Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 79

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 מִזְמֹור לְאָסָף אֱ‍לֹהִים בָּאוּ גֹויִם ׀ בְּנַחֲלָתֶךָ טִמְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַל קָדְשֶׁךָ שָׂמוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַם לְעִיִּים	1 A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your heritage; they have defiled your holy temple, have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2 נָתְנוּ אֶת־נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ מַאֲכָל לְעֹוף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ לְחַיְתֹו־אָרֶץ	2 They have left the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful for the beasts of the earth.
3 שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם ׀ כַּמַּיִם סְבִיבֹות יְרוּשָׁלִָם וְאֵין קֹובֵר	3 They have spilled their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and no one is left to bury them.
4 הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵינוּ	4 We have become the reproach of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
5 עַד־מָה יְהוָה תֶּאֱנַף לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמֹו־אֵשׁ קִנְאָתֶךָ	5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your rage keep burning like fire?
6 שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ אֶל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ וְעַל מַמְלָכֹות אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ לֹא קָרָאוּ	6 Pour out your wrath on nations that reject you, on kingdoms that do not call on your name,
7 כִּי אָכַל אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־נָוֵהוּ הֵשַׁמּוּ	7 For they have devoured Jacob, laid waste his home.
8 אַל־תִּזְכָּר־לָנוּ עֲוֹנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ כִּי דַלֹּונוּ מְאֹד	8 Do not hold past iniquities against us; may your compassion come quickly, for we have been brought very low.
9 עָזְרֵנוּ ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ עַל־דְּבַר כְּבֹוד־שְׁמֶךָ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ וְכַפֵּר עַל־חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ	9 Help us, God our savior, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, pardon our sins for your name's sake.
10 לָמָּה ׀ יֹאמְרוּ הַגֹּויִם אַיֵּה אֱ‍לֹהֵיהֶם יִוָּדַע [בַּגִּיִּים כ] (בַּגֹּויִם ק) לְעֵינֵינוּ נִקְמַת דַּם־עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפוּךְ	10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes make clear to the nations that you avenge the blood of your servants.
11 תָּבֹוא לְפָנֶיךָ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר כְּגֹדֶל זְרֹועֲךָ הֹותֵר בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה	11 Let the groans of prisoners come before you; by your great power free those doomed to death.
12 וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ בְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָם חֶרְפָּתָם אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּךָ אֲדֹנָי	12 Lord, inflict on our neighbors seven fold the disgrace they inflicted on you.
13 וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ ׀ וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ נֹודֶה לְּךָ לְעֹולָם לְדֹר וָדֹר נְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶךָ	13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; through all ages we will declare your praise.
