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

¹Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear;

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

²but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he doth not hear.

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

³For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak lies, your tongue muttereth unrighteousness:

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

⁴none calleth for justice, none pleadeth in truthfulness. They trust in vanity, and speak falsehood; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

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

⁵They hatch serpents' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

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

⁶Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

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

⁷Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths;

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

⁸the way of peace they know not, and there is no judgment in their goings; they have made their paths crooked: whoso goeth therein knoweth not peace.

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

⁹Therefore is justice far from us, and righteousness overtaketh us not: we wait for light, and behold darkness; for brightness, [but] we walk in obscurity.

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

¹⁰We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at midday as in the twilight; amongst the flourishing we are as the dead.

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

¹¹We roar all like bears, and mourn grievously like doves: we look for judgment, and there is none; for salvation, [but] it is far from us.

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

¹²For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us; and our iniquities, we know them:

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

¹³in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, 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 judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth stumbleth in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

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

¹⁵And truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw [it], and it was evil in his sight that there was no judgment.

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

¹⁶And he saw that there was no man, and he wondered that there was no intercessor; and his arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness, it sustained him.

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

¹⁷And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

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

¹⁸According to deeds, so will he repay: fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

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

¹⁹And they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and from the rising of the sun, his glory. When the adversary shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah will lift up a banner against him.

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

²⁰And the Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith 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 as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
