Isaiah 59

1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

١ هَا إِنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ لَمْ تَقْصُرْ عَنْ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ، وَلَمْ تَثْقَلْ أُذُنُهُ عَنْ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ.

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.

٢ بَلْ آثَامُكُمْ صَارَتْ فَاصِلَةً بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ سَتَرَتْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath uttered perverseness.

٣ لِأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ بِٱلدَّمِ، وَأَصَابِعَكُمْ بِٱلْإِثْمِ. شِفَاهُكُمْ تَكَلَّمَتْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانُكُمْ يَلْهَجُ بِٱلشَّرِّ.

4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

٤ لَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱلْعَدْلِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُحَاكِمُ بِٱلْحَقِّ. يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. قَدْ حَبِلُوا بِتَعَبٍ، وَوَلَدُوا إِثْمًا.

5 They hatch cockatrice eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

٥ فَقَسُوا بَيْضَ أَفْعَى، وَنَسَجُوا خُيُوطَ ٱلْعَنْكَبُوتِ. ٱلْآكِلُ مِنْ بَيْضِهِمْ يَمُوتُ، وَٱلَّتِي تُكْسَرُ تُخْرِجُ أَفْعَى.

6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works [are] works of iniquity, and the act of violence [is] in their hands.

٦ خُيُوطُهُمْ لَا تَصِيرُ ثَوْبًا، وَلَا يَكْتَسُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْمَالُهُمْ أَعْمَالُ إِثْمٍ، وَفَعْلُ ٱلظُّلْمِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ.

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction [are] in their paths.

٧ أَرْجُلُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلشَّرِّ تَجْرِي، وَتُسْرِعُ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلزَّكِيِّ. أَفْكَارُهُمْ أَفْكَارُ إِثْمٍ. فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسَحْقٌ.

8 The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

٨ طَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي مَسَالِكِهِمْ عَدْلٌ. جَعَلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سُبُلًا مُعْوَجَّةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسِيرُ فِيهَا لَا يَعْرِفُ سَلَامًا.

9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, [but] we walk in darkness.

٩ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱبْتَعَدَ ٱلْحَقُّ عَنَّا، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْنَا ٱلْعَدْلُ. نَنْتَظِرُ نُورًا فَإِذَا ظَلَامٌ. ضِيَاءً فَنَسِيرُ فِي ظَلَامٍ دَامِسٍ.

10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if [we had] no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; [we are] in desolate places as dead [men].

١٠ نَتَلَمَّسُ ٱلْحَائِطَ كَعُمْيٍ، وَكَٱلَّذِي بِلَا أَعْيُنٍ نَتَجَسَّسُ. قَدْ عَثَرْنَا فِي ٱلظُّهْرِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ، فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ كَمَوْتَى.

11 We all roar like bears, and mourn bitterly like doves: we look for judgment, but [there is] none; for salvation, [but] it is far from us.

١١ نَزْأَرُ كُلُّنَا كَدُبَّةٍ، وَكَحَمَامٍ هَدْرًا نَهْدِرُ. نَنْتَظِرُ عَدْلًا وَلَيْسَ هُوَ، وَخَلَاصًا فَيَبْتَعِدُ عَنَّا.

12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions [are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities, we know them;

١٢ لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ أَمَامَكَ، وَخَطَايَانَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا، لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا مَعَنَا، وَآثَامَنَا نَعْرِفُهَا.

13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

١٣ تَعَدَّيْنَا وَكَذِبْنَا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَحِدْنَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ إِلَهِنَا. تَكَلَّمْنَا بِٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ. حَبِلْنَا وَلَهَجْنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَلْبِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ.

14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

١٤ وَقَدِ ٱرْتَدَّ ٱلْحَقُّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَٱلْعَدْلُ يَقِفُ بَعِيدًا. لِأَنَّ ٱلصِّدْقَ سَقَطَ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ، وَٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلدُّخُولَ.

15 Yes, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment.

١٥ وَصَارَ ٱلصِّدْقُ مَعْدُومًا، وَٱلْحَائِدُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُسْلَبُ. فَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ وَسَاءَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَدْلٌ.

16 And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that [there was] no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

١٦ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَتَحَيَّرَ مِنْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَفِيعٌ. فَخَلَّصَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَبِرُّهُ هُوَ عَضَدَهُ.

17 For he put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.

١٧ فَلَبِسَ ٱلْبِرَّ كَدِرْعٍ، وَخُوذَةَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابَ ٱلِٱنْتِقَامِ كَلِبَاسٍ، وَٱكْتَسَى بِٱلْغَيْرَةِ كَرِدَاءٍ.

18 According to [their] deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the isles he will repay recompense.

١٨ حَسَبَ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ هَكَذَا يُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيهِ سَخَطًا، وَأَعْدَاءَهُ عِقَابًا. جَزَاءً يُجَازِي ٱلْجَزَائِرَ.

19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

١٩ فَيَخَافُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ مَجْدَهُ. عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي ٱلْعَدُوُّ كَنَهْرٍ فَنَفْخَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَدْفَعُهُ.

20 And the Redeemer will come to Zion, and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

٢٠ «وَيَأْتِي ٱلْفَادِي إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَإِلَى ٱلتَّائِبِينَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ فِي يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

21 As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

٢١ أَمَّا أَنَا فَهَذَا عَهْدِي مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: رُوحِي ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ، وَكَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُهُ فِي فَمِكَ لَا يَزُولُ مِنْ فَمِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِ نَسْلِكَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنَ ٱلْآنَ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.
