1 T hus says the Lord, “ Preserve justice and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «حافِظُوا عَلَى العَدالَةِ، وَاعْمَلُوا الصَّلاحَ. لأنَّ خَلاصِي سَيَأتِيكُمْ قَرِيباً، وَعَدلِي سَيُعلَنُ كَذَلِكَ.

2 “ How blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

هَنِيئاً لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَعمَلُ الصَّلاحَ وَيَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ. يَحفَظُ السَّبتَ وَلا يُنَجِّسُهُ، وَيَمنَعُ يَدَهُ عَنْ عَمَلِ الشَّرِّ.»

3 L et not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely separate me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”

لا يَقُلِ الغَرِيبُ الَّذِي يَربِطُ نَفسَهُ باللهِ: «سَيَفصِلُنِي اللهُ عَنْ شَعبِهِ حَتْماً.» وَلا يَقُلِ الخَصِيِّ: «أنا كَالشَّجَرَةِ النّاشِفَةِ.»

4 F or thus says the Lord, “To the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant,

لأنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «الخِصيانُ الَّذِينَ يَحفَظُونَ سُبُوتِي، وَيَختارُونَ ما يَسُرُّنِي، وَيَحفَظُونَ عَهدِي،

5 T o them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial, And a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off.

سَأُعطِيهُمْ فِي هَيكَلِي، وَداخِلَ أسوارِي، نَصِيباً وَذِكرَى طَيِّبَةً أفضَلَ مِنَ البَنِينِ وَالبَناتِ. سَأُعطِيهِمُ اسْماً أبَدِيّاً لَنْ يُنسَى.

6 “ Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord, To be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the sabbath And holds fast My covenant;

وَالغُرَباءُ الَّذِينَ يَلتَصِقُونَ باللهِ لِيَخدِمُوهُ وَيُحِبُّونَ اسْمَ اللهِ ، الَّذِينَ يَحفَظُونَ السَّبتَ وَلا يُنَجِّسُونَهُ، وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهدِي،

7 E ven those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”

سَآتِي بِهِمْ إلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ، وَسَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ فِي بَيتِ الصَّلاةِ الَّذِي لِي. وَسَتَكُونُ ذَبائِحُهُمْ مَقبُولَةً عَلَى مَذبَحِي. لأنَّ بَيتَي يُدعَى بَيتَ صَلاةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ.»

8 T he Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.”

فَهَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ الَّذِي يَجمَعُ المَطرُودِينَ مِنَ بَنِي إسْرائيلَ: «سَأجمَعُ آخَرِينَ إلَيْهِمْ، بِالإضافَةِ إلَى الَّذِينَ جَمَعتُهُمْ.» إهمالُ حُرّاسِ إسْرائِيل

9 A ll you beasts of the field, All you beasts in the forest, Come to eat.

يا كُلَّ الحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ، وَيا كُلَّ حَيواناتِ الغابَةِ، تَعالَي وَكُلِي.

10 H is watchmen are blind, All of them know nothing. All of them are mute dogs unable to bark, Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;

حُرّاسُ إسْرائِيلَ عُميانٌ. كُلُّهُمْ لا يَعرِفُونَ شَيئاً. كُلُّهُمْ كِلابٌ بُكْمٌ لا تَستَطِيعُ النُّباحَ. يَضطَجِعُونَ وَيَحلُمُونَ، فَكَمْ يُحِبُّونَ النَّومَ!

11 A nd the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied. And they are shepherds who have no understanding; They have all turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.

وَكَالكِلابِ الشَّرِهَةِ لا يَشبَعُونَ أبَداً. وَكالرُّعاةِ الَّذِينَ لا يَفهَمُونَ. كُلُّهُمْ التَفَتُوا إلَى طُرُقِهِمْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ اهتَمَّ بِرِبحِهِ.

12 “ Come,” they say, “let us get wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink; And tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”

يَقُولُونَ: «هَيّا نَشرَبُ خَمراً، تَعالَوْا نَشرَبْ حَتَى نَسكَرَ. وَسَيَكُونُ الغَدُ عَظِيماً كَهَذا اليَومِ، بَلْ أعظَمَ بِكَثِيرٍ.»
