Isaiah 40

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Comfort, give comfort to my people, says your God.	1 عزّوا عزّوا شعبي يقول الهكم.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her service is at an end, her guilt is expiated; Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.	2 طيبوا قلب اورشليم ونادوها بان جهادها قد كمل ان اثمها قد عفي عنه انها قد قبلت من يد الرب ضعفين عن كل خطاياها
3 A voice cries out: In the desert prepare the way of the LORD! Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!	3 صوت صارخ في البرية اعدوا طريق الرب. قوّموا في القفر سبيلا لالهنا.
4 Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill shall be made low; The rugged land shall be made a plain, the rough country, a broad valley.	4 كل وطاء يرتفع وكل جبل واكمة ينخفض ويصير المعوج مستقيما والعراقيب سهلا.
5 Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all mankind shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.	5 فيعلن مجد الرب ويراه كل بشر جميعا لان فم الرب تكلم
6 One man helps another, one says to the other, "Keep on!"	6 صوت قائل ناد. فقال بماذا انادي. كل جسد عشب وكل جماله كزهر الحقل.
7 The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, the one who beats with the hammer, him who strikes on the anvil; He says the soldering is good, and he fastens it with nails to steady it.	7 يبس العشب ذبل الزهر لان نفخة الرب هبت عليه. حقا الشعب عشب.
8 Though the grass withers and the flower wilts, the word of our God stands forever."	8 يبس العشب ذبل الزهر واما كلمة الهنا فتثبت الى الابد
9 Go up onto a high mountain, Zion, herald of glad tidings; Cry out at the top of your voice, Jerusalem, herald of good news! Fear not to cry out and say to the cities of Judah: Here is your God!	9 على جبل عال اصعدي يا مبشرة صهيون. ارفعي صوتك بقوة يا مبشرة اورشليم. ارفعي لا تخافي. قولي لمدن يهوذا هوذا الهك.
10 Here comes with power the Lord GOD, who rules by his strong arm; Here is his reward with him, his recompense before him.	10 هوذا السيد الرب بقوة يأتي وذراعه تحكم له. هوذا اجرته معه وعملته قدامه.
11 Like a shepherd he feeds his flock; in his arms he gathers the lambs, Carrying them in his bosom, and leading the ewes with care.	11 كراع يرعى قطيعه. بذراعه يجمع الحملان وفي حضنه يحملها ويقود المرضعات
12 Who has cupped in his hand the waters of the sea, and marked off the heavens with a span? Who has held in a measure the dust of the earth, weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?	12 من كال بكفه المياه وقاس السموات بالشبر وكال بالكيل تراب الارض ووزن الجبال بالقبان والآكام بالميزان.
13 Who has directed the spirit of the LORD, or has instructed him as his counselor?	13 من قاس روح الرب ومن مشيره يعلمه.
14 Whom did he consult to gain knowledge? Who taught him the path of judgment, or showed him the way of understanding?	14 من استشاره فافهمه وعلمه في طريق الحق وعلمه معرفة وعرفه سبيل الفهم.
15 Behold, the nations count as a drop in the bucket, as dust on the scales; the coastlands weigh no more than powder.	15 هوذا الامم كنقطة من دلو وكغبار الميزان تحسب هوذا الجزائر يرفعها كدقة.
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel, nor its animals be enough for holocausts.	16 ولبنان ليس كافيا للايقاد وحيوانه ليس كافيا لمحرقة.
17 Before him all the nations are as nought, as nothing and void he accounts them.	17 كل الامم كلا شيء قدامه. من العدم والباطل تحسب عنده
18 To whom can you liken God? With what equal can you confront him?	18 فبمن تشبهون الله واي شبه تعادلون به.
19 An idol, cast by a craftsman, which the smith plates with gold and fits with silver chains?	19 الصنم يسبكه الصانع والصائغ يغشيه بذهب ويصوغ سلاسل فضة.
20 Mulberry wood, the choice portion which a skilled craftsman picks out for himself, Choosing timber that will not rot, to set up an idol that will not be unsteady?	20 الفقير عن التقدمة ينتخب خشبا لا يسوس يطلب له صانعا ماهرا لينصب صنما لا يتزعزع
21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Was it not foretold you from the beginning? Have you not understood? Since the earth was founded	21 ألا تعلمون. ألا تسمعون. ألم تخبروا من البداءه. ألم تفهموا من اساسات الارض
22 He sits enthroned above the vault of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; He stretches out the heavens like a veil, spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.	22 الجالس على كرة الارض وسكانها كالجندب الذي ينشر السموات كسرادق ويبسطها كخيمة للسكن
23 He brings princes to nought and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing.	23 الذي يجعل العظماء لا شيء ويصير قضاة الارض كالباطل.
24 Scarcely are they planted or sown, scarcely is their stem rooted in the earth, When he breathes upon them and they wither, and the stormwind carries them away like straw.	24 لم يغرسوا بل لم يزرعوا ولم يتأصل في الارض ساقهم. فنفخ ايضا عليهم فجفوا والعاصف كالعصف يحملهم.
25 To whom can you liken me as an equal? says the Holy One.	25 فبمن تشبهونني فاساويه يقول القدوس.
26 Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these: He leads out their army and numbers them, calling them all by name. By his great might and the strength of his power not one of them is missing!	26 ارفعوا الى العلاء عيونكم وانظروا من خلق هذه. من الذي يخرج بعدد جندها يدعو كلها باسماء. لكثرة القوة وكونه شديد القدرة لا يفقد احد
27 Why, O Jacob, do you say, and declare, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"?	27 لماذا تقول يا يعقوب وتتكلم يا اسرائيل قد اختفت طريقي عن الرب وفات حقي الهي.
28 Do you not know or have you not heard? The LORD is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny.	28 أما عرفت ام لم تسمع. اله الدهر الرب خالق اطراف الارض لا يكل ولا يعيا ليس عن فهمه فحص.
29 He gives strength to the fainting; for the weak he makes vigor abound.	29 يعطي المعيي قدرة ولعديم القوة يكثر شدة.
30 Though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall,	30 الغلمان يعيون ويتعبون والفتيان يتعثرون تعثرا.
31 They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles' wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.	31 واما منتظروا الرب فيجددون قوة. يرفعون اجنحة كالنسور. يركضون ولا يتعبون يمشون ولا يعيون
