41 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

41 1Listen to me in silence, O coastlands;
let the peoples renew their strength;
let them approach, then let them speak;
let us together draw near for judgment.
God's assurance to Israel. Is.41.1-20הַחֲרִישׁוּ אֵלַי אִיִּים וּלְאֻמִּים יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ יִגְּשׁוּ אָז יְדַבֵּרוּ יַחְדָּו לַמִּשְׁפָּט נִקְרָבָה׃
2Who stirred up one from the east
whom victory meets at every step?
He gives up nations before him,
so that he tramples kings under foot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
like driven stubble with his bow.
 מִי הֵעִיר מִמִּזְרָח צֶדֶק יִקְרָאֵהוּ לְרַגְלֹו יִתֵּן לְפָנָיו גֹּויִם וּמְלָכִים יַרְדְּ יִתֵּן כֶּעָפָר חַרְבֹּו כְּקַשׁ נִדָּף קַשְׁתֹּו׃
3He pursues them and passes on safely,
by paths his feet have not trod.
 יִרְדְּפֵם יַעֲבֹור שָׁלֹום אֹרַח בְּרַגְלָיו לֹא יָבֹוא׃
4Who has performed and done this,
calling the generations from the beginning?
I, Yahweh, the first,
and with the last; I am He.
 מִי־פָעַל וְעָשָׂה קֹרֵא הַדֹּרֹות מֵרֹאשׁ אֲנִי יְהוָה רִאשֹׁון וְאֶת־אַחֲרֹנִים אֲנִי־הוּא׃
5The coastlands have seen and are afraid,
the ends of the earth tremble;
they have drawn near and come.
 רָאוּ אִיִּים וְיִירָאוּ קְצֹות הָאָרֶץ יֶחֱרָדוּ קָרְבוּ וַיֶּאֱתָיוּן׃
6Every one helps his neighbour,
and says to his brother, "Take courage!"
 אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ יַעְזֹרוּ וּלְאָחִיו יֹאמַר חֲזָק׃
7The craftsman encourages the goldsmith,
and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, "It is good";
and they fasten it with nails so that it cannot be moved.
 וַיְחַזֵּק חָרָשׁ אֶת־צֹרֵף מַחֲלִיק פַּטִּישׁ אֶת־הֹולֶם פָּעַם אֹמֵר לַדֶּבֶק טֹוב הוּא וַיְחַזְּקֵהוּ בְמַסְמְרִים לֹא יִמֹּוט׃ ס
8But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
 וְאַתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדִּי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתִּיךָ זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם אֹהֲבִי׃
9you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, "You are my servant,
I have chosen you and not cast you off";
 אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱזַקְתִּיךָ מִקְצֹות הָאָרֶץ וּמֵאֲצִילֶיהָ קְרָאתִיךָ וָאֹמַר לְךָ עַבְדִּי־אַתָּה בְּחַרְתִּיךָ וְלֹא מְאַסְתִּיךָ׃
10fear not, for I am with you,
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
 אַל־תִּירָא כִּי עִמְּךָ־אָנִי אַל־תִּשְׁתָּע כִּי־אֲנִי אֱלֹהֶיךָ אִמַּצְתִּיךָ אַף־עֲזַרְתִּיךָ אַף־תְּמַכְתִּיךָ בִּימִין צִדְקִי׃
11Behold, all who are incensed against you
shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
shall be as nothing and shall perish.
 הֵן יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִכָּלְמוּ כֹּל הַנֶּחֱרִים בָּךְ יִהְיוּ כְאַיִן וְיֹאבְדוּ אַנְשֵׁי רִיבֶךָ׃
12You shall seek those who contend with you,
but you shall not find them;
those who war against you shall be as nothing at all.
 תְּבַקְשֵׁם וְלֹא תִמְצָאֵם אַנְשֵׁי מַצֻּתֶךָ יִהְיוּ כְאַיִן וּכְאֶפֶס אַנְשֵׁי מִלְחַמְתֶּךָ׃
13For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you."
 כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מַחֲזִיק יְמִינֶךָ הָאֹמֵר לְךָ אַל־תִּירָא אֲנִי עֲזַרְתִּיךָ׃ ס
14Fear not, you worm Jacob,
you men of Israel!
I will help you, says Yahweh;
your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
 אַל־תִּירְאִי תֹּולַעַת יַעֲקֹב מְתֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנִי עֲזַרְתִּיךְ נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְגֹאֲלֵךְ קְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
15Behold, I will make of you a threshing sledge,
new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh the mountains and crush them,
and you shall make the hills like chaff;
 הִנֵּה שַׂמְתִּיךְ לְמֹורַג חָרוּץ חָדָשׁ בַּעַל פִּיפִיֹּות תָּדוּשׁ הָרִים וְתָדֹק וּגְבָעֹות כַּמֹּץ תָּשִׂים׃
16You shall winnow them and the wind shall carry them away,
and the tempest shall scatter them.
And you shall rejoice in Yahweh;
in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.
 תִּזְרֵם וְרוּחַ תִּשָּׂאֵם וּסְעָרָה תָּפִיץ אֹותָם וְאַתָּה תָּגִיל בַּיהוָה בִּקְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל תִּתְהַלָּל׃ ף
17When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none,
and their tongue is parched with thirst,
I Yahweh will answer them,
I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
 הָעֲנִיִּים וְהָאֶבְיֹונִים מְבַקְשִׁים מַיִם וָאַיִן לְשֹׁונָם בַּצָּמָא נָשָׁתָּה אֲנִי יְהוָה אֶעֱנֵם אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא אֶעֶזְבֵם׃
18I will open rivers on the bare heights,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
 אֶפְתַּח עַל־שְׁפָיִים נְהָרֹות וּבְתֹוךְ בְּקָעֹות מַעְיָנֹות אָשִׂים מִדְבָּר לַאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹוצָאֵי מָיִם׃
19I will put in the wilderness the cedar,
the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive;
I will set in the desert the cypress,
the plane and the pine together;
 אֶתֵּן בַּמִּדְבָּר אֶרֶז שִׁטָּה וַהֲדַס וְעֵץ שָׁמֶן אָשִׂים בָּעֲרָבָה בְּרֹושׁ תִּדְהָר וּתְאַשּׁוּר יַחְדָּו׃
20that men may see and know,
may consider and understand together,
that the hand of Yahweh has done this,
the Holy One of Israel has created it.
 לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ וְיֵדְעוּ וְיָשִׂימוּ וְיַשְׂכִּילוּ יַחְדָּו כִּי יַד־יְהוָה עָשְׂתָה זֹּאת וּקְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרָאָהּ׃ ף

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
