| [1]שִׁמְעוּ־נָא אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָה אֹמֵר קוּם רִיב אֶת־הֶהָרִים וְתִשְׁמַעְנָה הַגְּבָעֹות קֹולֶךָ׃ |
[1]Hear, I pray you, that which Jehovah is saying: `Rise -- strive thou with the mountains, And cause thou the hills to hear thy voice.' |
| [2]שִׁמְעוּ הָרִים אֶת־רִיב יְהוָה וְהָאֵתָנִים מֹסְדֵי אָרֶץ כִּי רִיב לַיהוָה עִם־עַמֹּו וְעִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל יִתְוַכָּח׃ |
[2]Hear, O mountains, the strife of Jehovah, Ye strong ones -- foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to Jehovah, with His people, And with Israel He doth reason. |
| [3]עַמִּי מֶה־עָשִׂיתִי לְךָ וּמָה הֶלְאֵתִיךָ עֲנֵה בִי׃ |
[3]O My people, what have I done to thee? And what -- have I wearied thee? Testify against Me. |
| [4]כִּי הֶעֱלִתִיךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וּמִבֵּית עֲבָדִים פְּדִיתִיךָ וָאֶשְׁלַח לְפָנֶיךָ אֶת־מֹשֶׁה אַהֲרֹן וּמִרְיָם׃ |
[4]For I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of servants I have ransomed thee, And I send before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. |
| [5]עַמִּי זְכָר־נָא מַה־יָּעַץ בָּלָק מֶלֶךְ מֹואָב וּמֶה־עָנָה אֹתֹו בִּלְעָם בֶּן־בְּעֹור מִן־הַשִּׁטִּים עַד־הַגִּלְגָּל לְמַעַן דַּעַת צִדְקֹות יְהוָה׃ |
[5]O My people, remember, I pray you, What counsel did Balak king of Moab, What answer him did Balaam son of Beor, (From Shittim unto Gilgal,) In order to know the righteous acts of Jehovah.' |
| [6]בַּמָּה אֲקַדֵּם יְהוָה אִכַּף לֵאלֹהֵי מָרֹום הַאֲקַדְּמֶנּוּ בְעֹולֹות בַּעֲגָלִים בְּנֵי שָׁנָה׃ |
[6]With what do I come before Jehovah? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves -- sons of a year? |
| [7]הֲיִרְצֶה יְהוָה בְּאַלְפֵי אֵילִים בְּרִבְבֹות נַחֲלֵי־שָׁמֶן הַאֶתֵּן בְּכֹורִי פִּשְׁעִי פְּרִי בִטְנִי חַטַּאת נַפְשִׁי׃ |
[7]Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my first-born [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul? |
| [8]הִגִּיד לְךָ אָדָם מַה־טֹּוב וּמָה־יְהוָה דֹּורֵשׁ מִמְּךָ כִּי אִם־עֲשֹׂות מִשְׁפָּט וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד וְהַצְנֵעַ לֶכֶת עִם־אֱלֹהֶיךָ׃ |
[8]He hath declared to thee, O man, what [is] good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except -- to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God? |
| [9]קֹול יְהוָה לָעִיר יִקְרָא וְתוּשִׁיָּה יִרְאֶה שְׁמֶךָ שִׁמְעוּ מַטֶּה וּמִי יְעָדָהּ׃ |
[9]A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it. |
| [10]עֹוד הַאִשׁ בֵּית רָשָׁע אֹצְרֹות רֶשַׁע וְאֵיפַת רָזֹון זְעוּמָה׃ |
[10]Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah? |
| [11]הַאֶזְכֶּה בְּמֹאזְנֵי רֶשַׁע וּבְכִיס אַבְנֵי מִרְמָה׃ |
[11]Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones? |
| [12]אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׁירֶיהָ מָלְאוּ חָמָס וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ דִּבְּרוּ־שָׁקֶר וּלְשֹׁונָם רְמִיָּה בְּפִיהֶם׃ |
[12]Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth. |
| [13]וְגַם־אֲנִי הֶחֱלֵיתִי הַכֹּותֶךָ הַשְׁםֵם עַל־חַטֹּאתֶךָ׃ |
[13]And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins. |
| [14]אַתָּה תֹאכַל וְלֹא תִשְׂבָּע וְיֶשְׁחֲךָ בְּקִרְבֶּךָ וְתַסֵּג וְלֹא תַפְלִיט וַאֲשֶׁר תְּפַלֵּט לַחֶרֶב אֶתֵּן׃ |
[14]Thou -- thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy pit [is] in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver, And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give. |
| [15]אַתָּה תִזְרַע וְלֹא תִקְצֹור אַתָּה תִדְרֹךְ־זַיִת וְלֹא־תָסוּךְ שֶׁמֶן וְתִירֹושׁ וְלֹא תִשְׁתֶּה־יָּיִן׃ |
[15]Thou -- thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou -- thou treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine -- and thou drinkest not wine. |
| [16]וְיִשְׁתַּמֵּר חֻקֹּות עָמְרִי וְכֹל מַעֲשֵׂה בֵית־אַחְאָב וַתֵּלְכוּ בְּמֹעֲצֹותָם לְמַעַן תִּתִּי אֹתְךָ לְשַׁמָּה וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ לִשְׁרֵקָה וְחֶרְפַּת עַמִּי תִּשָּׂאוּ׃ |
[16]And kept habitually are the statutes of Omri, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And ye do walk in their counsels, For My giving thee for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And the reproach of My people ye do bear! |
