Isaiah 49

1 Listen O islands to me and pay attention O peoples from a distance Yahweh from [the] womb he called me from [the] inward parts of mother my he has brought to remembrance name my.

١ أنْصِتِي إِلَيَّ أَيَّتُهَا الْجَزَائِرُ، وَأَصْغُوا يَا شُعُوبَ الْبِلادِ الْبَعِيدَةِ: قَدْ دَعَانِي الرَّبُّ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ جَنِيناً، وَذَكَرَ اسْمِي وَأَنَا مَابَرِحْتُ فِي رَحِمِ أُمِّي.

2 And he made mouth my like a sword sharp in [the] shadow of hand his he hid me and he made me an arrow polished in quiver his he concealed me.

٢ جَعَلَ فَمِي كَسَيْفٍ قَاطِعٍ، وَوَارَانِي فِي ظِلِّ يَدَيْهِ؛ صَنَعَ مِنِّي سَهْماً مَسْنُوناً وَأَخْفَانِي فِي جُعْبَتِهِ،

3 And he said to me [are] servant my you Israel whom by you I will get glory for myself.

٣ وَقَالَ لِي: «أَنْتَ عَبْدِي إِسْرَائِيلُ الَّذِي بِهِ أَتَمَجَّدُ»

4 And I I said to emptiness I have labored to nothingness and futility strength my I have caused to fail nevertheless justice my [is] with Yahweh and recompense my [is] with God my.

٤ وَلَكِنَّنِي أَجَبْتُ: «لَقَدْ تَعِبْتُ بَاطِلاً. وَأَفْنَيْتُ قُوَّتِي سُدىً وَعَبَثاً. غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَقِّي مَحْفُوظٌ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ، وَمَكَافَأَتِي عِنْدَ إِلَهِي».

5 And now - he says Yahweh [who] formed me from [the] womb a servant of him to bring back Jacob to him and Israel (to him *Q(K)*) it will be gathered and I may be honored in [the] eyes of Yahweh and God my he has been strength my.

٥ وَالآنَ قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي كَوَّنَنِي فِي رَحِمِ أُمِّي لأَكُونَ لَهُ خَادِماً، حَتَّى أَرُدَّ ذُرِّيَّةَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَيْهِ، فَيَجْتَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حَوْلَهُ، فَأَتَمَجَّدَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَيَكُونَ إِلَهِي قُوَّتِي:

6 And he said it is [too] trifling for being you of me servant to raise up [the] tribes of Jacob (and [the] preserved [ones] of *Q(K)*) Israel to bring back and I will make you a light of [the] nations to be salvation my to [the] end of the earth.

٦ لَكَمْ هُوَ يَسِيرٌ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِي عَبْداً لِتَسْتَنْهِضَ أَسْبَاطَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَتَرُدَّ مَنْ نَجَّيْتُ مِنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِذَلِكَ سَأَجْعَلُكَ نُوراً لِلأُمَمِ لِتَكُونَ خَلاصِي إِلَى أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ.

7 Thus he says Yahweh [the] redeemer of Israel holy [one] its to despise life to [one who] abhors a nation to a servant of rulers kings they will see and they will stand up princes so they may bow down on account of Yahweh who [is] faithful [the] holy [one] of Israel and he has chosen you.

٧ وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ فَادِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُدُّوسُهُ لِمَنْ صَارَ مُحْتَقَراً وَمَرْذُولاً لَدَى الأُمَمِ وَعَبْداً لِلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ: يَرَاكَ الْمُلُوكُ وَيَنْهَضُونَ، وَيَسْجُدُ لَكَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الرَّبِّ الأَمِينِ، قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ.

8 Thus - he says Yahweh in a time of favor I will answer you and on a day of salvation I will help you and I will watch over you and I will make you a covenant of [the] people to raise up [the] land to give as inheritance inheritances desolate.

٨ وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «اسْتَجَبْتُكَ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى، وَفِي يَوْمِ خَلاصِي أَعَنْتُكَ فَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأُعْطِيكَ عَهْداً لِلشَّعْبِ لَتَسْتَرِدَّ الأَرْضَ وَتُوَرِّثَ الأَمْلاكَ الَّتِي دَاهَمَهَا الدَّمَارُ،

9 To say to [the] prisoners come out to [those] who [are] in darkness reveal yourselves on roads they will graze and [will be] on all bare heights pasture their.

٩ لِتَقُولَ لِلأَسْرَى:’اخْرُجُوا‘وَلِلَّذِينَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ’اظْهَرُوا‘فَيَرْعَوْنَ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ وَتُصْبِحُ الرَّوَابِي الْجَرْدَاءُ مَرَاعِيَ لَهُمْ.

10 Not they will be hungry and not they will be thirsty and not it will strike them burning heat and sun for [one who] has compassion on them he will guide them and to springs of water he will lead them.

١٠ لَا يَجُوعُونَ وَلا يَعْطَشُونَ، وَلا يُعْيِيهُمْ لَهِيبُ الصَّحْرَاءِ وَلا لَفْحُ الشَّمْسِ، لأَنَّ رَاحِمَهُمْ يَهْدِيهِمْ وَيَقُودُهُمْ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ الْمِيَاهِ.

11 And I will make all mountains my into road and highways my they will be lifted up!

١١ وَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ جِبَالِي سَبِيلاً، وَطُرُقِي تَرْتَفِعُ.

12 Here! these from a distance they will come and here! these from [the] north and from [the] west and these from [the] land of Sinim.

١٢ انْظُرُوا، هَا هُمْ يُقْبِلُونَ مِنْ دِيَارٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، هَؤُلاءِ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَهَؤُلاءِ مِنْ أَرْضِ سِينِيمَ».

13 Shout for joy O heaven and be glad O earth (and break forth *Q(K)*) O mountains a shout of joy for he has comforted Yahweh people his and afflicted [people] his he has compassion on.

١٣ فَاهْتِفِي فَرَحاً أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وَابْتَهِجِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ، وَأَشِيدِي بِالتَّرْنِيمِ أَيَّتُهَا الْجِبَالُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ عَزَّى شَعْبَهُ وَرَأَفَ بِبَائِسِيهِ.

14 And it said Zion he has forsaken me Yahweh and [the] Lord he has forgotten me.

١٤ لَكِنَّ أَهْلَ صِهْيَوْنَ قَالُوا: «لَقَدْ أَهْمَلَنَا الرَّبُّ وَنَسِيَنَا».

15 ¿ Will she forget a woman sucking child her from having compassion on [the] child of womb her also these they will forget and I not I will forget you.

١٥ «هَلْ تَنْسَى الْمَرْأَةُ رَضِيعَهَا وَلا تَرْحَمُ ابْنَ أَحْشَائِهَا؟ حَتَّى هَؤُلاءِ يَنْسَيْنَ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلا أَنْسَاكُمْ.

16 Here! on palms of hands I have inscribed you walls your [are] before me continually.

١٦ انْظُرُوا هَا أَنَا قَدْ نَقَشْتُكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى كَفِّي، وَأَسْوَارُكِ لَا تَبْرَحُ مِنْ أَمَامِي.

17 They have made haste children your [those who] tear down you and [those who] make desolate you from you they will go out.

١٧ أَسْرَعَ إِلَيْكِ أَوْلادُكِ بَنَّاؤُوكِ، وَفَارَقَكِ هَادِمُوكِ وَمُخَرِّبُوكِ.

18 Lift up all around eyes your and see all of them they have gathered together they have come to you [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh that all of them like ornament[s] you will put on and you will tie on them like bride.

١٨ ارْفَعِي عَيْنَيْكِ وَتَلَفَّتِي حَوْلَكِ وَانْظُرِي، فَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ أَبْنَاؤُكِ وَتَوَافَدُوا إِلَيْكِ. حَيٌّ أَنَا»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «فَإِنَّكِ سَتَتَزَيَّنِينَ بِهِمْ كَالْحُلِيِّ وَتَتَقَلَّدِينَهُمْ كَعَرُوسٍ

19 For waste places your and desolate [places] your and [the] land of destruction your for now you will be [too] cramped for [the] inhabitant[s] and they will be far away [those who] swallowed up you.

١٩ وَتَعِجُّ أَرْضُكِ الْخَرِبَةُ وَدِيَارُكِ الْمُتَهَدِّمَةُ، وَمَنَاطِقُكِ الْمُدَمَّرَةُ بِالسُّكَّانِ حَتَّى تَضِيقَ بِهِمْ، وَيَبْتَعِدَ عَنْكِ مُبْتَلِعُوكِ.

20 Yet they will say in ears your [the] children of bereavement your it is cramped for me the place draw near! for me so let me dwell.

٢٠ وَيَقُولُ أَيْضاً فِي مَسَامِعِكِ بَنُوكِ الْمَوْلُودُونَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ ثُكْلِكِ:’إِنَّ الْمَكَانَ أَضْيَقُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسَعَنَا، فَأَفْسِحِي لَنَا حَتَّى نَسْكُنَ.‘

21 And you will say in heart your who? did he father for me these [children] and I [was] bereaved and barren gone into exile - and thrust away and these [children] who? did he bring up here! I I remained to alone me these [children] where? [are] they.

٢١ فَتَسْأَلِينَ نَفْسَكِ:’مَنْ أَنْجَبَ لِي هَؤُلاءِ وَأَنَا ثَكْلَى وَعَاقِرٌ، مَنْفِيَّةٌ وَمَنْبُوذَةٌ؟ مَنْ رَبَّى لِي هَؤُلاءِ؟ فَقَدْ تُرِكْتُ وَحْدِي، أَمَّا هَؤُلاءِ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءُوا؟‘»

22 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I will lift up to [the] nations hand my and to peoples I will raise standard my and they will bring sons your in a bosom and daughters your on a shoulder they will be carried.

٢٢ وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَرْفَعُ يَدِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ وَأَنْصِبُ رَايَتِي إِلَى الشُّعُوبِ، فَيَحْمِلُونَ أَبْنَاءَكِ فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ وَبَنَاتِكِ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ.

23 And they will be kings foster-fathers your and princesses their suckling-nurses your faces ground they will bow down to you and [the] dust of feet your they will lick up and you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom not they will be ashamed [those who] wait for me.

٢٣ يَكُونُ لَكِ الْمُلُوكُ آبَاءَ مُرَبِّينَ، وَمَلِكَاتُهُمْ مُرْضِعَاتٍ، يَنْحَنُونَ أَمَامَكِ بِوُجُوهٍ مُطْرِقَةٍ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَيَلْحَسُونَ تُرَابَ قَدَمَيْكِ. عِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْرِكِينَ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَيَّ لَا يَخْزَى».

24 ¿ Will it be taken from a warrior booty and or? [the] captive[s] of [the] righteous will it escape.

٢٤ هَلْ تُسْلَبُ الْغَنِيمَةُ مِنَ الْمُحَارِبِ الْجَبَّارِ؟ أَوْ يُفْلِتُ الأَسْرَى مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْغَالِبِ؟

25 For thus - he says Yahweh also a captive of a warrior he will be taken and [the] booty of a ruthless [person] it will be delivered and opponent your I I will oppose and children your I I will save.

٢٥ «نَعَمْ سَبْيُ الْجَبَّارِ يُسْلَبُ مِنْهُ، وَتُسْتَرَدُّ الْغَنِيمَةُ مِنَ الْغَالِبِ، لأَنَّنِي أُخَاصِمُ مُخَاصِمِيكِ وَأُنْقِذُ أَبْنَاءَكِ،

26 And I will cause to eat [those who] maltreat you own flesh their and like sweet wine own blood their they will become drunk! and they will know all flesh that I [am] Yahweh deliverer your and redeemer your [the] mighty one of Jacob.

٢٦ وَأَجْعَلُ مُضْطَهِدِيكِ يَلْتَهِمُونَ لُحُومَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ، وَيَسْكَرُونَ بِدَمِهِمْ كَمَنْ يَشْرَبُ خَمْراً. عِنْدَئِذٍ يُدْرِكُ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُكِ وَفَادِيكِ إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرُ».
