Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
| כִּי הִנֵּה הָאָדוֹן יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת מֵסִיר מִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וּמִיהוּדָה מַשְׁעֵן וּמַשְׁעֵנָה כֹּל מִשְׁעַן־לֶחֶם וְכֹל מִשְׁעַן־מָֽיִם׃ |
2 The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
| גִּבּוֹר וְאִישׁ מִלְחָמָה שׁוֹפֵט וְנָבִיא וְקֹסֵם וְזָקֵֽן׃ |
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
| שַׂר־חֲמִשִּׁים וּנְשׂוּא פָנִים וְיוֹעֵץ וַחֲכַם חֲרָשִׁים וּנְבוֹן לָֽחַשׁ׃ |
4 And I will set up boys as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
| וְנָתַתִּי נְעָרִים שָׂרֵיהֶם וְתַעֲלוּלִים יִמְשְׁלוּ־בָֽם׃ |
5 And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
| וְנִגַּשׂ הָעָם אִישׁ בְּאִישׁ וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ יִרְהֲבוּ הַנַּעַר בַּזָּקֵן וְהַנִּקְלֶה בַּנִּכְבָּֽד׃ |
6 When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, [saying, ] Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
| כִּי־יִתְפֹּשׂ אִישׁ בְּאָחִיו בֵּית אָבִיו שִׂמְלָה לְכָה קָצִין תִּֽהְיֶה־לָּנוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָה הַזֹּאת תַּחַת יָדֶֽךָ׃ |
7 He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler of the people.
| יִשָּׂא בַיּוֹם הַהוּא ׀ לֵאמֹר לֹא־אֶהְיֶה חֹבֵשׁ וּבְבֵיתִי אֵין לֶחֶם וְאֵין שִׂמְלָה לֹא תְשִׂימֻנִי קְצִין עָֽם׃ |
8 For Jerusalem is sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.
| כִּי כָֽשְׁלָה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וִיהוּדָה נָפָל כִּֽי־לְשׁוֹנָם וּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶם אֶל־יְהֹוָה לַמְרוֹת עֵנֵי כְבוֹדֽוֹ׃ |
9 The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.
| הַכָּרַת פְּנֵיהֶם עָנְתָה בָּם וְחַטָּאתָם כִּסְדֹם הִגִּידוּ לֹא כִחֵדוּ אוֹי לְנַפְשָׁם כִּי־גָמְלוּ לָהֶם רָעָֽה׃ |
10 Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.
| אִמְרוּ צַדִּיק כִּי־טוֹב כִּֽי־פְרִי מַעַלְלֵיהֶם יֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ |
11 Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.
| אוֹי לְרָשָׁע רָע כִּֽי־גְמוּל יָדָיו יֵעָשֶׂה לּֽוֹ׃ |
12 My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.
| עַמִּי נֹגְשָׂיו מְעוֹלֵל וְנָשִׁים מָשְׁלוּ בוֹ עַמִּי מְאַשְּׁרֶיךָ מַתְעִים וְדֶרֶךְ אֹרְחֹתֶיךָ בִּלֵּֽעוּ׃ |
13 The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up to judge the people.
| נִצָּב לָרִיב יְהֹוָה וְעֹמֵד לָדִין עַמִּֽים׃ |
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and their princes; but ye—ye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
| יְהֹוָה בְּמִשְׁפָּט יָבוֹא עִם־זִקְנֵי עַמּוֹ וְשָׂרָיו וְאַתֶּם בִּעַרְתֶּם הַכֶּרֶם גְּזֵלַת הֶעָנִי בְּבָתֵּיכֶֽם׃ |
15 What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
| (מלכם) [מַה־לָּכֶם] תְּדַכְּאוּ עַמִּי וּפְנֵי עֲנִיִּים תִּטְחָנוּ נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ |
16 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה יַעַן כִּי גָֽבְהוּ בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן וַתֵּלַכְנָה (נטוות) [נְטוּיוֹת] גָּרוֹן וּֽמְשַׂקְּרוֹת עֵינָיִם הָלוֹךְ וְטָפֹף תֵּלַכְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶם תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה׃ |
17 Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.
| וְשִׂפַּח אֲדֹנָי קׇדְקֹד בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן וַיהֹוָה פׇּתְהֵן יְעָרֶֽה׃ |
18 On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoe-buckles, and the hair-nets, and the crescent-shaped ornaments,
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יָסִיר אֲדֹנָי אֵת תִּפְאֶרֶת הָעֲכָסִים וְהַשְּׁבִיסִים וְהַשַּׂהֲרֹנִֽים׃ |
19 The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
| הַנְּטִפוֹת וְהַשֵּׁירוֹת וְהָרְעָלֽוֹת׃ |
20 The bonnets, and the foot-chains, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
| הַפְּאֵרִים וְהַצְּעָדוֹת וְהַקִּשֻּׁרִים וּבָתֵּי הַנֶּפֶשׁ וְהַלְּחָשִֽׁים׃ |
21 The finger-rings, and nose-jewels,
| הַטַּבָּעוֹת וְנִזְמֵי הָאָֽף׃ |
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.
| הַמַּֽחֲלָצוֹת וְהַמַּעֲטָפוֹת וְהַמִּטְפָּחוֹת וְהָחֲרִיטִֽים׃ |
23 The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.
| וְהַגִּלְיֹנִים וְהַסְּדִינִים וְהַצְּנִיפוֹת וְהָרְדִידִֽים׃ |
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.
| וְהָיָה תַחַת בֹּשֶׂם מַק יִֽהְיֶה וְתַחַת חֲגוֹרָה נִקְפָּה וְתַחַת מַעֲשֶׂה מִקְשֶׁה קׇרְחָה וְתַחַת פְּתִיגִיל מַֽחֲגֹרֶת שָׂק כִּי־תַחַת יֹֽפִי׃ |
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.
| מְתַיִךְ בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ וּגְבוּרָתֵךְ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ |
26 And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.
| וְאָנוּ וְאָבְלוּ פְּתָחֶיהָ וְנִקָּתָה לָאָרֶץ תֵּשֵֽׁב׃ |
