| יב:יג וַיִּבְרַח יַעֲקֹב, שְׂדֵה אֲרָם; וַיַּעֲבֹד יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּאִשָּׁה, וּבְאִשָּׁה שָׁמָר. | 12:13 And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. |
| יד וּבְנָבִיא, הֶעֱלָה יקוק אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם; וּבְנָבִיא, נִשְׁמָר. | 14 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he kept. |
| טו הִכְעִיס אֶפְרַיִם, תַּמְרוּרִים; וְדָמָיו, עָלָיו יִטּוֹשׁ, וְחֶרְפָּתוֹ, יָשִׁיב לוֹ א-דניו. | 15 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly; therefore shall his blood be cast upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him. |
| יג:א כְּדַבֵּר אֶפְרַיִם רְתֵת, נָשָׂא הוּא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיֶּאְשַׁם בַּבַּעַל, וַיָּמֹת. | 13:1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he became guilty through Baal, he died. |
| ב וְעַתָּה יוֹסִפוּ לַחֲטֹא, וַיַּעֲשׂוּ לָהֶם מַסֵּכָה מִכַּסְפָּם כִּתְבוּנָם עֲצַבִּים, מַעֲשֵׂה חָרָשִׁים, כֻּלֹּה; לָהֶם, הֵם אֹמְרִים, זֹבְחֵי אָדָם, עֲגָלִים יִשָּׁקוּן. | 2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, according to their own understanding, even idols, all of them the work of the craftsmen; of them they say: 'They that sacrifice men kiss calves.' |
| ג לָכֵן, יִהְיוּ כַּעֲנַן-בֹּקֶר, וְכַטַּל, מַשְׁכִּים הֹלֵךְ; כְּמֹץ יְסֹעֵר מִגֹּרֶן, וּכְעָשָׁן מֵאֲרֻבָּה. | 3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the wind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the window. |
| ד וְאָנֹכִי יקוק א-לקיךָ, מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם; וֵא-לקים זוּלָתִי לֹא תֵדָע, וּמוֹשִׁיעַ אַיִן בִּלְתִּי. | 4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou knowest no God but Me, and beside Me there is no saviour. |
| ה אֲנִי יְדַעְתִּיךָ, בַּמִּדְבָּר--בְּאֶרֶץ, תַּלְאֻבוֹת. | 5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. |
| ו כְּמַרְעִיתָם, וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ--שָׂבְעוּ, וַיָּרָם לִבָּם; עַל-כֵּן, שְׁכֵחוּנִי. | 6 When they were fed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me. |
| ז וָאֱהִי לָהֶם, כְּמוֹ-שָׁחַל--כְּנָמֵר, עַל-דֶּרֶךְ אָשׁוּר. | 7 Therefore am I become unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way; |
| ח אֶפְגְּשֵׁם כְּדֹב שַׁכּוּל, וְאֶקְרַע סְגוֹר לִבָּם; וְאֹכְלֵם שָׁם כְּלָבִיא, חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה תְּבַקְּעֵם. | 8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the enclosure of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them. |
| ט שִׁחֶתְךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל, כִּי-בִי בְעֶזְרֶךָ. | 9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against Me, against thy help. |
| י אֱהִי מַלְכְּךָ אֵפוֹא, וְיוֹשִׁיעֲךָ בְּכָל-עָרֶיךָ; וְשֹׁפְטֶיךָ--אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ, תְּנָה-לִּי מֶלֶךְ וְשָׂרִים. | 10 Ho, now, thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities! and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: 'Give me a king and princes!' |
| יא אֶתֶּן-לְךָ מֶלֶךְ בְּאַפִּי, וְאֶקַּח בְּעֶבְרָתִי. | 11 I give thee a king in Mine anger, and take him away in My wrath. |
| יב צָרוּר עֲון אֶפְרָיִם, צְפוּנָה חַטָּאתוֹ. | 12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store. |
| יג חֶבְלֵי יוֹלֵדָה, יָבֹאוּ לוֹ; הוּא-בֵן לֹא חָכָם, כִּי-עֵת לֹא-יַעֲמֹד בְּמִשְׁבַּר בָּנִים. | 13 The throes of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children. |
| יד מִיַּד שְׁאוֹל אֶפְדֵּם, מִמָּוֶת אֶגְאָלֵם; אֱהִי דְבָרֶיךָ מָוֶת, אֱהִי קָטָבְךָ שְׁאוֹל--נֹחַם, יִסָּתֵר מֵעֵינָי. | 14 Shall I ransom them from the power of the nether-world? Shall I redeem them from death? Ho, thy plagues, O death! Ho, thy destruction, O nether-world! Repentance be hid from Mine eyes! |
| טו כִּי הוּא, בֵּין אַחִים יַפְרִיא; יָבוֹא קָדִים רוּחַ יקוק מִמִּדְבָּר עֹלֶה, וְיֵבוֹשׁ מְקוֹרוֹ וְיֶחֱרַב מַעְיָנוֹ--הוּא יִשְׁסֶה, אוֹצַר כָּל-כְּלִי חֶמְדָּה. | 15 For though he be fruitful among the reed-plants, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up; he shall spoil the treasure of all precious vessels. |
| יד:א תֶּאְשַׁם, שֹׁמְרוֹן, כִּי מָרְתָה, בֵּא-לקיהָ; בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ--עֹלְלֵיהֶם יְרֻטָּשׁוּ, וְהָרִיּוֹתָיו יְבֻקָּעוּ. | 14:1 Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she hath rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. |
| ב שׁוּבָה, יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַד, יקוק א-לקיךָ: כִּי כָשַׁלְתָּ, בַּעֲונֶךָ. | 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 2:26-2:27
|
| ב:כו וַאֲכַלְתֶּם אָכוֹל, וְשָׂבוֹעַ, וְהִלַּלְתֶּם אֶת-שֵׁם יקוק א-לקיכֶם, אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה עִמָּכֶם לְהַפְלִיא; וְלֹא-יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי, לְעוֹלָם. | 2:26 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. |
