Isaiah 64

1 If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,

1 لَيْتَكَ تَشُقُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَنْزِلُ فَتَتَزَلْزَلَ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ!

2 as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!

2 فَتَكُونُ كَالنَّارِ الَّتِي تُضْرِمُ الْهَشِيمَ، وَتَجْعَلُ الْمِيَاهَ تَغْلِي لِكَيْ تُعَرِّفَ أَعْدَاءَكَ اسْمَكَ، فَتَرْتَعِبُ الأُمَمُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.

3 When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.

3 عِنْدَمَا أَجْرَيْتَ أَعْمَالاً مُخِيفَةً لَمْ نَتَوَقَّعْهَا، نَزَلْتَ فَتَزَلْزَلَتِ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.

4 From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.

4 مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَحَدٌ وَلَمْ تُصْغِ أُذُنٌ وَلَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ إِلَهاً سِوَاكَ يُجْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُهُ لِلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ.

5 You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?

5 أَنْتَ تُلاقِي مَنْ يَفْرَحُ بِعَمَلِ الْبِرِّ وَمَنْ يَسْلُكُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِكَ. لَكَمْ سُخْطْتَ عَلَيْنَا لأَنَّنَا وَاظَبْنَا عَلَى ارْتِكَابِ الآثَامِ زَمَاناً طَوِيلاً، فَكَيْفَ لِمِثْلِنَا أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟

6 Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

6 كُلُّنَا أَصْبَحْنَا كَنَجِسٍ، وَأَضْحَتْ جَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بِرِّنَا كَثَوْبٍ قَذِرٍ، فَذَبُلْنَا كَأَوْرَاقِ الشَّجَرِ وَعَبَثَتْ بِنَا آثَامُنَا كَالرِّيحِ.

7 No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.

7 لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يُنَادِي بِاسْمِكَ، وَيَحْرِصُ عَلَى التَّمَسُّكِ بِكَ لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ وَجْهَكَ عَنَّا ولاشَيْتَنَا بِسَبَبِ مَعَاصِينَا.

8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.

8 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ أَبُونَا، نَحْنُ الطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ الْخَزَّافُ، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

9 Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!

9 لَا تُوْغِلْ فِي غَضَبِكَ عَلَيْنَا يَا رَبُّ، وَلا تَذْكُرِ الإِثْمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. إِنَّمَا انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا، فَكُلُّنَا شَعْبُكَ.

10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.

10 قَدِ اسْتَحَالَتْ مَدِينَتُكَ الْمُقَدَّسَةُ إِلَى قَفْرٍ، وَأَصْبَحَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ بَرِّيَّةً وَأُورُشَلِيمُ مُوحِشَةً،

11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.

11 وَاحْتَرَقَ بِالنَّارِ هَيْكَلُنَا الْمُقَدَّسُ الْبَهِيُّ، الَّذِي شَدَا آبَاؤُنَا فِيهِ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ، وَصَارَ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ أَثِيرٌ لَدَيْنَا خَرَاباً.

12 After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

12 هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ تَسْكُتُ يَا رَبُّ، وَتَعْتَصِمُ بِالصَّمْتِ وَتُنْزِلُ بِنَا أَشَدَّ الْبَلاءِ؟
