< اشعیا 1 >
این کتاب شامل رؤیاهایی است که اشعیا پسر آموص دربارهٔ یهودا و پایتخت آن اورشلیم دید. او این رؤیاها را در دوران سلطنت عُزیا، یوتام، آحاز و حِزِقیا، پادشاهان سرزمین یهودا دید. | 1 |
[I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
ای آسمان و زمین، به آنچه خداوند میفرماید گوش کنید: «فرزندان پروردم و بزرگ کردم، اما آنها بر ضد من برخاستند. | 2 |
This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
گاو مالک خود را و الاغ صاحب خویش را میشناسد، اما قوم من فهم ندارد و اسرائیل خدای خود را نمیشناسد.» | 3 |
Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
وای بر شما قوم گناهکار که پشتتان زیر بار گناهانتان خم شده است. وای بر شما مردم شرور و فاسد که از خداوند، قدوس اسرائیل روگردانده و او را ترک گفتهاید. | 4 |
Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
چرا باز کاری میکنید که صدمه ببینید؟ آیا به اندازهٔ کافی مجازات نشدهاید؟ ای اسرائیل، فکر و دلت تماماً بیمار است. | 5 |
Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
از سر تا پا مجروح و مضروب هستی؛ جای سالم در بدنت نمانده است. زخمهایت باز مانده و عفونی شده، کسی آنها را بخیه نزده و مرهم نمالیده است. | 6 |
[It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
ای قوم اسرائیل، سرزمینتان ویران گشته و شهرهایتان به آتش کشیده شده است. بیگانگان در برابر چشمانتان سرزمینتان را غارت میکنند و آنچه میبینند به نابودی میکشند. | 7 |
[It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
اورشلیم همچون کلبهای در تاکستان و مانند آلونکی در بوستان خیار، بیدفاع و تنها مانده است. | 8 |
The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
اگر خداوند لشکرهای آسمان باقیماندگانی برایمان نمیگذاشت مانند اهالی سدوم و عموره به کلی از بین رفته بودیم. | 9 |
If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
ای حاکمان و ای مردم اورشلیم که چون اهالی سدوم و عموره فاسد هستید، به کلام خداوند گوش دهید. | 10 |
You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
او میفرماید: «از قربانیهای شما بیزارم. دیگر قربانیهای سوختنی به حضور من نیاورید. قوچهای فربهٔ شما را نمیخواهم. دیگر مایل نیستم خون گاوها و برهها و بزغالهها را ببینم. | 11 |
He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
چه کسی از شما خواسته که وقتی به حضور من میآیید این قربانیها را با خود بیاورید؟ چه کسی به شما اجازه داده که اینچنین آستان خانهٔ مرا پایمال کنید؟ | 12 |
When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
دیگر این هدایای باطل را نیاورید. من از بخوری که میسوزانید نفرت دارم و از اجتماعات مذهبی و مراسمی که در اول ماه و در روز شَبّات بجا میآورید بیزارم. نمیتوانم این اجتماعات گناهآلود را تحمل کنم. | 13 |
Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
از جشنهای ماه نو و اعیاد مذهبی شما متنفرم و تحمل دیدن هیچکدام را ندارم. | 14 |
I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
هرگاه دستهایتان را به سوی آسمان دراز کنید، روی خود را از شما برخواهم گرداند و چون دعای بسیار کنید، اجابت نخواهم نمود؛ زیرا دستهای شما به خون آلوده است. | 15 |
[So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
«خود را بشویید و طاهر شوید! گناهانی را که در حضور من مرتکب شدهاید از خود دور کنید. | 16 |
Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
نیکوکاری را بیاموزید و با انصاف باشید. به ستمدیدگان کمک کنید، به داد یتیمان برسید و از حق بیوهزنان دفاع کنید.» | 17 |
Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
خداوند میفرماید: «بیایید این موضوع را بین خود حل کنیم: اگرچه لکههای گناهانتان به سرخی خون باشد، اما من آنها را مانند پشم پاک میکنم و شما را همچون برف سفید میسازم! | 18 |
Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
کافی است مرا اطاعت کنید تا شما را از محصول زمین سیر کنم. | 19 |
If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
اما اگر به سرپیچی از من ادامه دهید، به دم شمشیر دشمن کشته خواهید شد.» این کلام خداوند است. | 20 |
But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
ای اورشلیم، زمانی تو نسبت به خداوند وفادار بودی، اما اینک همچون یک فاحشه به دنبال خدایان دیگر میروی. زمانی شهر عدل و انصاف بودی، اما اکنون شهر جنایتکاران شدهای. | 21 |
“[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
زمانی چون نقره خالص بودی، ولی اینک فلزی بیمصرف شدهای. زمانی همچون شراب ناب بودی، ولی اکنون با شرابی آمیخته با آب شدهای. | 22 |
Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
رهبرانت شورشگر و شریک دزدانند؛ همه رشوهخوارند و هدیه میگیرند؛ از یتیمان حمایت نمیکنند و به دادخواهی بیوهزنان گوش نمیدهند. | 23 |
Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
بنابراین خداوند، خداوند لشکرهای آسمان، خداوند متعال اسرائیل، به آنها میگوید: «شما دشمن من هستید؛ تا از شما انتقام نگیرم آرام نمیشوم. | 24 |
Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
دست خود را به ضد شما بلند میکنم و شما را مثل فلز در کوره میگدازم تا از ناخالصی خود پاک شوید. | 25 |
I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
«مانند گذشته، رهبران و مشاورانی لایق به شما خواهم بخشید تا اورشلیم را به شهر عدالت و امانت مشهور سازند.» | 26 |
[After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
صَهیون به انصاف نجات خواهد یافت و اهالی توبهکار آن به عدالت احیا خواهند شد. | 27 |
Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
اما گناهکاران و عصیانگران را به هلاکت خواهد رساند و کسانی را که او را ترک کنند نابود خواهد کرد. | 28 |
But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
شما از بتپرستی خود در زیر درختان بلوط باغهایتان خجل و شرمسار خواهید شد، | 29 |
You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
و مانند بلوطی خشک و باغی بیآب، از بین خواهید رفت. | 30 |
You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
مردان زورمند شما با اعمالشان مانند کاه در آتش خواهند سوخت و کسی قادر نخواهد بود آنها را نجات دهد. | 31 |
Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
