إشَعْياء 65

١ 1 «قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُ ذَاتِي لِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي، وَوَجَدَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْنِي، وَقُلْتُ:’هَأَنَذَا‘لأُمَّةٍ لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِي.

“I have been inquired of by those who did not ask, I have been found by those who did not seek Me, I have said, Behold Me, behold Me, To a nation not calling on My Name.

٢ 2 بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ صَالِحٍ، تَابِعِينَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ،

I have spread out My hands all the day To an apostate people, Who are going in the way [that is] not good, After their own thoughts.

٣ 3 شَعْبٍ يُثَابِرُ عَلَى إِغَاظَتِي فِي وَجْهِي، إِذْ يُقَرِّبُ ذَبَائِحَ لأَصْنَامِهِ فِي الْحَدَائِقِ وَيُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً فَوْقَ مَذَابِحِ الطُّوبِ.

The people who are continually provoking Me to anger, To My face, Sacrificing in gardens, and making incense on the bricks:

٤ 4 يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ الْمَقَابِرِ وَيَبِيتُ اللَّيْلَ فِي أَمَاكِنَ سِرِّيَّةٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَفِي أَوَانِيهِ مَرَقُ لُحُومٍ نَجِسَةٍ.

Who are dwelling among tombs, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominations—their vessels.

٥ 5 وَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمْ لِلآخَرِ:’لَا تَقْتَرِبْ مِنِّي لِئَلَّا تُدَنِّسَنِي، لأَنِّي أَقْدَسُ مِنْكَ‘(فَيُثِيرُونَ غَيْظِي) كَدُخَانٍ فِي أَنْفِي وَنَارٍ تَتَّقِدُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

Who are saying, Keep to yourself, do not come near to me, For I have declared you unholy. These [are] smoke in My anger, A fire burning all the day.

٦ 6 انْظُرُوا قَدْ كُتِبَ أَمَامِي: لَنْ أَصْمُتَ بَلْ أُجَازِي، وَأُلْقِي فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ

Behold, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but have repaid; And I have repaid into their bosom,

٧ 7 خَطَايَاهُمْ وَخَطَايَا آبَائِهِمْ مَعاً». يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ «لأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَأَهَانُونِي عَلَى الآكَامِ، فَإِنِّي أَكِيلُ أَعْمَالَهُمُ الأُولَى وَأَطْرَحُهَا فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ».

Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “Who have made incense on the mountains, And have reproached Me on the heights, And I have measured their former work into their bosom.”

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا أَنَّ (الكَرَّامَ) لَا يَطْرَحُ العُنْقُودَ الفَاسِدَ إِذْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّ فِي عِنَبِهِ بَعْضَ الْخَمْرِ الطَيِّبِ، كَذَلِكَ لَنْ أَطْرَحَ مِنْ أَمَامِي كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِئَلَّا أَقْضِيَ عَلَى خُدَّامِي جَمِيعاً.

Thus said YHWH: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one has said, Do not destroy it for a blessing [is] in it, So I do for My servants’ sake, Not to destroy the whole.

٩ 9 بَلْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِ يَعْقُوبَ ذُرِّيَّةً، وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا وَارِثاً لِجِبَالِي، فَيَمْلِكُهَا مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُقِيمُ فِيهَا عَبِيدِي،

And I have brought out a Seed from Jacob, And from Judah a Possessor of My mountain, And My chosen ones possess it, And My servants dwell there.

١٠ 10 وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُ شَارُونَ مَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ، وَوَادِي عَخُورَ مَرْبِضَ بَقَرٍ لِشَعْبِي الَّذِي طَلَبَنِي».

And Sharon has been for the habitation of a flock, And the Valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people who have sought Me.

١١ 11 «أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ نَبَذْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَنَسِيتُمْ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسَ، وَهَيَّأْتُمْ مَذْبَحاً لإِلَهِ’الْحَظِّ‘وَمَلَأْتُمُ الْكُؤُوسَ خَمْراً مَمْزُوجَةً لإِلَهِ’الْقَدَرِ‘،

And you [are] those forsaking YHWH, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting a table in array for Gad, And who are filling a mixture for Meni.

١٢ 12 فَأجْعَلُ مَصِيرَكُمُ الْهَلاكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتَسْجُدُونَ جَمِيعاً لِذَابِحِيكُمْ لأَنَّنِي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَارْتَكَبْتُمُ الشَّرَّ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنِّي وَاخْتَرْتُمْ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ».

And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you bow down for slaughter, Because I called, and you have not answered, I have spoken, and you have not listened, And you do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا عَبِيدِي يَأْكُلُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجُوعُونَ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَظْمَأُونَ، وَيَفْرَحُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَخْزَوْنَ،

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My servants eat, and you hunger, Behold, My servants drink, and you thirst, Behold, My servants rejoice, and you are ashamed,

١٤ 14 وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ فِي غِبْطَةِ الْقَلْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ تُعْوِلُونَ مِنْ أَسَى الْقَلْبِ، وَتُوَلْوِلُونَ مِنِ انْكِسَارِ الرُّوحِ،

Behold, My servants sing from joy of heart, And you cry from pain of heart, And you howl from breaking of spirit.

١٥ 15 وَتُخْلِفُونَ اسْمَكُمْ لَعْنَةً عَلَى شِفَاهِ مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُمِيتُكُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُطْلِقُ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ اسْماً آخَرَ.

And you have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And Lord YHWH has put you to death, And He gives another name to His servants;

١٦ 16 فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، وَمَنْ يُقْسِمُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُقْسِمُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَاتِ الأُولَى قَدْ نُسِيَتْ وَاحْتَجَبَتْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ.

So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Blesses himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Swears by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from My eyes.

١٧ 17 لأَنَّنِي هَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ سَمَاوَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ الأُولَى فَلا تَعُودُ تَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالٍ

For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.

١٨ 18 إِنَّمَا افْرَحُوا وَابْتَهِجُوا إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِمَا أَنَا خَالِقُهُ، فَهَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَهْجَةً، وَشَعْبَهَا فَرَحاً.

But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, And her people a joy.

١٩ 19 وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَغْتَبِطُ بِشَعْبِي، وَلا يَعُودُ يُسْمَعُ فِيهَا صَوْتُ بُكَاءٍ أَوْ نَحِيبٍ،

And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have rejoiced in My people, And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.

٢٠ 20 وَلا يَكُونُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ طِفْلٌ لَا يَعِيشُ سِوَى أَيَّامٍ قَلائِلَ، أَوْ شَيْخٌ لَا يَسْتَوْفِي أَيَّامَهُ. وَمَنْ يَمُوتُ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ يُعْتَبَرُ فَتىً، وَمَنْ لَا يَبْلُغُهَا يَكُونُ مَلْعُوناً.

There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, And an aged man who does not complete his days, For the youth dies one hundred years old, And the sinner, one hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.

٢١ 21 يَغْرِسُ النَّاسُ كُرُومَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَ ثِمَارَهَا، وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَيُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا،

And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.

٢٢ 22 لَا يَبْنُونَ لِيَأْتِيَ آخَرُ فَيَسْكُنَ فِيهَا، وَلا يَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً لِيَجْنِيَهَا آخَرُ، لأَنَّ أَيَّامَ شَعْبِي تَكُونُ مَدِيدَةً كَأَيَّامِ الشَّجَرِ، وَيَتَمَتَّعُ مُخْتَارِيَّ بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And My chosen wear out the work of their hands.

٢٣ 23 فَهُمْ لَنْ يَتْعَبُوا بَاطِلاً وَلا تُنْجِبُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ ذُرِّيَّةَ مُبَارَكِي الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَبَارَكُ أَوْلادُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ.

They do not labor for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For they [are] the seed of the blessed of YHWH, And their offspring with them.

٢٤ 24 وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوا أَسْتَجِيبُ، وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أُنْصِتُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

And it has come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.

٢٥ 25 وَيَرْعَى الذِّئْبُ وَالْحَمَلُ مَعاً، وَيَأْكُلُ الأَسَدُ التِّبْنَ كَالْبَقَرِ، وَتَأْكُلُ الْحَيَّةُ التُّرَابَ. لَا يُؤْذُونَ وَلا يُهْلِكُونَ فِي كُلِّ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Wolf and lamb feed as one, And a lion eats straw as an ox, As for the serpent—its food [is] dust, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain,” said YHWH!
