Isaiah 54

1 “Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says Yahweh.

١ تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا الْعَاقِرُ الَّتِي لَمْ تُنْجِبْ، أَشِيدِي بِالتَّرَنُّمِ وَالْهُتَافِ يَا مَنْ لَمْ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ، لأَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ الْمُسْتَوْحِشَةِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ ذَاتِ الزَّوْجِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.

٢ وَسِّعِي فَسْحَةَ خَيْمَتِكِ وَابْسُطِي سَتَائِرَ مَسَاكِنِكِ، لَا تُضَيِّقِي. أَطِيلِي حِبَالَ خَيْمَتِكِ وَرَسِّخِي أَوْتَادَكِ،

3 For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.

٣ لأَنَّكِ سَتَمْتَدِّينَ يَمِيناً وَشِمَالاً، وَيَرِثُ نَسْلُكِ أُمَماً وَيُعْمِرُونَ الْمُدُنَ الْخَرِبَةَ،

4 “Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.

٤ لَا تَجْزَعِي لأَنَّكِ لَنْ تَخْزَيْ، وَلا تَخْجَلِي لأَنَّهُ لَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِكِ عَارٌ، فَأَنْتِ سَتَنْسَيْنَ خِزْيَ صِبَاكِ، وَلَنْ تَذْكُرِي مِنْ بَعْدُ عَارَ تَرَمُّلِكِ.

5 For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.

٥ لأَنَّ صَانِعَكِ هُوَ زَوْجُكِ، وَالرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ، وَفَادِيكِ هُوَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي يُدْعَى إِلَهَ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

6 For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

٦ قَدْ دَعَاكِ الرَّبُّ كَزَوْجَةٍ مَهْجُورَةٍ مَكْرُوبَةِ الرُّوحِ، كَزَوْجَةِ عَهْدِ الصِّبَا الْمَنْبُوذَةِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

7 “For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.

٧ لَقَدْ هَجَرْتُكِ لَحْظَةً، وَلَكِنِّي بِمَرَاحِمَ كَثِيرَةٍ أَجْمَعُكِ.

8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.

٨ فِي لَحْظَةِ غَضَبٍ جَامِحٍ حَجَبْتُ وَجْهِي عَنْكِ، وَلَكِنِّي بِحُبٍّ أَبَدِيٍّ أَرْحَمُكِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكِ.

9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

٩ لأَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ نَظِيرُ أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ، حِينَ أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا تَعُودَ مِيَاهُ طُوفَانٍ تَفِيضُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، كَذَلِكَ أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَغْضَبَ عَلَيْكِ أَوْ أَزْجُرَكِ.

10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says Yahweh who has mercy on you.

١٠ إِنَّ الْجِبَالَ تَزُولُ وَالتِّلالَ تَتَزَحْزَحُ، أَمَّا رَحْمَتِي الثَّابِتَةُ فَلا تُفَارِقُكِ، وَعَهْدُ سَلامِي لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ رَاحِمُكِ.

11 “You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

١١ أَيَّتُهَا الْمَنْكُوبَةُ وَغَيْرُ الْمُتَعَزِّيَةِ، الَّتِي اقْتَلَعَتْهَا الْعَاصِفَةُ، هَا أَنَا أَبْنِي بِالأُثْمُدِ حِجَارَتَكِ، وَأُرْسِي أَسَاسَاتِكِ بِالْيَاقُوتِ الأَزْرَقِ،

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

١٢ وَأَصْنَعُ شُرَفَكِ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ، وَأَبْوَابَكِ مِنْ حِجَارَةِ بَهْرَمَانَ، وَكُلَّ أَسْوَارِكِ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ

13 All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great.

١٣ يَكُونُ جَمِيعُ أَبْنَائِكِ تَلامِيذَ الرَّبِّ، وَيَعُمُّهُمْ سَلامٌ عَظِيمٌ.

14 You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.

١٤ بِالْبِرِّ يَتِمُّ تَرْسِيخُكِ، وَتَكُونِينَ بَعِيدَةً عَنْ كُلِّ ضِيقٍ فَلَنْ تَخَافِي، وَنَائِيَةً عَنِ الرُّعْبِ لأَنَّهُ لَنْ يَقْتَرِبَ مِنْكِ.

15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

١٥ فَإِذَا حَشَدَ عَدُوٌّ جُيُوشَهُ لِقِتَالِكُمْ، فَلَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ بِأَمْرٍ مِنِّي، لِهَذَا أَقْضِي عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يُعَادِيكُمْ وَأَحْمِيكُمْ

16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

١٦ «هَا أَنَا قَدْ خَلَقْتُ الْحَدَّادَ الَّذِي يَنْفُخُ الْفَحْمَ فِي النَّارِ، وَيُخْرِجُ أَدَاةً يَعْمَلُ بِها، وَأَنَا الَّذِي خَلَقْتُ الْمُهْلِكَ الْمُدَمِّرَ.

17 No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

١٧ لَا يُحَالِفُ التَّوْفِيقُ أَيَّ سِلاحٍ صُنِعَ لِمُهَاجَمَتِكِ، وَكُلُّ لِسَانٍ يَتَّهِمُكِ أَمَامَ الْقَضَاءِ تُفْحِمِينَهُ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ مِيرَاثُ عَبِيدِ الرَّبِّ، وَبِرُّهُمُ الَّذِي أَنْعَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.
