Isaiah 42
1 Behold, my seruaunt: I will stay vpon him: mine elect, in whom my soule deliteth: I haue put my Spirit vpon him: he shall bring forth iudgement to the Gentiles.
| הֵ֤ן עַבְדִּי֙ אֶתְמָךְ־בֹּ֔ו בְּחִירִ֖י רָצְתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י נָתַ֤תִּי רוּחִי֙ עָלָ֔יו מִשְׁפָּ֖ט לַגֹּויִ֥ם יֹוצִֽיא׃ |
2 He shall not crie, nor lift vp, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streete.
| לֹ֥א יִצְעַ֖ק וְלֹ֣א יִשָּׂ֑א וְלֹֽא־יַשְׁמִ֥יעַ בַּח֖וּץ קֹולֹֽו׃ |
3 A bruised reede shall hee not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: he shall bring foorth iudgement in trueth.
| קָנֶ֤ה רָצוּץ֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁבֹּ֔ור וּפִשְׁתָּ֥ה כֵהָ֖ה לֹ֣א יְכַבֶּ֑נָּה לֶאֱמֶ֖ת יֹוצִ֥יא מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
4 He shall not faile nor be discouraged till he haue set iudgement in the earth: and the yles shall waite for his lawe.
| לֹ֤א יִכְהֶה֙ וְלֹ֣א יָר֔וּץ עַד־יָשִׂ֥ים בָּאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּלְתֹורָתֹ֖ו אִיִּ֥ים יְיַחֵֽילוּ׃ פ |
5 Thus sayeth God the Lord (he that created the heauens and spred them abroad: he that stretched foorth the earth, and the buddes thereof: he that giueth breath vnto the people vpon it, and spirit to them that walke therein)
| כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר הָאֵ֣ל ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בֹּורֵ֤א הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְנֹ֣וטֵיהֶ֔ם רֹקַ֥ע הָאָ֖רֶץ וְצֶאֱצָאֶ֑יהָ נֹתֵ֤ן נְשָׁמָה֙ לָעָ֣ם עָלֶ֔יהָ וְר֖וּחַ לַהֹלְכִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ |
6 I the Lord haue called thee in righteousnesse, and will hold thine hand, and I will keepe thee, and giue thee for a couenant of the people, and for a light of the Gentiles,
| אֲנִ֧י יְהוָ֛ה קְרָאתִ֥יךָֽ בְצֶ֖דֶק וְאַחְזֵ֣ק בְּיָדֶ֑ךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ֗ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ֛ לִבְרִ֥ית עָ֖ם לְאֹ֥ור גֹּויִֽם׃ |
7 That thou maist open the eyes of the blind, and bring out the prisoners from the prison: and them that sitte in darkenesse, out of the prison house.
| לִפְקֹ֖חַ עֵינַ֣יִם עִוְרֹ֑ות לְהֹוצִ֤יא מִמַּסְגֵּר֙ אַסִּ֔יר מִבֵּ֥ית כֶּ֖לֶא יֹ֥שְׁבֵי חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
8 I am the Lord, this is my Name, and my glory wil I not giue to another, neither my praise to grauen images.
| אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה ה֣וּא שְׁמִ֑י וּכְבֹודִי֙ לְאַחֵ֣ר לֹֽא־אֶתֵּ֔ן וּתְהִלָּתִ֖י לַפְּסִילִֽים׃ |
9 Beholde, the former thinges are come to passe, and newe things doe I declare: before they come foorth, I tell you of them.
| הָרִֽאשֹׁנֹ֖ות הִנֵּה־בָ֑אוּ וַֽחֲדָשֹׁות֙ אֲנִ֣י מַגִּ֔יד בְּטֶ֥רֶם תִּצְמַ֖חְנָה אַשְׁמִ֥יע אֶתְכֶֽם׃ פ |
10 Sing vnto the Lord a newe song, and his praise from the ende of the earth: yee that goe downe to the sea, and all that is therein: the yles and the inhabitants thereof.
| שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֔שׁ תְּהִלָּתֹ֖ו מִקְצֵ֣ה הָאָ֑רֶץ יֹורְדֵ֤י הַיָּם֙ וּמְלֹאֹ֔ו אִיִּ֖ים וְיֹשְׁבֵיהֶֽם׃ |
11 Let the wildernesse and the cities thereof lift vp their voyce, the townes that Kedar doeth inhabite: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing: let them shoute from the toppe of the mountaines.
| יִשְׂא֤וּ מִדְבָּר֙ וְעָרָ֔יו חֲצֵרִ֖ים תֵּשֵׁ֣ב קֵדָ֑ר יָרֹ֙נּוּ֙ יֹ֣שְׁבֵי סֶ֔לַע מֵרֹ֥אשׁ הָרִ֖ים יִצְוָֽחוּ׃ |
12 Let them giue glorie vnto the Lord, and declare his praise in the ylands.
| יָשִׂ֥ימוּ לַֽיהוָ֖ה כָּבֹ֑וד וּתְהִלָּתֹ֖ו בָּאִיִּ֥ים יַגִּֽידוּ׃ |
13 The Lord shall go forth as a gyant: he shall stirre vp his courage like a man of warre: he shall shout and crie, and shall preuaile against his enemies.
| יְהוָה֙ כַּגִּבֹּ֣ור יֵצֵ֔א כְּאִ֥ישׁ מִלְחָמֹ֖ות יָעִ֣יר קִנְאָ֑ה יָרִ֙יעַ֙ אַף־יַצְרִ֔יחַ עַל־אֹיְבָ֖יו יִתְגַּבָּֽר׃ ס |
14 I haue a long time holden my peace: I haue beene still and refrained my selfe: nowe will I crie like a trauailing woman: I will destroy and deuoure at once.
| הֶחֱשֵׁ֙יתִי֙ מֵֽעֹולָ֔ם אַחֲרִ֖ישׁ אֶתְאַפָּ֑ק כַּיֹּולֵדָ֣ה אֶפְעֶ֔ה אֶשֹּׁ֥ם וְאֶשְׁאַ֖ף יָֽחַד׃ |
15 I will make waste mountaines, and hilles, and drie vp all their herbes, and I will make the floods ylands, and I will drie vp the pooles.
| אַחֲרִ֤יב הָרִים֙ וּגְבָעֹ֔ות וְכָל־עֶשְׂבָּ֖ם אֹובִ֑ישׁ וְשַׂמְתִּ֤י נְהָרֹות֙ לֽ͏ָאִיִּ֔ים וַאֲגַמִּ֖ים אֹובִֽישׁ׃ |
16 And I will bring the blinde by a way, that they knewe not, and lead them by paths that they haue not knowen: I will make darkenesse light before them, and crooked thinges straight. These thinges will I doe vnto them, and not forsake them.
| וְהֹולַכְתִּ֣י עִוְרִ֗ים בְּדֶ֙רֶךְ֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ בִּנְתִיבֹ֥ות לֹֽא־יָדְע֖וּ אַדְרִיכֵ֑ם אָשִׂים֩ מַחְשָׁ֨ךְ לִפְנֵיהֶ֜ם לָאֹ֗ור וּמַֽעֲקַשִּׁים֙ לְמִישֹׁ֔ור אֵ֚לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֔ים עֲשִׂיתִ֖ם וְלֹ֥א עֲזַבְתִּֽים׃ |
17 They shall be turned backe: they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in grauen images, and say to the molten images, Yee are our gods.
| נָסֹ֤גוּ אָחֹור֙ יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ בֹ֔שֶׁת הַבֹּטְחִ֖ים בַּפָּ֑סֶל הָאֹמְרִ֥ים לְמַסֵּכָ֖ה אַתֶּ֥ם אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ ס |
18 Heare, ye deafe: and ye blinde, regarde, that ye may see.
| הַחֵרְשִׁ֖ים שְׁמָ֑עוּ וְהַעִוְרִ֖ים הַבִּ֥יטוּ לִרְאֹֽות׃ |
19 Who is blinde but my seruaunt? or deafe as my messenger, that I sent? who is blind as the perfit, and blinde as the Lordes seruant?
| מִ֤י עִוֵּר֙ כִּ֣י אִם־עַבְדִּ֔י וְחֵרֵ֖שׁ כְּמַלְאָכִ֣י אֶשְׁלָ֑ח מִ֤י עִוֵּר֙ כִּמְשֻׁלָּ֔ם וְעִוֵּ֖ר כְּעֶ֥בֶד יְהוָֽה׃ |
20 Seeing many things, but thou keepest them not? opening the eares, but he heareth not?
| רָאִיתָ (רָאֹ֥ות) רַבֹּ֖ות וְלֹ֣א תִשְׁמֹ֑ר פָּקֹ֥וחַ אָזְנַ֖יִם וְלֹ֥א יִשְׁמָֽע׃ |
21 The Lord is willing for his righteousnesse sake that he may magnifie the Lawe, and exalt it.
| יְהוָ֥ה חָפֵ֖ץ לְמַ֣עַן צִדְקֹ֑ו יַגְדִּ֥יל תֹּורָ֖ה וְיַאְדִּֽיר׃ |
22 But this people is robbed and spoiled, and shalbe all snared in dungeons, and they shalbe hid in prison houses: they shall be for a pray, and none shall deliuer: a spoile, and none shall say, Restore.
| וְהוּא֮ עַם־בָּז֣וּז וְשָׁסוּי֒ הָפֵ֤חַ בַּֽחוּרִים֙ כֻּלָּ֔ם וּבְבָתֵּ֥י כְלָאִ֖ים הָחְבָּ֑אוּ הָי֤וּ לָבַז֙ וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּ֔יל מְשִׁסָּ֖ה וְאֵין־אֹמֵ֥ר הָשַֽׁב׃ |
23 Who among you shall hearken to this, and take heede, and heare for afterwardes?
| מִ֥י בָכֶ֖ם יַאֲזִ֣ין זֹ֑את יַקְשִׁ֥ב וְיִשְׁמַ֖ע לְאָחֹֽור׃ |
24 Who gaue Iaakob for a spoyle, and Israel to the robbers? Did not ye Lord, because we haue sinned against him? for they woulde not walke in his waies, neither be obedient vnto his Lawe.
| מִֽי־נָתַ֨ן לִמְשֹׁוסֶה (לִמְשִׁסָּ֧ה) יַעֲקֹ֛ב וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל לְבֹזְזִ֖ים הֲלֹ֣וא יְהוָ֑ה ז֚וּ חָטָ֣אנוּ לֹ֔ו וְלֹֽא־אָב֤וּ בִדְרָכָיו֙ הָלֹ֔וךְ וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ בְּתֹורָתֹֽו׃ |
25 Therefore hee hath powred vpon him his fierce wrath, and the strength of battell: and it set him on fire round about, and he knewe not, and it burned him vp, yet he considered not.
| וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֤ךְ עָלָיו֙ חֵמָ֣ה אַפֹּ֔ו וֶעֱז֖וּז מִלְחָמָ֑ה וַתְּלַהֲטֵ֤הוּ מִסָּבִיב֙ וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֔ע וַתִּבְעַר־בֹּ֖ו וְלֹא־יָשִׂ֥ים עַל־לֵֽב׃ פ |
