«اُنْصُتِي إِلَيَّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَلْتُجَدِّدِ ٱلْقَبَائِلُ قُوَّةً. لِيَقْتَرِبُوا ثُمَّ يَتَكَلَّمُوا. لِنَتَقَدَّمْ مَعًا إِلَى ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ. ١ 1
Be silent [and hearken] unto me, O ye Coastlands, And let the Races of Men renew their strength, —Let them approach, then, let them speak, Together, for controversy, let us draw near: —
مَنْ أَنْهَضَ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ ٱلَّذِي يُلَاقِيهِ ٱلنَّصْرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ؟ دَفَعَ أَمَامَهُ أُمَمًا وَعَلَى مُلُوكٍ سَلَّطَهُ. جَعَلَهُمْ كَٱلتُّرَابِ بِسَيْفِهِ، وَكَالْقَشِّ ٱلْمُنْذَرِي بِقَوْسِهِ. ٢ 2
Who roused up one from the East, In righteousness, called him to his feet, —Set before him nations And over kings, caused him to rule, His sword, made [them] like dust, His bow like driven chaff:
طَرَدَهُمْ. مَرَّ سَالِمًا فِي طَرِيقٍ لَمْ يَسْلُكْهُ بِرِجْلَيْهِ. ٣ 3
He pursued them passed along safely, —Upon the path of his own feet, entered he not?
مَنْ فَعَلَ وَصَنَعَ دَاعِيًا ٱلْأَجْيَالَ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ؟ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْأَوَّلُ، وَمَعَ ٱلْآخِرِينَ أَنَا هُوَ». ٤ 4
Who hath wrought and performed, Calling the generations, in advance? I, Yahweh, [who am] First, And with them who are last, I, am the Same!
نَظَرَتِ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ فَخَافَتْ. أَطْرَافُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱرْتَعَدَتِ. ٱقْتَرَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ. ٥ 5
Coastlands have seen, so they fear, The ends of the earth, are in dread, —They have drawn near, and have come:
كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يُسَاعِدُ صَاحِبَهُ وَيَقُولُ لِأَخِيهِ: «تَشَدَّدْ». ٦ 6
Every man, to his neighbour, giveth help, —And to his brother, saith Take courage!
فَشَدَّدَ ٱلنَّجَّارُ ٱلصَّائِغَ. ٱلصَّاقِلُ بِٱلْمِطْرَقَةِ ٱلضَّارِبَ عَلَى ٱلسَّنْدَانِ، قَائِلًا عَنِ ٱلْإِلْحَامِ: «هُوَ جَيِّدٌ». فَمَكَّنَهُ بِمَسَامِيرَ حَتَّى لَا يَتَقَلْقَلَ. ٧ 7
So, the carver, hath encouraged, the goldsmith, he that maketh smooth with the hammer, him that smiteth the anvil, —Saying of the welding, It is, good, Then hath he fastened it with nails—it must not totter!
«وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَبْدِي، يَا يَعْقُوبُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ، نَسْلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِي، ٨ 8
But, thou, Israel, my Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, —The seed of Abraham my loving one;
ٱلَّذِي أَمْسَكْتُهُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ أَقْطَارِهَا دَعَوْتُهُ، وَقُلْتُ لَكَ: أَنْتَ عَبْدِيَ. ٱخْتَرْتُكَ وَلَمْ أَرْفُضْكَ. ٩ 9
Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, And from the extremities thereof, have called thee, —And said to thee, My Servant, thou! I have chosen thee and not cast thee off,
لَا تَخَفْ لِأَنِّي مَعَكَ. لَا تَتَلَفَّتْ لِأَنِّي إِلَهُكَ. قَدْ أَيَّدْتُكَ وَأَعَنْتُكَ وَعَضَدْتُكَ بِيَمِينِ بِرِّي. ١٠ 10
Do not fear, for with thee, I am! Look not around, for, I, am thy God, —I have emboldened thee, Yea I have helped thee, Yea I have upheld thee with my righteous right-hand.
إِنَّهُ سَيَخْزَى وَيَخْجَلُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُغْتَاظِينَ عَلَيْكَ. يَكُونُ كَلَا شَيْءٍ مُخَاصِمُوكَ وَيَبِيدُونَ. ١١ 11
Lo! they shall turn pale and be ashamed—All they who have been incensed against thee, —They shall become as nothing and perish—The men who have been thine accusers:
تُفَتِّشُ عَلَى مُنَازِعِيكَ وَلَا تَجِدُهُمْ. يَكُونُ مُحَارِبُوكَ كَلَا شَيْءٍ وَكَالْعَدَمِ. ١٢ 12
Thou shalt seek them, but shalt not find them—The men who have contended with thee, They shall become as nothing, and as a thing of nought—The men who have warred against thee;
لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلْمُمْسِكُ بِيَمِينِكَ، ٱلْقَائِلُ لَكَ: لَا تَخَفْ. أَنَا أُعِينُكَ. ١٣ 13
For I, Yahweh thy God am firmly grasping thy right-hand, —Who am saying unto thee Do not fear! I, have become thy helper!
«لَا تَخَفْ يَا دُودَةَ يَعْقُوبَ، يَا شِرْذِمَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنَا أُعِينُكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَفَادِيكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٤ 14
Do not fear, Thou worm Jacob, Ye men of Israel, —I, have become thy helper, Declareth Yahweh, And thy redeemer The Holy One of Israel.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ نَوْرَجًا مُحَدَّدًا جَدِيدًا ذَا أَسْنَانٍ. تَدْرُسُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَتَسْحَقُهَا، وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلْآكَامَ كَٱلْعُصَافَةِ. ١٥ 15
Lo! I have made of thee a new pointed threshing sledge, owning teeth, —Thou shalt thresh mountains and crush them, And, hills—like chaff, shalt thou make:
تُذَرِّيهَا فَٱلرِّيحُ تَحْمِلُهَا وَٱلْعَاصِفُ تُبَدِّدُهَا، وَأَنْتَ تَبْتَهِجُ بِٱلرَّبِّ. بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَفْتَخِرُ. ١٦ 16
Thou shalt fan them and, a wind, shall carry them away, And, a whirlwind, scatter, them, —But, thou, shalt exult in Yahweh, And, in the Holy One of Israel, shalt thou boast thyself.
«اَلْبَائِسُونَ وَٱلْمَسَاكِينُ طَالِبُونَ مَاءً وَلَا يُوجَدُ. لِسَانُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَطَشِ قَدْ يَبِسَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. أَنَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا أَتْرُكُهُمْ. ١٧ 17
As for the oppressed and the needy. Seeking water when there is none, Their tongue with thirst being parched I—Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:
أَفْتَحُ عَلَى ٱلْهِضَابِ أَنْهَارًا، وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبِقَاعِ يَنَابِيعَ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ أَجَمَةَ مَاءٍ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْيَابِسَةَ مَفَاجِرَ مِيَاهٍ. ١٨ 18
I will open, On bare hills rivers, and In the midst of plains, fountains, —I will make The desert, a lake of water, and Parched land, springs of water;
أَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْأَرْزَ وَٱلسَّنْطَ وَٱلْآسَ وَشَجَرَةَ ٱلزَّيْتِ. أَضَعُ فِي ٱلْبَادِيَةِ ٱلسَّرْوَ وَٱلسِّنْدِيَانَ وَٱلشَّرْبِينَ مَعًا. ١٩ 19
I will set in the desert! Cedar, acacia, and myrtle, and oil-tree, —I will place, in the waste plain, Cypress, holm-oak, and sherbin-cedar, together
لِكَيْ يَنْظُرُوا وَيَعْرِفُوا وَيَتَنَبَّهُوا وَيَتَأَمَّلُوا مَعًا أَنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَعَلَتْ هَذَا وَقُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبْدَعَهُ. ٢٠ 20
That men may see and observe and consider and understand at once, That, the hand of Yahweh, hath done this, That the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
«قَدِّمُوا دَعْوَاكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أَحْضِرُوا حُجَجَكُمْ، يَقُولُ مَلِكُ يَعْقُوبَ. ٢١ 21
Bring near your contention, Saith Yahweh, —Advance your defences, Saith the King of Jacob:
لِيُقَدِّمُوهَا وَيُخْبِرُونَا بِمَا سَيَعْرِضُ. مَا هِيَ ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتُ؟ أَخْبِرُوا فَنَجْعَلَ عَلَيْهَا قُلُوبَنَا وَنَعْرِفَ آخِرَتَهَا، أَوْ أَعْلِمُونَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَاتِ. ٢٢ 22
Let them advance them, and tell us, What shall happen, —Things known in advance—what they were, tell ye, That we may lay them to our heart and mark the after-story of them, Or, things yet to come, let us hear:
أَخْبِرُوا بِٱلْآتِيَاتِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ فَنَعْرِفَ أَنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ، وَٱفْعَلُوا خَيْرًا أَوْ شَرًّا فَنَلْتَفِتَ وَنَنْظُرَ مَعًا. ٢٣ 23
Tell ye the events which shall be here-after, That we may perceive that gods, ye are, —Surely ye must do something—good or bad, That we may be amazed and behold it, at once.
هَا أَنْتُمْ مِنْ لَا شَيْءٍ، وَعَمَلُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَدَمِ. رِجْسٌ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُكُمْ. ٢٤ 24
Lo! ye, are, of nought, And your work is a puff of breath, —An abomination, he that chooseth you!
«قَدْ أَنْهَضْتُهُ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ فَأَتَى. مِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِي. يَأْتِي عَلَى ٱلْوُلَاةِ كَمَا عَلَى ٱلْمِلَاطِ، وَكَخَزَّافٍ يَدُوسُ ٱلطِّينَ. ٢٥ 25
I have roused up one from the North, and he hath come, From the rising of the sun, calleth he on my Name, —And he hath come, on deputies, as though they were mortar, And as a potter treadeth clay.
مَنْ أَخْبَرَ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ حَتَّى نَعْرِفَ، وَمِنْ قَبْلُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ: هُوَ صَادِقٌ؟ لَا مُخْبِرٌ وَلَا مُسْمِعٌ وَلَا سَامِعٌ أَقْوَالَكُمْ. ٢٦ 26
Who hath told in advance, that we might know, And beforetime, that we might say Right! Nay, there is none who can tell. Nay, there is none who can let us hear, Nay, there is none who can understand what ye utter.
أَنَا أَوَّلًا قُلْتُ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: هَا! هَا هُمْ. وَلِأُورُشَلِيمَ جَعَلْتُ مُبَشِّرًا. ٢٧ 27
He who is First, [can say], To Zion, Lo! there they are! And to Jerusalem, A herald of good-tidings, do I give.
وَنَظَرْتُ فَلَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَمِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ فَلَيْسَ مُشِيرٌ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَهُمْ فَيَرُدُّونَ كَلِمَةً. ٢٨ 28
So I look, And there is not, a Man! Even among these And there is none to advise, —That, when I ask them, can answer a word.
هَا كُلُّهُمْ بَاطِلٌ، وَأَعْمَالُهُمْ عَدَمٌ، وَمَسْبُوكَاتُهُمْ رِيحٌ وَخَلَاءٌ. ٢٩ 29
Lo! as to all of them, Vanity—nothingness, are their works, Wind and emptiness, their molten images!
