Isaiah 65

1 I have let myself be consulted by them who had not asked, I have suffered myself to be found by them who had not sought me, —I have said, Here I am! Here I am! Unto a nation that had not been called by my name,

١ «أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا. وُجِدْتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي. قُلْتُ: هَأَنَذَا، هَأَنَذَا. لِأُمَّةٍ لَمْ تُسَمَّ بِٱسْمِي.

2 I have spread out my hands all the day, Unto a rebellious people, —Who walk In the way that is not good, After their own devices.

٢ بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ طُولَ ٱلنَّهَارِ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ سَائِرٍ فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ صَالِحٍ وَرَاءَ أَفْكَارِهِ.

3 The people who are provoking me to anger to my face continually, —Sacrificing in gardens, and Burning incense upon bricks;

٣ شَعْبٍ يُغِيظُنِي بِوَجْهِي. دَائِمًا يَذْبَحُ فِي ٱلْجَنَّاتِ، وَيُبَخِّرُ عَلَى ٱلْآجُرِّ.

4 Who tarry among graves, And in the secret places, do lodge, Who eat the flesh of swine, And the broth of refuse things is in their vessels, —

٤ يَجْلِسُ فِي ٱلْقُبُورِ، وَيَبِيتُ فِي ٱلْمَدَافِنِ. يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ ٱلْخِنْزِيرِ، وَفِي آنِيَتِهِ مَرَقُ لُحُومٍ نَجِسَةٍ.

5 Who say—Draw near by thyself, Do not approach with me, For I am holier than thou! These, are A smoke in my nostrils, A fire, burning all the day.

٥ يَقُولُ: قِفْ عِنْدَكَ. لَا تَدْنُ مِنِّي لِأَنِّي أَقْدَسُ مِنْكَ. هَؤُلَاءِ دُخَانٌ فِي أَنْفِي، نَارٌ مُتَّقِدَةٌ كُلَّ ٱلنَّهَارِ.

6 Lo! it is written before me, —I will not keep silence, But I have recompensed, and will recompense into their bosom:

٦ هَا قَدْ كُتِبَ أَمَامِي. لَا أَسْكُتُ بَلْ أُجَازِي. أُجَازِي فِي حِضْنِهِمْ،

7 Your own iniquities, And the, iniquities of your fathers together, Saith Yahweh, Who have burned incense upon the mountains, And upon the hills, have reproached me, —Therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

٧ آثَامَكُمْ وَآثَامَ آبَائِكُمْ مَعًا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ بَخَّرُوا عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَعَيَّرُونِي عَلَى ٱلْآكَامِ، فَأَكِيلُ عَمَلَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلَ فِي حِضْنِهِمْ».

8 Thus, saith Yahweh—As, new wine, is found, in the cluster, And one saith, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it, So, will I do for the sake of my servants, That I may not destroy the whole [nation];

٨ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلسُّلَافَ يُوجَدُ فِي ٱلْعُنْقُودِ، فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: لَا تُهْلِكْهُ لِأَنَّ فِيهِ بَرَكَةً. هَكَذَا أَعْمَلُ لِأَجْلِ عَبِيدِي حَتَّى لَا أُهْلِكَ ٱلْكُلَّ.

9 Therefore will I bring forth Out of Jacob, a seed, and Out of Judah, an inheritor of my mountains, That my chosen ones may inherit it, And, my servants, dwell there;

٩ بَلْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ نَسْلًا وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا وَارِثًا لِجِبَالِي، فَيَرِثُهَا مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَتَسْكُنُ عَبِيدِي هُنَاكَ.

10 Then shall, Sharon, become, a fold for flocks, And the vale of Achor for the lying down of herds, —For my people who have sought me.

١٠ فَيَكُونُ شَارُونُ مَرْعَى غَنَمٍ، وَوَادِي عَخُورَ مَرْبِضَ بَقَرٍ، لِشَعْبِي ٱلَّذِينَ طَلَبُونِي.

11 But, ye are they—Who forsake Yahweh Who forget my holy mountain—Who prepare, for Fortune, a table and Who fill for Destiny, mixed wine;

١١ «أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَنَسُوا جَبَلَ قُدْسِي، وَرَتَّبُوا لِلسَّعْدِ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ مَائِدَةً، وَمَلَأُوا لِلسَّعْدِ ٱلْأَصْغَرِ خَمْرًا مَمْزُوجَةً،

12 Therefore will I destine you to the sword, And, ye all, to the slaughter, shall bow down. Because I called and ye answered not, I spake, and ye hearkened not, —But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, ye made choice,

١٢ فَإِنِّي أُعَيِّنُكُمْ لِلسَّيْفِ، وَتَجْثُونَ كُلُّكُمْ لِلذَّبْحِ، لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ عَمِلْتُمُ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَٱخْتَرْتُمْ مَا لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ.

13 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —Lo! my servants, shall eat but, ye, shall be famished, Lo! my servants, shall drink but, ye shall be thirsty, —Lo! my servants, shall rejoice but ye, shall turn pale;

١٣ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هُوَذَا عَبِيدِي يَأْكُلُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجُوعُونَ. هُوَذَا عَبِيدِي يَشْرَبُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْطَشُونَ. هُوَذَا عَبِيدِي يَفْرَحُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَخْزَوْنَ.

14 Lo! my servants, shall shout in triumph for mirth of heart But, ye, shall make outcry, for pain of heart, And for a breaking of spirit, shall ye howl.

١٤ هُوَذَا عَبِيدِي يَتَرَنَّمُونَ مِنْ طِيبَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَصْرُخُونَ مِنْ كآبَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ، وَمِنِ ٱنْكِسَارِ ٱلرُّوحِ تُوَلْوِلُونَ.

15 So shall ye leave your name for an oath, to my chosen ones, —So then My Lord Yahweh, will slay thee, —And his servants, will he, call by another name:

١٥ وَتُخْلِفُونَ ٱسْمَكُمْ لَعْنَةً لِمُخْتَارِيَّ، فَيُمِيتُكَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَيُسَمِّي عَبِيدَهُ ٱسْمًا آخَرَ.

16 So that he who blesseth himself in the earth, Will bless himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who sweareth in the earth Will swear by the God of faithfulness—Because the former troubles have been forgotten, and Because they are hid from mine eyes.

١٦ فَٱلَّذِي يَتَبَرَّكُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَبَرَّكُ بِإِلَهِ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَٱلَّذِي يَحْلِفُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَحْلِفُ بِإِلَهِ ٱلْحَقِّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلضِّيقَاتِ ٱلْأُولَى قَدْ نُسِيَتْ، وَلِأَنَّهَا ٱسْتَتَرَتْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ.

17 For, behold me! Creating new heavens, and a new earth, —And the former shall not be mentioned, neither shall they come up on the heart,

١٧ «لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا خَالِقٌ سَمَاوَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضًا جَدِيدَةً، فَلَا تُذْكَرُ ٱلْأُولَى وَلَا تَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالٍ.

18 But joy ye and exult, perpetually, in what I am about to create, —For, behold me! Creating Jerusalem an exultation and Her People a joy;

١٨ بَلِ ٱفْرَحُوا وَٱبْتَهِجُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فِي مَا أَنَا خَالِقٌ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا خَالِقٌ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَهْجَةً وَشَعْبَهَا فَرَحًا.

19 Therefore will I Exult in Jerusalem, and Joy in my People, —And there shall be heard in her, no more The sound of weeping, or the sound of a cry:

١٩ فَأَبْتَهِجُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَفْرَحُ بِشَعْبِي، وَلَا يُسْمَعُ بَعْدُ فِيهَا صَوْتُ بُكَاءٍ وَلَا صَوْتُ صُرَاخٍ.

20 There shall be thenceforward, no more, A suckling of a few days, or an elder Who filleth not up his days, —But, a youth a hundred years old, may die, Yea a sinner a hundred years old, shall be accursed,

٢٠ لَا يَكُونُ بَعْدُ هُنَاكَ طِفْلُ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا شَيْخٌ لَمْ يُكْمِلْ أَيَّامَهُ. لِأَنَّ ٱلصَّبِيَّ يَمُوتُ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَٱلْخَاطِئُ يُلْعَنُ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ.

21 Then shall they build houses and dwell in them, —And plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them;

٢١ وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتًا وَيَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا، وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا وَيَأْكُلُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا.

22 They shall not build, and another, dwell, They shall not plant, and, another, eat, —For as the days of a tree, shall be the days of my people, And, the work of their own hands, shall my chosen ones, use to the full:

٢٢ لَا يَبْنُونَ وَآخَرُ يَسْكُنُ، وَلَا يَغْرِسُونَ وَآخَرُ يَأْكُلُ. لِأَنَّهُ كَأَيَّامِ شَجَرَةٍ أَيَّامُ شَعْبِي، وَيَسْتَعْمِلُ مُخْتَارِيَّ عَمَلَ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

23 They shall not labour in vain, Nor have children for terror, —For the seed of the blessed ones of Yahweh, shall they be, And their offspring, with them.

٢٣ لَا يَتْعَبُونَ بَاطِلًا وَلَا يَلِدُونَ لِلرُّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ نَسْلُ مُبَارَكِي ٱلرَّبِّ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ.

24 And it shall come to pass—That before they call, I, will answer, And while yet they are speaking, I, will hear.

٢٤ وَيَكُونُ أَنِّي قَبْلَمَا يَدْعُونَ أَنَا أُجِيبُ، وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بَعْدُ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ.

25 The wolf and the lamb, shall feed, in unity, And, the lion, as an ox, shall eat straw; But as for the serpent, dust, shall be his food: They shall not harm—Nor shall they destroy, In all my holy mountain, saith Yahweh.

٢٥ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَٱلْحَمَلُ يَرْعَيَانِ مَعًا، وَٱلْأَسَدُ يَأْكُلُ ٱلتِّبْنَ كَٱلْبَقَرِ. أَمَّا ٱلْحَيَّةُ فَٱلتُّرَابُ طَعَامُهَا. لَا يُؤْذُونَ وَلَا يُهْلِكُونَ فِي كُلِّ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ».
