Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 69

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־שֹׁושַׁנִּים לְדָוִד	1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David.
2 הֹושִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּי בָאוּ מַיִם עַד־נָפֶשׁ	2 SAVE me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
3 טָבַעְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵן מְצוּלָה וְאֵין מָעֳמָד בָּאתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַיִם וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שְׁטָפָתְנִי	3 I stick fast in the mire of the deep: and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea: and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
4 יָגַעְתִּי בְקָרְאִי נִחַר גְּרֹונִי כָּלוּ עֵינַי מְיַחֵל לֵאלֹהָי	4 I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
5 רַבּוּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲרֹות רֹאשִׁי שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם עָצְמוּ מַצְמִיתַי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־גָזַלְתִּי אָז אָשִׁיב	5 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.
6 אֱ‍לֹהִים אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּי וְאַשְׁמֹותַי מִמְּךָ לֹא־נִכְחָדוּ	6 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:
7 אַל־יֵבֹשׁוּ בִי ׀ קֹוֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאֹות אַל־יִכָּלְמוּ בִי מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	7 Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.
8 כִּי־עָלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי חֶרְפָּה כִּסְּתָה כְלִמָּה פָנָי	8 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
9 מוּזָר הָיִיתִי לְאֶחָי וְנָכְרִי לִבְנֵי אִמִּי	9 I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.
10 כִּי־קִנְאַת בֵּיתְךָ אֲכָלָתְנִי וְחֶרְפֹּות חֹורְפֶיךָ נָפְלוּ עָלָי	10 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
11 וָאֶבְכֶּה בַצֹּום נַפְשִׁי וַתְּהִי לַחֲרָפֹות לִי	11 And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.
12 וָאֶתְּנָה לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמָשָׁל	12 And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.
13 יָשִׂיחוּ בִי יֹשְׁבֵי שָׁעַר וּנְגִינֹות שֹׁותֵי שֵׁכָר	13 They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.
14 וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי־לְךָ ׀ יְהוָה עֵת רָצֹון אֱלֹהִים בְּרָב־חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶךָ	14 But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
15 הַצִּילֵנִי מִטִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּעָה אִנָּצְלָה מִשֹּׂנְאַי וּמִמַּעֲמַקֵּי־מָיִם	15 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
16 אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵנִי ׀ שִׁבֹּלֶת מַיִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵנִי מְצוּלָה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַי בְּאֵר פִּיהָ	16 Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
17 עֲנֵנִי יְהוָה כִּי־טֹוב חַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ פְּנֵה אֵלָי	17 Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
18 וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵעַבְדֶּךָ כִּי־צַר־לִי מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי	18 And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
19 קָרְבָה אֶל־נַפְשִׁי גְאָלָהּ לְמַעַן אֹיְבַי פְּדֵנִי	19 Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.
20 אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִי וּבָשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִי נֶגְדְּךָ כָּל־צֹורְרָי	20 Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.
21 חֶרְפָּה ׀ שָׁבְרָה לִבִּי וָאָנוּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּה לָנוּד וָאַיִן וְלַמְנַחֲמִים וְלֹא מָצָאתִי	21 In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
22 וַיִּתְּנוּ בְּבָרוּתִי רֹאשׁ וְלִצְמָאִי יַשְׁקוּנִי חֹמֶץ	22 And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
23 יְהִי־שֻׁלְחָנָם לִפְנֵיהֶם לְפָח וְלִשְׁלֹומִים לְמֹוקֵשׁ	23 Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
24 תֶּחְשַׁכְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם מֵרְאֹות וּמָתְנֵיהֶם תָּמִיד הַמְעַד	24 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.
25 שְׁפָךְ־עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמֶךָ וַחֲרֹון אַפְּךָ יַשִּׂיגֵם	25 Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
26 תְּהִי־טִירָתָם נְשַׁמָּה בְּאָהֳלֵיהֶם אַל־יְהִי יֹשֵׁב	26 Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
27 כִּי־אַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּיתָ רָדָפוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאֹוב חֲלָלֶיךָ יְסַפֵּרוּ	27 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
28 תְּנָה־עָוֹן עַל־עֲוֹנָם וְאַל־יָבֹאוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶךָ	28 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.
29 יִמָּחוּ מִסֵּפֶר חַיִּים וְעִם צַדִּיקִים אַל־יִכָּתֵבוּ	29 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written.
30 וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְכֹואֵב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים תְּשַׂגְּבֵנִי	30 But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.
31 אֲהַלְלָה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִים בְּשִׁיר וַאֲגַדְּלֶנּוּ בְתֹודָה	31 I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.
32 וְתִיטַב לַיהוָה מִשֹּׁור פָּר מַקְרִן מַפְרִיס	32 And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.
33 רָאוּ עֲנָוִים יִשְׂמָחוּ דֹּרְשֵׁי אֱלֹהִים וִיחִי לְבַבְכֶם	33 Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live.
34 כִּי־שֹׁמֵעַ אֶל־אֶבְיֹונִים יְהוָה וְאֶת־אֲסִירָיו לֹא בָזָה	34 For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners.
35 יְהַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ יַמִּים וְכָל־רֹמֵשׂ בָּם	35 Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.
36 כִּי אֱלֹהִים ׀ יֹושִׁיעַ צִיֹּון וְיִבְנֶה עָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְיָשְׁבוּ ם וִירֵשׁוּהָ	36 For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance.
37 וְזֶרַע עֲבָדָיו יִנְחָלוּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵי מֹו יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָהּ	37 And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
