1 و َالآنَ، هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ يا يَعقُوبُ، وَجَبَلَكَ يا إسْرائِيلُ: «لا تَخَفْ لأنِّي فَدَيتُكَ، دَعَوتُكَ بِاسمِكَ، أنْتَ لِي.

But now, thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

2 ع ِندَما تَعبُرُ المِياهَ سَأكُونُ مَعَكَ، وَعِندَما تَجتازُ الأنهارَ لَنْ تَغمُرَكَ. عِندَما تَسِيرُ عَبرَ النّارِ لَنْ تَلذَعَكَ، وَاللَّهِيبُ لَنْ يُحرِقَكَ.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.

3 ل أنِّي أنا إلَهُكَ. أنا قُدُّوسُ إسْرائِيلَ مُخَلِّصُكَ. أُقَدِّمُ مِصرَ فِديَةً عَنكَ، وَكُوشَ وَسَبَأ بَدَلاً مِنكَ.

For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange.

4 ل أنَّكَ غالٍ عَلَيَّ وَمُكَرَّمٌ، وَأنا أُحِبُّكَ. أبذِلُ أُناساً بَدَلاً مِنكَ، وَشُعُوباً بَدَلَ حَياتِكَ.» اللهُ سَيستَردُّ شَعبَه

Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and because I love you, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.

5 « لا تَخَفْ لأنِّي مَعَكَ. سَآتِي بِنَسلِكَ مِنَ الشَّرقِ، وَسَأجمَعُكَ مِنَ الغَربِ.

Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.

6 س َأقُولُ لِلشَّمالِ: ‹أطلِقْهُمْ.› وَلِلجَنُوبِ: ‹لا تَحجِزْهُمْ.› أحضِرْ أولادِيَ مِنَ الأماكِنِ البَعِيدَةِ، وَبَناتِي مِنْ أقاصِي الأرْضِ.

I will say to the north, Give up! and to the south, Keep not back. Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth—

7 أ حضِرْ كُلَّ المَدعُوِّينَ باسمِيَ، الَّذِينَ خَلَقتُهُمْ لأجلِ مَجدِي، الَّذِينَ جَبَلْتُهُمْ وَصَنَعْتُهُمْ.» إسْرائِيلُ شاهِدُ الله

Even everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, whom I have made.

8 أ خرِجِ الشَّعبَ الأعمَى، مَعَ أنَّ لَهُ عُيُوناً، الأصَمَّ مَعَ أنَّ لَهُ آذاناً.

Bring forth the blind people who have eyes and the deaf who have ears.

9 ف َلتَجتَمِعْ كُلُّ الأُمَمِ، وَلتَحتَشِدْ كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ. مَنْ مِنهُمْ أنبأ بِهذا، أوْ تَنَبّأ بِالأُمُورِ الماضِيَةِ قَبلَ أنْ تَحدُثَ؟ لِيَأتُوا بِشُهُودِهِمْ إنْ كانُوا عَلَى حَقٍّ، وَلْيَستَمِعِ النّاسُ وَيَقُولُوا: «هَذا صَحِيحٌ.»

Let all the nations be gathered together and let the peoples be assembled. Who among could predict this and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear and acknowledge, It is the truth.

10 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «أنتُمْ شُهُودِي مَعَ خادِمِي الَّذِي اختَرتُهُ. اختَرتُكُمْ لِكَي تُساعِدُوا الآخَرِينَ لِيُؤمِنُوا بِي. افهَمُوا أنِّي أنا هُوَ. لَمْ يَكُنْ قَبلِي إلَهٌ، وَبَعدِيَ لَنْ يَأتِيَ إلَهٌ.

You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know Me, believe Me and remain steadfast to Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.

11 أ نا أنا اللهُ ، وَما مِنْ مُخَلِّصٍ سِوايَ.

I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.

12 ه ا أنا أعلَنْتُ وَخَلَّصْتُ وَأخبَرتُ، قَبلَ أنْ يَكُونَ بَينَكُمْ إلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ. أنتُمْ شُهُودِي،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

I have declared and have saved, and I have shown —when there was no strange and alien god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God.

13 « أنا اللهُ، أنا هُوَ إلَى الابَدِ. وَلا أحَدٌ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْ يَدِي. أنا أعمَلُ، فَمَنْ يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يَمنَعَ ذَلِكَ؟»

Yes, from the time of the first existence of day and from this day forth I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand. I will work, and who can hinder or reverse it?

14 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ فادِيكُمْ قُدُّوسُ إسْرائِيلَ: «لأجلِكُمْ سَأُرْسِلُ جَيشاً إلَى بابِلَ، وَسَأُحَطِّمُ البَوّاباتِ المُغلَقَةَ. سَيُحْمَلُ الكِلدانِيُّونَ أسْرَى فِي سُفُنِهِمِ الَّتِي يَفتَخِرُونَ بِها.

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, all their nobles, even the Chaldeans, into the ships over which they rejoiced.

15 أ نا اللهُ قُدُّوسُكُمْ، مَلِكُكُمْ، خالِقُ إسْرائِيلَ.» خَلاصُ اللهِ لِشَعبِه

I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

16 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ الَّذِي صَنَعَ طَرِيقاً فِي البَحرِ وَسَبِيلاً فِي المِياهِ القَوِيَّةِ،

Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters,

17 ا لَّذِي هَزَمَ المَركَبَةَ وَالحِصانَ وَالجَيشَ وَالمُحارِبِينَ مَعاً، فَسَقَطُوا وَلَمْ يَقُومُوا، خَمَدُوا وَانطَفَأُوا كَفَتِيلَةٍ:

Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior. They lie down together, they cannot rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a lampwick:

18 « لا تَتَذَكَّرُوا ما حَدَثَ قَدِيماً، وَلا تُفَكِّرُوا بِالماضِي.

Do not remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.

19 ه ا إنِّي عَلَى أُوشِكُ أنْ أصنَعَ أمراً جَدِيداً. هُوَ الآنَ فِي بِدايَتِهِ. ألا تَعرِفُونَهُ؟ سَأصنَعُ طَرِيقاً فِي الصَّحراءِ، وَأنهاراً فِي القَفارِ.

Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

20 ا لحَيواناتُ البَرِّيَّةُ وَبَناتُ آوَى وَالنَّعامُ سَتُظهِرُ مَجدِي. لأنِّي سَأُعطِي ماءً فِي الصَّحراءِ، وَأنهاراً فِي القَفارِ، لأسقِيَ شَعبِي المُختارَ،

The beasts of the field honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen,

21 ا لشَّعبَ الَّذِي جَبَلْتُهُ لِنَفسِي، وَالَّذِي سَيُخبِرُ بِتَسبِيحِي.

The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth My praise.

22 « لَمْ تَدعُنِي يا يَعقُوبُ، وَتَعِبتَ مِنِّي يا إسْرائِيلُ.

Yet you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of Me, O Israel!

23 ل َمْ تُحضِرْ لِي شاةً كَذَبيحَةٍ، وَلَمْ تُكرِمْنِي بِتَقدِماتِكَ. أنا لَمْ أُثقِلْ عَلَيكَ بِالتَّقدِماتِ، وَلَمْ أُتعِبْكَ بِطَلَبِ البَخُورِ.

You have not brought Me your sheep and goats for burnt offerings, or honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not required you to serve with an offering or treated you as a slave by demanding tribute or wearied you with offering incense.

24 ل َمْ تَشتَرِ بَخُوراً طَيِّباً بِمالٍ، وَلَمْ تُشبِعنِي بِشَحمِ ذَبائِحِكَ، لَكِنَّكَ أتعَبْتَنِي بِخَطاياكَ، وَأنهَكتَنِي بِآثامِكَ.

You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, or satiated Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have only burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

25 « أنا، أنا هُوَ الماحِي خَطاياكَ لأجلِ نَفسِي. وَلَنْ أتَذَكَّرَ خَطاياكَ.

I, even I, am He Who blots out and cancels your transgressions, for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

26 ل َكِنْ تذَكَّرْنِي أنتَ، وَلنَتَحاجَجْ. اروِ قِصَّتَكَ وَأثبِتْ بَراءَتَكَ.

Put Me in remembrance; let us plead and argue together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified (proved right).

27 ج َدُّكَ الأوَّلُ أخطَأ، وَالمُدافِعُونَ عَنْكَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.

Your first father sinned, and your teachers transgressed against Me.

28 ل ِذَلِكَ نَجَّستُ قادَةَ هَذا المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ، وَسَمَحتُ بِدَمارِ يَعقُوبَ، وَبِشَتمِ إسْرائِيلَ.

And so I will profane the chief ones of the sanctuary and will deliver Jacob to the curse (the ban, a solemn anathema or excommunication) and Israel to reproaches and reviling.
