Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
| يَقُولُ إِلَهُكُمْ: «وَاسُوا، وَاسُوا شَعْبِي! | ١ |
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received from the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
| طَيِّبُوا خَاطِرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَلِّغُوهَا أَنَّ أَيَّامَ مِحْنَتِهَا قَدِ انْتَهَتْ، وَإِثْمَهَا قَدْ غُفِرَ، وَتَلَقَّتْ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ ضِعْفَيْنِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ مَا ارْتَكَبَتْهُ مِنْ خَطَايَا». | ٢ |
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
| صَوْتٌ يَصْرُخُ وَيَقُولُ: «أَعِدُّوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ، وَأَقِيمُوا طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لإِلَهِنَا. | ٣ |
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.
| كُلُّ وَادٍ يَرْتَفِعُ، وَكُلُّ تَلٍّ يَنْخَفِضُ. وَتُمَهَّدُ كُلُّ أَرْضٍ مُعْوَجَّةٍ وتُعَبَّدُ كُلُّ بُقْعَةٍ وَعِرَةٍ | ٤ |
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see [it]: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
| وَيَتَجَلَّى مَجْدُ اللهِ، فَيُشَاهِدُهُ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ». | ٥ |
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodliness [is] as the flower of the field:
| وَعِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ صَوْتٌ: «نَادِ بِرِسَالَةٍ». فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَيَّةُ رِسَالَةٍ؟» فَقَالَ: «كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ عُشْبٌ، وَكُلُّ بَهَائِهِ كَزَهْرِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
| يَذْبُلُ الْعُشْبُ وَيَذْوِي الزَّهْرُ لأَنَّ نَفْخَةَ الرَّبِّ تَهُبُّ عَلَيْهِ. حَقّاً إِنَّ الشَّعْبَ عُشْبٌ. | ٧ |
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall shall stand forever.
| يَذْبُلُ الْعُشْبُ وَيَذْوِي الزَّهْرُ، أَمَّا كَلِمَةُ إِلَهِنَا فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ٨ |
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, go up upon the high mountain: O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
| اصْعَدِي إِلَى جَبَلٍ شَامِخٍ يَا حَامِلَةَ الْبِشَارَةِ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ. ارْفَعِي صَوْتَكِ بِقُوَّةٍ يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. اهْتِفِي وَلا تَجْزَعِي. قُولِي لِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: هَا إِلَهُكُمْ قَادِمٌ | ٩ |
10 Behold, the LORD GOD will come with strong [hand], and his arm will rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.
| بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ، وَذِرَاعُهُ تَحْكُمُ لَهُ، وَهَا أُجْرَتُهُ مَعَهُ وَمُكَافَأَتُهُ أَمَامَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] will gently lead those that are with young.
| يَرْعَى قَطِيعَهُ كَرَاعٍ، وَيَجْمَعُ الْحُمْلانَ بِذِرَاعِهِ، وَفِي أَحْضَانِهِ يَحْمِلُهَا وَيَقُودُ الْمُرْضِعَاتِ بِرِفْقٍ. | ١١ |
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
| مَنْ كَالَ الْمِيَاهَ بِكَفِّهِ وَقَاسَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِالشِّبْرِ وَكَالَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ بِالْكَيْلِ وَوَزَنَ الْجِبَالَ بِقَبَّانٍ، وَالتِّلالَ بِمِيزَانٍ؟ | ١٢ |
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counselor hath taught him?
| مَنْ أَرْشَدَ رُوحَ الرَّبِّ أَوْ كَانَ لَهُ مُشِيراً فَعَلَّمَهُ؟ | ١٣ |
14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
| هَلْ طَلَبَ الرَّبُّ مَشُورَةً مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ مَنْ عَلَّمَهُ طَرِيقَ الْعَدْلِ وَلَقَّنَهُ الْمَعْرِفَةَ وَأَرَاهُ سَبِيلَ الْفَهْمِ؟ | ١٤ |
15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
| إِنَّ الشُّعُوبَ كَنُقْطَةٍ مِنْ دَلْوٍ، وَكَغُبَارِ الْمِيزَانِ. يَرْفَعُ الْجَزَائِرَ وَكَأَنَّهَا ذَرَّةُ هَبَاءٍ. | ١٥ |
16 And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts of it sufficient for a burnt-offering.
| لُبْنَانُ بِأَسْرِهِ لَا يَكْفِي أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلْوَقُودِ، وَحَيَوَانُهُ لَا يَكْفِي لِذَبِيحَةِ مُحْرَقَةٍ. | ١٦ |
17 All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
| جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ لَا تُحْسَبُ لَدَيْهِ شَيْئاً، وَهِي فِي عَيْنَيْهِ عَدَمٌ وَخَوَاءٌ. | ١٧ |
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare to him?
| بِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَ اللهَ وَبِمَنْ تُقَارِنُونَهُ؟ | ١٨ |
19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
| إِنْ كَانَ تِمْثَالاً فَالتِّمْثَالُ يَصُوغُهُ الصَّانِعُ وَيُغَشِّيهِ الصَّائِغُ بِالذَّهَبِ، وَيَسْبِكُ لَهُ سَلاسِلَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. | ١٩ |
20 He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh for himself a skillful workman to prepare a graven image [that] shall not be moved.
| أَمَّا الْفَقِيرُ فَإِنَّهُ يَخْتَارُ قِطْعَةَ خَشَبٍ لَا تُنْخَرُ، وَيَلْتَمِسُ صَانِعاً حَاذِقاً يَنْحَتُ لَهُ مِنْهَا صَنَماً ثَابِتاً. | ٢٠ |
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
| أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا؟ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا؟ أَلَمْ يَبْلُغْكُمْ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ؟ أَلَمْ تَفْهَمُوا مِنْ إِرْسَاءِ أُسُسِ الأَرْضِ؟ | ٢١ |
22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
| إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْجَالِسُ عَلَى كُرَةِ الأَرْضِ وَسُكَّانُهَا كَالْجَرَادِ. هُوَ الْبَاسِطُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَسُرَادَقَ، وَيَنْشُرُهَا كَخَيْمَةٍ لِلسُّكْنَى، | ٢٢ |
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
| يَجْعَلُ الْعُظَمَاءَ كَالْعَدَمِ، وَالْحُكَّامَ كَلا شَيْءٍ. | ٢٣ |
24 Yes, they shall not be planted; yes, they shall not be sown: yes, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
| فَمَا كَادُوا يُغْرَسُونَ وَيُزْرَعُونَ وَيَتَأَصَّلُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ حَتَّى نَفَخَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَذَوَوْا وَعَصَفَتْ بِهِمْ زَوْبَعَةٌ كَالتِّبْنِ. | ٢٤ |
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equaled? saith the Holy One.
| فَبِمَنْ إِذاً تُقَارِنُونَنِي فَأَكُونَ نَظِيرَهُ؟ يَقُولُ الْقُدُّوسُ. | ٢٥ |
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names, by the greatness of his might, for that [he] is strong in power; not one faileth.
| ارْفَعُوا عُيُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْعَلاءِ وَانْظُرُوا. مَنْ خَلَقَ هَذِهِ؟ وَمَنْ يُبْرِزُ كَوَاكِبَهَا بِمَجْمُوعَاتٍ وَيَدْعُوهَا بِأَسْمَاءَ؟ إِنَّ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهَا لَا تُفْقَدُ لأَنَّهُ يُحَافِظُ عَلَيْهَا بِعَظَمَةِ قُدْرَتِهِ، وَلأَنَّهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَّةِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
| فَكَيْفَ تَجْرُؤُ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ أَنْ تَقُولَ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يَرَى مِحْنَتِي وَطَرِيقِي خَافِيَةٌ عَلَيْهِ؟ | ٢٧ |
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
| أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا؟ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا؟ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ إِلَهٌ سَرْمَدِيٌّ وَخَالِقُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. لَا يَهِنُ وَلا يَخُورُ، وَفَهْمُهُ لَا يُسْتَقْصَى. | ٢٨ |
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
| يَهِبُ الْمَنْهُوكَ قُوَّةً وَيَمْنَحُ الضَّعِيفَ قُدْرَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٢٩ |
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
| إِنَّ الشَّبِيبَةَ يَنَالُهَا الإِعْيَاءُ وَالإِرْهَاقُ، وَالْفِتْيَانُ يَتَعَثَّرُونَ أَشَدَّ تَعَثُّرٍ، | ٣٠ |
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
| أَمَّا الرَّاجُونَ الرَّبَّ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّتَهُمْ، وَيُحَلِّقُونَ بِأَجْنِحَةِ النُّسُورِ. يَرْكُضُونَ وَلا يُعْيُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلا يَتْعَبُونَ. | ٣١ |
