< Isaiah 42 >

1 "Look, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
هُوَذَا عَبْدِي الَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي الَّذِي ابْتَهَجَتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ لِيَسُوسَ الأُمَمَ بِالْعَدْلِ.١
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
لَا يَصِيحُ وَلا يَصْرُخُ وَلا يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.٢
3 He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't extinguish a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
لَا يَكْسِرُ قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً، وَفَتِيلَةً مُدَخِّنَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِنَّمَا بِأَمَانَةٍ يُجْرِي عَدْلاً.٣
4 He will not grow dim or be crushed, until he has established justice on the earth, and in his name the coastlands will hope."
لَا يَكِلُّ وَلا تُثَبَّطُ لَهُ هِمَّةٌ حَتَّى يُرَسِّخَ الْعَدْلَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ الْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ.٤
5 Thus says God, YHWH, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ اللهُ، الرَّبُّ خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَبَاسِطُهَا، وَنَاشِرُ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنْهَا. الْوَاهِبُ أَهْلَهَا نَسَمَةً، وَالْمُنْعِمُ بِالرُّوحِ عَلَى السَّائِرِينَ عَلَيْهَا:٥
6 "I, YHWH, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations;
«أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِالْبِرِّ. أَمْسَكْتُ بِيَدِكَ وَحَافَظْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْتُكَ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُوراً لِلأُمَمِ٦
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيِ، وَتُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ الْمَأْسُورِينَ فِي السِّجْنِ، وَتُحَرِّرَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي ظُلْمَةِ الْحَبْسِ.٧
8 "I am YHWH. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَهَذَا اسْمِي. لَا أُعْطِي مَجْدِي لِآخَرَ، وَلا حَمْدِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.٨
9 Look, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."
هَا هِيَ النُّبُوءَاتُ السَّالِفَةُ تَتَحَقَّقُ، وَأُخْرَى جَدِيدَةٌ أُعْلِنُ عَنْهَا وَأُنْبِئُ بِها قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ».٩
10 Sing to YHWH a new song, and his praise from the remotest parts of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the islands and their inhabitants.
غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، سَبِّحُوهُ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَيُّهَا الْمُسَافِرُونَ فِي عُبَابِ الْبَحْرِ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ وَيَا سُكَّانَ الْجَزَائِرِ.١٠
11 Let the desert and its cities cry out, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
لِتَهْتِفِ الصَّحْرَاءُ وَمُدُنُهَا، وَدِيَارُ قِيدَارَ الْمَأْهُولَةُ. لِيَتَغَنَّ بِفَرَحٍ أَهْلُ سَالِعَ وَلْيَهْتِفُوا مِنْ قِمَمِ الْجِبَالِ.١١
12 Let them give glory to YHWH, and declare his praise in the islands.
ولْيُمَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ وَيُذِيعُوا حَمْدَهُ فِي الْجَزَائِرِ.١٢
13 YHWH will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
يَبْرُزُ الرَّبُّ كَجَبَّارٍ، يَسْتَثِيرُ حَمِيَّتَهُ كَمَا يَسْتَثِيرُهَا الْمُحَارِبُ، وَيُطْلِقُ صَرْخَةَ حَرْبٍ دَاوِيَةً، يُظْهِرُ جَبَرُوتَهُ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِ.١٣
14 "I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
لَكَمِ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِالصَّمْتِ، وَلَزِمْتُ السَّكِينَةَ وَلَجَمْتُ نَفْسِي. أَمَّا الآنَ فَأَنَا أَصِيحُ وَأَزْفِرُ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ.١٤
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
أُخَرِّبُ الْجِبَالَ وَالتِّلالَ، وَأُيَبِّسُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قَفْرٍ وَأُجَفِّفُ الْبُحَيْرَاتِ،١٥
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
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.١٦
17 "Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, 'You are our gods' will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
أَمَّا الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ عَلَى الأَصْنَامِ، الْقَائِلُونَ لِلأَوْثَانِ: «أَنْتُمْ آلِهَتُنَا» فَإِنَّهُمْ يُدْبِرُونَ مُجَلَّلِينَ بِالْخِزْيِ.١٧
18 "Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الصُّمُّ، انْظُرُوَا أَيُّهَا الْعُمْيُ لِتُبْصِرُوا.١٨
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as YHWH's servant?
مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى سِوَى عَبْدِي؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى مِثْلَ مَنْ يَكُنُّ لِي الْوَلاءَ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَفِيفٌ كَعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ؟١٩
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he doesn't listen.
تَشْهَدُ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً وَلا تُلاحِظُهَا، وَأُذُنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَانِ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَسْمَعُ شَيْئاً.٢٠
21 It pleased YHWH, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
قَدْ سُرَّ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ أَنْ يُعَظِّمَ شَرِيعَتَهُ وَيُمَجِّدَهَا،٢١
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become a prey, and no one delivers; and a spoil, and no one says, 'Restore them.'
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».٢٢
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا وَيُنْصِتُ وَيُصْغِي لِلزَّمَنِ الْمُقْبِلِ؟٢٣
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not YHWH, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
مَنْ أَسْلَمَ يَعْقُوبَ لِلنَّهْبِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لِلسَّالِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ اللهُ الَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا فِي حَقِّهِ؟ لأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَأَنْ يُطِيعُوا شَرِيعَتَهُ.٢٤
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he did not know; and it burned him, but he did not take it to heart."
لِذَلِكَ صَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ جَامَ غَضَبِهِ فِي وَطِيسِ الْحَرْبِ فَاكْتَنَفَتْهُمْ بِضِرَامِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُمْ بِنِيرَانِهَا وَلَمْ يَتَّعِظُوا.٢٥
