Isaiah the prophet
– by the spirit – castigates the sons of Israel
for their foolishness and rebukes them outright
because of the vileness of their deeds and their
sins. They rejected the miracles that Emmanuel
made, rejected his words full of grace and
leaned towards myths, vagaries and rejected the
glory of His divinity. O great prophet (Isaiah)
chastise these disobedient children and
fruitless trees for they have emulated their
fathers and followed on their heels: O Lord who
believes our word? And your arm, O Lord, to whom
announced? The voice of the Lord is his only
begotten Son who appeared in the flesh to the
sons of Israel. He showed in them His mercy and
His justice and nevertheless they did not obey
Him and did not believe in him. How could they
believe: Isaiah prophesized about them and said:
I blind their eyes, harden their hearts, deafen
their ears and their brains altogether. Listen O
Israel; no one else will save you from God’s
wrath but Jesus the Savior of the world, He who
made the two into one by his incarnation. The
light has come to His own and His own loved the
darkness and the gentiles accepted his
commandments and became His nation everywhere.
They experienced His mercy and His immeasurable
grace that He bestowed on them.

إشعياء النبي يصرخ
بالروح نحو الشعب الجاهل بني إسرائيل، يبكتهم بغير
محاباة من أجل دنس أعمالهم وآثامهم. لما ظهر
عمانوئيل وصنع أعمالاً تبهر العقول، فتعدوا أقواله
المملوءة نعمة ومالوا إلى الخرافات والأعمال
الباطلة، وجحدوا مجد لاهوته، أعنى الأبناء المرذولين والزرع الغير مثمر، بكت رأيهم أيها
النبي العظيم، لأنهم تشبهوا بآبائهم وكملوا
مكاييلهم فقال: يا رب من صدق خبرنا؟ وذراعك يا رب
لمن أعلنت ؟ إن صوت الرب هو إبنه الوحيد الذي
تراءى بالجسد لبني إسرائيل وعدله ورحمته أظهرهما
فيهم، ومع هذا لم يطيعوا ولم يؤمنوا به. كيف
يؤمنون وإشعياء سبق فنطق من أجلهم هكذا قائلاً :
إنه أطمس عيونهم وبلد قلوبهم وثقل آذانهم
وأفهامهم. أسمع يا إسرائيل، ليس آخر يقوم يخلص
شعبك من قبله إلا يسوع مخلص العالم الذي جعل
الاثنين واحداً بتجسده. جاء النور إلى خاصته
وخاصته لم تقبله، بل أحبوا الظلمة والشعوب الغربية
قبلت وصاياه وصارت له شعباً مجتمعاً في كل مكان،
وعرفوا رحمته وغزير نعمته التي أفاضها عليهم
كصلاحه.

المسيح مخلصنا جاء
وتألم عنا لكي بآلامه يخلصنا.

Let us glorify
Him, and exalt His Name, for He has done us
mercy, according to His great mercy.
