< Isaiah 64 >

1 Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
لَيْتَكَ تَشُقُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَنْزِلُ فَتَتَزَلْزَلَ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ!١
2 [As when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thy adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at thy presence!
فَتَكُونُ كَالنَّارِ الَّتِي تُضْرِمُ الْهَشِيمَ، وَتَجْعَلُ الْمِيَاهَ تَغْلِي لِكَيْ تُعَرِّفَ أَعْدَاءَكَ اسْمَكَ، فَتَرْتَعِبُ الأُمَمُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.٢
3 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
عِنْدَمَا أَجْرَيْتَ أَعْمَالاً مُخِيفَةً لَمْ نَتَوَقَّعْهَا، نَزَلْتَ فَتَزَلْزَلَتِ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.٣
4 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَحَدٌ وَلَمْ تُصْغِ أُذُنٌ وَلَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ إِلَهاً سِوَاكَ يُجْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُهُ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ.٤
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth, and worketh righteousness, [those that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
أَنْتَ تُلاقِي مَنْ يَفْرَحُ بِعَمَلِ الْبِرِّ وَمَنْ يَسْلُكُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِكَ. لَكَمْ سُخْطْتَ عَلَيْنَا لأَنَّنَا وَاظَبْنَا عَلَى ارْتِكَابِ الآثَامِ زَمَاناً طَوِيلاً، فَكَيْفَ لِمِثْلِنَا أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟٥
6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
كُلُّنَا أَصْبَحْنَا كَنَجِسٍ، وَأَضْحَتْ جَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بِرِّنَا كَثَوْبٍ قَذِرٍ، فَذَبُلْنَا كَأَوْرَاقِ الشَّجَرِ وَعَبَثَتْ بِنَا آثَامُنَا كَالرِّيحِ.٦
7 And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يُنَادِي بِاسْمِكَ، وَيَحْرِصُ عَلَى التَّمَسُّكِ بِكَ لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ وَجْهَكَ عَنَّا ولاشَيْتَنَا بِسَبَبِ مَعَاصِينَا.٧
8 But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ أَبُونَا، نَحْنُ الطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ الْخَزَّافُ، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.٨
9 Be not very wroth, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people.
لَا تُوْغِلْ فِي غَضَبِكَ عَلَيْنَا يَا رَبُّ، وَلا تَذْكُرِ الإِثْمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. إِنَّمَا انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا، فَكُلُّنَا شَعْبُكَ.٩
10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
قَدِ اسْتَحَالَتْ مَدِينَتُكَ الْمُقَدَّسَةُ إِلَى قَفْرٍ، وَأَصْبَحَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ بَرِّيَّةً وَأُورُشَلِيمُ مُوحِشَةً،١٠
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
وَاحْتَرَقَ بِالنَّارِ هَيْكَلُنَا الْمُقَدَّسُ الْبَهِيُّ، الَّذِي شَدَا آبَاؤُنَا فِيهِ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ، وَصَارَ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ أَثِيرٌ لَدَيْنَا خَرَاباً.١١
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and grievously afflict us?
هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ تَسْكُتُ يَا رَبُّ، وَتَعْتَصِمُ بِالصَّمْتِ وَتُنْزِلُ بِنَا أَشَدَّ الْبَلاءِ؟١٢
