1 م َنْ هَذا الآتِي مِنْ أدُومَ، مِنْ مَدِينَةِ بُصرَى وَثِيابُهُ مُلَطَّخَةٌ بِاللَّونِ الأحمَرِ؟ مَنْ ذاكَ الَّلابِسُ ثِياباً جَمِيلَةً، وَيَسِيرُ بِقُوَّتِهِ العَظِيمَةِ؟ «هَذا أنا، المُعلِنُ النَّصرَ، القادِرُ عَلَى الخَلاصِ.»

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

2 « فَلِماذا ثِيابُكَ مُلَطَّخَةٌ بِاللَّونِ الأحمَرِ كَثِيابِ مَنْ يَدُوسُونَ العِنَبَ فِي المِعْصَرَةِ؟»

Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

3 « دُستُ مِعصَرَةَ الخَمرِ وَحدِي، وَلَمْ يُساعِدنِي مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ أحَدٌ. مَشَيتُ عَلَيهِمْ فِي غَضَبِي، وَدُستُهُمْ فِي سَخَطِي. رُشَّتْ ثِيابِي بعَصِيرِهِمْ، فَتَلَطَّخَتْ كُلُّ مَلابِسِي.

I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

4 ل أنَّنِي حَدَّدْتُ يَومَ عِقابٍ لِلأُمَمِ، وَسَنَةُ تَحرِيرِ شَعبِي قَدِ جاءَتْ.

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

5 ن َظَرتُ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ، وَاندَهَشتُ، إذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ سَنيدٍ. فَنَصَرَتْنِي ذِراعِي، وَسَنَدَنِي غَضَبِي.

And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

6 د ُستُ شُعُوباً فِي غَضَبِي، وَحَطَّمتُهُمْ فِي سَخَطِي، وَسَكَبتُ عَصِيرَهُمْ عَلَى التُّرابِ.» إحساناتُ اللهِ نَحوَ شَعبِه

And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

7 س َأُخبِرُ بِإحساناتِ اللهِ ، بأعمالِ اللهِ الَّتِي بِسَبَبِها يَستَحِقُّ التَّسبِيحَ، وَلأجلِ جَميعِ ما صَنَعَهُ اللهُ لَنا. لأجلِ إحسانِهِ الكَثِيرِ لِبَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ، الَّذِي أجزَلَهُ لَهُمْ بِحَسَبِ رَحمَتِهِ وَكَثرَةِ مَحَبَّتِهِ.

I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

8 ق الَ: «إنَّما هُمْ شَعبِي، وَأولادِي الَّذِينَ لَنْ يَخُونُونِي.» وَلِذَلِكَ صارَ مُخَلِّصَهُمْ.

For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their Saviour.

9 ف ِي كُلِّ ضِيقِهِمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولٌ أوْ مَلاكٌ لِيُخَلِّصَهُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ هُوَ نَفسُهُ خَلَّصَهُمْ، وَبِمَحَبَّتِهِ وَرَحمَتِهِ هُوَ فَداهُمْ، وَرَفَعَهُمْ وَحَمَلَهُمْ كُلَّ الأيّامِ الماضِيَةِ.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

10 و َلَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا، وَأحزَنُوا رُوحَهُ القُدُّوسَ. لِذَلِكَ صارَ عَدُوَّهُمْ، وَحارَبَهُمْ.

But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

11 ح ِينَئِذٍ، تَذَكَّرُوا الأيّامَ الماضِيَةَ، تَذَكَّرَ شَعبُهُ مُوسَى. أينَ الَّذِي أخرَجَهُمْ مِنَ البَحرِ، الَّذِي كانَ يَرعَى غَنَمَهُ؟ أينَ الَّذِي وَضَعَ فِيهِمْ رُوحَهُ القُدُّوسَ؟

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?

12 أ ينَ الَّذِي وَضَعَ ذِراعَهُ المَجِيدَةَ فِي يَمينِ مُوسَى لِيَقُودَهُ؟ اينَ الَّذِي شَقَّ الماءَ أمامَهُمْ، لِيَكُونَ اسمُهُ مَعرُوفاً إلَى الأبَدِ؟

that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 أ ينَ الَّذِي قادَهُمْ فِي المِياهِ العَمِيقَةِ؟ كَالحِصانِ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، فَلَمْ يَتَعَثَّرُوا،

that led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?

14 و َكالبَهائِمِ الَّتِي تَنزِلُ إلَى الوادِي؟ فَرُوحُ اللهِ قادَهُمْ إلَى الرّاحَةِ. هَكَذا قُدْتَ شَعبَكَ حَتَّى تَصنَعَ لِنَفسِكَ اسْماً مَجِيداً. صَلاةٌ إلَى الله

As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

15 ا نظُرْ مِنَ السَّماواتِ، مِنْ مَسكَنِكَ المُقَدَّسِ المَجِيدِ. أينَ غَيرَتُكَ وَقُوَّتُكَ، تَوقُ قَلبِكَ وَشَفَقَتُكَ؟ لِماذا تُخفيها عَنِّي؟

Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.

16 ل أنَّكَ أنتَ أبُونا، حَتَّى لَو كانَ إبراهِيمُ لا يَعرِفُنا، وَإسْرائِيلُ لا يَعلَمُ مَنْ نَحنُ. أنتَ، يا اللهُ ، أبُونا، وَاسمُكَ مِنَ القَدِيمِ هُوَ «فادِينا.»

For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name.

17 ل ِماذا تَرَكتَنا يا اللهُ نَضِلُّ عَنْ طُرُقِكَ؟ وَلِماذا تَرَكتَ قُلُوبَنا لِتَتَقَسَّى فَلا نَخافَكَ؟ ارجِعْ لأجلِ خُدّامِكَ، وَلأجلِ القَبائِلِ الَّتِي هِيَ لَكَ.

O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

18 ش َعبُكَ المُقَدَّسُ امتَلَكَ هَيكَلَكَ لِفَترَةٍ قَصِيرَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّ أعداءَنا داسُوهُ.

Thy holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

19 ك ُنّا لِفَترَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ كَمَنْ لَمْ تَحكُمْهُمْ، وَكالَّذِينَ لَمْ يُدعُوا باسْمِكَ.

We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule, as they that were not called by thy name.
