1 הֹוי עֲטֶרֶת גֵּאוּת שִׁכֹּרֵי אֶפְרַיִם וְצִיץ נֹבֵל צְבִי תִפְאַרְתֹּו אֲשֶׁר עַל־רֹאשׁ גֵּיא־שְׁמָנִים הֲלוּמֵי יָיִן1 Woe to the haughty crown of Ephraim's drunkards, to the fading flower of its proud splendour sited atthe head of the lush val ey, to those prostrated by wine!
2 הִנֵּה חָזָק וְאַמִּץ לַאדֹנָי כְּזֶרֶם בָּרָד שַׂעַר קָטֶב כְּזֶרֶם מַיִם כַּבִּירִים שֹׁטְפִים הִנִּיחַ לָאָרֶץ בְּיָד2 See, a strong and mighty man in the Lord's service, like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, likeimmense flood-waters overflowing, with his hand he throws them to the ground.
3 בְּרַגְלַיִם תֵּרָמַסְנָה עֲטֶרֶת גֵּאוּת שִׁכֹּורֵי אֶפְרָיִם3 They wil be trampled underfoot, the haughty crown of Ephraim's drunkards,
4 וְהָיְתָה צִיצַת נֹבֵל צְבִי תִפְאַרְתֹּו אֲשֶׁר עַל־רֹאשׁ גֵּיא שְׁמָנִים כְּבִכּוּרָהּ בְּטֶרֶם קַיִץ אֲשֶׁר יִרְאֶה הָרֹאֶה אֹותָהּ בְּעֹודָהּ בְּכַפֹּו יִבְלָעֶנָּה׃ ס4 and the faded flower of its proud splendour sited at the head of the lush val ey. Like a fig ripe beforesummer comes: whoever spots it forthwith picks and swal ows it.
5 בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְהוָה צְבָאֹות לַעֲטֶרֶת צְבִי וְלִצְפִירַת תִּפְאָרָה לִשְׁאָר עַמֹּו5 That day Yahweh Sabaoth wil be a crown of splendour and a proud diadem for the remnant of hispeople,
6 וּלְרוּחַ מִשְׁפָּט לַיֹּושֵׁב עַל־הַמִּשְׁפָּט וְלִגְבוּרָה מְשִׁיבֵי מִלְחָמָה שָׁעְרָה׃ ס6 a spirit of fair judgement for him who sits in judgement, and the strength of those who repel the assaulton the gate.
7 וְגַם־אֵלֶּה בַּיַּיִן שָׁגוּ וּבַשֵּׁכָר תָּעוּ כֹּהֵן וְנָבִיא שָׁגוּ בַשֵּׁכָר נִבְלְעוּ מִן־הַיַּיִן תָּעוּ מִן־הַשֵּׁכָר שָׁגוּ בָּרֹאֶה פָּקוּ פְּלִילִיָּה7 These too have been confused by wine, have gone astray owing to liquor. Priest and prophet havebecome confused by liquor, are sodden with wine, have strayed owing to liquor, have become confused in theirvisions, have strayed in their decisions.
8 כִּי כָּל־שֻׁלְחָנֹות מָלְאוּ קִיא צֹאָה בְּלִי מָקֹום׃ ס8 Yes, every table is covered in filthy vomit, not one is clean!
9 אֶת־מִי יֹורֶה דֵעָה וְאֶת־מִי יָבִין שְׁמוּעָה גְּמוּלֵי מֵחָלָב עַתִּיקֵי מִשָּׁדָיִם9 'Whom does he think he is lecturing? Whom does he think his message is for? Babies just weaned?Babies just taken from the breast?
10 כִּי צַו לָצָו צַו לָצָו קַו לָקָו קַו לָקָו זְעֵיר שָׁם זְעֵיר שָׁם10 With his "Sav lasav, sav lasav, kav lakav, kav lakav, zeer sham, zeer sham!"
11 כִּי בְּלַעֲגֵי שָׂפָה וּבְלָשֹׁון אַחֶרֶת יְדַבֵּר אֶל־הָעָם הַזֶּה11 Now, with stammering lips and in a foreign language, he wil talk to this nation.
12 אֲשֶׁר ׀ אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם זֹאת הַמְּנוּחָה הָנִיחוּ לֶעָיֵף וְזֹאת הַמַּרְגֵּעָה וְלֹא אָבוּא שְׁמֹועַ12 He used to say to them, 'Here you can rest! Here you can let the weary rest! Here al is quiet.' But theyrefused to listen.
13 וְהָיָה לָהֶם דְּבַר־יְהוָה צַו לָצָו צַו לָצָו קַו לָקָו קַו לָקָו זְעֵיר שָׁם זְעֵיר שָׁם לְמַעַן יֵלְכוּ וְכָשְׁלוּ אָחֹור וְנִשְׁבָּרוּ וְנֹוקְשׁוּ וְנִלְכָּדוּ׃ פ13 Now Yahweh is going to say this to them, 'Sav lasav, sav lasav, kav lakav, kav lakav, zeer sham, zeersham.' So that when they walk they wil fal over backwards and so be broken, trapped and taken captive.
14 לָכֵן שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר־יְהוָה אַנְשֵׁי לָצֹון מֹשְׁלֵי הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בִּירוּשָׁלִָם14 Hence listen to Yahweh's word, you insolent men, rulers of this people in Jerusalem.
15 כִּי אֲמַרְתֶּם כָּרַתְנוּ בְרִית אֶת־מָוֶת וְעִם־שְׁאֹול עָשִׂינוּ חֹזֶה [שִׁיט כ] (שֹׁוט ק) שֹׁוטֵף כִּי־ [עָבַר כ] (יַעֲבֹר ק) לֹא יְבֹואֵנוּ כִּי שַׂמְנוּ כָזָב מַחְסֵנוּ וּבַשֶּׁקֶר נִסְתָּרְנוּ׃ ס15 Because you have said, 'We have made a treaty with Death and have struck a pact with Sheol. Whenthe scourging flood comes over, it wil not touch us, for we have made lies our refuge and hidden underfalsehood.'
16 לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי יִסַּד בְּצִיֹּון אָבֶן אֶבֶן בֹּחַן פִּנַּת יִקְרַת מוּסָד מוּסָּד הַמַּאֲמִין לֹא יָחִישׁ16 So the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Now I shall lay a stone in Zion, a granite stone, a precious corner-stone, a firm foundation-stone: no one who relies on this will stumble.
17 וְשַׂמְתִּי מִשְׁפָּט לְקָו וּצְדָקָה לְמִשְׁקָלֶת וְיָעָה בָרָד מַחְסֵה כָזָב וְסֵתֶר מַיִם יִשְׁטֹפוּ17 And I wil make fair judgement the measure, and uprightness the plumb-line.' But hail wil sweep awaythe refuge of lies and floods wash away the hiding-place;
18 וְכֻפַּר בְּרִיתְכֶם אֶת־מָוֶת וְחָזוּתְכֶם אֶת־שְׁאֹול לֹא תָקוּם שֹׁוט שֹׁוטֵף כִּי יַעֲבֹר וִהְיִיתֶם לֹו לְמִרְמָס18 your treaty with Death wil be broken and your pact with Sheol wil not hold. When the scourging floodcomes over, you wil be trodden down by it;
19 מִדֵּי עָבְרֹו יִקַּח אֶתְכֶם כִּי־בַבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר יַעֲבֹר בַּיֹּום וּבַלָּיְלָה וְהָיָה רַק־זְוָעָה הָבִין שְׁמוּעָה19 every time it comes over, it wil seize on you, for it wil come over, morning after morning, day by dayand night by night. Nothing but fear will make you understand what you hear.
20 כִּי־קָצַר הַמַּצָּע מֵהִשְׂתָּרֵעַ וְהַמַּסֵּכָה צָרָה כְּהִתְכַּנֵּס20 For the bed is too short to stretch in, the blanket too narrow for covering.
21 כִּי כְהַר־פְּרָצִים יָקוּם יְהוָה כְּעֵמֶק בְּגִבְעֹון יִרְגָּז לַעֲשֹׂות מַעֲשֵׂהוּ זָר מַעֲשֵׂהוּ וְלַעֲבֹד עֲבֹדָתֹו נָכְרִיָּה עֲבֹדָתֹו21 Yes, as on Mount Perazim, Yahweh will rise, as in the Val ey of Gibeon, he wil storm to do his work,his mysterious work, to do his deed, his extraordinary deed.
22 וְעַתָּה אַל־תִּתְלֹוצָצוּ פֶּן־יֶחְזְקוּ מֹוסְרֵיכֶם כִּי־כָלָה וְנֶחֱרָצָה שָׁמַעְתִּי מֵאֵת אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאֹות עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ22 Stop scoffing, then, or your bonds wil be tightened further, for I have heard it: it has been irrevocablydecided as regards the whole country by the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth.
23 הַאֲזִינוּ וְשִׁמְעוּ קֹולִי הַקְשִׁיבוּ וְשִׁמְעוּ אִמְרָתִי23 Listen closely to my words, be attentive, understand what I am saying.
24 הֲכֹל הַיֹּום יַחֲרֹשׁ הַחֹרֵשׁ לִזְרֹעַ יְפַתַּח וִישַׂדֵּד אַדְמָתֹו24 Does the ploughman plough al day to sow, breaking up and harrowing his ground?
25 הֲלֹוא אִם־שִׁוָּה פָנֶיהָ וְהֵפִיץ קֶצַח וְכַמֹּן יִזְרֹק וְשָׂם חִטָּה שֹׂורָה וּשְׂעֹרָה נִסְמָן וְכֻסֶּמֶת גְּבֻלָתֹו25 Once he has level ed its surface, does he not scatter fennel, sow cummin? Then he puts in wheat,mil et, barley and, round the edges, spelt,
26 וְיִסְּרֹו לַמִּשְׁפָּט אֱלֹהָיו יֹורֶנּוּ26 for his God has taught him this rule and instructed him.
27 כִּי לֹא בֶחָרוּץ יוּדַשׁ קֶצַח וְאֹופַן עֲגָלָה עַל־כַּמֹּן יוּסָּב כִּי בַמַּטֶּה יֵחָבֶט קֶצַח וְכַמֹּן בַּשָּׁבֶט27 Fennel must not be crushed with a sledge, nor cart-wheels driven over cummin; fennel must bebeaten with a stick, and cummin with a flail.
28 לֶחֶם יוּדָק כִּי לֹא לָנֶצַח אָדֹושׁ יְדוּשֶׁנּוּ וְהָמַם גִּלְגַּל עֶגְלָתֹו וּפָרָשָׁיו לֹא־יְדֻקֶּנּוּ28 When you are threshing wheat, you do not waste time crushing it; you get the horse and cart-wheelmoving, but you do not grind it fine.
29 גַּם־זֹאת מֵעִם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות יָצָאָה הִפְלִיא עֵצָה הִגְדִּיל תּוּשִׁיָּה׃ ס29 Al this is a gift from Yahweh Sabaoth, marvel ous advice leading to great achievements.
