< Isaiah 44 >

1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
«وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ يَا يَعْقُوبُ عَبْدِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ.١
2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, [who] will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعُكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ، مُعِينُكَ: لَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَا يَشُورُونُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ.٢
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy offspring:
لِأَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مَاءً عَلَى ٱلْعَطْشَانِ، وَسُيُولًا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ. أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى نَسْلِكَ وَبَرَكَتِي عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِكَ.٣
4 And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
فَيَنْبُتُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعُشْبِ مِثْلَ ٱلصَّفْصَافِ عَلَى مَجَارِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ.٤
5 One shall say, I [am] the LORD'S; and another shall call [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe [with] his hand to the LORD, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.
هَذَا يَقُولُ: أَنَا لِلرَّبِّ، وَهَذَا يُكَنِّي بِٱسْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَذَا يَكْتُبُ بِيَدِهِ: لِلرَّبِّ، وَبِٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُلَقِّبُ».٥
6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and besides me [there is] no God.
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَادِيهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي.٦
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show to them.
وَمَنْ مِثْلِي؟ يُنَادِي، فَلْيُخْبِرْ بِهِ وَيَعْرِضْهُ لِي مُنْذُ وَضَعْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْقَدِيمَ. وَٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَاتُ وَمَا سَيَأْتِي لِيُخْبِرُوهُمْ بِهَا.٧
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? verily [there is] no God; I know not [any].
لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا. أَمَا أَعْلَمْتُكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ وَأَخْبَرْتُكَ؟ فَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي. هَلْ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ غَيْرِي؟ وَلَا صَخْرَةَ لَا أَعْلَمُ بِهَا؟»٨
9 They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَوِّرُونَ صَنَمًا كُلُّهُمْ بَاطِلٌ، وَمُشْتَهَيَاتُهُمْ لَا تَنْفَعُ، وَشُهُودُهُمْ هِيَ. لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلَا تَعْرِفُ حَتَّى تَخْزَى.٩
10 Who hath formed a god, or cast a graven image [that] is profitable for nothing?
مَنْ صَوَّرَ إِلَهًا وَسَبَكَ صَنَمًا لِغَيْرِ نَفْعٍ؟١٠
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they [are] of men: let them all be assembled, let them stand up; [yet] they shall fear, [and] they shall be ashamed together.
هَا كُلُّ أَصْحَابِهِ يَخْزَوْنَ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. يَجْتَمِعُونَ كُلُّهُمْ، يَقِفُونَ يَرْتَعِبُونَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مَعًا.١١
12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yes, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
طَبَعَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ قَدُومًا، وَعَمِلَ فِي ٱلْفَحْمِ، وَبِالْمَطَارِقِ يُصَوِّرُهُ فَيَصْنَعُهُ بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِهِ. يَجُوعُ أَيْضًا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ. لَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَقَدْ تَعِبَ.١٢
13 The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
نَجَّرَ خَشَبًا. مَدَّ ٱلْخَيْطَ. بِٱلْمِخْرَزِ يُعَلِّمُهُ، يَصْنَعُهُ بِٱلْأَزَامِيلِ، وَبِالدَّوَّارَةِ يَرْسُمُهُ. فَيَصْنَعُهُ كَشَبَهِ رَجُلٍ، كَجَمَالِ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ!١٣
14 He heweth down cedars for himself, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish [it].
قَطَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَرْزًا وَأَخَذَ سِنْدِيَانًا وَبَلُّوطًا، وَٱخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْوَعْرِ. غَرَسَ سَنُوبَرًا وَٱلْمَطَرُ يُنْمِيهِ.١٤
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take of it, and warm himself; indeed he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yes, he maketh a god, and worshipeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down to it.
فَيَصِيرُ لِلنَّاسِ لِلْإِيقَادِ. وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ وَيَتَدَفَّأُ. يُشْعِلُ أَيْضًا وَيَخْبِزُ خُبْزًا، ثُمَّ يَصْنَعُ إِلَهًا فَيَسْجُدُ! قَدْ صَنَعَهُ صَنَمًا وَخَرَّ لَهُ.١٥
16 He burneth part of it in the fire; with part of it he eateth flesh; he roasteth meat, and is satisfied: yes, he warmeth [himself], and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
نِصْفُهُ أَحْرَقَهُ بِٱلنَّارِ. عَلَى نِصْفِهِ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا. يَشْوِي مَشْوِيًّا وَيَشْبَعُ! يَتَدَفَّأُ أَيْضًا وَيَقُولُ: «بَخْ! قَدْ تَدَفَّأْتُ. رَأَيْتُ نَارًا».١٦
17 And the residue of it he maketh a god, [even] his graven image: he falleth down to it, and worshipeth [it], and prayeth to it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou [art] my god.
وَبَقِيَّتُهُ قَدْ صَنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، صَنَمًا لِنَفْسِهِ! يَخُرُّ لَهُ وَيَسْجُدُ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «نَجِّنِي لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي».١٧
18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; [and] their hearts, that they cannot understand.
لَا يَعْرِفُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَمَسَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْإِبْصَارِ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ.١٨
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither [is there] knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; I have also baked bread upon its coals; I have roasted flesh, and eaten [it]: and shall I make the residue of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
وَلَا يُرَدِّدُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَعْرِفَةٌ وَلَا فَهْمٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ: «نِصْفَهُ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَخَبَزْتُ أَيْضًا عَلَى جَمْرِهِ خُبْزًا، شَوَيْتُ لَحْمًا وَأَكَلْتُ. أَفَأَصْنَعُ بَقِيَّتَهُ رِجْسًا، وَلِسَاقِ شَجَرَةٍ أَخُرُّ؟»١٩
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my right hand?
يَرْعَى رَمَادًا. قَلْبٌ مَخْدُوعٌ قَدْ أَضَلَّهُ فَلَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ وَلَا يَقُولُ: «أَلَيْسَ كَذِبٌ فِي يَمِينِي؟».٢٠
21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou [art] my servant: I have formed thee; thou [art] my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten by me.
«اُذْكُرْ هَذِهِ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي. قَدْ جَبَلْتُكَ. عَبْدٌ لِي أَنْتَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لَا تُنْسَيِ مِنِّي.٢١
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and as a cloud, thy sins: return to me; for I have redeemed thee.
قَدْ مَحَوْتُ كَغَيْمٍ ذُنُوبَكَ وَكَسَحَابَةٍ خَطَايَاكَ. اِرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ».٢٢
23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done [it]: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَعَلَ. اِهْتِفِي يَا أَسَافِلَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَشِيدِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ تَرَنُّمًا، ٱلْوَعْرُ وَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَدَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمَجَّدَ.٢٣
24 Thus saith the LORD thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, [I am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself:
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعٌ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، نَاشِرٌ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدِي، بَاسِطٌ ٱلْأَرْضَ. مَنْ مَعِي؟٢٤
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
مُبَطِّلٌ آيَاتِ ٱلْمُخَادِعِينَ وَمُحَمِّقٌ ٱلْعَرَّافِينَ. مُرَجِّعٌ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَمُجَهِّلٌ مَعْرِفَتَهُمْ.٢٥
26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up her decayed places:
مُقِيمٌ كَلِمَةَ عَبْدِهِ، وَمُتَمِّمٌ رَأْيَ رُسُلِهِ. ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُعْمَرُ، وَلِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: سَتُبْنَيْنَ، وَخِرَبَهَا أُقِيمُ.٢٦
27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
ٱلْقَائِلُ لِلُّجَّةِ: ٱنْشَفِي، وَأَنْهَارَكِ أُجَفِّفُ.٢٧
28 That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and [he] shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ كُورَشَ: رَاعِيَّ، فَكُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي يُتَمِّمُ. وَيَقُولُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُبْنَى، وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ: سَتُؤَسَّسُ».٢٨
