1 « تَعالَوْا إلَى الماءِ يا كُلَّ العِطاشِ، وَيا مَنْ لا مالَ لَهُمْ، تَعالَوْا كُلُوا وَاشرَبُوا. تَعالَوْا اشتَرُوا نَبِيذاً وَحَلِيباً بِلا مالٍ وَلا ثَمَنٍ.

“Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.

2 ل ِماذا تُنفِقُونَ مالَكُمْ فِي ما لَيسَ طَعاماً، وَتُضَيِّعُونَ تَعَبَكُمْ فِي ما لا يُشبِعُ؟ اسْتَمِعُوا إلَيَّ جَيِّداً وَكُلُوا الطَّيِّباتِ، وَتَمَتَّعُوا بِالطَّعامِ الدَّسِمِ.

“Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And delight yourself in abundance.

3 ا فتَحُوا آذانَكُمْ وَتَعالَوا إلَيَّ، اسْتَمِعُوا كَي تَحيُوا. سَأقطَعُ مَعَكُمْ عَهداً أبَدِيّاً، كَعَهدِ إحساناتِي الأمِينَةِ لِداوُدَ.

“ Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, According to the faithful mercies shown to David.

4 ج َعَلْتُهُ شاهِداً لِلأُمَمِ، وَرَئِيساً وَقائِداً لِلشُّعُوبِ.»

“Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples, A leader and commander for the peoples.

5 س َتَدعُو أُمَّةً لا تَعرِفُها، وَأُمَمٌ لا تَعرِفُكَ سَتَركُضُ إلَيكَ، مِنْ أجلِ إلَهِكَ ، وَقُدُّوسِ إسْرائِيلَ لأنَّهُ جَمَّلَكَ.

“Behold, you will call a nation you do not know, And a nation which knows you not will run to you, Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.”

6 ا طلُبُوا اللهَ ما دامَ يُوجَدُ، ادعُوهُ فَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ.

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

7 ل َيَتَخَلَّ الأشرارُ عَنْ أعمالِهِمْ، وَالأثَمَةُ عَنْ أفكارِهِمْ. ليَتُوبُوا إلَى اللهِ وَهُوَ سَيَرحَمُهُمْ، وَإلَى إلَهِنا لأنَّهُ يَغفِرُ بِلا حُدُودٍ. عَظَمَةُ فِكرِ الله

Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.

8 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «لأنَّ أفكارِيَ لَيسَتْ كَأفكارِكُمْ، وَطُرُقِي لَيسَتْ كَطُرُقِكُمْ، يَقُولُ اللهُ.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

9 ف َكَما تَعلُو السَّماواتِ عَنِ الأرْضِ، هَكَذا تَعلُو طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، وَأفكارِي عَنْ أفكارِكُمْ.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 « وَكَما يَنزِلُ المَطَرُ وَالثَّلجُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَلا يَعُودانِ إلَى هُناكَ إلّا بَعدَ أنْ يَروِيا الأرْضَ، وَيَجعَلانِها تَلِدُ وَتُنبِتُ لِتُعطِيَ بُذُوراً لِلزّارِعِ وَطَعاماً لِلآكِلِ،

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

11 ه َكَذا كَلِمَتِي الَّتِي أقُولُها، فَهِيَ لَنْ تَرجِعَ إلَيَّ بِغَيرِ نَتِيجَةٍ، لَكِنَّها سَتُنجِزُ ما أُخَطِّطُ لَهُ، وَسَتَنجَحُ فِي عَمَلِ ما أرسَلتُها لأجلِ عَمَلِهِ.

So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

12 « لأنَّكُمْ سَتَخرُجُونَ بِفَرَحٍ، وَسَتُقادُونَ بِسَلامٍ. الجِبالُ وَالتِّلالُ سَتَهتِفُ أمامَكُمْ بِالتَّرَنُّمِ، وَكُلُّ أشجارِ الحُقُولِ سَتُصَفِّقُ بِأيدِيها.

“For you will go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

13 س َيَنمُو السَّروُ مَكانَ الشَّوكِ، وَنَباتُ الآسِ مَكانَ العَوسَجِ. سَيَكُونُ هَذا لِلتَّذكِيرِ باللهِ ، عَلامَةً أبَدِيَّةً لا تَزُولُ.»

“Instead of the thorn bush the cypress will come up, And instead of the nettle the myrtle will come up, And it will be a memorial to the Lord, For an everlasting sign which will not be cut off.”
