א הוֹי שׁוֹדֵד, וְאַתָּה לֹא שָׁדוּד, וּבוֹגֵד, וְלֹא-בָגְדוּ בוֹ; כַּהֲתִמְךָ שׁוֹדֵד תּוּשַּׁד, כַּנְּלֹתְךָ לִבְגֹּד יִבְגְּדוּ-בָךְ. {ס}
|
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou art weary with dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. {S}
|
ב יְהוָה חָנֵּנוּ, לְךָ קִוִּינוּ; הֱיֵה זְרֹעָם לַבְּקָרִים, אַף-יְשׁוּעָתֵנוּ בְּעֵת צָרָה.
|
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for Thee; be Thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
|
ג מִקּוֹל הָמוֹן, נָדְדוּ עַמִּים; מֵרוֹמְמֻתֶךָ, נָפְצוּ גּוֹיִם.
|
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of Thyself the nations are scattered.
|
ד וְאֻסַּף שְׁלַלְכֶם, אֹסֶף הֶחָסִיל--כְּמַשַּׁק גֵּבִים, שֹׁקֵק בּוֹ.
|
4 And your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathereth; as locusts leap do they leap upon it.
|
ה נִשְׂגָּב יְהוָה, כִּי שֹׁכֵן מָרוֹם; מִלֵּא צִיּוֹן, מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה.
|
5 The LORD is exalted, for He dwelleth on high; He hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
|
ו וְהָיָה אֱמוּנַת עִתֶּיךָ, חֹסֶן יְשׁוּעֹת חָכְמַת וָדָעַת; יִרְאַת יְהוָה, הִיא אוֹצָרוֹ. {פ}
|
6 And the stability of thy times shall be a hoard of salvation--wisdom and knowledge, and the fear of the LORD which is His treasure. {P}
|
ז הֵן, אֶרְאֶלָּם, צָעֲקוּ, חֻצָה; מַלְאֲכֵי שָׁלוֹם, מַר יִבְכָּיוּן.
|
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
|
ח נָשַׁמּוּ מְסִלּוֹת, שָׁבַת עֹבֵר אֹרַח; הֵפֵר בְּרִית מָאַס עָרִים, לֹא חָשַׁב אֱנוֹשׁ.
|
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
|
ט אָבַל אֻמְלְלָה אָרֶץ, הֶחְפִּיר לְבָנוֹן קָמַל; הָיָה הַשָּׁרוֹן כָּעֲרָבָה, וְנֹעֵר בָּשָׁן וְכַרְמֶל. {ס}
|
9 The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, it withereth; Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel are clean bare. {S}
|
י עַתָּה אָקוּם, יֹאמַר יְהוָה; עַתָּה, אֵרוֹמָם--עַתָּה, אֶנָּשֵׂא.
|
10 Now will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift Myself up.
|
יא תַּהֲרוּ חֲשַׁשׁ, תֵּלְדוּ קַשׁ; רוּחֲכֶם, אֵשׁ תֹּאכַלְכֶם.
|
11 Ye conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble; your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
|
יב וְהָיוּ עַמִּים, מִשְׂרְפוֹת שִׂיד; קוֹצִים כְּסוּחִים, בָּאֵשׁ יִצַּתּוּ. {פ}
|
12 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime; as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. {P}
|
יג שִׁמְעוּ רְחוֹקִים, אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי; וּדְעוּ קְרוֹבִים, גְּבֻרָתִי.
|
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge My might.
|
יד פָּחֲדוּ בְצִיּוֹן חַטָּאִים, אָחֲזָה רְעָדָה חֲנֵפִים; מִי יָגוּר לָנוּ, אֵשׁ אוֹכֵלָה--מִי-יָגוּר לָנוּ, מוֹקְדֵי עוֹלָם.
|
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the ungodly: 'Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?'
|
טו הֹלֵךְ צְדָקוֹת, וְדֹבֵר מֵישָׁרִים; מֹאֵס בְּבֶצַע מַעֲשַׁקּוֹת, נֹעֵר כַּפָּיו מִתְּמֹךְ בַּשֹּׁחַד, אֹטֵם אָזְנוֹ מִשְּׁמֹעַ דָּמִים, וְעֹצֵם עֵינָיו מֵרְאוֹת בְּרָע.
|
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;
|
טז הוּא מְרוֹמִים יִשְׁכֹּן, מְצָדוֹת סְלָעִים מִשְׂגַּבּוֹ; לַחְמוֹ נִתָּן, מֵימָיו נֶאֱמָנִים.
|
16 He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given, his waters shall be sure.
|
יז מֶלֶךְ בְּיָפְיוֹ, תֶּחֱזֶינָה עֵינֶיךָ; תִּרְאֶינָה, אֶרֶץ מַרְחַקִּים.
|
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty; they shall behold a land stretching afar.
|
יח לִבְּךָ, יֶהְגֶּה אֵימָה; אַיֵּה סֹפֵר אַיֵּה שֹׁקֵל, אַיֵּה סֹפֵר אֶת-הַמִּגְדָּלִים.
|
18 Thy heart shall muse on the terror: 'Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed? Where is he that counted the towers?'
|
יט אֶת-עַם נוֹעָז, לֹא תִרְאֶה: עַם עִמְקֵי שָׂפָה מִשְּׁמוֹעַ, נִלְעַג לָשׁוֹן אֵין בִּינָה.
|
19 Thou shalt not see the fierce people; a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive, of a stammering tongue that thou canst not understand.
|
כ חֲזֵה צִיּוֹן, קִרְיַת מוֹעֲדֵנוּ; עֵינֶיךָ תִרְאֶינָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם נָוֶה שַׁאֲנָן, אֹהֶל בַּל-יִצְעָן בַּל-יִסַּע יְתֵדֹתָיו לָנֶצַח, וְכָל-חֲבָלָיו, בַּל-יִנָּתֵקוּ.
|
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemn gatherings; thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a peaceful habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
|
כא כִּי אִם-שָׁם אַדִּיר יְהוָה, לָנוּ, מְקוֹם-נְהָרִים יְאֹרִים, רַחֲבֵי יָדָיִם; בַּל-תֵּלֶךְ בּוֹ אֳנִי-שַׁיִט, וְצִי אַדִּיר לֹא יַעַבְרֶנּוּ.
|
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, in a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
|
כב כִּי יְהוָה שֹׁפְטֵנוּ, יְהוָה מְחֹקְקֵנוּ; יְהוָה מַלְכֵּנוּ, הוּא יוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ.
|
22 For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our Lawgiver, the LORD is our King; He will save us.
|
כג נִטְּשׁוּ, חֲבָלָיִךְ; בַּל-יְחַזְּקוּ כֵן-תָּרְנָם, בַּל-פָּרְשׂוּ נֵס, אָז חֻלַּק עַד-שָׁלָל מַרְבֶּה, פִּסְחִים בָּזְזוּ בַז.
|
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they do not hold the stand of their mast, they do not spread the sail; then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
|
כד וּבַל-יֹאמַר שָׁכֵן, חָלִיתִי; הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּהּ, נְשֻׂא עָוֺן. {ס}
|
24 And the inhabitant shall not say: 'I am sick'; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. {S}
