إِشَعْيَاءَ 51

١ 1 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي أَيُّهَا ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ ٱلطَّالِبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ: ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْهُ قُطِعْتُمْ، وَإِلَى نُقْرَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا حُفِرْتُمُ.

“Listen to Me, you pursuing righteousness, Seeking YHWH, Look attentively to the rock—you have been hewn, And to the hole of the pit—you have been dug.

٢ 2 ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ، وَإِلَى سَارَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُهُ وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

Look attentively to your father Abraham, And to Sarah—she brings you forth, For—one—I have called him, And I bless him, and multiply him.”

٣ 3 فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى صِهْيَوْنَ. عَزَّى كُلَّ خِرَبِهَا، وَيَجْعَلُ بَرِّيَّتَهَا كَعَدْنٍ، وَبَادِيَتَهَا كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلِٱبْتِهَاجُ يُوجَدَانِ فِيهَا. ٱلْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ ٱلتَّرَنُّمِ.

For YHWH has comforted Zion, He has comforted all her ruins, And He sets her wilderness as Eden, And her desert as a garden of YHWH, Joy, indeed, gladness is found in her, Confession, and the voice of song.

٤ 4 «اُنْصُتُوا إِلَيَّ يَا شَعْبِي، وَيَا أُمَّتِي ٱصْغِي إِلَيَّ: لِأَنَّ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ عِنْدِي تَخْرُجُ، وَحَقِّي أُثَبِّتُهُ نُورًا لِلشُّعُوبِ.

“Attend to Me, O My people, And, O My nation, give ear to Me. For a law goes out from Me, And My judgment to the light, I cause peoples to rest.

٥ 5 قَرِيبٌ بِرِّي. قَدْ بَرَزَ خَلَاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ يَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ. إِيَّايَ تَرْجُو ٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَتَنْتَظِرُ ذِرَاعِي.

My righteousness [is] near, My salvation has gone out, And My arms judge peoples, Islands wait on Me, Indeed, on My arm they wait with hope.

٦ 6 «اِرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ عُيُونَكُمْ، وَٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتَ. فَإِنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَٱلدُّخَانِ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَٱلثَّوْبِ تَبْلَى، وَسُكَّانَهَا كَٱلْبَعُوضِ يَمُوتُونَ. أَمَّا خَلَاصِي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ وَبِرِّي لَا يُنْقَضُ.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look attentively to the earth beneath, For the heavens have vanished as smoke, And the earth wears out as a garment, And its inhabitants die as gnats, And My salvation is for all time, And My righteousness is not broken.

٧ 7 اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا عَارِفِي ٱلْبِرِّ، ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قَلْبِهِ: لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ تَعْيِيرِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ لَا تَرْتَاعُوا،

Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, A people in whose heart [is] My law, Do not fear the reproach of men, And do not be frightened of their reviling,

٨ 8 لِأَنَّهُ كَٱلثَّوْبِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلْعُثُّ، وَكَالصُّوفِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلسُّوسُ. أَمَّا بِرِّي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ، وَخَلَاصِي إِلَى دَوْرِ ٱلْأَدْوَارِ».

For a moth eats them as a garment, And a worm eats them as wool, And My righteousness is for all time, And My salvation from generation to generation.”

٩ 9 اِسْتَيْقِظِي، ٱسْتَيْقِظِي! ٱلْبَسِي قُوَّةً يَا ذِرَاعَ ٱلرَّبِّ! ٱسْتَيْقِظِي كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَدْوَارِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ ٱلْقَاطِعَةَ رَهَبَ، ٱلطَّاعِنَةَ ٱلتِّنِّينَ؟

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of YHWH, Awake, as [in] days of old, generations of the ages, Are You not it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon?

١٠ 10 أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ هِيَ ٱلْمُنَشِّفَةَ ٱلْبَحْرَ، مِيَاهَ ٱلْغَمْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، ٱلْجَاعِلَةَ أَعْمَاقَ ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا لِعُبُورِ ٱلْمَفْدِيِّينَ؟

Are You not it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That has made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

١١ 11 وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. يَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ.

And the ransomed of YHWH return, And they have come to Zion with singing, And continuous joy [is] on their head, They attain gladness and joy, Sorrow and sighing have fled away,

١٢ 12 «أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ. مَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخَافِي مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَمُوتُ، وَمِنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يُجْعَلُ كَٱلْعُشْبِ؟

“I [am] He who comforts you, Who [are] you—and you are afraid of man? He dies! And of the son of man—he is made [like] grass!

١٣ 13 وَتَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ صَانِعَكَ، بَاسِطَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَفْزَعُ دَائِمًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ عِنْدَمَا هَيَّأَ لِلْإِهْلَاكِ. وَأَيْنَ غَضَبُ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ؟

And you forget YHWH your Maker, Who is stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And you continually fear all the day, Because of the fury of the oppressor, As he has prepared to destroy. And where [is] the fury of the oppressor?

١٤ 14 سَرِيعًا يُطْلَقُ ٱلْمُنْحَنِي، وَلَا يَمُوتُ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ وَلَا يُعْدَمُ خُبْزُهُ.

A wanderer has hurried to be loosed, And he does not die in the pit, And his bread is not lacking.

١٥ 15 وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرِ فَتَعِجُّ لُجَجُهُ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

And I [am] your God YHWH, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.

١٦ 16 وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَقْوَالِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَبِظِلِّ يَدِي سَتَرْتُكَ لِغَرْسِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأْسِيسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلِتَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي».

And I put My words in your mouth, And have covered you with the shadow of My hand, To plant the heavens, and to found earth, And to say to Zion, You [are] My people.”

١٧ 17 اِنْهَضِي، ٱنْهَضِي! قُومِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلَّتِي شَرِبْتِ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ شَرِبْتِ. مَصَصْتِ.

Stir yourself, stir yourself, rise, Jerusalem, You who have drunk from the hand of YHWH The cup of His fury, The goblet, the cup of trembling, you have drunk, You have wrung out.

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ لَهَا مَنْ يَقُودُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُمْسِكُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

There is not a leader to her Out of all the sons she has borne, And there is none laying hold on her hand Out of all the sons she has nourished.

١٩ 19 اِثْنَانِ هُمَا مُلَاقِيَاكِ. مَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ؟ ٱلْخَرَابُ وَالِٱنْسِحَاقُ وَٱلْجُوعُ وَٱلسَّيْفُ. بِمَنْ أُعَزِّيكِ؟

These two are meeting you, Who is moved for you? Spoiling and destruction, famine and sword! By whom do I comfort you?

٢٠ 20 بَنُوكِ قَدْ أَعْيَوْا. ٱضْطَجَعُوا فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ زُقَاقٍ كَٱلْوَعْلِ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. ٱلْمَلآنُونَ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ زَجْرَةِ إِلَهِكِ.

Your sons have been wrapped up, they have lain down, At the head of all out places, as an antelope [in] a dragnet, They are full of the fury of YHWH, The rebuke of Your God.

٢١ 21 لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَائِسَةُ وَٱلسَّكْرَى وَلَيْسَ بِٱلْخَمْرِ.

Therefore, please hear this, O afflicted and drunken one, and not with wine,

٢٢ 22 هَكَذَا قَالَ سَيِّدُكِ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَهُكِ ٱلَّذِي يُحَاكِمُ لِشَعْبِهِ: «هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي. لَا تَعُودِينَ تَشْرَبِينَهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

Thus said your Lord YHWH, and your God, He pleads [for] His people: “Behold, I have taken the cup of trembling out of your hand, The goblet, the cup of My fury, You do not add to drink it anymore.

٢٣ 23 وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا لِنَفْسِكِ: ٱنْحَنِي لِنَعْبُرَ. فَوَضَعْتِ كَٱلْأَرْضِ ظَهْرَكِ وَكَالزُّقَاقِ لِلْعَابِرِينَ».

And I have put it into the hand of those afflicting you, Who have said to your soul, Bow down, and we pass over, And you make your body as the earth, And as the street to those passing by!”
