Isaiah 59

هَا إِنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ لَمْ تَقْصُرْ عَنْ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ، وَلَمْ تَثْقَلْ أُذُنُهُ عَنْ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ.

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

بَلْ آثَامُكُمْ صَارَتْ فَاصِلَةً بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ إِلهِكُمْ، وَخَطَايَاكُمْ سَتَرَتْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

لأَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ بِالدَّمِ، وَأَصَابِعَكُمْ بِالإِثْمِ. شِفَاهُكُمْ تَكَلَّمَتْ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانُكُمْ يَلْهَجُ بِالشَّرِّ.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

لَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِالْعَدْلِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُحَاكِمُ بِالْحَقِّ. يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ. قَدْ حَبِلُوا بِتَعَبٍ، وَوَلَدُوا إِثْمًا.

None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

فَقَسُوا بَيْضَ أَفْعَى، وَنَسَجُوا خُيُوطَ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ. الآكِلُ مِنْ بَيْضِهِمْ يَمُوتُ، وَالَّتِي تُكْسَرُ تُخْرِجُ أَفْعَى.

They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

خُيُوطُهُمْ لاَ تَصِيرُ ثَوْبًا، وَلاَ يَكْتَسُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْمَالُهُمْ أَعْمَالُ إِثْمٍ، وَفَعْلُ الظُّلْمِ 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.

أَرْجُلُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّرِّ تَجْرِي، وَتُسْرِعُ إِلَى سَفْكِ الدَّمِ الزَّكِيِّ. أَفْكَارُهُمْ أَفْكَارُ إِثْمٍ. فِي طُرُقِهِمِ اغْتِصَابٌ وَسَحْقٌ.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

طَرِيقُ السَّلاَمِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي مَسَالِكِهِمْ عَدْلٌ. جَعَلُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ سُبُلاً مُعْوَجَّةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسِيرُ فِيهَا لاَ يَعْرِفُ سَلاَمًا.

The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ ابْتَعَدَ الْحَقُّ عَنَّا، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْنَا الْعَدْلُ. نَنْتَظِرُ نُورًا فَإِذَا ظَلاَمٌ. ضِيَاءً فَنَسِيرُ فِي ظَلاَمٍ دَامِسٍ.

Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

نَتَلَمَّسُ الْحَائِطَ كَعُمْيٍ، وَكَالَّذِي بِلاَ أَعْيُنٍ نَتَجَسَّسُ. قَدْ عَثَرْنَا فِي الظُّهْرِ كَمَا فِي الْعَتَمَةِ، فِي الضَّبَابِ كَمَوْتَى.

We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

نَزْأَرُ كُلُّنَا كَدُبَّةٍ، وَكَحَمَامٍ هَدْرًا نَهْدِرُ. نَنْتَظِرُ عَدْلاً وَلَيْسَ هُوَ، وَخَلاَصًا فَيَبْتَعِدُ عَنَّا.

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

لأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ أَمَامَكَ، وَخَطَايَانَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا، لأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا مَعَنَا، وَآثَامَنَا نَعْرِفُهَا.

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

تَعَدَّيْنَا وَكَذِبْنَا عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَحِدْنَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ إِلهِنَا. تَكَلَّمْنَا بِالظُّلْمِ وَالْمَعْصِيَةِ. حَبِلْنَا وَلَهَجْنَا مِنَ الْقَلْبِ بِكَلاَمِ الْكَذِبِ.

In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

وَقَدِ ارْتَدَّ الْحَقُّ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، وَالْعَدْلُ يَقِفُ بَعِيدًا. لأَنَّ الصِّدْقَ سَقَطَ فِي الشَّارِعِ، وَالاسْتِقَامَةَ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُ الدُّخُولَ.

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

وَصَارَ الصِّدْقُ مَعْدُومًا، وَالْحَائِدُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ يُسْلَبُ. فَرَأَى الرَّبُّ وَسَاءَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَدْلٌ.

Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

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

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

فَلَبِسَ الْبِرَّ كَدِرْعٍ، وَخُوذَةَ الْخَلاَصِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابَ الانْتِقَامِ كَلِبَاسٍ، وَاكْتَسَى بِالْغَيْرَةِ كَرِدَاءٍ.

For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.

حَسَبَ الأَعْمَالِ هكَذَا يُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيهِ سَخَطًا، وَأَعْدَاءَهُ عِقَابًا. جَزَاءً يُجَازِي الْجَزَائِرَ.

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

فَيَخَافُونَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ، وَمِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ مَجْدَهُ. عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي الْعَدُوُّ كَنَهْرٍ فَنَفْخَةُ الرَّبِّ تَدْفَعُهُ.

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

«وَيَأْتِي الْفَادِي إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَإِلَى التَّائِبِينَ عَنِ الْمَعْصِيَةِ فِي يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

أَمَّا أَنَا فَهذَا عَهْدِي مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ: رُوحِي الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ، وَكَلاَمِي الَّذِي وَضَعْتُهُ فِي فَمِكَ لاَ يَزُولُ مِنْ فَمِكَ، وَلاَ مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِكَ، وَلاَ مِنْ فَمِ نَسْلِ نَسْلِكَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ، مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
