Isaiah 45

1 This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:

1 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ لِكُورَشَ مُخْتَارِهِ، الَّذِي أَخَذْتُ بِيَمِينِهِ حَتَّى أُخْضِعَ أَمَامَهُ أُمَماً وَأَكْسِرَ شَوْكَةَ مُلُوكٍ، لأَفْتَحَ أَمَامَهُ كُوَّاتٍ وَلا تُوْصَدُ فِي وَجْهِهِ مَصَارِيعُ.

2 “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

2 هَا أَنَا أَتَقَدَّمُكَ لأُسَوِّيَ الْجِبَالَ بِالأَرْضِ وَأُحَطِّمَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَأُكَسِّرَ مَغَالِيقَ الْحَدِيدِ،

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

3 وَأَهَبَكَ كُنُوزَ الأَقْبِيَةِ الْمُظْلِمَةِ وَذَخَائِرَ الْمَخَابِئِ، لِتَعْرِفَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي دَعَاكَ بِاسْمِكَ.

4 For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.

4 لأَجْلِ عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ مُخْتَارِي دَعَوْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ، لَقَّبْتُكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَعْرِفَنِي.

5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

5 أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي. لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ، شَدَّدْتُكَ مَعَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَعْرِفْنِي.

6 so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

6 حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ النَّاسُ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ وَمِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.

7 I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

7 أَنَا مُبْدِعُ النُّورِ وَخَالِقُ الظُّلْمَةِ، أَنَا صَانِعُ الْخَيْرِ وَخَالِقُ الضُّرِّ، أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ فَاعِلُ كُلِّ هَذِهِ.

8 Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

8 اهْطِلِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَأَمْطِرِي يَا غُيُومُ بِرّاً، لِتَنْفَتِحِ الأَرضُ حَتَّى يُثْمِرَ الْخَلاصُ، وَيَنْبُتَ الْبِرُّ. أَنَا خَلَقْتُهُ.

9 Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker—one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?

9 وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يُخَاصِمُ صَانِعَهُ وَهُوَ لَيْسَ سِوَى قِطْعَةِ خَزَفٍ مِنْ خَزَفِ الأَرْضِ. أَيَقُولُ الطِّينُ لِجَابِلِهِ: مَاذَا تَصْنَعُ؟ أَوْ إِنَّ مَا عَمِلْتَهُ تَنْقُصُهُ يَدَانِ؟

10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”

10 وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَقُولُ لِوَالِدٍ: مَاذَا أَنْجَبْتَ؟ أَوْ لأُمٍّ: بِمَاذَا تَتَمَخَّضِينَ؟

11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?

11 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَانِعُهُ: أَتَسْأَلُونَنِي فِي سِيَاقِ الأَحْدَاثِ الآتِيَةِ عَنْ أَبْنَائِي، أَمْ تُوصُونَنِي بِعَمَلِ يَدِي؟

12 It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.

12 لَقَدْ صَنَعْتُ الأَرْضَ وَخَلَقْتُ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَيْهَا، وَيَدَايَ هُمَا اللَّتَانِ بَسَطَتَا السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأَنَا أَمَرْتُ كَوَاكِبَهَا.

13 I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”

13 أَنَا أَقَمْتُ كُورُشَ لِيُجْرِيَ الْعَدْلَ، وَأَنَا أُمَهِّدُ طُرُقَهُ كُلَّهَا، فَيَبْنِي مَدِينَتِي وَيُطْلِقُ سَرَاحَ أَسْرَاي، لَا بِثَمَنٍ وَلا لِقَاءَ مُكَافَأَةٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

14 This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

14 يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: يَأْتِي إِلَيْكُمُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَالْكُوشِيُّونَ وَالسَّبَئِيُّونَ بِكُلِّ مَا يَمْلِكُونَهُ مِنْ ثَرْوَاتٍ، وَيَضَعُونَهَا عِنْدَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، وَيَصِيرُونَ رَعَايَاكُمْ، يَمْشُونَ خَلْفَكُمْ مُصَفَّدِينَ بِالأَغْلالِ، وَيَخُرُّونَ سَاجِدِينَ أَمَامَكُمْ قَائِلِينَ: حَقّاً إنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَكُمْ ولا إِلَهَ سِوَى إِلَهِكُمْ. هُوَ وَحْدَهُ الإِلَهُ لَا غَيْرَهُ.

15 Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

15 حَقّاً أَنْتَ هُوَ إِلَهٌ يَحْجِبُ نَفْسَهُ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُخَلِّصُ.

16 They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.

16 لَقَدْ خَزُوا وَخَجِلُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ، وَمَضَى صَانِعُو الأَصْنَامِ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَ أَذْيَالَ الْعَارِ.

17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

17 أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَقَدْ خَلَّصَهُ الرَّبُّ بِخَلاصٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، وَلَنْ يَلْحَقَكُمْ عَارٌ أَوْ خِزْيٌ مَدَى الدُّهُورِ،

18 For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

18 لأَنَّ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، إِنَّهُ اللهُ مَكَوِّنُ الأَرْضِ وَصَانِعُهَا، وَمُرْسِي قَوَاعِدِهَا: لَمْ يَخْلُقْهَا لِتَكُونَ خَوَاءً، بَلْ لِتُصْبِحَ آهِلَةً بِسُكَّانِهَا. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.

19 I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.

19 لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ خِفْيَةً بِكَلامِي فِي أَرْضِ الْظُّلْمَةِ، وَلَمْ أَطْلُبْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَلْتَمِسُونِي بَاطِلاً. أَنَا الرَّبُّ النَّاطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ، أُعْلِنُ مَا هُوَ صِدْقٌ.

20 Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.

20 اجْتَمِعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا. اقْتَرِبُوا مَعاً أَيُّهَا النَّاجُونَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ، فَإِنَّ الْجُهَّالَ وَحْدَهُمْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الأَصْنَامَ الْخَشَبِيَّةَ وَيُوَاظِبُونَ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ لإِلَهٍ لَا يُخَلِّصُ.

21 Speak up and present your case—yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.

21 أَعْلِنُوا، وَاعْرِضُوا دَعْوَاكُمْ. لِيَتَشَاوَرُوا مَعاً. مَنْ أَنْبَأَ بِهَذَا مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَمَنْ أَخْبَرَ بِهِ مِنْ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا الرَّبُّ وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرِي؟ بَارٌّ وَمُخَلِّصٌ، وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.

22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

22 الْتَفِتُوا إِلَيَّ وَاخْلُصُوا يَا جَمِيعَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، لأَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ وَلَيسَ هُنَاكَ آخَرُ.

23 By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.

23 لَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِذَاتِي، وَخَرَجَتْ مِنْ فَمِي، بِكُلِّ صِدْقٍ، كَلِمَةٌ لَا تُنْقَضُ: إِنَّهُ سَتَجْثُو لِي كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ وَيُقْسِمُ بِي كُلُّ لِسَانٍ.

24 Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.

24 وَيَقُولُونَ عَنِّي: إِنَّمَا بِالرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ الْبِرُّ وَالْقُوَّةُ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَغْتَاظُ مِنْه يَأْتِي إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَيَخْزَى.

25 In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.

25 أَمَّا ذُرِّيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَبِالرَّبِّ يَتَبَرَّرُونَ وَبِهِ يَزْهُونَ.
