إِشَعْيَاءَ 42
| «هُوَذَا عَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي ٱلَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلْأُمَمِ. | ١ 1 |
“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights— I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring mishpat ·justice· to the nations.
| لَا يَصِيحُ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ وَلَا يُسْمِعُ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ صَوْتَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be sh'ma ·heard· in the street.
| قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لَا يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً خَامِدَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِلَى ٱلْأَمَانِ يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ. | ٣ 3 |
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring mishpat ·justice·.
| لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَنْكَسِرُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ». | ٤ 4 |
He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set mishpat ·justice· in the earth, and the islands will wait for his torot ·teachings·.”
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱللهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَاشِرُهَا، بَاسِطُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَتَائِجِهَا، مُعْطِي ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَيْهَا نَسَمَةً، وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا رُوحًا: | ٥ 5 |
Thus says God Adonai, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
| «أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱلْبِرِّ، فَأُمْسِكُ بِيَدِكَ وَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ، | ٦ 6 |
“I, Adonai, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· for the people, as a light for the nations;
| لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ ٱلْعُمْيِ، لِتُخْرِجَ مِنَ ٱلْحَبْسِ ٱلْمَأْسُورِينَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
| «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱسْمِي، وَمَجْدِي لَا أُعْطِيهِ لِآخَرَ، وَلَا تَسْبِيحِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ. | ٨ 8 |
“I am Adonai. That is my name. I will not give my kavod ·weighty glory· to another, nor my tehilah ·praise song· to engraved images.
| هُوَذَا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتُ قَدْ أَتَتْ، وَٱلْحَدِيثَاتُ أَنَا مُخْبِرٌ بِهَا. قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْبُتَ أُعْلِمُكُمْ بِهَا». | ٩ 9 |
Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I sh'ma ·hear obey, declare· to you about them before they come up.”
| غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَهُ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُنْحَدِرُونَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ وَمِلْؤُهُ وَٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَسُكَّانُهَا، | ١٠ 10 |
Sing to Adonai a new song, and his tehilah ·praise song· from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
| لِتَرْفَعِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَمُدُنُهَا صَوْتَهَا، ٱلدِّيَارُ ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَهَا قِيدَارُ. لِتَتَرَنَّمْ سُكَّانُ سَالِعَ. مِنْ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ لِيَهْتِفُوا. | ١١ 11 |
Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
| لِيُعْطُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَجْدًا وَيُخْبِرُوا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Let them give kavod ·weighty glory· to Adonai, and declare his tehilah ·praise song· in the islands.
| ٱلرَّبُّ كَٱلْجَبَّارِ يَخْرُجُ. كَرَجُلِ حُرُوبٍ يُنْهِضُ غَيْرَتَهُ. يَهْتِفُ وَيَصْرُخُ وَيَقْوَى عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Adonai will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
| «قَدْ صَمَتُّ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ. سَكَتُّ. تَجَلَّدْتُ. كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ أَصِيحُ. أَنْفُخُ وَأَنَخُرُ مَعًا. | ١٤ 14 |
“I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
| أَخْرِبُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَٱلْآكَامَ وَأُجَفِّفُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ يَبَسًا وَأُنَشِّفُ ٱلْآجَامَ، | ١٥ 15 |
I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
| وَأُسَيِّرُ ٱلْعُمْيَ فِي طَرِيقٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا. فِي مَسَالِكَ لَمْ يَدْرُوهَا أُمَشِّيهِمْ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ أَمَامَهُمْ نُورًا، وَٱلْمُعْوَجَّاتِ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ أَفْعَلُهَا وَلَاأَتْرُكُهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
| قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. يَخْزَى خِزْيًا ٱلْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ لِلْمَسْبُوكَاتِ: أَنْتُنَّ آلِهَتُنَا! | ١٧ 17 |
“Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our deities’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
| «أَيُّهَا ٱلصُّمُّ ٱسْمَعُوا. أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُمْيُ ٱنْظُرُوا لِتُبْصِرُوا. | ١٨ 18 |
“Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
| مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى إِلَّا عَبْدِي، وَأَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى كَٱلْكَامِلِ، وَأَعْمَى كَعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as Adonai’s servant?
| نَاظِرٌ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تُلَاحِظُ. مَفْتُوحُ ٱلْأُذُنَيْنِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ». | ٢٠ 20 |
You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he does not sh'ma ·hear obey·.
| ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ سُرَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ. يُعَظِّمُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ وَيُكْرِمُهَا. | ٢١ 21 |
It pleased Adonai, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the Torah ·Teaching·, and make it honorable.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدِ ٱصْطِيدَ فِي ٱلْحُفَرِ كُلُّهُ، وَفِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْحُبُوسِ ٱخْتَبَأُوا. صَارُوا نَهْبًا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ، وَسَلَبًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّ!». | ٢٢ 22 |
But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers; and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
| مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا؟ يَصْغَى وَيَسْمَعُ لِمَا بَعْدُ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and sh'ma ·hear obey· for the time to come?
| مَنْ دَفَعَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱلسَّلَبِ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِشَرِيعَتِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Who gave Jacob [Supplanter] as plunder, and Israel [God prevails] to the robbers? Didn’t Adonai, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they did not sh'ma ·hear obey· his Torah ·Teaching·.
| فَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ وَشِدَّةَ ٱلْحَرْبِ، فَأَوْقَدَتْهُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُ وَلَمْ يَضَعْ فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know; and it burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”
