DB1 | The evil that men do! Is.5.8-30 | KNSB Contents | notes| 5 | katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE | Passage | Biblia Hebraica |
| 8 | Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no more room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land. | The evil that men do! Is.5.8-30 | הֹוי מַגִּיעֵי בַיִת בְּבַיִת שָׂדֶה בְשָׂדֶה יַקְרִיבוּ עַד אֶפֶס מָקֹום וְהוּשַׁבְתֶּם לְבַדְּכֶם בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ׃ |
| 9 | Yahweh of hosts has sworn in my hearing: "Surely many houses shall be desolate, large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant. | בְּאָזְנָי יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אִם־לֹא בָּתִּים רַבִּים לְשַׁמָּה יִהְיוּ גְּדֹלִים וְטֹובִים מֵאֵין יֹושֵׁב׃ | |
| 10 | For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah." | כִּי עֲשֶׂרֶת צִמְדֵּי־כֶרֶם יַעֲשׂוּ בַּת אֶחָת וְזֶרַע חֹמֶר יַעֲשֶׂה אֵיפָה׃ ף | |
| 11 | Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening till wine inflames them! | הֹוי מַשְׁכִּימֵי בַבֹּקֶר שֵׁכָר יִרְדֹּפוּ מְאַחֲרֵי בַנֶּשֶׁף יַיִן יַדְלִיקֵם׃ | |
| 12 | They have lyre and harp, timbrel and flute and wine at their feasts; but they do not regard the deeds of Yahweh, or see the work of his hands. | וְהָיָה כִנֹּור וָנֶבֶל תֹּף וְחָלִיל וָיַיִן מִשְׁתֵּיהֶם וְאֵת פֹּעַל יְהוָה לֹא יַבִּיטוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו לֹא רָאוּ׃ | |
| 13 | Therefore my people go into exile for want of knowledge; their honoured men are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst. | לָכֵן גָּלָה עַמִּי מִבְּלִי־דָעַת וּכְבֹודֹו מְתֵי רָעָב וַהֲמֹונֹו צִחֵה צָמָא׃ | |
| 14 | Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure, and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude go down, her throng and he who exults in her. | לָכֵן הִרְחִיבָה שְּׁאֹול נַפְשָׁהּ וּפָעֲרָה פִיהָ לִבְלִי־חֹק וְיָרַד הֲדָרָהּ וַהֲמֹונָהּ וּשְׁאֹונָהּ וְעָלֵז בָּהּ׃ | |
| 15 | Man is bowed down, and men are brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humbled. | וַיִּשַּׁח אָדָם וַיִּשְׁפַּל־אִישׁ וְעֵינֵי גְבֹהִים תִּשְׁפַּלְנָה׃ | |
| 16 | But Yahweh of hosts is exalted in justice, and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness. | וַיִּגְבַּה יְהוָה צְבָאֹות בַּמִּשְׁפָּט וְהָאֵל הַקָּדֹושׁ נִקְדָּשׁ בִּצְדָקָה׃ | |
| 17 | Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture, fatlings and kids shall feed among the ruins. | וְרָעוּ כְבָשִׂים כְּדָבְרָם וְחָרְבֹות מֵחִים גָּרִים יֹאכֵלוּ׃ | |
| 18 | Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes, | הֹוי מֹשְׁכֵי הֶעָוֹן בְּחַבְלֵי הַשָּׁוְא וְכַעֲבֹות הָעֲגָלָה חַטָּאָה׃ | |
| 19 | who say: "Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it!" | הָאֹמְרִים יְמַהֵר יָחִישָׁה מַעֲשֵׂהוּ לְמַעַן נִרְאֶה וְתִקְרַב וְתָבֹואָה עֲצַת קְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְנֵדָעָה׃ ס | |
| 20 | Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! | הֹוי הָאֹמְרִים לָרַע טֹוב וְלַטֹּוב רָע שָׂמִים חֹשֶׁךְ לְאֹור וְאֹור לְחֹשֶׁךְ שָׂמִים מַר לְמָתֹוק וּמָתֹוק לְמָר׃ ס | |
| 21 | Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight! | הֹוי חֲכָמִים בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וְנֶגֶד פְּנֵיהֶם נְבֹנִים׃ | |
| 22 | Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, | הֹוי גִּבֹּורִים לִשְׁתֹּות יָיִן וְאַנְשֵׁי־חַיִל לִמְסֹךְ שֵׁכָר׃ | |
| 23 | who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right! | מַצְדִּיקֵי רָשָׁע עֵקֶב שֹׁחַד וְצִדְקַת צַדִּיקִים יָסִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ׃ ס | |
| 24 | Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. | לָכֵן כֶּאֱכֹל קַשׁ לְשֹׁון אֵשׁ וַחֲשַׁשׁ לֶהָבָה יִרְפֶּה שָׁרְשָׁם כַּמָּק יִהְיֶה וּפִרְחָם כָּאָבָק יַעֲלֶה כִּי מָאֲסוּ אֵת תֹּורַת יְהוָה צְבָאֹות וְאֵת אִמְרַת קְדֹושׁ־יִשְׂרָאֵל נִאֵצוּ׃ | |
| 25 | Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still. | עַל־כֵּן חָרָה אַף־יְהוָה בְּעַמֹּו וַיֵּט יָדֹו עָלָיו וַיַּכֵּהוּ וַיִּרְגְּזוּ הֶהָרִים וַתְּהִי נִבְלָתָם כַּסּוּחָה בְּקֶרֶב חוּצֹות בְּכָל־זֹאת לֹא־שָׁב אַפֹּו וְעֹוד יָדֹו נְטוּיָה׃ | |
| 26 | He will raise a signal for a nation afar off, and whistle for it from the ends of the earth; and lo, swiftly, speedily it comes! | וְנָשָׂא־נֵס לַגֹּויִם מֵרָחֹוק וְשָׁרַק לֹו מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ וְהִנֵּה מְהֵרָה קַל יָבֹוא׃ | |
| 27 | None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps, not a waistcloth is loose, not a sandal-thong broken; | אֵין־עָיֵף וְאֵין־כֹּושֵׁל בֹּו לֹא יָנוּם וְלֹא יִישָׁן וְלֹא נִפְתַּח אֵזֹור חֲלָצָיו וְלֹא נִתַּק שְׂרֹוךְ נְעָלָיו׃ | |
| 28 | their arrows are sharp, all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind. | אֲשֶׁר חִצָּיו שְׁנוּנִים וְכָל־קַשְּׁתֹתָיו דְּרֻכֹות פַּרְסֹות סוּסָיו כַּצַּר נֶחְשָׁבוּ וְגַלְגִּלָּיו כַּסּוּפָה׃ | |
| 29 | Their roaring is like a lion, like young lions they roar; they growl and seize their prey, they carry it off, and none can rescue. | שְׁאָגָה לֹו כַּלָּבִיא כ= וְשָׁאַג ק= יִשְׁאַג כַּכְּפִירִים וְיִנְהֹם וְיֹאחֵז טֶרֶף וְיַפְלִיט וְאֵין מַצִּיל׃ | |
| 30 | They will growl over it on that day, like the roaring of the sea. And if one look to the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by its clouds. | וְיִנְהֹם עָלָיו בַּיֹּום הַהוּא כְּנַהֲמַת־יָם וְנִבַּט לָאָרֶץ וְהִנֵּה־חֹשֶׁךְ צַר וָאֹור חָשַׁךְ בַּעֲרִיפֶיהָ׃ ף | |
