Isaiah 43

وَالآنَ هكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، خَالِقُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَجَابِلُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لاَ تَخَفْ لأَنِّي فَدَيْتُكَ. دَعَوْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ. أَنْتَ لِي.

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

إِذَا اجْتَزْتَ فِي الْمِيَاهِ فَأَنَا مَعَكَ، وَفِي الأَنْهَارِ فَلاَ تَغْمُرُكَ. إِذَا مَشَيْتَ فِي النَّارِ فَلاَ تُلْذَعُ، وَاللَّهِيبُ لاَ يُحْرِقُكَ.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُخَلِّصُكَ. جَعَلْتُ مِصْرَ فِدْيَتَكَ، كُوشَ وَسَبَا عِوَضَكَ.

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

إِذْ صِرْتَ عَزِيزًا فِي عَيْنَيَّ مُكَرَّمًا، وَأَنَا قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكَ. أُعْطِي أُنَاسًا عِوَضَكَ وَشُعُوبًا عِوَضَ نَفْسِكَ.

Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

لاَ تَخَفْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكَ. مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ آتِي بِنَسْلِكَ، وَمِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ أَجْمَعُكَ.

Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

أَقُولُ لِلشَّمَالِ: أَعْطِ، وَلِلْجَنُوبِ: لاَ تَمْنَعْ. اِيتِ بِبَنِيَّ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَبِبَنَاتِي مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ.

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

بِكُلِّ مَنْ دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي وَلِمَجْدِي خَلَقْتُهُ وَجَبَلْتُهُ وَصَنَعْتُهُ.

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

أَخْرِجِ الشَّعْبَ الأَعْمَى وَلَهُ عُيُونٌ، وَالأَصَمَّ وَلَهُ آذَانٌ.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

«اِجْتَمِعُوا يَا كُلَّ الأُمَمِ مَعًا وَلْتَلْتَئِمِ الْقَبَائِلُ. مَنْ مِنْهُمْ يُخْبِرُ بِهذَا وَيُعْلِمُنَا بِالأَوَّلِيَّاتِ؟ لِيُقَدِّمُوا شُهُودَهُمْ وَيَتَبَرَّرُوا. أَوْ لِيَسْمَعُوا فَيَقُولُوا: صِدْقٌ.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

أَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَعَبْدِي الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَتَفْهَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ. قَبْلِي لَمْ يُصَوَّرْ إِلهٌ وَبَعْدِي لاَ يَكُونُ.

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

أَنَا أَنَا الرَّبُّ، وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي مُخَلِّصٌ.

I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأَعْلَمْتُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ. وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا اللهُ.

I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

أَيْضًا مِنَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَا هُوَ، وَلاَ مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي. أَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ يَرُدُّ؟».

Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

هكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لأَجْلِكُمْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَأَلْقَيْتُ الْمَغَالِيقَ كُلَّهَا وَالْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فِي سُفُنِ تَرَنُّمِهِمْ.

Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

أَنَا الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُكُمْ، خَالِقُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَلِكُكُمْ.

I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

هكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْجَاعِلُ فِي الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا وَفِي الْمِيَاهِ الْقَوِيَّةِ مَسْلَكًا.

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

الْمُخْرِجُ الْمَرْكَبَةَ وَالْفَرَسَ، الْجَيْشَ وَالْعِزَّ. يَضْطَجِعُونَ مَعًا لاَ يَقُومُونَ. قَدْ خَمِدُوا. كَفَتِيلَةٍ انْطَفَأُوا.

Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

«لاَ تَذْكُرُوا الأَوَّلِيَّاتِ، وَالْقَدِيمَاتُ لاَ تَتَأَمَّلُوا بِهَا.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

هأَنَذَا صَانِعٌ أَمْرًا جَدِيدًا. الآنَ يَنْبُتُ. أَلاَ تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ أَجْعَلُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ طَرِيقًا، فِي الْقَفْرِ أَنْهَارًا.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

يُمَجِّدُنِي حَيَوَانُ الصَّحْرَاءِ، الذِّئَابُ وَبَنَاتُ النَّعَامِ، لأَنِّي جَعَلْتُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ مَاءً، أَنْهَارًا فِي الْقَفْرِ، لأَسْقِيَ شَعْبِي مُخْتَارِي.

The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

هذَا الشَّعْبُ جَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي. يُحَدِّثُ بِتَسْبِيحِي.

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

«وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَدْعُنِي يَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَتَّى تَتْعَبَ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ.

But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

لَمْ تُحْضِرْ لِي شَاةَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ، وَبِذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُكْرِمْنِي. لَمْ أَسْتَخْدِمْكَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَلاَ أَتْعَبْتُكَ بِلُبَانٍ.

Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

لَمْ تَشْتَرِ لِي بِفِضَّةٍ قَصَبًا، وَبِشَحْمِ ذَبَائِحِكَ لَمْ تُرْوِنِي. لكِنِ اسْتَخْدَمْتَنِي بِخَطَايَاكَ وَأَتْعَبْتَنِي بِآثَامِكَ.

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ الْمَاحِي ذُنُوبَكَ لأَجْلِ نَفْسِي، وَخَطَايَاكَ لاَ أَذْكُرُهَا».

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

«ذَكِّرْنِي فَنَتَحَاكَمَ مَعًا. حَدِّثْ لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ.

Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

أَبُوكَ الأَوَّلُ أَخْطَأَ، وَوُسَطَاؤُكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.

Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

فَدَنَّسْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْقُدْسِ، وَدَفَعْتُ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى اللَّعْنِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الشَّتَائِمِ.

Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
