< Isaiah 45 >

1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ لِكُورَشَ مُخْتَارِهِ، الَّذِي أَخَذْتُ بِيَمِينِهِ حَتَّى أُخْضِعَ أَمَامَهُ أُمَماً وَأَكْسِرَ شَوْكَةَ مُلُوكٍ، لأَفْتَحَ أَمَامَهُ كُوَّاتٍ وَلا تُوْصَدُ فِي وَجْهِهِ مَصَارِيعُ.١
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
هَا أَنَا أَتَقَدَّمُكَ لأُسَوِّيَ الْجِبَالَ بِالأَرْضِ وَأُحَطِّمَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَأُكَسِّرَ مَغَالِيقَ الْحَدِيدِ،٢
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.
وَأَهَبَكَ كُنُوزَ الأَقْبِيَةِ الْمُظْلِمَةِ وَذَخَائِرَ الْمَخَابِئِ، لِتَعْرِفَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي دَعَاكَ بِاسْمِكَ.٣
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
لأَجْلِ عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ مُخْتَارِي دَعَوْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ، لَقَّبْتُكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَعْرِفَنِي.٤
5 I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي. لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ، شَدَّدْتُكَ مَعَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْنِي.٥
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else.
حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ النَّاسُ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ وَمِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.٦
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
أَنَا مُبْدِعُ النُّورِ وَخَالِقُ الظُّلْمَةِ، أَنَا صَانِعُ الْخَيْرِ وَخَالِقُ الضُّرِّ، أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ فَاعِلُ كُلِّ هَذِهِ.٧
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
اهْطِلِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَأَمْطِرِي يَا غُيُومُ بِرّاً، لِتَنْفَتِحِ الأَرضُ حَتَّى يُثْمِرَ الْخَلاصُ، وَيَنْبُتَ الْبِرُّ. أَنَا خَلَقْتُهُ.٨
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يُخَاصِمُ صَانِعَهُ وَهُوَ لَيْسَ سِوَى قِطْعَةِ خَزَفٍ مِنْ خَزَفِ الأَرْضِ. أَيَقُولُ الطِّينُ لِجَابِلِهِ: مَاذَا تَصْنَعُ؟ أَوْ إِنَّ مَا عَمِلْتَهُ تَنْقُصُهُ يَدَانِ؟٩
10 Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَقُولُ لِوَالِدٍ: مَاذَا أَنْجَبْتَ؟ أَوْ لأُمٍّ: بِمَاذَا تَتَمَخَّضِينَ؟١٠
11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَانِعُهُ: أَتَسْأَلُونَنِي فِي سِيَاقِ الأَحْدَاثِ الآتِيَةِ عَنْ أَبْنَائِي، أَمْ تُوصُونَنِي بِعَمَلِ يَدِي؟١١
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
لَقَدْ صَنَعْتُ الأَرْضَ وَخَلَقْتُ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَيْهَا، وَيَدَايَ هُمَا اللَّتَانِ بَسَطَتَا السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأَنَا أَمَرْتُ كَوَاكِبَهَا.١٢
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
أَنَا أَقَمْتُ كُورُشَ لِيُجْرِيَ الْعَدْلَ، وَأَنَا أُمَهِّدُ طُرُقَهُ كُلَّهَا، فَيَبْنِي مَدِينَتِي وَيُطْلِقُ سَرَاحَ أَسْرَاي، لَا بِثَمَنٍ وَلا لِقَاءَ مُكَافَأَةٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.١٣
14 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no God.
يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: يَأْتِي إِلَيْكُمُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَالْكُوشِيُّونَ وَالسَّبَئِيُّونَ بِكُلِّ مَا يَمْلِكُونَهُ مِنْ ثَرْوَاتٍ، وَيَضَعُونَهَا عِنْدَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، وَيَصِيرُونَ رَعَايَاكُمْ، يَمْشُونَ خَلْفَكُمْ مُصَفَّدِينَ بِالأَغْلالِ، وَيَخُرُّونَ سَاجِدِينَ أَمَامَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: حَقّاً إنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَكُمْ ولا إِلَهَ سِوَى إِلَهِكُمْ. هُوَ وَحْدَهُ الإِلَهُ لَا غَيْرَهُ.١٤
15 Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
حَقّاً أَنْتَ هُوَ إِلَهٌ يَحْجِبُ نَفْسَهُ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُخَلِّصُ.١٥
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together [that are] makers of idols.
لَقَدْ خَزُوا وَخَجِلُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ، وَمَضَى صَانِعُو الأَصْنَامِ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَ أَذْيَالَ الْعَارِ.١٦
17 [But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَقَدْ خَلَّصَهُ الرَّبُّ بِخَلاصٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، وَلَنْ يَلْحَقَكُمْ عَارٌ أَوْ خِزْيٌ مَدَى الدُّهُورِ،١٧
18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
لأَنَّ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، إِنَّهُ اللهُ مَكَوِّنُ الأَرْضِ وَصَانِعُهَا، وَمُرْسِي قَوَاعِدِهَا: لَمْ يَخْلُقْهَا لِتَكُونَ خَوَاءً، بَلْ لِتُصْبِحَ آهِلَةً بِسُكَّانِهَا. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.١٨
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ خِفْيَةً بِكَلامِي فِي أَرْضِ الْظُّلْمَةِ، وَلَمْ أَطْلُبْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَلْتَمِسُونِي بَاطِلاً. أَنَا الرَّبُّ النَّاطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ، أُعْلِنُ مَا هُوَ صِدْقٌ.١٩
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.
اجْتَمِعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا. اقْتَرِبُوا مَعاً أَيُّهَا النَّاجُونَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ، فَإِنَّ الْجُهَّالَ وَحْدَهُمْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الأَصْنَامَ الْخَشَبِيَّةَ وَيُوَاظِبُونَ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ لإِلَهٍ لَا يُخَلِّصُ.٢٠
21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
أَعْلِنُوا، وَاعْرِضُوا دَعْوَاكُمْ. لِيَتَشَاوَرُوا مَعاً. مَنْ أَنْبَأَ بِهَذَا مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَمَنْ أَخْبَرَ بِهِ مِنْ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا الرَّبُّ وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي؟ بَارٌّ وَمُخَلِّصٌ، وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.٢١
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.
الْتَفِتُوا إِلَيَّ وَاخْلُصُوا يَا جَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، لأَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ وَلَيسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.٢٢
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
لَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِذَاتِي، وَخَرَجَتْ مِنْ فَمِي، بِكُلِّ صِدْقٍ، كَلِمَةٌ لَا تُنْقَضُ: إِنَّهُ سَتَجْثُو لِي كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ وَيُقْسِمُ بِي كُلُّ لِسَانٍ.٢٣
24 Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
وَيَقُولُونَ عَنِّي: إِنَّمَا بِالرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ الْبِرُّ وَالْقُوَّةُ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَغْتَاظُ مِنْه يَأْتِي إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَيَخْزَى.٢٤
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
أَمَّا ذُرِّيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَبِالرَّبِّ يَتَبَرَّرُونَ وَبِهِ يَزْهُونَ.٢٥
