< Isaiah 32 >

1 Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.
הֵ֥ן לְצֶ֖דֶק יִמְלָךְ־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִ֖ים לְמִשְׁפָּ֥ט יָשֹֽׂרוּ׃
2 And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.
וְהָיָה־אִ֥ישׁ כְּמַֽחֲבֵא־ר֖וּחַ וְסֵ֣תֶר זָ֑רֶם כְּפַלְגֵי־מַ֣יִם בְּצָיֹ֔ון כְּצֵ֥ל סֶֽלַע־כָּבֵ֖ד בְּאֶ֥רֶץ עֲיֵפָֽה׃
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.
וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁעֶ֖ינָה עֵינֵ֣י רֹאִ֑ים וְאָזְנֵ֥י שֹׁמְעִ֖ים תִּקְשַֽׁבְנָה׃
4 And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.
וּלְבַ֥ב נִמְהָרִ֖ים יָבִ֣ין לָדָ֑עַת וּלְשֹׁ֣ון עִלְּגִ֔ים תְּמַהֵ֖ר לְדַבֵּ֥ר צָחֹֽות׃
5 A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.
לֹֽא־יִקָּרֵ֥א עֹ֛וד לְנָבָ֖ל נָדִ֑יב וּלְכִילַ֕י לֹ֥א יֵֽאָמֵ֖ר שֹֽׁועַ׃
6 But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.
כִּ֤י נָבָל֙ נְבָלָ֣ה יְדַבֵּ֔ר וְלִבֹּ֖ו יַעֲשֶׂה־אָ֑וֶן לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות חֹ֗נֶף וּלְדַבֵּ֤ר אֶל־יְהוָה֙ תֹּועָ֔ה לְהָרִיק֙ נֶ֣פֶשׁ רָעֵ֔ב וּמַשְׁקֶ֥ה צָמֵ֖א יַחְסִֽיר׃
7 For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.
וְכֵלַ֖י כֵּלָ֣יו רָעִ֑ים ה֚וּא זִמֹּ֣ות יָעָ֔ץ לְחַבֵּ֤ל עֲנָוִים (עֲנִיִּים֙) בְּאִמְרֵי־שֶׁ֔קֶר וּבְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶבְיֹ֖ון מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
8 But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.
וְנָדִ֖יב נְדִיבֹ֣ות יָעָ֑ץ וְה֖וּא עַל־נְדִיבֹ֥ות יָקֽוּם׃ פ
9 Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.
נָשִׁים֙ שַֽׁאֲנַנֹּ֔ות קֹ֖מְנָה שְׁמַ֣עְנָה קֹולִ֑י בָּנֹות֙ בֹּֽטחֹ֔ות הַאְזֵ֖נָּה אִמְרָתִֽי׃
10 Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.
יָמִים֙ עַל־שָׁנָ֔ה תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה בֹּֽטְחֹ֑ות כִּ֚י כָּלָ֣ה בָצִ֔יר אֹ֖סֶף בְּלִ֥י יָבֹֽוא׃
11 Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.
חִרְדוּ֙ שַֽׁאֲנַנֹּ֔ות רְגָ֖זָה בֹּֽטְחֹ֑ות פְּשֹׁ֣טָֽה וְעֹ֔רָה וַחֲגֹ֖ורָה עַל־חֲלָצָֽיִם׃
12 Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
עַל־שָׁדַ֖יִם סֹֽפְדִ֑ים עַל־שְׂדֵי־חֶ֕מֶד עַל־גֶּ֖פֶן פֹּרִיָּֽה׃
13 Vpon the lande of my people shall growe thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of ioye in the citie of reioysing,
עַ֚ל אַדְמַ֣ת עַמִּ֔י קֹ֥וץ שָׁמִ֖יר תַּֽעֲלֶ֑ה כִּ֚י עַל־כָּל־בָּתֵּ֣י מָשֹׂ֔ושׂ קִרְיָ֖ה עַלִּיזָֽה׃
14 Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse shalbe dennes for euer, and the delite of wilde asses, and a pasture for flockes,
כִּֽי־אַרְמֹ֣ון נֻטָּ֔שׁ הֲמֹ֥ון עִ֖יר עֻזָּ֑ב עֹ֣פֶל וָבַ֜חַן הָיָ֨ה בְעַ֤ד מְעָרֹות֙ עַד־עֹולָ֔ם מְשֹׂ֥ושׂ פְּרָאִ֖ים מִרְעֵ֥ה עֲדָרִֽים׃
15 Vntill the Spirit be powred vpon vs from aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.
עַד־יֵ֨עָרֶ֥ה עָלֵ֛ינוּ ר֖וּחַ מִמָּרֹ֑ום וְהָיָ֤ה מִדְבָּר֙ לַכַּרְמֶ֔ל וְכַרְמֶל (וְהַכַּרְמֶ֖ל) לַיַּ֥עַר יֵחָשֵֽׁב׃
16 And iudgement shall dwel in the desert, and iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.
וְשָׁכַ֥ן בַּמִּדְבָּ֖ר מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בַּכַּרְמֶ֥ל תֵּשֵֽׁב׃
17 And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.
וְהָיָ֛ה מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הַצְּדָקָ֖ה שָׁלֹ֑ום וַֽעֲבֹדַת֙ הַצְּדָקָ֔ה הַשְׁקֵ֥ט וָבֶ֖טַח עַד־עֹולָֽם׃
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.
וְיָשַׁ֥ב עַמִּ֖י בִּנְוֵ֣ה שָׁלֹ֑ום וּֽבְמִשְׁכְּנֹות֙ מִבְטַחִ֔ים וּבִמְנוּחֹ֖ת שַׁאֲנַנֹּֽות׃
19 When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest, and the citie shall be set in the lowe place.
וּבָרַ֖ד בְּרֶ֣דֶת הַיָּ֑עַר וּבַשִּׁפְלָ֖ה תִּשְׁפַּ֥ל הָעִֽיר׃
20 Blessed are ye that sowe vpon all waters, and driue thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.
אַשְׁרֵיכֶ֕ם זֹרְעֵ֖י עַל־כָּל־מָ֑יִם מְשַׁלְּחֵ֥י רֶֽגֶל־הַשֹּׁ֖ור וְהַחֲמֹֽור׃ ס
