Isaiah 26

1 In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah, —A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart,

١ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يُغَنَّى بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُغْنِيَّةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا: لَنَا مَدِينَةٌ قَوِيَّةٌ. يَجْعَلُ ٱلْخَلَاصَ أَسْوَارًا وَمَتْرَسَةً.

2 Open ye the gates, —That there may enter in—a righteous nation preserving fidelity.

٢ اِفْتَحُوا ٱلْأَبْوَابَ لِتَدْخُلَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلْبَارَّةُ ٱلْحَافِظَةُ ٱلْأَمَانَةَ.

3 A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because in thee, hath he been led to trust.

٣ ذُو ٱلرَّأْيِ ٱلْمُمَكَّنِ تَحْفَظُهُ سَالِمًا سَالِمًا، لِأَنَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مُتَوَكِّلٌ.

4 Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity, —For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.

٤ تَوَكَّلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّ فِي يَاهَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَخْرَ ٱلدُّهُورِ.

5 For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, —He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:

٥ لِأَنَّهُ يَخْفِضُ سُكَّانَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ، يَضَعُ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةَ. يَضَعُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. يُلْصِقُهَا بِٱلتُّرَابِ.

6 The foot trampleth it, —The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,

٦ تَدُوسُهَا ٱلرِّجْلُ، رِجْلَا ٱلْبَائِسِ، أَقْدَامُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ.

7 The path of a righteous man, is, even, —O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.

٧ طَرِيقُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ ٱسْتِقَامَةٌ. تُمَهِّدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ سَبِيلَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ.

8 Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, —Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:

٨ فَفِي طَرِيقِ أَحْكَامِكَ يَارَبُّ ٱنْتَظَرْنَاكَ. إِلَى ٱسْمِكَ وَإِلَى ذِكْرِكَ شَهْوَةُ ٱلنَّفْسِ.

9 With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, —For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.

٩ بِنَفْسِي ٱشْتَهَيْتُكَ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. أَيْضًا بِرُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي إِلَيْكَ أَبْتَكِرُ. لِأَنَّهُ حِينَمَا تَكُونُ أَحْكَامُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَعَلَّمُ سُكَّانُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ ٱلْعَدْلَ.

10 Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, —And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.

١٠ يُرْحَمُ ٱلْمُنَافِقُ وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُ ٱلْعَدْلَ. فِي أَرْضِ ٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ يَصْنَعُ شَرًّا وَلَا يَرَى جَلَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

11 O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, —yet do they not see, Would they might see—and turn pale at a people’s zeal, —Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!

١١ يَارَبُّ، ٱرْتَفَعَتْ يَدُكَ وَلَا يَرَوْنَ. يَرَوْنَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارُ أَعْدَائِكَ.

12 O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, —For even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,

١٢ يَارَبُّ، تَجْعَلُ لَنَا سَلَامًا لِأَنَّكَ كُلَّ أَعْمَالِنَا صَنَعْتَهَا لَنَا.

13 O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, —By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.

١٣ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، قَدِ ٱسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْنَا سَادَةٌ سِوَاكَ. بِكَ وَحْدَكَ نَذْكُرُ ٱسْمَكَ.

14 The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise, —Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.

١٤ هُمْ أَمْوَاتٌ لَا يَحْيَوْنَ. أَخْيِلَةٌ لَا تَقُومُ. لِذَلِكَ عَاقَبْتَ وَأَهْلَكْتَهُمْ وَأَبَدْتَ كُلَّ ذِكْرِهِمْ.

15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.

١٥ زِدْتَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ يَارَبُّ، زِدْتَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ. تَمَجَّدْتَ. وَسَّعْتَ كُلَّ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

16 O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, —They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.

١٦ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ طَلَبُوكَ. سَكَبُوا مُخَافَتَةً عِنْدَ تَأْدِيبِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ.

17 Like as a woman with child—Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; —

١٧ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْحُبْلَى ٱلَّتِي تُقَارِبُ ٱلْوِلَادَةَ تَتَلَوَّى وَتَصْرُخُ فِي مَخَاضِهَا، هَكَذَا كُنَّا قُدَّامَكَ يَارَبُّ.

18 We were with child—We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, —Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were born the inhabitants of the world.

١٨ حَبِلْنَا تَلَوَّيْنَا كَأَنَّنَا وَلَدْنَا رِيحًا. لَمْ نَصْنَعْ خَلَاصًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَسْقُطْ سُكَّانُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ.

19 Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, —Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.

١٩ تَحْيَا أَمْوَاتُكَ، تَقُومُ ٱلْجُثَثُ. ٱسْتَيْقِظُوا، تَرَنَّمُوا يَا سُكَّانَ ٱلتُّرَابِ. لِأَنَّ طَلَّكَ طَلُّ أَعْشَابٍ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُسْقِطُ ٱلْأَخْيِلَةَ.

20 Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, —Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.

٢٠ هَلُمَّ يَا شَعْبِي ٱدْخُلْ مَخَادِعَكَ، وَأَغْلِقْ أَبْوَابَكَ خَلْفَكَ. ٱخْتَبِئْ نَحْوَ لُحَيْظَةٍ حَتَّى يَعْبُرَ ٱلْغَضَبُ.

21 For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him, —Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.

٢١ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ لِيُعَاقِبَ إِثْمَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِيهِمْ، فَتَكْشِفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ دِمَاءَهَا وَلَا تُغَطِّي قَتْلَاهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
