Isaiah 42

1 “Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations.

1 «هُوَذَا عَبْدِي ٱلَّذِي أَعْضُدُهُ، مُخْتَارِي ٱلَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ نَفْسِي. وَضَعْتُ رُوحِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلْأُمَمِ.

2 He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the streets.

2 لَا يَصِيحُ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ وَلَا يُسْمِعُ فِي ٱلشَّارِعِ صَوْتَهُ.

3 A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice.

3 قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لَا يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً خَامِدَةً لَا يُطْفِئُ. إِلَى ٱلْأَمَانِ يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَقَّ.

4 He will not grow weak or discouraged before He has established justice on the earth. In His law the islands will put their hope.”

4 لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَنْكَسِرُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَنْتَظِرُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ شَرِيعَتَهُ».

5 This is what God the LORD says—He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it:

5 هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱللهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَاشِرُهَا، بَاسِطُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَتَائِجِهَا، مُعْطِي ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَيْهَا نَسَمَةً، وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا رُوحًا:

6 “I, the LORD, have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations,

6 «أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِٱلْبِرِّ، فَأُمْسِكُ بِيَدِكَ وَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ وَنُورًا لِلْأُمَمِ،

7 to open the eyes of the blind, to bring prisoners out of the dungeon and those sitting in darkness out from the prison house.

7 لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ ٱلْعُمْيِ، لِتُخْرِجَ مِنَ ٱلْحَبْسِ ٱلْمَأْسُورِينَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

8 I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols.

8 «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱسْمِي، وَمَجْدِي لَا أُعْطِيهِ لِآخَرَ، وَلَا تَسْبِيحِي لِلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ.

9 Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

9 هُوَذَا ٱلْأَوَّلِيَّاتُ قَدْ أَتَتْ، وَٱلْحَدِيثَاتُ أَنَا مُخْبِرٌ بِهَا. قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْبُتَ أُعْلِمُكُمْ بِهَا».

10 Sing to the LORD a new song—His praise from the ends of the earth—you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who dwell in them.

10 غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ أُغْنِيَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَهُ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُنْحَدِرُونَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ وَمِلْؤُهُ وَٱلْجَزَائِرُ وَسُكَّانُهَا،

11 Let the desert and its cities raise their voices; let the villages of Kedar cry aloud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops.

11 لِتَرْفَعِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَمُدُنُهَا صَوْتَهَا، ٱلدِّيَارُ ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَهَا قِيدَارُ. لِتَتَرَنَّمْ سُكَّانُ سَالِعَ. مِنْ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ لِيَهْتِفُوا.

12 Let them give glory to the LORD and declare His praise in the islands.

12 لِيُعْطُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَجْدًا وَيُخْبِرُوا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي ٱلْجَزَائِرِ.

13 The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a warrior. He shouts; yes, He roars in triumph over His enemies:

13 ٱلرَّبُّ كَٱلْجَبَّارِ يَخْرُجُ. كَرَجُلِ حُرُوبٍ يُنْهِضُ غَيْرَتَهُ. يَهْتِفُ وَيَصْرُخُ وَيَقْوَى عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

14 “I have kept silent from ages past; I have remained quiet and restrained. But now I will groan like a woman in labor; I will at once gasp and pant.

14 «قَدْ صَمَتُّ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ. سَكَتُّ. تَجَلَّدْتُ. كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ أَصِيحُ. أَنْفُخُ وَأَنَخُرُ مَعًا.

15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn the rivers into dry land and drain the marshes.

15 أَخْرِبُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَٱلْآكَامَ وَأُجَفِّفُ كُلَّ عُشْبِهَا، وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ يَبَسًا وَأُنَشِّفُ ٱلْآجَامَ،

16 I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.

16 وَأُسَيِّرُ ٱلْعُمْيَ فِي طَرِيقٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا. فِي مَسَالِكَ لَمْ يَدْرُوهَا أُمَشِّيهِمْ. أَجْعَلُ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ أَمَامَهُمْ نُورًا، وَٱلْمُعْوَجَّاتِ مُسْتَقِيمَةً. هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ أَفْعَلُهَا وَلَاأَتْرُكُهُمْ.

17 But those who trust in idols and say to molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame.

17 قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. يَخْزَى خِزْيًا ٱلْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمَنْحُوتَاتِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ لِلْمَسْبُوكَاتِ: أَنْتُنَّ آلِهَتُنَا!

18 Listen, you deaf ones; look, you blind ones, that you may see!

18 «أَيُّهَا ٱلصُّمُّ ٱسْمَعُوا. أَيُّهَا ٱلْعُمْيُ ٱنْظُرُوا لِتُبْصِرُوا.

19 Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?

19 مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى إِلَّا عَبْدِي، وَأَصَمُّ كَرَسُولِي ٱلَّذِي أُرْسِلُهُ؟ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى كَٱلْكَامِلِ، وَأَعْمَى كَعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟

20 Though seeing many things, you do not keep watch. Though your ears are open, you do not hear.”

20 نَاظِرٌ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تُلَاحِظُ. مَفْتُوحُ ٱلْأُذُنَيْنِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ».

21 The LORD was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to magnify His law and make it glorious.

21 ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ سُرَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرِّهِ. يُعَظِّمُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ وَيُكْرِمُهَا.

22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all trapped in caves or imprisoned in dungeons. They have become plunder with no one to rescue them, and loot with no one to say, “Send them back!”

22 وَلَكِنَّهُ شَعْبٌ مَنْهُوبٌ وَمَسْلُوبٌ. قَدِ ٱصْطِيدَ فِي ٱلْحُفَرِ كُلُّهُ، وَفِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْحُبُوسِ ٱخْتَبَأُوا. صَارُوا نَهْبًا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ، وَسَلَبًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَقُولُ: «رُدَّ!».

23 Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will listen and obey hereafter?

23 مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا؟ يَصْغَى وَيَسْمَعُ لِمَا بَعْدُ؟

24 Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned? They were unwilling to walk in His ways, and they would not obey His law.

24 مَنْ دَفَعَ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱلسَّلَبِ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ؟ أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِشَرِيعَتِهِ.

25 So He poured out on them His furious anger and the fierceness of battle. It enveloped them in flames, but they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.

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