1

כֹּה־ This is what אָמַ֣ר SDBH says יְהוָה֮ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi לִמְשִׁיחוֹ֮ SDBH His anointed לְכ֣וֹרֶשׁ SDBH to Cyrus אֲשֶׁר־ SDBH - הֶחֱזַ֣קְתִּי SDBH I have grasped בִֽימִינ֗וֹ SDBH whose right hand לְרַד־ SDBH to subdue לְפָנָיו֙ before him גּוֹיִ֔ם SDBH nations וּמָתְנֵ֥י SDBH . . . מְלָכִ֖ים SDBH kings אֲפַתֵּ֑חַ SDBH to disarm לִפְתֹּ֤חַ SDBH to open לְפָנָיו֙ before him דְּלָתַ֔יִם SDBH the doors וּשְׁעָרִ֖ים SDBH so that the gates לֹ֥א SDBH will not יִסָּגֵֽרוּ׃ SDBH be shut

Thus saith Hashem to His Moshiach, to Koresh (Cyrus), whose yamin (right hand) I have taken hold of, to subdue Goyim before him; and the loins of melachim I ungird, to open before him the double doors and the she'arim (gates), that they may not continue shut;

2

אֲנִי֙ SDBH I לְפָנֶ֣יךָ before you אֵלֵ֔ךְ SDBH will go וַהֲדוּרִ֖ים SDBH the mountains אוֹשִׁר SDBH and level דַּלְת֤וֹת SDBH the gates נְחוּשָׁה֙ SDBH of bronze אֲשַׁבֵּ֔ר SDBH I will break down וּבְרִיחֵ֥י SDBH the bars בַרְזֶ֖ל SDBH of iron אֲגַדֵּֽעַ׃ SDBH and cut through

I will go before thee, and make straight the crooked paths; I will break down the delatot nechoshet, and cut through their barzel (iron) bars;

3

וְנָתַתִּ֤י I will give לְךָ֙ you אוֹצְר֣וֹת SDBH the treasures חֹ֔שֶׁךְ SDBH of darkness וּמַטְמֻנֵ֖י SDBH and the riches hidden מִסְתָּרִ֑ים SDBH in secret places לְמַ֣עַן so that תֵּדַ֗ע SDBH you may know כִּֽי־ that אֲנִ֧י SDBH I [am] יְהוָ֛ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi הַקּוֹרֵ֥א SDBH who calls בְשִׁמְךָ֖ SDBH you by name אֱלֹהֵ֥י SDBH the G-d יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ SDBH of Israel

And I will give thee the otzarot choshech, and hidden riches of mistarim (secret places) that thou mayest know that I, Hashem, Who call thee by thy shem (name), am Elohei Yisroel.

4

לְמַ֙עַן֙ For the sake עַבְדִּ֣י SDBH My servant יַעֲקֹ֔ב SDBH of Jacob וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל SDBH and Israel בְּחִירִ֑י SDBH My chosen one וָאֶקְרָ֤א SDBH I call לְךָ֙ you בִּשְׁמֶ֔ךָ SDBH by name אֲכַנְּךָ֖ SDBH I have given you a title of honor וְלֹ֥א SDBH though you have not יְדַעְתָּֽנִי׃ SDBH known Me

For the sake of avdi Ya'akov, and Yisroel My Bachir, I have even called thee by thy shem (name); I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.

5

אֲנִ֤י SDBH I יְהוָה֙ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וְאֵ֣ין SDBH and there is no ע֔וֹד other זוּלָתִ֖י SDBH but Me אֵ֣ין SDBH there is no אֱלֹהִ֑ים SDBH G-d אֲאַזֶּרְךָ֖ SDBH I will equip you for battle וְלֹ֥א SDBH though you have not יְדַעְתָּֽנִי׃ SDBH known Me

I am Hashem, and there is none other, there is no Elohim besides Me; I equipped thee, though thou hast not known Me;

6

לְמַ֣עַן so that יֵדְע֗וּ SDBH all may know מִמִּזְרַח־ SDBH from where the sun rises שֶׁ֙מֶשׁ֙ SDBH . . . וּמִמַּ֣עֲרָבָ֔הּ SDBH to where it sets כִּי־ that אֶ֖פֶס SDBH there is none בִּלְעָדָ֑י SDBH but Me אֲנִ֥י SDBH I יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וְאֵ֥ין SDBH and there is no עֽוֹד׃ other

That they may know from the rising of the shemesh, even to the ma'arav (west, setting place of the sun), that there is none apart from Me. I am Hashem, and there is no other [Elohim].

7

יוֹצֵ֥ר SDBH I form אוֹר֙ SDBH the light וּבוֹרֵ֣א SDBH and create חֹ֔שֶׁךְ SDBH the darkness עֹשֶׂ֥ה SDBH I bring שָׁל֖וֹם SDBH prosperity וּב֣וֹרֵא SDBH and create רָ֑ע SDBH calamity אֲנִ֥י SDBH I יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi עֹשֶׂ֥ה SDBH do כָל־ all אֵֽלֶּה׃ס SDBH these things

I form ohr, and create choshech; I make shalom, and create rah; I Hashem worketh all these things.

8

הַרְעִ֤יפוּ SDBH Drip down שָׁמַ֙יִם֙ SDBH O heavens מִמַּ֔עַל SDBH from above וּשְׁחָקִ֖ים SDBH and let the skies יִזְּלוּ־ SDBH pour down צֶ֑דֶק SDBH righteousness תִּפְתַּח־ SDBH open up אֶ֣רֶץ SDBH Let the earth וְיִפְרוּ־ SDBH may sprout יֶ֗שַׁע SDBH that salvation וּצְדָקָ֤ה SDBH and righteousness תַצְמִ֙יחַ֙ SDBH spring up יַ֔חַד SDBH with it אֲנִ֥י SDBH I יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi בְּרָאתִֽיו׃ס SDBH have created it

Cause [the rain] to trickle down, ye Shomayim, from above, and let the blue sky pour down tzedek; let eretz open, and let Yesha (salvation) blossom, and let tzedakah (righteousness) tatzmiach (spring up; Tzemach) together; I Hashem have created it.

9

ה֗וֹי SDBH Woe רָ֚ב SDBH to him who quarrels אֶת־ SDBH - יֹ֣צְר֔וֹ SDBH with his Maker חֶ֖רֶשׂ SDBH one clay pot אֶת־ SDBH . . . חַרְשֵׂ֣י SDBH among many אֲדָמָ֑ה SDBH . . . הֲיֹאמַ֨ר SDBH ask חֹ֤מֶר SDBH Does the clay לְיֹֽצְרוֹ֙ SDBH the potter מַֽה־ SDBH What תַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה SDBH are you making וּפָעָלְךָ֖ SDBH Does your work say אֵין־ SDBH He has no יָדַ֥יִם SDBH hands לֽוֹ׃ס

Woe unto him that quarreleth with his Yotzer-a potsherd among the potsherds of adamah. Shall the chomer (clay) say to the Yotzer of it, What art Thou making? Or Thy po'al (work) hath no handles?

10

ה֛וֹי SDBH Woe אֹמֵ֥ר SDBH to him who says לְאָ֖ב SDBH to his father מַה־ SDBH What תּוֹלִ֑יד SDBH have you begotten וּלְאִשָּׁ֖ה SDBH or to his mother מַה־ SDBH What תְּחִילִֽין׃ס SDBH have you brought forth

Woe unto him that saith unto his Av, What begettest thou? Or to the isha, What hast thou given birth to?

11

כֹּֽה־ Thus אָמַ֧ר SDBH says יְהוָ֛ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi קְד֥וֹשׁ SDBH the Holy יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל SDBH One of Israel וְיֹצְר֑וֹ SDBH and its Maker הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת SDBH Concerning things to come שְׁאָל֔וּנִי SDBH do you question Me עַל־ about בָּנַ֛י SDBH My sons וְעַל־ in פֹּ֥עַל SDBH the work יָדַ֖י SDBH of My hands תְּצַוֻּֽנִי׃ SDBH or instruct Me

Thus saith Hashem, Kadosh Yisroel, and its Yotzer, Will ye ask Me of otiyyot (things to come, future things) concerning My banim, and will ye command Me regarding the po'al of My hands?

12

אָֽנֹכִי֙ SDBH It is I עָשִׂ֣יתִי SDBH who made אֶ֔רֶץ SDBH the earth וְאָדָ֖ם SDBH man עָלֶ֣יהָ upon it בָרָ֑אתִי SDBH and created אֲנִ֗י SDBH . . . יָדַי֙ SDBH It was My hands נָט֣וּ SDBH that stretched out שָׁמַ֔יִם SDBH the heavens וְכָל־ all צְבָאָ֖ם SDBH their host צִוֵּֽיתִי׃ SDBH and I ordained

I made Eretz, and I created adam upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out Shomayim, and all their tzeva have I commanded.

13

אָנֹכִי֙ SDBH I הַעִירֹתִ֣הֽוּ SDBH will raise up [Cyrus] בְצֶ֔דֶק SDBH in righteousness וְכָל־ all דְּרָכָ֖יו SDBH his ways [straight] אֲיַשֵּׁ֑ר SDBH and I will make הֽוּא־ SDBH He יִבְנֶ֤ה SDBH will rebuild עִירִי֙ SDBH My city וְגָלוּתִ֣י SDBH and set My exiles יְשַׁלֵּ֔חַ SDBH free לֹ֤א SDBH but not בִמְחִיר֙ SDBH for payment וְלֹ֣א SDBH [or] בְשֹׁ֔חַד SDBH reward אָמַ֖ר SDBH says יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָאֽוֹת׃פ SDBH of Hosts

I have aroused him [Cyrus] in tzedek, and I will make straight all the darkhei of him; he shall rebuild my city, and he shall release of the Golus of Mine, not for price nor reward, saith Hashem Tzva'os.

14

כֹּ֣ה׀ This is what אָמַ֣ר SDBH says יְהוָ֗ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi יְגִ֨יעַ SDBH The products מִצְרַ֥יִם SDBH of Egypt וּֽסְחַר־ SDBH and the merchandise כּוּשׁ֮ SDBH of Cush וּסְבָאִים֮ SDBH along with the Sabeans אַנְשֵׁ֣י SDBH men מִדָּה֒ SDBH of stature עָלַ֤יִךְ to you יַעֲבֹ֙רוּ֙ SDBH will come over וְלָ֣ךְ yours יִֽהְי֔וּ and will be אַחֲרַ֣יִךְ SDBH they will trudge behind יֵלֵ֔כוּ SDBH you בַּזִּקִּ֖ים SDBH in chains יַעֲבֹ֑רוּ SDBH they will come over וְאֵלַ֤יִךְ to you יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ֙ SDBH and bow down אֵלַ֣יִךְ to you יִתְפַּלָּ֔לוּ SDBH They will confess אַ֣ךְ SDBH is indeed בָּ֥ךְ with you אֵ֛ל SDBH G-d וְאֵ֥ין SDBH and there is no ע֖וֹד other אֶ֥פֶס SDBH there is no אֱלֹהִֽים׃ SDBH other G-d

Thus saith Hashem, The toil of Mitzrayim, and merchandise of Kush and of the Seva'im (Sabeans, those from Seba in Arabia), men of tall stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall cast themselves down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely El (G-d) is with thee; and there is none other, no other Elohim.

15

אָכֵ֕ן SDBH Truly אַתָּ֖ה SDBH You אֵ֣ל SDBH are a G-d מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר SDBH who hides Himself אֱלֹהֵ֥י SDBH O G-d יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל SDBH of Israel מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ SDBH the Savior

Verily Thou art El (G-d) that hidest Thyself, O Elohei Yisroel, Moshi'a.

16

בּ֥וֹשׁוּ SDBH be put to shame וְגַֽם־ SDBH and נִכְלְמ֖וּ SDBH humiliated כֻּלָּ֑ם They will all יַחְדָּו֙ SDBH together הָלְכ֣וּ SDBH will depart בַכְּלִמָּ֔ה SDBH in disgrace חָרָשֵׁ֖י SDBH the makers צִירִֽים׃ SDBH of idols

They shall be put to shame, and also confounded, all of them; they shall go to confusion together that are charashei tzirim (crafters of images, idols).

17

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ SDBH [But] Israel נוֹשַׁ֣ע SDBH will be saved בַּיהוָ֔ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi תְּשׁוּעַ֖ת SDBH salvation עוֹלָמִ֑ים SDBH with an everlasting לֹא־ SDBH you will not תֵבֹ֥שׁוּ SDBH be put to shame וְלֹא־ SDBH . . . תִכָּלְמ֖וּ SDBH or humiliated עַד־ SDBH to ע֥וֹלְמֵי SDBH ages עַֽד׃פ SDBH everlasting

But Yisroel shall be saved in Hashem with a Teshuat Olamim (an everlasting salvation); ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded ad olemei ad (for all eternity).

18

כִּ֣י For כֹ֣ה thus אָֽמַר־ SDBH says יְ֠הוָה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi בּוֹרֵ֨א SDBH who created הַשָּׁמַ֜יִם SDBH the heavens ה֣וּא SDBH He הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים SDBH [is] G-d יֹצֵ֨ר SDBH He formed הָאָ֤רֶץ SDBH the earth וְעֹשָׂהּ֙ SDBH and fashioned it ה֣וּא SDBH He כֽוֹנְנָ֔הּ SDBH established it לֹא־ SDBH He did not תֹ֥הוּ SDBH it to be empty בְרָאָ֖הּ SDBH create לָשֶׁ֣בֶת SDBH it to be inhabited יְצָרָ֑הּ SDBH but formed אֲנִ֥י SDBH I יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וְאֵ֥ין SDBH and there is no עֽוֹד׃ other

For thus saith Hashem Borei HaShomayim hu HaElohim Yotzer ha'aretz and its Maker; He hath established it, He created it not tohu (chaos), He formed it to be inhabited; I am Hashem; and there is no other [G-d].

19

לֹ֧א SDBH I have not בַסֵּ֣תֶר SDBH in secret דִּבַּ֗רְתִּי SDBH spoken בִּמְקוֹם֙ SDBH from a place אֶ֣רֶץ SDBH in a land חֹ֔שֶׁךְ SDBH of darkness לֹ֥א SDBH I did not אָמַ֛רְתִּי SDBH say לְזֶ֥רַע SDBH to the descendants יַעֲקֹ֖ב SDBH of Jacob תֹּ֣הוּ SDBH in a wasteland בַקְּשׁ֑וּנִי SDBH Seek Me אֲנִ֤י SDBH I יְהוָה֙ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi דֹּבֵ֣ר SDBH speak צֶ֔דֶק SDBH the truth מַגִּ֖יד SDBH I say מֵישָׁרִֽים׃ SDBH what is right

I have not spoken baseter (in secret), in a makom eretz choshech; I said not unto the zera Ya'akov, Seek ye Me tohu (in chaos); I am Hashem, the One speaking tzedek, proclaiming meisharim (upright things).

20

הִקָּבְצ֥וּ SDBH gather together וָבֹ֛אוּ SDBH Come הִֽתְנַגְּשׁ֥וּ SDBH and draw near יַחְדָּ֖ו SDBH . . . פְּלִיטֵ֣י SDBH you fugitives הַגּוֹיִ֑ם SDBH from the nations לֹ֣א SDBH vvv יָדְע֗וּ SDBH Ignorant [are] הַנֹּֽשְׂאִים֙ SDBH those who carry אֶת־ SDBH - עֵ֣ץ SDBH of wood פִּסְלָ֔ם SDBH idols וּמִתְפַּלְלִ֔ים SDBH and pray אֶל־ to אֵ֖ל SDBH a g-d לֹ֥א SDBH that cannot יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ SDBH save

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are fugitives escaped of the Goyim; they have no da'as (knowledge, rationality) that burden themselves with their etz pesel (wooden idol), the ones davening to an el lo yoshia (g-d who cannot save).

21

Declare ye, and approach; yes, let them take counsel together. Who hath made this known from mikedem (from olden time)? Who hath preached it from long ago? Have not I, Hashem? And there is no other Elohim besides Me: El Tzaddik and Moshi'a; there is none besides Me.

22

פְּנוּ־ SDBH Turn אֵלַ֥י to Me וְהִוָּשְׁע֖וּ SDBH and be saved כָּל־ all אַפְסֵי־ SDBH the ends אָ֑רֶץ SDBH of the earth כִּ֥י for אֲנִי־ SDBH I [am] אֵ֖ל SDBH G-d וְאֵ֥ין SDBH and there is no עֽוֹד׃ other

Turn unto Me, and be ye saved, kol afsei Eretz (all the ends of the Earth); I am El (G-d), and there is no other [G-d].

23

בִּ֣י By Myself נִשְׁבַּ֔עְתִּי SDBH I have sworn יָצָ֨א SDBH has gone out מִפִּ֧י SDBH from My mouth צְדָקָ֛ה SDBH truth דָּבָ֖ר SDBH a word וְלֹ֣א SDBH that will not יָשׁ֑וּב SDBH be revoked כִּי־ . . . לִי֙ before Me תִּכְרַ֣ע SDBH will bow כָּל־ Every בֶּ֔רֶךְ SDBH knee תִּשָּׁבַ֖ע SDBH will swear [allegiance] כָּל־ every לָשֽׁוֹן׃ SDBH tongue

I have sworn by Myself, the Word has gone out of My mouth of tzedakah (righteousness), and shall not yashuv (return, be revoked), that unto Me kol berekh (every knee) shall bow, kol lashon (every tongue) shall swear.

24

אַ֧ךְ SDBH Surely בַּיהוָ֛ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi לִ֥י alone אָמַ֖ר SDBH they will say of Me צְדָק֣וֹת SDBH [are] righteousness וָעֹ֑ז SDBH and strength עָדָיו֙ SDBH to Him יָב֣וֹא SDBH will come וְיֵבֹ֔שׁוּ SDBH and be put to shame כֹּ֖ל All הַנֶּחֱרִ֥ים SDBH who rage בּֽוֹ׃ against Him

Only in Hashem, it shall be said of Me, is tzedakot and oz; even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed.

25

בַּיהוָ֛ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi יִצְדְּק֥וּ SDBH will be justified וְיִֽתְהַלְל֖וּ SDBH and will exult כָּל־ all זֶ֥רַע SDBH descendants יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ SDBH of Israel

Kol zera Yisroel shall yitzdeku (be justified, become righteous) and shall glory in Hashem.
