9 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

11As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will set your captives free from the waterless pit.
The restoration of God's people. Zch.9.11-17גַּם־אַתְּ בְּדַם־בְּרִיתֵךְ שִׁלַּחְתִּי אֲסִירַיִכְ מִבֹּור אֵין מַיִם בֹּו׃
12Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;
today I declare that I will restore to you double.
 שׁוּבוּ לְבִצָּרֹון אֲסִירֵי הַתִּקְוָה גַּם־הַיֹּום מַגִּיד מִשְׁנֶה אָשִׁיב לָךְ׃
13For I have bent Judah as my bow;
I have made Ephraim its arrow.
I will brandish your sons, O Zion,
over your sons, O Greece,
and wield you like a warrior's sword.
 כִּי־דָרַכְתִּי לִי יְהוּדָה קֶשֶׁת מִלֵּאתִי אֶפְרַיִם וְעֹורַרְתִּי בָנַיִךְ צִיֹּון עַל־בָּנַיִךְ יָוָן וְשַׂמְתִּיךְ כְּחֶרֶב גִּבֹּור׃
14Then Yahweh will appear over them,
and his arrow go forth like lightning;
Yahweh GOD will sound the trumpet,
and march forth in the whirlwinds of the south.
 וַיהוָה עֲלֵיהֶם יֵרָאֶה וְיָצָא כַבָּרָק חִצֹּו וַאדֹנָי יְהֹוִה בַּשֹּׁופָר יִתְקָע וְהָלַךְ בְּסַעֲרֹות תֵּימָן׃
15Yahweh of hosts will protect them,
and they shall devour and tread down the slingers;
and they shall drink their blood like wine,
and be full like a bowl,
drenched like the corners of the altar.
 יְהוָה צְבָאֹות יָגֵן עֲלֵיהֶם וְאָכְלוּ וְכָבְשׁוּ אַבְנֵי־קֶלַע וְשָׁתוּ הָמוּ כְּמֹו־יָיִן וּמָלְאוּ כַּמִּזְרָק כְּזָוִיֹּות מִזְבֵּחַ׃
16On that day Yahweh their God will save them
for they are the flock of his people;
for like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.
 וְהֹושִׁיעָם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם בַּיֹּום הַהוּא כְּצֹאן עַמֹּו כִּי אַבְנֵי־נֵזֶר מִתְנֹוסְסֹות עַל־אַדְמָתֹו׃
17Yea, how good and how fair it shall be!
Grain shall make the young men flourish,
and new wine the maidens.
 כִּי מַה־טּוּבֹו וּמַה־יָפְיֹו דָּגָן בַּחוּרִים וְתִירֹושׁ יְנֹובֵב בְּתֻלֹות׃

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.
