Isaiah 59

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

١ انْظُرُوا، إِنَّ ذِرَاعَ الرَّبِّ لَيْسَتْ قَاصِرَةً حَتَّى تَعْجِزَ عَنْ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ، وَلا أُذُنَهُ ثَقِيلَةٌ حَتَّى لَا 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 إِنَّمَا خَطَايَاكُمْ أَضْحَتْ تَفْصِلُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَآثَامُكُمْ حَجَبَتْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ، فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ،

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

٣ لأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ تَلَوَّثَتْ بِالدَّمِ وَأَصَابِعَكُمْ بِالإِثْمِ، وَنَطَقَتْ شِفَاهُكُمْ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَلَهَجَتْ أَلْسِنَتُكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ.

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 بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ يُطَالِبُ بِالْعَدْلِ، أَوْ يَحْكُمُ بِالْحَقِّ. يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ وَيَتَفَوَّهُونَ بِالزُّورِ، يَحْبَلُونَ بِالْغِشِّ، وَيَلِدُونَ بِالإِثْمِ.

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 يَفْقِسُونَ بَيْضَ أَفْعَى، وَيَنْسِجُونَ خُيُوطَ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ. مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ بَيْضِهِمْ يَمُوتُ، وَمِنَ الْبَيْضَةِ الْمَكْسُورَةِ تَخْرُجُ حَيَّةٌ.

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 لَا تَصْلُحُ خُيُوطُهُمْ لِنَسِيجِ الثِّيَابِ، وَلا يَكْتَسُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ، لأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ هِيَ أَعْمَالُ إِثْمٍ، وَأَفْعَالُ الظُّلْمِ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَتْهَا 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 تُسْرِعُ أَرْجُلُهُمْ لاِقْتِرَافِ الشَّرِّ، وَيُهَرْوِلُونَ لِسَفْكِ دَمِ الْبَرِيءِ، أَفْكَارُهُمْ أَفْكَارٌ أَثِيمَةٌ، وَفِي طُرُقِهِمْ دَمَارٌ وَخَرَابٌ،

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 لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا سَبِيلَ السَّلامِ، وَلا عَدْلَ فِي مَسَالِكِهِمْ. عَوَّجُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَالسَّالِكُ فِيهَا لَا يَعْرِفُ سَلاماً.

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 الْحَقُّ ابْتَعَدَ عَنَّا، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْنَا الْعَدْلُ. نَرْتَقِبُ نُوراً، فَيُحْدِقُ بِنَا الظَّلامُ، وَنَنْشُدُ ضَوْءاً فَنَسْلُكُ فِي الْعَتْمَةِ.

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 نَتَحَسَّسُ الْحَائِطَ كَالأَعْمَى، وَنَتَلَمَّسُ كَالْمَكْفُوفِ، نَتَعَثَّرُ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ كَمَا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسِيرُ فِي عَتْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ وَنَكُونُ كَالأَمْوَاتِ بَيْنَ الْمُتَدَفِّقِينَ بِالْحَيَاةِ.

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 كُلُّنَا نُزَمْجِرُ كَالدِّبَبَةِ، وَنَنُوحُ كَالْحَمَامِ. نَبْحَثُ عَنِ الْعَدْلِ فَلا نَجِدُهُ، وَعَنِ الْخَلاصِ وَإذَا بِهِ قَدِ ابْتَعَدَ 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 لأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ أَمَامَكَ، وَآثَامَنَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا. فَمَعَاصِينَا مَعَنَا، وَذُنُوبُنَا 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 تَمَرَّدْنَا وَتَنَكَّرْنَا لِلرَّبِّ. ارْتَدَدْنَا عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ طُرُقِ إِلَهِنَا، تَفَوَّهْنَا بِالظُّلْمِ وَالْعِصْيَانِ افْتِرَاءً، وَبِكَلامِ زُورٍ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ.

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

١٤ قَدِ ارْتَدَّ عَنَّا الإِنْصَافُ، وَوَقَفَ الْعَدْلُ بَعِيداً، إِذْ سَقَطَ الْحَقُّ صَرِيعاً فِي الشَّوَارِعِ، وَالْبِرُّ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الدُّخُولَ.

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 أَضْحَى الْحَقُّ مَفْقُوداً، وَالْحَائِدُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ ضَحِيَّةً. رَأَى الرَّبُّ ذَلِكَ فَأَسْخَطَهُ فُقْدَانُ الإِنْصَافِ.

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 وَإِذْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِنْسَاناً يَنْتَصِرُ لِلْحَقِّ، وَأَدْهَشَهُ أَنْ لَا يَرَى شَفِيعاً، أَحْرَزَتْ لَهُ ذِرَاعُهُ انْتِصَاراً، وَعَضَدَهُ بِرُّهُ.

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 فَتَدَرَّعَ بِالْبِرِّ وَارْتَدَى عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خُوذَةَ الْخَلاصِ، وَاكْتَسَى بِثِيَابِ الانْتِقَامِ، وَالْتَفَّ بِعَبَاءَةِ الْغَضَبِ.

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 فَهُوَ يُجَازِيهِمْ بِمُقْتَضَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ. يُجَازِي أَعْدَاءَهُ، وَيُعَاقِبُ خُصُومَهُ، وَيُنْزِلُ الْقَصَاصَ بِالْجَزَائِرِ،

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 فَيَتَّقُونَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ، وَمِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ يَخْشَوْنَ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي الْعَدُوُّ كَنَهْرٍ مُتَدَفِّقٍ فَتَدْفَعُهُ رِيحُ الرَّبِّ.

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

٢٠ وَيُقْبِلُ الْفَادِي إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، وَإِلَى التَّائِبِينَ عَنْ مَعَاصِيهِمْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

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، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَهَذَا عَهْدِي مَعَهُمْ: إِنَّ رُوحِي الْحَالَّ عَلَيْكَ وَكَلامِي الَّذِي لَقَّنْتُكَ إِيَّاهُ، لَا يَزُولُ مِنْ فَمِكَ أَوْ مِنْ فَمِ أَبْنَائِكَ أَوْ أَحْفَادِكَ، مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.
