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 dyed garments from Bozrah? Who this who is glorious in his clothing, 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 clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?

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 press alone; and of the peoples, no one was with me: Yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.

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 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 wondered that there was no one to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my own 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.”

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 tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

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

For he said, “Surely, they are my people, children 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 pity he redeemed them. He bore 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 and became their enemy, and he 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 who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among 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 be at Moses’ right hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

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

Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t 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 livestock that go down into the valley, Yahweh’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people, to make yourself 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 see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is 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 doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting 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.

O Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.

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

Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.

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

We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.
