إِشَعْيَاءَ 44
| «وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ يَا يَعْقُوبُ عَبْدِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ. | ١ 1 |
But now hear, Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعُكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ، مُعِينُكَ: لَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَا يَشُورُونُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ. | ٢ 2 |
Thus says the Lord God that made you, and he that formed you from the womb; You shall yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.
| لِأَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مَاءً عَلَى ٱلْعَطْشَانِ، وَسُيُولًا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ. أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى نَسْلِكَ وَبَرَكَتِي عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِكَ. | ٣ 3 |
For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon your seed, and my blessings upon your children:
| فَيَنْبُتُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعُشْبِ مِثْلَ ٱلصَّفْصَافِ عَلَى مَجَارِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ. | ٤ 4 |
and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on [the banks of] running water.
| هَذَا يَقُولُ: أَنَا لِلرَّبِّ، وَهَذَا يُكَنِّي بِٱسْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَذَا يَكْتُبُ بِيَدِهِ: لِلرَّبِّ، وَبِٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُلَقِّبُ». | ٥ 5 |
One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَادِيهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي. | ٦ 6 |
Thus says God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.
| وَمَنْ مِثْلِي؟ يُنَادِي، فَلْيُخْبِرْ بِهِ وَيَعْرِضْهُ لِي مُنْذُ وَضَعْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْقَدِيمَ. وَٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَاتُ وَمَا سَيَأْتِي لِيُخْبِرُوهُمْ بِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.
| لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا. أَمَا أَعْلَمْتُكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ وَأَخْبَرْتُكَ؟ فَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي. هَلْ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ غَيْرِي؟ وَلَا صَخْرَةَ لَا أَعْلَمُ بِهَا؟» | ٨ 8 |
Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have you not heard from the beginning, and [have not] I told you? you are witnesses if there is a God beside me.
| ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَوِّرُونَ صَنَمًا كُلُّهُمْ بَاطِلٌ، وَمُشْتَهَيَاتُهُمْ لَا تَنْفَعُ، وَشُهُودُهُمْ هِيَ. لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلَا تَعْرِفُ حَتَّى تَخْزَى. | ٩ 9 |
But they that framed [false gods] did not then listen; and they that graved [images] are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed
| مَنْ صَوَّرَ إِلَهًا وَسَبَكَ صَنَمًا لِغَيْرِ نَفْعٍ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
that form a god, and all that grave worthless things:
| هَا كُلُّ أَصْحَابِهِ يَخْزَوْنَ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. يَجْتَمِعُونَ كُلُّهُمْ، يَقِفُونَ يَرْتَعِبُونَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مَعًا. | ١١ 11 |
and all by whom they were made are withered: yes, let all the deaf be gathered from [among] men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together:
| طَبَعَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ قَدُومًا، وَعَمِلَ فِي ٱلْفَحْمِ، وَبِالْمَطَارِقِ يُصَوِّرُهُ فَيَصْنَعُهُ بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِهِ. يَجُوعُ أَيْضًا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ. لَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَقَدْ تَعِبَ. | ١٢ 12 |
For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions [the idol] with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water.
| نَجَّرَ خَشَبًا. مَدَّ ٱلْخَيْطَ. بِٱلْمِخْرَزِ يُعَلِّمُهُ، يَصْنَعُهُ بِٱلْأَزَامِيلِ، وَبِالدَّوَّارَةِ يَرْسُمُهُ. فَيَصْنَعُهُ كَشَبَهِ رَجُلٍ، كَجَمَالِ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ! | ١٣ 13 |
The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house.
| قَطَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَرْزًا وَأَخَذَ سِنْدِيَانًا وَبَلُّوطًا، وَٱخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْوَعْرِ. غَرَسَ سَنُوبَرًا وَٱلْمَطَرُ يُنْمِيهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, [even] a pine tree, and the rain made it grow,
| فَيَصِيرُ لِلنَّاسِ لِلْإِيقَادِ. وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ وَيَتَدَفَّأُ. يُشْعِلُ أَيْضًا وَيَخْبِزُ خُبْزًا، ثُمَّ يَصْنَعُ إِلَهًا فَيَسْجُدُ! قَدْ صَنَعَهُ صَنَمًا وَخَرَّ لَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yes, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and [of] the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them.
| نِصْفُهُ أَحْرَقَهُ بِٱلنَّارِ. عَلَى نِصْفِهِ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا. يَشْوِي مَشْوِيًّا وَيَشْبَعُ! يَتَدَفَّأُ أَيْضًا وَيَقُولُ: «بَخْ! قَدْ تَدَفَّأْتُ. رَأَيْتُ نَارًا». | ١٦ 16 |
Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire.
| وَبَقِيَّتُهُ قَدْ صَنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، صَنَمًا لِنَفْسِهِ! يَخُرُّ لَهُ وَيَسْجُدُ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «نَجِّنِي لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي». | ١٧ 17 |
And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for you are my God.
| لَا يَعْرِفُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَمَسَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْإِبْصَارِ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ. | ١٨ 18 |
They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart.
| وَلَا يُرَدِّدُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَعْرِفَةٌ وَلَا فَهْمٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ: «نِصْفَهُ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَخَبَزْتُ أَيْضًا عَلَى جَمْرِهِ خُبْزًا، شَوَيْتُ لَحْمًا وَأَكَلْتُ. أَفَأَصْنَعُ بَقِيَّتَهُ رِجْسًا، وَلِسَاقِ شَجَرَةٍ أَخُرُّ؟» | ١٩ 19 |
And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it.
| يَرْعَى رَمَادًا. قَلْبٌ مَخْدُوعٌ قَدْ أَضَلَّهُ فَلَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ وَلَا يَقُولُ: «أَلَيْسَ كَذِبٌ فِي يَمِينِي؟». | ٢٠ 20 |
Know you that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, you will not say, [There is a] lie in my right hand.
| «اُذْكُرْ هَذِهِ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي. قَدْ جَبَلْتُكَ. عَبْدٌ لِي أَنْتَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لَا تُنْسَيِ مِنِّي. | ٢١ 21 |
Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant; I have formed you [to be] my servant: and do you, Israel, not forget me.
| قَدْ مَحَوْتُ كَغَيْمٍ ذُنُوبَكَ وَكَسَحَابَةٍ خَطَايَاكَ. اِرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud your transgressions, and your sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem you.
| تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَعَلَ. اِهْتِفِي يَا أَسَافِلَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَشِيدِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ تَرَنُّمًا، ٱلْوَعْرُ وَكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ فَدَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمَجَّدَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Rejoice, you heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, you foundations of the earth: you mountains, shout [with] joy, you hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعٌ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، نَاشِرٌ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدِي، بَاسِطٌ ٱلْأَرْضَ. مَنْ مَعِي؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Thus says the Lord that redeems you, and who formed you from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.
| مُبَطِّلٌ آيَاتِ ٱلْمُخَادِعِينَ وَمُحَمِّقٌ ٱلْعَرَّافِينَ. مُرَجِّعٌ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَمُجَهِّلٌ مَعْرِفَتَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Who else will frustrate the tokens of those that have divining spirits, and prophecies from the heart of [man]? turning the wise back, and making their counsel foolishness;
| مُقِيمٌ كَلِمَةَ عَبْدِهِ، وَمُتَمِّمٌ رَأْيَ رُسُلِهِ. ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُعْمَرُ، وَلِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: سَتُبْنَيْنَ، وَخِرَبَهَا أُقِيمُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
and confirming the word of his servant, and verifying the counsel of his messengers: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Idumea, You shall be built, and her desert places shall spring forth.
| ٱلْقَائِلُ لِلُّجَّةِ: ٱنْشَفِي، وَأَنْهَارَكِ أُجَفِّفُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Who says to the deep, You shall be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.
| ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ كُورَشَ: رَاعِيَّ، فَكُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي يُتَمِّمُ. وَيَقُولُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُبْنَى، وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ: سَتُؤَسَّسُ». | ٢٨ 28 |
Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.
