יחזקאל 16
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
| בֶּן־אָדָם הוֹדַע אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶת־תּוֹעֲבֹתֶֽיהָ׃ | 2 |
“Son of man, inform Jerusalem about her abominations,
| וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם מְכֹרֹתַיִךְ וּמֹלְדֹתַיִךְ מֵאֶרֶץ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי אָבִיךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וְאִמֵּךְ חִתִּֽית׃ | 3 |
and declare, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to Jerusalem: Your beginning and your birth took place in the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
| וּמוֹלְדוֹתַיִךְ בְּיוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת אוֹתָךְ לֹא־כָרַּת שָׁרֵּךְ וּבְמַיִם לֹא־רֻחַצְתְּ לְמִשְׁעִי וְהׇמְלֵחַ לֹא הֻמְלַחַתְּ וְהׇחְתֵּל לֹא חֻתָּֽלְתְּ׃ | 4 |
On the day of your birth, your mother did not cut your navel, nor did she purify you in water or rub you down with salt, or wrap cloth around you.
| לֹא־חָסָה עָלַיִךְ עַיִן לַעֲשׂוֹת לָךְ אַחַת מֵאֵלֶּה לְחֻמְלָה עָלָיִךְ וַֽתֻּשְׁלְכִי אֶל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בְּגֹעַל נַפְשֵׁךְ בְּיוֹם הֻלֶּדֶת אֹתָֽךְ׃ | 5 |
No eye had compassion for you to do any of these things for you, to be compassionate toward you. On the day that you were born, with loathing for your life, you were thrown out into the open field.
| וָאֶעֱבֹר עָלַיִךְ וָֽאֶרְאֵךְ מִתְבּוֹסֶסֶת בְּדָמָיִךְ וָאֹמַר לָךְ בְּדָמַיִךְ חֲיִי וָאֹמַר לָךְ בְּדָמַיִךְ חֲיִֽי׃ | 6 |
But I passed by you, and I saw you writhing in your own blood; so I said to you in your blood, “Live!” I said to you in your blood, “Live!”
| רְבָבָה כְּצֶמַח הַשָּׂדֶה נְתַתִּיךְ וַתִּרְבִּי וַֽתִּגְדְּלִי וַתָּבֹאִי בַּעֲדִי עֲדָיִים שָׁדַיִם נָכֹנוּ וּשְׂעָרֵךְ צִמֵּחַ וְאַתְּ עֵרֹם וְעֶרְיָֽה׃ | 7 |
I made you grow like a plant in a field. You multiplied and became great, and you became the jewel of jewels. Your breasts became firm, and your hair grew thick, though you had been naked and bare.
| וָאֶעֱבֹר עָלַיִךְ וָאֶרְאֵךְ וְהִנֵּה עִתֵּךְ עֵת דֹּדִים וָאֶפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפִי עָלַיִךְ וָאֲכַסֶּה עֶרְוָתֵךְ וָאֶשָּׁבַֽע לָךְ וָאָבוֹא בִבְרִית אֹתָךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וַתִּֽהְיִי־לִֽי׃ | 8 |
I passed by you again, and I saw you. See! the time of love came for you, so I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. Then I swore to you and brought you into a covenant—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and you became mine.
| וָאֶרְחָצֵךְ בַּמַּיִם וָאֶשְׁטֹף דָּמַיִךְ מֵעָלָיִךְ וָאֲסֻכֵךְ בַּשָּֽׁמֶן׃ | 9 |
So I washed you with water and rinsed your blood off you, and I anointed you with oil.
| וָאַלְבִּישֵׁךְ רִקְמָה וָאֶנְעֲלֵךְ תָּחַשׁ וָאֶחְבְּשֵׁךְ בַּשֵּׁשׁ וַאֲכַסֵּךְ מֶֽשִׁי׃ | 10 |
I dressed you in embroidered clothes and placed leather sandals on your feet. I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
| וָאֶעְדֵּךְ עֶדִי וָאֶתְּנָה צְמִידִים עַל־יָדַיִךְ וְרָבִיד עַל־גְּרוֹנֵֽךְ׃ | 11 |
Next I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain around your neck.
| וָאֶתֵּֽן־נֶזֶם עַל־אַפֵּךְ וַֽעֲגִילִים עַל־אׇזְנָיִךְ וַעֲטֶרֶת תִּפְאֶרֶת בְּרֹאשֵֽׁךְ׃ | 12 |
I put a nose ring in your nostrils and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
| וַתַּעְדִּי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּמַלְבּוּשֵׁךְ (ששי) [שֵׁשׁ] וָמֶשִׁי וְרִקְמָה סֹלֶת וּדְבַשׁ וָשֶׁמֶן (אכלתי) [אָכָלְתְּ] וַתִּיפִי בִּמְאֹד מְאֹד וַֽתִּצְלְחִי לִמְלוּכָֽה׃ | 13 |
So you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes; you ate fine flour, honey, and oil, and you were very beautiful, and you became a queen.
| וַיֵּצֵא לָךְ שֵׁם בַּגּוֹיִם בְּיׇפְיֵךְ כִּי ׀ כָּלִיל הוּא בַּהֲדָרִי אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי עָלַיִךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ | 14 |
Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect in the majesty that I had given to you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
| וַתִּבְטְחִי בְיׇפְיֵךְ וַתִּזְנִי עַל־שְׁמֵךְ וַתִּשְׁפְּכִי אֶת־תַּזְנוּתַיִךְ עַל־כׇּל־עוֹבֵר לוֹ־יֶֽהִי׃ | 15 |
But you trusted in your own beauty, and you acted like a prostitute because of your fame; you poured out your acts of prostitution on everyone who passed by, so that your beauty became his.
| וַתִּקְחִי מִבְּגָדַיִךְ וַתַּֽעֲשִׂי־לָךְ בָּמוֹת טְלֻאוֹת וַתִּזְנִי עֲלֵיהֶם לֹא בָאוֹת וְלֹא יִהְיֶֽה׃ | 16 |
Then you took your clothes and with them you made high places for yourself decorated in various colors, and there you acted like a prostitute. This should not have happened. Nor should such a thing exist.
| וַתִּקְחִי כְּלֵי תִפְאַרְתֵּךְ מִזְּהָבִי וּמִכַּסְפִּי אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לָךְ וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָךְ צַלְמֵי זָכָר וַתִּזְנִי־בָֽם׃ | 17 |
You took the fine jewels of the gold and silver that I gave you, and you made for yourself male figures, and you did with them as a prostitute would do.
| וַתִּקְחִי אֶת־בִּגְדֵי רִקְמָתֵךְ וַתְּכַסִּים וְשַׁמְנִי וּקְטׇרְתִּי (נתתי) [נָתַתְּ] לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃ | 18 |
You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set my oils and perfumes before them.
| וְלַחְמִי אֲשֶׁר־נָתַתִּי לָךְ סֹלֶת וָשֶׁמֶן וּדְבַשׁ הֶאֱכַלְתִּיךְ וּנְתַתִּיהוּ לִפְנֵיהֶם לְרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ וַיֶּהִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ | 19 |
My bread I gave you—made with fine flour, oil, and honey—you set before them for a fragrant aroma, for this is what happened—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
| וַתִּקְחִי אֶת־בָּנַיִךְ וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר יָלַדְתְּ לִי וַתִּזְבָּחִים לָהֶם לֶאֱכוֹל הַמְעַט (מתזנותך) [מִתַּזְנוּתָֽיִךְ]׃ | 20 |
Then you took your sons and daughters whom you bore for me, and you sacrificed them to the images to be devoured as food. Are your acts of prostitution a small matter?
| וַֽתִּשְׁחֲטִי אֶת־בָּנָי וַֽתִּתְּנִים בְּהַעֲבִיר אוֹתָם לָהֶֽם׃ | 21 |
You slaughtered my children to the idols and made them pass through the fire.
| וְאֵת כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבֹתַיִךְ וְתַזְנֻתַיִךְ לֹא (זכרתי) [זָכַרְתְּ] אֶת־יְמֵי נְעוּרָיִךְ בִּֽהְיוֹתֵךְ עֵירֹם וְעֶרְיָה מִתְבּוֹסֶסֶת בְּדָמֵךְ הָיִֽית׃ | 22 |
In all your abominations and your acts of prostitution you have not thought about the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare as you thrashed about in your blood.
| וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי כׇּל־רָעָתֵךְ אוֹי אוֹי לָךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ | 23 |
Woe! Woe to you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—therefore, in addition to all this wickedness,
| וַתִּבְנִי־לָךְ גָּב וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָךְ רָמָה בְּכׇל־רְחֽוֹב׃ | 24 |
you built yourself a vaulted chamber in every public place.
| אֶל־כׇּל־רֹאשׁ דֶּרֶךְ בָּנִית רָמָתֵךְ וַתְּתַֽעֲבִי אֶת־יׇפְיֵךְ וַתְּפַשְּׂקִי אֶת־רַגְלַיִךְ לְכׇל־עוֹבֵר וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־[תַּזְנוּתָֽיִךְ] (תזנותך)׃ | 25 |
You built your high place at the head of every road and made your beauty a disgrace, and you spread your legs to anyone who passed by, and you multiplied your acts of prostitution.
| וַתִּזְנִי אֶל־בְּנֵי־מִצְרַיִם שְׁכֵנַיִךְ גִּדְלֵי בָשָׂר וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־תַּזְנֻתֵךְ לְהַכְעִיסֵֽנִי׃ | 26 |
You have acted like a prostitute with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and you committed many more acts of prostitution, provoking me to anger.
| וְהִנֵּה נָטִיתִי יָדִי עָלַיִךְ וָאֶגְרַע חֻקֵּךְ וָאֶתְּנֵךְ בְּנֶפֶשׁ שֹׂנְאוֹתַיִךְ בְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים הַנִּכְלָמוֹת מִדַּרְכֵּךְ זִמָּֽה׃ | 27 |
See! I will strike you with my hand and cut off your food. I will hand your life over to your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your obscene behavior.
| וַתִּזְנִי אֶל־בְּנֵי אַשּׁוּר מִבִּלְתִּי שׇׂבְעָתֵךְ וַתִּזְנִים וְגַם לֹא שָׂבָֽעַתְּ׃ | 28 |
You have acted like a prostitute with the Assyrians because you could not be satisfied. You acted like a prostitute and still were not satisfied.
| וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־תַּזְנוּתֵךְ אֶל־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן כַּשְׂדִּימָה וְגַם־בְּזֹאת לֹא שָׂבָֽעַתְּ׃ | 29 |
You performed many more acts of prostitution in the land of the merchants of Chaldea, and even this did not satisfy you.
| מָה אֲמֻלָה לִבָּתֵךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה בַּֽעֲשׂוֹתֵךְ אֶת־כׇּל־אֵלֶּה מַעֲשֵׂה אִשָּֽׁה־זוֹנָה שַׁלָּֽטֶת׃ | 30 |
How sick is your heart—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—that you would do all these things, deeds of a shameless prostitute?
| בִּבְנוֹתַיִךְ גַּבֵּךְ בְּרֹאשׁ כׇּל־דֶּרֶךְ וְרָמָתֵךְ (עשיתי) [עָשִׂית] בְּכׇל־רְחוֹב וְלֹא־[הָיִית] (הייתי) כַּזּוֹנָה לְקַלֵּס אֶתְנָֽן׃ | 31 |
You have built your high places at the head of every street and made your vaulted chamber in every public place. Yet you were not like a prostitute because you refused to take payment.
| הָאִשָּׁה הַמְּנָאָפֶת תַּחַת אִישָׁהּ תִּקַּח אֶת־זָרִֽים׃ | 32 |
You adulterous woman, you accept strangers instead of your husband.
| לְכׇל־זֹנוֹת יִתְּנוּ־נֵדֶה וְאַתְּ נָתַתְּ אֶת־נְדָנַיִךְ לְכׇל־מְאַֽהֲבַיִךְ וַתִּשְׁחֳדִי אוֹתָם לָבוֹא אֵלַיִךְ מִסָּבִיב בְּתַזְנוּתָֽיִךְ׃ | 33 |
People give payment to every prostitute, but you give your wages to all your lovers and bribe them to come to you from all around for your acts of prostitution.
| וַיְהִי־בָךְ הֵפֶךְ מִן־הַנָּשִׁים בְּתַזְנוּתַיִךְ וְאַחֲרַיִךְ לֹא זוּנָּה וּבְתִתֵּךְ אֶתְנָן וְאֶתְנַן לֹא נִתַּן־לָךְ וַתְּהִי לְהֶֽפֶךְ׃ | 34 |
So there is a difference between you and those other women, since no one goes to you to ask you to sleep with them. Instead, you pay them. No one pays you.
| לָכֵן זוֹנָה שִׁמְעִי דְּבַר־יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 35 |
Therefore, you prostitute, listen to the word of Yahweh.
| כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה יַעַן הִשָּׁפֵךְ נְחֻשְׁתֵּךְ וַתִּגָּלֶה עֶרְוָתֵךְ בְּתַזְנוּתַיִךְ עַל־מְאַֽהֲבָיִךְ וְעַל כׇּל־גִּלּוּלֵי תוֹעֲבוֹתַיִךְ וְכִדְמֵי בָנַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתְּ לָהֶֽם׃ | 36 |
The Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have poured out your lust and uncovered your nakedness through your acts of prostitution with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood,
| לָכֵן הִנְנִי מְקַבֵּץ אֶת־כׇּל־מְאַהֲבַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר עָרַבְתְּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְאֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתְּ עַל כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר שָׂנֵאת וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֹתָם עָלַיִךְ מִסָּבִיב וְגִלֵּיתִי עֶרְוָתֵךְ אֲלֵהֶם וְרָאוּ אֶת־כׇּל־עֶרְוָתֵֽךְ׃ | 37 |
therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers that you have met, all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated, and I will gather them against you on every side. I will uncover your nakedness to them so they see all your nakedness.
| וּשְׁפַטְתִּיךְ מִשְׁפְּטֵי נֹאֲפוֹת וְשֹׁפְכֹת דָּם וּנְתַתִּיךְ דַּם חֵמָה וְקִנְאָֽה׃ | 38 |
For I will punish you for adultery and the shedding of blood, and I will bring on you the bloodshed of my anger and passion.
| וְנָתַתִּי אֹתָךְ בְּיָדָם וְהָרְסוּ גַבֵּךְ וְנִתְּצוּ רָמֹתַיִךְ וְהִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתָךְ בְּגָדַיִךְ וְלָקְחוּ כְּלֵי תִפְאַרְתֵּךְ וְהִנִּיחוּךְ עֵירֹם וְעֶרְיָֽה׃ | 39 |
I will give you into their hands so they will throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your high places and they will strip you of your clothes and take all of your jewelry. They will leave you naked and bare.
| וְהֶעֱלוּ עָלַיִךְ קָהָל וְרָגְמוּ אוֹתָךְ בָּאָבֶן וּבִתְּקוּךְ בְּחַרְבוֹתָֽם׃ | 40 |
Then they will bring up a crowd against you and stone you with stones, and they will cut you apart with their swords.
| וְשָׂרְפוּ בָתַּיִךְ בָּאֵשׁ וְעָשׂוּ־בָךְ שְׁפָטִים לְעֵינֵי נָשִׁים רַבּוֹת וְהִשְׁבַּתִּיךְ מִזּוֹנָה וְגַם־אֶתְנַן לֹא תִתְּנִי־עֽוֹד׃ | 41 |
They will burn your houses and will perform many acts of punishment on you in the sight of many women, for I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers.
| וַהֲנִחֹתִי חֲמָתִי בָּךְ וְסָרָה קִנְאָתִי מִמֵּךְ וְשָׁקַטְתִּי וְלֹא אֶכְעַס עֽוֹד׃ | 42 |
Then I will calm my fury against you; my anger will leave you, for I will be satisfied, and will no longer be angry.
| יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־[זָכַרְתְּ] (זכרתי) אֶת־יְמֵי נְעוּרַיִךְ וַתִּרְגְּזִי־לִי בְּכׇל־אֵלֶּה וְגַם־אֲנִי הֵא דַּרְכֵּךְ ׀ בְּרֹאשׁ נָתַתִּי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְלֹא (עשיתי) [עָשִׂית] אֶת־הַזִּמָּה עַל כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבֹתָֽיִךְ׃ | 43 |
Because you did not call to mind the days of your youth and have made me shake with anger because of all these things, therefore, behold! I myself will bring down on your own head the punishment for what you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Have you not added prostitution to all your other detestable practices?
| הִנֵּה כׇּל־הַמֹּשֵׁל עָלַיִךְ יִמְשֹׁל לֵאמֹר כְּאִמָּהֿ בִּתָּֽהּ׃ | 44 |
Behold! Everyone who speaks proverbs concerning you will say, “As the mother is, so also is her daughter.”
| בַּת־אִמֵּךְ אַתְּ גֹּעֶלֶת אִישָׁהּ וּבָנֶיהָ וַאֲחוֹת אֲחוֹתֵךְ אַתְּ אֲשֶׁר גָּֽעֲלוּ אַנְשֵׁיהֶן וּבְנֵיהֶן אִמְּכֶן חִתִּית וַאֲבִיכֶן אֱמֹרִֽי׃ | 45 |
You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her children, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.
| וַאֲחוֹתֵךְ הַגְּדוֹלָה שֹׁמְרוֹן הִיא וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ הַיּוֹשֶׁבֶת עַל־שְׂמֹאולֵךְ וַאֲחוֹתֵךְ הַקְּטַנָּה מִמֵּךְ הַיּוֹשֶׁבֶת מִֽימִינֵךְ סְדֹם וּבְנוֹתֶֽיהָ׃ | 46 |
Your older sister was Samaria and her daughters were the ones living in the north, while your younger sister was the one living south of you, that is, Sodom and her daughters.
| וְלֹא בְדַרְכֵיהֶן הָלַכְתְּ וּכְתוֹעֲבוֹתֵיהֶן (עשיתי) [עָשִׂית] כִּמְעַט קָט וַתַּשְׁחִתִי מֵהֵן בְּכׇל־דְּרָכָֽיִךְ׃ | 47 |
You not only walked in their ways and copied their behavior and practices, but in all your ways you have been worse than they were.
| חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה אִם־עָֽשְׂתָה סְדֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ הִיא וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית אַתְּ וּבְנוֹתָֽיִךְ׃ | 48 |
As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—your sister Sodom and her daughters, have not done as much evil as you and your daughters have done.
| הִנֵּה־זֶה הָיָה עֲוֺן סְדֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ גָּאוֹן שִׂבְעַת־לֶחֶם וְשַׁלְוַת הַשְׁקֵט הָיָה לָהּ וְלִבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְיַד־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן לֹא הֶחֱזִֽיקָה׃ | 49 |
Behold! This was the sin of your sister Sodom that she was arrogant in her leisure, careless and unconcerned about anything. She did not strengthen the hands of the poor and needy people.
| וַֽתִּגְבְּהֶינָה וַתַּֽעֲשֶׂינָה תוֹעֵבָה לְפָנָי וָאָסִיר אֶתְהֶן כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאִֽיתִי׃ | 50 |
She was arrogant and committed disgusting actions before me, so I took them away just as you have seen.
| וְשֹׁמְרוֹן כַּחֲצִי חַטֹּאתַיִךְ לֹא חָטָאָה וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־תּוֹעֲבוֹתַיִךְ מֵהֵנָּה וַתְּצַדְּקִי אֶת־[אֲחוֹתַיִךְ] (אחותך) בְּכׇל־תּוֹעֲבֹתַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר (עשיתי) [עָשִֽׂית]׃ | 51 |
Neither did Samaria commit even half of your sins; instead, you have done many more disgusting things than they did, and you have shown that your sisters were better than you because of all the disgusting things that you do!
| גַּם־אַתְּ ׀ שְׂאִי כְלִמָּתֵךְ אֲשֶׁר פִּלַּלְתְּ לַאֲחוֹתֵךְ בְּחַטֹּאתַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר־הִתְעַבְתְּ מֵהֵן תִּצְדַּקְנָה מִמֵּךְ וְגַם־אַתְּ בּוֹשִׁי וּשְׂאִי כְלִמָּתֵךְ בְּצַדֶּקְתֵּךְ אַחְיוֹתֵֽךְ׃ | 52 |
Especially you, show your own shame; in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you, because of the sins you committed in all those disgusting ways. Your sisters now seem better than you. Especially you, show your own shame, for in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you.
| וְשַׁבְתִּי אֶת־שְׁבִיתְהֶן אֶת־[שְׁבוּת] (שבית) סְדֹם וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְאֶת־[שְׁבוּת] (שבית) שֹׁמְרוֹן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ (ושבית) [וּשְׁבוּת] שְׁבִיתַיִךְ בְּתוֹכָֽהְנָה׃ | 53 |
For I will restore their fortunes—the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters; but your fortunes will be among them.
| לְמַעַן תִּשְׂאִי כְלִמָּתֵךְ וְנִכְלַמְתְּ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית בְּנַחֲמֵךְ אֹתָֽן׃ | 54 |
On account of these things you will show your shame; you will be humiliated because of everything that you have done, and in this way you will be a comfort to them.
| וַאֲחוֹתַיִךְ סְדֹם וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ תָּשֹׁבְןָ לְקַדְמָתָן וְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ תָּשֹׁבְןָ לְקַדְמָתָן וְאַתְּ וּבְנוֹתַיִךְ תְּשֻׁבֶינָה לְקַדְמַתְכֶֽן׃ | 55 |
So your sister Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former condition, and Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former estate. Then you and your daughters will be restored to your former condition.
| וְלוֹא הָֽיְתָה סְדֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ לִשְׁמוּעָה בְּפִיךְ בְּיוֹם גְּאוֹנָֽיִךְ׃ | 56 |
Sodom your sister was not even mentioned by your mouth in the days when you were proud,
| בְּטֶרֶם תִּגָּלֶה רָעָתֵךְ כְּמוֹ עֵת חֶרְפַּת בְּנוֹת־אֲרָם וְכׇל־סְבִיבוֹתֶיהָ בְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים הַשָּׁאטוֹת אוֹתָךְ מִסָּבִֽיב׃ | 57 |
before your wickedness was revealed. But now you are an object of scorn to the daughters of Edom and to all the daughters of the Philistines around her. People all about despise you.
| אֶת־זִמָּתֵךְ וְאֶת־תּוֹעֲבוֹתַיִךְ אַתְּ נְשָׂאתִים נְאֻם יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 58 |
You will show your shame and your disgusting actions!—this is Yahweh's declaration!
| כִּי כֹה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה (ועשית) [וְעָשִׂיתִי] אוֹתָךְ כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית אֲשֶׁר־בָּזִית אָלָה לְהָפֵר בְּרִֽית׃ | 59 |
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will deal with you as you deserve, you who have despised your oath by breaking the covenant.
| וְזָכַרְתִּי אֲנִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אוֹתָךְ בִּימֵי נְעוּרָיִךְ וַהֲקִימוֹתִי לָךְ בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃ | 60 |
But I myself will call to mind my covenant with you made in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
| וְזָכַרְתְּ אֶת־דְּרָכַיִךְ וְנִכְלַמְתְּ בְּקַחְתֵּךְ אֶת־אֲחוֹתַיִךְ הַגְּדֹלוֹת מִמֵּךְ אֶל־הַקְּטַנּוֹת מִמֵּךְ וְנָתַתִּי אֶתְהֶן לָךְ לְבָנוֹת וְלֹא מִבְּרִיתֵֽךְ׃ | 61 |
Then you will call to mind your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older sisters and your younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.
| וַהֲקִימֹתִי אֲנִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתָּךְ וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 62 |
I myself will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
| לְמַעַן תִּזְכְּרִי וָבֹשְׁתְּ וְלֹא יִֽהְיֶה־לָּךְ עוֹד פִּתְחוֹן פֶּה מִפְּנֵי כְּלִמָּתֵךְ בְּכַפְּרִי־לָךְ לְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ | 63 |
Because of these things, you will call everything to mind and be ashamed, so you will no longer open your mouth to speak because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
