¹ها ان يد الرب لم تقصر عن ان تخلّص ولم تثقل اذنه عن ان تسمع.

¹Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.

²بل آثامكم صارت فاصلة بينكم وبين الهكم وخطاياكم سترت وجهه عنكم حتى لا يسمع.

²But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you — from hearing.

³لان ايديكم قد تنجست بالدم واصابعكم بالاثم. شفاهكم تكلمت بالكذب ولسانكم يلهج بالشر.

³For your hands have been polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue perverseness doth mutter.

⁴ليس من يدعو بالعدل وليس من يحاكم بالحق. يتكلون على الباطل ويتكلمون بالكذب. قد حبلوا بتعب وولدوا اثما.

⁴There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.

⁵فقسوا بيض افعى ونسجوا خيوط العنكبوت. الآكل من بيضهم يموت والتي تكسر تخرج افعى.

⁵Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth a viper.

⁶خيوطهم لا تصير ثوبا ولا يكتسون باعمالهم. اعمالهم اعمال اثم وفعل الظلم في ايديهم.

⁶Their webs become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands.

⁷ارجلهم الى الشر تجري وتسرع الى سفك الدم الزكي. افكارهم افكار اثم. في طرقهم اغتصاب وسحق.

⁷Their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.

⁸طريق السلام لم يعرفوه وليس في مسالكهم عدل. جعلوا لانفسهم سبلا معوجة. كل من يسير فيها لا يعرف سلاما

⁸A way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse for themselves, No treader in it hath known peace.

⁹من اجل ذلك ابتعد الحق عنا ولم يدركنا العدل. ننتظر نورا فاذا ظلام. ضياء فنسير في ظلام دامس.

⁹Therefore hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For brightness — in thick darkness we go,

¹⁰نتلمس الحائط كعمي وكالذي بلا اعين نتجسس. قد عثرنا في الظهر كما في العتمة. في الضباب كموتى.

¹⁰We feel like the blind [for] the wall, Yea, as without eyes we feel, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.

¹¹نزأر كلنا كدبة وكحمام هدرا نهدر. ننتظر عدلا وليس هو وخلاصا فيبتعد عنا.

¹¹We make a noise as bears — all of us, And as doves we coo sorely; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation — it hath been far from us.

¹²لان معاصينا كثرت امامك وخطايانا تشهد علينا لان معاصينا معنا وآثامنا نعرفها.

¹²For our transgressions have been multiplied before Thee, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities — we have known them.

¹³تعدينا وكذبنا على الرب وحدنا من وراء الهنا. تكلمنا بالظلم والمعصية حبلنا ولهجنا من القلب بكلام الكذب.

¹³Transgressing, and lying against Jehovah, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostacy, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.

¹⁴وقد ارتد الحق الى الوراء والعدل يقف بعيدا. لان الصدق سقط في الشارع والاستقامة لا تستطيع الدخول.

¹⁴And removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,

¹⁵وصار الصدق معدوما والحائد عن الشر يسلب. فرأى الرب وساء في عينيه انه ليس عدل

¹⁵And the truth is lacking, And whoso is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And Jehovah seeth, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.

¹⁶فرأى انه ليس انسان وتحيّر من انه ليس شفيع. فخلّصت ذراعه لنفسه وبره هو عضده.

¹⁶And He seeth that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm giveth salvation to Him, And His righteousness — it sustained Him.

¹⁷فلبس البر كدرع وخوذة الخلاص على راسه. ولبس ثياب الانتقام كلباس واكتسى بالغيرة كرداء.

¹⁷And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.

¹⁸حسب الاعمال هكذا يجازي مبغضيه سخطا واعداءه عقابا. جزاء يجازي الجزائر.

¹⁸According to deeds — so He repayeth. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the isles [their] deed He repayeth.

¹⁹فيخافون من المغرب اسم الرب ومن مشرق الشمس مجده. عندما يأتي العدو كنهر فنفخة الرب تدفعه

¹⁹And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun — His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.

²⁰ويأتي الفادي الى صهيون والى التائبين عن المعصية في يعقوب يقول الرب

²⁰And come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.

²¹اما انا فهذا عهدي معهم قال الرب. روحي الذي عليك وكلامي الذي وضعته في فمك لا يزول من فمك ولا من فم نسلك ولا من فم نسل نسلك قال الرب من الآن والى الابد

²¹And I — this [is] My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that [is] on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed`s seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!
