Isaiah 40

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 “Be consoled, be consoled, O my people!” says your God.	1 عزّوا عزّوا شعبي يقول الهكم.
2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out to her! For her malice has reached its end. Her iniquity has been forgiven. She has received double for all her sins from the hand of the Lord.	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 The voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord! Make straight the paths of our God, in a solitary place.	3 صوت صارخ في البرية اعدوا طريق الرب. قوّموا في القفر سبيلا لالهنا.
4 Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked will be straightened, and the uneven will become level ways.	4 كل وطاء يرتفع وكل جبل واكمة ينخفض ويصير المعوج مستقيما والعراقيب سهلا.
5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed. And all flesh together will see that the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”	5 فيعلن مجد الرب ويراه كل بشر جميعا لان فم الرب تكلم
6 The voice of one saying, “Cry out!” And I said, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.	6 صوت قائل ناد. فقال بماذا انادي. كل جسد عشب وكل جماله كزهر الحقل.
7 The grass has dried up, and the flower has fallen. For the Spirit of the Lord has blown over it. Truly, the people are like grass.	7 يبس العشب ذبل الزهر لان نفخة الرب هبت عليه. حقا الشعب عشب.
8 The grass has dried up, and the flower has fallen. But the Word of our Lord remains for eternity.”	8 يبس العشب ذبل الزهر واما كلمة الهنا فتثبت الى الابد
9 You who evangelize Zion, climb a high mountain! You who evangelize Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength! Lift it up! Do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah: “Behold, 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 Behold, the Lord God will arrive in strength, and his arm will rule. Behold, his reward is with him, and his work is before him.	10 هوذا السيد الرب بقوة يأتي وذراعه تحكم له. هوذا اجرته معه وعملته قدامه.
11 He will pasture his flock like a shepherd. He will gather together the lambs with his arm, and he will lift them up to his bosom, and he himself will carry the very young.	11 كراع يرعى قطيعه. بذراعه يجمع الحملان وفي حضنه يحملها ويقود المرضعات
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and who has weighed the heavens with his palm? Who has suspended the mass of the earth with three fingers, and who has weighed the mountains on a balance and the hills on a scale?	12 من كال بكفه المياه وقاس السموات بالشبر وكال بالكيل تراب الارض ووزن الجبال بالقبان والآكام بالميزان.
13 Who has assisted the Spirit of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor and has revealed things to him?	13 من قاس روح الرب ومن مشيره يعلمه.
14 With whom has he consulted? And who has instructed him, and taught him the path of justice, and guided him to knowledge, and revealed the way of understanding to him?	14 من استشاره فافهمه وعلمه في طريق الحق وعلمه معرفة وعرفه سبيل الفهم.
15 Behold, the nations are like a drop of water in a bucket, and they are considered as the smallest grain on a balance. Behold, the islands are like a little dust.	15 هوذا الامم كنقطة من دلو وكغبار الميزان تحسب هوذا الجزائر يرفعها كدقة.
16 And Lebanon will not be sufficient to start a fire, and its animals will not be sufficient for a burnt offering.	16 ولبنان ليس كافيا للايقاد وحيوانه ليس كافيا لمحرقة.
17 All the nations in his sight are as if they did not exist, and they are considered by him as if they were nothingness and emptiness.	17 كل الامم كلا شيء قدامه. من العدم والباطل تحسب عنده
18 Therefore, to whom would you liken God? Or with what image would you replace him?	18 فبمن تشبهون الله واي شبه تعادلون به.
19 Should the workman cast a statue? Or has the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?	19 الصنم يسبكه الصانع والصائغ يغشيه بذهب ويصوغ سلاسل فضة.
20 He has chosen strong wood that will not decay. The skillful artisan seeks a way to set up an idol that cannot be moved.	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? Has it not been announced to you from the beginning? Have you not understood the foundations of the earth?	21 ألا تعلمون. ألا تسمعون. ألم تخبروا من البداءه. ألم تفهموا من اساسات الارض
22 He is the One who sits upon the globe of the earth, and its inhabitants are like locusts. He extends the heavens as if they were nothing, and he spreads them out like a tent, in which to dwell.	22 الجالس على كرة الارض وسكانها كالجندب الذي ينشر السموات كسرادق ويبسطها كخيمة للسكن
23 He has brought those who examine what is secret to nothingness. He has brought the judges of the earth to emptiness.	23 الذي يجعل العظماء لا شيء ويصير قضاة الارض كالباطل.
24 And certainly, their stalk was neither planted, nor sown, nor rooted in the ground. He has suddenly blown them across them, and they have withered, and a whirlwind will carry them away like chaff.	24 لم يغرسوا بل لم يزرعوا ولم يتأصل في الارض ساقهم. فنفخ ايضا عليهم فجفوا والعاصف كالعصف يحملهم.
25 “And to whom would you compare me or equate me?” says the Holy One.	25 فبمن تشبهونني فاساويه يقول القدوس.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things. He leads forth their army by number, and he calls them all by name. Because of the fullness of his strength and robustness and virtue, not one of them was left behind.	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 do you say this, O Jacob, and why do you speak this way, O Israel? “My way has been hidden from the Lord, and my judgment escaped notice 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, who has created the limits of the earth. He does not diminish, and he does not struggle. Neither is his wisdom searchable.	28 أما عرفت ام لم تسمع. اله الدهر الرب خالق اطراف الارض لا يكل ولا يعيا ليس عن فهمه فحص.
29 It is he who gives strength to the weary, and it is he who increases fortitude and strength in those who are failing.	29 يعطي المعيي قدرة ولعديم القوة يكثر شدة.
30 Servants will struggle and fail, and young men will fall into infirmity.	30 الغلمان يعيون ويتعبون والفتيان يتعثرون تعثرا.
31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.	31 واما منتظروا الرب فيجددون قوة. يرفعون اجنحة كالنسور. يركضون ولا يتعبون يمشون ولا يعيون
