< Isaiah 64 >

1 Did You not tear the heavens? You came down, Mountains flowed from Your presence,
لَيْتَكَ تَشُقُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَنْزِلُ فَتَتَزَلْزَلَ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ!١
2 (As fire kindles stubble—Fire causes water to boil), To make Your Name known to Your adversaries, Nations tremble from Your presence.
فَتَكُونُ كَالنَّارِ الَّتِي تُضْرِمُ الْهَشِيمَ، وَتَجْعَلُ الْمِيَاهَ تَغْلِي لِكَيْ تُعَرِّفَ أَعْدَاءَكَ اسْمَكَ، فَتَرْتَعِبُ الأُمَمُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.٢
3 In Your doing fearful things [that] we do not expect, You came down, Mountains flowed from Your presence.
عِنْدَمَا أَجْرَيْتَ أَعْمَالاً مُخِيفَةً لَمْ نَتَوَقَّعْهَا، نَزَلْتَ فَتَزَلْزَلَتِ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.٣
4 Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye has not seen a God except You, He works for those waiting for Him.
مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَحَدٌ وَلَمْ تُصْغِ أُذُنٌ وَلَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ إِلَهاً سِوَاكَ يُجْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُهُ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ.٤
5 You have met with the rejoicer And the doer of righteousness, In Your ways they remember You, Behold, You have been angry when we sin, By them [is] continuance, and we are saved.
أَنْتَ تُلاقِي مَنْ يَفْرَحُ بِعَمَلِ الْبِرِّ وَمَنْ يَسْلُكُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِكَ. لَكَمْ سُخْطْتَ عَلَيْنَا لأَنَّنَا وَاظَبْنَا عَلَى ارْتِكَابِ الآثَامِ زَمَاناً طَوِيلاً، فَكَيْفَ لِمِثْلِنَا أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟٥
6 And we are as unclean—all of us, And all our righteous acts [are] as garments of menstruation; And we fade as a leaf—all of us. And our iniquities take us away as wind.
كُلُّنَا أَصْبَحْنَا كَنَجِسٍ، وَأَضْحَتْ جَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بِرِّنَا كَثَوْبٍ قَذِرٍ، فَذَبُلْنَا كَأَوْرَاقِ الشَّجَرِ وَعَبَثَتْ بِنَا آثَامُنَا كَالرِّيحِ.٦
7 And there is none calling on Your Name, Stirring himself up to lay hold on You, For You have hid Your face from us, And You melt us away by our iniquities.
لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يُنَادِي بِاسْمِكَ، وَيَحْرِصُ عَلَى التَّمَسُّكِ بِكَ لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ وَجْهَكَ عَنَّا ولاشَيْتَنَا بِسَبَبِ مَعَاصِينَا.٧
8 And now, O YHWH, You [are] our Father, We [are] the clay, and You [are] our Framer, And the work of Your hand—all of us.
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ أَبُونَا، نَحْنُ الطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ الْخَزَّافُ، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.٨
9 Do not be angry, O YHWH, very severely, Nor remember iniquity forever, Behold, look attentively, we implore You, We [are] all Your people.
لَا تُوْغِلْ فِي غَضَبِكَ عَلَيْنَا يَا رَبُّ، وَلا تَذْكُرِ الإِثْمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. إِنَّمَا انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا، فَكُلُّنَا شَعْبُكَ.٩
10 Your holy cities have been a wilderness, Zion has been a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
قَدِ اسْتَحَالَتْ مَدِينَتُكَ الْمُقَدَّسَةُ إِلَى قَفْرٍ، وَأَصْبَحَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ بَرِّيَّةً وَأُورُشَلِيمُ مُوحِشَةً،١٠
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, Where our fathers praised You, Has become burned with fire, And all our desirable things have become a ruin.
وَاحْتَرَقَ بِالنَّارِ هَيْكَلُنَا الْمُقَدَّسُ الْبَهِيُّ، الَّذِي شَدَا آبَاؤُنَا فِيهِ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ، وَصَارَ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ أَثِيرٌ لَدَيْنَا خَرَاباً.١١
12 Do You refrain Yourself for these, YHWH? You are silent, and afflict us very severely!
هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ تَسْكُتُ يَا رَبُّ، وَتَعْتَصِمُ بِالصَّمْتِ وَتُنْزِلُ بِنَا أَشَدَّ الْبَلاءِ؟١٢
