Isaiah 43

1 But now thus says Jehovah who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: "Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.

١ وَٱلْآنَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَجَابِلُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لَا تَخَفْ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ. دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ. أَنْتَ لِي.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flame will not scorch you.

٢ إِذَا ٱجْتَزْتَ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ فَأَنَا مَعَكَ، وَفِي ٱلْأَنْهَارِ فَلَا تَغْمُرُكَ. إِذَا مَشَيْتَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَلَا تُلْذَعُ، وَٱللَّهِيبُ لَا يُحْرِقُكَ.

3 For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

٣ لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُخَلِّصُكَ. جَعَلْتُ مِصْرَ فِدْيَتَكَ، كُوشَ وَسَبَا عِوَضَكَ.

4 Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

٤ إِذْ صِرْتَ عَزِيزًا فِي عَيْنَيَّ مُكَرَّمًا، وَأَنَا قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكَ. أُعْطِي أُنَاسًا عِوَضَكَ وَشُعُوبًا عِوَضَ نَفْسِكَ.

5 Do not be afraid; for I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west.

٥ لَا تَخَفْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكَ. مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ آتِي بِنَسْلِكَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ أَجْمَعُكَ.

6 I will tell the north, 'Give them up.' and tell the south, 'Do not hold them back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the farthest parts of the earth?

٦ أَقُولُ لِلشَّمَالِ: أَعْطِ، وَلِلْجَنُوبِ: لَا تَمْنَعْ. اِيتِ بِبَنِيَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَبِبَنَاتِي مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.'"

٧ بِكُلِّ مَنْ دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي وَلِمَجْدِي خَلَقْتُهُ وَجَبَلْتُهُ وَصَنَعْتُهُ.

8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

٨ أَخْرِجِ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْأَعْمَى وَلَهُ عُيُونٌ، وَٱلْأَصَمَّ وَلَهُ آذَانٌ.

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."

٩ «اِجْتَمِعُوا يَا كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ مَعًا وَلْتَلْتَئِمِ ٱلْقَبَائِلُ. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ يُخْبِرُ بِهَذَا وَيُعْلِمُنَا بِٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ؟ لِيُقَدِّمُوا شُهُودَهُمْ وَيَتَبَرَّرُوا. أَوْ لِيَسْمَعُوا فَيَقُولُوا: صِدْقٌ.

10 "You are my witnesses," says Jehovah, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.

١٠ أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَعَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَتَفْهَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ. قَبْلِي لَمْ يُصَوَّرْ إِلَهٌ وَبَعْدِي لَا يَكُونُ.

11 I, I am Jehovah; and besides me there is no savior.

١١ أَنَا أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي مُخَلِّصٌ.

12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses," says Jehovah, "and I am God.

١٢ أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأَعْلَمْتُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ. وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا ٱللهُ.

13 Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?"

١٣ أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي. أَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ يَرُدُّ؟».

14 Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

١٤ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَأَلْقَيْتُ ٱلْمَغَالِيقَ كُلَّهَا وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فِي سُفُنِ تَرَنُّمِهِمْ.

15 I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."

١٥ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُكُمْ، خَالِقُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلِكُكُمْ.

16 Thus says Jehovah, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

١٦ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْجَاعِلُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا وَفِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ مَسْلَكًا.

17 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):

١٧ ٱلْمُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ، ٱلْجَيْشَ وَٱلْعِزَّ. يَضْطَجِعُونَ مَعًا لَا يَقُومُونَ. قَدْ خَمِدُوا. كَفَتِيلَةٍ ٱنْطَفَأُوا.

18 "Do not remember the former things, and do not consider the things of old.

١٨ «لَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ، وَٱلْقَدِيمَاتُ لَا تَتَأَمَّلُوا بِهَا.

19 Look, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Do you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

١٩ هَأَنَذَا صَانِعٌ أَمْرًا جَدِيدًا. ٱلْآنَ يَنْبُتُ. أَلَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ أَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقًا، فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَنْهَارًا.

20 The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

٢٠ يُمَجِّدُنِي حَيَوَانُ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ، ٱلذِّئَابُ وَبَنَاتُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، لِأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مَاءً، أَنْهَارًا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ، لِأَسْقِيَ شَعْبِي مُخْتَارِي.

21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

٢١ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي. يُحَدِّثُ بِتَسْبِيحِي.

22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

٢٢ «وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَدْعُنِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَتَّى تَتْعَبَ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ.

23 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

٢٣ لَمْ تُحْضِرْ لِي شَاةَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ، وَبِذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُكْرِمْنِي. لَمْ أَسْتَخْدِمْكَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَلَا أَتْعَبْتُكَ بِلُبَانٍ.

24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.

٢٤ لَمْ تَشْتَرِ لِي بِفِضَّةٍ قَصَبًا، وَبِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُرْوِنِي. لَكِنِ ٱسْتَخْدَمْتَنِي بِخَطَايَاكَ وَأَتْعَبْتَنِي بِآثَامِكَ.

25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

٢٥ أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْمَاحِي ذُنُوبَكَ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَخَطَايَاكَ لَا أَذْكُرُهَا».

26 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.

٢٦ «ذَكِّرْنِي فَنَتَحَاكَمَ مَعًا. حَدِّثْ لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ.

27 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.

٢٧ أَبُوكَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَخْطَأَ، وَوُسَطَاؤُكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.

28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."

٢٨ فَدَنَّسْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَدَفَعْتُ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱللَّعْنِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلشَّتَائِمِ.
