إشعياء 50:1-11

خطيئة إسرائيل وطاعة الخادم

1هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَيْنَ كِتَابُ طَلاقِ أُمِّكُمُ الَّذِي طَلَّقْتُهَا بِهِ؟ لِمَنْ مِنْ دَائِنِيَّ بِعْتُكُمْ؟ إِنَّمَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ قَدْ تَمَّ بَيْعُكُمْ، وَمِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطَايَاكُمْ قَدْ طُلِّقَتْ أُمُّكُمْ. 2فَمَالِي إِذاً حِينَ أَتَيْتُ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَداً؟ نَادَيْتُ وَلا مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ هَلْ قَصَرَتْ يَدِي عَنِ الْفِدَاءِ؟ أَمْ لَمْ تَعُدْ لِي طَاقَةٌ عَلَى الإِنْقَاذِ؟ هَا أَنَا بِزَجْرَتِي أُجَفِّفُ الْبَحْرَ وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى صَحْرَاءَ يُنْتِنُ سَمَكُهَا لِخُلُوِّهَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ، فَيَمُوتُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ. 3أُغَلِّفُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بالظُّلْمَةِ وَأَجْعَلُ الْمِسْحَ غِطَاءً لَهَا.

4السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ وَهَبَنِي مَنْطِقَ الْعُلَمَاءِ لأَعْرِفَ كَيْفَ أُغِيثُ الْمُتْعَبَ بِكَلِمَةٍ، يُنَبِّهُنِي فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، وَيُرْهِفُ أُذُنِي حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ بِانْتِبَاهِ الْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ. 5قَدْ فَتَحَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أُذُنِي فَلَمْ أُعَانِدْ أَوْ أَتَرَاجَعْ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ 6بَذَلْتُ ظَهْرِي لِلضَّارِبِينَ، وَخَدَّيَّ لِلنَّاتِفِينَ، وَلَمْ أَحْجُبْ وَجْهِي عَنِ الإِهَانَةِ وَالْبَصْقِ.

7لأَنَّ السَّيِّدَ الرَّبَّ يُغِيثُنِي فَلا أَخْزَى، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي كَالصَّوَّانِ، لأَنِّي عَالِمٌ أَنَّنِي لَنْ أَخْزَى. 8إِنَّ مُنْصِفِي قَرِيبٌ، فَمَنْ إِذاً يُخَاصِمُنِي؟ فَلْنَمْثُلْ مَعاً. مَنْ هُوَ خَصْمِي؟ فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ مِنِّي. 9انْظُرُوا، هَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ يُغِيثُنِي فَمَنْ يَسْتَذْنِبُنِي؟ هَا هُمْ جَمِيعاً كَثَوْبٍ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَأْكُلُهُمُ الْعُثُّ.

10مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ وَيُطِيعُ صَوْتَ خَادِمِهِ؟ مَنِ الَّذِي يَسْلُكُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ نُورٍ؟ فَلْيَتَّكِلْ عَلَى اسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَيَعْتَمِدْ عَلَى إِلَهِهِ. 11انْظُرُوا، يَا جَمِيعَ مُوْقِدِي النَّارِ، الَّذِينَ يُضِيئُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَشَاعِلَ، سِيرُوا فِي نُورِ نِيرَانِكُمْ، وَعَلَى وَهْجِ مَشَاعِلِكُمُ الَّتِي أَوْقَدْتُمُوهَا، وَهَذَا مَا تَنَالُونَهُ مِنْ يَدِي؛ تَضْطَجِعُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَتَضَوَّرُونَ مِنَ الأَلَمِ.

New International Reader’s Version

Isaiah 50:1-11

Israel Sins but the Lord’s Servant Obeys

1The Lord says to the people in Jerusalem,

“Do you think I divorced your people who lived before you?

Is that why I sent them away?

If it is, show me the letter of divorce.

I did not sell you into slavery to pay someone I owe.

You were sold because you sinned against me.

Your people were sent away because of their lawless acts.

2When I came to save you, why didn’t anyone welcome me?

When I called out to you, why didn’t anyone answer me?

Wasn’t I powerful enough to set you free?

Wasn’t I strong enough to save you?

I dry up the sea with a single command.

I turn rivers into a desert.

Then fish rot because they do not have any water.

They die because they are thirsty.

3I make the sky turn dark.

It looks as if it’s dressed in clothing sad people wear.”

4The Lord and King has taught me what to say.

He has taught me how to help those who are tired.

He wakes me up every morning.

He makes me want to listen like a good student.

5The Lord and King has unplugged my ears.

I’ve always obeyed him.

I haven’t turned away from him.

6I let my enemies beat me on my bare back.

I let them pull the hair out of my beard.

I didn’t turn my face away

when they made fun of me and spit on me.

7The Lord and King helps me.

He won’t let me be dishonored.

So I’ve made up my mind to keep on serving him.

I know he won’t let me be put to shame.

8He is near. He will prove I haven’t done anything wrong.

So who will bring charges against me?

Let’s face each other in court!

Who can bring charges against me?

Let him come and face me!

9The Lord and King helps me.

So who will judge me?

My enemies will be like clothes that moths have eaten up.

My enemies will disappear.

10Does anyone among you have respect for the Lord?

Does anyone obey the message of the Lord’s servant?

Let the person who walks in the dark

trust in the Lord.

Let the one who doesn’t have any light to guide them

depend on their God.

11But all you sinners who light fires

should go ahead and walk in their light.

You who carry flaming torches

should walk in their light.

Here’s what I’m going to do to you.

I’ll make you lie down in great pain.
