1 הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר חָזָה יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶּן־אָמֹוץ עַל־יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָם	1 The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 וְהָיָה ׀ בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים נָכֹון יִהְיֶה הַר בֵּית־יְהוָה בְּרֹאשׁ הֶהָרִים וְנִשָּׂא מִגְּבָעֹות וְנָהֲרוּ אֵלָיו כָּל־הַגֹּויִם	2 And in the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the summit of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.
3 וְהָלְכוּ עַמִּים רַבִּים וְאָמְרוּ לְכוּ ׀ וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל־הַר־יְהוָה אֶל־בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְיֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹרְחֹתָיו כִּי מִצִּיֹּון תֵּצֵא תֹורָה וּדְבַר־יְהוָה מִירוּשָׁלִָם	3 And many peoples will go, and they will say: “Let us approach and ascend to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 וְשָׁפַט בֵּין הַגֹּויִם וְהֹוכִיחַ לְעַמִּים רַבִּים וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבֹותָם לְאִתִּים וַחֲנִיתֹותֵיהֶם לְמַזְמֵרֹות לֹא־יִשָּׂא גֹוי אֶל־גֹּוי חֶרֶב וְלֹא־יִלְמְדוּ עֹוד מִלְחָמָה׃ פ	4 And he will judge the nations, and he will rebuke many peoples. And they shall forge their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they continue to train for battle.
5 בֵּית יַעֲקֹב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹור יְהוָה	5 O house of Jacob, let us approach and walk in the light of the Lord.
6 כִּי נָטַשְׁתָּה עַמְּךָ בֵּית יַעֲקֹב כִּי מָלְאוּ מִקֶּדֶם וְעֹנְנִים כַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַלְדֵי נָכְרִים יַשְׂפִּיקוּ	6 For you have cast aside your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled up, as in past times, and because they have had soothsayers as the Philistines have, and because they have joined themselves to foreign servants.
7 וַתִּמָּלֵא אַרְצֹו כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וְאֵין קֵצֶה לְאֹצְרֹתָיו וַתִּמָּלֵא אַרְצֹו סוּסִים וְאֵין קֵצֶה לְמַרְכְּבֹתָיו	7 Their land has been filled with silver and gold. And there is no end to their storehouses.
8 וַתִּמָּלֵא אַרְצֹו אֱלִילִים לְמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֶצְבְּעֹתָיו	8 And their land has been filled with horses. And their four-horse chariots are innumerable. And their land has been filled with idols. They have adored the work of their hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 וַיִּשַּׁח אָדָם וַיִּשְׁפַּל־אִישׁ וְאַל־תִּשָּׂא לָהֶם	9 And man has bowed himself down, and so man has become debased. Therefore, you should not forgive them.
10 בֹּוא בַצּוּר וְהִטָּמֵן בֶּעָפָר מִפְּנֵי פַּחַד יְהוָה וּמֵהֲדַר גְּאֹנֹו	10 Enter into the rock, and hide in a ditch in the soil, from the presence of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 עֵינֵי גַּבְהוּת אָדָם שָׁפֵל וְשַׁח רוּם אֲנָשִׁים וְנִשְׂגַּב יְהוָה לְבַדֹּו בַּיֹּום הַהוּא׃ ס	11 The lofty eyes of man have been humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down. Then the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
12 כִּי יֹום לַיהוָה צְבָאֹות עַל כָּל־גֵּאֶה וָרָם וְעַל כָּל־נִשָּׂא וְשָׁפֵל	12 For the day of the Lord of hosts will prevail over all the proud and self-exalted, and over all the arrogant, and each one shall be humbled,
13 וְעַל כָּל־אַרְזֵי הַלְּבָנֹון הָרָמִים וְהַנִּשָּׂאִים וְעַל כָּל־אַלֹּונֵי הַבָּשָׁן	13 and over all the straight and tall cedars of Lebanon, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
14 וְעַל כָּל־הֶהָרִים הָרָמִים וְעַל כָּל־הַגְּבָעֹות הַנִּשָּׂאֹות	14 and over all the lofty mountains, and over all the elevated hills;
15 וְעַל כָּל־מִגְדָּל גָּבֹהַ וְעַל כָּל־חֹומָה בְצוּרָה	15 and over every lofty tower, and over every fortified wall;
16 וְעַל כָּל־אֳנִיֹּות תַּרְשִׁישׁ וְעַל כָּל־שְׂכִיֹּות הַחֶמְדָּה	16 and over all the ships of Tarshish, and over all the beauty that may be seen.
17 וְשַׁח גַּבְהוּת הָאָדָם וְשָׁפֵל רוּם אֲנָשִׁים וְנִשְׂגַּב יְהוָה לְבַדֹּו בַּיֹּום הַהוּא	17 And the loftiness of men will be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men will be brought low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
18 וְהָאֱלִילִים כָּלִיל יַחֲלֹף	18 And idols will be thoroughly crushed.
19 וּבָאוּ בִּמְעָרֹות צֻרִים וּבִמְחִלֹּות עָפָר מִפְּנֵי פַּחַד יְהוָה וּמֵהֲדַר גְּאֹונֹו בְּקוּמֹו לַעֲרֹץ הָאָרֶץ	19 And they will go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
20 בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יַשְׁלִיךְ הָאָדָם אֵת אֱלִילֵי כַסְפֹּו וְאֵת אֱלִילֵי זְהָבֹו אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ־לֹו לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לַחְפֹּר פֵּרֹות וְלָעֲטַלֵּפִים	20 In that day, man shall cast aside his idols of silver and his images of gold, which he had made for himself, as if to reverence the moles and the bats.
21 לָבֹוא בְּנִקְרֹות הַצֻּרִים וּבִסְעִפֵי הַסְּלָעִים מִפְּנֵי פַּחַד יְהוָה וּמֵהֲדַר גְּאֹונֹו בְּקוּמֹו לַעֲרֹץ הָאָרֶץ	21 And so he will go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of stone, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
22 חִדְלוּ לָכֶם מִן־הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר נְשָׁמָה בְּאַפֹּו כִּי־בַמֶּה נֶחְשָׁב הוּא׃ פ	22 Therefore, rest away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he considers himself to be exalted.
23 וּבְנֵי צִיֹּון גִּילוּ וְשִׂמְחוּ בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם כִּי־נָתַן לָכֶם אֶת־הַמֹּורֶה לִצְדָקָה וַיֹּורֶד לָכֶם גֶּשֶׁם מֹורֶה וּמַלְקֹושׁ בָּרִאשֹׁון
24 וּמָלְאוּ הַגֳּרָנֹות בָּר וְהֵשִׁיקוּ הַיְקָבִים תִּירֹושׁ וְיִצְהָר
25 וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־הַשָּׁנִים אֲשֶׁר אָכַל הָאַרְבֶּה הַיֶּלֶק וְהֶחָסִיל וְהַגָּזָם חֵילִי הַגָּדֹול אֲשֶׁר שִׁלַּחְתִּי בָּכֶם
26 וַאֲכַלְתֶּם אָכֹול וְשָׂבֹועַ וְהִלַּלְתֶּם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה עִמָּכֶם לְהַפְלִיא וְלֹא־יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי לְעֹולָם
27 וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי בְקֶרֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל אָנִי וַאֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם וְאֵין עֹוד וְלֹא־יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי לְעֹולָם׃ ס
