< إِشَعْيَاءَ 40 >

عَزُّوا، عَزُّوا شَعْبِي، يَقُولُ إِلَهُكُمْ. ١ 1
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
طَيِّبُوا قَلْبَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَادُوهَا بِأَنَّ جِهَادَهَا قَدْ كَمُلَ، أَنَّ إِثْمَهَا قَدْ عُفِيَ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهَا قَدْ قَبِلَتْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِعْفَيْنِ عَنْ كُلِّ خَطَايَاهَا. ٢ 2
Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare has been completed, That her punishment has been accepted, That she has received from the hand of YHWH Double for all her sins.
صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: «أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ. قَوِّمُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ سَبِيلًا لِإِلَهِنَا. ٣ 3
A voice is crying in a wilderness: “Prepare the way of YHWH, Make straight in a desert a highway for our God.
كُلُّ وَطَاءٍ يَرْتَفِعُ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَأَكَمَةٍ يَنْخَفِضُ، وَيَصِيرُ ٱلْمُعْوَجُّ مُسْتَقِيمًا، وَٱلْعَرَاقِيبُ سَهْلًا. ٤ 4
Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place has become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
فَيُعْلَنُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَرَاهُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ جَمِيعًا، لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ». ٥ 5
And the glory of YHWH has been revealed, And all flesh have seen [it] together, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.”
صَوْتُ قَائِلٍ: «نَادِ». فَقَالَ: «بِمَاذَا أُنَادِي؟» «كُلُّ جَسَدٍ عُشْبٌ، وَكُلُّ جَمَالِهِ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٦ 6
A voice is saying, “Call,” And he said, “What do I call?” All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodness [Is] as a flower of the field:
يَبِسَ ٱلْعُشْبُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّهْرُ، لِأَنَّ نَفْخَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ. حَقًّا ٱلشَّعْبُ عُشْبٌ! ٧ 7
Grass has withered, the flower faded, For the Spirit of YHWH blew on it, Surely the people [is] grass;
يَبِسَ ٱلْعُشْبُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّهْرُ. وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ إِلَهِنَا فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». ٨ 8
Grass has withered, the flower faded, But a word of our God rises forever.
عَلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ ٱصْعَدِي، يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱرْفَعِي صَوْتَكِ بِقُوَّةٍ، يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٱرْفَعِي لَا تَخَافِي. قُولِي لِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: «هُوَذَا إِلَهُكِ. ٩ 9
Get up on a high mountain, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up your voice with power, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, do not fear, say to cities of Judah, “Behold, your God.”
هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُوَّةٍ يَأْتِي وَذِرَاعُهُ تَحْكُمُ لَهُ. هُوَذَا أُجْرَتُهُ مَعَهُ وَعُمْلَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُ. ١٠ 10
Behold, Lord YHWH comes with strength, And His arm is ruling for Him, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage before Him.
كَرَاعٍ يَرْعَى قَطِيعَهُ. بِذِرَاعِهِ يَجْمَعُ ٱلْحُمْلَانَ، وَفِي حِضْنِهِ يَحْمِلُهَا، وَيَقُودُ ٱلْمُرْضِعَاتِ». ١١ 11
He feeds His flock as a shepherd, He gathers lambs with His arm, And He carries [them] in His bosom: He leads suckling ones.
مَنْ كَالَ بِكَفِّهِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ، وَقَاسَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ بِٱلشِّبْرِ، وَكَالَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَوَزَنَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بِٱلْقَبَّانِ، وَٱلْآكَامَ بِٱلْمِيزَانِ؟ ١٢ 12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And has meted out the heavens by a span, And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, And has weighed the mountains in scales, And the hills in a balance?
مَنْ قَاسَ رُوحَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمَنْ مُشِيرُهُ يُعَلِّمُهُ؟ ١٣ 13
Who has meted out the Spirit of YHWH, And [being] His counselor, teaches Him?
مَنِ ٱسْتَشَارَهُ فَأَفْهَمَهُ وَعَلَّمَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَعَلَّمَهُ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَرَّفَهُ سَبِيلَ ٱلْفَهْمِ.؟ ١٤ 14
With whom [did] He consult, That he causes Him to understand? And teaches Him in the path of judgment, And teaches Him knowledge? And causes Him to know the way of understanding?
هُوَذَا ٱلْأُمَمُ كَنُقْطَةٍ مِنْ دَلْوٍ، وَكَغُبَارِ ٱلْمِيزَانِ تُحْسَبُ. هُوَذَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ يَرْفَعُهَا كَدُقَّةٍ! ١٥ 15
Behold, nations [are] as a drop from a bucket, And have been reckoned as small dust of the balance, Behold, He takes up islands as a small thing.
وَلُبْنَانُ لَيْسَ كَافِيًا لِلْإِيقَادِ، وَحَيَوَانُهُ لَيْسَ كَافِيًا لِمُحْرَقَةٍ. ١٦ 16
And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَلَا شَيْءٍ قُدَّامَهُ. مِنَ ٱلْعَدَمِ وَٱلْبَاطِلِ تُحْسَبُ عِنْدَهُ. ١٧ 17
All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
فَبِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَ ٱللهَ، وَأَيَّ شَبَهٍ تُعَادِلُونَ بِهِ؟ ١٨ 18
And to whom do you liken God, And what likeness do you compare to Him?
اَلصَّنَمُ يَسْبِكُهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ، وَٱلصَّائِغُ يُغَشِّيهِ بِذَهَبٍ وَيَصُوغُ سَلَاسِلَ فِضَّةٍ. ١٩ 19
An artisan has poured out the carved image, And a refiner spreads it over with gold, And he is refining chains of silver.
ٱلْفَقِيرُ عَنِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ يَنْتَخِبُ خَشَبًا لَا يُسَوِّسُ، يَطْلُبُ لَهُ صَانِعًا مَاهِرًا لِيَنْصُبَ صَنَمًا لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ! ٢٠ 20
He who is poor [by] raised-offerings, Chooses a tree [that is] not rotten, He seeks a skillful artisan for it, To establish a carved image—not moved.
أَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ؟ أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ؟ أَلَمْ تُخْبَرُوا مِنَ ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ؟ أَلَمْ تَفْهَمُوا مِنْ أَسَاسَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ ٢١ 21
Do you not know—do you not hear? Has it not been declared from the first to you? Have you not understood [From] the foundations of the earth?
ٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَى كُرَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسُكَّانُهَا كَٱلْجُنْدُبِ. ٱلَّذِي يَنْشُرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَسَرَادِقَ، وَيَبْسُطُهَا كَخَيْمَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. ٢٢ 22
He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out the heavens as a thin thing, And spreads them as a tent to dwell in.
ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ ٱلْعُظَمَاءَ لَا شَيْئًا، وَيُصَيِّرُ قُضَاةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَٱلْبَاطِلِ. ٢٣ 23
He who is making princes become nothing, Has made judges of earth formless;
لَمْ يُغْرَسُوا بَلْ لَمْ يُزْرَعُوا وَلَمْ يَتَأَصَّلْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ سَاقُهُمْ. فَنَفَخَ أَيْضًا عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَفُّوا، وَٱلْعَاصِفُ كَٱلْعَصْفِ يَحْمِلُهُمْ. ٢٤ 24
Indeed, they have not been planted, Indeed, they have not been sown, Indeed, their stock is not taking root in the earth, And He has also blown on them, and they wither, And a whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
«فَبِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي فَأُسَاوِيَهُ؟» يَقُولُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ. ٢٥ 25
And to whom do you liken Me, And [to whom] I equal? Says the Holy One.
ٱرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ عُيُونَكُمْ وَٱنْظُرُوا، مَنْ خَلَقَ هَذِهِ؟ مَنِ ٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُ بِعَدَدٍ جُنْدَهَا، يَدْعُو كُلَّهَا بِأَسْمَاءٍ؟ لِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَكَوْنِهِ شَدِيدَ ٱلْقُدْرَةِ لَا يُفْقَدُ أَحَدٌ. ٢٦ 26
Lift up your eyes on high, And see—who has created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls to all of them by name, By the abundance of His strength And mighty power, Not one is lacking.
لِمَاذَا تَقُولُ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «قَدِ ٱخْتَفَتْ طَرِيقِي عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفَاتَ حَقِّي إِلَهِي»؟ ٢٧ 27
Why say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way has been hid from YHWH, And from my God my judgment passes over?”
أَمَا عَرَفْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ إِلَهُ ٱلدَّهْرِ ٱلرَّبُّ خَالِقُ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَعْيَا. لَيْسَ عَنْ فَهْمِهِ فَحْصٌ. ٢٨ 28
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
يُعْطِي ٱلْمُعْيِيَ قُدْرَةً، وَلِعَدِيمِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ يُكَثِّرُ شِدَّةً. ٢٩ 29
He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increases might.
اَلْغِلْمَانُ يُعْيُونَ وَيَتْعَبُونَ، وَٱلْفِتْيَانُ يَتَعَثَّرُونَ تَعَثُّرًا. ٣٠ 30
Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
وَأَمَّا مُنْتَظِرُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَيُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّةً. يَرْفَعُونَ أَجْنِحَةً كَٱلنُّسُورِ. يَرْكُضُونَ وَلَا يَتْعَبُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلَا يُعْيُونَ. ٣١ 31
But those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
