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 who comes from Edom, With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

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

Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?

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 wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I 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 My year of redemption has come.

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

“I looked, and there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me.

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

“I trod down the peoples in My anger And made them drunk in My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.” God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

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 shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord, According to all that the Lord has granted us, And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

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

For He said, “Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely.” So He became their Savior.

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 mercy He redeemed them, And He lifted 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 turned Himself to become their enemy, He 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 His people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is He who 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؟

Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, Who divided the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,

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

Who led them through the depths? Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble;

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 which go down into the valley, The Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. So You led Your people, To make for Yourself a glorious name. “You Are Our Father”

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

Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious habitation; Where are Your zeal and Your mighty deeds? The stirrings of Your heart and Your compassion 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 You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O Lord, are our Father, Our Redeemer from of old is Your name.

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

Why, O Lord, do You cause us to stray from Your ways And harden our heart from fearing You? Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

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

Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while, Our adversaries have trodden it down.

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

We have become like those over whom You have never ruled, Like those who were not called by Your name.
