Isaiah 42

«هُوَذَا عَبْدِي الَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي الَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْرِجُ الْحَقَّ لِلأُمَمِ.

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

لاَ يَصِيحُ وَلاَ يَرْفَعُ وَلاَ يُسْمِعُ فِي الشَّارِعِ صَوْتَهُ.

He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لاَ يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً خَامِدَةً لاَ يُطْفِئُ. إِلَى الأَمَانِ يُخْرِجُ الْحَقَّ.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

لاَ يَكِلُّ وَلاَ يَنْكَسِرُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ الْحَقَّ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ الْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ».

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

هكَذَا يَقُولُ اللهُ الرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَاشِرُهَا، بَاسِطُ الأَرْضِ وَنَتَائِجِِهَا، مُعْطِي الشَّعْبِ عَلَيْهَا نَسَمَةً، وَالسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا رُوحًا:

Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

«أَنَا الرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِالْبِرِّ، فَأُمْسِكُ بِيَدِكَ وَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُورًا لِلأُمَمِ،

I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيِ، لِتُخْرِجَ مِنَ الْحَبْسِ الْمَأْسُورِينَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ السِّجْنِ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ.

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

«أَنَا الرَّبُّ هذَا اسْمِي، وَمَجْدِي لاَ أُعْطِيهِ لآخَرَ، وَلاَ تَسْبِيحِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

هُوَذَا الأَوَّلِيَّاتُ قَدْ أَتَتْ، وَالْحَدِيثَاتُ أَنَا مُخْبِرٌ بِهَا. قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْبُتَ أُعْلِمُكُمْ بِهَا».

Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَهُ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ. أَيُّهَا الْمُنْحَدِرُونَ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَمِلْؤُهُ وَالْجَزَائِرُ وَسُكَّانُهَا،

Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

لِتَرْفَعِ الْبَرِّيَّةُ وَمُدُنُهَا صَوْتَهَا، الدِّيَارُ الَّتِي سَكَنَهَا قِيدَارُ. لِتَتَرَنَّمْ سُكَّانُ سَالِعَ. مِنْ رُؤُوسِ الْجِبَالِ لِيَهْتِفُوا.

Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

لِيُعْطُوا الرَّبَّ مَجْدًا وَيُخْبِرُوا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي الْجَزَائِرِ.

Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

الرَّبُّ كَالْجَبَّارِ يَخْرُجُ. كَرَجُلِ حُرُوبٍ يُنْهِضُ غَيْرَتَهُ. يَهْتِفُ وَيَصْرُخُ وَيَقْوَى عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

«قَدْ صَمَتُّ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ. سَكَتُّ. تَجَلَّدْتُ. كَالْوَالِدَةِ أَصِيحُ. أَنْفُخُ وَأَنَخُرُ مَعًا.

I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

أَخْرِبُ الْجِبَالَ وَالآكَامَ وَأُجَفِّفُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأَجْعَلُ الأَنْهَارَ يَبَسًا وَأُنَشِّفُ الآجَامَ،

I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

وَأُسَيِّرُ الْعُمْيَ فِي طَرِيق لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا. فِي مَسَالِكَ لَمْ يَدْرُوهَا أُمَشِّيهِمْ. أَجْعَلُ الظُّلْمَةَ أَمَامَهُمْ نُورًا، وَالْمُعْوَجَّاتِ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. هذِهِ الأُمُورُ أَفْعَلُهَا وَلاَ أَتْرُكُهُمْ.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. يَخْزَى خِزْيًا الْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى الْمَنْحُوتَاتِ، الْقَائِلُونَ لِلْمَسْبُوكَاتِ: أَنْتُنَّ آلِهَتُنَا!

They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

«أَيُّهَا الصُّمُّ اسْمَعُوا. أَيُّهَا الْعُمْيُ انْظُرُوا لِتُبْصِرُوا.

Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى إِلاَّ عَبْدِي، وَأَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي الَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى كَالْكَامِلِ، وَأَعْمَى كَعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ؟

Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?

نَاظِرٌ كَثِيرًا وَلاَ تُلاَحِظُ. مَفْتُوحُ الأُذُنَيْنِ وَلاَ يَسْمَعُ».

Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

الرَّبُّ قَدْ سُرَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ. يُعَظِّمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَيُكْرِمُهَا.

The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

وَلكِنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدِ اصْطِيدَ فِي الْحُفَرِ كُلُّهُ، وَفِي بُيُوتِ الْحُبُوسِ اخْتَبَأُوا. صَارُوا نَهْبًا وَلاَ مُنْقِذَ، وَسَلَبًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّ!».

But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هذَا؟ يَصْغَى وَيَسْمَعُ لِمَا بَعْدُ؟

Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

مَنْ دَفَعَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى السَّلَبِ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى النَّاهِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِشَرِيعَتِهِ.

Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

فَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ وَشِدَّةَ الْحَرْبِ، فَأَوْقَدَتْهُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ، وَأَحْرَقَتْهُ وَلَمْ يَضَعْ فِي قَلْبِهِ.

Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
