Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 109

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֹור אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ	1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 כִּי פִי רָשָׁע וּפִי־מִרְמָה עָלַי פָּתָחוּ דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי לְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר	2 O God, whom I praise, do not be silent, for wicked and treacherous mouths attack me. They speak against me with lying tongues;
3 וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי וַיִּלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּם	3 with hateful words they surround me, attacking me without cause.
4 תַּחַת־אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּה	4 In return for my love they slander me, even though I prayed for them.
5 וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה תַּחַת טֹובָה וְשִׂנְאָה תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִי	5 They repay me evil for good, hatred for my love. My enemies say of me:
6 הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע וְשָׂטָן יַעֲמֹד עַל־יְמִינֹו	6 "Find a lying witness, an accuser to stand by his right hand,
7 בְּהִשָּׁפְטֹו יֵצֵא רָשָׁע וּתְפִלָּתֹו תִּהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָה	7 That he may be judged and found guilty, that his plea may be in vain.
8 יִהְיוּ־יָמָיו מְעַטִּים פְּקֻדָּתֹו יִקַּח אַחֵר	8 May his days be few; may another take his office.
9 יִהְיוּ־בָנָיו יְתֹומִים וְאִשְׁתֹּו אַלְמָנָה	9 May his children be fatherless, his wife, a widow.
10 וְנֹועַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ וְדָרְשׁוּ מֵחָרְבֹותֵיהֶם	10 May his children be vagrant beggars, driven from their hovels.
11 יְנַקֵּשׁ נֹושֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעֹו	11 May the usurer snare all he owns, strangers plunder all he earns.
12 אַל־יְהִי־לֹו מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד וְאַל־יְהִי חֹונֵן לִיתֹומָיו	12 May no one treat him kindly or pity his fatherless children.
13 יְהִי־אַחֲרִיתֹו לְהַכְרִית בְּדֹור אַחֵר יִמַּח שְׁמָם	13 May his posterity be destroyed, his name cease in the next generation.
14 יִזָּכֵר ׀ עֲוֹן אֲבֹתָיו אֶל־יְהוָה וְחַטַּאת אִמֹּו אַל־תִּמָּח	14 May the LORD remember his fathers' guilt; his mother's sin not be canceled.
15 יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד־יְהוָה תָּמִיד וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָם	15 May their guilt be always before the LORD, till their memory is banished from the earth,
16 יַעַן אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא זָכַר עֲשֹׂות חָסֶד וַיִּרְדֹּף אִישׁ־עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב לְמֹותֵת	16 For he did not remember to show kindness, but hounded the wretched poor and brought death to the brokenhearted.
17 וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבֹואֵהוּ וְלֹא־חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּנּוּ	17 He loved cursing; may it come upon him; he hated blessing; may none come to him.
18 וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה כְּמַדֹּו וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבֹּו וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמֹותָיו	18 May cursing clothe him like a robe; may it enter his belly like water, seep into his bones like oil.
19 תְּהִי־לֹו כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה וּלְמֵזַח תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶהָ	19 May it be near as the clothes he wears, as the belt always around him."
20 זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת טְנַי מֵאֵת יְהוָה וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע עַל־נַפְשִׁי	20 May the LORD bring all this upon my accusers, upon those who speak evil against me.
21 וְאַתָּה ׀ יְהוִה אֲדֹנָי עֲ‍שֵׂה־אִתִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־טֹוב חַסְדְּךָ הַצִּילֵנִי	21 But you, LORD, my God, deal kindly with me for your name's sake; in your great mercy rescue me.
22 כִּי־עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון אָנֹכִי וְלִבִּי חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּי	22 For I am sorely in need; my heart is pierced within me.
23 כְּצֵל־כִּנְטֹותֹו נֶהֱלָכְתִּי נִנְעַרְתִּי כָּאַרְבֶּה	23 Like a lengthening shadow I near my end, all but swept away like the locust.
24 בִּרְכַּי כָּשְׁלוּ מִצֹּום וּבְשָׂרִי כָּחַשׁ מִשָּׁמֶן	24 My knees totter from fasting; my flesh has wasted away.
25 וַאֲנִי ׀ הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם יִרְאוּנִי יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָׁם	25 I have become a mockery to them; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26 עָזְרֵנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי הֹושִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּךָ	26 Help me, LORD, my God; save me in your kindness.
27 וְיֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָדְךָ זֹּאת אַתָּה יְהוָה עֲשִׂיתָהּ	27 Make them know this is your hand, that you, LORD, have acted.
28 יְקַלְלוּ־הֵמָּה וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ קָמוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ וְעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָח	28 Though they curse, may you bless; shame my foes, that your servant may rejoice.
29 יִלְבְּשׁוּ שֹׂוטְנַי כְּלִמָּה וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בָּשְׁתָּם	29 Clothe my accusers with disgrace; make them wear shame like a mantle.
30 אֹודֶה יְהוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי וּבְתֹוךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶנּוּ	30 I will give fervent thanks to the LORD; before all I will praise my God.
31 כִּי־יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיֹון לְהֹושִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשֹׁו	31 For God stands at the right hand of the poor to defend them against unjust accusers.
