إِشَعْيَاءَ 66

١ 1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ كُرْسِيِّي، وَٱلْأَرْضُ مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيَّ. أَيْنَ ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي تَبْنُونَ لِي؟ وَأَيْنَ مَكَانُ رَاحَتِي؟

This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?

٢ 2 وَكُلُّ هَذِهِ صَنَعَتْهَا يَدِي، فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ هَذِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَإِلَى هَذَا أَنْظُرُ: إِلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقِ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْمُرْتَعِدِ مِنْ كَلَامِي.

Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.

٣ 3 مَنْ يَذْبَحُ ثَوْرًا فَهُوَ قَاتِلُ إِنْسَانٍ. مَنْ يَذْبَحُ شَاةً فَهُوَ نَاحِرُ كَلْبٍ. مَنْ يُصْعِدُ تَقْدِمَةً يُصْعِدُ دَمَ خِنْزِيرٍ. مَنْ أَحْرَقَ لُبَانًا فَهُوَ مُبَارِكٌ وَثَنًا. بَلْ هُمُ ٱخْتَارُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَبِمَكْرَهَاتِهِمْ سُرَّتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ.

Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.

٤ 4 فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَخْتَارُ مَصَائِبَهُمْ، وَمَخَاوِفَهُمْ أَجْلِبُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا. بَلْ عَمِلُوا ٱلْقَبِيحَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَٱخْتَارُوا مَا لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ».

So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”

٥ 5 اِسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْتَعِدُونَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ: «قَالَ إِخْوَتُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْغَضُوكُمْ وَطَرَدُوكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي: لِيَتَمَجَّدِ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَيَظْهَرُ لِفَرَحِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَيَخْزَوْنَ.

You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”

٦ 6 صَوْتُ ضَجِيجٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، صَوْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُجَازِيًا أَعْدَاءَهُ.

Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!

٧ 7 قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا ٱلطَّلْقُ وَلَدَتْ. قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ وَلَدَتْ ذَكَرًا.

“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.

٨ 8 مَنْ سَمِعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا؟ مَنْ رَأَى مِثْلَ هَذِهِ؟ هَلْ تَمْخَضُ بِلَادٌ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، أَوْ تُولَدُ أُمَّةٌ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ فَقَدْ مَخَضَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ، بَلْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِيهَا!

Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.

٩ 9 هَلْ أَنَا أُمْخِضُ وَلَا أُوَلِّدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَوْ أَنَا ٱلْمُوَلِّدُ هَلْ أُغْلِقُ ٱلرَّحِمَ، قَالَ إِلَهُكِ؟

Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.

١٠ 10 ٱفْرَحُوا مَعَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَٱبْتَهِجُوا مَعَهَا، يَا جَمِيعَ مُحِبِّيهَا. اِفْرَحُوا مَعَهَا فَرَحًا، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّائِحِينَ عَلَيْهَا،

Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,

١١ 11 لِكَيْ تَرْضَعُوا وَتَشْبَعُوا مِنْ ثَدْيِ تَعْزِيَاتِهَا، لِكَيْ تَعْصِرُوا وَتَتَلَذَّذُوا مِنْ دِرَّةِ مَجْدِهَا».

so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أُدِيرُ عَلَيْهَا سَلَامًا كَنَهْرٍ، وَمَجْدَ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَسَيْلٍ جَارِفٍ، فَتَرْضَعُونَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَيْدِي تُحْمَلُونَ وَعَلَى ٱلرُّكْبَتَيْنِ تُدَلَّلُونَ.

For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.

١٣ 13 كَإِنْسَانٍ تُعَزِّيهِ أُمُّهُ هَكَذَا أُعَزِّيكُمْ أَنَا، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تُعَزَّوْنَ.

As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”

١٤ 14 فَتَرَوْنَ وَتَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَتَزْهُو عِظَامُكُمْ كَٱلْعُشْبِ، وَتُعْرَفُ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عِنْدَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَيَحْنَقُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلنَّارِ يَأْتِي، وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُ كَزَوْبَعَةٍ لِيَرُدَّ بِحُمُوٍّ غَضَبَهُ، وَزَجْرَهُ بِلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

For behold, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ بِٱلنَّارِ يُعَاقِبُ وَبِسَيْفِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، وَيَكْثُرُ قَتْلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.

١٧ 17 ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَدِّسُونَ وَيُطَهِّرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي ٱلْجَنَّاتِ وَرَاءَ وَاحِدٍ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ، آكِلِينَ لَحْمَ ٱلْخِنْزِيرِ وَٱلرِّجْسَ وَٱلْجُرَذَ، يَفْنَوْنَ مَعًا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

“Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.

١٨ 18 وَأَنَا أُجَازِي أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَأَفْكَارَهُمْ. حَدَثَ لِجَمْعِ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ، فَيَأْتُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ مَجْدِي.

“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.

١٩ 19 وَأَجْعَلُ فِيهِمْ آيَةً، وَأُرْسِلُ مِنْهُمْ نَاجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ وَفُولَ وَلُودَ ٱلنَّازِعِينَ فِي ٱلْقَوْسِ، إِلَى تُوبَالَ وَيَاوَانَ، إِلَى ٱلْجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَسْمَعْ خَبَرِي وَلَا رَأَتْ مَجْدِي، فَيُخْبِرُونَ بِمَجْدِي بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.

٢٠ 20 وَيُحْضِرُونَ كُلَّ إِخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ، عَلَى خَيْلٍ وَبِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِهَوَادِجَ وَبِغَالٍ وَهُجُنٍ إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، كَمَا يُحْضِرُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَقْدِمَةً فِي إِنَاءٍ طَاهِرٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”

٢١ 21 وَأَتَّخِذُ أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ كَهَنَةً وَلَاوِيِّينَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَدِيدَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا صَانِعٌ تَثْبُتُ أَمَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَكَذَا يَثْبُتُ نَسْلُكُمْ وَٱسْمُكُمْ.

“For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.

٢٣ 23 وَيَكُونُ مِنْ هِلَالٍ إِلَى هِلَالٍ وَمِنْ سَبْتٍ إِلَى سَبْتٍ، أَنَّ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ يَأْتِي لِيَسْجُدَ أَمَامِي، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.

٢٤ 24 وَيَخْرُجُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ جُثَثَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ، لِأَنَّ دُودَهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُ وَنَارَهُمْ لَا تُطْفَأُ، وَيَكُونُونَ رَذَالَةً لِكُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ».

“As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”
