< Isaiah 43 >

1 But now thus hath said the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; mine art thou.
أَمَّا الآنَ، فَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ خَالِقُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَجَابِلُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لا تَجْزَعْ لأَنِّي افْتَدَيْتُكَ، دَعَوْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ. أَنْتَ لِي.١
2 Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers, —they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on thee.
إِذَا اجْتَزْتَ فِي وَسَطِ الْمِيَاهِ أَكُونُ مَعَكَ، وَإِنْ خُضْتَ الأَنْهَارَ لَا تَغْمُرُكَ. إِنْ عَبَرْتَ فِي النَّارِ لَا تَلْذَعُكَ. وَاللهِيبُ لَا يُحْرِقُكَ.٢
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba in place of thee.
لأَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَلِّصُكَ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُ مِصْرَ فِدْيَةً عَنْكَ وَكُوشَ وَسَبَأَ عِوَضاً عَنْكَ.٣
4 Since thou art precious in my eyes, art honorable, and I indeed do love thee: therefore will I give men in place of thee, and nations instead of thy soul.
إِذْ أَصْبَحْتَ كَرِيماً فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَعَزِيزاً وَمَحْبُوباً، فَقَدْ بَادَلْتُ أُنَاساً بِكَ، وَقَايَضْتُ أُمَماً عِوَضاً عَنْ حَيَاتِكَ.٤
5 Fear not, for I am with thee; from the east will I bring thy seed, and from the west will I gather thee.
لَا تَجْزَعْ لأَنِّي مَعَكَ. سَأَلِمُّ شَتَاتَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَأَجْمَعُكَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ.٥
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Withhold not: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
أَقُولُ لِلشِّمَالِ: أَطْلِقْهُمْ مِنْ عِقَالِكَ، وَللْجَنُوبِ لَا تَحْجِزْهُمْ. اجْمَعْ أَبْنَائِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَبَنَاتِي مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ،٦
7 Every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; whom I have formed; yea, whom I have made.
كُلَّ مَنْ يُدْعَى بِاسْمِي مِمَّنْ خَلَقْتُهُ لِمَجْدِي وَجَبَلْتُهُ وَصَنَعْتُهُ».٧
8 Bring forward the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
أَخْرِجِ الشَّعْبَ الأَعْمَى وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ عُيُونٌ، وَالأَصَمَّ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ آذَانٌ.٨
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can announce this? and cause us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
لِتَجْتَمِعِ الأُمَمُ بِأَسْرِهَا، وَلْتَحْتَشِدِ الشُّعُوبُ. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ يُنْبِئُ بِهَذَا، وَيُخْبِرُنَا بِالأُمُورِ السَّالِفَةِ؟ لِيُقَدِّمُوا شُهُودَهُمْ إِثْبَاتاً لِصِدْقِهِمْ، أَوْ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَيَقُولُوا: هَذَا صِدْقٌ.٩
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: in order that ye may know and believe me, and understand, that I am he; before me there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.
أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَعَبْدِي الَّذِي اصْطَفَيْتُهُ، لِتَعْلَمُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا بِي، وَتُدْرِكُوا أَنِّي أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ، لَمْ يُوْجَدْ إِلَهٌ قَبْلِي وَلا يَكُونُ إِلَهٌ بَعْدِي.١٠
11 I, I am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَلا مُخَلِّصَ غَيْرِي.١١
12 I myself have announced it, and I have saved, and I have let it be heard, and there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.
إِنِّي أَنْبَأْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأَعْلَنْتُ أَنَا، وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ بَيْنَكُمْ. أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي أَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.١٢
13 Yea, from the [first] day am I he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: if I will work, is there one that can hinder it?
مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ وَلَيْسَ مُنْقِذٌ مِنْ يَدِي. أَفْعَلُ وَمَنْ يُبْطِلُ عَمَلِي؟١٣
14 Thus hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, For your sake did I send to Babylon, and in swift vessels brought I them all down, and the Chaldeans, in the ships of their joyful song.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَا أَنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى بَابِلَ لأُحَطِّمَ الْمَغَالِيقَ، فَيُصْبِحُ الْبَابِلِيُّونَ فِي سُفُنِهِمِ الَّتِي يُبَاهُونَ بِها مَطْرُودِينَ هَارِبِينَ.١٤
15 I am the Lord, the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُكُمْ خَالِقُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَلِكُكُمْ.١٥
16 Thus hath said the Lord, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الصَّانِعُ فِي الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقاً، وَمَمَرّاً فِي اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ،١٦
17 Who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power: together shall they lie down, they shall not rise up again; they are extinct, like a wick are they quenched.
الَّذِي يَسْتَدْرِجُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْخُيُولَ وَالْجَيْشَ وَالْمُقَاتِلِينَ، فَيَسْقُطُونَ صَرْعَى جَمِيعاً وَلا يَقُومُونَ، وَيَخْمُدُونَ كَفَتِيلَةٍ وَيَنْطَفِئُونَ.١٧
18 Remember not the former things, and ancient events regard no more.
وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ الأُمُورَ السَّالِفَةَ وَلا تَعْتَبِرُونَ بِالأَحْدَاثِ الغَابِرَةِ١٨
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; will ye not acknowledge it? I will even make in the wilderness a way, and in the desert rivers.
انْظُرُوا، هَا أَنَا أُنْجِزُ أَمْراً جَدِيداً يَنْشَأُ الآنَ، أَلا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ أَشُقُّ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقاً، وَفِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَنْهَاراً،١٩
20 The beasts of the field shall honor me, the monsters and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my elect;
فَيُكْرِمُنِي وَحْشُ الصَّحْرَاءِ: الذِّئَابُ وَالنَّعَامُ لأَنِّي فَجَّرْتُ فِي الْقَفْرِ مَاءً، وَفِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَنْهَاراً لأَسْقِيَ شَعْبِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ،٢٠
21 This people which I have formed for myself; my praise shall they relate.
وَجَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي لِيُذِيعَ حَمْدِي.٢١
22 But on me hast thou not called, O Jacob; for thou art become weary of me, O Israel.
وَلَكِنَّكَ لَمْ تَلْتَمِسْنِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، بَلْ سَئِمْتَ مِنِّي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ.٢٢
23 Thou hast not brought unto me the lamb of thy burnt-offerings; and with thy sacrifices hast thou not honored me: I have not troubled thee with meat-offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
لَمْ تَأْتِنِي بِشَاةٍ لِذَبِيحَةِ مُحْرَقَةٍ، وَلَمْ تُكْرِمْنِي بِقَرَابِينِكَ، مَعَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُثَقِّلْ عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ، وَلا أَرْهَقْتُكَ بِطَلَبِ اللُّبَانِ.٢٣
24 Thou hast not bought for me sweet cane, and with the fat of thy sacrifices hast thou not satisfied me; but thou hast troubled me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
لَمْ تَشْتَرِ لِي بَخُوراً ذَكِيَّ الرَّائِحَةِ، وَلَمْ تُشْبِعْنِي بِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِكَ. إِنَّمَا أَعْيَيْتَنِي بِثِقْلِ آثَامِكَ وَأَرْهَقْتَنِي بِذُنُوبِكَ.٢٤
25 I, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.
أَنَا، أَنَا هُوَ الْمَاحِي ذُنُوبَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاتِي، وَخَطَايَاكَ لَنْ أَذْكُرَهَا.٢٥
26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: relate thou, in order that thou mayest be justified.
هَيَّا إِلَى الْمُحَاكَمَةِ، وَاعْرِضْ عَلَيَّ دَعْوَاكَ، لِتَتَبَرَّرَ٢٦
27 Thy first father did sin, and they that plead for thee transgressed against me.
قَدْ أَخْطَأَ أَبُوكَ الأَوَّلُ، وَوُسَطَاؤُكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ،٢٧
28 Therefore do I profane the holy princes, and I give up Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
لِذَلِكَ أُدَنِّسُ عُظَمَاءَ مَقَادِسِي وَأَقْضِي عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْهَلاكِ وَأَتْرُكُهُ عُرْضَةً لِلْخِزْيِ وَالْعَارِ.٢٨
