1 T hus saith Jehovah: The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what is the house that ye will build unto me? and what is the place of my rest?

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «السَّماءُ عَرشٌ لِي، وَالأرْضُ مَداسٌ لِقَدَمَيَّ. فَأيُّ بَيتٍ تُرِيدُونَ أنْ تَبنُوهُ لِي؟ هَلْ أحتاجُ إلَى مَكانٍ لِلرّاحَةِ؟

2 E ven all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look: to the afflicted and contrite in spirit, and who trembleth at my word.

يَدِي صَنَعَتْ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ كُلَّها، وَلِذَلِكَ هِيَ وُجِدْتْ، يَقُولُ اللهُ. «لَكِنِّي أنظُرُ إلَى المِسكِينِ وَمَكسُورِ الرُّوحِ، الَّذِي يَرتَعِدُ عِندَ سَماعِ كَلامِي.

3 H e that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations,

لَيسَ كَمَنْ يَذبَحُ لِي ثَوراً ثُمَّ يَقتُلُ إنساناً! أوْ يُضَحِّي لِي بِحَمَلٍ ثُمَّ يَكسِرُ عُنُقَ كَلبٍ! أوْ يُقَدِّمُ تَقدِمَةَ قَمحٍ وَيُرفِقُها بِدَمِ خِنزِيرٍ! أوْ يُحرِقُ بَخُوراً تَقدِمَةً لِي ثُمَّ يُبارِكُ وَثَناً! هُمُ اختارُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَيُسَرُّونَ بأوثانِهِمُ الكَرِيهَةِ.

4 I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.

وَأنا أيضاً سَأُعامِلُهُمْ بِقَسوَةٍ، وَسَأجلِبُ عَلَيهِمْ ما يَخافُونَهُ. لأنِّي دَعَوتُ، وَلَمْ يُجِبْ أحَدٌ، تَكَلَّمْتُ، وَلَمْ يَستَمِعُوا، بَلْ صَنَعُوا الشَّرَّ أمامِي، وَاختارُوا ما لا يَسُرُّنِي.»

5 H ear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified, and let us see your joy! but they shall be ashamed.

اسْتَمِعُوا إلَى كَلِمَةِ اللهِ ، يا مَنْ تُدرِكُونَ هَيبَتَها عِندَ سَماعِها: «أقرِباؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَكرَهُونَكُمْ وَيَرفُضُونَكُمْ مِنْ أجلِ اسْمِي يَقُولُونَ: ‹فَلْيُظهِرِ اللهُ مَجدَهُ وَيُخَلِّصْهُمْ، حَتَّى نَرَى فَرَحَكُمْ.› لَكِنَّهُمْ سَيُخزَوْنَ.» عِقابٌ وَأُمَّةٌ جَدِيدَة

6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemies!

ها ضَجَّةٌ آتِيَةٌ مِنَ المُدُنِ، وَمِنَ الهَيكَلِ. إنَّهُ صَوتُ اللهِ يُعاقِبُ أعداءَهُ بِحَسَبِ ما يَستَحِقُّونَ.

7 B efore she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.

وَلَدَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ قَبلَ أنْ تَأتِيَ آلامُ المَخاضِ. قَبلَ أنْ تَشعَرَ بِألَمِ الوِلادَةِ، أنجَبَتْ ذَكَراً.

8 W ho hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Can a land be made to bring forth in one day? shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.

مَنْ سَمِعَ بِشَيءٍ مِثلِ هَذا؟ وَمَنْ رَأى مِثلَهُ؟ هَلْ تُولَدُ بَلَدٌ فِي يَومٍ؟ هَلْ تُولَدُ أُمَّةٌ فِي لَحظَةٍ؟ نَعَمْ، وَلَدَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ بَنِيها فِي أوَّلِ المَخاضِ.

9 S hall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut ? saith thy God.

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «فَهَلْ أُرسِلُ مَخاضاً وَأمنَعُ الوِلادَةَ؟ أنا سَأُعِينُها عَلَى الوِلادَةِ، فَلِماذا أمنَعُ الإنجابَ؟» يَقُولُ إلَهُكِ.

10 R ejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her:

افرَحُوا مَعَ القُدْسِ وَابتَهِجُوا لأجلِها، يا جَميعَ مُحِبِّيها. افرَحُوا مَعَها فَرَحاً، يا جَميعَ النّائِحِينَ عَلَيها.

11 b ecause ye shall suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; because ye shall drink out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

لِكَي تَرْضَعُوا وَتَشبَعُوا عَلَى صَدرِها المُرِيحِ، وَتَشرَبُوا بِسُرورٍ فِي حِضنِها المَجِيدِ.

12 F or thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing torrent; and ye shall suck, ye shall be carried upon the side, and be dandled upon the knees.

لأنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «سَأُرسِلُ لَها سَلاماً كَنَهرٍ، وَثَروَةَ الأُمَمِ كَجَدوَلٍ مُتَدَفِّقٍ. سَتُرضَعُونَ، وَعَلَى الأيدِي تُحمَلُونَ، وَعَلَى الرُّكَبِ تُدَلَّلُونَ.

13 A s one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

وَكَما تُعَزِّي الأُمُّ طِفلَها، هَكَذا سَأُعَزِّيكُمْ. وَسَتَتَعَزَّونَ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

14 A nd ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation toward his enemies.

سَتَرَونَ، وَقُلُوبُكُمْ سَتَفرَحُ، وَأجسادُكُمْ كَالعُشبِ سَتَزهُو. وَسَتَكُونُ قُوَّةُ اللهِ مَعرُوفَةً بَينَ خُدّامِهِ، وَغَضَبُهُ وَسَطَ أعدائِهِ.»

15 F or behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

ها إنَّ اللهَ قادِمٌ بِالنّارِ، وَمَركَباتُهُ مِثلَ العاصِفَةِ، لِيُعاقِبَ تِلكَ الشُّعُوبَ فِي غَضَبِهِ، وَيُوَبِّخَهُمْ بِلُهُبِ النّارِ.

16 F or by fire and by his sword will Jehovah enter into judgment with all flesh: and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.

سَيُحاكِمُ اللهُ جَمِيعَ البَشَرِ، وَسَيُنَفِّذُ حُكمَهُ بِالنّارِ وَبِسَيفِهِ. كَثِيرُونَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ سَيَقتُلُهُمُ اللهُ.

17 T hey that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.

«سَيَهِلِكُ مَعاً أولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَغتَسِلُونَ وَيَتَطَهَّرُونَ لِلذَّهابِ إلَى مَزاراتِ الأوثانِ، واحِداً بَعدَ الآخَرِ، وَيَتَوَسَّطُهُمْ قائِدُهُمْ. سَيَهِلِكُ مَعاً أولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَأكُلُونَ لَحمَ خَنازِيرَ وَجِرذانَ وَقَذاراتٍ أُخرَى،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

18 A nd I,—their works and their thoughts. … cometh for the gathering of all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

«أعرِفُ أعمالَهُمْ وَأفكارَهُمْ. أنا آتٍ لأجمَعَ كُلَّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالألسِنَةِ، وَسَيَأتُونَ وَيَرَونَ مَجدِي.

19 A nd I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

سَأضَعُ فِيهِمْ عَلامَةً، وَسَأُرسِلُ النّاجِينَ مِنهُمْ إلَى تَرشِيشَ وَفُولَ وَلُودَ – المشهُورَةِ بِرُماةِ السِّهامِ – وَماشِكَ وَتُوبالَ وَياوانَ، وَإلَى الجُزُرِ البَعِيدَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَسمَعْ بِي وَلَمْ تَرَ مَجدِي، فَيُخبِرُونَ بِمَجدِي وَسَطَ تِلكَ الأُمَمِ.

20 A nd they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations as an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in covered waggons, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain, to Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.

وَسَيَأتُونَ بِكُلِّ إخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ كَتَقدِمَةٍ للهِ. سَيَأتُونَ إلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ – مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ – عَلَى الخَيلِ وَفِي المَركَباتٍ وَالعَرَباتِ المُغَطّاةٍ وَعَلَى البِغالِ وَالجِمالِ، كَما يَأتِي بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ بِتَقدِمَةِ قَمحٍ فِي إناءٍ نَظِيفٍ إلَى بَيتِ اللهِ.

21 A nd I will also take of them for priests for Levites, saith Jehovah.

وَسَأُعَيِّنُ مِنهُمْ كَهَنَةً وَلاوِيِّينَ.» يَقُولُ اللهُ. السَّماواتُ الجَدِيدَةُ وَالأرْضُ الجَدِيدَة

22 F or as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

«لأنَّهُ كَما أنَّ السَّماواتِ الجَدِيدَةَ وَالأرْضَ الجَدِيدَةَ الَّتِي سَأصنَعُ سَتَدُومُ فِي مَحضَرِي، هَكَذا أيضاً سَيَدُومُ اسْمُهُمْ وَنَسلُهُمْ.

23 A nd it shall come to pass from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.

وَمِنْ شَهرٍ إلَى شَهرٍ، وَمِنْ سَبتٍ إلَى سَبتٍ، سَيَأتِي كُلُّ البَشَرِ لِيَسجُدُوا أمامِي،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

24 A nd they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.

«وَسَيَخرُجُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ جُثَثَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ. فَإنَّ دُودَهُمْ لَنْ يَمُوتَ، وَنارَهُمْ لَنْ تُطفَأ، بَلْ سَيَمقُتُهُمْ جَميعُ البَشَرِ.»
