1 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «السَّماءُ عَرشٌ لِي، وَالأرْضُ مَداسٌ لِقَدَمَيَّ. فَأيُّ بَيتٍ تُرِيدُونَ أنْ تَبنُوهُ لِي؟ هَلْ أحتاجُ إلَى مَكانٍ لِلرّاحَةِ؟

Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for Me? And what kind can be My resting-place?

2 ي َدِي صَنَعَتْ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ كُلَّها، وَلِذَلِكَ هِيَ وُجِدْتْ، يَقُولُ اللهُ. «لَكِنِّي أنظُرُ إلَى المِسكِينِ وَمَكسُورِ الرُّوحِ، الَّذِي يَرتَعِدُ عِندَ سَماعِ كَلامِي.

For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being, says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands.

3 ل َيسَ كَمَنْ يَذبَحُ لِي ثَوراً ثُمَّ يَقتُلُ إنساناً! أوْ يُضَحِّي لِي بِحَمَلٍ ثُمَّ يَكسِرُ عُنُقَ كَلبٍ! أوْ يُقَدِّمُ تَقدِمَةَ قَمحٍ وَيُرفِقُها بِدَمِ خِنزِيرٍ! أوْ يُحرِقُ بَخُوراً تَقدِمَةً لِي ثُمَّ يُبارِكُ وَثَناً! هُمُ اختارُوا طُرُقَهُمْ، وَيُسَرُّونَ بأوثانِهِمُ الكَرِيهَةِ.

He who kills an ox will be as guilty as if he slew and sacrificed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb or a kid, as if he broke a dog’s neck and sacrificed him; he who offers a cereal offering, as if he offered swine’s blood; he who burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;

4 و َأنا أيضاً سَأُعامِلُهُمْ بِقَسوَةٍ، وَسَأجلِبُ عَلَيهِمْ ما يَخافُونَهُ. لأنِّي دَعَوتُ، وَلَمْ يُجِبْ أحَدٌ، تَكَلَّمْتُ، وَلَمْ يَستَمِعُوا، بَلْ صَنَعُوا الشَّرَّ أمامِي، وَاختارُوا ما لا يَسُرُّنِي.»

So I also will choose their delusions and mockings, their calamities and afflictions, and I will bring their fears upon them—because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen or obey. But they did what was evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.

5 ا سْتَمِعُوا إلَى كَلِمَةِ اللهِ ، يا مَنْ تُدرِكُونَ هَيبَتَها عِندَ سَماعِها: «أقرِباؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَكرَهُونَكُمْ وَيَرفُضُونَكُمْ مِنْ أجلِ اسْمِي يَقُولُونَ: ‹فَلْيُظهِرِ اللهُ مَجدَهُ وَيُخَلِّصْهُمْ، حَتَّى نَرَى فَرَحَكُمْ.› لَكِنَّهُمْ سَيُخزَوْنَ.» عِقابٌ وَأُمَّةٌ جَدِيدَة

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word: Your brethren who hate you, who cast you out for My name’s sake, have said, Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy! But it is they who shall be put to shame.

6 ه ا ضَجَّةٌ آتِيَةٌ مِنَ المُدُنِ، وَمِنَ الهَيكَلِ. إنَّهُ صَوتُ اللهِ يُعاقِبُ أعداءَهُ بِحَسَبِ ما يَستَحِقُّونَ.

An uproar from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord, rendering recompense to His enemies!

7 و َلَدَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ قَبلَ أنْ تَأتِيَ آلامُ المَخاضِ. قَبلَ أنْ تَشعَرَ بِألَمِ الوِلادَةِ، أنجَبَتْ ذَكَراً.

Before travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came upon her, she was delivered of a male child.

8 م َنْ سَمِعَ بِشَيءٍ مِثلِ هَذا؟ وَمَنْ رَأى مِثلَهُ؟ هَلْ تُولَدُ بَلَدٌ فِي يَومٍ؟ هَلْ تُولَدُ أُمَّةٌ فِي لَحظَةٍ؟ نَعَمْ، وَلَدَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ بَنِيها فِي أوَّلِ المَخاضِ.

Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Or shall a nation be brought forth in a moment? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she brought forth her children.

9 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «فَهَلْ أُرسِلُ مَخاضاً وَأمنَعُ الوِلادَةَ؟ أنا سَأُعِينُها عَلَى الوِلادَةِ، فَلِماذا أمنَعُ الإنجابَ؟» يَقُولُ إلَهُكِ.

Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? says the Lord. Shall I Who causes to bring forth shut the womb? says your God.

10 ا فرَحُوا مَعَ القُدْسِ وَابتَهِجُوا لأجلِها، يا جَميعَ مُحِبِّيها. افرَحُوا مَعَها فَرَحاً، يا جَميعَ النّائِحِينَ عَلَيها.

Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her,

11 ل ِكَي تَرْضَعُوا وَتَشبَعُوا عَلَى صَدرِها المُرِيحِ، وَتَشرَبُوا بِسُرورٍ فِي حِضنِها المَجِيدِ.

That you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breasts, that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the abundance and brightness of her glory.

12 ل أنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «سَأُرسِلُ لَها سَلاماً كَنَهرٍ، وَثَروَةَ الأُمَمِ كَجَدوَلٍ مُتَدَفِّقٍ. سَتُرضَعُونَ، وَعَلَى الأيدِي تُحمَلُونَ، وَعَلَى الرُّكَبِ تُدَلَّلُونَ.

For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; then you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip and trotted on her knees.

13 و َكَما تُعَزِّي الأُمُّ طِفلَها، هَكَذا سَأُعَزِّيكُمْ. وَسَتَتَعَزَّونَ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 س َتَرَونَ، وَقُلُوبُكُمْ سَتَفرَحُ، وَأجسادُكُمْ كَالعُشبِ سَتَزهُو. وَسَتَكُونُ قُوَّةُ اللهِ مَعرُوفَةً بَينَ خُدّامِهِ، وَغَضَبُهُ وَسَطَ أعدائِهِ.»

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like green and tender grass. And the hand of the Lord shall be revealed and known to be with His servants, but His indignation to be against His enemies.

15 ه ا إنَّ اللهَ قادِمٌ بِالنّارِ، وَمَركَباتُهُ مِثلَ العاصِفَةِ، لِيُعاقِبَ تِلكَ الشُّعُوبَ فِي غَضَبِهِ، وَيُوَبِّخَهُمْ بِلُهُبِ النّارِ.

For behold, the Lord will come in fire, and His chariots will be like the stormy wind, to render His anger with fierceness, and His rebuke with flames of fire.

16 س َيُحاكِمُ اللهُ جَمِيعَ البَشَرِ، وَسَيُنَفِّذُ حُكمَهُ بِالنّارِ وَبِسَيفِهِ. كَثِيرُونَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ سَيَقتُلُهُمُ اللهُ.

For by fire and by His sword will the Lord execute judgment upon all flesh, and the slain of the Lord will be many.

17 « سَيَهِلِكُ مَعاً أولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَغتَسِلُونَ وَيَتَطَهَّرُونَ لِلذَّهابِ إلَى مَزاراتِ الأوثانِ، واحِداً بَعدَ الآخَرِ، وَيَتَوَسَّطُهُمْ قائِدُهُمْ. سَيَهِلِكُ مَعاً أولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَأكُلُونَ لَحمَ خَنازِيرَ وَجِرذانَ وَقَذاراتٍ أُخرَى،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

Those who sanctify themselves and cleanse themselves to enter in the gardens, following after one in the midst, eating hog’s flesh and the abomination and the shall come to an end together, says the Lord.

18 « أعرِفُ أعمالَهُمْ وَأفكارَهُمْ. أنا آتٍ لأجمَعَ كُلَّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالألسِنَةِ، وَسَيَأتُونَ وَيَرَونَ مَجدِي.

For I know their works and their thoughts. And the time is coming when I will gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.

19 س َأضَعُ فِيهِمْ عَلامَةً، وَسَأُرسِلُ النّاجِينَ مِنهُمْ إلَى تَرشِيشَ وَفُولَ وَلُودَ – المشهُورَةِ بِرُماةِ السِّهامِ – وَماشِكَ وَتُوبالَ وَياوانَ، وَإلَى الجُزُرِ البَعِيدَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَسمَعْ بِي وَلَمْ تَرَ مَجدِي، فَيُخبِرُونَ بِمَجدِي وَسَطَ تِلكَ الأُمَمِ.

And I will set up a sign among them, and from them I will send survivors to the nations—to Tarshish, Pul (Put), and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles and coastlands afar off that have not heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare and proclaim My glory among the nations.

20 و َسَيَأتُونَ بِكُلِّ إخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ كَتَقدِمَةٍ للهِ. سَيَأتُونَ إلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ – مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ – عَلَى الخَيلِ وَفِي المَركَباتٍ وَالعَرَباتِ المُغَطّاةٍ وَعَلَى البِغالِ وَالجِمالِ، كَما يَأتِي بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ بِتَقدِمَةِ قَمحٍ فِي إناءٍ نَظِيفٍ إلَى بَيتِ اللهِ.

And they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the Lord—upon horses and in chariots and in litters and upon mules and upon camels—to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the children of Israel bring their cereal offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord.

21 و َسَأُعَيِّنُ مِنهُمْ كَهَنَةً وَلاوِيِّينَ.» يَقُولُ اللهُ. السَّماواتُ الجَدِيدَةُ وَالأرْضُ الجَدِيدَة

And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says the Lord.

22 « لأنَّهُ كَما أنَّ السَّماواتِ الجَدِيدَةَ وَالأرْضَ الجَدِيدَةَ الَّتِي سَأصنَعُ سَتَدُومُ فِي مَحضَرِي، هَكَذا أيضاً سَيَدُومُ اسْمُهُمْ وَنَسلُهُمْ.

For as the new heavens and the new earth which I make shall remain before Me, says the Lord, so shall your offspring and your name remain.

23 و َمِنْ شَهرٍ إلَى شَهرٍ، وَمِنْ سَبتٍ إلَى سَبتٍ، سَيَأتِي كُلُّ البَشَرِ لِيَسجُدُوا أمامِي،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

And it shall be that from one New Moon to another New Moon and from one Sabbath to another Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, says the Lord.

24 « وَسَيَخرُجُونَ وَيَرَوْنَ جُثَثَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ. فَإنَّ دُودَهُمْ لَنْ يَمُوتَ، وَنارَهُمْ لَنْ تُطفَأ، بَلْ سَيَمقُتُهُمْ جَميعُ البَشَرِ.»

And they shall go forth and gaze upon the dead bodies of the men who have stepped over against Me; for their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind.
