ישעה 3

1 כִּי הִנֵּה הָאָדוֹן יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת מֵסִיר מִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וּמִיהוּדָה מַשְׁעֵן וּמַשְׁעֵנָה כֹּל מִשְׁעַן־לֶחֶם וְכֹל מִשְׁעַן־מָֽיִם׃

For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.

2 גִּבּוֹר וְאִישׁ מִלְחָמָה שׁוֹפֵט וְנָבִיא וְקֹסֵם וְזָקֵֽן׃

The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.

3 שַׂר־חֲמִשִּׁים וּנְשׂוּא פָנִים וְיוֹעֵץ וַחֲכַם חֲרָשִׁים וּנְבוֹן לָֽחַשׁ׃

The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.

4 וְנָתַתִּי נְעָרִים שָׂרֵיהֶם וְתַעֲלוּלִים יִמְשְׁלוּ־בָֽם׃

And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.

5 וְנִגַּשׂ הָעָם אִישׁ בְּאִישׁ וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ יִרְהֲבוּ הַנַּעַר בַּזָּקֵן וְהַנִּקְלֶה בַּנִּכְבָּֽד׃

And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

6 כִּי־יִתְפֹּשׂ אִישׁ בְּאָחִיו בֵּית אָבִיו שִׂמְלָה לְכָה קָצִין תִּֽהְיֶה־לָּנוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָה הַזֹּאת תַּחַת יָדֶֽךָ׃

For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.

7 יִשָּׂא בַיּוֹם הַהוּא ׀ לֵאמֹר לֹא־אֶהְיֶה חֹבֵשׁ וּבְבֵיתִי אֵין לֶחֶם וְאֵין שִׂמְלָה לֹא תְשִׂימֻנִי קְצִין עָֽם׃

In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.

8 כִּי כָֽשְׁלָה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וִיהוּדָה נָפָל כִּֽי־לְשׁוֹנָם וּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶם אֶל־יְהֹוָה לַמְרוֹת עֵנֵי כְבוֹדֽוֹ׃

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.

9 הַכָּרַת פְּנֵיהֶם עָנְתָה בָּם וְחַטָּאתָם כִּסְדֹם הִגִּידוּ לֹא כִחֵדוּ אוֹי לְנַפְשָׁם כִּי־גָמְלוּ לָהֶם רָעָֽה׃

The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.

10 אִמְרוּ צַדִּיק כִּי־טוֹב כִּֽי־פְרִי מַעַלְלֵיהֶם יֹאכֵֽלוּ׃

Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.

11 אוֹי לְרָשָׁע רָע כִּֽי־גְמוּל יָדָיו יֵעָשֶׂה לּֽוֹ׃

Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12 עַמִּי נֹגְשָׂיו מְעוֹלֵל וְנָשִׁים מָשְׁלוּ בוֹ עַמִּי מְאַשְּׁרֶיךָ מַתְעִים וְדֶרֶךְ אֹרְחֹתֶיךָ בִּלֵּֽעוּ׃

As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.

13 נִצָּב לָרִיב יְהֹוָה וְעֹמֵד לָדִין עַמִּֽים׃

The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.

14 יְהֹוָה בְּמִשְׁפָּט יָבוֹא עִם־זִקְנֵי עַמּוֹ וְשָׂרָיו וְאַתֶּם בִּעַרְתֶּם הַכֶּרֶם גְּזֵלַת הֶעָנִי בְּבָתֵּיכֶֽם׃

The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.

15 (מלכם) [מַה־לָּכֶם] תְּדַכְּאוּ עַמִּי וּפְנֵי עֲנִיִּים תִּטְחָנוּ נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאֽוֹת׃

Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.

16 וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה יַעַן כִּי גָֽבְהוּ בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן וַתֵּלַכְנָה (נטוות) [נְטוּיוֹת] גָּרוֹן וּֽמְשַׂקְּרוֹת עֵינָיִם הָלוֹךְ וְטָפֹף תֵּלַכְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶם תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה׃

And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:

17 וְשִׂפַּח אֲדֹנָי קׇדְקֹד בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן וַיהֹוָה פׇּתְהֵן יְעָרֶֽה׃

The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.

18 בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יָסִיר אֲדֹנָי אֵת תִּפְאֶרֶת הָעֲכָסִים וְהַשְּׁבִיסִים וְהַשַּׂהֲרֹנִֽים׃

In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,

19 הַנְּטִפוֹת וְהַשֵּׁירוֹת וְהָרְעָלֽוֹת׃

And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,

20 הַפְּאֵרִים וְהַצְּעָדוֹת וְהַקִּשֻּׁרִים וּבָתֵּי הַנֶּפֶשׁ וְהַלְּחָשִֽׁים׃

And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,

21 הַטַּבָּעוֹת וְנִזְמֵי הָאָֽף׃

And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,

22 הַמַּֽחֲלָצוֹת וְהַמַּעֲטָפוֹת וְהַמִּטְפָּחוֹת וְהָחֲרִיטִֽים׃

And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,

23 וְהַגִּלְיֹנִים וְהַסְּדִינִים וְהַצְּנִיפוֹת וְהָרְדִידִֽים׃

And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.

24 וְהָיָה תַחַת בֹּשֶׂם מַק יִֽהְיֶה וְתַחַת חֲגוֹרָה נִקְפָּה וְתַחַת מַעֲשֶׂה מִקְשֶׁה קׇרְחָה וְתַחַת פְּתִיגִיל מַֽחֲגֹרֶת שָׂק כִּי־תַחַת יֹֽפִי׃

And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.

25 מְתַיִךְ בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ וּגְבוּרָתֵךְ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.

26 וְאָנוּ וְאָבְלוּ פְּתָחֶיהָ וְנִקָּתָה לָאָרֶץ תֵּשֵֽׁב׃

And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
