إِشَعْيَاءَ 59

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

Look, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it can't save; neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear:

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

but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

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

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.

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

None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

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

They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

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

Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act 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 are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; destruction and calamity are in their paths.

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

The way of peace they do not know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes in it does not know peace.

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

Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, look, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

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

We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as dead men.

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

We roar all like bears, and moan bitterly like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

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

For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:

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

transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, 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.

Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.

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

Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.

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

He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.

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

He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

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

According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.

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

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of the LORD drives.

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

"A Redeemer will come from Zion, and he will turn away transgression from Jacob," says the LORD.

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.

"As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your children, nor out of the mouth of your children's children," says the LORD, "from now on and forever."
