Isaiah 55

1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!

1 تَعَالَوْا أَيُّهَا الْعِطَاشُ جَمِيعاً إِلَى الْمِيَاهِ، وَهَلُمُّوا أَيُّهَا الْمُعْدَمُونَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، ابْتَاعُوا وَكُلُوا، ابْتَاعُوا خَمْراً وَلَبَناً مَجَّاناً مِنْ غَيْرِ فِضَّةٍ.

2 Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.

2 لِمَاذَا تُنْفِقُونَ الْفِضَّةَ عَلَى مَا لَيْسَ بِخُبْزٍ، وَتَتْعَبُونَ لِغَيْرِ شَبَعٍ؟ أَحْسِنُوا الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيَّ، وَكُلُوا الشَّهِيَّ وَلْتَتَمَتَّعْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ بِالدَّسَمِ.

3 Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant—My loving devotion promised to David.

3 أَرْهِفُوا السَّمْعَ وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ؛ أَصْغُوا فَتَحْيَا نُفُوسُكُمْ، وَأُعَاهِدَكُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا، هِيَ مَرَاحِمُ دَاوُدَ الثَّابِتَةُ الأَمِينَةُ

4 Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.

4 هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ شَاهِداً لِلشُّعُوبِ زَعِيماً وَقَائِداً لِلأُمَمِ.

5 Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”

5 انْظُرْ، إِنَّكَ تَدْعُو أُمَماً لَا تَعْرِفُهَا، وَتَسْعَى إِلَيْكَ أُمَمٌ لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، بِفَضْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَجَّدَكَ.

6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

6 اطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ مَادَامَ مَوْجُوداً، ادْعُوهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ.

7 Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

7 لِيَتْرُكِ الشِّرِّيرُ طَرِيقَهُ وَالأَثِيمُ أَفْكَارَهُ، وَلْيَتُبْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَرْحَمَهُ، وَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى إِلَهِنَا لأَنَّهُ يُكْثِرُ الْغُفْرَانَ.

8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

8 لأَنَّ أَفْكَارِي لَيْسَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لأَفْكَارِكُمْ، وَلا طُرُقَكُمْ مِثْلُ طُرُقِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

9 فَكَمَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، كَذَلِكَ ارْتَفَعَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ أَفْكَارِكُمْ.

10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

10 وَكَمَا تَهْطِلُ الأَمْطَارُ وَيَنْهَمِرُ الثَّلْجُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَلا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، بَلْ تُرْوِي الْحُقُولَ وَالأَشْجَارَ، وَتَجْعَلُ الْبُذُورَ تُنْبِتُ وَتَنْمُو وَتُثْمِرُ زَرْعاً لِلزَّارِعِ وَخُبْزاً لِلْجِيَاعِ،

11 so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.

11 هَكَذَا تَكُونُ كَلِمَتِي الَّتِي تَصْدُرُ عَنِّي مُثْمِرَةً دَائِماً، وَتُحَقِّقُ مَا أَرْغَبُ فِيهِ وَتُفْلِحُ بِمَا أَعْهَدُ بِهِ إِلَيْهَا.

12 You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

12 لأَنَّكُمْ سَتَتْرُكُونَ بَابِلَ بِفَرَحٍ وَسَلامٍ فَتَتَرَنَّمُ الْجِبَالُ وَالتِّلالُ أَمَامَكُمْ بَهْجَةً وَتُصَفِّقُ أَشْجَارُ الْحَقْلِ بِأَيْدِيهَا غِبْطَةً،

13 Instead of the thornbush, the cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, the myrtle will spring up; this will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

13 وَحَيْثُ كَانَ الشَّوْكُ وَالْقُرَّاصُ، تَنْمُو أَشْجَارُ السَّرْوِ وَالآسِ: فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ تَخْلِيداً لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَعَلامَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لَا تُمْحَى.
