Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
| הוֹי הַחֹֽקְקִים חִקְקֵי־אָוֶן וּֽמְכַתְּבִים עָמָל כִּתֵּֽבוּ׃ |
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
| לְהַטּוֹת מִדִּין דַּלִּים וְלִגְזֹל מִשְׁפַּט עֲנִיֵּי עַמִּי לִֽהְיוֹת אַלְמָנוֹת שְׁלָלָם וְאֶת־יְתוֹמִים יָבֹֽזּוּ׃ |
3 And what will ye do in the day of punishment, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
| וּמַֽה־תַּעֲשׂוּ לְיוֹם פְּקֻדָּה וּלְשׁוֹאָה מִמֶּרְחָק תָּבוֹא עַל־מִי תָּנוּסוּ לְעֶזְרָה וְאָנָה תַעַזְבוּ כְּבוֹדְכֶֽם׃ |
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
| בִּלְתִּי כָרַע תַּחַת אַסִּיר וְתַחַת הֲרוּגִים יִפֹּלוּ בְּכׇל־זֹאת לֹא־שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָֽה׃ |
5 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
| הוֹי אַשּׁוּר שֵׁבֶט אַפִּי וּמַטֶּה־הוּא בְיָדָם זַעְמִֽי׃ |
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I command him, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
| בְּגוֹי חָנֵף אֲשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ וְעַל־עַם עֶבְרָתִי אֲצַוֶּנּוּ לִשְׁלֹל שָׁלָל וְלָבֹז בַּז (ולשימו) [וּלְשׂוּמוֹ] מִרְמָס כְּחֹמֶר חוּצֽוֹת׃ |
7 Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
| וְהוּא לֹא־כֵן יְדַמֶּה וּלְבָבוֹ לֹא־כֵן יַחְשֹׁב כִּי לְהַשְׁמִיד בִּלְבָבוֹ וּלְהַכְרִית גּוֹיִם לֹא מְעָֽט׃ |
8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
| כִּי יֹאמַר הֲלֹא שָׂרַי יַחְדָּו מְלָכִֽים׃ |
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
| הֲלֹא כְּכַרְכְּמִישׁ כַּלְנוֹ אִם־לֹא כְאַרְפַּד חֲמָת אִם־לֹא כְדַמֶּשֶׂק שֹֽׁמְרֽוֹן׃ |
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
| כַּֽאֲשֶׁר מָצְאָה יָדִי לְמַמְלְכֹת הָֽאֱלִיל וּפְסִילֵיהֶם מִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וּמִשֹּׁמְרֽוֹן׃ |
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
| הֲלֹא כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי לְשֹׁמְרוֹן וְלֶאֱלִילֶיהָ כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לִירֽוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְלַעֲצַבֶּֽיהָ׃ |
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
| וְהָיָה כִּֽי־יְבַצַּע אֲדֹנָי אֶת־כׇּל־מַֽעֲשֵׂהוּ בְּהַר צִיּוֹן וּבִירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם אֶפְקֹד עַל־פְּרִֽי־גֹדֶל לְבַב מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר וְעַל־תִּפְאֶרֶת רוּם עֵינָֽיו׃ |
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
| כִּי אָמַר בְּכֹחַ יָדִי עָשִׂיתִי וּבְחׇכְמָתִי כִּי נְבֻנוֹתִי וְאָסִיר ׀ גְּבוּלֹת עַמִּים (ועתידתיהם) [וַעֲתֽוּדֹתֵיהֶם] שׁוֹשֵׂתִי וְאוֹרִיד כַּאבִּיר יֽוֹשְׁבִֽים׃ |
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
| וַתִּמְצָא כַקֵּן ׀ יָדִי לְחֵיל הָעַמִּים וְכֶֽאֱסֹף בֵּיצִים עֲזֻבוֹת כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ אֲנִי אָסָפְתִּי וְלֹא הָיָה נֹדֵד כָּנָף וּפֹצֶה פֶה וּמְצַפְצֵֽף׃ |
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it, or as if the staff should lift itself, as if it were no wood.
| הֲיִתְפָּאֵר הַגַּרְזֶן עַל הַחֹצֵב בּוֹ אִם־יִתְגַּדֵּל הַמַּשּׂוֹר עַל־מְנִיפוֹ כְּהָנִיף שֵׁבֶט וְאֶת־מְרִימָיו כְּהָרִים מַטֶּה לֹא־עֵֽץ׃ |
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
| לָכֵן יְשַׁלַּח הָֽאָדוֹן יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּמִשְׁמַנָּיו רָזוֹן וְתַחַת כְּבֹדוֹ יֵקַד יְקֹד כִּיקוֹד אֵֽשׁ׃ |
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
| וְהָיָה אֽוֹר־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֵשׁ וּקְדוֹשׁוֹ לְלֶהָבָה וּבָעֲרָה וְאָכְלָה שִׁיתוֹ וּשְׁמִירוֹ בְּיוֹם אֶחָֽד׃ |
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
| וּכְבוֹד יַעְרוֹ וְכַרְמִלּוֹ מִנֶּפֶשׁ וְעַד־בָּשָׂר יְכַלֶּה וְהָיָה כִּמְסֹס נֹסֵֽס׃ |
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
| וּשְׁאָר עֵץ יַעְרוֹ מִסְפָּר יִהְיוּ וְנַעַר יִכְתְּבֵֽם׃ |
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
| וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֹא־יוֹסִיף עוֹד שְׁאָר יִשְׂרָאֵל וּפְלֵיטַת בֵּֽית־יַעֲקֹב לְהִשָּׁעֵן עַל־מַכֵּהוּ וְנִשְׁעַן עַל־יְהֹוָה קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בֶּאֱמֶֽת׃ |
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
| שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב שְׁאָר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־אֵל גִּבּֽוֹר׃ |
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the full end decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
| כִּי אִם־יִהְיֶה עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחוֹל הַיָּם שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב בּוֹ כִּלָּיוֹן חָרוּץ שׁוֹטֵף צְדָקָֽה׃ |
23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a full end, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
| כִּי כָלָה וְנֶחֱרָצָה אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת עֹשֶׂה בְּקֶרֶב כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
| לָכֵן כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת אַל־תִּירָא עַמִּי יֹשֵׁב צִיּוֹן מֵאַשּׁוּר בַּשֵּׁבֶט יַכֶּכָּה וּמַטֵּהוּ יִשָּֽׂא־עָלֶיךָ בְּדֶרֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
| כִּי־עוֹד מְעַט מִזְעָר וְכָלָה זַעַם וְאַפִּי עַל־תַּבְלִיתָֽם׃ |
26 And the LORD of hosts shall raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
| וְעוֹרֵר עָלָיו יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת שׁוֹט כְּמַכַּת מִדְיָן בְּצוּר עוֹרֵב וּמַטֵּהוּ עַל־הַיָּם וּנְשָׂאוֹ בְּדֶרֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
| וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יָסוּר סֻבֳּלוֹ מֵעַל שִׁכְמֶךָ וְעֻלּוֹ מֵעַל צַוָּארֶךָ וְחֻבַּל עֹל מִפְּנֵי־שָֽׁמֶן׃ |
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath attended to his carriages:
| בָּא עַל־עַיַּת עָבַר בְּמִגְרוֹן לְמִכְמָשׂ יַפְקִיד כֵּלָֽיו׃ |
29 They have gone over the pass: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled.
| עָֽבְרוּ מַעְבָּרָה גֶּבַע מָלוֹן לָנוּ חָֽרְדָה הָרָמָה גִּבְעַת שָׁאוּל נָֽסָה׃ |
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
| צַֽהֲלִי קוֹלֵךְ בַּת־גַּלִּים הַקְשִׁיבִי לַיְשָׁה עֲנִיָּה עֲנָתֽוֹת׃ |
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
| נָֽדְדָה מַדְמֵנָה יֹשְׁבֵי הַגֵּבִים הֵעִֽיזוּ׃ |
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
| עוֹד הַיּוֹם בְּנֹב לַעֲמֹד יְנֹפֵף יָדוֹ הַר (בית) [בַּת־]צִיּוֹן גִּבְעַת יְרֽוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
| הִנֵּה הָאָדוֹן יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת מְסָעֵף פֻּארָה בְּמַעֲרָצָה וְרָמֵי הַקּוֹמָה גְּדוּעִים וְהַגְּבֹהִים יִשְׁפָּֽלוּ׃ |
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
| וְנִקַּף סִֽבְכֵי הַיַּעַר בַּבַּרְזֶל וְהַלְּבָנוֹן בְּאַדִּיר יִפּֽוֹל׃ |
