«اِسْمَعُوا لِي أَيُّهَا ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ ٱلطَّالِبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ: ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْهُ قُطِعْتُمْ، وَإِلَى نُقْرَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا حُفِرْتُمُ. ١ 1
[Yahweh says], “You people who desire to act righteously/justly, who want to do what I want you to do, listen to me! Think about Abraham! [It is as though] [MET] he was a huge rock cliff; and when you [people of Israel became a nation], [it was as though] [MET] you were cut from that rock [DOU].
ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ، وَإِلَى سَارَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُهُ وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ. ٢ 2
Think about your ancestor Abraham and [his wife] Sarah, of whom [all of] you are descendants. When I first spoke to Abraham, he had no children. But after I blessed him, he had a huge number of descendants.
فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى صِهْيَوْنَ. عَزَّى كُلَّ خِرَبِهَا، وَيَجْعَلُ بَرِّيَّتَهَا كَعَدْنٍ، وَبَادِيَتَهَا كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلِٱبْتِهَاجُ يُوجَدَانِ فِيهَا. ٱلْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ ٱلتَّرَنُّمِ. ٣ 3
[Some day I], Yahweh, will encourage his descendants [again], and I will comfort all [the people who live in] the ruins [of Jerusalem]. The desert in that area will become like Eden, like the garden that I, Yahweh, [made/planted]. All the people there will be joyful and happy; they will thank me and sing.
«اُنْصُتُوا إِلَيَّ يَا شَعْبِي، وَيَا أُمَّتِي ٱصْغِي إِلَيَّ: لِأَنَّ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ عِنْدِي تَخْرُجُ، وَحَقِّي أُثَبِّتُهُ نُورًا لِلشُّعُوبِ. ٤ 4
My people of Judah, listen carefully [DOU] to me, because [I want you to] proclaim my laws; the just/right things that I do will be [like] [MET] a light for the people of the nations.
قَرِيبٌ بِرِّي. قَدْ بَرَزَ خَلَاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ يَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ. إِيَّايَ تَرْجُو ٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَتَنْتَظِرُ ذِرَاعِي. ٥ 5
I will soon/quickly rescue you [DOU]; by my power [MTY] I will bring you back [from being exiled in Babylonia] [DOU]. The people who live on islands in the ocean will wait for me [to help them], confidently expecting for me to use my power [MTY].
«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. ٦ 6
Look up at the sky, and look at the earth, [and see what they are like now], because [some day] the sky will disappear like [SIM] smoke, and the earth will wear out like [SIM] old clothes wear out, and people on the earth will die like gnats/flies. But I will rescue/save you, and you will remain free forever, and I will rule you righteously/fairly forever.
اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا عَارِفِي ٱلْبِرِّ، ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قَلْبِهِ: لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ تَعْيِيرِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ لَا تَرْتَاعُوا، ٧ 7
You people who know what things are right to do, and who know in your inner beings [what is written in] my laws, listen to me! Do not be afraid of people who taunt/insult you; do not be disturbed/upset when people revile you,
لِأَنَّهُ كَٱلثَّوْبِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلْعُثُّ، وَكَالصُّوفِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلسُّوسُ. أَمَّا بِرِّي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ، وَخَلَاصِي إِلَى دَوْرِ ٱلْأَدْوَارِ». ٨ 8
because [some day they will be destroyed] like [MET] clothing that is eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches), like wool garments that have been eaten by worms. I will save you people, and you will be saved forever.”
اِسْتَيْقِظِي، ٱسْتَيْقِظِي! ٱلْبَسِي قُوَّةً يَا ذِرَاعَ ٱلرَّبِّ! ٱسْتَيْقِظِي كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَدْوَارِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ ٱلْقَاطِعَةَ رَهَبَ، ٱلطَّاعِنَةَ ٱلتِّنِّينَ؟ ٩ 9
Yahweh, wake up [and do something for us]! Show your power! Do mighty things like you did long ago, when you stabbed [RHQ] that sea monster/dragon Rahab and cut it into pieces.
أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ هِيَ ٱلْمُنَشِّفَةَ ٱلْبَحْرَ، مِيَاهَ ٱلْغَمْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، ٱلْجَاعِلَةَ أَعْمَاقَ ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا لِعُبُورِ ٱلْمَفْدِيِّينَ؟ ١٠ 10
Surely you are [RHQ] the one who caused the [Red] Sea to become dry and made a path through that deep water in order that your people could cross it!
وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. يَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ. ١١ 11
And those whom Yahweh will rescue [from being exiled in Babylonia] will [similarly] return to Jerusalem, singing. Their being joyful forever will be [like] [MET] a crown on their heads. They will not be sad or mourn any more; they will be [completely] joyful and happy.
«أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ. مَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخَافِي مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَمُوتُ، وَمِنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يُجْعَلُ كَٱلْعُشْبِ؟ ١٢ 12
[Yahweh says], “I am the one who encourages you. So (why are you/you should not be) [RHQ] afraid of humans who will [wither and disappear like] [MET] grass.
وَتَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ صَانِعَكَ، بَاسِطَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَفْزَعُ دَائِمًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ عِنْدَمَا هَيَّأَ لِلْإِهْلَاكِ. وَأَيْنَ غَضَبُ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ؟ ١٣ 13
(Why have you/You should not have) [RHQ] forgotten [me], Yahweh, the one who created your nation, the one who stretched out the sky and laid the foundations of the earth. (Why are you/You should not be) [RHQ] continually afraid of those who are angry with you and (oppress you/treat you cruelly) and want to get rid of you. [You should not be afraid of them now], because those angry people have now disappeared!
سَرِيعًا يُطْلَقُ ٱلْمُنْحَنِي، وَلَا يَمُوتُ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ وَلَا يُعْدَمُ خُبْزُهُ. ١٤ 14
Soon you people who have been caused to be slaves [in Babylonia] will be freed! You will not remain in prison, and you will not die of hunger,
وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرِ فَتَعِجُّ لُجَجُهُ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. ١٥ 15
because I am Yahweh, your God, the one who stirs up the sea and causes the waves to roar; I am the Commander of the armies of angels!
وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَقْوَالِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَبِظِلِّ يَدِي سَتَرْتُكَ لِغَرْسِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأْسِيسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلِتَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي». ١٦ 16
I have given you my message [MTY] to proclaim, and I have protected you with my hand [MTY]. I stretched out the sky and laid the foundation of the earth. And I am the one who says to you Israeli people, ‘You are my people!’”
اِنْهَضِي، ٱنْهَضِي! قُومِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلَّتِي شَرِبْتِ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ شَرِبْتِ. مَصَصْتِ. ١٧ 17
[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, wake up [DOU]! You have experienced Yahweh severely punishing [MTY] you. Yahweh has caused you to suffer much, all that he wanted you to suffer, like [MET] someone who causes another person to suffer by forcing him to drink every drop of [MTY] a cupful of bitter liquid.
لَيْسَ لَهَا مَنْ يَقُودُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُمْسِكُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ. ١٨ 18
[Now] you do not have any children who are alive [DOU] and able to take your hand and guide you.
اِثْنَانِ هُمَا مُلَاقِيَاكِ. مَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ؟ ٱلْخَرَابُ وَالِٱنْسِحَاقُ وَٱلْجُوعُ وَٱلسَّيْفُ. بِمَنْ أُعَزِّيكِ؟ ١٩ 19
You have experienced several disasters: Your country has become desolate/deserted; [your cities have been] destroyed; [many people have] died from hunger; [many people have been] killed by your enemies’ swords. Now, there is no one [RHQ] left to console/comfort you and sympathize with you.
بَنُوكِ قَدْ أَعْيَوْا. ٱضْطَجَعُوا فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ زُقَاقٍ كَٱلْوَعْلِ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. ٱلْمَلآنُونَ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ زَجْرَةِ إِلَهِكِ. ٢٠ 20
Your children have fainted and lie in the streets; they are [as helpless as] [SIM] an antelope [that has been caught] in a net. What has happened to them is because Yahweh has been very angry with them; he has rebuked them severely.
لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَائِسَةُ وَٱلسَّكْرَى وَلَيْسَ بِٱلْخَمْرِ. ٢١ 21
So now, you people who have suffered much, [you act as though] you are drunk, but it is not because you have drunk a lot of wine.
هَكَذَا قَالَ سَيِّدُكِ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَهُكِ ٱلَّذِي يُحَاكِمُ لِشَعْبِهِ: «هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي. لَا تَعُودِينَ تَشْرَبِينَهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ. ٢٢ 22
Yahweh, your Lord and your God, the one who argues/pleads your case, says this: “Note this: [It is as though] [MET] I have taken that cup of bitter liquid from your hands; I will not be angry with you and cause you to suffer any more.
وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا لِنَفْسِكِ: ٱنْحَنِي لِنَعْبُرَ. فَوَضَعْتِ كَٱلْأَرْضِ ظَهْرَكِ وَكَالزُّقَاقِ لِلْعَابِرِينَ». ٢٣ 23
Instead, I will cause those who have tormented you to suffer; [I will severely punish] those who said to you, ‘Prostrate yourselves in order that we may walk on you; [lie down on your stomachs] in order that your backs will be like [SIM] streets that we can walk on.’”
