إِشَعْيَاءَ 59

١ 1 هَا إِنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ لَمْ تَقْصُرْ عَنْ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ، وَلَمْ تَثْقَلْ أُذُنُهُ عَنْ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ.

Behold, the hand of YHWH Has not been shortened from saving, Nor His ear heavy from hearing.

٢ 2 بَلْ آثَامُكُمْ صَارَتْ فَاصِلَةً بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ سَتَرَتْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ.

But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you—from hearing.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ بِٱلدَّمِ، وَأَصَابِعَكُمْ بِٱلْإِثْمِ. شِفَاهُكُمْ تَكَلَّمَتْ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانُكُمْ يَلْهَجُ بِٱلشَّرِّ.

For your hands have been defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters perverseness.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱلْعَدْلِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُحَاكِمُ بِٱلْحَقِّ. يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. قَدْ حَبِلُوا بِتَعَبٍ، وَوَلَدُوا إِثْمًا.

There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.

٥ 5 فَقَسُوا بَيْضَ أَفْعَى، وَنَسَجُوا خُيُوطَ ٱلْعَنْكَبُوتِ. ٱلْآكِلُ مِنْ بَيْضِهِمْ يَمُوتُ، وَٱلَّتِي تُكْسَرُ تُخْرِجُ أَفْعَى.

They have hatched eggs of a viper, And weave webs of a spider, Whoever is eating their eggs dies, and the crushed hatches a viper.

٦ 6 خُيُوطُهُمْ لَا تَصِيرُ ثَوْبًا، وَلَا يَكْتَسُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْمَالُهُمْ أَعْمَالُ إِثْمٍ، وَفَعْلُ ٱلظُّلْمِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ.

Their webs do not become a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands.

٧ 7 أَرْجُلُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلشَّرِّ تَجْرِي، وَتُسْرِعُ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلزَّكِيِّ. أَفْكَارُهُمْ أَفْكَارُ إِثْمٍ. فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسَحْقٌ.

Their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.

٨ 8 طَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي مَسَالِكِهِمْ عَدْلٌ. جَعَلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سُبُلًا مُعْوَجَّةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسِيرُ فِيهَا لَا يَعْرِفُ سَلَامًا.

They have not known a way of peace, And there is no judgment in their paths, They have made their paths perverse for themselves, None treading in it has known peace.

٩ 9 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱبْتَعَدَ ٱلْحَقُّ عَنَّا، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْنَا ٱلْعَدْلُ. نَنْتَظِرُ نُورًا فَإِذَا ظَلَامٌ. ضِيَاءً فَنَسِيرُ فِي ظَلَامٍ دَامِسٍ.

Therefore judgment has been far from us, And righteousness does not reach us, We wait for light, and behold, darkness, For brightness—in thick darkness we go,

١٠ 10 نَتَلَمَّسُ ٱلْحَائِطَ كَعُمْيٍ، وَكَٱلَّذِي بِلَا أَعْيُنٍ نَتَجَسَّسُ. قَدْ عَثَرْنَا فِي ٱلظُّهْرِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ، فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ كَمَوْتَى.

We feel [for] the wall like the blind, Indeed, we feel as without eyes, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.

١١ 11 نَزْأَرُ كُلُّنَا كَدُبَّةٍ، وَكَحَمَامٍ هَدْرًا نَهْدِرُ. نَنْتَظِرُ عَدْلًا وَلَيْسَ هُوَ، وَخَلَاصًا فَيَبْتَعِدُ عَنَّا.

We make a noise as bears—all of us, And we coo severely as doves; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation—it has been far from us.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ أَمَامَكَ، وَخَطَايَانَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا، لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا مَعَنَا، وَآثَامَنَا نَعْرِفُهَا.

For our transgressions have been multiplied before You, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities—we have known them.

١٣ 13 تَعَدَّيْنَا وَكَذِبْنَا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَحِدْنَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ إِلَهِنَا. تَكَلَّمْنَا بِٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ. حَبِلْنَا وَلَهَجْنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَلْبِ بِكَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ.

Transgressing, and lying against YHWH, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.

١٤ 14 وَقَدِ ٱرْتَدَّ ٱلْحَقُّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَٱلْعَدْلُ يَقِفُ بَعِيدًا. لِأَنَّ ٱلصِّدْقَ سَقَطَ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ، وَٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلدُّخُولَ.

And judgment is removed backward, And righteousness stands far off, For truth has been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,

١٥ 15 وَصَارَ ٱلصِّدْقُ مَعْدُومًا، وَٱلْحَائِدُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُسْلَبُ. فَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ وَسَاءَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَدْلٌ.

And the truth is lacking, And whoever is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And YHWH sees, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.

١٦ 16 فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ، وَتَحَيَّرَ مِنْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَفِيعٌ. فَخَلَّصَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَبِرُّهُ هُوَ عَضَدَهُ.

And He sees that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm gives salvation to Him, And His righteousness—it sustained Him.

١٧ 17 فَلَبِسَ ٱلْبِرَّ كَدِرْعٍ، وَخُوذَةَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابَ ٱلِٱنْتِقَامِ كَلِبَاسٍ، وَٱكْتَسَى بِٱلْغَيْرَةِ كَرِدَاءٍ.

And He puts on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head, And He puts on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.

١٨ 18 حَسَبَ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ هَكَذَا يُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيهِ سَخَطًا، وَأَعْدَاءَهُ عِقَابًا. جَزَاءً يُجَازِي ٱلْجَزَائِرَ.

According to deeds—so He repays. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the islands He repays [their] deed.

١٩ 19 فَيَخَافُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ مَجْدَهُ. عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي ٱلْعَدُوُّ كَنَهْرٍ فَنَفْخَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَدْفَعُهُ.

And from the west they fear the Name of YHWH, And from the rising of the sun—His glory, When an adversary comes in as a flood, The Spirit of YHWH has raised an ensign against him.

٢٠ 20 «وَيَأْتِي ٱلْفَادِي إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَإِلَى ٱلتَّائِبِينَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ فِي يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

“And the Redeemer has come to Zion, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا أَنَا فَهَذَا عَهْدِي مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: رُوحِي ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ، وَكَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُهُ فِي فَمِكَ لَا يَزُولُ مِنْ فَمِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِكَ، وَلَا مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِ نَسْلِكَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنَ ٱلْآنَ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

“And I—this [is] My covenant with them,” said YHWH, “My Spirit that [is] on you, And My words that I have put in your mouth, Do not depart from your mouth, And from the mouth of your seed, And from the mouth of your seed’s seed,” said YHWH, “From now on, even for all time!”
