إِشَعْيَاءَ 46

١ 1 قَدْ جَثَا بِيلُ، ٱنْحَنَى نَبُو. صَارَتْ تَمَاثِيلُهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. مَحْمُولَاتُكُمْ مُحَمَّلَةٌ حِمْلًا لِلْمُعْيِي.

Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.

٢ 2 قَدِ ٱنْحَنَتْ. جَثَتْ مَعًا. لَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَ ٱلْحِمْلَ، وَهِيَ نَفْسُهَا قَدْ مَضَتْ فِي ٱلسَّبْيِ.

They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.

٣ 3 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ وَكُلَّ بَقِيَّةِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْمُحَمَّلِينَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، ٱلْمَحْمُولِينَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ.

“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,

٤ 4 وَإِلَى ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَإِلَى ٱلشَّيْبَةِ أَنَا أَحْمِلُ. قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، وَأَنَا أَرْفَعُ، وَأَنَا أَحْمِلُ وَأُنَجِّي.

Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.

٥ 5 بِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي وَتُسَوُّونَنِي وَتُمَثِّلُونَنِي لِنَتَشَابَهَ؟.

To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?

٦ 6 «اَلَّذِينَ يُفْرِغُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنَ ٱلْكِيسِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ بِٱلْمِيزَانِ يَزِنُونَ. يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ صَائِغًا لِيَصْنَعَهَا إِلَهًا، يَخُرُّونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ!

They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.

٧ 7 يَرْفَعُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ. يَحْمِلُونَهُ وَيَضَعُونَهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ لِيَقِفَ. مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ لَا يَبْرَحُ. يَزْعَقُ أَحَدٌ إِلَيْهِ فَلَا يُجِيبُ. مِنْ شِدَّتِهِ لَا يُخَلِّصُهُ.

They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.

٨ 8 «اُذْكُرُوا هَذَا وَكُونُوا رِجَالًا. رَدِّدُوهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُصَاةُ.

Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.

٩ 9 اُذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتِ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. ٱلْإِلَهُ وَلَيْسَ مِثْلِي.

Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.

١٠ 10 مُخْبِرٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْبَدْءِ بِٱلْأَخِيرِ، وَمُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ بِمَا لَمْ يُفْعَلْ، قَائِلًا: رَأْيِي يَقُومُ وَأَفْعَلُ كُلَّ مَسَرَّتِي.

Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.

١١ 11 دَاعٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ ٱلْكَاسِرَ، مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ رَجُلَ مَشُورَتِي. قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ فَأُجْرِيهِ. قَضَيْتُ فَأَفْعَلُهُ.

Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.

١٢ 12 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا أَشِدَّاءَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ عَنِ ٱلْبِرِّ.

Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.

١٣ 13 قَدْ قَرَّبْتُ بِرِّي، لَا يَبْعُدُ. وَخَلَاصِي لَا يَتَأَخَّرُ. وَأَجْعَلُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ خَلَاصًا، لِإِسْرَائِيلَ جَلَالِي.

I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
