Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:
| הֹ֥וי הַחֹֽקְקִ֖ים חִקְקֵי־אָ֑וֶן וּֽמְכַתְּבִ֥ים עָמָ֖ל כִּתֵּֽבוּ׃ |
2 To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.
| לְהַטֹּ֤ות מִדִּין֙ דַּלִּ֔ים וְלִגְזֹ֕ל מִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיֵּ֣י עַמִּ֑י לִהְיֹ֤ות אַלְמָנֹות֙ שְׁלָלָ֔ם וְאֶת־יְתֹומִ֖ים יָבֹֽזּוּ׃ |
3 What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
| וּמַֽה־תַּעֲשׂוּ֙ לְיֹ֣ום פְּקֻדָּ֔ה וּלְשֹׁואָ֖ה מִמֶּרְחָ֣ק תָּבֹ֑וא עַל־מִי֙ תָּנ֣וּסוּ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה וְאָ֥נָה תַעַזְב֖וּ כְּבֹודְכֶֽם׃ |
4 That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
| בִּלְתִּ֤י כָרַע֙ תַּ֣חַת אַסִּ֔יר וְתַ֥חַת הֲרוּגִ֖ים יִפֹּ֑לוּ בְּכָל־זֹאת֙ לֹא־שָׁ֣ב אַפֹּ֔ו וְעֹ֖וד יָדֹ֥ו נְטוּיָֽה׃ ס |
5 Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.
| הֹ֥וי אַשּׁ֖וּר שֵׁ֣בֶט אַפִּ֑י וּמַטֶּה־ה֥וּא בְיָדָ֖ם זַעְמִֽי׃ |
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
| בְּגֹ֤וי חָנֵף֙ אֲשַׁלְּחֶ֔נּוּ וְעַל־עַ֥ם עֶבְרָתִ֖י אֲצַוֶּ֑נּוּ לִשְׁלֹ֤ל שָׁלָל֙ וְלָבֹ֣ז בַּ֔ז וּלְשִׂימֹו (וּלְשׂוּמֹ֥ו) מִרְמָ֖ס כְּחֹ֥מֶר חוּצֹֽות׃ |
7 But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
| וְהוּא֙ לֹא־כֵ֣ן יְדַמֶּ֔ה וּלְבָבֹ֖ו לֹא־כֵ֣ן יַחְשֹׁ֑ב כִּ֚י לְהַשְׁמִ֣יד בִּלְבָבֹ֔ו וּלְהַכְרִ֥ית גֹּויִ֖ם לֹ֥א מְעָֽט׃ |
8 For he shall say:
| כִּ֖י יֹאמַ֑ר הֲלֹ֥א שָׂרַ֛י יַחְדָּ֖ו מְלָכִֽים׃ |
9 Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
| הֲלֹ֥א כְּכַרְכְּמִ֖ישׁ כַּלְנֹ֑ו אִם־לֹ֤א כְאַרְפַּד֙ חֲמָ֔ת אִם־לֹ֥א כְדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק שֹׁמְרֹֽון׃ |
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria.
| כַּאֲשֶׁר֙ מָצְאָ֣ה יָדִ֔י לְמַמְלְכֹ֖ת הָאֱלִ֑יל וּפְסִ֣ילֵיהֶ֔ם מִירֽוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם וּמִשֹּׁמְרֹֽון׃ |
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
| הֲלֹ֗א כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֛יתִי לְשֹׁמְרֹ֖ון וְלֶאֱלִילֶ֑יהָ כֵּ֛ן אֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה לִירוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם וְלַעֲצַבֶּֽיהָ׃ ס |
12 And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
| וְהָיָ֗ה כִּֽי־יְבַצַּ֤ע אֲדֹנָי֙ אֶת־כָּל־מֽ͏ַעֲשֵׂ֔הוּ בְּהַ֥ר צִיֹּ֖ון וּבִירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם אֶפְקֹ֗ד עַל־פְּרִי־גֹ֙דֶל֙ לְבַ֣ב מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֔וּר וְעַל־תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת ר֥וּם עֵינָֽיו׃ |
13 For he hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high.
| כִּ֣י אָמַ֗ר בְּכֹ֤חַ יָדִי֙ עָשִׂ֔יתִי וּבְחָכְמָתִ֖י כִּ֣י נְבֻנֹ֑ותִי וְאָסִ֣יר ׀ גְּבוּלֹ֣ת עַמִּ֗ים וַעֲתִידֹתֵיהֶם (וַעֲתוּדֹֽותֵיהֶם֙) שֹׁושֵׂ֔תִי וְאֹורִ֥יד כַּאבִּ֖יר יֹושְׁבִֽים׃ |
14 And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise.
| וַתִּמְצָ֨א כַקֵּ֤ן ׀ יָדִי֙ לְחֵ֣יל הָֽעַמִּ֔ים וְכֶאֱסֹף֙ בֵּיצִ֣ים עֲזֻבֹ֔ות כָּל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲנִ֣י אָסָ֑פְתִּי וְלֹ֤א הָיָה֙ נֹדֵ֣ד כָּנָ֔ף וּפֹצֶ֥ה פֶ֖ה וּמְצַפְצֵֽף׃ |
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that cutteth with it? or shall the saw exalt itself against him by whom it is drawn? as if a rod should lift itself up against him that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is but wood.
| הֲיִתְפָּאֵר֙ הַגַּרְזֶ֔ן עַ֖ל הַחֹצֵ֣ב בֹּ֑ו אִם־יִתְגַּדֵּ֤ל הַמַּשֹּׂור֙ עַל־מְנִיפֹ֔ו כְּהָנִ֥יף שֵׁ֙בֶט֙ וְאֶת־מְרִימָ֔יו כְּהָרִ֥ים מַטֶּ֖ה לֹא־עֵֽץ׃ |
16 Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire.
| לָ֠כֵן יְשַׁלַּ֨ח הָאָדֹ֜ון יְהוָ֧ה צְבָאֹ֛ות בְּמִשְׁמַנָּ֖יו רָזֹ֑ון וְתַ֧חַת כְּבֹדֹ֛ו יֵקַ֥ד יְקֹ֖ד כִּיקֹ֥וד אֵֽשׁ׃ |
17 And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day.
| וְהָיָ֤ה אֹֽור־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְאֵ֔שׁ וּקְדֹושֹׁ֖ו לְלֶהָבָ֑ה וּבָעֲרָ֗ה וְאָֽכְלָ֛ה שִׁיתֹ֥ו וּשְׁמִירֹ֖ו בְּיֹ֥ום אֶחָֽד׃ |
18 And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear.
| וּכְבֹ֤וד יַעְרֹו֙ וְכַרְמִלֹּ֔ו מִנֶּ֥פֶשׁ וְעַד־בָּשָׂ֖ר יְכַלֶּ֑ה וְהָיָ֖ה כִּמְסֹ֥ס נֹסֵֽס׃ |
19 And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.
| וּשְׁאָ֥ר עֵ֛ץ יַעְרֹ֖ו מִסְפָּ֣ר יִֽהְי֑וּ וְנַ֖עַר יִכְתְּבֵֽם׃ פ |
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that shall escape of the house of Jacob, shall lean no more upon him that striketh them: but they shall lean upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
| וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא לֹֽא־יֹוסִ֨יף עֹ֜וד שְׁאָ֤ר יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וּפְלֵיטַ֣ת בֵּֽית־יַעֲקֹ֔ב לְהִשָּׁעֵ֖ן עַל־מַכֵּ֑הוּ וְנִשְׁעַ֗ן עַל־יְהוָ֛ה קְדֹ֥ושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בֶּאֱמֶֽת׃ |
21 The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, of Jacob, to the mighty God.
| שְׁאָ֥ר יָשׁ֖וּב שְׁאָ֣ר יַעֲקֹ֑ב אֶל־אֵ֖ל גִּבֹּֽור׃ |
22 For if thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be converted, the consumption abridged shall overflow with justice.
| כִּ֣י אִם־יִהְיֶ֞ה עַמְּךָ֤ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כְּחֹ֣ול הַיָּ֔ם שְׁאָ֖ר יָשׁ֣וּב בֹּ֑ו כִּלָּיֹ֥ון חָר֖וּץ שֹׁוטֵ֥ף צְדָקָֽה׃ |
23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land.
| כִּ֥י כָלָ֖ה וְנֶחֱרָצָ֑ה אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ צְבָאֹ֔ות עֹשֶׂ֖ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ ס |
24 Therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Sion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall strike thee with his rod, and he shall lift up his staff over thee in the way of Egypt.
| לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ צְבָאֹ֔ות אַל־תִּירָ֥א עַמִּ֛י יֹשֵׁ֥ב צִיֹּ֖ון מֵֽאַשּׁ֑וּר בַּשֵּׁ֣בֶט יַכֶּ֔כָּה וּמַטֵּ֥הוּ יִשָּֽׂא־עָלֶ֖יךָ בְּדֶ֥רֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
25 For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness.
| כִּי־עֹ֖וד מְעַ֣ט מִזְעָ֑ר וְכָ֣לָה זַ֔עַם וְאַפִּ֖י עַל־תַּבְלִיתָֽם׃ |
26 And the Lord of hosts shall raise up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Madian in the rock of Oreb, and his rod over the sea, and he shall lift it up in the way of Egypt.
| וְעֹורֵ֨ר עָלָ֜יו יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאֹות֙ שֹׁ֔וט כְּמַכַּ֥ת מִדְיָ֖ן בְּצ֣וּר עֹורֵ֑ב וּמַטֵּ֙הוּ֙ עַל־הַיָּ֔ם וּנְשָׂאֹ֖ו בְּדֶ֥רֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall putrify at the presence of the oil.
| וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא יָס֤וּר סֻבֳּלֹו֙ מֵעַ֣ל שִׁכְמֶ֔ךָ וְעֻלֹּ֖ו מֵעַ֣ל צַוָּארֶ֑ךָ וְחֻבַּ֥ל עֹ֖ל מִפְּנֵי־שָֽׁמֶן׃ |
28 He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages.
| בָּ֥א עַל־עַיַּ֖ת עָבַ֣ר בְּמִגְרֹ֑ון לְמִכְמָ֖שׂ יַפְקִ֥יד כֵּלָֽיו׃ |
29 They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away.
| עָֽבְרוּ֙ מַעְבָּרָ֔ה גֶּ֖בַע מָלֹ֣ון לָ֑נוּ חָֽרְדָה֙ הָֽרָמָ֔ה גִּבְעַ֥ת שָׁא֖וּל נָֽסָה׃ |
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth.
| צַהֲלִ֥י קֹולֵ֖ךְ בַּת־גַּלִּ֑ים הַקְשִׁ֥יבִי לַ֖יְשָׁה עֲנִיָּ֥ה עֲנָתֹֽות׃ |
31 Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage.
| נָדְדָ֖ה מַדְמֵנָ֑ה יֹשְׁבֵ֥י הַגֵּבִ֖ים הֵעִֽיזוּ׃ |
32 It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem.
| עֹ֥וד הַיֹּ֖ום בְּנֹ֣ב לַֽעֲמֹ֑ד יְנֹפֵ֤ף יָדֹו֙ הַ֣ר בֵּית־ (בַּת)־צִיֹּ֔ון גִּבְעַ֖ת יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ ס |
33 Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled.
| הִנֵּ֤ה הָאָדֹון֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות מְסָעֵ֥ף פֻּארָ֖ה בְּמַעֲרָצָ֑ה וְרָמֵ֤י הַקֹּומָה֙ גְּדוּעִ֔ים וְהַגְּבֹהִ֖ים יִשְׁפָּֽלוּ׃ |
34 And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.
| וְנִקַּ֛ף סִֽבְכֵ֥י הַיַּ֖עַר בַּבַּרְזֶ֑ל וְהַלְּבָנֹ֖ון בְּאַדִּ֥יר יִפֹּֽול׃ ס |
