Isaiah 46

1 Bel, hath crouched, Nebo, is cowering, Their images, are delivered up to beast and to cattle, —The things ye carried about, are become a load, A burden, to the weary!

١ قَدْ جَثَا بِيلُ، ٱنْحَنَى نَبُو. صَارَتْ تَمَاثِيلُهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. مَحْمُولَاتُكُمْ مُحَمَّلَةٌ حِمْلًا لِلْمُعْيِي.

2 They have cowered they have crouched at once, And they cannot rescue the burden, —But their own soul, into captivity, hath departed.

٢ قَدِ ٱنْحَنَتْ. جَثَتْ مَعًا. لَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَ ٱلْحِمْلَ، وَهِيَ نَفْسُهَا قَدْ مَضَتْ فِي ٱلسَّبْيِ.

3 Hearken unto me O house of Jacob, Even all the remnant of the house of Israel, —Who have been borne from birth, Who have been carried from nativity:

٣ «اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ وَكُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْمُحَمَّلِينَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، ٱلْمَحْمُولِينَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ.

4 Even unto old age, I, am, the same, And unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden, —I have made and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden and will deliver,

٤ وَإِلَى ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَإِلَى ٱلشَّيْبَةِ أَنَا أَحْمِلُ. قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، وَأَنَا أَرْفَعُ، وَأَنَا أَحْمِلُ وَأُنَجِّي.

5 To whom can ye liken me or make me equal? Or compare me, and we be like?

٥ بِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي وَتُسَوُّونَنِي وَتُمَثِّلُونَنِي لِنَتَشَابَهَ؟.

6 They who pour gold out of a purse, And who weigh silver in a balance, —Who hire a goldsmith that he may make it into a GOD, They adore, yea they bow down;

٦ «اَلَّذِينَ يُفْرِغُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنَ ٱلْكِيسِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ بِٱلْمِيزَانِ يَزِنُونَ. يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ صَائِغًا لِيَصْنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، يَخُرُّونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ!

7 They carry him about on the shoulder They bear the burden of him—and set him in his place that he may stand, —Out of his place, will he not move, —Though one even make outcry unto him, he will not answer, Out of one’s trouble, he will not save him.

٧ يَرْفَعُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ. يَحْمِلُونَهُ وَيَضَعُونَهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ لِيَقِفَ. مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ لَا يَبْرَحُ. يَزْعَقُ أَحَدٌ إِلَيْهِ فَلَا يُجِيبُ. مِنْ شِدَّتِهِ لَا يُخَلِّصُهُ.

8 Remember ye this and shew yourselves men, —Bring it back, ye transgressors, to your minds;

٨ «اُذْكُرُوا هَذَا وَكُونُوا رِجَالًا. رَدِّدُوهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُصَاةُ.

9 Remember ye the things named in advance from age-past times, —For, I, am, The Mighty One, and there is none else, The Adorable and there is none like me!

٩ اُذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. ٱلْإِلَهُ وَلَيْسَ مِثْلِي.

10 Declaring from the beginning, the latter end, And from olden time, that which had never been done, —Saying My purpose shall stand, and All my pleasure, will I perform;

١٠ مُخْبِرٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْبَدْءِ بِٱلْأَخِيرِ، وَمُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ بِمَا لَمْ يُفْعَلْ، قَائِلًا: رَأْيِي يَقُومُ وَأَفْعَلُ كُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي.

11 Calling, From the East, a Bird of Prey, From a far country, the Man I intended, —Yea I have spoken I will also bring it to pass, I have planned, I will also do it.

١١ دَاعٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ ٱلْكَاسِرَ، مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ رَجُلَ مَشُورَتِي. قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ فَأُجْرِيهِ. قَضَيْتُ فَأَفْعَلُهُ.

12 Hearken unto me, Ye valiant of heart, —Who are far away from righteousness:

١٢ «اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا أَشِدَّاءَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ عَنِ ٱلْبِرِّ.

13 I have brought near my righteousness. It shall not be far away, And my deliverance, shall not linger, —But I will give In Zion, deliverance, To Israel, my glory.

١٣ قَدْ قَرَّبْتُ بِرِّي، لَا يَبْعُدُ. وَخَلَاصِي لَا يَتَأَخَّرُ. وَأَجْعَلُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ خَلَاصًا، لِإِسْرَائِيلَ جَلَالِي.
