כָּרַע בֵּל, קֹרֵס נְבוֹ--הָיוּ עֲצַבֵּיהֶם, לַחַיָּה וְלַבְּהֵמָה; נְשֻׂאֹתֵיכֶם עֲמוּסוֹת, מַשָּׂא לַעֲיֵפָה.

Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
|
|
ב
קָרְסוּ כָרְעוּ יַחְדָּו, לֹא יָכְלוּ מַלֵּט מַשָּׂא; וְנַפְשָׁם, בַּשְּׁבִי הָלָכָה. {פ}

ג
שִׁמְעוּ אֵלַי בֵּית יַעֲקֹב, וְכָל-שְׁאֵרִית בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל--הַעֲמֻסִים, מִנִּי-בֶטֶן, הַנְּשֻׂאִים, מִנִּי-רָחַם.

3
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Yisrael, that are borne [by Me] from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
|
|
ד
וְעַד-זִקְנָה אֲנִי הוּא, וְעַד-שֵׂיבָה אֲנִי אֶסְבֹּל; אֲנִי עָשִׂיתִי וַאֲנִי אֶשָּׂא, וַאֲנִי אֶסְבֹּל וַאֲמַלֵּט. {ס}
|
4
Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.

ו
הַזָּלִים זָהָב מִכִּיס, וְכֶסֶף בַּקָּנֶה יִשְׁקֹלוּ; יִשְׂכְּרוּ צוֹרֵף וְיַעֲשֵׂהוּ אֵל, יִסְגְּדוּ אַף-יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ.
|
6
Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.

יִשָּׂאֻהוּ עַל-כָּתֵף יִסְבְּלֻהוּ וְיַנִּיחֻהוּ תַחְתָּיו, וְיַעֲמֹד--מִמְּקוֹמוֹ, לֹא יָמִישׁ; אַף-יִצְעַק אֵלָיו וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה, מִצָּרָתוֹ לֹא יוֹשִׁיעֶנּוּ. {ס}
|
7
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
{S}
|
|
ח
זִכְרוּ-זֹאת, וְהִתְאֹשָׁשׁוּ; הָשִׁיבוּ פוֹשְׁעִים, עַל-לֵב.
|
8
Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
|
|
ט
זִכְרוּ רִאשֹׁנוֹת, מֵעוֹלָם: כִּי אָנֹכִי אֵל וְאֵין עוֹד, אֱלֹהִים וְאֶפֶס כָּמוֹנִי.
|
9
Remember the former things of old: that I am Eloheem, and there is none else; I am Eloheem, and there is none like Me;
|
|
י
מַגִּיד מֵרֵאשִׁית אַחֲרִית, וּמִקֶּדֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא-נַעֲשׂוּ; אֹמֵר עֲצָתִי תָקוּם, וְכָל-חֶפְצִי אֶעֱשֶׂה.
|
10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
|

יא
קֹרֵא מִמִּזְרָח עַיִט, מֵאֶרֶץ מֶרְחָק אִישׁ עצתו (עֲצָתִי); אַף-דִּבַּרְתִּי, אַף-אֲבִיאֶנָּה--יָצַרְתִּי, אַף-אֶעֱשֶׂנָּה. {ס}
|

Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
|
|
יג
קֵרַבְתִּי צִדְקָתִי לֹא תִרְחָק, וּתְשׁוּעָתִי לֹא תְאַחֵר; וְנָתַתִּי בְצִיּוֹן תְּשׁוּעָה, לְיִשְׂרָאֵל תִּפְאַרְתִּי. {ס}
|
13
I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Yisrael My glory.
{S}
