إِشَعْيَاءَ 51

١ 1 «اِسْمَعُوا لِي أَيُّهَا ٱلتَّابِعُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ ٱلطَّالِبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ: ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْهُ قُطِعْتُمْ، وَإِلَى نُقْرَةِ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا حُفِرْتُمُ.

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look at the rock from which you were chiseled and to the quarry from which you were cut.

٢ 2 ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ، وَإِلَى سَارَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُهُ وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

Look at Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you; for when he was a lone individual, I called him. I blessed him and made him many.

٣ 3 فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى صِهْيَوْنَ. عَزَّى كُلَّ خِرَبِهَا، وَيَجْعَلُ بَرِّيَّتَهَا كَعَدْنٍ، وَبَادِيَتَهَا كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلِٱبْتِهَاجُ يُوجَدَانِ فِيهَا. ٱلْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ ٱلتَّرَنُّمِ.

Yes, Yahweh will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; her wilderness he made like Eden, and her desert plains beside the Jordan River valley like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving, and the sound of singing.

٤ 4 «اُنْصُتُوا إِلَيَّ يَا شَعْبِي، وَيَا أُمَّتِي ٱصْغِي إِلَيَّ: لِأَنَّ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ عِنْدِي تَخْرُجُ، وَحَقِّي أُثَبِّتُهُ نُورًا لِلشُّعُوبِ.

“Be attentive to me, my people; and listen to me, my people! For I will issue a decree, and I will make my justice to be a light for the nations.

٥ 5 قَرِيبٌ بِرِّي. قَدْ بَرَزَ خَلَاصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ يَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ. إِيَّايَ تَرْجُو ٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَتَنْتَظِرُ ذِرَاعِي.

My righteousness is near; my salvation will go out, and my arm will judge the nations; the coastlands will wait for me; for my arm they will eagerly wait.

٦ 6 «اِرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ عُيُونَكُمْ، وَٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتَ. فَإِنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَٱلدُّخَانِ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَٱلثَّوْبِ تَبْلَى، وَسُكَّانَهَا كَٱلْبَعُوضِ يَمُوتُونَ. أَمَّا خَلَاصِي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ وَبِرِّي لَا يُنْقَضُ.

Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look at the earth beneath, for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die like flies. But my salvation will continue forever, and my righteousness will never stop working.

٧ 7 اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا عَارِفِي ٱلْبِرِّ، ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قَلْبِهِ: لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ تَعْيِيرِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ لَا تَرْتَاعُوا،

Listen to me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your heart: Do not fear the insults of men, nor be disheartened by their abuse.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّهُ كَٱلثَّوْبِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلْعُثُّ، وَكَالصُّوفِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ ٱلسُّوسُ. أَمَّا بِرِّي فَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ، وَخَلَاصِي إِلَى دَوْرِ ٱلْأَدْوَارِ».

For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”

٩ 9 اِسْتَيْقِظِي، ٱسْتَيْقِظِي! ٱلْبَسِي قُوَّةً يَا ذِرَاعَ ٱلرَّبِّ! ٱسْتَيْقِظِي كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَدْوَارِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ ٱلْقَاطِعَةَ رَهَبَ، ٱلطَّاعِنَةَ ٱلتِّنِّينَ؟

Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, arm of Yahweh. Awake as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not you who crushed Rahab, you who pierced the monster?

١٠ 10 أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ هِيَ ٱلْمُنَشِّفَةَ ٱلْبَحْرَ، مِيَاهَ ٱلْغَمْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، ٱلْجَاعِلَةَ أَعْمَاقَ ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا لِعُبُورِ ٱلْمَفْدِيِّينَ؟

Did you not dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep, and make the depths of the sea into a way for the redeemed to pass through?

١١ 11 وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱلتَّرَنُّمِ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. يَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ.

The ransomed of Yahweh will return and come to Zion with cries of joy and with gladness forever on their heads; and gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and mourning will flee away.

١٢ 12 «أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ. مَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخَافِي مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَمُوتُ، وَمِنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يُجْعَلُ كَٱلْعُشْبِ؟

“I, I, am he who comforts you. Why are you afraid of men, who will die, the sons of mankind, who are made like grass?

١٣ 13 وَتَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ صَانِعَكَ، بَاسِطَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَفْزَعُ دَائِمًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ عِنْدَمَا هَيَّأَ لِلْإِهْلَاكِ. وَأَيْنَ غَضَبُ ٱلْمُضَايِقِ؟

Why have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth? You are in constant dread every day because of the hot fury of the oppressor when he decides to destroy. Where is the fury of the oppressor?

١٤ 14 سَرِيعًا يُطْلَقُ ٱلْمُنْحَنِي، وَلَا يَمُوتُ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ وَلَا يُعْدَمُ خُبْزُهُ.

The one who is bent down, Yahweh will hurry to release; he will not die and go down to the pit, nor will he lack bread.

١٥ 15 وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرِ فَتَعِجُّ لُجَجُهُ. رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

For I am Yahweh your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name.

١٦ 16 وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَقْوَالِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَبِظِلِّ يَدِي سَتَرْتُكَ لِغَرْسِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأْسِيسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلِتَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي».

I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are my people.'”

١٧ 17 اِنْهَضِي، ٱنْهَضِي! قُومِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلَّتِي شَرِبْتِ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ شَرِبْتِ. مَصَصْتِ.

Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk out of the hand of Yahweh from the bowl of his anger; you who have drunk out of the bowl, down to the dregs from the cup of staggering.

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ لَهَا مَنْ يَقُودُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُمْسِكُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

There is no one among all the sons she has born to guide her; there is no one among all the sons that she has raised to take her by the hand.

١٩ 19 اِثْنَانِ هُمَا مُلَاقِيَاكِ. مَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ؟ ٱلْخَرَابُ وَالِٱنْسِحَاقُ وَٱلْجُوعُ وَٱلسَّيْفُ. بِمَنْ أُعَزِّيكِ؟

These two troubles happened to you—who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will comfort you?

٢٠ 20 بَنُوكِ قَدْ أَعْيَوْا. ٱضْطَجَعُوا فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ زُقَاقٍ كَٱلْوَعْلِ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. ٱلْمَلآنُونَ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ زَجْرَةِ إِلَهِكِ.

Your sons have fainted; they lie at every street corner, like an antelope in a net; they are filled with the anger of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.

٢١ 21 لِذَلِكَ ٱسْمَعِي هَذَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبَائِسَةُ وَٱلسَّكْرَى وَلَيْسَ بِٱلْخَمْرِ.

But now hear this, you oppressed one and drunken one, but not drunk with wine:

٢٢ 22 هَكَذَا قَالَ سَيِّدُكِ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَهُكِ ٱلَّذِي يُحَاكِمُ لِشَعْبِهِ: «هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي. لَا تَعُودِينَ تَشْرَبِينَهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

Your Lord Yahweh, your God, who pleads the cause of his people, says this, “See, I have taken the cup of staggering from your hand— the bowl, which is the cup of my anger—so that you will not drink it again.

٢٣ 23 وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا لِنَفْسِكِ: ٱنْحَنِي لِنَعْبُرَ. فَوَضَعْتِ كَٱلْأَرْضِ ظَهْرَكِ وَكَالزُّقَاقِ لِلْعَابِرِينَ».

I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, those who have said to you, 'Lie down, that we may walk over you'; you made your back like the ground and like the street for them to walk on.”
