِيكُمْ لأَنَّنِي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَارْتَكَبْتُمُ الشَّرَّ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنِّي وَاخْتَرْتُمْ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ».١٢
13 Therefore thus saith the Master YHWH, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا عَبِيدِي يَأْكُلُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجُوعُونَ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَظْمَأُونَ، وَيَفْرَحُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَخْزَوْنَ،١٣
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ فِي غِبْطَةِ الْقَلْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ تُعْوِلُونَ مِنْ أَسَى الْقَلْبِ، وَتُوَلْوِلُونَ مِنِ انْكِسَارِ الرُّوحِ،١٤
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Master YHWH shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
وَتُخْلِفُونَ اسْمَكُمْ لَعْنَةً عَلَى شِفَاهِ مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُمِيتُكُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُطْلِقُ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ اسْماً آخَرَ.١٥
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the Elohim of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the Elohim of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، وَمَنْ يُقْسِمُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُقْسِمُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَاتِ الأُولَى قَدْ نُسِيَتْ وَاحْتَجَبَتْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ.١٦
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
لأَنَّنِي هَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ سَمَاوَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ الأُولَى فَلا تَعُودُ تَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالٍ١٧
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
إِنَّمَا افْرَحُوا وَابْتَهِجُوا إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِمَا أَنَا خَالِقُهُ، فَهَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَهْجَةً، وَشَعْبَهَا فَرَحاً.١٨
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَغْتَبِطُ بِشَعْبِي، وَلا يَعُودُ يُسْمَعُ فِيهَا صَوْتُ بُكَاءٍ أَوْ نَحِيبٍ،١٩
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
وَلا يَكُونُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ طِفْلٌ لَا يَعِيشُ سِوَى أَيَّامٍ قَلائِلَ، أَوْ شَيْخٌ لَا يَسْتَوْفِي أَيَّامَهُ. وَمَنْ يَمُوتُ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ يُعْتَبَرُ فَتىً، وَمَنْ لَا يَبْلُغُهَا يَكُونُ مَلْعُوناً.٢٠
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
يَغْرِسُ النَّاسُ كُرُومَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَ ثِمَارَهَا، وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَيُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا،٢١
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
لَا يَبْنُونَ لِيَأْتِيَ آخَرُ فَيَسْكُنَ فِيهَا، وَلا يَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً لِيَجْنِيَهَا آخَرُ، لأَنَّ أَيَّامَ شَعْبِي تَكُونُ مَدِيدَةً كَأَيَّامِ الشَّجَرِ، وَيَتَمَتَّعُ مُخْتَارِيَّ بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ.٢٢
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of YHWH, and their offspring with them.
فَهُمْ لَنْ يَتْعَبُوا بَاطِلاً وَلا تُنْجِبُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ ذُرِّيَّةَ مُبَارَكِي الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَبَارَكُ أَوْلادُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ.٢٣
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوا أَسْتَجِيبُ، وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أُنْصِتُ إِلَيْهِمْ.٢٤
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith YHWH.
وَيَرْعَى الذِّئْبُ وَالْحَمَلُ مَعاً، وَيَأْكُلُ الأَسَدُ التِّبْنَ كَالْبَقَرِ، وَتَأْكُلُ الْحَيَّةُ التُّرَابَ. لَا يُؤْذُونَ وَلا يُهْلِكُونَ فِي كُلِّ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.٢٥
