Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
| מַשָּׂא גֵּיא חִזָּיוֹן מַה־לָּךְ אֵפוֹא כִּי־עָלִית כֻּלָּךְ לַגַּגּֽוֹת׃ |
2 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
| תְּשֻׁאוֹת ׀ מְלֵאָה עִיר הֽוֹמִיָּה קִרְיָה עַלִּיזָה חֲלָלַיִךְ לֹא חַלְלֵי־חֶרֶב וְלֹא מֵתֵי מִלְחָמָֽה׃ |
3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
| כׇּל־קְצִינַיִךְ נָֽדְדוּ־יַחַד מִקֶּשֶׁת אֻסָּרוּ כׇּל־נִמְצָאַיִךְ אֻסְּרוּ יַחְדָּו מֵרָחוֹק בָּרָֽחוּ׃ |
4 Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
| עַל־כֵּן אָמַרְתִּי שְׁעוּ מִנִּי אֲמָרֵר בַּבֶּכִי אַל־תָּאִיצוּ לְנַֽחֲמֵנִי עַל־שֹׁד בַּת־עַמִּֽי׃ |
5 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from Jehovah of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."
| כִּי יוֹם מְהוּמָה וּמְבוּסָה וּמְבוּכָה לַֽאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת בְּגֵי חִזָּיוֹן מְקַרְקַר קִר וְשׁוֹעַ אֶל־הָהָֽר׃ |
6 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
| וְעֵילָם נָשָׂא אַשְׁפָּה בְּרֶכֶב אָדָם פָּרָשִׁים וְקִיר עֵרָה מָגֵֽן׃ |
7 It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
| וַיְהִי מִבְחַר־עֲמָקַיִךְ מָלְאוּ רָכֶב וְהַפָּרָשִׁים שֹׁת שָׁתוּ הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃ |
8 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
| וַיְגַל אֵת מָסַךְ יְהוּדָה וַתַּבֵּט בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אֶל־נֶשֶׁק בֵּית הַיָּֽעַר׃ |
9 You saw the breaches of the City of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
| וְאֵת בְּקִיעֵי עִיר־דָּוִד רְאִיתֶם כִּי־רָבּוּ וַֽתְּקַבְּצוּ אֶת־מֵי הַבְּרֵכָה הַתַּחְתּוֹנָֽה׃ |
10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
| וְאֶת־בָּתֵּי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם סְפַרְתֶּם וַתִּתְצוּ הַבָּתִּים לְבַצֵּר הַחוֹמָֽה׃ |
11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.
| וּמִקְוָה ׀ עֲשִׂיתֶם בֵּין הַחֹמֹתַיִם לְמֵי הַבְּרֵכָה הַיְשָׁנָה וְלֹא הִבַּטְתֶּם אֶל־עֹשֶׂיהָ וְיֹצְרָהּ מֵרָחוֹק לֹא רְאִיתֶֽם׃ |
12 In that day Jehovah of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for shaved heads, and for the wearing of sackcloth.
| וַיִּקְרָא אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לִבְכִי וּלְמִסְפֵּד וּלְקׇרְחָה וְלַחֲגֹר שָֽׂק׃ |
13 But look, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."
| וְהִנֵּה ׀ שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה הָרֹג ׀ בָּקָר וְשָׁחֹט צֹאן אָכֹל בָּשָׂר וְשָׁתוֹת יָיִן אָכוֹל וְשָׁתוֹ כִּי מָחָר נָמֽוּת׃ |
14 Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says Jehovah of hosts.
| וְנִגְלָה בְאׇזְנָי יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אִם־יְכֻפַּר הֶעָוֺן הַזֶּה לָכֶם עַד־תְּמֻתוּן אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ |
15 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of the house, and say,
| כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת לֶךְ־בֹּא אֶל־הַסֹּכֵן הַזֶּה עַל־שֶׁבְנָא אֲשֶׁר עַל־הַבָּֽיִת׃ |
16 'What are you doing here, and whom have you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock."
| מַה־לְּךָ פֹה וּמִי לְךָ פֹה כִּֽי־חָצַבְתָּ לְּךָ פֹּה קָבֶר חֹצְבִי מָרוֹם קִבְרוֹ חֹקְקִי בַסֶּלַע מִשְׁכָּן לֽוֹ׃ |
17 Look, Jehovah will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
| הִנֵּה יְהֹוָה מְטַלְטֶלְךָ טַלְטֵלָה גָּבֶר וְעֹטְךָ עָטֹֽה׃ |
18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.
| צָנוֹף יִצְנׇפְךָ צְנֵפָה כַּדּוּר אֶל־אֶרֶץ רַחֲבַת יָדָיִם שָׁמָּה תָמוּת וְשָׁמָּה מַרְכְּבוֹת כְּבוֹדֶךָ קְלוֹן בֵּית אֲדֹנֶֽיךָ׃ |
19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
| וַהֲדַפְתִּיךָ מִמַּצָּבֶךָ וּמִמַּעֲמָֽדְךָ יֶהֶרְסֶֽךָ׃ |
20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
| וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְקָרָאתִי לְעַבְדִּי לְאֶלְיָקִים בֶּן־חִלְקִיָּֽהוּ׃ |
21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
| וְהִלְבַּשְׁתִּיו כֻּתׇּנְתֶּךָ וְאַבְנֵֽטְךָ אֲחַזְּקֶנּוּ וּמֶֽמְשַׁלְתְּךָ אֶתֵּן בְּיָדוֹ וְהָיָה לְאָב לְיוֹשֵׁב יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וּלְבֵית יְהוּדָֽה׃ |
22 I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
| וְנָתַתִּי מַפְתֵּחַ בֵּית־דָּוִד עַל־שִׁכְמוֹ וּפָתַח וְאֵין סֹגֵר וְסָגַר וְאֵין פֹּתֵֽחַ׃ |
23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
| וּתְקַעְתִּיו יָתֵד בְּמָקוֹם נֶאֱמָן וְהָיָה לְכִסֵּא כָבוֹד לְבֵית אָבִֽיו׃ |
24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
| וְתָלוּ עָלָיו כֹּל ׀ כְּבוֹד בֵּית־אָבִיו הַצֶּֽאֱצָאִים וְהַצְּפִעוֹת כֹּל כְּלֵי הַקָּטָן מִכְּלֵי הָאַגָּנוֹת וְעַד כׇּל־כְּלֵי הַנְּבָלִֽים׃ |
25 "In that day," says Jehovah of hosts, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it."
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת תָּמוּשׁ הַיָּתֵד הַתְּקוּעָה בְּמָקוֹם נֶאֱמָן וְנִגְדְּעָה וְנָפְלָה וְנִכְרַת הַמַּשָּׂא אֲשֶׁר־עָלֶיהָ כִּי יְהֹוָה דִּבֵּֽר׃ |
