إِشَعْيَاءَ 62
| مِنْ أَجْلِ صِهْيَوْنَ لَا أَسْكُتُ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ لَا أَهْدَأُ، حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ بِرُّهَا كَضِيَاءٍ وَخَلَاصُهَا كَمِصْبَاحٍ يَتَّقِدُ. | ١ 1 |
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
| فَتَرَى ٱلْأُمَمُ بِرَّكِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ مَجْدَكِ، وَتُسَمَّيْنَ بِٱسْمٍ جَدِيدٍ يُعَيِّنُهُ فَمُ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢ 2 |
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
| وَتَكُونِينَ إِكْلِيلَ جَمَالٍ بِيَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَاجًا مَلِكِيًّا بِكَفِّ إِلَهِكِ. | ٣ 3 |
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
| لَا يُقَالُ بَعْدُ لَكِ: «مَهْجُورَةٌ»، وَلَا يُقَالُ بَعْدُ لِأَرْضِكِ: «مُوحَشَةٌ»، بَلْ تُدْعَيْنَ: «حَفْصِيبَةَ»، وَأَرْضُكِ تُدْعَى: «بَعُولَةَ». لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُسَرُّ بِكِ، وَأَرْضُكِ تَصِيرُ ذَاتِ بَعْلٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
| لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا يَتَزَوَّجُ ٱلشَّابُّ عَذْرَاءَ، يَتَزَوَّجُكِ بَنُوكِ. وَكَفَرَحِ ٱلْعَرِيسِ بِٱلْعَرُوسِ يَفْرَحُ بِكِ إِلَهُكِ. | ٥ 5 |
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
| عَلَى أَسْوَارِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ أَقَمْتُ حُرَّاسًا لَا يَسْكُتُونَ كُلَّ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ عَلَى ٱلدَّوَامِ. يَاذَاكِرِي ٱلرَّبِّ لَا تَسْكُتُوا، | ٦ 6 |
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
| وَلَا تَدَعُوهُ يَسْكُتُ، حَتَّى يُثَبِّتَ وَيَجْعَلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ تَسْبِيحَةً فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٧ 7 |
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
| حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَمِينِهِ وَبِذِرَاعِ عِزَّتِهِ قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي لَا أَدْفَعُ بَعْدُ قَمْحَكِ مَأْكَلًا لِأَعْدَائِكِ، وَلَا يَشْرَبُ بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ خَمْرَكِ ٱلَّتِي تَعِبْتِ فِيهَا. | ٨ 8 |
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
| بَلْ يَأْكُلُهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَنَوْهُ وَيُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَيَشْرَبُهُ جَامِعُوهُ فِي دِيَارِ قُدْسِي». | ٩ 9 |
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
| اُعْبُرُوا، ٱعْبُرُوا بِٱلْأَبْوَابِ، هَيِّئُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. أَعِدُّوا، أَعِدُّوا ٱلسَّبِيلَ، نَقُّوهُ مِنَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ، ٱرْفَعُوا ٱلرَّايَةَ لِلشَّعْبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
| هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَخْبَرَ إِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، قُولُوا لِٱبْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ: «هُوَذَا مُخَلِّصُكِ آتٍ. هَا أُجْرَتُهُ مَعَهُ وَجِزَاؤُهُ أَمَامَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
| وَيُسَمُّونَهُمْ: «شَعْبًا مُقَدَّسًا»، «مَفْدِيِّي ٱلرَّبِّ». وَأَنْتِ تُسَمَّيْنَ: «ٱلْمَطْلُوبَةَ»، «ٱلْمَدِينَةَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمَهْجُورَةِ». | ١٢ 12 |
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
