< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
هَذِهِ هِيَ رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، الَّتِي أُعْلِنَتْ لَهُ بِشَأْنِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ كُلٍّ مِنْ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحِزْقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا.١
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ: «رَبَّيْتُ أَبْنَاءَ وَأَنْشَأْتُهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ.٢
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
الثَّوْرُ يَعْرِفُ قَانِيَهُ، وَالْحِمَارُ مَعْلِفَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَلا يَعْرِفُ، وَشَعْبِي لَا يُدْرِكُ.٣
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
وَيْلٌ لِلأُمَّةِ الْخَاطِئَةِ، الشَّعْبِ الْمُثَقَّلِ بِالإِثْمِ، ذُرِّيَّةِ مُرْتَكِبِي الشَّرِّ، أَبْنَاءِ الْفَسَادِ. لَقَدْ تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَدَارُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ.٤
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
عَلَى أَيِّ مَوْضِعٍ أَضْرِبُكُمْ بَعْدُ؟ لِمَاذَا تُوَاظِبُونَ عَلَى التَّمَرُّدِ؟ إِنَّ الرَّأْسَ بِجُمْلَتِهِ سَقِيمٌ وَالْقَلْبَ بِكَامِلِهِ مَرِيضٌ.٥
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head [there is] no soundness in [it]; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
مِنْ أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ إِلَى قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ عَافِيَةٌ. كُلُّهُ جُرُوحٌ وَأَحْبَاطٌ وَقُرُوحٌ لَمْ تُنَظَّفْ، وَلَمْ تُضَمَّدْ، وَلَمْ تُلَيَّنْ بِالزَّيْتِ.٦
7 Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
عَمَّ الْخَرَابُ بِلادَكُمْ وَالْتَهَمَتِ النَّارُ مُدُنَكُمْ. نَهَبَ الْغُرَبَاءُ حُقُولَكُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ. هِيَ خَرِبَةٌ، عَاثَ فِيهَا الْغُرَبَاءُ فَسَاداً.٧
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
فَأَضْحَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَهْجُورَةً كَمِظَلَّةِ حَارِسٍ فِي كَرْمٍ أَوْ خَيْمَةٍ فِي حَقْلٍ لِلْقَثَاءِ أَوْ كَمَدِينَةٍ مُحَاصَرَةٍ.٨
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom; we should have been like Gomorrah.
لَوْلا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ حَفِظَ لَنَا بَقِيَّةً يَسِيرَةً، لأَصْبَحْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ.٩
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَا حُكَّامَ سَدُومَ. أَصْغُوا إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِنَا يَا أَهْلَ عَمُورَةَ:١٠
11 To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
مَاذَا تُجْدِينِي كَثْرَةُ ذَبَائِحِكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ؟ اتَّخَمْتُ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ كِبَاشٍ وَشَحْمِ الْمُسَمَّنَاتِ، وَلا أُسَرُّ بِدَمِ عُجُولٍ وَخِرْفَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ.١١
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
حِينَ جِئْتُمْ لِتَمْثُلُوا أَمَامِي، مَنْ طَلَبَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَدُوسُوا دُورِي؟١٢
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
كُفُّوا عَنْ تَقْدِيمِ قَرَابِينَ بَاطِلَةٍ، فَالْبَخُورُ رِجْسٌ لِي، وَكَذَلِكَ رَأْسُ الشَّهْرِ وَالسَّبْتُ وَالدُّعَاءُ إِلَى الْمَحْفَلِ، فَأَنَا لَا أُطِيقُ الاعْتِكَافَ مَعَ ارْتِكَابِ الإِثْمِ.١٣
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear [them].
لَشَدَّ مَا تُبْغِضُ نَفْسِي احْتِفَالاتِ رُؤُوسِ شُهُورِكُمْ وَمَوَاسِمَ أَعْيَادِكُمْ! صَارَتْ عَلَيَّ عِبْئاً، وَسَئِمْتُ حَمْلَهَا.١٤
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
عِنْدَمَا تَبْسُطُونَ نَحْوِي أَيْدِيَكُمْ أَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ أَكْثَرْتُمُ الصَّلاةَ لَا أَسْتَجِيبُ، لأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ مَمْلُوءَةٌ دَماً.١٥
16 Wash ye, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
اغْتَسِلُوا، تَطَهَّرُوا، أَزِيلُوا شَرَّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. كُفُّوا عَنِ اقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ،١٦
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
وَتَعَلَّمُوا الإِحْسَانَ، انْشُدُوا الْحَقَّ، أَنْصِفُوا الْمَظْلُومَ، اقْضُوا لِلْيَتِيمِ، وَدَافِعُوا عَنِ الأَرْمَلَةِ.١٧
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
تَعَالَوْا نَتَحَاجَجْ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاكُمْ كَلَطَخَاتٍ قِرْمِزِيَّةٍ فَإِنَّهَا تَبْيَضُّ كَالثَّلْجِ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ حَمْرَاءَ كَصَبْغةِ الدُّودِيِّ تُصْبِحُ فِي نَقَاءِ الصُّوفِ!١٨
19 If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَأَطَعْتُمْ تَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِخَيْرَاتِ الأَرْضِ،١٩
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ فَالسَّيْفُ يَلْتَهِمُكُمْ، لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ.٢٠
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
كَيْفَ صَارَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ الأَمِينَةُ عَاهِرَةً؟ كَانَتْ تَفِيضُ حَقّاً، وَيَأْوِي إِلَيْهَا الْعَدْلُ، فَأَصْبَحَتْ وَكْراً لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ.٢١
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
صَارَتْ فِضَّتُكِ مُزَيَّفَةً، وَخَمْرُكِ مَغْشُوشَةً بِمَاءٍ.٢٢
23 Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.
أَصْبَحَ رُؤَسَاؤُكِ عُصَاةً وَشُرَكَاءَ لُصُوصٍ، يُوْلَعُونَ بِالرِّشْوَةِ وَيَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ الْهِبَاتِ، لَا يُدَافِعُونَ عَنِ الْيَتِيمِ، وَلا تُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِمْ دَعْوَى الأَرْمَلَةِ».٢٣
24 Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، عَزِيزُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَأَسْتَرِيحَنَّ مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ وَلَأَنْتَقِمَنَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.٢٤
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
لَأُعَاقِبَنَّكِ وَأُنَقِّيَنَّكِ مِنْ غِشِّكِ كَمَا تُنَقَّى الْمَعَادِنُ بِالْبَوْرَقِ، وَأُصَفِّيَنَّكِ مِنْ قَصْدِيرِكِ،٢٥
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
وَأُعِيدُ قُضَاتَكِ كَمَا كَانُوا فِي الْحِقَبِ الْغَابِرَةِ، وَمُشِيرِيكِ كَمَا كَانُوا فِي الْعُهُودِ الأُولَى. عِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْعَيْنَ مَدِينَةَ الْعَدْلِ، الْمَدِينَةَ الأَمِينَةَ.٢٦
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
فَتُفْدَى صِهْيَوْنُ بِالْحَقِّ، وَتَائِبُوهَا بِالْبِرِّ.٢٧
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
أَمَّا الْعُصَاةُ وَالْخُطَاةُ فَيَتَحَطَّمُونَ جَمِيعاً، وَيَبِيدُ الَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ.٢٨
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
وَيَعْتَرِيكُمْ خَجَلٌ لِعِبَادَتِكُمْ شَجَرَةَ الْبَلُّوطِ الَّتِي شُغِفْتُمْ بِها، وَالْعَارُ لإِيثَارِكُمُ الْحَدَائِقَ بِأَوْثَانِهَا.٢٩
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
لأَنَّكُمْ تُصْبِحُونَ كَبَلُّوطَةٍ ذَبُلَتْ أَوْرَاقُهَا، أَوْ حَدِيقَةٍ غَاضَ مِنْهَا الْمَاءُ،٣٠
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].
فَيَصِيرُ القَوِيُّ كَفَتِيلَةٍ وَأَعْمَالُهُ (الشِّرِّيرَةُ) شَرَارَةً لاهِبَةً فَيَحْتَرِقَانِ مَعاً بِنَارٍ لَا يَقْوَى أَحَدٌ عَلَى إِخْمَادِهَا».٣١
