Isaiah 42

1Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

הֵן עַבְדִּי אֶתְמָךְ־בֹּו בְּחִירִי רָצְתָה נַפְשִׁי נָתַתִּי רוּחִי עָלָיו מִשְׁפָּט לַגֹּויִם יֹוצִיא׃ (3810)

2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

לֹא יִצְעַק וְלֹא יִשָּׂא וְלֹא־יַשְׁמִיעַ בַּחוּץ קֹולֹו׃ (1364)

3A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

קָנֶה רָצוּץ לֹא יִשְׁבֹּור וּפִשְׁתָּה כֵהָה לֹא יְכַבֶּנָּה לֶאֱמֶת יֹוצִיא מִשְׁפָּט׃ (3046)

4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

לֹא יִכְהֶה וְלֹא יָרוּץ עַד־יָשִׂים בָּאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּט וּלְתֹורָתֹו אִיִּים יְיַחֵילוּ׃ (2753)

5Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

כֹּה־אָמַר הָאֵל ׀ יְהוָה בֹּורֵא הַשָּׁמַיִם וְנֹוטֵיהֶם רֹקַע הָאָרֶץ וְצֶאֱצָאֶיהָ נֹתֵן נְשָׁמָה לָעָם עָלֶיהָ וְרוּחַ לַהֹלְכִים בָּהּ׃ (3439)

6I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

אֲנִי יְהוָה קְרָאתִיךָ בְצֶדֶק וְאַחְזֵק בְּיָדֶךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ לִבְרִית עָם לְאֹור גֹּויִם׃ (3014)

7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

לִפְקֹחַ עֵינַיִם עִוְרֹות לְהֹוצִיא מִמַּסְגֵּר אַסִּיר מִבֵּית כֶּלֶא יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ׃ (2989)

8I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

אֲנִי יְהוָה הוּא שְׁמִי וּכְבֹודִי לְאַחֵר לֹא־אֶתֵּן וּתְהִלָּתִי לַפְּסִילִים׃ (2329)

9Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

הָרִאשֹׁנֹות הִנֵּה־בָאוּ וַחֲדָשֹׁות אֲנִי מַגִּיד בְּטֶרֶם תִּצְמַחְנָה אַשְׁמִיע אֶתְכֶם׃ (3599)

10Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּתֹו מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ יֹורְדֵי הַיָּם וּמְלֹאֹו אִיִּים וְיֹשְׁבֵיהֶם׃ (3568)

11Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

יִשְׂאוּ מִדְבָּר וְעָרָיו חֲצֵרִים תֵּשֵׁב קֵדָר יָרֹנּוּ יֹשְׁבֵי סֶלַע מֵרֹאשׁ הָרִים יִצְוָחוּ׃ (3873)

12Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

יָשִׂימוּ לַיהוָה כָּבֹוד וּתְהִלָּתֹו בָּאִיִּים יַגִּידוּ׃ (1397)

13The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

יְהוָה כַּגִּבֹּור יֵצֵא כְּאִישׁ מִלְחָמֹות יָעִיר קִנְאָה יָרִיעַ אַף־יַצְרִיחַ עַל־אֹיְבָיו יִתְגַּבָּר׃ (3092)

14I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

הֶחֱשֵׁיתִי מֵעֹולָם אַחֲרִישׁ אֶתְאַפָּק כַּיֹּולֵדָה אֶפְעֶה אֶשֹּׁם וְאֶשְׁאַף יָחַד׃ (3002)

15I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

אַחֲרִיב הָרִים וּגְבָעֹות וְכָל־עֶשְׂבָּם אֹובִישׁ וְשַׂמְתִּי נְהָרֹות לָאִיִּים וַאֲגַמִּים אֹובִישׁ׃ (3677)

16And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

וְהֹולַכְתִּי עִוְרִים בְּדֶרֶךְ לֹא יָדָעוּ בִּנְתִיבֹות לֹא־יָדְעוּ אַדְרִיכֵם אָשִׂים מַחְשָׁךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם לָאֹור וּמַעֲקַשִּׁים לְמִישֹׁור אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים עֲשִׂיתִם וְלֹא עֲזַבְתִּים׃ (6422)

17They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

נָסֹגוּ אָחֹור יֵבֹשׁוּ בֹשֶׁת הַבֹּטְחִים בַּפָּסֶל הָאֹמְרִים לְמַסֵּכָה אַתֶּם אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃ (2594)

18Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

הַחֵרְשִׁים שְׁמָעוּ וְהַעִוְרִים הַבִּיטוּ לִרְאֹות׃ (1985)

19Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?

מִי עִוֵּר כִּי אִם־עַבְדִּי וְחֵרֵשׁ כְּמַלְאָכִי אֶשְׁלָח מִי עִוֵּר כִּמְשֻׁלָּם וְעִוֵּר כְּעֶבֶד יְהוָה׃ (2617)

20Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

[רָאִיתָ כ] (רָאֹות ק) רַבֹּות וְלֹא תִשְׁמֹר פָּקֹוחַ אָזְנַיִם וְלֹא יִשְׁמָע׃ (3682)

21The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

יְהוָה חָפֵץ לְמַעַן צִדְקֹו יַגְדִּיל תֹּורָה וְיַאְדִּיר׃ (1493)

22But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

וְהוּא עַם־בָּזוּז וְשָׁסוּי הָפֵחַ בַּחוּרִים כֻּלָּם וּבְבָתֵּי כְלָאִים הָחְבָּאוּ הָיוּ לָבַז וְאֵין מַצִּיל מְשִׁסָּה וְאֵין־אֹמֵר הָשַׁב׃ (2841)

23Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

מִי בָכֶם יַאֲזִין זֹאת יַקְשִׁב וְיִשְׁמַע לְאָחֹור׃ (1681)

24Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

מִי־נָתַן [לִמְשֹׁוסֶה כ] (לִמְשִׁסָּה ק) יַעֲקֹב וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְבֹזְזִים הֲלֹוא יְהוָה זוּ חָטָאנוּ לֹו וְלֹא־אָבוּ בִדְרָכָיו הָלֹוךְ וְלֹא שָׁמְעוּ בְּתֹורָתֹו׃ (4378)

25Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

וַיִּשְׁפֹּךְ עָלָיו חֵמָה אַפֹּו וֶעֱזוּז מִלְחָמָה וַתְּלַהֲטֵהוּ מִסָּבִיב וְלֹא יָדָע וַתִּבְעַר־בֹּו וְלֹא־יָשִׂים עַל־לֵב׃ (2802)
