ישעה 8
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי קַח־לְךָ גִּלָּיוֹן גָּדוֹל וּכְתֹב עָלָיו בְּחֶרֶט אֱנוֹשׁ לְמַהֵר שָׁלָל חָשׁ בַּֽז׃ | 1 |
The LORD said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
| וְאָעִידָה לִּי עֵדִים נֶאֱמָנִים אֵת אוּרִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶת־זְכַרְיָהוּ בֶּן יְבֶרֶכְיָֽהוּ׃ | 2 |
and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Berechiah."
| וָאֶקְרַב אֶל־הַנְּבִיאָה וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי קְרָא שְׁמוֹ מַהֵר שָׁלָל חָשׁ בַּֽז׃ | 3 |
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
| כִּי בְּטֶרֶם יֵדַע הַנַּעַר קְרֹא אָבִי וְאִמִּי יִשָּׂא ׀ אֶת־חֵיל דַּמֶּשֶׂק וְאֵת שְׁלַל שֹׁמְרוֹן לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃ | 4 |
For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
| וַיֹּסֶף יְהוָה דַּבֵּר אֵלַי עוֹד לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 5 |
The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
| יַעַן כִּי מָאַס הָעָם הַזֶּה אֵת מֵי הַשִּׁלֹחַ הַהֹלְכִים לְאַט וּמְשׂוֹשׂ אֶת־רְצִין וּבֶן־רְמַלְיָֽהוּ׃ | 6 |
"Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
| וְלָכֵן הִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי מַעֲלֶה עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־מֵי הַנָּהָר הָעֲצוּמִים וְהָרַבִּים אֶת־מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וְאֶת־כָּל־כְּבוֹדוֹ וְעָלָה עַל־כָּל־אֲפִיקָיו וְהָלַךְ עַל־כָּל־גְּדוֹתָֽיו׃ | 7 |
now therefore, look, the LORD brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
| וְחָלַף בִּֽיהוּדָה שָׁטַף וְעָבַר עַד־צַוָּאר יַגִּיעַ וְהָיָה מֻטּוֹת כְּנָפָיו מְלֹא רֹֽחַב־אַרְצְךָ עִמָּנוּ אֵֽל׃ | 8 |
It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.
| רֹעוּ עַמִּים וָחֹתּוּ וְהַֽאֲזִינוּ כֹּל מֶרְחַקֵּי־אָרֶץ הִתְאַזְּרוּ וָחֹתּוּ הִֽתְאַזְּרוּ וָחֹֽתּוּ׃ | 9 |
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces. Listen, all you from far countries. Prepare for battle, and be shattered.
| עֻצוּ עֵצָה וְתֻפָר דַּבְּרוּ דָבָר וְלֹא יָקוּם כִּי עִמָּנוּ אֵֽל׃ | 10 |
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."
| כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה אֵלַי כְּחֶזְקַת הַיָּד וְיִסְּרֵנִי מִלֶּכֶת בְּדֶרֶךְ הָֽעָם־הַזֶּה לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 11 |
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
| לֹא־תֹאמְרוּן קֶשֶׁר לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמַר הָעָם הַזֶּה קָשֶׁר וְאֶת־מוֹרָאוֹ לֹֽא־תִֽירְאוּ וְלֹא תַעֲרִֽיצוּ׃ | 12 |
"Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
| אֶת־יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֹתוֹ תַקְדִּישׁוּ וְהוּא מוֹרַאֲכֶם וְהוּא מֽ͏ַעֲרִֽצְכֶֽם׃ | 13 |
The LORD of hosts is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
| וְהָיָה לְמִקְדָּשׁ וּלְאֶבֶן נֶגֶף וּלְצוּר מִכְשׁוֹל לִשְׁנֵי בָתֵּי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְפַח וּלְמוֹקֵשׁ לְיוֹשֵׁב יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 14 |
And he will be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock that makes them fall to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
| וְכָשְׁלוּ בָם רַבִּים וְנָפְלוּ וְנִשְׁבָּרוּ וְנוֹקְשׁוּ וְנִלְכָּֽדוּ׃ | 15 |
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
| צוֹר תְּעוּדָה חֲתוֹם תּוֹרָה בְּלִמֻּדָֽי׃ | 16 |
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
| וְחִכִּיתִי לַיהוָה הַמַּסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִבֵּית יַעֲקֹב וְקִוֵּיתִֽי־לֽוֹ׃ | 17 |
I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
| הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי וְהַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר נָֽתַן־לִי יְהוָה לְאֹתוֹת וּלְמוֹפְתִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעִם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת הַשֹּׁכֵן בְּהַר צִיּֽוֹן׃ | 18 |
Look, I and the children whom God has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
| וְכִֽי־יֹאמְרוּ אֲלֵיכֶם דִּרְשׁוּ אֶל־הָאֹבוֹת וְאֶל־הַיִּדְּעֹנִים הַֽמְצַפְצְפִים וְהַמַּהְגִּים הֲלוֹא־עַם אֶל־אֱלֹהָיו יִדְרֹשׁ בְּעַד הַחַיִּים אֶל־הַמֵּתִֽים׃ | 19 |
When they tell you, "Consult with the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits who chirp and who mutter. Shouldn't a people consult with their gods, by consulting the dead on behalf of the living?"
| לְתוֹרָה וְלִתְעוּדָה אִם־לֹא יֹֽאמְרוּ כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין־לוֹ שָֽׁחַר׃ | 20 |
Turn to the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
| וְעָבַר בָּהּ נִקְשֶׁה וְרָעֵב וְהָיָה כִֽי־יִרְעַב וְהִתְקַצַּף וְקִלֵּל בְּמַלְכּוֹ וּבֵאלֹהָיו וּפָנָה לְמָֽעְלָה׃ | 21 |
They will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
| וְאֶל־אֶרֶץ יַבִּיט וְהִנֵּה צָרָה וַחֲשֵׁכָה מְעוּף צוּקָה וַאֲפֵלָה מְנֻדָּֽח׃ | 22 |
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
