41 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

21Set forth your case, says Yahweh;
bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob.
The LORD's challenge to false gods. Is.41.21-29קָרְבוּ רִיבְכֶם יֹאמַר יְהוָה הַגִּישׁוּ עֲצֻמֹותֵיכֶם יֹאמַר מֶלֶךְ יַעֲקֹב׃
22Let them bring them, and tell us
what is to happen.
Tell us the former things, what they are,
that we may consider them,
that we may know their outcome;
or declare to us the things to come.
 יַגִּישׁוּ וְיַגִּידוּ לָנוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר תִּקְרֶינָה הָרִאשֹׁנֹות מָה הֵנָּה הַגִּידוּ וְנָשִׂימָה לִבֵּנוּ וְנֵדְעָה אַחֲרִיתָן אֹו הַבָּאֹות הַשְׁמִיעֻנוּ׃
23Tell us what is to come hereafter,
that we may know that you are gods;
do good, or do harm,
that we may be dismayed and terrified.
 הַגִּידוּ הָאֹתִיֹּות לְאָחֹור וְנֵדְעָה כִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם אַף־תֵּיטִיבוּ וְתָרֵעוּ וְנִשְׁתָּעָה כ= וְנִרָא ק= וְנִרְאֶה יַחְדָּו׃
24Behold, you are nothing,
and your work is nought;
an abomination is he who chooses you.
 הֵן־אַתֶּם מֵאַיִן וּפָעָלְכֶם מֵאָפַע תֹּועֵבָה יִבְחַר בָּכֶם׃
25I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
from the rising of the sun, and he shall call on my name;
he shall trample on rulers as on mortar,
as the potter treads clay.
 הַעִירֹותִי מִצָּפֹון וַיַּאת מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁמֶשׁ יִקְרָא בִשְׁמִי וְיָבֹא סְגָנִים כְּמֹו־חֹמֶר וּכְמֹו יֹוצֵר יִרְמָס־טִיט׃
26Who declared it from the beginning, that we might know,
and beforetime, that we might say, "He is right"?
There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed,
none who heard your words.
 מִי־הִגִּיד מֵרֹאשׁ וְנֵדָעָה וּמִלְּפָנִים וְנֹאמַר צַדִּיק אַף אֵין־מַגִּיד אַף אֵין מַשְׁמִיעַ אַף אֵין־שֹׁמֵעַ אִמְרֵיכֶם׃
27I first have declared it to Zion,
and I give to Jerusalem a herald of good tidings.
 רִאשֹׁון לְצִיֹּון הִנֵּה הִנָּם וְלִירוּשָׁלִַם מְבַשֵּׂר אֶתֵּן׃
28But when I look there is no one;
among these there is no counselor
who, when I ask, gives an answer.
 וְאֵרֶא וְאֵין אִישׁ וּמֵאֵלֶּה וְאֵין יֹועֵץ וְאֶשְׁאָלֵם וְיָשִׁיבוּ דָבָר׃
29Behold, they are all a delusion;
their works are nothing;
their molten images are empty wind.
 הֵן כֻּלָּם אָוֶן אֶפֶס מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם רוּחַ וָתֹהוּ נִסְכֵּיהֶם׃ 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.
