א
חֲזוֹן, יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶן-אָמוֹץ, אֲשֶׁר חָזָה, עַל-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָם--בִּימֵי עֻזִּיָּהוּ יוֹתָם אָחָז יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ, מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה.
|
1
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
|
|
ב
שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמַיִם וְהַאֲזִינִי אֶרֶץ, כִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר: בָּנִים גִּדַּלְתִּי וְרוֹמַמְתִּי, וְהֵם פָּשְׁעוּ בִי.
|
2
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for YAHOWAH hath spoken: Children I have reared, and brought up, and they have rebelled against Me.
|
|
ג
יָדַע שׁוֹר קֹנֵהוּ, וַחֲמוֹר אֵבוּס בְּעָלָיו; יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יָדַע, עַמִּי לֹא הִתְבּוֹנָן.
|
3
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Yisrael doth not know, My people doth not consider.
|
|
ד
הוֹי גּוֹי חֹטֵא, עַם כֶּבֶד עָון--זֶרַע מְרֵעִים, בָּנִים מַשְׁחִיתִים; עָזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה, נִאֲצוּ אֶת-קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל--נָזֹרוּ אָחוֹר.
|
4
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly; they have forsaken YAHOWAH, they have contemned the Holy One of Yisrael, they are turned away backward.
|
|
ה
עַל מֶה תֻכּוּ עוֹד, תּוֹסִיפוּ סָרָה; כָּל-רֹאשׁ לָחֳלִי, וְכָל-לֵבָב דַּוָּי.
|
5
On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
|
|
ו
מִכַּף-רֶגֶל וְעַד-רֹאשׁ אֵין-בּוֹ מְתֹם, פֶּצַע וְחַבּוּרָה וּמַכָּה טְרִיָּה; לֹא-זֹרוּ וְלֹא חֻבָּשׁוּ, וְלֹא רֻכְּכָה בַּשָּׁמֶן.
|
6
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.
|
|
ז
אַרְצְכֶם שְׁמָמָה, עָרֵיכֶם שְׂרֻפוֹת אֵשׁ; אַדְמַתְכֶם, לְנֶגְדְּכֶם זָרִים אֹכְלִים אֹתָהּ, וּשְׁמָמָה, כְּמַהְפֵּכַת זָרִים.
|
7
Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.
|
|
ח
וְנוֹתְרָה בַת-צִיּוֹן, כְּסֻכָּה בְכָרֶם; כִּמְלוּנָה בְמִקְשָׁה, כְּעִיר נְצוּרָה.
|
8
And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
|
|
ט
לוּלֵי יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, הוֹתִיר לָנוּ שָׂרִיד כִּמְעָט--כִּסְדֹם הָיִינוּ, לַעֲמֹרָה דָּמִינוּ. {פ}
|
9
Except YAHOWAH of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
{P}
|
|
י
שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר-יְהוָה, קְצִינֵי סְדֹם; הַאֲזִינוּ תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהֵינוּ, עַם עֲמֹרָה.
|
10
Hear the word of YAHOWAH, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our Eloheem, ye people of Gomorrah.
|
|
יא
לָמָּה-לִּי רֹב-זִבְחֵיכֶם יֹאמַר יְהוָה, שָׂבַעְתִּי עֹלוֹת אֵילִים וְחֵלֶב מְרִיאִים; וְדַם פָּרִים וּכְבָשִׂים וְעַתּוּדִים, לֹא חָפָצְתִּי.
|
11
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith YAHOWAH; I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
|
|
יב
כִּי תָבֹאוּ, לֵרָאוֹת פָּנָי--מִי-בִקֵּשׁ זֹאת מִיֶּדְכֶם, רְמֹס חֲצֵרָי.
|
12
When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample My courts?
|
|
יג
לֹא תוֹסִיפוּ, הָבִיא מִנְחַת-שָׁוְא--קְטֹרֶת תּוֹעֵבָה הִיא, לִי; חֹדֶשׁ וְשַׁבָּת קְרֹא מִקְרָא, לֹא-אוּכַל אָוֶן וַעֲצָרָה.
|
13
Bring no more vain oblations; it is an offering of abomination unto Me; new moon and sabbath, the holding of convocations--I cannot endure iniquity along with the solemn assembly.
|
|
יד
חָדְשֵׁיכֶם וּמוֹעֲדֵיכֶם שָׂנְאָה נַפְשִׁי, הָיוּ עָלַי לָטֹרַח; נִלְאֵיתִי, נְשֹׂא.
|
14
Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.
|
|
טו
וּבְפָרִשְׂכֶם כַּפֵּיכֶם, אַעְלִים עֵינַי מִכֶּם--גַּם כִּי-תַרְבּוּ תְפִלָּה, אֵינֶנִּי שֹׁמֵעַ: יְדֵיכֶם, דָּמִים מָלֵאוּ.
|
15
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
|
|
טז
רַחֲצוּ, הִזַּכּוּ--הָסִירוּ רֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיכֶם, מִנֶּגֶד עֵינָי: חִדְלוּ, הָרֵעַ.
|
16
Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil;
|
|
יז
לִמְדוּ הֵיטֵב דִּרְשׁוּ מִשְׁפָּט, אַשְּׁרוּ חָמוֹץ; שִׁפְטוּ יָתוֹם, רִיבוּ אַלְמָנָה. {ס}
|
17
Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
{S}
|
|
יח
לְכוּ-נָא וְנִוָּכְחָה, יֹאמַר יְהוָה; אִם-יִהְיוּ חֲטָאֵיכֶם כַּשָּׁנִים כַּשֶּׁלֶג יַלְבִּינוּ, אִם-יַאְדִּימוּ כַתּוֹלָע כַּצֶּמֶר יִהְיוּ.
|
18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith YAHOWAH; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
|
|
יט
אִם-תֹּאבוּ, וּשְׁמַעְתֶּם--טוּב הָאָרֶץ, תֹּאכֵלוּ.
|
19
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land;
|
|
כ
וְאִם-תְּמָאֲנוּ, וּמְרִיתֶם--חֶרֶב תְּאֻכְּלוּ, כִּי פִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר. {פ}
|
20
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of YAHOWAH hath spoken.
{P}
|
|
כא
אֵיכָה הָיְתָה לְזוֹנָה, קִרְיָה נֶאֱמָנָה; מְלֵאֲתִי מִשְׁפָּט, צֶדֶק יָלִין בָּהּ--וְעַתָּה מְרַצְּחִים.
|
21
How is the faithful city become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
|
|
כב
כַּסְפֵּךְ, הָיָה לְסִיגִים; סָבְאֵךְ, מָהוּל בַּמָּיִם.
|
22
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
|
|
כג
שָׂרַיִךְ סוֹרְרִים, וְחַבְרֵי גַּנָּבִים--כֻּלּוֹ אֹהֵב שֹׁחַד, וְרֹדֵף שַׁלְמֹנִים; יָתוֹם לֹא יִשְׁפֹּטוּ, וְרִיב אַלְמָנָה לֹא-יָבוֹא אֲלֵיהֶם. {ס}
|
23
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
{S}
|
|
כד
לָכֵן, נְאֻם הָאָדוֹן יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת--אֲבִיר, יִשְׂרָאֵל: הוֹי אֶנָּחֵם מִצָּרַי, וְאִנָּקְמָה מֵאוֹיְבָי.
|
24
Therefore saith YAHOWAH, YAHOWAH of hosts, the Mighty One of Yisrael: Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries, and avenge Me of Mine enemies;
|
|
כה
וְאָשִׁיבָה יָדִי עָלַיִךְ, וְאֶצְרֹף כַּבֹּר סִיגָיִךְ; וְאָסִירָה, כָּל-בְּדִילָיִךְ.
|
25
And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purge away thy dross as with lye, and will take away all thine alloy;
|
|
כו
וְאָשִׁיבָה שֹׁפְטַיִךְ כְּבָרִאשֹׁנָה, וְיֹעֲצַיִךְ כְּבַתְּחִלָּה; אַחֲרֵי-כֵן, יִקָּרֵא לָךְ עִיר הַצֶּדֶק--קִרְיָה, נֶאֱמָנָה.
|
26
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
|
|
כז
צִיּוֹן, בְּמִשְׁפָּט תִּפָּדֶה; וְשָׁבֶיהָ, בִּצְדָקָה.
|
27
Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with righteousness.
|
|
כח
וְשֶׁבֶר פֹּשְׁעִים וְחַטָּאִים, יַחְדָּו; וְעֹזְבֵי יְהוָה, יִכְלוּ.
|
28
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake YAHOWAH shall be consumed.
|
|
כט
כִּי יֵבֹשׁוּ, מֵאֵילִים אֲשֶׁר חֲמַדְתֶּם; וְתַחְפְּרוּ--מֵהַגַּנּוֹת, אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם.
|
29
For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
|
|
ל
כִּי תִהְיוּ, כְּאֵלָה נֹבֶלֶת עָלֶהָ; וּכְגַנָּה, אֲשֶׁר-מַיִם אֵין לָהּ.
|
30
For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
|
|
לא
וְהָיָה הֶחָסֹן לִנְעֹרֶת, וּפֹעֲלוֹ לְנִיצוֹץ; וּבָעֲרוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחְדָּו, וְאֵין מְכַבֶּה. {פ}
|
31
And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
{P}
