Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 44

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מַשְׂכִּיל	1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.
2 אֱלֹהִים ׀ בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ אֲבֹותֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָנוּ פֹּעַל פָּעַלְתָּ בִימֵיהֶם בִּימֵי קֶדֶם	2 We have heard, O God, with our ears : our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.
3 אַתָּה ׀ יָדְךָ גֹּויִם הֹורַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵם תָּרַע לְאֻמִּים וַתְּשַׁלְּחֵם	3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them : thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
4 כִּי לֹא בְחַרְבָּם יָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּזְרֹועָם לֹא־הֹושִׁיעָה לָּמֹו כִּי־יְמִינְךָ וּזְרֹועֲךָ וְאֹור פָּנֶיךָ כִּי רְצִיתָם	4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword : neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance : because thou wast pleased with them.
5 אַתָּה־הוּא מַלְכִּי אֱלֹהִים צַוֵּה יְשׁוּעֹות יַעֲקֹב	5 Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
6 בְּךָ צָרֵינוּ נְנַגֵּחַ בְּשִׁמְךָ נָבוּס קָמֵינוּ	6 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn : and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
7 כִּי לֹא בְקַשְׁתִּי אֶבְטָח וְחַרְבִּי לֹא תֹושִׁיעֵנִי	7 For I will not trust in my bow : neither shall my sword save me.
8 כִּי הֹושַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ הֱבִישֹׁותָ	8 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us : and hast put them to shame that hate us.
9 בֵּאלֹהִים הִלַּלְנוּ כָל־הַיֹּום וְשִׁמְךָ ׀ לְעֹולָם נֹודֶה סֶלָה	9 In God shall we glory all the day long : and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
10 אַף־זָנַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵנוּ וְלֹא־תֵצֵא בְּצִבְאֹותֵינוּ	10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame : and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
11 תְּשִׁיבֵנוּ אָחֹור מִנִּי־צָר וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ שָׁסוּ לָמֹו	11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies : and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
12 תִּתְּנֵנוּ כְּצֹאן מַאֲכָל וּבַגֹּויִם זֵרִיתָנוּ	12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten : thou hast scattered us among the nations.
13 תִּמְכֹּר־עַמְּךָ בְלֹא־הֹון וְלֹא־רִבִּיתָ בִּמְחִירֵיהֶם	13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price : and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
14 תְּשִׂימֵנוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵינוּ	14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
15 תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָשָׁל בַּגֹּויִם מְנֹוד־רֹאשׁ בַּל־אֻמִּים	15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles : a shaking of the head among the people.
16 כָּל־הַיֹּום כְּלִמָּתִי נֶגְדִּי וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנַי כִּסָּתְנִי	16 All the day long my shame is before me : and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
17 מִקֹּול מְחָרֵף וּמְגַדֵּף מִפְּנֵי אֹויֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם	17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me : at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
18 כָּל־זֹאת בָּאַתְנוּ וְלֹא שְׁכַחֲנוּךָ וְלֹאשִׁ־קַּרְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶךָ	18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee : and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.
19 לֹא־נָסֹוג אָחֹור לִבֵּנוּ וַתֵּט אֲשֻׁרֵינוּ מִנִּי אָרְחֶךָ	19 And our heart hath not turned back : neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
20 כִּי דִכִּיתָנוּ בִּמְקֹום תַּנִּים וַתְּכַס עָלֵינוּ בְצַלְמָוֶת	20 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction : and the shadow of death hath covered us.
21 אִםשָׁ־כַחְנוּ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַנִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפֵּינוּ לְאֵל זָר	21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god :
22 הֲלֹא אֱלֹהִים יַחֲקָר־זֹאת כִּי־הוּא יֹדֵעַ תַּעֲלֻמֹות לֵב	22 Shall not God search out these things : for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long : we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 כִּי־עָלֶיךָ הֹרַגְנוּ כָל־הַיֹּום נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כְּצֹאן טִבְחָה	23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
24 עוּרָה ׀ לָמָּה תִישַׁן ׀ אֲדֹנָי הָקִיצָה אַל־תִּזְנַח לָנֶצַח	24 Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
25 לָמָּה־פָנֶיךָ תַסְתִּיר תִּשְׁכַּח עָנְיֵנוּ וְלַחֲצֵנוּ	25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust : our belly cleaveth to the earth.
26 כִּי שָׁחָה לֶעָפָר נַפְשֵׁנוּ דָּבְקָה לָאָרֶץ בִּטְנֵנוּ	26 Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name's sake.
27 קוּמָה עֶזְרָתָה לָּנוּ וּפְדֵנוּ לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ
28 הָאֹמֵר לְכֹורֶשׁ רֹעִי וְכָל־חֶפְצִי יַשְׁלִם וְלֵאמֹר לִירוּשָׁלִַם תִּבָּנֶה וְהֵיכָל תִּוָּסֵד׃ ס
