Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
| הֵן לְצֶדֶק יִמְלָךְ־מֶלֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִים לְמִשְׁפָּט יָשֹֽׂרוּ׃ |
2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
| וְהָיָה־אִישׁ כְּמַֽחֲבֵא־רוּחַ וְסֵתֶר זָרֶם כְּפַלְגֵי־מַיִם בְּצָיוֹן כְּצֵל סֶֽלַע־כָּבֵד בְּאֶרֶץ עֲיֵפָֽה׃ |
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
| וְלֹא תִשְׁעֶינָה עֵינֵי רֹאִים וְאָזְנֵי שֹׁמְעִים תִּקְשַֽׁבְנָה׃ |
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
| וּלְבַב נִמְהָרִים יָבִין לָדָעַת וּלְשׁוֹן עִלְּגִים תְּמַהֵר לְדַבֵּר צָחֽוֹת׃ |
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful.
| לֹֽא־יִקָּרֵא עוֹד לְנָבָל נָדִיב וּלְכִילַי לֹא יֵֽאָמֵר שֽׁוֹעַ׃ |
6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry; and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
| כִּי נָבָל נְבָלָה יְדַבֵּר וְלִבּוֹ יַעֲשֶׂה־אָוֶן לַעֲשׂוֹת חֹנֶף וּלְדַבֵּר אֶל־יְהוָה תּוֹעָה לְהָרִיק נֶפֶשׁ רָעֵב וּמַשְׁקֶה צָמֵא יַחְסִֽיר׃ |
7 The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
| וְכֵלַי כֵּלָיו רָעִים הוּא זִמּוֹת יָעָץ לְחַבֵּל ענוים עֲנִיִּים בְּאִמְרֵי־שֶׁקֶר וּבְדַבֵּר אֶבְיוֹן מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
| וְנָדִיב נְדִיבוֹת יָעָץ וְהוּא עַל־נְדִיבוֹת יָקֽוּם׃ |
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear to my speech.
| נָשִׁים שַֽׁאֲנַנּוֹת קֹמְנָה שְׁמַעְנָה קוֹלִי בָּנוֹת בֹּֽטחוֹת הַאְזֵנָּה אִמְרָתִֽי׃ |
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
| יָמִים עַל־שָׁנָה תִּרְגַּזְנָה בֹּֽטְחוֹת כִּי כָּלָה בָצִיר אֹסֶף בְּלִי יָבֽוֹא׃ |
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip ye, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
| חִרְדוּ שַֽׁאֲנַנּוֹת רְגָזָה בֹּֽטְחוֹת פְּשֹׁטָֽה וְעֹרָה וַחֲגוֹרָה עַל־חֲלָצָֽיִם׃ |
12 They shall lament for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
| עַל־שָׁדַיִם סֹֽפְדִים עַל־שְׂדֵי־חֶמֶד עַל־גֶּפֶן פֹּרִיָּֽה׃ |
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; also, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
| עַל אַדְמַת עַמִּי קוֹץ שָׁמִיר תַּֽעֲלֶה כִּי עַל־כָּל־בָּתֵּי מָשׂוֹשׂ קִרְיָה עַלִּיזָֽה׃ |
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
| כִּֽי־אַרְמוֹן נֻטָּשׁ הֲמוֹן עִיר עֻזָּב עֹפֶל וָבַחַן הָיָה בְעַד מְעָרוֹת עַד־עוֹלָם מְשׂוֹשׂ פְּרָאִים מִרְעֵה עֲדָרִֽים׃ |
15 Until the spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness shall be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted for a forest.
| עַד־יֵעָרֶה עָלֵינוּ רוּחַ מִמָּרוֹם וְהָיָה מִדְבָּר לַכַּרְמֶל וכרמל וְהַכַּרְמֶל לַיַּעַר יֵחָשֵֽׁב׃ |
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
| וְשָׁכַן בַּמִּדְבָּר מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה בַּכַּרְמֶל תֵּשֵֽׁב׃ |
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.
| וְהָיָה מַעֲשֵׂה הַצְּדָקָה שָׁלוֹם וַֽעֲבֹדַת הַצְּדָקָה הַשְׁקֵט וָבֶטַח עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ |
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places;
| וְיָשַׁב עַמִּי בִּנְוֵה שָׁלוֹם וּֽבְמִשְׁכְּנוֹת מִבְטַחִים וּבִמְנוּחֹת שַׁאֲנַנּֽוֹת׃ |
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
| וּבָרַד בְּרֶדֶת הַיָּעַר וּבַשִּׁפְלָה תִּשְׁפַּל הָעִֽיר׃ |
20 Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
| אַשְׁרֵיכֶם זֹרְעֵי עַל־כָּל־מָיִם מְשַׁלְּחֵי רֶֽגֶל־הַשּׁוֹר וְהַחֲמֽוֹר׃ |
