Yeshayah 50 — Hebrew–OJB Interlinear

כֹּ֣ה׀ This is what אָמַ֣ר SDBH says יְהוָ֗ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אֵ֣י SDBH Where זֶ֠ה SDBH . . . סֵ֣פֶר SDBH certificate כְּרִית֤וּת SDBH of divorce אִמְּכֶם֙ SDBH is your mother’s אֲשֶׁ֣ר SDBH with which שִׁלַּחְתִּ֔יהָ SDBH I sent her away א֚וֹ SDBH Or מִ֣י SDBH to which מִנּוֹשַׁ֔י SDBH of My creditors אֲשֶׁר־ SDBH - מָכַ֥רְתִּי SDBH did I sell you אֶתְכֶ֖ם SDBH - ל֑וֹ הֵ֤ן Look בַּעֲוֺנֹֽתֵיכֶם֙ SDBH for your iniquities נִמְכַּרְתֶּ֔ם SDBH you were sold וּבְפִשְׁעֵיכֶ֖ם SDBH and for your transgressions שֻׁלְּחָ֥ה SDBH was sent away אִמְּכֶֽם׃ SDBH your mother

Thus saith Hashem, Where is the Sefer Keritut (Bill of Divorce) by which I sent your Em (Mother) away? Or which Nosheh (Creditor) of Mine is it to whom I have sold you [into slavery]? Behold, for your avonot (iniquities) have ye been sold, and for your peysha'im (rebellions) was your Em sent away.

מַדּ֨וּעַ SDBH Why בָּ֜אתִי SDBH when I arrived וְאֵ֣ין SDBH was no אִ֗ישׁ SDBH one there קָרָֽאתִי֮ SDBH when I called וְאֵ֣ין SDBH Why did no one עוֹנֶה֒ SDBH answer הֲקָצ֨וֹר SDBH too short קָצְרָ֤ה SDBH . . . יָדִי֙ SDBH Is My hand מִפְּד֔וּת SDBH to redeem you וְאִם־ SDBH Or אֵֽין־ SDBH do I lack בִּ֥י כֹ֖חַ SDBH the strength לְהַצִּ֑יל SDBH to deliver you הֵ֣ן Behold בְּגַעֲרָתִ֞י SDBH My rebuke אַחֲרִ֣יב SDBH dries up יָ֗ם SDBH the sea אָשִׂ֤ים SDBH into נְהָרוֹת֙ SDBH I turn the rivers מִדְבָּ֔ר SDBH a desert תִּבְאַ֤שׁ SDBH rot דְּגָתָם֙ SDBH the fish מֵאֵ֣ין SDBH for lack מַ֔יִם SDBH of water וְתָמֹ֖ת SDBH and die בַּצָּמָֽא׃ SDBH of thirst

Why, when I came, was there no ish (man [at all] to respond)? When I called, was there none to answer? Is My Yad too short, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no ko'ach (power) to save? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the yam (sea), I make the neharot (rivers) a midbar (desert); their dag (fish) stink, because there is no mayim, and die of tzama (thirst).

3

אַלְבִּ֥ישׁ SDBH I clothe שָׁמַ֖יִם SDBH the heavens קַדְר֑וּת SDBH in black וְשַׂ֖ק SDBH sackcloth אָשִׂ֥ים SDBH and make כְּסוּתָֽם׃ס SDBH their covering

I clothe Shomayim with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

אֲדֹנָ֣י SDBH The Lord יְהֹוִ֗ה SDBH G-D נָ֤תַן has given לִי֙ Me לְשׁ֣וֹן SDBH the tongue לִמּוּדִ֔ים SDBH of discipleship לָדַ֛עַת SDBH vvv לָע֥וּת SDBH to sustain אֶת־ SDBH - יָעֵ֖ף SDBH the weary דָּבָ֑ר SDBH with a word יָעִ֣יר׀ SDBH He awakens Me בַּבֹּ֣קֶר SDBH morning בַּבֹּ֗קֶר SDBH by morning יָעִ֥יר SDBH He awakens לִי֙ My אֹ֔זֶן SDBH ear לִשְׁמֹ֖עַ SDBH to listen כַּלִּמּוּדִֽים׃ SDBH as a disciple

Adonoi Hashem hath given Me [MOSHIACH; SEE 2SM.7:5; ZECH.3:8 AND ISA 52:13] the leshon limmudim (learned tongue of disciples; see 8:16), that I should know how to speak a devar (word, i.e., word of consolation) in season to him that is weary; He wakeneth baboker baboker (morning by morning), He wakeneth Mine ozen (ear) to hear as the limmudim (disciples, those being taught).

5

אֲדֹנָ֤י SDBH The Lord יְהוִה֙ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi פָּתַֽח־ SDBH has opened לִ֣י My אֹ֔זֶן SDBH ears וְאָנֹכִ֖י SDBH and I לֹ֣א SDBH have not been מָרִ֑יתִי SDBH rebellious אָח֖וֹר SDBH back לֹ֥א SDBH nor have I נְסוּגֹֽתִי׃ SDBH turned

Adonoi Hashem hath opened Mine ozen (ear), and I was not rebellious, neither did I turn back [cf. Gn 3:8].

6

גֵּוִי֙ SDBH My back נָתַ֣תִּי I offered לְמַכִּ֔ים SDBH to those who struck Me וּלְחָיַ֖י SDBH and My cheeks לְמֹֽרְטִ֑ים SDBH to those who tore out My beard פָּנַי֙ My face לֹ֣א SDBH I did not הִסְתַּ֔רְתִּי SDBH hide מִכְּלִמּ֖וֹת SDBH from scorn וָרֹֽק׃ SDBH and spittle

I [Moshiach] offered My gev (back) to them that deliver blows, and My lekhi (cheeks) to them that pulled out [the beard]: I hid not My face from kelimot (humiliations, shame) and rok (spitting, saliva).

7

וַאדֹנָ֤י SDBH Because the Lord יְהוִה֙ SDBH G-D יַֽעֲזָר־ SDBH helps לִ֔י Me עַל־ - כֵּ֖ן SDBH - לֹ֣א SDBH I have not נִכְלָ֑מְתִּי SDBH been disgraced עַל־ therefore כֵּ֞ן SDBH . . . שַׂ֤מְתִּי SDBH I have set פָנַי֙ My face כַּֽחַלָּמִ֔ישׁ SDBH like flint וָאֵדַ֖ע SDBH and I know כִּי־ that לֹ֥א SDBH I will not אֵבֽוֹשׁ׃ SDBH be put to shame

For Adonoi Hashem will help Me [Moshiach]; therefore shall I not be disgraced; therefore have I set My face [as hard] as khalamish (flint [See OJBC Lk 9:51]), and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

8

קָרוֹב֙ SDBH is near מַצְדִּיקִ֔י SDBH The One who vindicates Me מִֽי־ SDBH Who יָרִ֥יב SDBH will dare to contend אִתִּ֖י SDBH with Me נַ֣עַמְדָה SDBH Let us confront יָּ֑חַד SDBH each other מִֽי־ SDBH Who בַ֥עַל SDBH . . . מִשְׁפָּטִ֖י SDBH has a case against Me יִגַּ֥שׁ SDBH Let him approach אֵלָֽי׃ Me

He that vindicateth [i.e., maintains My Righteousness] is karov (near), who will contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is Mine Ba'al Mishpat (Adversary in court, the one bringing charges)? Let him draw near to [confront] Me [in court].

9

הֵ֣ן Surely אֲדֹנָ֤י SDBH the Lord יְהוִה֙ SDBH G-D יַֽעֲזָר־ SDBH helps לִ֔י Me מִי־ SDBH Who ה֖וּא SDBH is there יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑נִי SDBH to condemn Me הֵ֤ן See כֻּלָּם֙ they will all כַּבֶּ֣גֶד SDBH like a garment יִבְל֔וּ SDBH wear out עָ֖שׁ SDBH the moths יֹאכְלֵֽם׃ SDBH will devour them

See, Adonoi Hashem will help Me [Moshiach]. Who is he that shall condemn Me? See, they all shall wear out like a beged (garment); the ahsh (moth) shall eat them.

10

מִ֤י SDBH Who בָכֶם֙ among you יְרֵ֣א SDBH fears יְהוָ֔ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi שֹׁמֵ֖עַ SDBH [and] obeys בְּק֣וֹל SDBH the voice עַבְדּ֑וֹ SDBH of His Servant אֲשֶׁ֣ר׀ SDBH Who הָלַ֣ךְ SDBH among you walks חֲשֵׁכִ֗ים SDBH in darkness וְאֵ֥ין SDBH and has no נֹ֙גַהּ֙ SDBH light ל֔וֹ יִבְטַח֙ SDBH Let him trust בְּשֵׁ֣ם SDBH in the name יְהוָ֔ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וְיִשָּׁעֵ֖ן SDBH let him lean בֵּאלֹהָֽיו׃ SDBH on his G-d

Who among you that feareth Hashem, that obeyeth the voice of His Eved [Moshiach], though he may have walked in chashekhim (darknesses), with no gleam of light for himself, let him trust B'Shem Hashem, and lean upon Elohav.

11

הֵ֧ן Behold כֻּלְּכֶ֛ם all קֹ֥דְחֵי SDBH you who kindle אֵ֖שׁ SDBH a fire מְאַזְּרֵ֣י SDBH who array yourselves זִיק֑וֹת SDBH with firebrands לְכ֣וּ׀ SDBH walk בְּא֣וּר SDBH in the light אֶשְׁכֶ֗ם SDBH of your fire וּבְזִיקוֹת֙ SDBH and of the firebrands בִּֽעַרְתֶּ֔ם SDBH you have lit מִיָּדִי֙ SDBH from My hand הָיְתָה־ will receive זֹּ֣את SDBH This is what לָכֶ֔ם you לְמַעֲצֵבָ֖ה SDBH in a place of torment תִּשְׁכָּבֽוּן׃פ SDBH You will lie down

See, all ye that kindle an eish (fire), ye that prepare for battle with zikot (flashing firebrands), walk in the light of the fire of your [own making] and among the zikot (flashing firebrands) that ye have set burning, and this shall ye have from My Yad; ye shall lie down in ma'atze'vah (torment, pain, grieving [See Isa 66:24; Dan 12:2; Ps 75:8]).
