יְשַׁעְיָהוּ 3
| כִּי֩ הִנֵּ֨ה הָאָדֹ֜ון יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֗ות מֵסִ֤יר מִירוּשָׁלַ֙͏ִם֙ וּמִ֣יהוּדָ֔ה מַשְׁעֵ֖ן וּמַשְׁעֵנָ֑ה כֹּ֚ל מִשְׁעַן־לֶ֔חֶם וְכֹ֖ל מִשְׁעַן־מָֽיִם׃ | 1 |
For behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem and from Judah [Both] stay and staff: Every stay of bread and every stay of water;
| גִּבֹּ֖ור וְאִ֣ישׁ מִלְחָמָ֑ה שֹׁופֵ֥ט וְנָבִ֖יא וְקֹסֵ֥ם וְזָקֵֽן׃ | 2 |
Mighty and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elderly,
| שַׂר־חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים וּנְשׂ֣וּא פָנִ֑ים וְיֹועֵ֛ץ וַחֲכַ֥ם חֲרָשִׁ֖ים וּנְבֹ֥ון לָֽחַשׁ׃ | 3 |
Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counselor, and wise craftsmen, And discerning charmer.
| וְנָתַתִּ֥י נְעָרִ֖ים שָׂרֵיהֶ֑ם וְתַעֲלוּלִ֖ים יִמְשְׁלוּ־בָֽם׃ | 4 |
And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them.
| וְנִגַּ֣שׂ הָעָ֔ם אִ֥ישׁ בְּאִ֖ישׁ וְאִ֣ישׁ בְּרֵעֵ֑הוּ יִרְהֲב֗וּ הַנַּ֙עַר֙ בַּזָּקֵ֔ן וְהַנִּקְלֶ֖ה בַּנִּכְבָּֽד׃ | 5 |
And the people has exacted—man on man, Even a man on his neighbor, The youths enlarge themselves against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honored.
| כִּֽי־יִתְפֹּ֨שׂ אִ֤ישׁ בְּאָחִיו֙ בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו שִׂמְלָ֣ה לְכָ֔ה קָצִ֖ין תִּֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑נוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את תַּ֥חַת יָדֶֽךָ׃ | 6 |
When one lays hold on his brother, Of the house of his father, [by] the garment, “Come, you are a ruler to us, And this ruin [is] under your hand.”
| יִשָּׂא֩ בַיֹּ֨ום הַה֤וּא ׀ לֵאמֹר֙ לֹא־אֶהְיֶ֣ה חֹבֵ֔שׁ וּבְבֵיתִ֕י אֵ֥ין לֶ֖חֶם וְאֵ֣ין שִׂמְלָ֑ה לֹ֥א תְשִׂימֻ֖נִי קְצִ֥ין עָֽם׃ | 7 |
He lifts up, in that day, saying, “I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, You do not make me a ruler of the people.”
| כִּ֤י כָשְׁלָה֙ יְר֣וּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם וִיהוּדָ֖ה נָפָ֑ל כִּֽי־לְשֹׁונָ֤ם וּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶם֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה לַמְרֹ֖ות עֵנֵ֥י כְבֹודֹֽו׃ | 8 |
For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against YHWH, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
| הַכָּרַ֤ת פְּנֵיהֶם֙ עָ֣נְתָה בָּ֔ם וְחַטָּאתָ֛ם כִּסְדֹ֥ם הִגִּ֖ידוּ לֹ֣א כִחֵ֑דוּ אֹ֣וי לְנַפְשָׁ֔ם כִּֽי־גָמְל֥וּ לָהֶ֖ם רָעָֽה׃ | 9 |
The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done evil to themselves.
| אִמְר֥וּ צַדִּ֖יק כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּֽי־פְרִ֥י מַעַלְלֵיהֶ֖ם יֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ | 10 |
Say to the righteous that [it is] good, Because they eat the fruit of their doings.
| אֹ֖וי לְרָשָׁ֣ע רָ֑ע כִּֽי־גְמ֥וּל יָדָ֖יו יֵעָ֥שֶׂה לֹּֽו׃ | 11 |
Woe to the wicked—evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
| עַמִּי֙ נֹגְשָׂ֣יו מְעֹולֵ֔ל וְנָשִׁ֖ים מָ֣שְׁלוּ בֹ֑ו עַמִּי֙ מְאַשְּׁרֶ֣יךָ מַתְעִ֔ים וְדֶ֥רֶךְ אֹֽרְחֹתֶ֖יךָ בִּלֵּֽעוּ׃ ס | 12 |
My people—its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people—your eulogists are causing to err, And the way of your paths swallowed up.
| נִצָּ֥ב לָרִ֖יב יְהוָ֑ה וְעֹמֵ֖ד לָדִ֥ין עַמִּֽים׃ | 13 |
YHWH has stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
| יְהוָה֙ בְּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט יָבֹ֔וא עִם־זִקְנֵ֥י עַמֹּ֖ו וְשָׂרָ֑יו וְאַתֶּם֙ בִּֽעַרְתֶּ֣ם הַכֶּ֔רֶם גְּזֵלַ֥ת הֶֽעָנִ֖י בְּבָתֵּיכֶֽם׃ | 14 |
YHWH enters into judgment With [the] elderly of His people, and its heads: “And you, you have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
| מַלָּכֶם (מַּה־ לָּכֶם֙) תְּדַכְּא֣וּ עַמִּ֔י וּפְנֵ֥י עֲנִיִּ֖ים תִּטְחָ֑נוּ נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֖ה צְבָאֹֽות׃ ס | 15 |
Why? Why do you [do this]? You bruise My people, And you grind the faces of the poor.” A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, And YHWH says:
| וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י גָֽבְהוּ֙ בְּנֹ֣ות צִיֹּ֔ון וַתֵּלַ֙כְנָה֙ נְטוֹּות (נְטוּיֹ֣ות) גָּרֹ֔ון וּֽמְשַׂקְּרֹ֖ות עֵינָ֑יִם הָלֹ֤וךְ וְטָפֹף֙ תֵּלַ֔כְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶ֖ם תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה׃ | 16 |
“Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, They go walking and mincing, And they make a jingling with their feet,
| וְשִׂפַּ֣ח אֲדֹנָ֔י קָדְקֹ֖ד בְּנֹ֣ות צִיֹּ֑ון וַיהוָ֖ה פָּתְהֵ֥ן יְעָרֶֽה׃ ס | 17 |
The Lord has also scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And YHWH exposes their simplicity.
| בַּיֹּ֨ום הַה֜וּא יָסִ֣יר אֲדֹנָ֗י אֵ֣ת תִּפְאֶ֧רֶת הָעֲכָסִ֛ים וְהַשְּׁבִיסִ֖ים וְהַשַּׂהֲרֹנִֽים׃ | 18 |
In that day the Lord turns aside The beauty of the jingling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the crescents,
| הַנְּטִיפֹ֥ות וְהַשֵּׁירֹ֖ות וְהָֽרְעָלֹֽות׃ | 19 |
Of the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils,
| הַפְּאֵרִ֤ים וְהַצְּעָדֹות֙ וְהַקִּשֻּׁרִ֔ים וּבָתֵּ֥י הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ וְהַלְּחָשִֽׁים׃ | 20 |
Of the headdresses, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
| הַטַּבָּעֹ֖ות וְנִזְמֵ֥י הָאָֽף׃ | 21 |
Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
| הַמַּֽחֲלָצֹות֙ וְהַמַּ֣עֲטָפֹ֔ות וְהַמִּטְפָּחֹ֖ות וְהָחֲרִיטִֽים׃ | 22 |
Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
| וְהַגִּלְיֹנִים֙ וְהַסְּדִינִ֔ים וְהַצְּנִיפֹ֖ות וְהָרְדִידִֽים׃ | 23 |
Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the veils,
| וְהָיָה֩ תַ֨חַת בֹּ֜שֶׂם מַ֣ק יִֽהְיֶ֗ה וְתַ֨חַת חֲגֹורָ֤ה נִקְפָּה֙ וְתַ֨חַת מַעֲשֶׂ֤ה מִקְשֶׁה֙ קָרְחָ֔ה וְתַ֥חַת פְּתִיגִ֖יל מַחֲגֹ֣רֶת שָׂ֑ק כִּי־תַ֖חַת יֹֽפִי׃ | 24 |
And it has been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
| מְתַ֖יִךְ בַּחֶ֣רֶב יִפֹּ֑לוּ וּגְבוּרָתֵ֖ךְ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ | 25 |
For instead of glory, your men fall by sword, And your might in battle.
| וְאָנ֥וּ וְאָבְל֖וּ פְּתָחֶ֑יהָ וְנִקָּ֖תָה לָאָ֥רֶץ תֵּשֵֽׁב׃ | 26 |
And her openings have lamented and mourned, Indeed, she has been emptied, she sits on the earth!”
