א
קִרְבוּ גוֹיִם לִשְׁמֹעַ, וּלְאֻמִּים הַקְשִׁיבוּ; תִּשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ וּמְלֹאָהּ, תֵּבֵל וְכָל-צֶאֱצָאֶיהָ.
|
1
Come near, ye nations, to hear, and attend, ye peoples; let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, the world, and all things that come forth of it.
|
|
ב
כִּי קֶצֶף לַיהוָה עַל-כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם, וְחֵמָה עַל-כָּל-צְבָאָם; הֶחֱרִימָם, נְתָנָם לַטָּבַח.
|
2
For YAHOWAH hath indignation against all the nations, and fury against all their host; He hath utterly destroyed them, He hath delivered them to the slaughter.
|
|
ג
וְחַלְלֵיהֶם יֻשְׁלָכוּ, וּפִגְרֵיהֶם יַעֲלֶה בָאְשָׁם; וְנָמַסּוּ הָרִים, מִדָּמָם.
|
3
Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stench of their carcasses shall come up, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
|
|
ד
וְנָמַקּוּ כָּל-צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְנָגֹלּוּ כַסֵּפֶר הַשָּׁמָיִם; וְכָל-צְבָאָם יִבּוֹל--כִּנְבֹל עָלֶה מִגֶּפֶן, וּכְנֹבֶלֶת מִתְּאֵנָה.
|
4
And all the host of heaven shall moulder away, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig-tree.
|
|
ה
כִּי-רִוְּתָה בַשָּׁמַיִם, חַרְבִּי; הִנֵּה עַל-אֱדוֹם תֵּרֵד, וְעַל-עַם חֶרְמִי לְמִשְׁפָּט.
|
5
For My sword hath drunk its fill in heaven; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of My ban, to judgment.
|
|
ו
חֶרֶב לַיהוָה מָלְאָה דָם, הֻדַּשְׁנָה מֵחֵלֶב, מִדַּם כָּרִים וְעַתּוּדִים, מֵחֵלֶב כִּלְיוֹת אֵילִים: כִּי זֶבַח לַיהוָה בְּבָצְרָה, וְטֶבַח גָּדוֹל בְּאֶרֶץ אֱדוֹם.
|
6
The sword of YAHOWAH is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for YAHOWAH hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
|
|
ז
וְיָרְדוּ רְאֵמִים עִמָּם, וּפָרִים עִם-אַבִּירִים; וְרִוְּתָה אַרְצָם מִדָּם, וַעֲפָרָם מֵחֵלֶב יְדֻשָּׁן.
|
7
And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
|
|
ח
כִּי יוֹם נָקָם, לַיהוָה--שְׁנַת שִׁלּוּמִים, לְרִיב צִיּוֹן.
|
8
For YAHOWAH hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.
|
|
ט
וְנֶהֶפְכוּ נְחָלֶיהָ לְזֶפֶת, וַעֲפָרָהּ לְגָפְרִית; וְהָיְתָה אַרְצָהּ, לְזֶפֶת בֹּעֵרָה.
|
9
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
|
|
י
לַיְלָה וְיוֹמָם לֹא תִכְבֶּה, לְעוֹלָם יַעֲלֶה עֲשָׁנָהּ; מִדּוֹר לָדוֹר, תֶּחֱרָב--לְנֵצַח נְצָחִים, אֵין עֹבֵר בָּהּ.
|
10
It shall not be quenched night nor day, the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste: none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
|
|
יא
וִירֵשׁוּהָ קָאַת וְקִפּוֹד, וְיַנְשׁוֹף וְעֹרֵב יִשְׁכְּנוּ-בָהּ; וְנָטָה עָלֶיהָ קַו-תֹהוּ, וְאַבְנֵי-בֹהוּ.
|
11
But the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein; and He shall stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.
|
|
יב
חֹרֶיהָ וְאֵין-שָׁם, מְלוּכָה יִקְרָאוּ; וְכָל-שָׂרֶיהָ, יִהְיוּ אָפֶס.
|
12
As for her nobles, none shall be there to be called to the kingdom; and all her princes shall be nothing.
|
|
יג
וְעָלְתָה אַרְמְנֹתֶיהָ סִירִים, קִמּוֹשׂ וָחוֹחַ בְּמִבְצָרֶיהָ; וְהָיְתָה נְוֵה תַנִּים, חָצִיר לִבְנוֹת יַעֲנָה.
|
13
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of wild-dogs, an enclosure for ostriches.
|
|
יד
וּפָגְשׁוּ צִיִּים אֶת-אִיִּים, וְשָׂעִיר עַל-רֵעֵהוּ יִקְרָא; אַךְ-שָׁם הִרְגִּיעָה לִּילִית, וּמָצְאָה לָהּ מָנוֹחַ.
|
14
And the wild-cats shall meet with the jackals, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall repose there, and shall find her a place of rest.
|
|
טו
שָׁמָּה קִנְּנָה קִפּוֹז וַתְּמַלֵּט, וּבָקְעָה וְדָגְרָה בְצִלָּהּ; אַךְ-שָׁם נִקְבְּצוּ דַיּוֹת, אִשָּׁה רְעוּתָהּ.
|
15
There shall the arrowsnake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and brood under her shadow; yea, there shall the kites be gathered, every one with her mate.
|
|
טז
דִּרְשׁוּ מֵעַל-סֵפֶר יְהוָה, וּקְרָאוּ--אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה לֹא נֶעְדָּרָה, אִשָּׁה רְעוּתָהּ לֹא פָקָדוּ: כִּי-פִי הוּא צִוָּה, וְרוּחוֹ הוּא קִבְּצָן.
|
16
Seek ye out of the book of YAHOWAH, and read; no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate; for My mouth it hath commanded, and the breath thereof it hath gathered them.
|
|
יז
וְהוּא-הִפִּיל לָהֶן גּוֹרָל, וְיָדוֹ חִלְּקַתָּה לָהֶם בַּקָּו; עַד-עוֹלָם, יִירָשׁוּהָ--לְדוֹר וָדוֹר, יִשְׁכְּנוּ-בָהּ. {ס}
|
17
And He hath cast the lot for them, and His hand hath divided it unto them by line; they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
{S}
