إِشَعْيَاءَ 54

١ 1 «تَرَنَّمِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعَاقِرُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ. أَشِيدِي بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَمْخَضْ، لِأَنَّ بَنِي ٱلْمُسْتَوْحِشَةِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ بَنِي ذَاتِ ٱلْبَعْلِ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

“Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth; break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for the deserted wife will have more children than the children of the married wife,” says Adonai.

٢ 2 أَوْسِعِي مَكَانَ خَيْمَتِكِ، وَلْتُبْسَطْ شُقَقُ مَسَاكِنِكِ. لَا تُمْسِكِي. أَطِيلِي أَطْنَابَكِ وَشَدِّدِي أَوْتَادَكِ،

“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّكِ تَمْتَدِّينَ إِلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ وَإِلَى ٱلْيَسَارِ، وَيَرِثُ نَسْلُكِ أُمَمًا، وَيُعْمِرُ مُدُنًا خَرِبَةً.

For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations, and settle in desolate cities.

٤ 4 لَا تَخَافِي لِأَنَّكِ لَا تَخْزَيْنَ، وَلَا تَخْجَلِي لِأَنَّكِ لَا تَسْتَحِينَ. فَإِنَّكِ تَنْسَيْنَ خِزْيَ صَبَاكِ، وَعَارُ تَرَمُّلِكِ لَا تَذْكُرِينَهُ بَعْدُ.

“Don’t be afraid; for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded; for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth; and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ بَعْلَكِ هُوَ صَانِعُكِ، رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ، وَوَلِيُّكِ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَهَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُدْعَى.

For your Maker is your husband; Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is his name. The haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails] is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ كَٱمْرَأَةٍ مَهْجُورَةٍ وَمَحْزُونَةِ ٱلرُّوحِ دَعَاكِ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَكَزَوْجَةِ ٱلصِّبَا إِذَا رُذِلَتْ، قَالَ إِلَهُكِ.

For Adonai has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

٧ 7 لُحَيْظَةً تَرَكْتُكِ، وَبِمَرَاحِمَ عَظِيمَةٍ سَأَجْمَعُكِ.

“For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great racham ·merciful love· will I gather you.

٨ 8 بِفَيَضَانِ ٱلْغَضَبِ حَجَبْتُ وَجْهِي عَنْكِ لَحْظَةً، وَبِإِحْسَانٍ أَبَدِيٍّ أَرْحَمُكِ، قَالَ وَلِيُّكِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting cheshed ·loving-kindness· I will have racham ·merciful love· on you,” says Adonai your Redeemer.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ كَمِيَاهِ نُوحٍ هَذِهِ لِي. كَمَا حَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا تَعْبُرَ بَعْدُ مِيَاهُ نُوحٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، هَكَذَا حَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَغْضَبَ عَلَيْكِ وَلَا أَزْجُرَكِ.

“For this is like the waters of Noah [Rest] to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah [Rest] will no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

١٠ 10 فَإِنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تَزُولُ، وَٱلْآكَامَ تَتَزَعْزَعُ، أَمَّا إِحْسَانِي فَلَا يَزُولُ عَنْكِ، وَعَهْدُ سَلَامِي لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ، قَالَ رَاحِمُكِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my cheshed ·loving-kindness· will not depart from you, and my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of peace will not be removed,” says Adonai who has mercy on you.

١١ 11 «أَيَّتُهَا ٱلذَّلِيلَةُ ٱلْمُضْطَرِبَةُ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَعَزِّيَةِ، هَأَنَذَا أَبْنِي بِٱلْأُثْمُدِ حِجَارَتَكِ، وَبِٱلْيَاقُوتِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ أُؤَسِّسُكِ،

“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

١٢ 12 وَأَجْعَلُ شُرَفَكِ يَاقُوتًا، وَأَبْوَابَكِ حِجَارَةً بَهْرَمَانِيَّةً، وَكُلَّ تُخُومِكِ حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً

I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

١٣ 13 وَكُلَّ بَنِيكِ تَلَامِيذَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَلَامَ بَنِيكِ كَثِيرًا.

All your children will be taught by Adonai; and your children’s peace will be great.

١٤ 14 بِٱلْبِرِّ تُثَبَّتِينَ بَعِيدَةً عَنِ ٱلظُّلْمِ فَلَا تَخَافِينَ، وَعَنِ ٱلِٱرْتِعَابِ فَلَا يَدْنُو مِنْكِ.

In righteousness you will be established. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid; and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.

١٥ 15 هَا إِنَّهُمْ يَجْتَمِعُونَ ٱجْتِمَاعًا لَيْسَ مِنْ عِنْدِي. مَنِ ٱجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْكِ فَإِلَيْكِ يَسْقُطُ.

Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

١٦ 16 هَأَنَذَا قَدْ خَلَقْتُ ٱلْحَدَّادَ ٱلَّذِي يَنْفُخُ ٱلْفَحْمَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ وَيُخْرِجُ آلَةً لِعَمَلِهِ، وَأَنَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْمُهْلِكَ لِيَخْرِبَ.

“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

١٧ 17 «كُلُّ آلَةٍ صُوِّرَتْ ضِدَّكِ لَا تَنْجَحُ، وَكُلُّ لِسَانٍ يَقُومُ عَلَيْكِ فِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ تَحْكُمِينَ عَلَيْهِ. هَذَا هُوَ مِيرَاثُ عَبِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبِرُّهُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Adonai’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Adonai.
