Isaiah 42

1 Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.

١ هُوَذَا عَبْدِي الَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي الَّذِي ابْتَهَجَتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ لِيَسُوسَ الأُمَمَ بِالْعَدْلِ.

2 He shall not cry, nor call out aloud, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

٢ لَا يَصِيحُ وَلا يَصْرُخُ وَلا يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

3 A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.

٣ لَا يَكْسِرُ قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً، وَفَتِيلَةً مُدَخِّنَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِنَّمَا بِأَمَانَةٍ يُجْرِي عَدْلاً.

4 He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

٤ لَا يَكِلُّ وَلا تُثَبَّطُ لَهُ هِمَّةٌ حَتَّى يُرَسِّخَ الْعَدْلَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ الْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ.

5 Thus hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:

٥ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ اللهُ، الرَّبُّ خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَبَاسِطُهَا، وَنَاشِرُ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنْهَا. الْوَاهِبُ أَهْلَهَا نَسَمَةً، وَالْمُنْعِمُ بِالرُّوحِ عَلَى السَّائِرِينَ عَلَيْهَا:

6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;

٦ «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِالْبِرِّ. أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِكَ وَحَافَظْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْتُكَ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُوراً لِلأُمَمِ

7 To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison-house those that dwell in darkness.

٧ لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيِ، وَتُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ الْمَأْسُورِينَ فِي السِّجْنِ، وَتُحَرِّرَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي ظُلْمَةِ الْحَبْسِ.

8 I am the Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor my praise to graven images.

٨ أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَهَذَا اسْمِي. لَا أُعْطِي مَجْدِي لِآخَرَ، وَلا حَمْدِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.

9 The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear of them.

٩ هَا هِيَ النُّبُوءَاتُ السَّالِفَةُ تَتَحَقَّقُ، وَأُخْرَى جَدِيدَةٌ أُعْلِنُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْبِئُ بِها قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ».

10 Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.

١٠ غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، سَبِّحُوهُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَيُّهَا الْمُسَافِرُونَ فِي عُبَابِ الْبَحْرِ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ وَيَا سُكَّانَ الْجَزَائِرِ.

11 Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains.

١١ لِتَهْتِفِ الصَّحْرَاءُ وَمُدُنُهَا، وَدِيَارُ قِيدَارَ الْمَأْهُولَةُ. لِيَتَغَنَّ بِفَرَحٍ أَهْلُ سَالِعَ وَلْيَهْتِفُوا مِنْ قِمَمِ الْجِبَالِ.

12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.

١٢ ولْيُمَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ وَيُذِيعُوا حَمْدَهُ فِي الْجَزَائِرِ.

13 The Lord—as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war-cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.

١٣ يَبْرُزُ الرَّبُّ كَجَبَّارٍ، يَسْتَثِيرُ حَمِيَّتَهُ كَمَا يَسْتَثِيرُهَا الْمُحَارِبُ، وَيُطْلِقُ صَرْخَةَ حَرْبٍ دَاوِيَةً، يُظْهِرُ جَبَرُوتَهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ.

14 I have a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour [all] together.

١٤ لَكَمِ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِالصَّمْتِ، وَلَزِمْتُ السَّكِينَةَ وَلَجَمْتُ نَفْسِي. أَمَّا الآنَ فَأَنَا أَصِيحُ وَأَزْفِرُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ.

15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.

١٥ أُخَرِّبُ الْجِبَالَ وَالتِّلالَ، وَأُيَبِّسُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قَفْرٍ وَأُجَفِّفُ الْبُحَيْرَاتِ،

16 And I will cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them [unfulfilled].

١٦ وَأَقُودُ الْعُمْيَ فِي سَبِيلٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَهْدِيهِمْ فِي مَسَالِكَ يَجْهَلُونَهَا، وَأُحِيلُ الظَّلامَ أَمَامَهُمْ إِلَى نُورٍ، وَالأَمَاكِنَ الْوَعِرَةَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُمَهَّدَةٍ. هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ أَصْنَعُهَا وَلَنْ أَتَخَلَّى عَنْهُمْ.

17 They shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye are our gods.

١٧ أَمَّا الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ عَلَى الأَصْنَامِ، الْقَائِلُونَ لِلأَوْثَانِ: «أَنْتُمْ آلِهَتُنَا» فَإِنَّهُمْ يُدْبِرُونَ مُجَلَّلِينَ بِالْخِزْيِ.

18 Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.

١٨ اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الصُّمُّ، انْظُرُوَا أَيُّهَا الْعُمْيُ لِتُبْصِرُوا.

19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?

١٩ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى سِوَى عَبْدِي؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى مِثْلَ مَنْ يَكُنُّ لِي الْوَلاءَ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَفِيفٌ كَعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ؟

20 Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.

٢٠ تَشْهَدُ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً وَلا تُلاحِظُهَا، وَأُذُنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَسْمَعُ شَيْئاً.

21 The Lord willed [to do this] for the sake of his righteousness; [therefore] he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.

٢١ قَدْ سُرَّ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ أَنْ يُعَظِّمَ شَرِيعَتَهُ وَيُمَجِّدَهَا،

22 But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison-houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

٢٢ لَكِنَّ شَعْبَهُ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدْ وَقَعُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ فِي الْحُفْرَةِ وَاقْتُنِصُوا وَزُجَّ بِهِمْ فِي أَقْبِيَةِ السُّجُونِ. صَارُوا فَرِيسَةً وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْقِذٍ، وَأَصْبَحُوا غَنِيمَةً وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّهَا».

23 Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken and listen, for the time to come?

٢٣ مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا وَيُنْصِتُ وَيُصْغِي لِلزَّمَنِ الْمُقْبِلِ؟

24 Who gave up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.

٢٤ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ يَعْقُوبَ لِلنَّهْبِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لِلسَّالِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ اللهُ الَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا فِي حَقِّهِ؟ لأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَأَنْ يُطِيعُوا شَرِيعَتَهُ.

25 Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.

٢٥ لِذَلِكَ صَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ جَامَ غَضَبِهِ فِي وَطِيسِ الْحَرْبِ فَاكْتَنَفَتْهُمْ بِضِرَامِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُمْ بِنِيرَانِهَا وَلَمْ يَتَّعِظُوا.
