דַּבְּרוּ עַל-לֵב יְרוּשָׁלִַם, וְקִרְאוּ אֵלֶיהָ--כִּי מָלְאָה צְבָאָהּ, כִּי נִרְצָה עֲוֺנָהּ: כִּי לָקְחָה מִיַּד יְהוָה, כִּפְלַיִם בְּכָל-חַטֹּאתֶיהָ.
dabru al-lev yerushalayim, veqir'u eleyha--ki male'a tzeva'ah, ki nirtza avonah: ki lakha miyyad YHWH, kiflayim bekhol-khatoteyha.
Bid Jerusalem take heart, and proclaim unto her, that her time of service is accomplished, that her guilt is paid off; that she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
3.
קוֹל קוֹרֵא--בַּמִּדְבָּר, פַּנּוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה; יַשְּׁרוּ, בָּעֲרָבָה, מְסִלָּה, לֵאלֹהֵינוּ.
kol kore bamidbar panu derekh YHWH yashru ba'aravah mesilah le'elohenu
Hark! one calleth: 'Clear ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make plain in the desert a highway for our God.
4.
כָּל-גֶּיא, יִנָּשֵׂא, וְכָל-הַר וְגִבְעָה, יִשְׁפָּלוּ; וְהָיָה הֶעָקֹב לְמִישׁוֹר, וְהָרְכָסִים לְבִקְעָה.
kol ge yinase vekhal har vegiv'ah yishpalu vehayah he'akov lemishor veharkhasim levik'ah
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the rugged shall be made level, and the rough places a plain;
5.
וְנִגְלָה, כְּבוֹד יְהוָה; וְרָאוּ כָל-בָּשָׂר יַחְדָּו, כִּי פִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר.
veniglah kevod YHWH verau khol basar yakhdav ki pi YHWH diber
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.'
6.
קוֹל אֹמֵר קְרָא, וְאָמַר מָה אֶקְרָא; כָּל-הַבָּשָׂר חָצִיר, וְכָל-חַסְדּוֹ כְּצִיץ הַשָּׂדֶה.
kol omer kera ve'amar mah ekra khol habasar khatsir vekhal khasdo ketsitz hasadeh
Hark! one saith: 'Proclaim!' And he saith: 'What shall I proclaim?' 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field;
7.
יָבֵשׁ חָצִיר נָבֵל צִיץ, כִּי רוּחַ יְהוָה נָשְׁבָה בּוֹ; אָכֵן חָצִיר, הָעָם.
yavesh khatzir navel ttzitz, ki ruakh YHWH nashvah bo; akhen khatzir, ha'am.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the LORD bloweth upon it--surely the people is grass.
8.
יָבֵשׁ חָצִיר, נָבֵל צִיץ; וּדְבַר-אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יָקוּם לְעוֹלָם.
yavesh khatzir, navel ttzitz; u'devar-Eloheinu, yakum le'olam.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever.'
9.
עַל הַר-גָּבֹהַּ עֲלִי-לָךְ, מְבַשֶּׂרֶת צִיּוֹן, הָרִימִי בַכֹּחַ קוֹלֵךְ, מְבַשֶּׂרֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָם; הָרִימִי, אַל-תִּירָאִי, אִמְרִי לְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה, הִנֵּה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.
al har-gavohah ali-lakh, mevasseret ttziyon, harimi vakhokakh kolekh, mevasseret Yerushalayim; harimi, al-tirai, imri le'arei Yehudah, hineh Eloheikhem.
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!'
10.
הִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּחָזָק יָבוֹא, וּזְרֹעוֹ מֹשְׁלָה לוֹ; הִנֵּה שְׂכָרוֹ אִתּוֹ, וּפְעֻלָּתוֹ לְפָנָיו.
hineh Adonai YHWH bekkhazak yavo, u'zero'o moshlah lo; hineh sekharo ito, u'fe'ullato lefanav.
Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.
11.
כְּרֹעֶה, עֶדְרוֹ יִרְעֶה, בִּזְרֹעוֹ יְקַבֵּץ טְלָאִים, וּבְחֵיקוֹ יִשָּׂא; עָלוֹת, יְנַהֵל.
kero'eh, edro yir'eh, bizro'o yekabbetz tela'im, uvekheiko yissa; alot, yenahel.
Even as a shepherd that feedeth his flock, that gathereth the lambs in his arm, and carrieth them in his bosom, and gently leadeth those that give suck.
12.
מִי-מָדַד בְּשָׁעֳלוֹ מַיִם, וְשָׁמַיִם בַּזֶּרֶת תִּכֵּן, וְכָל בַּשָּׁלִשׁ, עֲפַר הָאָרֶץ; וְשָׁקַל בַּפֶּלֶס הָרִים, וּגְבָעוֹת בְּמֹאזְנָיִם.
mi-madad besha'olo mayim, veshamayim bazeret tikken, vekhal bashalish, afar ha'aretz; veshakal bappeles harim, ugeva'ot bemoznayim.
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13.
מִי-תִכֵּן אֶת-רוּחַ, יְהוָה; וְאִישׁ, עֲצָתוֹ יוֹדִיעֶנּוּ.
mi-tikken et-ruach, YHWH; ve'ish, atzato yodi'ennu.
Who hath meted out the spirit of the LORD? Or who was His counsellor that he might instruct Him?
14.
אֶת-מִי נוֹעָץ וַיְבִינֵהוּ, וַיְלַמְּדֵהוּ בְּאֹרַח מִשְׁפָּט; וַיְלַמְּדֵהוּ דַעַת, וְדֶרֶךְ תְּבוּנוֹת יוֹדִיעֶנּוּ.
et-mi no'atz vayvinehu, vaylamedehu be'orach mishpat; vaylamedehu da'at, vederekh tevunot yodi'ennu.
With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him to know the way of discernment?
15.
הֵן גּוֹיִם כְּמַר מִדְּלִי, וּכְשַׁחַק מֹאזְנַיִם נֶחְשָׁבוּ; הֵן אִיִּים, כַּדַּק יִטּוֹל.
Hen goyim kemar mideli, ukeshakhak mozanyim nekhshavu; hen iyim, kadak yitol.
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance; behold the isles are as a mote in weight.
16.
וּלְבָנוֹן, אֵין דֵּי בָּעֵר; וְחַיָּתוֹ--אֵין דֵּי, עוֹלָה.
Ulevanon, ein dei ba'er; vechayato--ein dei, olah.
And Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for burnt-offerings.
17.
כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם, כְּאַיִן נֶגְדּוֹ; מֵאֶפֶס וָתֹהוּ, נֶחְשְׁבוּ-לוֹ.
Kol-hagoyim, ke'ayin negdo; me'efes vatohu, nekhshavu-lo.
All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted by Him as things of nought, and vanity.
18.
וְאֶל-מִי, תְּדַמְּיוּן אֵל; וּמַה-דְּמוּת, תַּעַרְכוּ לוֹ.
Ve'el-mi, tedamyun el; umah-demut, ta'arkhu lo.
To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto Him?
19.
הַפֶּסֶל נָסַךְ חָרָשׁ, וְצֹרֵף בַּזָּהָב יְרַקְּעֶנּוּ; וּרְתֻקוֹת כֶּסֶף, צוֹרֵף.
ha'pesel nasakh kharash, ve'tzoref ba'zahav yerak'qenu; u'retuqot kesef, tzoref.
The image perchance, which the craftsman hath melted, and the goldsmith spread over with gold, the silversmith casting silver chains?
20.
הַמְסֻכָּן תְּרוּמָה, עֵץ לֹא-יִרְקַב יִבְחָר; חָרָשׁ חָכָם יְבַקֶּשׁ-לוֹ, לְהָכִין פֶּסֶל לֹא יִמּוֹט.
ha'msukan terumah, etz lo-yirqav yivkhar; kharash khakham yevaqesh-lo, le'hakhin pesel lo yimot.
A holm-oak is set apart, he chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning craftsman to set up an image, that shall not be moved.
21.
הֲלוֹא תֵדְעוּ הֲלוֹא תִשְׁמָעוּ, הֲלוֹא הֻגַּד מֵרֹאשׁ לָכֶם; הֲלוֹא, הֲבִינוֹתֶם, מוֹסְדוֹת, הָאָרֶץ.
ha'lo ted'u ha'lo tishma'u, ha'lo hugad me'rosh lakhem; ha'lo, ha'vinotem, mosdot, ha'aretz.
Know ye not? hear ye not? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundations of the earth?
22.
הַיֹּשֵׁב עַל-חוּג הָאָרֶץ, וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ כַּחֲגָבִים; הַנּוֹטֶה כַדֹּק שָׁמַיִם, וַיִּמְתָּחֵם כָּאֹהֶל לָשָׁבֶת.
ha'yoshev al-khug ha'aretz, ve'yoshveha ka'khagavim; ha'noteh ka'dok shamayim, ve'yimtakhem ka'ohel la'shavet.
It is He that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
23.
הַנּוֹתֵן רוֹזְנִים, לְאָיִן; שֹׁפְטֵי אֶרֶץ, כַּתֹּהוּ עָשָׂה.
hanoten roznim, le'ayin; shoftei eretz, katohu asah.
That bringeth princes to nothing; He maketh the judges of the earth as a thing of nought.
24.
אַף בַּל-נִטָּעוּ, אַף בַּל-זֹרָעוּ--אַף בַּל-שֹׁרֵשׁ בָּאָרֶץ, גִּזְעָם; וְגַם-נָשַׁף בָּהֶם וַיִּבָשׁוּ, וּסְעָרָה כַּקַּשׁ תִּשָּׂאֵם.
af bal-nita'u, af bal-zora'u--af bal-shoresh ba'aretz, giz'am; vegam-nashaf bahem vayivashu, use'arah kakash tisa'em.
Scarce are they planted, scarce are they sown, scarce hath their stock taken root in the earth; when He bloweth upon them, they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
25.
וְאֶל-מִי תְדַמְּיוּנִי, וְאֶשְׁוֶה--יֹאמַר, קָדוֹשׁ.
ve'el-mi tedamyuni, ve'eshveh--yomar, kadosh.
To whom then will ye liken Me, that I should be equal? saith the Holy One.
26.
שְׂאוּ-מָרוֹם עֵינֵיכֶם וּרְאוּ מִי-בָרָא אֵלֶּה, הַמּוֹצִיא בְמִסְפָּר צְבָאָם; לְכֻלָּם, בְּשֵׁם יִקְרָא, מֵרֹב אוֹנִים וְאַמִּיץ כֹּחַ, אִישׁ לֹא נֶעְדָּר.
se'u-marom עיניכם u're'u mi-vara elleh, hamotzi vemispar tzeva'am; lekulam, beshem yikra, merov onim ve'ammitz koach, ish lo ne'dar.
Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? He that bringeth out their host by number, He calleth them all by name; by the greatness of His might, and for that He is strong in power, not one faileth.
27.
לָמָּה תֹאמַר יַעֲקֹב, וּתְדַבֵּר יִשְׂרָאֵל: נִסְתְּרָה דַרְכִּי מֵיְהוָה, וּמֵאֱלֹהַי מִשְׁפָּטִי יַעֲבוֹר.
lamah tomar Ya'akov, utdabber Yisrael: nisterah darki me'Adonai, ume'Elohai mishpati ya'avor.
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: 'My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is passed over from my God'?
28.
הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּ אִם-לֹא שָׁמַעְתָּ, אֱלֹהֵי עוֹלָם יְהוָה בּוֹרֵא קְצוֹת הָאָרֶץ--לֹא יִיעַף, וְלֹא יִיגָע: אֵין חֵקֶר, לִתְבוּנָתוֹ.
halo yada'ta im-lo shama'ta, Elohei olam YHWH bore ktzot ha'aretz--lo yiyaf, vlo yiga: ein kheker, litvunato.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
29.
נֹתֵן לַיָּעֵף, כֹּחַ; וּלְאֵין אוֹנִים, עָצְמָה יַרְבֶּה.
noten layya'ef, koakh; ul'ein onim, otzmah yarbeh.
He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength.
30.
וְיִעֲפוּ נְעָרִים, וְיִגָעוּ; וּבַחוּרִים, כָּשׁוֹל יִכָּשֵׁלוּ.
veyi'afu n'arim, veyigau; uvakhurim, kashol yikashelu.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;
31.
וְקוֹיֵ יְהוָה יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ, יַעֲלוּ אֵבֶר כַּנְּשָׁרִים; יָרוּצוּ וְלֹא יִיגָעוּ, יֵלְכוּ וְלֹא יִיעָפוּ.
ve'qoyey YHWH yakhalifu khoakh, ya'alu ever kan'sharim; yarutzu ve'lo yiga'u, yelkhu ve'lo yi'afu.
But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
