א
שִׁמְעוּ אֵלַי רֹדְפֵי צֶדֶק, מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה; הַבִּיטוּ אֶל-צוּר חֻצַּבְתֶּם, וְאֶל-מַקֶּבֶת בּוֹר נֻקַּרְתֶּם.
|
1
Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek YAHOWAH; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
|
|
ב
הַבִּיטוּ אֶל-אַבְרָהָם אֲבִיכֶם, וְאֶל-שָׂרָה תְּחוֹלֶלְכֶם: כִּי-אֶחָד קְרָאתִיו, וַאֲבָרְכֵהוּ וְאַרְבֵּהוּ.
|
2
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
|
|
ג
כִּי-נִחַם יְהוָה צִיּוֹן, נִחַם כָּל-חָרְבֹתֶיהָ, וַיָּשֶׂם מִדְבָּרָהּ כְּעֵדֶן, וְעַרְבָתָהּ כְּגַן-יְהוָה; שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה יִמָּצֵא בָהּ, תּוֹדָה וְקוֹל זִמְרָה. {ס}
|
3
For YAHOWAH hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of YAHOWAH; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
{S}
|
|
ד
הַקְשִׁיבוּ אֵלַי עַמִּי, וּלְאוּמִּי אֵלַי הַאֲזִינוּ: כִּי תוֹרָה, מֵאִתִּי תֵצֵא, וּמִשְׁפָּטִי, לְאוֹר עַמִּים אַרְגִּיעַ.
|
4
Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.
|
|
ה
קָרוֹב צִדְקִי יָצָא יִשְׁעִי, וּזְרֹעַי עַמִּים יִשְׁפֹּטוּ; אֵלַי אִיִּים יְקַוּוּ, וְאֶל-זְרֹעִי יְיַחֵלוּן.
|
5
My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.
|
|
ו
שְׂאוּ לַשָּׁמַיִם עֵינֵיכֶם וְהַבִּיטוּ אֶל-הָאָרֶץ מִתַּחַת, כִּי-שָׁמַיִם כֶּעָשָׁן נִמְלָחוּ וְהָאָרֶץ כַּבֶּגֶד תִּבְלֶה--וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ, כְּמוֹ-כֵן יְמוּתוּן; וִישׁוּעָתִי לְעוֹלָם תִּהְיֶה, וְצִדְקָתִי לֹא תֵחָת. {פ}
|
6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished.
{P}
|
|
ז
שִׁמְעוּ אֵלַי יֹדְעֵי צֶדֶק, עַם תּוֹרָתִי בְלִבָּם: אַל-תִּירְאוּ חֶרְפַּת אֱנוֹשׁ, וּמִגִּדֻּפֹתָם אַל-תֵּחָתּוּ.
|
7
Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
|
|
ח
כִּי כַבֶּגֶד יֹאכְלֵם עָשׁ, וְכַצֶּמֶר יֹאכְלֵם סָס; וְצִדְקָתִי לְעוֹלָם תִּהְיֶה, וִישׁוּעָתִי לְדוֹר דּוֹרִים. {ס}
|
8
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations.
{S}
|
|
ט
עוּרִי עוּרִי לִבְשִׁי-עֹז, זְרוֹעַ יְהוָה--עוּרִי כִּימֵי קֶדֶם, דֹּרוֹת עוֹלָמִים; הֲלוֹא אַתְּ-הִיא הַמַּחְצֶבֶת רַהַב, מְחוֹלֶלֶת תַּנִּין.
|
9
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of YAHOWAH; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon?
|
|
י
הֲלוֹא אַתְּ-הִיא הַמַּחֲרֶבֶת יָם, מֵי תְּהוֹם רַבָּה; הַשָּׂמָה, מַעֲמַקֵּי-יָם--דֶּרֶךְ, לַעֲבֹר גְּאוּלִים.
|
10
Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
|
|
יא
וּפְדוּיֵי יְהוָה יְשׁוּבוּן, וּבָאוּ צִיּוֹן בְּרִנָּה, וְשִׂמְחַת עוֹלָם, עַל-רֹאשָׁם; שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה יַשִּׂיגוּן, נָסוּ יָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה. {ס}
|
11
And the ransomed of YAHOWAH shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
{S}
|
|
יב
אָנֹכִי אָנֹכִי הוּא, מְנַחֶמְכֶם; מִי-אַתְּ וַתִּירְאִי מֵאֱנוֹשׁ יָמוּת, וּמִבֶּן-אָדָם חָצִיר יִנָּתֵן.
|
12
I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
|
|
יג
וַתִּשְׁכַּח יְהוָה עֹשֶׂךָ, נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם וְיֹסֵד אָרֶץ, וַתְּפַחֵד תָּמִיד כָּל-הַיּוֹם מִפְּנֵי חֲמַת הַמֵּצִיק, כַּאֲשֶׁר כּוֹנֵן לְהַשְׁחִית; וְאַיֵּה, חֲמַת הַמֵּצִיק.
|
13
And hast forgotten YAHOWAH thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
|
|
יד
מִהַר צֹעֶה, לְהִפָּתֵחַ; וְלֹא-יָמוּת לַשַּׁחַת, וְלֹא יֶחְסַר לַחְמוֹ.
|
14
He that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
|
|
טו
וְאָנֹכִי, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, רֹגַע הַיָּם, וַיֶּהֱמוּ גַּלָּיו; יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, שְׁמוֹ.
|
15
For I am YAHOWAH thy Eloheem, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; YAHOWAH of hosts is His name.
|
|
טז
וָאָשִׂם דְּבָרַי בְּפִיךָ, וּבְצֵל יָדִי כִּסִּיתִיךָ; לִנְטֹעַ שָׁמַיִם וְלִיסֹד אָרֶץ, וְלֵאמֹר לְצִיּוֹן עַמִּי-אָתָּה. {ס}
|
16
And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: 'Thou art My people.'
{S}
|
|
יז
הִתְעוֹרְרִי הִתְעוֹרְרִי, קוּמִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם, אֲשֶׁר שָׁתִית מִיַּד יְהוָה, אֶת-כּוֹס חֲמָתוֹ; אֶת-קֻבַּעַת כּוֹס הַתַּרְעֵלָה, שָׁתִית--מָצִית.
|
17
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of YAHOWAH the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.
|
|
יח
אֵין-מְנַהֵל לָהּ, מִכָּל-בָּנִים יָלָדָה; וְאֵין מַחֲזִיק בְּיָדָהּ, מִכָּל-בָּנִים גִּדֵּלָה.
|
18
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
|
|
יט
שְׁתַּיִם הֵנָּה קֹרְאֹתַיִךְ, מִי יָנוּד לָךְ; הַשֹּׁד וְהַשֶּׁבֶר וְהָרָעָב וְהַחֶרֶב, מִי אֲנַחֲמֵךְ.
|
19
These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
|
|
כ
בָּנַיִךְ עֻלְּפוּ שָׁכְבוּ, בְּרֹאשׁ כָּל-חוּצוֹת--כְּתוֹא מִכְמָר; הַמְלֵאִים חֲמַת-יְהוָה, גַּעֲרַת אֱלֹהָיִךְ.
|
20
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of YAHOWAH, the rebuke of thy Eloheem.
|
|
כא
לָכֵן שִׁמְעִי-נָא זֹאת, עֲנִיָּה; וּשְׁכֻרַת, וְלֹא מִיָּיִן. {פ}
|
21
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine;
{P}
|
|
כב
כֹּה-אָמַר אֲדֹנַיִךְ יְהוָה, וֵאלֹהַיִךְ יָרִיב עַמּוֹ, הִנֵּה לָקַחְתִּי מִיָּדֵךְ, אֶת-כּוֹס הַתַּרְעֵלָה--אֶת-קֻבַּעַת כּוֹס חֲמָתִי, לֹא-תוֹסִיפִי לִשְׁתּוֹתָהּ עוֹד.
|
22
Thus saith thy Lord YAHOWAH, and thy Eloheem that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;
|
|
כג
וְשַׂמְתִּיהָ בְּיַד-מוֹגַיִךְ, אֲשֶׁר-אָמְרוּ לְנַפְשֵׁךְ שְׁחִי וְנַעֲבֹרָה; וַתָּשִׂימִי כָאָרֶץ גֵּוֵךְ, וְכַחוּץ לַעֹבְרִים. {פ}
|
23
And I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
{P}
