إِشَعْيَاءَ 46

١ 1 قَدْ جَثَا بِيلُ، ٱنْحَنَى نَبُو. صَارَتْ تَمَاثِيلُهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. مَحْمُولَاتُكُمْ مُحَمَّلَةٌ حِمْلًا لِلْمُعْيِي.

Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: ye take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;

٢ 2 قَدِ ٱنْحَنَتْ. جَثَتْ مَعًا. لَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَ ٱلْحِمْلَ، وَهِيَ نَفْسُهَا قَدْ مَضَتْ فِي ٱلسَّبْيِ.

who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.

٣ 3 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ وَكُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْمُحَمَّلِينَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، ٱلْمَحْمُولِينَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ.

Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:

٤ 4 وَإِلَى ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَإِلَى ٱلشَّيْبَةِ أَنَا أَحْمِلُ. قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، وَأَنَا أَرْفَعُ، وَأَنَا أَحْمِلُ وَأُنَجِّي.

I am [he]; and until ye shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.

٥ 5 بِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي وَتُسَوُّونَنِي وَتُمَثِّلُونَنِي لِنَتَشَابَهَ؟.

To whom have ye compared me? see, consider, ye that go astray.

٦ 6 «اَلَّذِينَ يُفْرِغُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنَ ٱلْكِيسِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ بِٱلْمِيزَانِ يَزِنُونَ. يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ صَائِغًا لِيَصْنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، يَخُرُّونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ!

They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.

٧ 7 يَرْفَعُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ. يَحْمِلُونَهُ وَيَضَعُونَهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ لِيَقِفَ. مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ لَا يَبْرَحُ. يَزْعَقُ أَحَدٌ إِلَيْهِ فَلَا يُجِيبُ. مِنْ شِدَّتِهِ لَا يُخَلِّصُهُ.

They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it cannot move: and whosoever shall cry to it, it cannot hear; it cannot save him from trouble.

٨ 8 «اُذْكُرُوا هَذَا وَكُونُوا رِجَالًا. رَدِّدُوهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُصَاةُ.

Remember ye these things, and groan: repent, ye that have gone astray, return in your heart;

٩ 9 اُذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. ٱلْإِلَهُ وَلَيْسَ مِثْلِي.

and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside me,

١٠ 10 مُخْبِرٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْبَدْءِ بِٱلْأَخِيرِ، وَمُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ بِمَا لَمْ يُفْعَلْ، قَائِلًا: رَأْيِي يَقُومُ وَأَفْعَلُ كُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي.

telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:

١١ 11 دَاعٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ ٱلْكَاسِرَ، مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ رَجُلَ مَشُورَتِي. قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ فَأُجْرِيهِ. قَضَيْتُ فَأَفْعَلُهُ.

calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.

١٢ 12 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا أَشِدَّاءَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ عَنِ ٱلْبِرِّ.

Hearken to me, ye senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:

١٣ 13 قَدْ قَرَّبْتُ بِرِّي، لَا يَبْعُدُ. وَخَلَاصِي لَا يَتَأَخَّرُ. وَأَجْعَلُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ خَلَاصًا، لِإِسْرَائِيلَ جَلَالِي.

I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for glory.
