Isaiah 10
1 Woe vnto them that decree wicked decrees, and write grieuous things,
| הֹ֥וי הַחֹֽקְקִ֖ים חִקְקֵי־אָ֑וֶן וּֽמְכַתְּבִ֥ים עָמָ֖ל כִּתֵּֽבוּ׃ |
2 To keepe backe ye poore from iudgement, and to take away the iudgement of the poore of my people, that widowes may be their pray, and that they may spoyle the fatherlesse.
| לְהַטֹּ֤ות מִדִּין֙ דַּלִּ֔ים וְלִגְזֹ֕ל מִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיֵּ֣י עַמִּ֑י לִהְיֹ֤ות אַלְמָנֹות֙ שְׁלָלָ֔ם וְאֶת־יְתֹומִ֖ים יָבֹֽזּוּ׃ |
3 What will ye doe nowe in the day of visitation, and of destruction, which shall come from farre? to whom will ye flee for helpe? and where will ye leaue your glorie?
| וּמַֽה־תַּעֲשׂוּ֙ לְיֹ֣ום פְּקֻדָּ֔ה וּלְשֹׁואָ֖ה מִמֶּרְחָ֣ק תָּבֹ֑וא עַל־מִי֙ תָּנ֣וּסוּ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה וְאָ֥נָה תַעַזְב֖וּ כְּבֹודְכֶֽם׃ |
4 Without me euery one shall fall among them that are bound, and they shall fall downe among the slayne: yet for all this his wrath 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 O Asshur, the rodde of my wrath: and the staffe in their hands is mine indignation.
| הֹ֥וי אַשּׁ֖וּר שֵׁ֣בֶט אַפִּ֑י וּמַטֶּה־ה֥וּא בְיָדָ֖ם זַעְמִֽי׃ |
6 I will sende him to a dissembling nation, and I will giue him a charge against the people of my wrath to take the spoyle and to take the pray, and to treade them vnder feete like the mire in the streete.
| בְּגֹ֤וי חָנֵף֙ אֲשַׁלְּחֶ֔נּוּ וְעַל־עַ֥ם עֶבְרָתִ֖י אֲצַוֶּ֑נּוּ לִשְׁלֹ֤ל שָׁלָל֙ וְלָבֹ֣ז בַּ֔ז וּלְשִׂימֹו (וּלְשׂוּמֹ֥ו) מִרְמָ֖ס כְּחֹ֥מֶר חוּצֹֽות׃ |
7 But he thinketh not so, neither doeth his heart esteeme it so: but he imagineth to destroy and to cut off not a fewe nations.
| וְהוּא֙ לֹא־כֵ֣ן יְדַמֶּ֔ה וּלְבָבֹ֖ו לֹא־כֵ֣ן יַחְשֹׁ֑ב כִּ֚י לְהַשְׁמִ֣יד בִּלְבָבֹ֔ו וּלְהַכְרִ֥ית גֹּויִ֖ם לֹ֥א מְעָֽט׃ |
8 For he sayeth, Are not my princes altogether Kings?
| כִּ֖י יֹאמַ֑ר הֲלֹ֥א שָׂרַ֛י יַחְדָּ֖ו מְלָכִֽים׃ |
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
| הֲלֹ֥א כְּכַרְכְּמִ֖ישׁ כַּלְנֹ֑ו אִם־לֹ֤א כְאַרְפַּד֙ חֲמָ֔ת אִם־לֹ֥א כְדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק שֹׁמְרֹֽון׃ |
10 Like as mine hand hath founde the kingdomes of the idoles, seeing their idoles were aboue Ierusalem, and aboue Samaria:
| כַּאֲשֶׁר֙ מָצְאָ֣ה יָדִ֔י לְמַמְלְכֹ֖ת הָאֱלִ֑יל וּפְסִ֣ילֵיהֶ֔ם מִירֽוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם וּמִשֹּׁמְרֹֽון׃ |
11 Shall not I, as I haue done to Samaria, and to the idoles thereof, so doe to Ierusalem and to the idoles thereof?
| הֲלֹ֗א כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֛יתִי לְשֹׁמְרֹ֖ון וְלֶאֱלִילֶ֑יהָ כֵּ֛ן אֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה לִירוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם וְלַעֲצַבֶּֽיהָ׃ ס |
12 But when the Lord hath accomplished all his worke vpon mount Zion and Ierusalem, I will visite the fruite of the proude heart of the King of Asshur, and his glorious and proud lookes,
| וְהָיָ֗ה כִּֽי־יְבַצַּ֤ע אֲדֹנָי֙ אֶת־כָּל־מֽ͏ַעֲשֵׂ֔הוּ בְּהַ֥ר צִיֹּ֖ון וּבִירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם אֶפְקֹ֗ד עַל־פְּרִי־גֹ֙דֶל֙ לְבַ֣ב מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֔וּר וְעַל־תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת ר֥וּם עֵינָֽיו׃ |
13 Because he said, By ye power of mine owne hand haue I done it, and by my wisdome, because I am wise: therefore I haue remooued the borders of the people, and haue spoyled their treasures, and haue pulled downe the inhabitants like a valiant man.
| כִּ֣י אָמַ֗ר בְּכֹ֤חַ יָדִי֙ עָשִׂ֔יתִי וּבְחָכְמָתִ֖י כִּ֣י נְבֻנֹ֑ותִי וְאָסִ֣יר ׀ גְּבוּלֹ֣ת עַמִּ֗ים וַעֲתִידֹתֵיהֶם (וַעֲתוּדֹֽותֵיהֶם֙) שֹׁושֵׂ֔תִי וְאֹורִ֥יד כַּאבִּ֖יר יֹושְׁבִֽים׃ |
14 And mine hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathereth egges that are left, so haue I gathered all the earth: and there was none to mooue the wing or to open the mouth, or to whisper.
| וַתִּמְצָ֨א כַקֵּ֤ן ׀ יָדִי֙ לְחֵ֣יל הָֽעַמִּ֔ים וְכֶאֱסֹף֙ בֵּיצִ֣ים עֲזֻבֹ֔ות כָּל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲנִ֣י אָסָ֑פְתִּי וְלֹ֤א הָיָה֙ נֹדֵ֣ד כָּנָ֔ף וּפֹצֶ֥ה פֶ֖ה וּמְצַפְצֵֽף׃ |
15 Shall the axe boast it selfe against him that heweth therewith? or shall the sawe exalt it selfe against him that moueth it? as if the rod shoulde lift vp it selfe against him that taketh it vp, or the staffe should exalt it selfe, as it were no wood.
| הֲיִתְפָּאֵר֙ הַגַּרְזֶ֔ן עַ֖ל הַחֹצֵ֣ב בֹּ֑ו אִם־יִתְגַּדֵּ֤ל הַמַּשֹּׂור֙ עַל־מְנִיפֹ֔ו כְּהָנִ֥יף שֵׁ֙בֶט֙ וְאֶת־מְרִימָ֔יו כְּהָרִ֥ים מַטֶּ֖ה לֹא־עֵֽץ׃ |
16 Therefore shall the Lord God of hostes send amog his fat men, leannes, and vnder his glorie he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of fire.
| לָ֠כֵן יְשַׁלַּ֨ח הָאָדֹ֜ון יְהוָ֧ה צְבָאֹ֛ות בְּמִשְׁמַנָּ֖יו רָזֹ֑ון וְתַ֧חַת כְּבֹדֹ֛ו יֵקַ֥ד יְקֹ֖ד כִּיקֹ֥וד אֵֽשׁ׃ |
17 And the light of Israel shalbe as a fire, and the Holy one thereof as a flame, and it shall burne, and deuoure his thornes and his briers in one day:
| וְהָיָ֤ה אֹֽור־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְאֵ֔שׁ וּקְדֹושֹׁ֖ו לְלֶהָבָ֑ה וּבָעֲרָ֗ה וְאָֽכְלָ֛ה שִׁיתֹ֥ו וּשְׁמִירֹ֖ו בְּיֹ֥ום אֶחָֽד׃ |
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitfull fieldes both soule and flesh: and he shalbe as ye fainting of a standard bearer.
| וּכְבֹ֤וד יַעְרֹו֙ וְכַרְמִלֹּ֔ו מִנֶּ֥פֶשׁ וְעַד־בָּשָׂ֖ר יְכַלֶּ֑ה וְהָיָ֖ה כִּמְסֹ֥ס נֹסֵֽס׃ |
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shalbe fewe, that a childe may tell them.
| וּשְׁאָ֥ר עֵ֛ץ יַעְרֹ֖ו מִסְפָּ֣ר יִֽהְי֑וּ וְנַ֖עַר יִכְתְּבֵֽם׃ פ |
20 And at that day shall the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Iaakob, stay no more vpon him that smote them, but shall stay vpon ye Lord, ye Holy one of Israel in trueth.
| וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא לֹֽא־יֹוסִ֨יף עֹ֜וד שְׁאָ֤ר יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וּפְלֵיטַ֣ת בֵּֽית־יַעֲקֹ֔ב לְהִשָּׁעֵ֖ן עַל־מַכֵּ֑הוּ וְנִשְׁעַ֗ן עַל־יְהוָ֛ה קְדֹ֥ושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בֶּאֱמֶֽת׃ |
21 The remnant shall returne, euen the remnant of Iaakob vnto the mightie God.
| שְׁאָ֥ר יָשׁ֖וּב שְׁאָ֣ר יַעֲקֹ֑ב אֶל־אֵ֖ל גִּבֹּֽור׃ |
22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, yet shall the remnant of them returne. The consumption decreed shall ouerflow with righteousnesse.
| כִּ֣י אִם־יִהְיֶ֞ה עַמְּךָ֤ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כְּחֹ֣ול הַיָּ֔ם שְׁאָ֖ר יָשׁ֣וּב בֹּ֑ו כִּלָּיֹ֥ון חָר֖וּץ שֹׁוטֵ֥ף צְדָקָֽה׃ |
23 For the Lord God of hostes shall make the consumption, euen determined, in the middes of all the land.
| כִּ֥י כָלָ֖ה וְנֶחֱרָצָ֑ה אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ צְבָאֹ֔ות עֹשֶׂ֖ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ ס |
24 Therefore thus saith ye Lord God of hostes, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift vp his staffe against thee after the maner of Egypt:
| לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ צְבָאֹ֔ות אַל־תִּירָ֥א עַמִּ֛י יֹשֵׁ֥ב צִיֹּ֖ון מֵֽאַשּׁ֑וּר בַּשֵּׁ֣בֶט יַכֶּ֔כָּה וּמַטֵּ֥הוּ יִשָּֽׂא־עָלֶ֖יךָ בְּדֶ֥רֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
25 But yet a very litle time, and the wrath shall be consumed, and mine anger in their destruction.
| כִּי־עֹ֖וד מְעַ֣ט מִזְעָ֑ר וְכָ֣לָה זַ֔עַם וְאַפִּ֖י עַל־תַּבְלִיתָֽם׃ |
26 And ye Lord of hostes shall raise vp a scourge for him, according to the plague of Midian in the rocke Oreb: and as his staffe was vpon the Sea, so he will lift it vp after the maner of Egypt.
| וְעֹורֵ֨ר עָלָ֜יו יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאֹות֙ שֹׁ֔וט כְּמַכַּ֥ת מִדְיָ֖ן בְּצ֣וּר עֹורֵ֑ב וּמַטֵּ֙הוּ֙ עַל־הַיָּ֔ם וּנְשָׂאֹ֖ו בְּדֶ֥רֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
27 And at that day shall his burden be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy necke: and the yoke shalbe destroied because of the anoynting.
| וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא יָס֤וּר סֻבֳּלֹו֙ מֵעַ֣ל שִׁכְמֶ֔ךָ וְעֻלֹּ֖ו מֵעַ֣ל צַוָּארֶ֑ךָ וְחֻבַּ֥ל עֹ֖ל מִפְּנֵי־שָֽׁמֶן׃ |
28 He is come to Aiath: he is passed into Migron: at Michmash shall he lay vp his armour.
| בָּ֥א עַל־עַיַּ֖ת עָבַ֣ר בְּמִגְרֹ֑ון לְמִכְמָ֖שׂ יַפְקִ֥יד כֵּלָֽיו׃ |
29 They haue gone ouer the foorde: they lodged in the lodging at Geba: Ramah is afraide: Gibeah of Saul is fled away.
| עָֽבְרוּ֙ מַעְבָּרָ֔ה גֶּ֖בַע מָלֹ֣ון לָ֑נוּ חָֽרְדָה֙ הָֽרָמָ֔ה גִּבְעַ֥ת שָׁא֖וּל נָֽסָה׃ |
30 Lift vp thy voyce, O daughter Gallim, cause Laish to heare, O poore Anathoth.
| צַהֲלִ֥י קֹולֵ֖ךְ בַּת־גַּלִּ֑ים הַקְשִׁ֥יבִי לַ֖יְשָׁה עֲנִיָּ֥ה עֲנָתֹֽות׃ |
31 Madmenah is remoued: the inhabitants of Gebim haue gathered themselues together.
| נָדְדָ֖ה מַדְמֵנָ֑ה יֹשְׁבֵ֥י הַגֵּבִ֖ים הֵעִֽיזוּ׃ |
32 Yet there is a time that he will stay at Nob: he shall lift vp his hand towarde the mount of the daughter Zion, the hill of Ierusalem.
| עֹ֥וד הַיֹּ֖ום בְּנֹ֣ב לַֽעֲמֹ֑ד יְנֹפֵ֤ף יָדֹו֙ הַ֣ר בֵּית־ (בַּת)־צִיֹּ֔ון גִּבְעַ֖ת יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ ס |
33 Beholde, the Lord God of hostes shall cut off the bough with feare, and they of high stature shalbe cut off, and the hie shalbe humbled.
| הִנֵּ֤ה הָאָדֹון֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות מְסָעֵ֥ף פֻּארָ֖ה בְּמַעֲרָצָ֑ה וְרָמֵ֤י הַקֹּומָה֙ גְּדוּעִ֔ים וְהַגְּבֹהִ֖ים יִשְׁפָּֽלוּ׃ |
34 And he shall cut away the thicke places of the forest with yron, and Lebanon shall haue a mightie fall.
| וְנִקַּ֛ף סִֽבְכֵ֥י הַיַּ֖עַר בַּבַּרְזֶ֑ל וְהַלְּבָנֹ֖ון בְּאַדִּ֥יר יִפֹּֽול׃ ס |
