Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 102

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִי־יַעֲטֹף וְלִפְנֵי יְהוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֹו	1 The prayer of one afflicted and wasting away whose anguish is poured out before the LORD.
2 יְהוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֹוא	2 LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry come to you.
3 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיֹום צַר לִי הַטֵּה־אֵלַי אָזְנֶךָ בְּיֹום אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי	3 Do not hide your face from me now that I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.
4 כִּי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָי וְעַצְמֹותַי כְּמֹו־קֵד נִחָרוּ	4 For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn away as in a furnace.
5 הוּכָּה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי כִּישָׁ־כַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִי	5 I am withered, dried up like grass, too wasted to eat my food.
6 מִקֹּול אַנְחָתִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִי	6 From my loud groaning I become just skin and bones.
7 דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכֹוס חֳרָבֹות	7 I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
8 שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶה כְּצִפֹּור בֹּודֵד עַל־גָּג	8 I lie awake and moan, like a lone sparrow on the roof.
9 כָּל־הַיֹּום חֵרְפוּנִי אֹויְבָי מְהֹולָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּעוּ	9 All day long my enemies taunt me; in their rage, they make my name a curse.
10 כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּי וְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָכְתִּי	10 I eat ashes like bread, mingle my drink with tears.
11 מִפְּנֵי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי	11 Because of your furious wrath, you lifted me up just to cast me down.
12 יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּי וַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָשׁ	12 My days are like a lengthening shadow; I wither like the grass.
13 וְאַתָּה יְהוָה לְעֹולָם תֵּשֵׁב וְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹר	13 But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; your renown is for all generations.
14 אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיֹּון כִּי־עֵת לְחֶנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מֹועֵד	14 You will again show mercy to Zion; now is the time for pity; the appointed time has come.
15 כִּי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָ וְאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵנוּ	15 Its stones are dear to your servants; its dust moves them to pity.
16 וְיִירְאוּ גֹויִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה וְכָל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבֹודֶךָ	16 The nations shall revere your name, LORD, all the kings of the earth, your glory,
17 כִּי־בָנָה יְהוָה צִיֹּון נִרְאָה בִּכְבֹודֹו	17 Once the LORD has rebuilt Zion and appeared in glory,
18 פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָם	18 Heeding the plea of the lowly, not scorning their prayer.
19 תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדֹור אַחֲרֹון וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָהּ	19 Let this be written for the next generation, for a people not yet born, that they may praise the LORD:
20 כִּי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרֹום קָדְשֹׁו יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּיט	20 "The LORD looked down from the holy heights, viewed the earth from heaven,
21 לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר לְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה	21 To attend to the groaning of the prisoners, to release those doomed to die."
22 לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיֹּון שֵׁם יְהוָה וּתְהִלָּתֹו בִּירוּשָׁלִָם	22 Then the LORD'S name will be declared on Zion, the praise of God in Jerusalem,
23 בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּו וּמַמְלָכֹות לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה	23 When all peoples and kingdoms gather to worship the LORD.
24 עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ [כֹּחֹו כ] (כֹּחִי ק) קִצַּר יָמָי	24 God has shattered my strength in mid-course, has cut short my days.
25 אֹמַר אֵלִי אַל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָי בְּדֹור דֹּורִים שְׁנֹותֶיךָ	25 I plead, O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days. Your years last through all generations.
26 לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָיִם	26 Of old you laid the earth's foundations; the heavens are the work of your hands.
27 הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹד וְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ כַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְיַחֲלֹפוּ	27 They perish, but you remain; they all wear out like a garment; Like clothing you change them and they are changed,
28 וְאַתָּה־הוּא וּשְׁנֹותֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּמּוּ	28 but you are the same, your years have no end.
29 בְּנֵי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכֹּונוּ וְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכֹּון	29 May the children of your servants live on; may their descendants live in your presence.
