| 40 1 | Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. | ISAIAH 2. (The Exile). Words of hope. Is.40.1-11 | נַחֲמוּ נַחֲמוּ עַמִּי יֹאמַר אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
| 2 | Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from Yahweh's hand double for all her sins. | דַּבְּרוּ עַל־לֵב יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְקִרְאוּ אֵלֶיהָ כִּי מָלְאָה צְבָאָהּ כִּי נִרְצָה עֲוֹנָהּ כִּי לָקְחָה מִיַּד יְהוָה כִּפְלַיִם בְּכָל־חַטֹּאתֶיהָ׃ ס | |
| 3 | A voice cries: "In the wilderness prepare the way of Yahweh, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. | קֹול קֹורֵא בַּמִּדְבָּר פַּנּוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה יַשְּׁרוּ בָּעֲרָבָה מְסִלָּה לֵאלֹהֵינוּ׃ | |
| 4 | Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. | כָּל־גֶּיא יִנָּשֵׂא וְכָל־הַר וְגִבְעָה יִשְׁפָּלוּ וְהָיָה הֶעָקֹב לְמִישֹׁור וְהָרְכָסִים לְבִקְעָה׃ | |
| 5 | And the glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken." | וְנִגְלָה כְּבֹוד יְהוָה וְרָאוּ כָל־בָּשָׂר יַחְדָּו כִּי פִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר׃ ס | |
| 6 | A voice says, "Cry!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. | קֹול אֹמֵר קְרָא וְאָמַר מָה אֶקְרָא כָּל־הַבָּשָׂר חָצִיר וְכָל־חַסְדֹּו כְּצִיץ הַשָּׂדֶה׃ | |
| 7 | The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of Yahweh blows upon it; surely the people is grass. | יָבֵשׁ חָצִיר נָבֵל צִיץ כִּי רוּחַ יְהוָה נָשְׁבָה בֹּו אָכֵן חָצִיר הָעָם׃ | |
| 8 | The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand for ever. | יָבֵשׁ חָצִיר נָבֵל צִיץ וּדְבַר־אֱלֹהֵינוּ יָקוּם לְעֹולָם׃ ס | |
| 9 | Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!" | עַל הַר־גָּבֹהַ עֲלִי־לָךְ מְבַשֶּׂרֶת צִיֹּון הָרִימִי בַכֹּחַ קֹולֵךְ מְבַשֶּׂרֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָם הָרִימִי אַל־תִּירָאִי אִמְרִי לְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה הִנֵּה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ | |
| 10 | Behold, the Lord Yahweh comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. | הִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּחָזָק יָבֹוא וּזְרֹעֹו מֹשְׁלָה לֹו הִנֵּה שְׂכָרֹו אִתֹּו וּפְעֻלָּתֹו לְפָנָיו׃ | |
| 11 | He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arms, he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. | כְּרֹעֶה עֶדְרֹו יִרְעֶה בִּזְרֹעֹו יְקַבֵּץ טְלָאִים וּבְחֵיקֹו יִשָּׂא עָלֹות יְנַהֵל׃ ס | |
