| [1]וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׂחֲק֣וּ עָלַי֮ צְעִירִ֥ים מִמֶּ֗נִּי לְיָ֫מִ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־מָאַ֥סְתִּי אֲבֹותָ֑ם לָ֝שִׁ֗ית עִם־כַּלְבֵ֥י צֹאנִֽי׃ |
[1]BUT now they laugh at me, those who are less than I, |
| [2]גַּם־כֹּ֣חַ יְ֭דֵיהֶם לָ֣מָּה לִּ֑י עָ֝לֵ֗ימֹו אָ֣בַד כָּֽלַח׃ |
[2]Whose fathers I have disdained, and did not consider them equal to the dogs of my flocks. |
| [3]בְּחֶ֥סֶר וּבְכָפָ֗ן גַּ֫לְמ֥וּד הַֽעֹרְקִ֥ים צִיָּ֑ה אֶ֝֗מֶשׁ שֹׁואָ֥ה וּמְשֹׁאָֽה׃ |
[3]Yea, the strength of their hands, of what use would it have been to me? |
| [4]הַקֹּטְפִ֣ים מַלּ֣וּחַ עֲלֵי־שִׂ֑יחַ וְשֹׁ֖רֶשׁ רְתָמִ֣ים לַחְמָֽם׃ |
[4]For they had lost their power completely. |
| [5]מִן־גֵּ֥ו יְגֹרָ֑שׁוּ יָרִ֥יעוּ עָ֝לֵ֗ימֹו כַּגַּנָּֽב׃ |
[5]They were forced by bare necessities, like a thief swept off his feet, |
| [6]בַּעֲר֣וּץ נְחָלִ֣ים לִשְׁכֹּ֑ן חֹרֵ֖י עָפָ֣ר וְכֵפִֽים׃ |
[6]Fleeing to dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, in crevices, |
| [7]בֵּין־שִׂיחִ֥ים יִנְהָ֑קוּ תַּ֖חַת חָר֣וּל יְסֻפָּֽחוּ׃ |
[7]In rocky places, and under bushes. |
| [8]בְּֽנֵי־נָ֭בָל גַּם־בְּנֵ֣י בְלִי־שֵׁ֑ם נִ֝כְּא֗וּ מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
[8]The children of fools shall be overthrown together with the children of the wicked; they shall be brought lower than the earth. |
| [9]וְ֭עַתָּה נְגִינָתָ֣ם הָיִ֑יתִי וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמִלָּֽה׃ |
[9]And now I am the subject of their mocking, yea, I have become a byword to them. |
| [10]תִּֽ֭עֲבוּנִי רָ֣חֲקוּ מֶ֑נִּי וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק׃ |
[10]They abhor me, they flee far from me, and do not fail to spit in my face. |
| [11]כִּֽי־ [יִתְרֹו כ] (יִתְרִ֣י ק) פִ֭תַּח וַיְעַנֵּ֑נִי וְ֝רֶ֗סֶן מִפָּנַ֥י שִׁלֵּֽחוּ׃ |
[11]Because they began to deride me and humiliate me, they have also put their bridle in my mouth. |
| [12]עַל־יָמִין֮ פִּרְחַ֪ח יָ֫ק֥וּמוּ רַגְלַ֥י שִׁלֵּ֑חוּ וַיָּסֹ֥לּוּ עָ֝לַ֗י אָרְחֹ֥ות אֵידָֽם׃ |
[12]They rise up against my right hand, they have tripped me up; they have perplexed me through the crookedness of their ways. |
| [13]נָתְס֗וּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י לְהַוָּתִֽי יֹעִ֑ילוּ לֹ֖א עֹזֵ֣ר לָֽמֹו׃ |
[13]They mar my paths without a cause, they rejoice for what has befallen me; they shall have no helper. |
| [14]כְּפֶ֣רֶץ רָחָ֣ב יֶאֱתָ֑יוּ תַּ֥חַת אָ֗ה הִתְגַּלְגָּֽלוּ׃ |
[14]They shall suffer a great ruin; they shall be broken by the hurricane |
| [15]הָהְפַּ֥ךְ עָלַ֗י בַּלָּ֫הֹ֥ות תִּרְדֹּ֣ף כָּ֭רוּחַ נְדִבָתִ֑י וּ֝כְעָ֗ב עָבְרָ֥ה יְשֻׁעָתִֽי׃ |
[15]For they have brought terror upon me; they have pursued my paths like the wind; and my help has passed away like a cloud. |
| [16]וְעַתָּ֗ה עָ֭לַי תִּשְׁתַּפֵּ֣ךְ נַפְשִׁ֑י יֹ֖אחֲז֣וּנִי יְמֵי־עֹֽנִי׃ |
[16]And now my soul is weary; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. |
| [17]לַ֗יְלָה עֲ֭צָמַי נִקַּ֣ר מֵעָלָ֑י וְ֝עֹרְקַ֗י לֹ֣א יִשְׁכָּבֽוּן׃ |
[17]In the night my bones are in pain, and my body has no strength in it. |
| [18]בְּרָב־כֹּ֖חַ יִתְחַפֵּ֣שׂ לְבוּשִׁ֑י כְּפִ֖י כֻתָּנְתִּ֣י יַֽאַזְרֵֽנִי׃ |
[18]I have put on my garment; and girded up myself with my robe. |
| [19]הֹרָ֥נִי לַחֹ֑מֶר וָ֝אֶתְמַשֵּׁ֗ל כֶּעָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר׃ |
[19]But they have cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. |
| [20]אֲשַׁוַּ֣ע אֵ֭לֶיךָ וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֵ֑נִי עָ֝מַ֗דְתִּי וַתִּתְבֹּ֥נֶן בִּֽי׃ |
[20]I cry to thee, and thou dost not answer me; I stand up and thou dost not consider me. |
| [21]תֵּהָפֵ֣ךְ לְאַכְזָ֣ר לִ֑י בְּעֹ֖צֶם יָדְךָ֣ תִשְׂטְמֵֽנִי׃ |
[21]Thou hast treated me as an enemy to thee; with thy strong hand thou hast restrained me. |
| [22]תִּשָּׂאֵ֣נִי אֶל־ר֖וּחַ תַּרְכִּיבֵ֑נִי וּ֝תְמֹגְגֵ֗נִי [תְּשֻׁוֶּה כ] (תּוּשִׁיָּֽה׃ ק) |
[22]Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and then thou afflictest me, and makest me wretched. |
| [23]כִּֽי־יָ֭דַעְתִּי מָ֣וֶת תְּשִׁיבֵ֑נִי וּבֵ֖ית מֹועֵ֣ד לְכָל־חָֽי׃ |
[23]And yet I know that thou wilt bring me back from death to the meeting place for all living. |
| [24]אַ֣ךְ לֹא־בְ֭עִי יִשְׁלַח־יָ֑ד אִם־בְּ֝פִידֹ֗ו לָהֶ֥ן שֽׁוּעַ׃ |
[24]But he will not stretch out his hand against me, and when I cry to him he will save me. |
| [25]אִם־לֹ֣א בָ֭כִיתִי לִקְשֵׁה־יֹ֑ום עָֽגְמָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י לָאֶבְיֹֽון׃ |
[25]I have wept for the poor in the daytime, and my soul was grieved for the fatherless. |
| [26]כִּ֤י טֹ֣וב קִ֭וִּיתִי וַיָּ֣בֹא רָ֑ע וַֽאֲיַחֲלָ֥ה לְ֝אֹ֗ור וַיָּ֥בֹא אֹֽפֶל׃ |
[26]But when I looked for good, evil came; and when I waited for light, there came darkness. |
| [27]מֵעַ֖י רֻתְּח֥וּ וְלֹא־דָ֗מּוּ קִדְּמֻ֥נִי יְמֵי־עֹֽנִי׃ |
[27]My heart was agitated, and did not rest; the days of affliction came upon me. |
| [28]קֹדֵ֣ר הִ֭לַּכְתִּי בְּלֹ֣א חַמָּ֑ה קַ֖מְתִּי בַקָּהָ֣ל אֲשַׁוֵּֽעַ׃ |
[28]I walked mournfully without being resentful; I stood up and wept in the congregation. |
| [29]אָ֭ח הָיִ֣יתִי לְתַנִּ֑ים וְ֝רֵ֗עַ לִבְנֹ֥ות יַעֲנָֽה׃ |
[29]I am become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches. |
| [30]עֹ֖ורִי שָׁחַ֣ר מֵעָלָ֑י וְעַצְמִי־חָ֝֗רָה מִנִּי־חֹֽרֶב׃ |
[30]My skin has shrunk upon me, and my bones are burned as with heat. |
| [31]וַיְהִ֣י לְ֭אֵבֶל כִּנֹּרִ֑י וְ֝עֻגָבִ֗י לְקֹ֣ול בֹּכִֽים׃ |
[31]My harp is also turned to mourning, and my song to the voice of those who weep |
