< Isaiah 56 >

1 Thus says YHWH, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَجْرُوا الْحَقَّ، وَاصْنَعُوا الْعَدْلَ، لأَنَّ خَلاصِي بَاتَ وَشِيكاً وَبِرِّي حَانَ أَنْ يُسْتَعْلَنَ.١
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُمَارِسُ هَذِهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِها وَيُكَرِّمُ سُبُوتِي؛ وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ يَصُونُ يَدَهُ عَنِ ارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ.٢
3 Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying, "YHWH will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry tree."
لَا يَقُلِ ابْنُ الْغَرِيبِ الْمُنْضَمُّ إِلَى الرَّبِّ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَفْصِلُنِي عَنْ شَعْبِهِ. وَلا يَقُولَنَّ الْخَصِيُّ: أَنَا شَجَرَةٌ يَابِسَةٌ.٣
4 For thus says YHWH, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ لِلْخِصْيَانِ الَّذِينَ يُحَافِظُونَ عَلَى سُبُوتِي، وَيَخْتَارُونَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهْدِي:٤
5 to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
أَهَبُهُمْ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِي وَأَسْوَارِي نَصِيباً وَاسْماً أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْبَنِينَ وَالْبَنَاتِ. أُعْطِيهِمِ اسْماً مُخَلَّداً لَا يَنْقَرِضُ.٥
6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH, to minister to him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
وَأَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُنْضَمُّونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ وَيُحِبُّوا اسْمَهُ لِيَكُونُوا لَهُ عَبِيداً، فَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى السَّبْتِ مِنْهُمْ وَلا يَنْقُضُهُ، وَيَتَمَسَّكُ بِعَهْدِي،٦
7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
فَهَؤُلاءِ آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ وَأَفِيضُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْفَرَحَ فِي بَيْتِ صَلاتِي، وَتَكُونُ مُحْرَقَاتُهُمْ وَقَرَابِينُهُمْ مَقْبُولَةً عَلَى مَذْبَحِي، لأَنَّ بَيْتِي سَيُدْعَى بَيْتَ الصَّلاةِ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.٧
8 YHWH, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يَلُمُّ شَتَاتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَأَجْمَعُ إِلَيْهِ آخَرِينَ بَعْدُ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الَّذِينَ جَمَعْتُهُمْ.٨
9 All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
تَعَالَيْ يَا جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الصَّحْرَاءِ لِلالْتِهَامِ، وَيَا جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ الْغَابِ أَيْضاً.٩
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
فَإِنَّ رُقَبَاءَهُمْ عُمْيٌ، وَكُلَّهُمْ جُهَّالٌ، وَكِلابٌ بُكْمٌ عَاجِزُونَ عَنِ النِّبَاحِ، حَالِمُونَ رَاقِدُونَ مُوْلَعُونَ بِالنَّوْمِ.١٠
11 Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
هُمْ كِلابٌ نَهِمَةٌ لَا تَعْرِفُ الشَّبَعَ، وَرُعَاةٌ أَيْضاً مُجَرَّدُونَ مِنَ الْفَهْمِ، كُلٌّ مَالَ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِ طَمَعاً فِي الرِّبْحِ،١١
12 "Come," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
قَائِلِينَ: تَعَالَوْا نَأْتِي بِالْخَمْرِ، وَنَشْرَبُ مُسْكِراً حَتَّى الثُّمَالَةِ، فَالْغَدُ يَكُونُ مُمَاثِلاً لِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ، بَلْ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ.١٢
