Isaiah 48

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Hear this, O house of Jacob called by the name Israel, sprung from the stock of Judah, You who swear by the name of the LORD and invoke the God of Israel without sincerity or justice,	1 اسمعوا هذا يا بيت يعقوب المدعوين باسم اسرائيل الذين خرجوا من مياه يهوذا الحالفين باسم الرب والذين يذكرون اله اسرائيل ليس بالصدق ولا بالحق.
2 Though you are named after the holy city and rely on the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD of hosts.	2 فانهم يسمّون من مدينة القدس ويسندون الى اله اسرائيل. رب الجنود اسمه.
3 Things of the past I foretold long ago, they went forth from my mouth, I let you hear of them; then suddenly I took action and they came to be.	3 بالاوليات منذ زمان اخبرت ومن فمي خرجت وانبأت بها. بغتة صنعتها فأتت.
4 Because I know that you are stubborn and that your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead bronze,	4 لمعرفتي انك قاس وعضل من حديد عنقك وجبهتك نحاس
5 I foretold them to you of old; before they took place I let you hear of them, That you might not say, "My idol did them, my statue, my molten image commanded them."	5 اخبرتك منذ زمان قبلما أتت انبأتك. لئلا تقول صنمي قد صنعها ومنحوتي ومسبوكي أمر بها.
6 Now that you have heard, look at all this; must you not admit it? From now on I announce new things to you, hidden events of which you knew not.	6 قد سمعت فانظر كلها. وانتم ألا تخبرون قد انبأتك بحديثات منذ الآن وبمخفيات لم تعرفها.
7 Now, not long ago, they are brought into being, and beforetime you did not hear of them, so that you cannot claim to have known them;	7 الآن خلقت وليس منذ زمان وقبل اليوم لم تسمع بها لئلا تقول هانذا قد عرفتها.
8 You neither heard nor knew, they did not reach your ears beforehand. Yes, I know you are utterly treacherous, a rebel you were called from birth.	8 لم تسمع ولم تعرف ومنذ زمان لم تنفتح اذنك فاني علمت انك تغدر غدرا ومن البطن سمّيت عاصيا.
9 For the sake of my name I restrain my anger, for the sake of my renown I hold it back from you, lest I should destroy you.	9 من اجل اسمي ابطئ غضبي ومن اجل فخري امسك عنك حتى لا اقطعك.
10 See, I have refined you like silver, tested you in the furnace of affliction.	10 هانذا قد نقيتك وليس بفضة. اخترتك في كور المشقة.
11 For my sake, for my own sake, I do this; why should I suffer profanation? My glory I will not give to another.	11 من اجل نفسي من اجل نفسي افعل. لانه كيف يدنس اسمي وكرامتي لا اعطيها لآخر
12 Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I named! I, it is I who am the first, and also the last am I.	12 اسمع لي يا يعقوب واسرائيل الذي دعوته. انا هو. انا الاول وانا الآخر
13 Yes, my hand laid the foundations of the earth; my right hand spread out the heavens. When I call them, they stand forth at once.	13 ويدي اسست الارض ويميني نشرت السموات. انا ادعوهنّ فيقفن معا
14 All of you assemble and listen: Who among you foretold these things? The LORD'S friend shall do his will against Babylon and the progeny of Chaldea.	14 اجتمعوا كلكم واسمعوا. من منهم اخبر بهذه. قد احبه الرب. يصنع مسرته ببابل ويكون ذراعه على الكلدانيين.
15 I myself have spoken, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way succeeds!	15 انا انا تكلمت ودعوته. اتيت به فينجح طريقه.
16 Come near to me and hear this! Not from the beginning did I speak it in secret; At the time it comes to pass, I am present: "Now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his spirit."	16 تقدموا اليّ اسمعوا هذا. لم اتكلم من البدء في الخفاء. منذ وجوده انا هناك والآن السيد الرب ارسلني وروحه
17 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I, the LORD, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go.	17 هكذا يقول الرب فاديك قدوس اسرائيل. انا الرب الهك معلمك لتنتفع وامشيك في طريق تسلك فيه.
18 If you would hearken to my commandments, your prosperity would be like a river, and your vindication like the waves of the sea;	18 ليتك اصغيت لوصاياي فكان كنهر سلامك وبرك كلجج البحر.
19 Your descendants would be like the sand, and those born of your stock like its grains, Their name never cut off or blotted out from my presence.	19 وكان كالرمل نسلك وذرية احشائك كاحشائه. لا ينقطع ولا يباد اسمه من امامي
20 Go forth from Babylon, flee from Chaldea! With shouts of joy proclaim this, make it known; Publish it to the ends of the earth, and say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.	20 اخرجوا من بابل اهربوا من ارض الكلدانيين. بصوت الترنم اخبروا نادوا بهذا شيّعوه الى اقصى الارض. قولوا قد فدى الرب عبده يعقوب.
21 They did not thirst when he led them through dry lands; Water from the rock he set flowing for them; he cleft the rock, and waters welled forth."	21 ولم يعطشوا في القفار التي سيرهم فيها. اجرى لهم من الصخر ماء وشق الصخر ففاضت المياه.
22 (There is no peace for the wicked, says the LORD.)	22 لا سلام قال الرب للاشرار
