Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 18

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לְעֶבֶד יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ׀ לַיהוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיֹום הִצִּיל־יְהוָה אֹותֹו מִכַּף כָּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִיַּד שָׁאוּל	1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2 וַיֹּאמַר אֶרְחָמְךָ יְהוָה חִזְקִי	2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 יְהוָה ׀ סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אֵלִי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בֹּו מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן־יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי	3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וּמִן־אֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵׁעַ	4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 אֲפָפוּנִי חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וְנַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתוּנִי	5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 חֶבְלֵי שְׁאֹול סְבָבוּנִי קִדְּמוּנִי מֹוקְשֵׁי מָוֶת	6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 בַּצַּר־לִי ׀ אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֲשַׁוֵּעַ יִשְׁמַע מֵהֵיכָלֹו קֹולִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי לְפָנָיו ׀ תָּבֹוא בְאָזְנָיו	7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 וַתִּגְעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ ׀ הָאָרֶץ וּמֹוסְדֵי הָרִים יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּי־חָרָה לֹו	8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 עָלָה עָשָׁן ׀ בְּאַפֹּו וְאֵשׁ־מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ	9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 וַיֵּט מַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָיו	10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּדֶא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רוּחַ	11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 יָשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְרֹו סְבִיבֹותָיו סֻכָּתֹו חֶשְׁכַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִים	12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדֹּו עָבָיו עָבְרוּ בָּרָד וְגַחֲלֵי־אֵשׁ	13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 וַיַּרְעֵם בַּשָּׁמַיִם ׀ יְהוָה וְעֶלְיֹון יִתֵּן קֹלֹו בָּרָד וְגַחֲלֵי־אֵשׁ	14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצָּיו וַיְפִיצֵם וּבְרָקִים רָב וַיְהֻמֵּם	15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 וַיֵּרָאוּ ׀ אֲפִיקֵי מַיִם וַיִּגָּלוּ מֹוסְדֹות תֵּבֵל מִגַּעֲרָתְךָ יְהוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפֶּךָ	16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרֹום יִקָּחֵנִי יַמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּים	17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז וּמִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי־אָמְצוּ מִמֶּנִּי	18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19 יְקַדְּמוּנִי בְיֹום־אֵידִי וַיְהִי־יְהוָה לְמִשְׁעָן לִי	19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 וַיֹּוצִיאֵנִי לַמֶּרְחָב יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי חָפֵץ בִּי	20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִי	21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 כִּישָׁ־מַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא־רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָי	22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 כִּי כָל־מִשְׁפָּטָיו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסִיר מֶנִּי	23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 וָאֱהִי תָמִים עִמֹּו וָאֶשְׁתַּמֵּר מֵעֲוֹנִי	24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 וַיָּשֶׁב־יְהוָה לִי כְצִדְקִי כְּבֹר יָדַי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו	25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גְּבַר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּם	26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 עִם־נָבָר תִּתְבָּרָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתְפַּתָּל	27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 כִּי־אַתָּה עַם־עָנִי תֹושִׁיעַ וְעֵינַיִם רָמֹות תַּשְׁפִּיל	28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 כִּי־אַתָּה תָּאִיר נֵרִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי יַגִּיהַּ חָשְׁכִּי	29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 כִּי־בְךָ אָרֻץ גְּדוּד וּבֵאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שׁוּר	30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכֹּו אִמְרַת־יְהוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל ׀ הַחֹסִים בֹּו	31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 כִּי מִי אֱלֹוהַּ מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהוָה וּמִי צוּר זוּלָתִי אֱלֹהֵינוּ	32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 הָאֵל הַמְאַזְּרֵנִי חָיִל וַיִּתֵּן תָּמִים דַּרְכִּי	33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 מְשַׁוֶּה רַגְלַי כָּאַיָּלֹות וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִידֵנִי	34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחֲתָה קֶשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹועֹתָי	35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וִימִינְךָ תִסְעָדֵנִי וְעַנְוַתְךָ תַרְבֵּנִי	36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַחְתָּי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּי	37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 אֶרְדֹּוף אֹויְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵם וְלֹא־אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלֹּותָם	38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 אֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא־יֻכְלוּ קוּם יִפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָי	39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתָּי	40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 וְאֹיְבַי נָתַתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף וּמְשַׂנְאַי אַצְמִיתֵם	41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 יְשַׁוְּעוּ וְאֵין־מֹושִׁיעַ עַל־יְהוָה וְלֹא עָנָם	42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כְּעָפָר עַל־פְּנֵי־רוּחַ כְּטִיט חוּצֹות אֲרִיקֵם	43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 תְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עָם תְּשִׂימֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גֹּויִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדוּנִי	44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 לְשֵׁמַע אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִי בְּנֵי־נֵכָר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לִי	45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 בְּנֵי־נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְרְגוּ מִמִּסְגְּרֹותֵיהֶם	46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 חַי־יְהוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרוּם אֱלֹוהֵי יִשְׁעִי	47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 הָאֵל הַנֹּותֵן נְקָמֹות לִי וַיַּדְבֵּר עַמִּים תַּחְתָּי	48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 מְפַלְּטִי מֵאֹיְבָי אַף מִן־קָמַי תְּרֹומְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חָמָס תַּצִּילֵנִי	49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 עַל־כֵּן ׀ אֹודְךָ בַגֹּויִם ׀ יְהוָה וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּרָה	50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
51 [מִגְדֹּל כ] (מַגְדִּיל ק) יְשׁוּעֹות מַלְכֹּו וְעֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיחֹו לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעֹו עַד־עֹולָם
