| יד:ב שׁוּבָה, יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַד, יקוק א-לקיךָ: כִּי כָשַׁלְתָּ, בַּעֲונֶךָ. | 14:2 Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity. |
| ג קְחוּ עִמָּכֶם דְּבָרִים, וְשׁוּבוּ אֶל-יקוק; אִמְרוּ אֵלָיו, כָּל-תִּשָּׂא עָון וְקַח-טוֹב, וּנְשַׁלְּמָה פָרִים, שְׂפָתֵינוּ. | 3 Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips. |
| ד אַשּׁוּר לֹא יוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ, עַל-סוּס לֹא נִרְכָּב, וְלֹא-נֹאמַר עוֹד אֱלֹהֵינוּ, לְמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ--אֲשֶׁר-בְּךָ, יְרֻחַם יָתוֹם. | 4 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy.' |
| ה אֶרְפָּא, מְשׁוּבָתָם--אֹהֲבֵם, נְדָבָה: כִּי שָׁב אַפִּי, מִמֶּנּוּ. | 5 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him. |
| ו אֶהְיֶה כַטַּל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, יִפְרַח כַּשּׁוֹשַׁנָּה; וְיַךְ שָׁרָשָׁיו, כַּלְּבָנוֹן. | 6 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. |
| ז יֵלְכוּ, יֹנְקוֹתָיו, וִיהִי כַזַּיִת, הוֹדוֹ; וְרֵיחַ לוֹ, כַּלְּבָנוֹן. | 7 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon. |
| ח יָשֻׁבוּ יֹשְׁבֵי בְצִלּוֹ, יְחַיּוּ דָגָן וְיִפְרְחוּ כַגָּפֶן; זִכְרוֹ, כְּיֵין לְבָנוֹן. | 8 They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. |
| ט אֶפְרַיִם, מַה-לִּי עוֹד לָעֲצַבִּים; אֲנִי עָנִיתִי וַאֲשׁוּרֶנּוּ, אֲנִי כִּבְרוֹשׁ רַעֲנָן--מִמֶּנִּי, פֶּרְיְךָ נִמְצָא. | 9 Ephraim [shall say]: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is thy fruit found. |
| י מִי חָכָם וְיָבֵן אֵלֶּה, נָבוֹן וְיֵדָעֵם: כִּי-יְשָׁרִים דַּרְכֵי יקוק, וְצַדִּקִים יֵלְכוּ בָם, וּפֹשְׁעִים, יִכָּשְׁלוּ בָם. | 10 Whoso is wise, let him understand these things, whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble therein. |
Yoel 2:15-2:27
|
| ב:טו תִּקְעוּ שׁוֹפָר, בְּצִיּוֹן; קַדְּשׁוּ-צוֹם, קִרְאוּ עֲצָרָה. | 2:15 Blow the horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; |
| טז אִסְפוּ-עָם קַדְּשׁוּ קָהָל, קִבְצוּ זְקֵנִים--אִסְפוּ עוֹלָלִים, וְיֹנְקֵי שָׁדָיִם: יֵצֵא חָתָן מֵחֶדְרוֹ, וְכַלָּה מֵחֻפָּתָהּ. | 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her pavilion. |
| יז בֵּין הָאוּלָם, וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ, יִבְכּוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים, מְשָׁרְתֵי יקוק; וְיֹאמְרוּ חוּסָה יקוק עַל-עַמֶּךָ, וְאַל-תִּתֵּן נַחֲלָתְךָ לְחֶרְפָּה לִמְשָׁל-בָּם גּוֹיִם--לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ בָעַמִּים, אַיֵּה א-לקיהֶם. | 17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say: 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should make them a byword: wherefore should they say among the peoples: Where is their God?' |
| יח וַיְקַנֵּא יקוק, לְאַרְצוֹ; וַיַּחְמֹל, עַל-עַמּוֹ. | 18 Then was the LORD jealous for His land, and had pity on His people. |
| יט וַיַּעַן יקוק וַיֹּאמֶר לְעַמּוֹ, הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ לָכֶם אֶת-הַדָּגָן וְהַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר, וּשְׂבַעְתֶּם, אֹתוֹ; וְלֹא-אֶתֵּן אֶתְכֶם עוֹד חֶרְפָּה, בַּגּוֹיִם. | 19 And the LORD answered and said unto His people: 'Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations; |
| כ וְאֶת-הַצְּפוֹנִי אַרְחִיק מֵעֲלֵיכֶם, וְהִדַּחְתִּיו אֶל-אֶרֶץ צִיָּה וּשְׁמָמָה--אֶת-פָּנָיו אֶל-הַיָּם הַקַּדְמֹנִי, וְסֹפוֹ אֶל-הַיָּם הָאַחֲרוֹן; וְעָלָה בָאְשׁוֹ, וְתַעַל צַחֲנָתוֹ--כִּי הִגְדִּיל, לַעֲשׂוֹת. | 20 But I will remove far off from you the northern one, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the eastern sea, and his hinder part toward the western sea; that his foulness may come up, and his ill savour may come up, because he hath done great things.' |
| כא אַל-תִּירְאִי, אֲדָמָה; גִּילִי וּשְׂמָחִי, כִּי-הִגְדִּיל יקוק לַעֲשׂוֹת. | 21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for the LORD hath done great things. |
| כב אַל-תִּירְאוּ בַּהֲמוֹת שָׂדַי, כִּי דָשְׁאוּ נְאוֹת מִדְבָּר: כִּי-עֵץ נָשָׂא פִרְיוֹ, תְּאֵנָה וָגֶפֶן נָתְנוּ חֵילָם. | 22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength. |
| כג וּבְנֵי צִיּוֹן, גִּילוּ וְשִׂמְחוּ בַּיקוק א-לקיכֶם, כִּי-נָתַן לָכֶם אֶת-הַמּוֹרֶה, לִצְדָקָה; וַיּוֹרֶד לָכֶם, גֶּשֶׁם מוֹרֶה וּמַלְקוֹשׁ--בָּרִאשׁוֹן. | 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He giveth you the former rain in just measure, and He causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, at the first. |
| כד וּמָלְאוּ הַגֳּרָנוֹת, בָּר; וְהֵשִׁיקוּ הַיְקָבִים, תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר. | 24 And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. |
| כה וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי לָכֶם, אֶת-הַשָּׁנִים, אֲשֶׁר אָכַל הָאַרְבֶּה, הַיֶּלֶק וְהֶחָסִיל וְהַגָּזָם: חֵילִי, הַגָּדוֹל, אֲשֶׁר שִׁלַּחְתִּי, בָּכֶם. | 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpiller, and the palmer-worm, My great army which I sent among you. |
| כו וַאֲכַלְתֶּם אָכוֹל, וְשָׂבוֹעַ, וְהִלַּלְתֶּם אֶת-שֵׁם יקוק א-לקיכֶם, אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה עִמָּכֶם לְהַפְלִיא; וְלֹא-יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי, לְעוֹלָם. | 26 And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be ashamed. |
| כז וִידַעְתֶּם, כִּי בְקֶרֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל אָנִי, וַאֲנִי יקוק א-לקיכֶם, וְאֵין עוֹד; וְלֹא-יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי, לְעוֹלָם. | 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and there is none else; and My people shall never be ashamed. |
