Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
| הִנֵּ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה בֹּוקֵ֥ק הָאָ֖רֶץ וּבֹֽולְקָ֑הּ וְעִוָּ֣ה פָנֶ֔יהָ וְהֵפִ֖יץ יֹשְׁבֶֽיהָ׃ |
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
| וְהָיָ֤ה כָעָם֙ כַּכֹּהֵ֔ן כַּעֶ֙בֶד֙ כַּֽאדֹנָ֔יו כַּשִּׁפְחָ֖ה כַּגְּבִרְתָּ֑הּ כַּקֹּונֶה֙ כַּמֹּוכֵ֔ר כַּמַּלְוֶה֙ כַּלֹּוֶ֔ה כַּנֹּשֶׁ֕ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר נֹשֶׁ֥א בֹֽו׃ |
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
| הִבֹּ֧וק ׀ תִּבֹּ֛וק הָאָ֖רֶץ וְהִבֹּ֣וז ׀ תִּבֹּ֑וז כִּ֣י יְהוָ֔ה דִּבֶּ֖ר אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃ |
4 The earth mourneth [and] fadeth away, the world languisheth [and] fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
| אָבְלָ֤ה נָֽבְלָה֙ הָאָ֔רֶץ אֻמְלְלָ֥ה נָבְלָ֖ה תֵּבֵ֑ל אֻמְלָ֖לוּ מְרֹ֥ום עַם־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
5 The earth also is defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
| וְהָאָ֥רֶץ חָנְפָ֖ה תַּ֣חַת יֹשְׁבֶ֑יהָ כִּֽי־עָבְר֤וּ תֹורֹת֙ חָ֣לְפוּ חֹ֔ק הֵפֵ֖רוּ בְּרִ֥ית עֹולָֽם׃ |
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell in it are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
| עַל־כֵּ֗ן אָלָה֙ אָ֣כְלָה אֶ֔רֶץ וַֽיֶּאְשְׁמ֖וּ יֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָ֑הּ עַל־כֵּ֗ן חָרוּ֙ יֹ֣שְׁבֵי אֶ֔רֶץ וְנִשְׁאַ֥ר אֱנֹ֖ושׁ מִזְעָֽר׃ |
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
| אָבַ֥ל תִּירֹ֖ושׁ אֻמְלְלָה־גָ֑פֶן נֶאֶנְח֖וּ כָּל־שִׂמְחֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
| שָׁבַת֙ מְשֹׂ֣ושׂ תֻּפִּ֔ים חָדַ֖ל שְׁאֹ֣ון עַלִּיזִ֑ים שָׁבַ֖ת מְשֹׂ֥ושׂ כִּנֹּֽור׃ |
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
| בַּשִּׁ֖יר לֹ֣א יִשְׁתּוּ־יָ֑יִן יֵמַ֥ר שֵׁכָ֖ר לְשֹׁתָֽיו׃ |
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may enter.
| נִשְׁבְּרָ֖ה קִרְיַת־תֹּ֑הוּ סֻגַּ֥ר כָּל־בַּ֖יִת מִבֹּֽוא׃ |
11 [There] is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
| צְוָחָ֥ה עַל־הַיַּ֖יִן בַּֽחוּצֹ֑ות עָֽרְבָה֙ כָּל־שִׂמְחָ֔ה גָּלָ֖ה מְשֹׂ֥ושׂ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
| נִשְׁאַ֥ר בָּעִ֖יר שַׁמָּ֑ה וּשְׁאִיָּ֖ה יֻכַּת־שָֽׁעַר׃ |
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, [there shall be] as the shaking of an olive-tree, [and] as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
| כִּ֣י כֹ֥ה יִהְיֶ֛ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּתֹ֣וךְ הָֽעַמִּ֑ים כְּנֹ֣קֶף זַ֔יִת כְּעֹולֵלֹ֖ת אִם־כָּלָ֥ה בָצִֽיר׃ |
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
| הֵ֛מָּה יִשְׂא֥וּ קֹולָ֖ם יָרֹ֑נּוּ בִּגְאֹ֣ון יְהוָ֔ה צָהֲל֖וּ מִיָּֽם׃ |
15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, [even] the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
| עַל־כֵּ֥ן בָּאֻרִ֖ים כַּבְּד֣וּ יְהוָ֑ה בְּאִיֵּ֣י הַיָּ֔ם שֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס |
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, [even] glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
| מִכְּנַ֨ף הָאָ֜רֶץ זְמִרֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ צְבִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֔יק וָאֹמַ֛ר רָזִי־לִ֥י רָֽזִי־לִ֖י אֹ֣וי לִ֑י בֹּגְדִ֣ים בָּגָ֔דוּ וּבֶ֥גֶד בֹּוגְדִ֖ים בָּגָֽדוּ׃ |
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
| פַּ֥חַד וָפַ֖חַת וָפָ֑ח עָלֶ֖יךָ יֹושֵׁ֥ב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
| וֽ͏ְ֠הָיָה הַנָּ֞ס מִקֹּ֤ול הַפַּ֙חַד֙ יִפֹּ֣ל אֶל־הַפַּ֔חַת וְהָֽעֹולֶה֙ מִתֹּ֣וךְ הַפַּ֔חַת יִלָּכֵ֖ד בַּפָּ֑ח כִּֽי־אֲרֻבֹּ֤ות מִמָּרֹום֙ נִפְתָּ֔חוּ וַֽיִּרְעֲשׁ֖וּ מֹ֥וסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃ |
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is entirely dissolved, the earth is exceedingly moved.
| רֹ֥עָה הִֽתְרֹעֲעָ֖ה הָאָ֑רֶץ פֹּ֤ור הִֽתְפֹּורְרָה֙ אֶ֔רֶץ מֹ֥וט הִֽתְמֹוטְטָ֖ה אָֽרֶץ׃ |
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression of it shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
| נֹ֣ועַ תָּנ֤וּעַ אֶ֙רֶץ֙ כַּשִּׁכֹּ֔ור וְהִֽתְנֹודְדָ֖ה כַּמְּלוּנָ֑ה וְכָבַ֤ד עָלֶ֙יהָ֙ פִּשְׁעָ֔הּ וְנָפְלָ֖ה וְלֹא־תֹסִ֥יף קֽוּם׃ ס |
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
| וְהָיָה֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא יִפְקֹ֧ד יְהוָ֛ה עַל־צְבָ֥א הַמָּרֹ֖ום בַּמָּרֹ֑ום וְעַל־מַלְכֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָ֖ה עַל־הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ |
22 And they shall be gathered, [as] prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
| וְאֻסְּפ֨וּ אֲסֵפָ֤ה אַסִּיר֙ עַל־בֹּ֔ור וְסֻגְּר֖וּ עַל־מַסְגֵּ֑ר וּמֵרֹ֥ב יָמִ֖ים יִפָּקֵֽדוּ׃ |
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
| וְחָֽפְרָה֙ הַלְּבָנָ֔ה וּבֹושָׁ֖ה הַֽחַמָּ֑ה כִּֽי־מָלַ֞ךְ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֗ות בְּהַ֤ר צִיֹּון֙ וּבִיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם וְנֶ֥גֶד זְקֵנָ֖יו כָּבֹֽוד׃ פ |
