49 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

8Thus says Yahweh:
"In a time of favour I have answered you,
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I have kept you and given you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
to apportion the desolate heritages;
The restoration of Jerusalem. Is.49.8-50.3כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה בְּעֵת רָצֹון עֲנִיתִיךָ וּבְיֹום יְשׁוּעָה עֲזַרְתִּיךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ לִבְרִית עָם לְהָקִים אֶרֶץ לְהַנְחִיל נְחָלֹות שֹׁמֵמֹות׃
9saying to the prisoners, 'Come forth,'
to those who are in darkness, 'Appear.'
They shall feed along the ways,
on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
 לֵאמֹר לַאֲסוּרִים צֵאוּ לַאֲשֶׁר בַּחֹשֶׁךְ הִגָּלוּ עַל־דְּרָכִים יִרְעוּ וּבְכָל־שְׁפָיִים מַרְעִיתָם׃
10they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall smite them,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
 לֹא יִרְעָבוּ וְלֹא יִצְמָאוּ וְלֹא־יַכֵּם שָׁרָב וָשָׁמֶשׁ כִּי־מְרַחֲםָם יְנַהֲגֵם וְעַל־מַבּוּעֵי מַיִם יְנַהֲלֵם׃
11And I will make all my mountains a way,
and my highways shall be raised up.
 וְשַׂמְתִּי כָל־הָרַי לַדָּרֶךְ וּמְסִלֹּתַי יְרֻמוּן׃
12Lo, these shall come from afar,
and lo, these from the north and from the west,
and these from the land of Syene."
 הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה מֵרָחֹוק יָבֹאוּ וְהִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה מִצָּפֹון וּמִיָּם וְאֵלֶּה מֵאֶרֶץ סִינִים׃
13Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For Yahweh has comforted his people,
and will have compassion on his afflicted.
 רָנּוּ שָׁמַיִם וְגִילִי אָרֶץ כ= יִפְצְחוּ ק= וּפִצְחוּ הָרִים רִנָּה כִּי־נִחַם יְהוָה עַמֹּו וַעֲנִיָּו יְרַחֵם׃ ס
14But Zion said, "Yahweh has forsaken me,
my Yahweh has forgotten me."
 וַתֹּאמֶר צִיֹּון עֲזָבַנִי יְהוָה וַאדֹנָי שְׁכֵחָנִי׃
15"Can a woman forget her sucking child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
 הֲתִשְׁכַּח אִשָּׁה עוּלָהּ מֵרַחֵם בֶּן־בִּטְנָהּ גַּם־אֵלֶּה תִשְׁכַּחְנָה וְאָנֹכִי לֹא אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ׃
16Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
 הֵן עַל־כַּפַּיִם חַקֹּתִיךְ חֹומֹתַיִךְ נֶגְדִּי תָּמִיד׃
17Your builders outstrip your destroyers,
and those who laid you waste go forth from you.
 מִהֲרוּ בָּנָיִךְ מְהָרְסַיִךְ וּמַחֲרִבַיִךְ מִמֵּךְ יֵצֵאוּ׃
18Lift up your eyes round about and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
As I live, says Yahweh, you shall put them all on as an ornament,
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
 שְׂאִי־סָבִיב עֵינַיִךְ וּרְאִי כֻּלָּם נִקְבְּצוּ בָאוּ־לָךְ חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם־יְהוָה כִּי כֻלָּם כָּעֲדִי תִלְבָּשִׁי וּתְקַשְּׁרִים כַּכַּלָּה׃
19"Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land -
surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
 כִּי חָרְבֹתַיִךְ וְשֹׁמְמֹתַיִךְ וְאֶרֶץ הֲרִסֻתֵיךְ כִּי עַתָּה תֵּצְרִי מִיֹּושֵׁב וְרָחֲקוּ מְבַלְּעָיִךְ׃
20The children born in the time of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
'The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.'
 עֹוד יֹאמְרוּ בְאָזְנַיִךְ בְּנֵי שִׁכֻּלָיִךְ צַר־לִי הַמָּקֹום גְּשָׁה־לִּי וְאֵשֵׁבָה׃
21Then you will say in your heart:
'Who has borne me these?
I was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
whence then have these come?"
 וְאָמַרְתְּ בִּלְבָבֵךְ מִי יָלַד־לִי אֶת־אֵלֶּה וַאֲנִי שְׁכוּלָה וְגַלְמוּדָה גֹּלָה וְסוּרָה וְאֵלֶּה מִי גִדֵּל הֵן אֲנִי נִשְׁאַרְתִּי לְבַדִּי אֵלֶּה אֵיפֹה הֵם׃ ף
22Thus says Yahweh GOD:
"Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
and raise my signal to the peoples;
and they shall bring your sons in their bosom,
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
 כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנֵּה אֶשָּׂא אֶל־גֹּויִם יָדִי וְאֶל־עַמִּים אָרִים נִסִּי וְהֵבִיאוּ בָנַיִךְ בְּחֹצֶן וּבְנֹתַיִךְ עַל־כָּתֵף תִּנָּשֶׂאנָה׃
23Kings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am Yahweh;
those who wait for me shall not be put to shame."
 וְהָיוּ מְלָכִים אֹמְנַיִךְ וְשָׂרֹותֵיהֶם מֵינִיקֹתַיִךְ אַפַּיִם אֶרֶץ יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָךְ וַעֲפַר רַגְלַיִךְ יְלַחֵכוּ וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יֵבֹשׁוּ קֹוָי׃ ס
24Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?
 הֲיֻקַּח מִגִּבֹּור מַלְקֹוחַ וְאִם־שְׁבִי צַדִּיק יִמָּלֵט׃
25Surely, thus says Yahweh:
"Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
 כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה גַּם־שְׁבִי גִבֹּור יֻקָּח וּמַלְקֹוחַ עָרִיץ יִמָּלֵט וְאֶת־יְרִיבֵךְ אָנֹכִי אָרִיב וְאֶת־בָּנַיִךְ אָנֹכִי אֹושִׁיעַ׃
26I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know that I am Yahweh your Saviour,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
 וְהַאֲכַלְתִּי אֶת־מֹונַיִךְ אֶת־בְּשָׂרָם וְכֶעָסִיס דָּםָם יִשְׁכָּרוּן וְיָדְעוּ כָל־בָּשָׂר כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה מֹושִׁיעֵךְ וְגֹאֲלֵךְ אֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב׃ ס

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.
