Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.
| «اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ بِٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ مِيَاهِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلْحَالِفِينَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ وَلَا بِٱلْحَقِّ! | ١ |
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ يُسَمَّوْنَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَيُسْنَدُونَ إِلَى إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٢ |
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
| بِٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ أَخْبَرْتُ، وَمِنْ فَمِي خَرَجَتْ وَأَنْبَأْتُ بِهَا. بَغْتَةً صَنَعْتُهَا فَأَتَتْ. | ٣ |
4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
| لِمَعْرِفَتِي أَنَّكَ قَاسٍ، وَعَضَلٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ عُنُقُكَ، وَجَبْهَتُكَ نُحَاسٌ، | ٤ |
5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I showed [it] thee: lest thou shouldst say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
| أَخْبَرْتُكَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ. قَبْلَمَا أَتَتْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: صَنَمِي قَدْ صَنَعَهَا، وَمَنْحُوتِي وَمَسْبُوكِي أَمَرَ بِهَا. | ٥ |
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
| قَدْ سَمِعْتَ فَٱنْظُرْ كُلَّهَا. وَأَنْتُمْ أَلَا تُخْبِرُونَ؟ قَدْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِحَدِيثَاتٍ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ، وَبِمَخْفِيَّاتٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا. | ٦ |
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardst them not; lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew them.
| ٱلْآنَ خُلِقَتْ وَلَيْسَ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ، وَقَبْلَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ بِهَا، لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ: هَأَنَذَا قَدْ عَرَفْتُهَا. | ٧ |
8 Yes, thou heardst not; yes, thou knewest not; yes, from that time [that] thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
| لَمْ تَسْمَعْ وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْ، وَمُنْذُ زَمَانٍ لَمْ تَنْفَتِحْ أُذُنُكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَغْدُرُ غَدْرًا، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ سُمِّيتَ عَاصِيًا. | ٨ |
9 For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي أُبَطِّئُ غَضَبِي، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ فَخْرِي أُمْسِكُ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا أَقْطَعَكَ. | ٩ |
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
| هَأَنَذَا قَدْ نَقَّيْتُكَ وَلَيْسَ بِفِضَّةٍ. ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فِي كُورِ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ. | ١٠ |
11 For my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِي أَفْعَلُ. لِأَنَّهُ كَيْفَ يُدَنَّسُ ٱسْمِي؟ وَكَرَامَتِي لَا أُعْطِيهَا لِآخَرَ. | ١١ |
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.
| «اِسْمَعْ لِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي دَعَوْتُهُ: أَنَا هُوَ. أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، | ١٢ |
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: [when] I call to them, they stand up together.
| وَيَدِي أَسَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَيَمِينِي نَشَرَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. أَنَا أَدْعُوهُنَّ فَيَقِفْنَ مَعًا. | ١٣ |
14 All ye, assemble yourselves and hear; who among them hath declared these [things]? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
| اِجْتَمِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ أَخْبَرَ بِهَذِهِ؟ قَدْ أَحَبَّهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. يَصْنَعُ مَسَرَّتَهُ بِبَابِلَ، وَيَكُونُ ذِرَاعُهُ عَلَى ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ١٤ |
15 I, [even] I, have spoken, yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
| أَنَا أَنَا تَكَلَّمْتُ وَدَعَوْتُهُ. أَتَيْتُ بِهِ فَيَنْجَحُ طَرِيقُهُ. | ١٥ |
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the LORD God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
| تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعُوا هَذَا: لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ. مُنْذُ وُجُودِهِ أَنَا هُنَاكَ» وَٱلْآنَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْسَلَنِي وَرُوحُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldst go.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُعَلِّمُكَ لِتَنْتَفِعَ، وَأُمَشِّيكَ فِي طَرِيقٍ تَسْلُكُ فِيهِ. | ١٧ |
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
| لَيْتَكَ أَصْغَيْتَ لِوَصَايَايَ، فَكَانَ كَنَهْرٍ سَلَامُكَ وَبِرُّكَ كَلُجَجِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ١٨ |
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
| وَكَانَ كَٱلرَّمْلِ نَسْلُكَ، وَذُرِّيَّةُ أَحْشَائِكَ كَأَحْشَائِهِ. لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَلَا يُبَادُ ٱسْمُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. | ١٩ |
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
| «اُخْرُجُوا مِنْ بَابِلَ، ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. بِصَوْتِ ٱلتَّرَنُّمِ أَخْبِرُوا. نَادُوا بِهَذَا. شَيِّعُوهُ إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. قُولُوا: قَدْ فَدَى ٱلرَّبُّ عَبْدَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And they thirsted not, [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
| وَلَمْ يَعْطَشُوا فِي ٱلْقِفَارِ ٱلَّتِي سَيَّرَهُمْ فِيهَا. أَجْرَى لَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرِ مَاءً، وَشَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَ فَفَاضَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. | ٢١ |
22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.
| لَا سَلَامَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْأَشْرَارِ». | ٢٢ |
