Isaiah 65

1 “I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’

1 «قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُ ذَاتِي لِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي، وَوَجَدَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْنِي، وَقُلْتُ:’هَأَنَذَا‘ لأُمَّةٍ لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِي.

2 All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,

2 بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ صَالِحٍ، تَابِعِينَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ،

3 to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,

3 شَعْبٍ يُثَابِرُ عَلَى إِغَاظَتِي فِي وَجْهِي، إِذْ يُقَرِّبُ ذَبَائِحَ لأَصْنَامِهِ فِي الْحَدَائِقِ وَيُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً فَوْقَ مَذَابِحِ الطُّوبِ.

4 sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.

4 يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ الْمَقَابِرِ وَيَبِيتُ اللَّيْلَ فِي أَمَاكِنَ سِرِّيَّةٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَفِي أَوَانِيهِ مَرَقُ لُحُومٍ نَجِسَةٍ.

5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.

5 وَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمْ لِلآخَرِ:’لَا تَقْتَرِبْ مِنِّي لِئَلَّا تُدَنِّسَنِي، لأَنِّي أَقْدَسُ مِنْكَ‘ (فَيُثِيرُونَ غَيْظِي) كَدُخَانٍ فِي أَنْفِي وَنَارٍ تَتَّقِدُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

6 Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,

6 انْظُرُوا قَدْ كُتِبَ أَمَامِي: لَنْ أَصْمُتَ بَلْ أُجَازِي، وَأُلْقِي فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ

7 both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”

7 خَطَايَاهُمْ وَخَطَايَا آبَائِهِمْ مَعاً». يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ «لأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا بَخُوراً عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَأَهَانُونِي عَلَى الآكَامِ، فَإِنِّي أَكِيلُ أَعْمَالَهُمُ الأُولَى وَأَطْرَحُهَا فِي أَحْضَانِهِمْ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ».

8 This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.

8 وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا أَنَّ (الكَرَّامَ) لَا يَطْرَحُ العُنْقُودَ الفَاسِدَ إِذْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّ فِي عِنَبِهِ بَعْضَ الْخَمْرِ الطَيِّبِ، كَذَلِكَ لَنْ أَطْرَحَ مِنْ أَمَامِي كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِئَلَّا أَقْضِيَ عَلَى خُدَّامِي جَمِيعاً.

9 And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.

9 بَلْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِ يَعْقُوبَ ذُرِّيَّةً، وَمِنْ يَهُوذَا وَارِثاً لِجِبَالِي، فَيَمْلِكُهَا مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُقِيمُ فِيهَا عَبِيدِي،

10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.

10 وَتُصْبِحُ أَرْضُ شَارُونَ مَرْعىً لِلْقُطْعَانِ، وَوَادِي عَخُورَ مَرْبِضَ بَقَرٍ لِشَعْبِي الَّذِي طَلَبَنِي».

11 But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,

11 «أَمَّا أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ نَبَذْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَنَسِيتُمْ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسَ، وَهَيَّأْتُمْ مَذْبَحاً لإِلَهِ’الْحَظِّ‘ وَمَلَأْتُمُ الْكُؤُوسَ خَمْراً مَمْزُوجَةً لإِلَهِ’الْقَدَرِ‘،

12 I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”

12 فَأجْعَلُ مَصِيرَكُمُ الْهَلاكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتَسْجُدُونَ جَمِيعاً لِذَابِحِيكُمْ لأَنَّنِي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ تُجِيبُوا، تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَارْتَكَبْتُمُ الشَّرَّ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنِّي وَاخْتَرْتُمْ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ».

13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

13 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا عَبِيدِي يَأْكُلُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجُوعُونَ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَظْمَأُونَ، وَيَفْرَحُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَخْزَوْنَ،

14 My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.

14 وَيَتَرَنَّمُونَ فِي غِبْطَةِ الْقَلْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ تُعْوِلُونَ مِنْ أَسَى الْقَلْبِ، وَتُوَلْوِلُونَ مِنِ انْكِسَارِ الرُّوحِ،

15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.

15 وَتُخْلِفُونَ اسْمَكُمْ لَعْنَةً عَلَى شِفَاهِ مُخْتَارِيَّ، وَيُمِيتُكُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُطْلِقُ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ اسْماً آخَرَ.

16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.

16 فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، وَمَنْ يُقْسِمُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّمَا يُقْسِمُ بِالإِلَهِ الْحَقِّ، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَاتِ الأُولَى قَدْ نُسِيَتْ وَاحْتَجَبَتْ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ.

17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

17 لأَنَّنِي هَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ سَمَاوَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً وَأَرْضاً جَدِيدَةً، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ الأُولَى فَلا تَعُودُ تَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالٍ

18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.

18 إِنَّمَا افْرَحُوا وَابْتَهِجُوا إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِمَا أَنَا خَالِقُهُ، فَهَا أَنَا أَخْلُقُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَهْجَةً، وَشَعْبَهَا فَرَحاً.

19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

19 وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَغْتَبِطُ بِشَعْبِي، وَلا يَعُودُ يُسْمَعُ فِيهَا صَوْتُ بُكَاءٍ أَوْ نَحِيبٍ،

20 No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.

20 وَلا يَكُونُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ طِفْلٌ لَا يَعِيشُ سِوَى أَيَّامٍ قَلائِلَ، أَوْ شَيْخٌ لَا يَسْتَوْفِي أَيَّامَهُ. وَمَنْ يَمُوتُ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ يُعْتَبَرُ فَتىً، وَمَنْ لَا يَبْلُغُهَا يَكُونُ مَلْعُوناً.

21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

21 يَغْرِسُ النَّاسُ كُرُومَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَ ثِمَارَهَا، وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَيُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا،

22 No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.

22 لَا يَبْنُونَ لِيَأْتِيَ آخَرُ فَيَسْكُنَ فِيهَا، وَلا يَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً لِيَجْنِيَهَا آخَرُ، لأَنَّ أَيَّامَ شَعْبِي تَكُونُ مَدِيدَةً كَأَيَّامِ الشَّجَرِ، وَيَتَمَتَّعُ مُخْتَارِيَّ بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

23 They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD—they and their descendants with them.

23 فَهُمْ لَنْ يَتْعَبُوا بَاطِلاً وَلا تُنْجِبُ نِسَاؤُهُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ ذُرِّيَّةَ مُبَارَكِي الرَّبِّ، وَيَتَبَارَكُ أَوْلادُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ.

24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

24 وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوا أَسْتَجِيبُ، وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أُنْصِتُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,” says the LORD.

25 وَيَرْعَى الذِّئْبُ وَالْحَمَلُ مَعاً، وَيَأْكُلُ الأَسَدُ التِّبْنَ كَالْبَقَرِ، وَتَأْكُلُ الْحَيَّةُ التُّرَابَ. لَا يُؤْذُونَ وَلا يُهْلِكُونَ فِي كُلِّ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.
