Esias 48
1 Hear these [words], you house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention [of it, but] not with truth, nor with 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 maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name. The former things I have already declared;
| فَإِنَّهُمْ يُسَمَّوْنَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَيُسْنَدُونَ إِلَى إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٢ |
3 and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and [the events] came to pass.
| بِٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ أَخْبَرْتُ، وَمِنْ فَمِي خَرَجَتْ وَأَنْبَأْتُ بِهَا. بَغْتَةً صَنَعْتُهَا فَأَتَتْ. | ٣ |
4 I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead brazen.
| لِمَعْرِفَتِي أَنَّكَ قَاسٍ، وَعَضَلٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ عُنُقُكَ، وَجَبْهَتُكَ نُحَاسٌ، | ٤ |
5 And I told you of old what [should be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.
| أَخْبَرْتُكَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ. قَبْلَمَا أَتَتْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: صَنَمِي قَدْ صَنَعَهَا، وَمَنْحُوتِي وَمَسْبُوكِي أَمَرَ بِهَا. | ٥ |
6 You have heard all this, but you have not known: yet I have made known to you the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and you said not,
| قَدْ سَمِعْتَ فَٱنْظُرْ كُلَّهَا. وَأَنْتُمْ أَلَا تُخْبِرُونَ؟ قَدْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِحَدِيثَاتٍ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ، وَبِمَخْفِيَّاتٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا. | ٦ |
7 Now they come to pass, and not formerly: and you heard not of them in former days: say not you, Yes, I know them.
| ٱلْآنَ خُلِقَتْ وَلَيْسَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ، وَقَبْلَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ بِهَا، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: هَأَنَذَا قَدْ عَرَفْتُهَا. | ٧ |
8 You have neither known, nor understood, neither from the beginning have I opened your ears: for I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and would be called a transgressor even from the womb.
| لَمْ تَسْمَعْ وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْ، وَمُنْذُ زَمَانٍ لَمْ تَنْفَتِحْ أُذُنُكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَغْدُرُ غَدْرًا، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ سُمِّيتَ عَاصِيًا. | ٨ |
9 For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي أُبَطِّئُ غَضَبِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ فَخْرِي أُمْسِكُ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا أَقْطَعَكَ. | ٩ |
10 Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.
| هَأَنَذَا قَدْ نَقَّيْتُكَ وَلَيْسَ بِفِضَّةٍ. ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فِي كُورِ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ. | ١٠ |
11 For mine own sake I will do [this] for you, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي أَفْعَلُ. لِأَنَّهُ كَيْفَ يُدَنَّسُ ٱسْمِي؟ وَكَرَامَتِي لَا أُعْطِيهَا لِآخَرَ. | ١١ |
12 Hear me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call; I am the first, and I endure for ever.
| «اِسْمَعْ لِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي دَعَوْتُهُ: أَنَا هُوَ. أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، | ١٢ |
13 My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky: I will call them, and they shall stand together.
| وَيَدِي أَسَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَيَمِينِي نَشَرَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. أَنَا أَدْعُوهُنَّ فَيَقِفْنَ مَعًا. | ١٣ |
14 And all shall be gathered, and shall hear: who has told them these things? Out of love to you I have fulfilled your desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.
| اِجْتَمِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ أَخْبَرَ بِهَذِهِ؟ قَدْ أَحَبَّهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. يَصْنَعُ مَسَرَّتَهُ بِبَابِلَ، وَيَكُونُ ذِرَاعُهُ عَلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ١٤ |
15 I have spoken, I have called, I have brought him, and made his way prosperous.
| أَنَا أَنَا تَكَلَّمْتُ وَدَعَوْتُهُ. أَتَيْتُ بِهِ فَيَنْجَحُ طَرِيقُهُ. | ١٥ |
16 Draw near to me, and hear you these words; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: when it took place, there was I, and now the Lord, [even] the Lord, 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 that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way wherein you should walk.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُعَلِّمُكَ لِتَنْتَفِعَ، وَأُمَشِّيكَ فِي طَرِيقٍ تَسْلُكُ فِيهِ. | ١٧ |
18 And if you had listened to my commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.
| لَيْتَكَ أَصْغَيْتَ لِوَصَايَايَ، فَكَانَ كَنَهْرٍ سَلَامُكَ وَبِرُّكَ كَلُجَجِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ١٨ |
19 Your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your belly as the dust of the ground: neither now shall you by any means be utterly destroyed, neither shall your name perish before me.
| وَكَانَ كَٱلرَّمْلِ نَسْلُكَ، وَذُرِّيَّةُ أَحْشَائِكَ كَأَحْشَائِهِ. لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَلَا يُبَادُ ٱسْمُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. | ١٩ |
20 Go forth of Babylon, you that flee from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say you, The Lord has delivered 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 if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.
| وَلَمْ يَعْطَشُوا فِي ٱلْقِفَارِ ٱلَّتِي سَيَّرَهُمْ فِيهَا. أَجْرَى لَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرِ مَاءً، وَشَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَ فَفَاضَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. | ٢١ |
22 There is no joy, says the Lord, to the ungodly.
| لَا سَلَامَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْأَشْرَارِ». | ٢٢ |
