إِشَعْيَاءَ 42

١ 1 «هُوَذَا عَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي ٱلَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلْأُمَمِ.

Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles.

٢ 2 لَا يَصِيحُ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ وَلَا يُسْمِعُ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ صَوْتَهُ.

He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.

٣ 3 قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لَا يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً خَامِدَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِلَى ٱلْأَمَانِ يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgement to truth.

٤ 4 لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَنْكَسِرُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ».

He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgement on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

٥ 5 هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱللهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَاشِرُهَا، بَاسِطُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَتَائِجِهَا، مُعْطِي ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَيْهَا نَسَمَةً، وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا رُوحًا:

Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:

٦ 6 «أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱلْبِرِّ، فَأُمْسِكُ بِيَدِكَ وَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ،

I the Lord God have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you: and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:

٧ 7 لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ ٱلْعُمْيِ، لِتُخْرِجَ مِنَ ٱلْحَبْسِ ٱلْمَأْسُورِينَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.

٨ 8 «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱسْمِي، وَمَجْدِي لَا أُعْطِيهِ لِآخَرَ، وَلَا تَسْبِيحِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.

I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.

٩ 9 هُوَذَا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتُ قَدْ أَتَتْ، وَٱلْحَدِيثَاتُ أَنَا مُخْبِرٌ بِهَا. قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْبُتَ أُعْلِمُكُمْ بِهَا».

Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yes, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.

١٠ 10 غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَهُ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُنْحَدِرُونَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ وَمِلْؤُهُ وَٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَسُكَّانُهَا،

Sing a new hymn to the Lord: you [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.

١١ 11 لِتَرْفَعِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَمُدُنُهَا صَوْتَهَا، ٱلدِّيَارُ ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَهَا قِيدَارُ. لِتَتَرَنَّمْ سُكَّانُ سَالِعَ. مِنْ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ لِيَهْتِفُوا.

Rejoice, you wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.

١٢ 12 لِيُعْطُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَجْدًا وَيُخْبِرُوا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ.

They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.

١٣ 13 ٱلرَّبُّ كَٱلْجَبَّارِ يَخْرُجُ. كَرَجُلِ حُرُوبٍ يُنْهِضُ غَيْرَتَهُ. يَهْتِفُ وَيَصْرُخُ وَيَقْوَى عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.

١٤ 14 «قَدْ صَمَتُّ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ. سَكَتُّ. تَجَلَّدْتُ. كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ أَصِيحُ. أَنْفُخُ وَأَنَخُرُ مَعًا.

I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.

١٥ 15 أَخْرِبُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَٱلْآكَامَ وَأُجَفِّفُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ يَبَسًا وَأُنَشِّفُ ٱلْآجَامَ،

I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.

١٦ 16 وَأُسَيِّرُ ٱلْعُمْيَ فِي طَرِيقٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا. فِي مَسَالِكَ لَمْ يَدْرُوهَا أُمَشِّيهِمْ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ أَمَامَهُمْ نُورًا، وَٱلْمُعْوَجَّاتِ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ أَفْعَلُهَا وَلَاأَتْرُكُهُمْ.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

١٧ 17 قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. يَخْزَى خِزْيًا ٱلْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ لِلْمَسْبُوكَاتِ: أَنْتُنَّ آلِهَتُنَا!

But they are turned back: be you utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], You are our gods.

١٨ 18 «أَيُّهَا ٱلصُّمُّ ٱسْمَعُوا. أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُمْيُ ٱنْظُرُوا لِتُبْصِرُوا.

Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.

١٩ 19 مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى إِلَّا عَبْدِي، وَأَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى كَٱلْكَامِلِ، وَأَعْمَى كَعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟

And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yes, the servants of God have been made blind.

٢٠ 20 نَاظِرٌ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تُلَاحِظُ. مَفْتُوحُ ٱلْأُذُنَيْنِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ».

You have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and you have not heard.

٢١ 21 ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ سُرَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ. يُعَظِّمُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ وَيُكْرِمُهَا.

The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.

٢٢ 22 وَلَكِنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدِ ٱصْطِيدَ فِي ٱلْحُفَرِ كُلُّهُ، وَفِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْحُبُوسِ ٱخْتَبَأُوا. صَارُوا نَهْبًا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ، وَسَلَبًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّ!».

And I saw, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.

٢٣ 23 مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا؟ يَصْغَى وَيَسْمَعُ لِمَا بَعْدُ؟

Who [is there] amongst you that will give ear to these things? listen you to the things which are coming to pass.

٢٤ 24 مَنْ دَفَعَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱلسَّلَبِ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِشَرِيعَتِهِ.

For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor listen to his law.

٢٥ 25 فَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ وَشِدَّةَ ٱلْحَرْبِ، فَأَوْقَدَتْهُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُ وَلَمْ يَضَعْ فِي قَلْبِهِ.

So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
