إِشَعْيَاءَ 55

١ 1 «أَيُّهَا ٱلْعِطَاشُ جَمِيعًا هَلُمُّوا إِلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ فِضَّةٌ تَعَالَوْا ٱشْتَرُوا وَكُلُوا. هَلُمُّوا ٱشْتَرُوا بِلَا فِضَّةٍ وَبِلَا ثَمَنٍ خَمْرًا وَلَبَنًا.

You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.

٢ 2 لِمَاذَا تَزِنُونَ فِضَّةً لِغَيْرِ خُبْزٍ، وَتَعَبَكُمْ لِغَيْرِ شَبَعٍ؟ ٱسْتَمِعُوا لِي ٱسْتِمَاعًا وَكُلُوا ٱلطَّيِّبَ، وَلْتَتَلَذَّذْ بِٱلدَّسَمِ أَنْفُسُكُمْ.

Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labour for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

٣ 3 أَمِيلُوا آذَانَكُمْ وَهَلُمُّوا إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعُوا فَتَحْيَا أَنْفُسُكُمْ. وَأَقْطَعَ لَكُمْ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، مَرَاحِمَ دَاوُدَ ٱلصَّادِقَةَ.

Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

٤ 4 هُوَذَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ شَارِعًا لِلشُّعُوبِ، رَئِيسًا وَمُوصِيًا لِلشُّعُوبِ.

Behold I have made him a testimony amongst the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.

٥ 5 هَا أُمَّةٌ لَا تَعْرِفُهَا تَدْعُوهَا، وَأُمَّةٌ لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ تَرْكُضُ إِلَيْكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ وَقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَجَّدَكَ».

Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.

٦ 6 اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَا دَامَ يُوجَدُ. ٱدْعُوهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ.

Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,

٧ 7 لِيَتْرُكِ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ طَرِيقَهُ، وَرَجُلُ ٱلْإِثْمِ أَفْكَارَهُ، وَلْيَتُبْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَيَرْحَمَهُ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِنَا لِأَنَّهُ يُكْثِرُ ٱلْغُفْرَانَ.

let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.

٨ 8 «لِأَنَّ أَفْكَارِي لَيْسَتْ أَفْكَارَكُمْ، وَلَا طُرُقُكُمْ طُرُقِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا عَلَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، هَكَذَا عَلَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ أَفْكَارِكُمْ.

But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا يَنْزِلُ ٱلْمَطَرُ وَٱلثَّلْجُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلَا يَرْجِعَانِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، بَلْ يُرْوِيَانِ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيَجْعَلَانِهَا تَلِدُ وَتُنْبِتُ وَتُعْطِي زَرْعًا لِلزَّارِعِ وَخُبْزًا لِلْآكِلِ،

For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:

١١ 11 هَكَذَا تَكُونُ كَلِمَتِي ٱلَّتِي تَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِي. لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيَّ فَارِغَةً، بَلْ تَعْمَلُ مَا سُرِرْتُ بِهِ وَتَنْجَحُ فِي مَا أَرْسَلْتُهَا لَهُ.

so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ تَخْرُجُونَ وَبِسَلَامٍ تُحْضَرُونَ. ٱلْجِبَالُ وَٱلْآكَامُ تُشِيدُ أَمَامَكُمْ تَرَنُّمًا، وَكُلُّ شَجَرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ تُصَفِّقُ بِٱلْأَيَادِي.

For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

١٣ 13 عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱلشَّوْكِ يَنْبُتُ سَرْوٌ، وَعِوَضًا عَنِ ٱلْقَرِيسِ يَطْلَعُ آسٌ. وَيَكُونُ لِلرَّبِّ ٱسْمًا، عَلَامَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لَا تَنْقَطِعُ».

And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
