Isaiah 66

1 Thus saith the LORD; The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest?

١ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: السَّمَاءُ عَرْشِي وَالأَرْضُ مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيَّ، فَأَيَّ بَيْتٍ تُشَيِّدُونَ لِي؟ وَأَيْنَ مَقَرُّ رَاحَتِي؟

2 For all these things hath mine hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word.

٢ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ صَنَعَتْهَا يَدِي فَوُجِدَتْ كُلُّهَا، لَكِنَّنِي أُسَرُّ بِالرَّجُلِ الْمُتَوَاضِعِ الْمُنْسَحِقِ الرُّوحِ الَّذِي يَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ كَلِمَتِي.

3 He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as he that offereth] swine’s blood; he that burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth an idol: yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations;

٣ إِنَّ مَنْ يَنْحَرُ ثَوْراً كَمَنْ يَقْتُلُ إِنْسَاناً، وَمَنْ يُقَرِّبُ حَمَلاً كَمَنْ يَكْسِرُ عُنُقَ كَلْبٍ، وَمَنْ يُصْعِدُ تَقْدِمَةَ حِنْطَةٍ كَمَنْ يُقَدِّمُ دَمَ خِنْزِيرٍ، وَمَنْ يُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً كَمَنْ يُبَارِكُ وَثَناً، لأَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ آثَرُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَاسْتَطَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ أَرْجَاسَهُمْ.

4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.

٤ لِهَذَا أَنَا أَيْضاً أَخْتَارُ بَلايَاهُمْ لَهُمْ وَأُوْقِعُ بِهِمِ الْمَخَاوِفَ، لأَنِّي عِنْدَمَا دَعَوْتُ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا، وَحِينَ تَكَلَّمْتُ لَمْ يُصْغُوا، إِنَّمَا ارْتَكَبُوا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ وَاخْتَارُوا مَا لَا أُسَرُّ بِهِ.

5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy; but they shall be ashamed.

٥ اسْمَعُوا قَوْلَ الرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْتَعِدُونَ مِنْ كَلامِهِ: يَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ إخْوَتُكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَكْرَهُونَكُمْ وَيَنْبِذُونَكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ تَخَافُونَ اسْمِي قَائِلِينَ: لِيَتَمَجَّدِ الرَّبُّ حَتَّى نَشْهَدَ فَرَحَكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَخْزَوْنَ.

6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

٦ اسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ جَلَبَةٍ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، صَوْتاً مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ، صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ يُجَازِي أَعْدَاءَهُ.

7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

٧ شَعْبِي مِثْلُ امْرَأَةٍ وَلَدَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَتَمَخَّضَ، وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تُقَاسِيَ مِنَ الطَّلْقِ أَنْجَبَتْ ذَكَراً.

8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

٨ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا، وَمَنْ رَأَى نَظِيرَهُ؟ أَتُوْلَدُ بِلادٌ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ أَمْ تُخْلَقُ أُمَّةٌ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ فَمَا إِنْ تَمَخَّضَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ حَتَّى أَنْجَبَتْ أَبْنَاءَهَا.

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I that cause to bring forth shut [the womb]? saith thy God.

٩ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: هَلْ أُمْخِضُ وَلا أُوَلِّدُ؟ هَلْ أُغْلِقُ الرَّحِمَ وَأَنَا الْمُوَلِّدُ؟

10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her:

١٠ تَهَلَّلُوا مَعَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَافْرَحُوا لَهَا يَا كُلَّ مُحِبِّيهَا، ابْتَهِجُوا مَعَهَا بِفَرَحٍ يَا جَمِيعَ النَّائِحِينَ عَلَيْهَا.

11 that ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

١١ لِكَيْ تَرْضَعُوا وَتَشْبَعُوا مِنْ ثَدْيِ تَعْزِيَاتِهَا، وَلِكَيْ تَحْلِبُوا بِوَفْرَةٍ وَتَتَلَذَّذُوا مِنْ دِرَّةِ مَجْدِهَا.

12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and ye shall suck [thereof]; ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.

١٢ لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُسْبِغُ عَلَيْهَا الْخَيْرَ كَنَهْرٍ، وَأُجْرِي إِلَيْهَا ثَرْوَةَ الأُمَمِ كَسَيْلٍ مُتَدَفِّقٍ، فَتَرْضَعُونَ، وَتُحْمَلُونَ فِي الْحِضْنِ، وَعَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهَا تُدَلَّلُونَ.

13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

١٣ وَأُعَزِّيكُمْ كَمَنْ تُعَزِّيه أُمُّهُ، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعَزَّوْنَ.

14 And ye shall see [it], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation against his enemies.

١٤ وَتَشْهَدُونَ فَتُسَرُّ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَتَزْدَهِرُ عِظَامُكُمْ كَالْعُشْبِ، فَتُصبِحُ يَدُ الرَّبِّ مَعْرُوفَةً عِنْدَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَيَنْصَبُّ غَضَبُهُ عَلَى أَعْدَاِئهِ.

15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

١٥ لأَنَّهُ هَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ مُقْبِلٌ بِنَارٍ، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُ كَالْعَاصِفَةِ، لِيَسْكُبَ غَضَبَهُ بِسَخَطٍ، وَزَجْرَهُ بِلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

16 For by fire will the LORD plead, and by his sword, with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

١٦ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعَاقِبُ أَهْلَ الأَرْضِ بِنَارِهِ وَسَيْفِهِ، وَيَكْثُرُ قَتْلَى الرَّبِّ.

17 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves [to go] unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse; they shall come to an end together, saith the LORD.

١٧ وَالَّذِينَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيَتَقَدَّسُونَ وَيَقْصِدُونَ إِلَى الْحَدَائِقِ حَيْثُ يَعْبُدُونَ وَثَناً قَائِماً وَرَاءَ أَشْجَارِهَا، وَيَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَالْفِئْرَانِ، وَكُلَّ اللُّحُومِ الْمُحَرَّمَةِ، مَصِيرُهُمُ الْهَلاكُ.

18 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: [the time] cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.

١٨ وَلأَنِّي عَالِمٌ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَأَفْكَارِهِمْ فَأَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ آتِيَ لأَجْمَعَ كُلَّ الأُمَمِ وَالأَلْسِنَةِ، فَيَتَوَافَدُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ مَجْدِي

19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

١٩ وَأَجْعَلُ بَيْنَهُمْ آيَةً وَأَبْعَثُ بَعْضَ النَّاجِينَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الأُمَمِ: إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ، وَفُولَ، وَلُودَ، الْمَهَرَةِ فِي رَمْيِ السِّهَامِ، وَإِلَى تُوبَالَ وَيَاوَانَ وَإِلَى الْجَزَائِرِ الْبَعِيدَةِ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِشُهْرَتِي أَوْ يَرَوْا مَجْدِي، فَيُذِيعُونَ مَجْدِي بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.

20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an offering unto the LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

٢٠ وَيُحْضِرُونَ جَميِعَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ، تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ، عَلَى مُتُونِ الْجِيَادِ، وَفِي الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْهَوَادِجِ، وَعَلَى ظُهُورِ الْبِغَالِ وَأَسْنِمَةِ الْجِمَالِ، إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، كَمَا يُحْضِرُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ تَقْدِمَةَ الْحِنْطَةِ فِي آنِيَةٍ طَاهِرَةٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ

21 And of them also will I take for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD.

٢١ وَمِنْهُمْ أَصْطَفِي كَهَنَةً وَلاوِيِّينَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

٢٢ لأَنَّهُ كَمَا تَدُومُ أَمَامِي السَّمَاوَاتُ الْجَدِيدَةُ وَالأَرْضُ الْجَدِيدَةُ الَّتِي أَنَا أَصْنَعُهَا هَكَذَا تَدُومُ ذُرِّيَّتُكُمْ وَذِكْرُكُمْ.

23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

٢٣ وَيَأْتِي مِنْ رَأْسِ شَهْرٍ إِلَى رَأْسِ شَهْرٍ، وِمِنْ سَبْتٍ إِلَى سَبْتٍ كُلُّ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ لِيَعْبُدُونِي،

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

٢٤ ثُمَّ يَمْضُونَ لِمُشَاهَدَةِ جُثَثِ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ، لأَنَّ دُودَهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَنَارَهُمْ لَا تَخْمَدُ. وَيَكُونُونَ مَثَارَ اشْمِئْزَازِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ.
