«وَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ يَا يَعْقُوبُ عَبْدِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ. ١ 1
“And now, hear, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have fixed on—
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعُكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ، مُعِينُكَ: لَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَا يَشُورُونُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ. ٢ 2
Thus said YHWH, your Maker, and your Former, From the womb He helps you: Do not fear, My servant Jacob, And Yeshurun, whom I have fixed on.
لِأَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مَاءً عَلَى ٱلْعَطْشَانِ، وَسُيُولًا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ. أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى نَسْلِكَ وَبَرَكَتِي عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِكَ. ٣ 3
For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on your seed, And My blessing on your offspring.
فَيَنْبُتُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعُشْبِ مِثْلَ ٱلصَّفْصَافِ عَلَى مَجَارِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ. ٤ 4
And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by conduits of water.
هَذَا يَقُولُ: أَنَا لِلرَّبِّ، وَهَذَا يُكَنِّي بِٱسْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَذَا يَكْتُبُ بِيَدِهِ: لِلرَّبِّ، وَبِٱسْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُلَقِّبُ». ٥ 5
This [one] says, For I [am] YHWH’s, And this calls [himself] by the name of Jacob, And this [one] writes [with] his hand, For YHWH, And surnames himself by the name of Israel.”
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَادِيهِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «أَنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا ٱلْآخِرُ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي. ٦ 6
Thus said YHWH, King of Israel, And his Redeemer, YHWH of Hosts: “I [am] the first, and I [am] the last, And besides Me there is no God.
وَمَنْ مِثْلِي؟ يُنَادِي، فَلْيُخْبِرْ بِهِ وَيَعْرِضْهُ لِي مُنْذُ وَضَعْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْقَدِيمَ. وَٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَاتُ وَمَا سَيَأْتِي لِيُخْبِرُوهُمْ بِهَا. ٧ 7
And who [is] as I, call and declare it, And arrange it for Me, Since My placing the people of antiquity, And things that are coming, And those that come, they declare to them.
لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا. أَمَا أَعْلَمْتُكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ وَأَخْبَرْتُكَ؟ فَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي. هَلْ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ غَيْرِي؟ وَلَا صَخْرَةَ لَا أَعْلَمُ بِهَا؟» ٨ 8
Do not fear, nor be afraid, Have I not caused you to hear from that time, and declared? And you [are] My witnesses, Is there a God besides Me? Indeed, there is none, I have not known another Rock.”
ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَوِّرُونَ صَنَمًا كُلُّهُمْ بَاطِلٌ، وَمُشْتَهَيَاتُهُمْ لَا تَنْفَعُ، وَشُهُودُهُمْ هِيَ. لَا تُبْصِرُ وَلَا تَعْرِفُ حَتَّى تَخْزَى. ٩ 9
Framers of a carved image, all of them [are] emptiness, And their desirable things do not profit, And they [are] their own witnesses, They do not see, nor know, that they may be ashamed.
مَنْ صَوَّرَ إِلَهًا وَسَبَكَ صَنَمًا لِغَيْرِ نَفْعٍ؟ ١٠ 10
Who has formed a god, And poured out a molten image—not profitable?
هَا كُلُّ أَصْحَابِهِ يَخْزَوْنَ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. يَجْتَمِعُونَ كُلُّهُمْ، يَقِفُونَ يَرْتَعِبُونَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مَعًا. ١١ 11
Behold, all his companions are ashamed, As for artisans—they [are] of men, All of them gather together, they stand up, They fear, they are ashamed together.
طَبَعَ ٱلْحَدِيدَ قَدُومًا، وَعَمِلَ فِي ٱلْفَحْمِ، وَبِالْمَطَارِقِ يُصَوِّرُهُ فَيَصْنَعُهُ بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِهِ. يَجُوعُ أَيْضًا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ. لَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً وَقَدْ تَعِبَ. ١٢ 12
He has worked iron [with] an axe, And has worked with coals, And forms it with hammers, And works it by his powerful arm, Indeed, he is hungry, and there is no power, He does not drink water, and he is wearied.
نَجَّرَ خَشَبًا. مَدَّ ٱلْخَيْطَ. بِٱلْمِخْرَزِ يُعَلِّمُهُ، يَصْنَعُهُ بِٱلْأَزَامِيلِ، وَبِالدَّوَّارَةِ يَرْسُمُهُ. فَيَصْنَعُهُ كَشَبَهِ رَجُلٍ، كَجَمَالِ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ! ١٣ 13
He has worked [with] wood, He has stretched out a rule, He marks it out with a line, He makes it with carving tools, And he marks it out with a compass, And makes it according to the form of a man, According to the beauty of a man, To remain in the house.
قَطَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَرْزًا وَأَخَذَ سِنْدِيَانًا وَبَلُّوطًا، وَٱخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْوَعْرِ. غَرَسَ سَنُوبَرًا وَٱلْمَطَرُ يُنْمِيهِ. ١٤ 14
Cutting down cedars for himself, He also takes a cypress, and an oak, And he strengthens [it] for himself Among the trees of a forest, He has planted an ash, and the shower nourishes [it].
فَيَصِيرُ لِلنَّاسِ لِلْإِيقَادِ. وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ وَيَتَدَفَّأُ. يُشْعِلُ أَيْضًا وَيَخْبِزُ خُبْزًا، ثُمَّ يَصْنَعُ إِلَهًا فَيَسْجُدُ! قَدْ صَنَعَهُ صَنَمًا وَخَرَّ لَهُ. ١٥ 15
And it has been for man to burn, And he takes of them, and becomes warm, Indeed, he kindles [it], and has baked bread, Indeed, he makes a god, and bows himself, He has made it a carved image, And he falls down to it.
نِصْفُهُ أَحْرَقَهُ بِٱلنَّارِ. عَلَى نِصْفِهِ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا. يَشْوِي مَشْوِيًّا وَيَشْبَعُ! يَتَدَفَّأُ أَيْضًا وَيَقُولُ: «بَخْ! قَدْ تَدَفَّأْتُ. رَأَيْتُ نَارًا». ١٦ 16
Half of it he has burned in the fire, By [this] half of it he eats flesh, He roasts a roasting and is satisfied, Indeed, he is warm and says: “Aha, I have become warm, I have enjoyed the light.”
وَبَقِيَّتُهُ قَدْ صَنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، صَنَمًا لِنَفْسِهِ! يَخُرُّ لَهُ وَيَسْجُدُ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «نَجِّنِي لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي». ١٧ 17
And he has made its remnant for a god—For his carved image, He falls down to it, and worships, And prays to it, and he says, “Deliver me, for you [are] my god.”
لَا يَعْرِفُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَمَسَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْإِبْصَارِ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ. ١٨ 18
They have not known, nor do they understand, For He has coated their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.
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 none turn [it] back to his heart, Nor has knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire, Indeed, I have also baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And I make its remnant for an abomination, I fall down to the stock of a tree.”
يَرْعَى رَمَادًا. قَلْبٌ مَخْدُوعٌ قَدْ أَضَلَّهُ فَلَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ وَلَا يَقُولُ: «أَلَيْسَ كَذِبٌ فِي يَمِينِي؟». ٢٠ 20
Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It has turned him aside, And he does not deliver his soul, nor says: “Is there not 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, O Jacob, and Israel, For you [are] My servant, I formed you, you [are] a servant to Me, O Israel, you do not forget Me.
قَدْ مَحَوْتُ كَغَيْمٍ ذُنُوبَكَ وَكَسَحَابَةٍ خَطَايَاكَ. اِرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ لِأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ». ٢٢ 22
I have blotted out, as [by] a thick cloud, Your transgressions, And as [by] a cloud, your sins, Return to Me, for I have redeemed 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
Sing, O heavens, for YHWH has worked, Shout, O lower parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest, and every tree in it, For YHWH has redeemed Jacob, And He beautifies Himself in Israel.
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ صَانِعٌ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، نَاشِرٌ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدِي، بَاسِطٌ ٱلْأَرْضَ. مَنْ مَعِي؟ ٢٤ 24
Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, And your Framer from the womb: “I [am] YHWH, doing all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, Spreading out the earth—who [is] with Me?
مُبَطِّلٌ آيَاتِ ٱلْمُخَادِعِينَ وَمُحَمِّقٌ ٱلْعَرَّافِينَ. مُرَجِّعٌ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَمُجَهِّلٌ مَعْرِفَتَهُمْ. ٢٥ 25
Making void the tokens of devisers, And makes diviners mad, Turning the wise backward, And makes their knowledge foolish.
مُقِيمٌ كَلِمَةَ عَبْدِهِ، وَمُتَمِّمٌ رَأْيَ رُسُلِهِ. ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُعْمَرُ، وَلِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: سَتُبْنَيْنَ، وَخِرَبَهَا أُقِيمُ. ٢٦ 26
Confirming the word of His servant, He perfects the counsel of His messengers, Who is saying of Jerusalem, She is inhabited, And of cities of Judah, They will be built, and her ruins I raise up,
ٱلْقَائِلُ لِلُّجَّةِ: ٱنْشَفِي، وَأَنْهَارَكِ أُجَفِّفُ. ٢٧ 27
Who is saying to the deep, Be dry, and your rivers I cause to dry up,
ٱلْقَائِلُ عَنْ كُورَشَ: رَاعِيَّ، فَكُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي يُتَمِّمُ. وَيَقُولُ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَتُبْنَى، وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ: سَتُؤَسَّسُ». ٢٨ 28
Who is saying of Cyrus, My shepherd, And he perfects all My delight, So as to say of Jerusalem, You are built, And of the temple, You are founded.”
