| 1 رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، الَّتِي رَآهَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحِزْقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا: | 1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. |

| 2 اِسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ: «رَبَّيْتُ بَنِينَ وَنَشَّأْتُهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْا عَلَيَّ. | 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. |
|

|
|
| 3 اَلثَّوْرُ يَعْرِفُ قَانِيَهُ وَالْحِمَارُ مِعْلَفَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَلاَ يَعْرِفُ. شَعْبِي لاَ يَفْهَمُ». | 3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. |
|
|
|
| 4 وَيْلٌ لِلأُمَّةِ الْخَاطِئَةِ، الشَّعْبِ الثَّقِيلِ الإِثْمِ، نَسْلِ فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، أَوْلاَدِ مُفْسِدِينَ! تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ، اسْتَهَانُوا بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ارْتَدُّوا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ. | 4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. |
|
|
|
|
| 5 عَلَى مَ تُضْرَبُونَ بَعْدُ؟ تَزْدَادُونَ زَيَغَانًا! كُلُّ الرَّأْسِ مَرِيضٌ، وَكُلُّ الْقَلْبِ سَقِيمٌ. | 5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. |
|
|
|
6 مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الْقَدَمِ إِلَى الرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ صِحَّةٌ، بَلْ جُرْحٌ وَأَحْبَاطٌ وَضَرْبَةٌ طَرِيَّةٌ لَمْ تُعْصَرْ وَلَمْ تُعْصَبْ وَلَمْ تُلَيَّنْ بِالزَّيْتِ.  | 6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. |
|
|
| 7 بِلاَدُكُمْ خَرِبَةٌ. مُدُنُكُمْ مُحْرَقَةٌ بِالنَّارِ. أَرْضُكُمْ تَأْكُلُهَا غُرَبَاءُ قُدَّامَكُمْ، وَهِيَ خَرِبَةٌ كَانْقِلاَبِ الْغُرَبَاءِ. | 7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 8 فَبَقِيَتِ ابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ كَمِظَلَّةٍ فِي كَرْمٍ، كَخَيْمَةٍ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ، كَمَدِينَةٍ مُحَاصَرَةٍ. | 8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. |
|
|
| 9 لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ أَبْقَى لَنَا بَقِيَّةً صَغِيرَةً، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ. | 9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. |
|
|
| 10 اِسْمَعُوا كَلاَمَ الرَّبِّ يَا قُضَاةَ سَدُومَ! أَصْغُوا إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ إِلهِنَا يَا شَعْبَ عَمُورَةَ: | 10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 11 «لِمَاذَا لِي كَثْرَةُ ذَبَائِحِكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. اتَّخَمْتُ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ كِبَاشٍ وَشَحْمِ مُسَمَّنَاتٍ، وَبِدَمِ عُجُول وَخِرْفَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ مَا أُسَرُّ. | 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. |
|
|
|
| 12 حِينَمَا تَأْتُونَ لِتَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي، مَنْ طَلَبَ هذَا مِنْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْ تَدُوسُوا دُورِي؟ | 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? |
|
|
|
| 13 لاَ تَعُودُوا تَأْتُونَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. الْبَخُورُ هُوَ مَكْرَهَةٌ لِي. رَأْسُ الشَّهْرِ وَالسَّبْتُ وَنِدَاءُ الْمَحْفَلِ. لَسْتُ أُطِيقُ الإِثْمَ وَالاعْتِكَافَ. | 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. |
|
|
|
| 14 رُؤُوسُ شُهُورِكُمْ وَأَعْيَادُكُمْ بَغَضَتْهَا نَفْسِي. صَارَتْ عَلَيَّ ثِقْلاً. مَلِلْتُ حَمْلَهَا. | 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. |
|
|
| 15 فَحِينَ تَبْسُطُونَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ أَسْتُرُ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتُمُ الصَّلاَةَ لاَ أَسْمَعُ. أَيْدِيكُمْ مَلآنَةٌ دَمًا. | 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. |
|
|
|
| 16 اِغْتَسِلُوا. تَنَقَّوْا. اعْزِلُوا شَرَّ أَفْعَالِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. كُفُّوا عَنْ فِعْلِ الشَّرِّ. | 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17 تَعَلَّمُوا فَعْلَ الْخَيْرِ. اطْلُبُوا الْحَقَّ. انْصِفُوا الْمَظْلُومَ. اقْضُوا لِلْيَتِيمِ. حَامُوا عَنِ الأَرْمَلَةِ. | 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. |
|
|
|
| 18 هَلُمَّ نَتَحَاجَجْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. إِنْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاكُمْ كَالْقِرْمِزِ تَبْيَضُّ كَالثَّلْجِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ حَمْرَاءَ كَالدُّودِيِّ تَصِيرُ كَالصُّوفِ. | 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. |
|
|
|
|
| 19 إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَسَمِعْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ خَيْرَ الأَرْضِ. | 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: |
|
|
|
| 20 وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ تُؤْكَلُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ». لأَنَّ فَمَ الرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ. | 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. |
|
|
| 21 كَيْفَ صَارَتِ الْقَرْيَةُ الأَمِينَةُ زَانِيَةً! مَلآنَةً حَقًّا. كَانَ الْعَدْلُ يَبِيتُ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَالْقَاتِلُونَ. | 21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 22 صَارَتْ فِضَّتُكِ زَغَلاً وَخَمْرُكِ مَغْشُوشَةً بِمَاءٍ. | 22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: |
|
|
|
| 23 رُؤَسَاؤُكِ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ وَلُغَفَاءُ اللُّصُوصِ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يُحِبُّ الرَّشْوَةَ وَيَتْبَعُ الْعَطَايَا. لاَ يَقْضُونَ لِلْيَتِيمِ، وَدَعْوَى الأَرْمَلَةِ لاَ تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ. | 23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. |
|
|
|
| 24 لِذلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ عَزِيزُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «آهِ! إِنِّي أَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ خُصَمَائِي وَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، | 24 Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: |
|
|
|
|
| 25 وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأُنَقِّي زَغَلَكِ كَأَنَّهُ بِالْبَوْرَقِ، وَأَنْزِعُ كُلَّ قَصْدِيرِكِ، | 25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: |
|
|
|
| 26 وَأُعِيدُ قُضَاتَكِ كَمَا فِي الأَوَّلِ، وَمُشِيرِيكِ كَمَا فِي الْبَدَاءَةِ. بَعْدَ ذلِكَ تُدْعَيْنَ مَدِينَةَ الْعَدْلِ، الْقَرْيَةَ الأَمِينَةَ». | 26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. |
|
|
|
| 27 صِهْيَوْنُ تُفْدَى بِالْحَقِّ، وَتَائِبُوهَا بِالْبِرِّ. | 27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. |
|
|
|
| 28 وَهَلاَكُ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَالْخُطَاةِ يَكُونُ سَوَاءً، وَتَارِكُو الرَّبِّ يَفْنَوْنَ. | 28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. |
|
|
|
| 29 لأَنَّهُمْ يَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ الْبُطْمِ الَّتِي اشْتَهَيْتُمُوهَا، وَتُخْزَوْنَ مِنَ الْجَنَّاتِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُمُوهَا. | 29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. |
|
|
|
| 30 لأَنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ كَبُطْمَةٍ قَدْ ذَبُلَ وَرَقُهَا، وَكَجَنَّةٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَاءٌ. | 30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. |
|
|
|
| 31 وَيَصِيرُ الْقَوِيُّ مَشَاقَةً وَعَمَلُهُ شَرَارًا، فَيَحْتَرِقَانِ كِلاَهُمَا مَعًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُطْفِئُ. | 31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them. |
