NEW JERUSALEMSTUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Israelites, hear what Yahweh says, for Yahweh indicts the citizens of the country: there is no loyalty, nofaithful love, no knowledge of God in the country,1 שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר־יְהוָה בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי רִיב לַיהוָה עִם־יֹושְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ כִּי אֵין־אֱמֶת וְאֵין־חֶסֶד וְאֵין־דַּעַת אֱלֹהִים בָּאָרֶץ
2 only perjury and lying, murder, theft, adultery and violence, bloodshed after bloodshed.2 אָלֹה וְכַחֵשׁ וְרָצֹחַ וְגָנֹב וְנָאֹף פָּרָצוּ וְדָמִים בְּדָמִים נָגָעוּ
3 This is why the country is in mourning and al its citizens pining away, the wild animals also and birds ofthe sky, even the fish in the sea wil disappear.3 עַל־כֵּן ׀ תֶּאֱבַל הָאָרֶץ וְאֻמְלַל כָּל־יֹושֵׁב בָּהּ בְּחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה וּבְעֹוף הַשָּׁמָיִם וְגַם־דְּגֵי הַיָּם יֵאָסֵפוּ
4 But let no one denounce, no one rebuke; it is you, priest, that I denounce.4 אַךְ אִישׁ אַל־יָרֵב וְאַל־יֹוכַח אִישׁ וְעַמְּךָ כִּמְרִיבֵי כֹהֵן
5 Priest, you wil stumble in broad daylight, and the prophet will stumble with you in the dark, and I wilmake your mother perish.5 וְכָשַׁלְתָּ הַיֹּום וְכָשַׁל גַּם־נָבִיא עִמְּךָ לָיְלָה וְדָמִיתִי אִמֶּךָ
6 My people perish for want of knowledge. Since you yourself have rejected knowledge, so I shall rejectyou from my priesthood; since you have forgotten the teaching of your God, I in my turn shal forget yourchildren.6 נִדְמוּ עַמִּי מִבְּלִי הַדָּעַת כִּי־אַתָּה הַדַּעַת מָאַסְתָּ וְאֶמְאָסְאךָ מִכַּהֵן לִי וַתִּשְׁכַּח תֹּורַת אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶשְׁכַּח בָּנֶיךָ גַּם־אָנִי
7 The more of them there have been, the more they have sinned against me; they have bartered theirGlory for Shame.7 כְּרֻבָּם כֵּן חָטְאוּ־לִי כְּבֹודָם בְּקָלֹון אָמִיר
8 They feed on the sin of my people, they are greedy for their iniquity.8 חַטַּאת עַמִּי יֹאכֵלוּ וְאֶל־עֲוֹנָם יִשְׂאוּ נַפְשֹׁו
9 But as with the people, so with the priest, I shal punish them for their conduct, I shal pay them back fortheir deeds.9 וְהָיָה כָעָם כַּכֹּהֵן וּפָקַדְתִּי עָלָיו דְּרָכָיו וּמַעֲלָלָיו אָשִׁיב לֹו
10 They will eat but never be satisfied, they wil play the whore but not grow more prolific, since they havedeserted Yahweh to give themselves up10 וְאָכְלוּ וְלֹא יִשְׂבָּעוּ הִזְנוּ וְלֹא יִפְרֹצוּ כִּי־אֶת־יְהוָה עָזְבוּ לִשְׁמֹר
11 to whoring. Old wine and new wine addle my people's wits,11 זְנוּת וְיַיִן וְתִירֹושׁ יִקַּח־לֵב
12 they consult their block of wood, and their stick explains what they should do. For an urge to gowhoring has led them astray and whoring they go and desert their God;12 עַמִּי בְּעֵצֹו יִשְׁאָל וּמַקְלֹו יַגִּיד לֹו כִּי רוּחַ זְנוּנִים הִתְעָה וַיִּזְנוּ מִתַּחַת אֱלֹהֵיהֶם
13 they offer sacrifice on the mountain tops, they burn incense on the hil s, under oak and poplar andterebinth, for pleasant is their shade. So, although your daughters play the whore and your daughters-in-lawcommit adultery,13 עַל־רָאשֵׁי הֶהָרִים יְזַבֵּחוּ וְעַל־הַגְּבָעֹות יְקַטֵּרוּ תַּחַת אַלֹּון וְלִבְנֶה וְאֵלָה כִּי טֹוב צִלָּהּ עַל־כֵּן תִּזְנֶינָה בְּנֹותֵיכֶם וְכַלֹּותֵיכֶם תְּנָאַפְנָה
14 I shal not punish your daughters for playing the whore nor your daughters-in-law for committingadultery, when the men themselves are wandering off with whores and offering sacrifice with sacred prostitutes,for a people with no understanding is doomed.14 לֹא־אֶפְקֹוד עַל־בְּנֹותֵיכֶם כִּי תִזְנֶינָה וְעַל־כַּלֹּותֵיכֶם כִּי תְנָאַפְנָה כִּי־הֵם עִם־הַזֹּנֹות יְפָרֵדוּ וְעִם־הַקְּדֵשֹׁות יְזַבֵּחוּ וְעָם לֹא־יָבִין יִלָּבֵט
15 Though you, Israel, play the whore, there is no need for Judah to sin too. Do not go to Gilgal, do notgo up to Beth-Aven, do not swear oaths 'by Yahweh's life',15 אִם־זֹנֶה אַתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל אַל־יֶאְשַׁם יְהוּדָה וְאַל־תָּבֹאוּ הַגִּלְגָּל וְאַל־תַּעֲלוּ בֵּית אָוֶן וְאַל־תִּשָּׁבְעוּ חַי־יְהוָה
16 for Israel is as stubborn as a stubborn heifer; so is Yahweh likely to pasture him like a lamb in a broadmeadow?16 כִּי כְּפָרָה סֹרֵרָה סָרַר יִשְׂרָאֵל עַתָּה יִרְעֵם יְהוָה כְּכֶבֶשׂ בַּמֶּרְחָב
17 Ephraim has made a pact with idols- let him alone!17 חֲבוּר עֲצַבִּים אֶפְרָיִם הַנַּח־לֹו
18 Their drunken orgy over, they do nothing but play the whore, preferring Shame to their Pride;18 סָר סָבְאָם הַזְנֵה הִזְנוּ אָהֲבוּ הֵבוּ קָלֹון מָגִנֶּיהָ
19 the wind with its wings wil carry them off and their sacrifices wil bring them nothing but disgrace.19 צָרַר רוּחַ אֹותָהּ בִּכְנָפֶיהָ וְיֵבֹשׁוּ מִזִּבְחֹותָם׃ ס
