א
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יוּשַׁר הַשִּׁיר-הַזֶּה בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה; עִיר עָז-לָנוּ, יְשׁוּעָה יָשִׁית חוֹמוֹת וָחֵל.
|
1
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; walls and bulwarks doth He appoint for salvation.
|
|
ב
פִּתְחוּ, שְׁעָרִים; וְיָבֹא גוֹי-צַדִּיק, שֹׁמֵר אֱמֻנִים.
|
2
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation that keepeth faithfulness may enter in.
|
|
ג
יֵצֶר סָמוּךְ, תִּצֹּר שָׁלוֹם שָׁלוֹם: כִּי בְךָ, בָּטוּחַ.
|
3
The mind stayed on Thee Thou keepest in perfect peace; because it trusteth in Thee.
|
|
ד
בִּטְחוּ בַיהוָה, עֲדֵי-עַד: כִּי בְּיָהּ יְהוָה, צוּר עוֹלָמִים.
|
4
Trust ye in YAHOWAH for ever, for YAHOWAH is GOD, an everlasting Rock.
|
|
ה
כִּי הֵשַׁח יֹשְׁבֵי מָרוֹם, קִרְיָה נִשְׂגָּבָה; יַשְׁפִּילֶנָּה יַשְׁפִּילָהּ עַד-אֶרֶץ, יַגִּיעֶנָּה עַד-עָפָר.
|
5
For He hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city, laying it low, laying it low even to the ground, bringing it even to the dust.
|
|
ו
תִּרְמְסֶנָּה, רָגֶל; רַגְלֵי עָנִי, פַּעֲמֵי דַלִּים.
|
6
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
|
|
ז
אֹרַח לַצַּדִּיק, מֵישָׁרִים: יָשָׁר, מַעְגַּל צַדִּיק תְּפַלֵּס.
|
7
The way of the just is straight; Thou, Most Upright, makest plain the path of the just.
|
|
ח
אַף אֹרַח מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהוָה, קִוִּינוּךָ--לְשִׁמְךָ וּלְזִכְרְךָ, תַּאֲוַת-נָפֶשׁ.
|
8
Yea, in the way of Thy judgments, O YAHOWAH, have we waited for Thee; to Thy name and to Thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
|
|
ט
נַפְשִׁי אִוִּיתִךָ בַּלַּיְלָה, אַף-רוּחִי בְקִרְבִּי אֲשַׁחֲרֶךָּ: כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ, לָאָרֶץ--צֶדֶק לָמְדוּ, יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל.
|
9
With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
|
|
י
יֻחַן רָשָׁע בַּל-לָמַד צֶדֶק, בְּאֶרֶץ נְכֹחוֹת יְעַוֵּל; וּבַל-יִרְאֶה, גֵּאוּת יְהוָה. {פ}
|
10
Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of YAHOWAH.
{P}
|
|
יא
יְהוָה רָמָה יָדְךָ, בַּל-יֶחֱזָיוּן: יֶחֱזוּ וְיֵבֹשׁוּ קִנְאַת-עָם, אַף-אֵשׁ צָרֶיךָ תֹאכְלֵם. {ס}
|
11
YAHOWAH, Thy hand was lifted up, yet they see not; they shall see with shame Thy zeal for the people; yea, fire shall devour Thine adversaries.
{S}
|
|
יב
יְהוָה, תִּשְׁפֹּת שָׁלוֹם לָנוּ: כִּי גַּם כָּל-מַעֲשֵׂינוּ, פָּעַלְתָּ לָּנוּ. {ס}
|
12
YAHOWAH, Thou wilt establish peace for us; for Thou hast indeed wrought all our works for us.
{S}
|
|
יג
יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, בְּעָלוּנוּ אֲדֹנִים זוּלָתֶךָ; לְבַד-בְּךָ, נַזְכִּיר שְׁמֶךָ.
|
13
O YAHOWAH our Eloheem, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we make mention of Thy name.
|
|
יד
מֵתִים, בַּל-יִחְיוּ--רְפָאִים, בַּל-יָקֻמוּ; לָכֵן פָּקַדְתָּ וַתַּשְׁמִידֵם, וַתְּאַבֵּד כָּל-זֵכֶר לָמוֹ.
|
14
The dead live not, the shades rise not; to that end hast Thou punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
|
|
טו
יָסַפְתָּ לַגּוֹי יְהוָה, יָסַפְתָּ לַגּוֹי נִכְבָּדְתָּ; רִחַקְתָּ, כָּל-קַצְוֵי-אָרֶץ. {פ}
|
15
Thou hast gotten Thee honour with the nations, O YAHOWAH, yea, exceeding great honour with the nations; Thou art honoured unto the farthest ends of the earth.
{P}
|
|
טז
יְהוָה, בַּצַּר פְּקָדוּךָ; צָקוּן לַחַשׁ, מוּסָרְךָ לָמוֹ.
|
16
YAHOWAH, in trouble have they sought Thee, silently they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them.
|
|
יז
כְּמוֹ הָרָה תַּקְרִיב לָלֶדֶת, תָּחִיל תִּזְעַק בַּחֲבָלֶיהָ--כֵּן הָיִינוּ מִפָּנֶיךָ, יְהוָה.
|
17
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been at Thy presence, O YAHOWAH.
|
|
יח
הָרִינוּ חַלְנוּ, כְּמוֹ יָלַדְנוּ רוּחַ; יְשׁוּעֹת בַּל-נַעֲשֶׂה אֶרֶץ, וּבַל-יִפְּלוּ יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל.
|
18
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the land; neither are the inhabitants of the world come to life.
|
|
יט
יִחְיוּ מֵתֶיךָ, נְבֵלָתִי יְקוּמוּן; הָקִיצוּ וְרַנְּנוּ שֹׁכְנֵי עָפָר, כִּי טַל אוֹרֹת טַלֶּךָ, וָאָרֶץ, רְפָאִים תַּפִּיל. {פ}
|
19
Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise--awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust--for Thy dew is as the dew of light, and the earth shall bring to life the shades.
{P}
|
|
כ
לֵךְ עַמִּי בֹּא בַחֲדָרֶיךָ, וּסְגֹר דלתיך (דְּלָתְךָ) בַּעֲדֶךָ; חֲבִי כִמְעַט-רֶגַע, עַד-יעבור- (יַעֲבָר-) זָעַם.
|
20
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
|
|
כא
כִּי-הִנֵּה יְהוָה יֹצֵא מִמְּקוֹמוֹ, לִפְקֹד עֲון יֹשֵׁב-הָאָרֶץ עָלָיו; וְגִלְּתָה הָאָרֶץ אֶת-דָּמֶיהָ, וְלֹא-תְכַסֶּה עוֹד עַל-הֲרוּגֶיהָ. {פ}
|
21
For, behold, YAHOWAH cometh forth out of His place to visit upon the inhabitants of the earth their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
{P}
