| 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 the LORD; 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 the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; 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 the LORD; 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD, the rebuke of thy God. |
| 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 the LORD, and thy God 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} |
