< إِشَعْيَاءَ 49 >

اِسْمَعِي لِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ، وَٱصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ: ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ دَعَانِي. مِنْ أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّي ذَكَرَ ٱسْمِي، ١ 1
Listen to me, you islands; and attend, you Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, says the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:
وَجَعَلَ فَمِي كَسَيْفٍ حَادٍّ. فِي ظِلِّ يَدِهِ خَبَّأَنِي وَجَعَلَنِي سَهْمًا مَبْرِيًّا. فِي كِنَانَتِهِ أَخْفَانِي. ٢ 2
and he has made my mouth as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has hid me in his quiver;
وَقَالَ لِي: «أَنْتَ عَبْدِي إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ أَتَمَجَّدُ». ٣ 3
and said to me, You are my servant, O Israel, and in you I will be glorified.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَقُلْتُ: «عَبَثًا تَعِبْتُ. بَاطِلًا وَفَارِغًا أَفْنَيْتُ قُدْرَتِي. لَكِنَّ حَقِّي عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَمَلِي عِنْدَ إِلَهِي». ٤ 4
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgment with the Lord, and my labor before my God.
وَٱلْآنَ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَابِلِي مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ عَبْدًا لَهُ، لِإِرْجَاعِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَيْهِ، فَيَنْضَمُّ إِلَيْهِ إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَتَمَجَّدُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَإِلَهِي يَصِيرُ قُوَّتِي. ٥ 5
And now, thus says the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
فَقَالَ: «قَلِيلٌ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِي عَبْدًا لِإِقَامَةِ أَسْبَاطِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَرَدِّ مَحْفُوظِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ نُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ لِتَكُونَ خَلَاصِي إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٦ 6
And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for you to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، قُدُّوسُهُ، لِلْمُهَانِ ٱلنَّفْسِ، لِمَكْرُوهِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ، لِعَبْدِ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ: «يَنْظُرُ مُلُوكٌ فَيَقُومُونَ. رُؤَسَاءُ فَيَسْجُدُونَ. لِأَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَمِينٌ، وَقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي قَدِ ٱخْتَارَكَ». ٧ 7
Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen you.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي وَقْتِ ٱلْقُبُولِ ٱسْتَجَبْتُكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ أَعَنْتُكَ. فَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ، لِإِقَامَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِتَمْلِيكِ أَمْلَاكِ ٱلْبَرَارِيِّ، ٨ 8
Thus says the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I succored you: and I have formed you, and given you for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:
قَائِلًا لِلْأَسْرَى: ٱخْرُجُوا. لِلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ: ٱظْهَرُوا. عَلَى ٱلطُّرُقِ يَرْعَوْنَ وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلْهِضَابِ مَرْعَاهُمْ. ٩ 9
saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness show themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.
لَا يَجُوعُونَ وَلَا يَعْطَشُونَ، وَلَا يَضْرِبُهُمْ حَرٌّ وَلَا شَمْسٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَرْحَمُهُمْ يَهْدِيهِمْ وَإِلَى يَنَابِيعِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ يُورِدُهُمْ. ١٠ 10
They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.
وَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ جِبَالِي طَرِيقًا، وَمَنَاهِجِي تَرْتَفِعُ. ١١ 11
And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.
هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَأْتُونَ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ أَرْضِ سِينِيمَ». ١٢ 12
Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.
تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ، وَٱبْتَهِجِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ. لِتُشِدِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى شَعْبَهُ، وَعَلَى بَائِسِيهِ يَتَرَحَّمُ. ١٣ 13
Rejoice, you heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lard has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.
وَقَالَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ: «قَدْ تَرَكَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَسَيِّدِي نَسِيَنِي». ١٤ 14
But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.
«هَلْ تَنْسَى ٱلْمَرْأَةُ رَضِيعَهَا فَلَا تَرْحَمَ ٱبْنَ بَطْنِهَا؟ حَتَّى هَؤُلَاءِ يَنْسَيْنَ، وَأَنَا لَا أَنْسَاكِ. ١٥ 15
Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget you, says the Lord.
هُوَذَا عَلَى كَفَّيَّ نَقَشْتُكِ. أَسْوَارُكِ أَمَامِي دَائِمًا. ١٦ 16
Behold, I have painted your walls on my hands, and you are continually before me.
قَدْ أَسْرَعَ بَنُوكِ. هَادِمُوكِ وَمُخْرِبُوكِ مِنْكِ يَخْرُجُونَ. ١٧ 17
And you shall soon be built by those by whom you were destroyed, and they that made you desolate shall go forth of you.
اِرْفَعِي عَيْنَيْكِ حَوَالَيْكِ وَٱنْظُرِي. كُلُّهُمْ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا، أَتَوْا إِلَيْكِ. حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّكِ تَلْبَسِينَ كُلَّهُمْ كَحُلِيٍّ، وَتَتَنَطَّقِينَ بِهِمْ كَعَرُوسٍ. ١٨ 18
Lift up your eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to you. [As] I live, says the Lord, you shall clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire.
إِنَّ خِرَبَكِ وَبَرَارِيَّكِ وَأَرْضَ خَرَابِكِ، إِنَّكِ تَكُونِينَ ٱلْآنَ ضَيِّقَةً عَلَى ٱلسُّكَّانِ، وَيَتَبَاعَدُ مُبْتَلِعُوكِ. ١٩ 19
For your desert and marred and ruined [places] shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured you shall be removed far from you.
يَقُولُ أَيْضًا فِي أُذُنَيْكِ بَنُو ثُكْلِكِ: ضَيِّقٌ عَلَيَّ ٱلْمَكَانُ. وَسِّعِي لِي لِأَسْكُنَ. ٢٠ 20
For your sons whom you have lost shall say in your ears, The place [is too] narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.
فَتَقُولِينَ فِي قَلْبِكِ: مَنْ وَلَدَ لِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَأَنَا ثَكْلَى، وَعَاقِرٌ مَنْفِيَّةٌ وَمَطْرُودَةٌ؟ وَهَؤُلَاءِ مَنْ رَبَّاهُمْ؟ هَأَنَذَا كُنْتُ مَتْرُوكَةً وَحْدِي. هَؤُلَاءِ أَيْنَ كَانُوا؟». ٢١ 21
And you shall say in your heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I [was] childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me?
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَا إِنِّي أَرْفَعُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ يَدِي وَإِلَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ أُقِيمُ رَايَتِي، فَيَأْتُونَ بِأَوْلَادِكِ فِي ٱلْأَحْضَانِ، وَبَنَاتُكِ عَلَى ٱلْأَكْتَافِ يُحْمَلْنَ. ٢٢ 22
Thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring your sons in [their] bosom, and shall bear your daughters on [their] shoulders.
وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمُلُوكُ حَاضِنِيكِ وَسَيِّدَاتُهُمْ مُرْضِعَاتِكِ. بِٱلْوُجُوهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَسْجُدُونَ لَكِ، وَيَلْحَسُونَ غُبَارَ رِجْلَيْكِ، فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَخْزَى مُنْتَظِرُوهُ». ٢٣ 23
And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their princesses your nurses, they shall bow down to you on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed.
هَلْ تُسْلَبُ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَّارِ غَنِيمَةٌ؟ وَهَلْ يُفْلِتُ سَبْيُ ٱلْمَنْصُورِ؟ ٢٤ 24
Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?
فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «حَتَّى سَبْيُ ٱلْجَبَّارِ يُسْلَبُ، وَغَنِيمَةُ ٱلْعَاتِي تُفْلِتُ. وَأَنَا أُخَاصِمُ مُخَاصِمَكِ وَأُخَلِّصُ أَوْلَادَكِ، ٢٥ 25
For thus says the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered: for I will plead your cause, and I will deliver your children.
وَأُطْعِمُ ظَالِمِيكِ لَحْمَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَيَسْكَرُونَ بِدَمِهِمْ كَمَا مِنْ سُلَافٍ، فَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُكِ، وَفَادِيكِ عَزِيزُ يَعْقُوبَ». ٢٦ 26
And they that afflicted you shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers you, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.
