إِشَعْيَاءَ 26

١ 1 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يُغَنَّى بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُغْنِيَّةِ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا: لَنَا مَدِينَةٌ قَوِيَّةٌ. يَجْعَلُ ٱلْخَلَاصَ أَسْوَارًا وَمَتْرَسَةً.

In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah, —A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart,

٢ 2 اِفْتَحُوا ٱلْأَبْوَابَ لِتَدْخُلَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلْبَارَّةُ ٱلْحَافِظَةُ ٱلْأَمَانَةَ.

Open ye the gates, —That there may enter in—a righteous nation preserving fidelity.

٣ 3 ذُو ٱلرَّأْيِ ٱلْمُمَكَّنِ تَحْفَظُهُ سَالِمًا سَالِمًا، لِأَنَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مُتَوَكِّلٌ.

A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because in thee, hath he been led to trust.

٤ 4 تَوَكَّلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّ فِي يَاهَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَخْرَ ٱلدُّهُورِ.

Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity, —For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ يَخْفِضُ سُكَّانَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ، يَضَعُ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةَ. يَضَعُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. يُلْصِقُهَا بِٱلتُّرَابِ.

For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, —He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:

٦ 6 تَدُوسُهَا ٱلرِّجْلُ، رِجْلَا ٱلْبَائِسِ، أَقْدَامُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ.

The foot trampleth it, —The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,

٧ 7 طَرِيقُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ ٱسْتِقَامَةٌ. تُمَهِّدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ سَبِيلَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ.

The path of a righteous man, is, even, —O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.

٨ 8 فَفِي طَرِيقِ أَحْكَامِكَ يَارَبُّ ٱنْتَظَرْنَاكَ. إِلَى ٱسْمِكَ وَإِلَى ذِكْرِكَ شَهْوَةُ ٱلنَّفْسِ.

Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, —Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:

٩ 9 بِنَفْسِي ٱشْتَهَيْتُكَ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. أَيْضًا بِرُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي إِلَيْكَ أَبْتَكِرُ. لِأَنَّهُ حِينَمَا تَكُونُ أَحْكَامُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَعَلَّمُ سُكَّانُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ ٱلْعَدْلَ.

With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, —For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.

١٠ 10 يُرْحَمُ ٱلْمُنَافِقُ وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُ ٱلْعَدْلَ. فِي أَرْضِ ٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ يَصْنَعُ شَرًّا وَلَا يَرَى جَلَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, —And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.

١١ 11 يَارَبُّ، ٱرْتَفَعَتْ يَدُكَ وَلَا يَرَوْنَ. يَرَوْنَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارُ أَعْدَائِكَ.

O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, —yet do they not see, Would they might see—and turn pale at a people’s zeal, —Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!

١٢ 12 يَارَبُّ، تَجْعَلُ لَنَا سَلَامًا لِأَنَّكَ كُلَّ أَعْمَالِنَا صَنَعْتَهَا لَنَا.

O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, —For even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,

١٣ 13 أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، قَدِ ٱسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْنَا سَادَةٌ سِوَاكَ. بِكَ وَحْدَكَ نَذْكُرُ ٱسْمَكَ.

O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, —By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.

١٤ 14 هُمْ أَمْوَاتٌ لَا يَحْيَوْنَ. أَخْيِلَةٌ لَا تَقُومُ. لِذَلِكَ عَاقَبْتَ وَأَهْلَكْتَهُمْ وَأَبَدْتَ كُلَّ ذِكْرِهِمْ.

The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise, —Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.

١٥ 15 زِدْتَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ يَارَبُّ، زِدْتَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ. تَمَجَّدْتَ. وَسَّعْتَ كُلَّ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.

١٦ 16 يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ طَلَبُوكَ. سَكَبُوا مُخَافَتَةً عِنْدَ تَأْدِيبِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ.

O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, —They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.

١٧ 17 كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْحُبْلَى ٱلَّتِي تُقَارِبُ ٱلْوِلَادَةَ تَتَلَوَّى وَتَصْرُخُ فِي مَخَاضِهَا، هَكَذَا كُنَّا قُدَّامَكَ يَارَبُّ.

Like as a woman with child—Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; —

١٨ 18 حَبِلْنَا تَلَوَّيْنَا كَأَنَّنَا وَلَدْنَا رِيحًا. لَمْ نَصْنَعْ خَلَاصًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَسْقُطْ سُكَّانُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ.

We were with child—We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, —Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were born the inhabitants of the world.

١٩ 19 تَحْيَا أَمْوَاتُكَ، تَقُومُ ٱلْجُثَثُ. ٱسْتَيْقِظُوا، تَرَنَّمُوا يَا سُكَّانَ ٱلتُّرَابِ. لِأَنَّ طَلَّكَ طَلُّ أَعْشَابٍ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُسْقِطُ ٱلْأَخْيِلَةَ.

Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, —Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.

٢٠ 20 هَلُمَّ يَا شَعْبِي ٱدْخُلْ مَخَادِعَكَ، وَأَغْلِقْ أَبْوَابَكَ خَلْفَكَ. ٱخْتَبِئْ نَحْوَ لُحَيْظَةٍ حَتَّى يَعْبُرَ ٱلْغَضَبُ.

Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, —Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ لِيُعَاقِبَ إِثْمَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِيهِمْ، فَتَكْشِفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ دِمَاءَهَا وَلَا تُغَطِّي قَتْلَاهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him, —Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.
