| א נִדְרַשְׁתִּי לְלוֹא שָׁאָלוּ, נִמְצֵאתִי לְלֹא בִקְשֻׁנִי; אָמַרְתִּי הִנֵּנִי הִנֵּנִי, אֶל-גּוֹי לֹא-קֹרָא בִשְׁמִי. | 1 I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name. |
| ב פֵּרַשְׂתִּי יָדַי כָּל-הַיּוֹם, אֶל-עַם סוֹרֵר--הַהֹלְכִים הַדֶּרֶךְ לֹא-טוֹב, אַחַר מַחְשְׁבֹתֵיהֶם. | 2 I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts; |
| ג הָעָם, הַמַּכְעִסִים אֹתִי עַל-פָּנַי--תָּמִיד: זֹבְחִים, בַּגַּנּוֹת, וּמְקַטְּרִים, עַל-הַלְּבֵנִים. | 3 A people that provoke Me to My face continually, that sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon bricks; |
| ד הַיֹּשְׁבִים, בַּקְּבָרִים, וּבַנְּצוּרִים, יָלִינוּ; הָאֹכְלִים בְּשַׂר הַחֲזִיר, ופרק וּמְרַק פִּגֻּלִים כְּלֵיהֶם. | 4 That sit among the graves, and lodge in the vaults; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; |
| ה הָאֹמְרִים קְרַב אֵלֶיךָ, אַל-תִּגַּשׁ-בִּי כִּי קְדַשְׁתִּיךָ; אֵלֶּה עָשָׁן בְּאַפִּי, אֵשׁ יֹקֶדֶת כָּל-הַיּוֹם. | 5 That say: 'Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; these are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day. |
| ו הִנֵּה כְתוּבָה, לְפָנָי: לֹא אֶחֱשֶׁה כִּי אִם-שִׁלַּמְתִּי, וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי עַל-חֵיקָם. | 6 Behold, it is written before Me; I will not keep silence, except I have requited, yea, I will requite into their bosom, |
| ז עֲוֺנֹתֵיכֶם וַעֲוֺנֹת אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם יַחְדָּו, אָמַר יְהוָה, אֲשֶׁר קִטְּרוּ עַל-הֶהָרִים, וְעַל-הַגְּבָעוֹת חֵרְפוּנִי; וּמַדֹּתִי פְעֻלָּתָם רִאשֹׁנָה, על- אֶל- חֵיקָם. {ס} | 7 Your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, that have offered upon the mountains, and blasphemed Me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their wage into their bosom. {S} |
| ח כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא הַתִּירוֹשׁ בָּאֶשְׁכּוֹל, וְאָמַר אַל-תַּשְׁחִיתֵהוּ, כִּי בְרָכָה בּוֹ--כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לְמַעַן עֲבָדַי, לְבִלְתִּי הַשְׁחִית הַכֹּל. | 8 Thus saith the LORD: As, when wine is found in the cluster, one saith: 'Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it'; so will I do for My servants' sakes, that I may not destroy all. |
| ט וְהוֹצֵאתִי מִיַּעֲקֹב זֶרַע, וּמִיהוּדָה יוֹרֵשׁ הָרָי; וִירֵשׁוּהָ בְחִירַי, וַעֲבָדַי יִשְׁכְּנוּ-שָׁמָּה. | 9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of My mountains; and Mine elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there. |
| י וְהָיָה הַשָּׁרוֹן לִנְוֵה-צֹאן, וְעֵמֶק עָכוֹר לְרֵבֶץ בָּקָר, לְעַמִּי, אֲשֶׁר דְּרָשׁוּנִי. | 10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for My people that have sought Me; |
| יא וְאַתֶּם עֹזְבֵי יְהוָה, הַשְּׁכֵחִים אֶת-הַר קָדְשִׁי--הַעֹרְכִים לַגַּד שֻׁלְחָן, וְהַמְמַלְאִים לַמְנִי מִמְסָךְ. | 11 But ye that forsake the LORD, that forget My holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Destiny, |
| יב וּמָנִיתִי אֶתְכֶם לַחֶרֶב, וְכֻלְּכֶם לַטֶּבַח תִּכְרָעוּ--יַעַן קָרָאתִי וְלֹא עֲנִיתֶם, דִּבַּרְתִּי וְלֹא שְׁמַעְתֶּם; וַתַּעֲשׂוּ הָרַע בְּעֵינַי, וּבַאֲשֶׁר לֹא-חָפַצְתִּי בְּחַרְתֶּם. {פ} | 12 I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer, when I spoke, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in Mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not. {P} |
| יג לָכֵן כֹּה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, הִנֵּה עֲבָדַי יֹאכֵלוּ וְאַתֶּם תִּרְעָבוּ--הִנֵּה עֲבָדַי יִשְׁתּוּ, וְאַתֶּם תִּצְמָאוּ; הִנֵּה עֲבָדַי יִשְׂמָחוּ, וְאַתֶּם תֵּבֹשׁוּ. | 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; Behold, My servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; Behold, My servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed; |
| יד הִנֵּה עֲבָדַי יָרֹנּוּ, מִטּוּב לֵב; וְאַתֶּם תִּצְעֲקוּ מִכְּאֵב לֵב, וּמִשֵּׁבֶר רוּחַ תְּיֵלִילוּ. | 14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit. |
| טו וְהִנַּחְתֶּם שִׁמְכֶם לִשְׁבוּעָה לִבְחִירַי, וֶהֱמִיתְךָ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה; וְלַעֲבָדָיו יִקְרָא, שֵׁם אַחֵר. | 15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto Mine elect: 'So may the Lord GOD slay thee'; but He shall call His servants by another name; |
| טז אֲשֶׁר הַמִּתְבָּרֵךְ בָּאָרֶץ, יִתְבָּרֵךְ בֵּאלֹהֵי אָמֵן, וְהַנִּשְׁבָּע בָּאָרֶץ, יִשָּׁבַע בֵּאלֹהֵי אָמֵן: כִּי נִשְׁכְּחוּ, הַצָּרוֹת הָרִאשֹׁנוֹת, וְכִי נִסְתְּרוּ, מֵעֵינָי. | 16 So that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes. |
| יז כִּי-הִנְנִי בוֹרֵא שָׁמַיִם חֲדָשִׁים, וָאָרֶץ חֲדָשָׁה; וְלֹא תִזָּכַרְנָה הָרִאשֹׁנוֹת, וְלֹא תַעֲלֶינָה עַל-לֵב. | 17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. |
| יח כִּי-אִם-שִׂישׂוּ וְגִילוּ עֲדֵי-עַד, אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי בוֹרֵא: כִּי הִנְנִי בוֹרֵא אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם גִּילָה, וְעַמָּהּ מָשׂוֹשׂ. | 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. |
| יט וְגַלְתִּי בִירוּשָׁלִַם, וְשַׂשְׂתִּי בְעַמִּי; וְלֹא-יִשָּׁמַע בָּהּ עוֹד, קוֹל בְּכִי וְקוֹל זְעָקָה. | 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. |
| כ לֹא-יִהְיֶה מִשָּׁם עוֹד, עוּל יָמִים וְזָקֵן, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יְמַלֵּא, אֶת-יָמָיו: כִּי הַנַּעַר, בֶּן-מֵאָה שָׁנָה יָמוּת, וְהַחוֹטֶא, בֶּן-מֵאָה שָׁנָה יְקֻלָּל. | 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man, that hath not filled his days; for the youngest shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed. |
| כא וּבָנוּ בָתִּים, וְיָשָׁבוּ; וְנָטְעוּ כְרָמִים, וְאָכְלוּ פִּרְיָם. | 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. |
| כב לֹא יִבְנוּ וְאַחֵר יֵשֵׁב, לֹא יִטְּעוּ וְאַחֵר יֹאכֵל: כִּי-כִימֵי הָעֵץ יְמֵי עַמִּי, וּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם יְבַלּוּ בְחִירָי. | 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit, they shall not plant, and another eat; for as the days of a tree shall be the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. |
| כג לֹא יִיגְעוּ לָרִיק, וְלֹא יֵלְדוּ לַבֶּהָלָה: כִּי זֶרַע בְּרוּכֵי יְהוָה, הֵמָּה, וְצֶאֱצָאֵיהֶם, אִתָּם. | 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for terror; for they are the seed blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. |
| כד וְהָיָה טֶרֶם-יִקְרָאוּ, וַאֲנִי אֶעֱנֶה; עוֹד הֵם מְדַבְּרִים, וַאֲנִי אֶשְׁמָע. | 24 And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. |
| כה זְאֵב וְטָלֶה יִרְעוּ כְאֶחָד, וְאַרְיֵה כַּבָּקָר יֹאכַל-תֶּבֶן, וְנָחָשׁ, עָפָר לַחְמוֹ; לֹא-יָרֵעוּ וְלֹא-יַשְׁחִיתוּ בְּכָל-הַר קָדְשִׁי, אָמַר יְהוָה. {ס} | 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, saith the LORD. {S} |
