Isaiah 48
1 Hear all of you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
| «اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ بِٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ مِيَاهِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلْحَالِفِينَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ وَلَا بِٱلْحَقِّ! | ١ |
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ يُسَمَّوْنَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَيُسْنَدُونَ إِلَى إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٢ |
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
| بِٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ أَخْبَرْتُ، وَمِنْ فَمِي خَرَجَتْ وَأَنْبَأْتُ بِهَا. بَغْتَةً صَنَعْتُهَا فَأَتَتْ. | ٣ |
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
| لِمَعْرِفَتِي أَنَّكَ قَاسٍ، وَعَضَلٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ عُنُقُكَ، وَجَبْهَتُكَ نُحَاسٌ، | ٤ |
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed it you: lest you should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
| أَخْبَرْتُكَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ. قَبْلَمَا أَتَتْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: صَنَمِي قَدْ صَنَعَهَا، وَمَنْحُوتِي وَمَسْبُوكِي أَمَرَ بِهَا. | ٥ |
6 You have heard, see all this; and will not all of you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
| قَدْ سَمِعْتَ فَٱنْظُرْ كُلَّهَا. وَأَنْتُمْ أَلَا تُخْبِرُونَ؟ قَدْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِحَدِيثَاتٍ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ، وَبِمَخْفِيَّاتٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا. | ٦ |
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
| ٱلْآنَ خُلِقَتْ وَلَيْسَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ، وَقَبْلَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ بِهَا، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: هَأَنَذَا قَدْ عَرَفْتُهَا. | ٧ |
8 Yea, you heard not; yea, you knew not; yea, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
| لَمْ تَسْمَعْ وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْ، وَمُنْذُ زَمَانٍ لَمْ تَنْفَتِحْ أُذُنُكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَغْدُرُ غَدْرًا، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ سُمِّيتَ عَاصِيًا. | ٨ |
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي أُبَطِّئُ غَضَبِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ فَخْرِي أُمْسِكُ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا أَقْطَعَكَ. | ٩ |
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
| هَأَنَذَا قَدْ نَقَّيْتُكَ وَلَيْسَ بِفِضَّةٍ. ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فِي كُورِ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ. | ١٠ |
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي أَفْعَلُ. لِأَنَّهُ كَيْفَ يُدَنَّسُ ٱسْمِي؟ وَكَرَامَتِي لَا أُعْطِيهَا لِآخَرَ. | ١١ |
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
| «اِسْمَعْ لِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي دَعَوْتُهُ: أَنَا هُوَ. أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، | ١٢ |
13 Mine hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
| وَيَدِي أَسَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَيَمِينِي نَشَرَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. أَنَا أَدْعُوهُنَّ فَيَقِفْنَ مَعًا. | ١٣ |
14 All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these things? The LORD has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
| اِجْتَمِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ أَخْبَرَ بِهَذِهِ؟ قَدْ أَحَبَّهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. يَصْنَعُ مَسَرَّتَهُ بِبَابِلَ، وَيَكُونُ ذِرَاعُهُ عَلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ١٤ |
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
| أَنَا أَنَا تَكَلَّمْتُ وَدَعَوْتُهُ. أَتَيْتُ بِهِ فَيَنْجَحُ طَرِيقُهُ. | ١٥ |
16 Come all of you near unto me, hear all of you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.
| تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعُوا هَذَا: لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ. مُنْذُ وُجُودِهِ أَنَا هُنَاكَ» وَٱلْآنَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْسَلَنِي وَرُوحُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُعَلِّمُكَ لِتَنْتَفِعَ، وَأُمَشِّيكَ فِي طَرِيقٍ تَسْلُكُ فِيهِ. | ١٧ |
18 O that you had hearkened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
| لَيْتَكَ أَصْغَيْتَ لِوَصَايَايَ، فَكَانَ كَنَهْرٍ سَلَامُكَ وَبِرُّكَ كَلُجَجِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ١٨ |
19 Your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
| وَكَانَ كَٱلرَّمْلِ نَسْلُكَ، وَذُرِّيَّةُ أَحْشَائِكَ كَأَحْشَائِهِ. لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَلَا يُبَادُ ٱسْمُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. | ١٩ |
20 Go all of you out of Babylon, flee all of you from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare all of you, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say all of you, The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.
| «اُخْرُجُوا مِنْ بَابِلَ، ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. بِصَوْتِ ٱلتَّرَنُّمِ أَخْبِرُوا. نَادُوا بِهَذَا. شَيِّعُوهُ إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. قُولُوا: قَدْ فَدَى ٱلرَّبُّ عَبْدَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
| وَلَمْ يَعْطَشُوا فِي ٱلْقِفَارِ ٱلَّتِي سَيَّرَهُمْ فِيهَا. أَجْرَى لَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرِ مَاءً، وَشَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَ فَفَاضَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. | ٢١ |
22 There is no peace, says the LORD, unto the wicked.
| لَا سَلَامَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْأَشْرَارِ». | ٢٢ |
