إِشَعْيَاءَ 43

١ 1 وَٱلْآنَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَجَابِلُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لَا تَخَفْ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ. دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ. أَنْتَ لِي.

And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] Mine.

٢ 2 إِذَا ٱجْتَزْتَ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ فَأَنَا مَعَكَ، وَفِي ٱلْأَنْهَارِ فَلَا تَغْمُرُكَ. إِذَا مَشَيْتَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَلَا تُلْذَعُ، وَٱللَّهِيبُ لَا يُحْرِقُكَ.

When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.

٣ 3 لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُخَلِّصُكَ. جَعَلْتُ مِصْرَ فِدْيَتَكَ، كُوشَ وَسَبَا عِوَضَكَ.

For I—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.

٤ 4 إِذْ صِرْتَ عَزِيزًا فِي عَيْنَيَّ مُكَرَّمًا، وَأَنَا قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكَ. أُعْطِي أُنَاسًا عِوَضَكَ وَشُعُوبًا عِوَضَ نَفْسِكَ.

Since you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.

٥ 5 لَا تَخَفْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكَ. مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ آتِي بِنَسْلِكَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ أَجْمَعُكَ.

Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you from the west.

٦ 6 أَقُولُ لِلشَّمَالِ: أَعْطِ، وَلِلْجَنُوبِ: لَا تَمْنَعْ. اِيتِ بِبَنِيَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَبِبَنَاتِي مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

I am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

٧ 7 بِكُلِّ مَنْ دُعِيَ بِٱسْمِي وَلِمَجْدِي خَلَقْتُهُ وَجَبَلْتُهُ وَصَنَعْتُهُ.

Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.

٨ 8 أَخْرِجِ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْأَعْمَى وَلَهُ عُيُونٌ، وَٱلْأَصَمَّ وَلَهُ آذَانٌ.

He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

٩ 9 «اِجْتَمِعُوا يَا كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ مَعًا وَلْتَلْتَئِمِ ٱلْقَبَائِلُ. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ يُخْبِرُ بِهَذَا وَيُعْلِمُنَا بِٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ؟ لِيُقَدِّمُوا شُهُودَهُمْ وَيَتَبَرَّرُوا. أَوْ لِيَسْمَعُوا فَيَقُولُوا: صِدْقٌ.

All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “Truth.”

١٠ 10 أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَعَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَتَفْهَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ. قَبْلِي لَمْ يُصَوَّرْ إِلَهٌ وَبَعْدِي لَا يَكُونُ.

You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

١١ 11 أَنَا أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي مُخَلِّصٌ.

I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.

١٢ 12 أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأَعْلَمْتُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ. وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا ٱللهُ.

I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] God.

١٣ 13 أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي. أَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ يَرُدُّ؟».

Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?

١٤ 14 هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَأَلْقَيْتُ ٱلْمَغَالِيقَ كُلَّهَا وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فِي سُفُنِ تَرَنُّمِهِمْ.

Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.

١٥ 15 أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُكُمْ، خَالِقُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلِكُكُمْ.

I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”

١٦ 16 هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْجَاعِلُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا وَفِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ مَسْلَكًا.

Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.

١٧ 17 ٱلْمُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ، ٱلْجَيْشَ وَٱلْعِزَّ. يَضْطَجِعُونَ مَعًا لَا يَقُومُونَ. قَدْ خَمِدُوا. كَفَتِيلَةٍ ٱنْطَفَأُوا.

Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”

١٨ 18 «لَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ، وَٱلْقَدِيمَاتُ لَا تَتَأَمَّلُوا بِهَا.

Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.

١٩ 19 هَأَنَذَا صَانِعٌ أَمْرًا جَدِيدًا. ٱلْآنَ يَنْبُتُ. أَلَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ أَجْعَلُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقًا، فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَنْهَارًا.

Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.

٢٠ 20 يُمَجِّدُنِي حَيَوَانُ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ، ٱلذِّئَابُ وَبَنَاتُ ٱلنَّعَامِ، لِأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مَاءً، أَنْهَارًا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ، لِأَسْقِيَ شَعْبِي مُخْتَارِي.

The beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.

٢١ 21 هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي. يُحَدِّثُ بِتَسْبِيحِي.

I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.

٢٢ 22 «وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَدْعُنِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَتَّى تَتْعَبَ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ.

And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,

٢٣ 23 لَمْ تُحْضِرْ لِي شَاةَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ، وَبِذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُكْرِمْنِي. لَمْ أَسْتَخْدِمْكَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَلَا أَتْعَبْتُكَ بِلُبَانٍ.

You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.

٢٤ 24 لَمْ تَشْتَرِ لِي بِفِضَّةٍ قَصَبًا، وَبِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُرْوِنِي. لَكِنِ ٱسْتَخْدَمْتَنِي بِخَطَايَاكَ وَأَتْعَبْتَنِي بِآثَامِكَ.

You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.

٢٥ 25 أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْمَاحِي ذُنُوبَكَ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَخَطَايَاكَ لَا أَذْكُرُهَا».

I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.

٢٦ 26 «ذَكِّرْنِي فَنَتَحَاكَمَ مَعًا. حَدِّثْ لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ.

Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.

٢٧ 27 أَبُوكَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ أَخْطَأَ، وَوُسَطَاؤُكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.

Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,

٢٨ 28 فَدَنَّسْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَدَفَعْتُ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱللَّعْنِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلشَّتَائِمِ.

And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
