إِشَعْيَاءَ 57

١ 1 بَادَ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَضَعُ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ. وَرِجَالُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ يُضَمُّونَ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْطَنُ بِأَنَّهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُضَمُّ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ.

The righteous one, hath perished, And not a man, hath taken it to heart—Yea the men of lovingkindness, have been withdrawn No one considering, That from the presence of calamity, hath the righteous been withdrawn.

٢ 2 يَدْخُلُ ٱلسَّلَامَ. يَسْتَرِيحُونَ فِي مَضَاجِعِهِمِ. ٱلسَّالِكُ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ.

He entereth into peace, Let them rest upon their couches, —Each one who went on a straight path.

٣ 3 «أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا بَنِي ٱلسَّاحِرَةِ، نَسْلَ ٱلْفَاسِقِ وَٱلزَّانِيَةِ.

But, ye, …draw near hither, Ye sons of divination, —Ye seed of an adulterer when your mother committed unchastity!

٤ 4 بِمَنْ تَسْخَرُونَ، وَعَلَى مَنْ تَفْغَرُونَ ٱلْفَمَ وَتَدْلَعُونَ ٱللِّسَانَ؟ أَمَا أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَادُ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ، نَسْلُ ٱلْكَذِبِ؟

Against whom would ye disport yourselves? Against whom would ye widen the mouth and lengthen the tongue, —Are not, ye, Children of transgression, A Seed of falsehood.

٥ 5 ٱلْمُتَوَقِّدُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَصْنَامِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، ٱلْقَاتِلُونَ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ فِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ تَحْتَ شُقُوقِ ٱلْمَعَاقِلِ.

Who inflame yourselves With the terebinths, Under every green tree—Slaying the children, In the torrent-valleys, Under the clefts of the crags:

٦ 6 فِي حِجَارَةِ ٱلْوَادِي ٱلْمُلْسِ نَصِيبُكِ. تِلْكَ هِيَ قُرْعَتُكِ. لِتِلْكَ سَكَبْتِ سَكِيبًا وَأَصْعَدْتِ تَقْدِمَةً. أَعَنْ هَذِهِ أَتَعَزَّى؟

Among the smooth stones of the torrent—valley, is thy portion. They, they, are thy lot; Even to them, hast thou Poured out a drink-offering. Caused to ascend a gift. Over these things, can I cease to grieve?

٧ 7 عَلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ وَمُرْتَفِعٍ وَضَعْتِ مَضْجَعَكِ، وَإِلَى هُنَاكَ صَعِدْتِ لِتَذْبَحِي ذَبِيحَةً.

On a mountain high and uplifted, hast thou set thy couch, —Even thither, hast thou gone up, to offer sacrifice;

٨ 8 وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَابِ وَٱلْقَائِمَةِ وَضَعْتِ تَذْكَارَكِ، لِأَنَّكِ لِغَيْرِي كَشَفْتِ وَصَعِدْتِ. أَوْسَعْتِ مَضْجَعَكِ وَقَطَعْتِ لِنَفْسِكِ عَهْدًا مَعَهُمْ. أَحْبَبْتِ مَضْجَعَهُمْ. نَظَرْتِ فُرْصَةً.

And behind the door and the post, hast thou set thy symbol, For, with another than me, hast thou uncovered thyself and gone up—Hast widened thy couch, And hast solemnised for thyself a covenant from them, Thou hast loved their couch a sign, hast thou seen;

٩ 9 وَسِرْتِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلدُّهْنِ، وَأَكْثَرْتِ أَطْيَابَكِ، وَأَرْسَلْتِ رُسُلَكِ إِلَى بُعْدٍ وَنَزَلْتِ حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)

And hast gone to the king with oil, And hast multiplied thy perfumes, —And hast sent thy messengers afar, And…lowered thyself as far as hades! (Sheol h7585)

١٠ 10 بِطُولِ أَسْفَارِكِ أَعْيَيْتِ، وَلَمْ تَقُولِي: يَئِسْتُ. شَهْوَتَكِ وَجَدْتِ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ تَضْعُفِي.

With the length of thy journey, thou wast wearied, Thou didst not say, Hopeless! The reviving of thy power, thou didst find, For this cause, hast thou not become sick.

١١ 11 وَمِمَّنْ خَشِيتِ وَخِفْتِ حَتَّى خُنْتِ، وَإِيَّايَ لَمْ تَذْكُرِي، وَلَا وَضَعْتِ فِي قَلْبِكِ؟ أَمَّا أَنَا سَاكِتٌ، وَذَلِكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، فَإِيَّايَ لَمْ تَخَافِي.

Whom then hadst thou been anxious about and feared that thou shouldest speak falsely, When me, thou rememberedst not, caredst not for me? Did not, I, keep silence even from age-past times, Although me, thou wouldest not fear?

١٢ 12 أَنَا أُخْبِرُ بِبِرِّكِ وَبِأَعْمَالِكِ فَلَا تُفِيدُكِ.

I, will expose thy righteousness, —And thy works—but they will not profit thee!

١٣ 13 إِذْ تَصْرُخِينَ فَلْيُنْقِذْكِ جُمُوعُكِ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلرِّيحُ تَحْمِلُهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ. تَأْخُذُهُمْ نَفَخَةٌ. أَمَّا ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُ عَلَيَّ فَيَمْلِكُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيَرِثُ جَبَلَ قُدْسِي».

When thou makest outcry, let thy gathered throngs deliver thee! But all of them, shall A wind, catch up—A breath, take away! Whereas he that seeketh refuge in me, Shall inherit the land, And possess my holy mountain.

١٤ 14 وَيَقُولُ: «أَعِدُّوا، أَعِدُّوا. هَيِّئُوا ٱلطَّرِيقَ. ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلْمَعْثَرَةَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ شَعْبِي».

And one said—Cast ye up—cast ye up, prepare ye a way, —Lift the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلْعَلِيُّ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعُ، سَاكِنُ ٱلْأَبَدِ، ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱسْمُهُ: «فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ أَسْكُنُ، وَمَعَ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِ وَٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِ ٱلرُّوحِ، لِأُحْيِيَ رُوحَ ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ، وَلِأُحْيِيَ قَلْبَ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِينَ.

For, thus, saith he that is high and lifted up—Inhabiting futurity, And, holy, is his name: A high and holy place, will I inhabit, Also with the crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly, and To revive the heart of them who are crushed; —

١٦ 16 لِأَنِّي لَا أُخَاصِمُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا أَغْضَبُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يُغْشَى عَلَيْهَا أَمَامِي، وَٱلنَّسَمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتُهَا.

For not age-abidingly, will I contend, Nor perpetually, will I be wroth, —For, spirit, before me, would faint, Even the breathing souls, which, I, had made.

١٧ 17 مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِ مَكْسَبِهِ غَضِبْتُ وَضَرَبْتُهُ. اَسْتَتَرْتُ وَغَضِبْتُ، فَذَهَبَ عَاصِيًا فِي طَرِيقِ قَلْبِهِ.

Because of his iniquitous gain, was I wroth—and smote him Hiding myself that I might be wroth, —But he went on turning aside in the way of his own heart.

١٨ 18 رَأَيْتُ طُرُقَهُ وَسَأَشْفِيهِ وَأَقُودُهُ، وَأَرُدُّ تَعْزِيَاتٍ لَهُ وَلِنَائِحِيهِ

His ways, have I beheld, That I might heal him, —And guide him, And restore consolations to him and to his mourners:

١٩ 19 خَالِقًا ثَمَرَ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ. سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ لِلْبَعِيدِ وَلِلْقَرِيبِ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَسَأَشْفِيهِ.

Creating the fruit of the lips—Prosperity! Prosperity! For him that is far off and for him that is near saith Yahweh, So should I heal him.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَكَالْبَحْرِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِبِ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَهْدَأَ، وَتَقْذِفُ مِيَاهُهُ حَمْأَةً وَطِينًا.

But, the lawless, are like the sea when tossed, —For, rest, it cannot! But its waters toss out mire and dirt.

٢١ 21 لَيْسَ سَلَامٌ، قَالَ إِلَهِي، لِلْأَشْرَارِ.

No well-being, saith my God, to the lawless!
