Isaiah 51

«اِسْمَعُوا لِي أَيُّهَا التَّابِعُونَ الْبِرَّ الطَّالِبُونَ الرَّبَّ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى الصَّخْرِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ قُطِعْتُمْ، وَإِلَى نُقْرَةِ الْجُبِّ الَّتِي مِنْهَا حُفِرْتُمُ.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

انْظُرُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيكُمْ، وَإِلَى سَارَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتْكُمْ. لأَنِّي دَعَوْتُهُ وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ وَبَارَكْتُهُ وَأَكْثَرْتُهُ.

Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ عَزَّى صِهْيَوْنَ. عَزَّى كُلَّ خِرَبِهَا، وَيَجْعَلُ بَرِّيَّتَهَا كَعَدْنٍ، وَبَادِيَتَهَا كَجَنَّةِ الرَّبِّ. الْفَرَحُ وَالابْتِهَاجُ يُوجَدَانِ فِيهَا. الْحَمْدُ وَصَوْتُ التَّرَنُّمِ.

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

«اُنْصُتُوا إِلَيَّ يَا شَعْبِي، وَيَا أُمَّتِي اصْغِي إِلَيَّ: لأَنَّ شَرِيعَةً مِنْ عِنْدِي تَخْرُجُ، وَحَقِّي أُثَبِّتُهُ نُورًا لِلشُّعُوبِ.

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

قَرِيبٌ بِرِّي. قَدْ بَرَزَ خَلاَصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ يَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ. إِيَّايَ تَرْجُو الْجَزَائِرُ وَتَنْتَظِرُ ذِرَاعِي.

My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

«اِرْفَعُوا إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ عُيُونَكُمْ، وَانْظُرُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ. فَإِنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَالدُّخَانِ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَالأَرْضَ كَالثَّوْبِ تَبْلَى، وَسُكَّانَهَا كَالْبَعُوضِ يَمُوتُونَ. أَمَّا خَلاَصِي فَإِلَى الأَبَدِ يَكُونُ وَبِرِّي لاَ يُنْقَضُ.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

اِسْمَعُوا لِي يَا عَارِفِي الْبِرِّ، الشَّعْبَ الَّذِي شَرِيعَتِي فِي قَلْبِهِ: لاَ تَخَافُوا مِنْ تَعْيِيرِ النَّاسِ، وَمِنْ شَتَائِمِهِمْ لاَ تَرْتَاعُوا،

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

لأَنَّهُ كَالثَّوْبِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ الْعُثُّ، وَكَالصُّوفِ يَأْكُلُهُمُ السُّوسُ. أَمَّا بِرِّي فَإِلَى الأَبَدِ يَكُونُ، وَخَلاَصِي إِلَى دَوْرِ الأَدْوَارِ».

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

اِسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي! الْبَسِي قُوَّةً يَا ذِرَاعَ الرَّبِّ! اسْتَيْقِظِي كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ الْقِدَمِ، كَمَا فِي الأَدْوَارِ الْقَدِيمَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الْقَاطِعَةَ رَهَبَ، الطَّاعِنَةَ التِّنِّينَ؟

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ هِيَ الْمُنَشِّفَةَ الْبَحْرَ، مِيَاهَ الْغَمْرِ الْعَظِيمِ، الْجَاعِلَةَ أَعْمَاقَ الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقًا لِعُبُورِ الْمَفْدِيِّينَ؟

Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

وَمَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِالتَّرَنُّمِ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ. ابْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. يَهْرُبُ الْحُزْنُ وَالتَّنَهُّدُ.

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

«أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ مُعَزِّيكُمْ. مَنْ أَنْتِ حَتَّى تَخَافِي مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَمُوتُ، وَمِنِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي يُجْعَلُ كَالْعُشْبِ؟

I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

وَتَنْسَى الرَّبَّ صَانِعَكَ، بَاسِطَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسَ الأَرْضِ، وَتَفْزَعُ دَائِمًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ الْمُضَايِقِ عِنْدَمَا هَيَّأَ لِلإِهْلاَكِ. وَأَيْنَ غَضَبُ الْمُضَايِقِ؟

And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

سَرِيعًا يُطْلَقُ الْمُنْحَنِي، وَلاَ يَمُوتُ فِي الْجُبِّ وَلاَ يُعْدَمُ خُبْزُهُ.

The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

وَأَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ مُزْعِجُ الْبَحْرِ فَتَعِجُّ لُجَجُهُ. رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ اسْمُهُ.

But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.

وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَقْوَالِي فِي فَمِكَ، وَبِظِلِّ يَدِي سَتَرْتُكَ لِغَرْسِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأْسِيسِ الأَرْضِ، وَلِتَقُولَ لِصِهْيَوْنَ: أَنْتِ شَعْبِي».

And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

اِنْهَضِي، انْهَضِي! قُومِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ الَّتِي شَرِبْتِ مِنْ يَدِ الرَّبِّ كَأْسَ غَضَبِهِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ التَّرَنُّحِ شَرِبْتِ. مَصَصْتِ.

Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

لَيْسَ لَهَا مَنْ يَقُودُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَنِينَ الَّذِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُمْسِكُ بِيَدِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَنِينَ الَّذِينَ رَبَّتْهُمْ.

There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

اِثْنَانِ هُمَا مُلاَقِيَاكِ. مَنْ يَرْثِي لَكِ؟ الْخَرَابُ وَالانْسِحَاقُ وَالْجُوعُ وَالسَّيْفُ. بِمَنْ أُعَزِّيكِ؟

These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

بَنُوكِ قَدْ أَعْيَوْا. اضْطَجَعُوا فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ زُقَاق كَالْوَعْلِ فِي شَبَكَةٍ. الْمَلآنُونَ مِنْ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ، مِنْ زَجْرَةِ إِلهِكِ.

Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

لِذلِكَ اسْمَعِي هذَا أَيَّتُهَا الْبَائِسَةُ وَالسَّكْرَى وَلَيْسَ بِالْخَمْرِ.

Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

هكَذَا قَالَ سَيِّدُكِ الرَّبُّ، وَإِلهُكِ الَّذِي يُحَاكِمُ لِشَعْبِهِ: «هأَنَذَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ يَدِكِ كَأْسَ التَّرَنُّحِ، ثُفْلَ كَأْسِ غَضَبِي. لاَ تَعُودِينَ تَشْرَبِينَهَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

وَأَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ مُعَذِّبِيكِ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا لِنَفْسِكِ: انْحَنِي لِنَعْبُرَ. فَوَضَعْتِ كَالأَرْضِ ظَهْرَكِ وَكَالزُّقَاقِ لِلْعَابِرِينَ».

But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
