Isaia (اشعياء) 40

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 عزّوا عزّوا شعبي يقول الهكم.	1 Be comforted, be comforted, my people, saith your God.
2 طيبوا قلب اورشليم ونادوها بان جهادها قد كمل ان اثمها قد عفي عنه انها قد قبلت من يد الرب ضعفين عن كل خطاياها	2 Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her: for her evil is come to an end, her iniquity is forgiven: she hath received of the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.
3 صوت صارخ في البرية اعدوا طريق الرب. قوّموا في القفر سبيلا لالهنا.	3 The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.
4 كل وطاء يرتفع وكل جبل واكمة ينخفض ويصير المعوج مستقيما والعراقيب سهلا.	4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways plain.
5 فيعلن مجد الرب ويراه كل بشر جميعا لان فم الرب تكلم	5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.
6 صوت قائل ناد. فقال بماذا انادي. كل جسد عشب وكل جماله كزهر الحقل.	6 The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of the held.
7 يبس العشب ذبل الزهر لان نفخة الرب هبت عليه. حقا الشعب عشب.	7 The grass is withered, and the dower is fallen, because the spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed the people is grass:
8 يبس العشب ذبل الزهر واما كلمة الهنا فتثبت الى الابد	8 The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen: but the word of our Lord endureth for ever.
9 على جبل عال اصعدي يا مبشرة صهيون. ارفعي صوتك بقوة يا مبشرة اورشليم. ارفعي لا تخافي. قولي لمدن يهوذا هوذا الهك.	9 Get thee up upon a high mountain, thou that bringest good tidings to Sion: lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest good tidings to Jerusalem: lift it up, fear not. Say to the cities of Juda: Behold your God:
10 هوذا السيد الرب بقوة يأتي وذراعه تحكم له. هوذا اجرته معه وعملته قدامه.	10 Behold the Lord God shall come with strength, and his arm shall rule: Behold his reward is with him and his work is before him.
11 كراع يرعى قطيعه. بذراعه يجمع الحملان وفي حضنه يحملها ويقود المرضعات	11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather together the lambs with his arm, and shall take them up in his bosom, and he himself shall carry them that are with young.
12 من كال بكفه المياه وقاس السموات بالشبر وكال بالكيل تراب الارض ووزن الجبال بالقبان والآكام بالميزان.	12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and weighed the heavens with his palm? who hath poised with three fingers the bulk of the earth, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 من قاس روح الرب ومن مشيره يعلمه.	13 Who hath forwarded the spirit of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor, and hath taught him?
14 من استشاره فافهمه وعلمه في طريق الحق وعلمه معرفة وعرفه سبيل الفهم.	14 With whom hath he consulted, and who hath instructed him, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and shewed him the way of understanding?
15 هوذا الامم كنقطة من دلو وكغبار الميزان تحسب هوذا الجزائر يرفعها كدقة.	15 Behold the Gentiles are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the smallest grain of a balance: behold the islands are as a little dust.
16 ولبنان ليس كافيا للايقاد وحيوانه ليس كافيا لمحرقة.	16 And Libanus shall not be enough to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 كل الامم كلا شيء قدامه. من العدم والباطل تحسب عنده	17 All nations are before him as if they had no being at all, and are counted to him as nothing, and vanity.
18 فبمن تشبهون الله واي شبه تعادلون به.	18 To whom then have you likened God? or what image will you make for him?
19 الصنم يسبكه الصانع والصائغ يغشيه بذهب ويصوغ سلاسل فضة.	19 Hath the workman cast a graven statue? or hath the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?
20 الفقير عن التقدمة ينتخب خشبا لا يسوس يطلب له صانعا ماهرا لينصب صنما لا يتزعزع	20 He hath chosen strong wood, and that will not rot: the skilful workman seeketh how he may set up an idol that may not be moved.
21 ألا تعلمون. ألا تسمعون. ألم تخبروا من البداءه. ألم تفهموا من اساسات الارض	21 Do you not know? hath it not been heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood the foundations of the earth ?
22 الجالس على كرة الارض وسكانها كالجندب الذي ينشر السموات كسرادق ويبسطها كخيمة للسكن	22 It is he that sitteth upon the globe of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as locusts: he that stretcheth out the heavens as nothing, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.
23 الذي يجعل العظماء لا شيء ويصير قضاة الارض كالباطل.	23 He that bringeth the searchers of secrets to nothing, that hath made the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 لم يغرسوا بل لم يزرعوا ولم يتأصل في الارض ساقهم. فنفخ ايضا عليهم فجفوا والعاصف كالعصف يحملهم.	24 And surely their stock was neither planted, nor sown, nor rooted in the earth: suddenly he hath blown upon them, and they are withered, and a whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 فبمن تشبهونني فاساويه يقول القدوس.	25 And to whom have ye likened me, or made me equal, saith the Holy One?
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	26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these things: who bringeth out their host by number, and calleth them all by their names: by the greatness of his might, and strength, and power, not one of them was missing.
27 لماذا تقول يا يعقوب وتتكلم يا اسرائيل قد اختفت طريقي عن الرب وفات حقي الهي.	27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 أما عرفت ام لم تسمع. اله الدهر الرب خالق اطراف الارض لا يكل ولا يعيا ليس عن فهمه فحص.	28 Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard? the Lord is the everlasting God, who hath created the ends of the earth: he shall not faint, nor labour, neither is there any searching out of his wisdom.
29 يعطي المعيي قدرة ولعديم القوة يكثر شدة.	29 It is he that giveth strength to the weary, and increaseth force and might to them that are not.
30 الغلمان يعيون ويتعبون والفتيان يتعثرون تعثرا.	30 Youths shall faint, and labour, and young men shall fall by infirmity.
31 واما منتظروا الرب فيجددون قوة. يرفعون اجنحة كالنسور. يركضون ولا يتعبون يمشون ولا يعيون	31 But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
