إِشَعْيَاءَ 50

١ 1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «أَيْنَ كِتَابُ طَلَاقِ أُمِّكُمُ ٱلَّتِي طَلَّقْتُهَا، أَوْ مَنْ هُوَ مِنْ غُرَمَائِي ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُهُ إِيَّاكُمْ؟ هُوَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ آثَامِكُمْ قَدْ بُعْتُمْ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ طُلِّقَتْ أُمُّكُمْ.

This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].

٢ 2 لِمَاذَا جِئْتُ وَلَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ، نَادَيْتُ وَلَيْسَ مُجِيبٌ؟ هَلْ قَصَرَتْ يَدِي عَنِ ٱلْفِدَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ لَيْسَ فِيَّ قُدْرَةٌ لِلْإِنْقَاذِ؟ هُوَذَا بِزَجْرَتِي أُنَشِّفُ ٱلْبَحْرَ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قَفْرًا. يُنْتِنُ سَمَكُهَا مِنْ عَدَمِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَيَمُوتُ بِٱلْعَطَشِ.

When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.

٣ 3 أُلْبِسُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ظَلَامًا، وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْمِسْحَ غِطَاءَهَا».

I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”

٤ 4 أَعْطَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَانَ ٱلْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ لِأَعْرِفَ أَنْ أُغِيثَ ٱلْمُعْيِيَ بِكَلِمَةٍ. يُوقِظُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ، يُوقِظُ لِي أُذُنًا، لِأَسْمَعَ كَٱلْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ.

Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.

٥ 5 ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ فَتَحَ لِي أُذُنًا وَأَنَا لَمْ أُعَانِدْ. إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ لَمْ أَرْتَدَّ.

Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.

٦ 6 بَذَلْتُ ظَهْرِي لِلضَّارِبِينَ، وَخَدَّيَّ لِلنَّاتِفِينَ. وَجْهِي لَمْ أَسْتُرْ عَنِ ٱلْعَارِ وَٱلْبَصْقِ.

I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.

٧ 7 وَٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُعِينُنِي، لِذَلِكَ لَا أَخْجَلُ. لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي كَٱلصَّوَّانِ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنِّي لَا أَخْزَى.

But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.

٨ 8 قَرِيبٌ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُبَرِّرُنِي. مَنْ يُخَاصِمُنِي؟ لِنَتَوَاقَفْ! مَنْ هُوَ صَاحِبُ دَعْوَى مَعِي؟ لِيَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَيَّ!

God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].

٩ 9 هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُعِينُنِي. مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَحْكُمُ عَلَيَّ؟ هُوَذَا كُلُّهُمْ كَٱلثَّوْبِ يَبْلَوْنَ. يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلْعُثُّ.

The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).

١٠ 10 مَنْ مِنْكُمْ خَائِفُ ٱلرَّبِّ، سَامِعٌ لِصَوْتِ عَبْدِهِ؟ مَنِ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَاتِ وَلَا نُورَ لَهُ؟ فَلْيَتَّكِلْ عَلَى ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَسْتَنِدْ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ.

If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].

١١ 11 يَا هَؤُلَاءِ جَمِيعُكُمُ، ٱلْقَادِحِينَ نَارًا، ٱلْمُتَنَطِّقِينَ بِشَرَارٍ، ٱسْلُكُوا بِنُورِ نَارِكُمْ وَبِٱلشَّرَارِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْقَدْتُمُوهُ. مِنْ يَدِي صَارَ لَكُمْ هَذَا. فِي ٱلْوَجَعِ تَضْطَجِعُونَ.

But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
