1. הָעָם הַהֹלְכִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ רָאוּ אוֹר גָּדוֹל יֹשְׁבֵי בְּאֶרֶץ צַלְמָוֶת אוֹר נָגַהּ עֲלֵיהֶם ׃
1. Nevertheless H3588 the dimness H4155 shall not H3808 be such as H834 was in her vexation H4164 , when H6256 at the first H7223 he lightly afflicted H7043 the land H776 of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 , and afterward H314 did more grievously afflict H3513 her by the way H1870 of the sea H3220 , beyond H5676 Jordan H3383 , in Galilee H1551 of the nations H1471 .
2. הִרְבִּיתָ הַגּוֹי לֹא הִגְדַּלְתָּ הַשִּׂמְחָה שָׂמְחוּ לְפָנֶיךָ כְּשִׂמְחַת בַּקָּצִיר כַּאֲשֶׁר יָגִילוּ בְּחַלְּקָם שָׁלָל ׃
2. The people H5971 that walked H1980 in darkness H2822 have seen H7200 a great H1419 light H216 : they that dwell H3427 in the land H776 of the shadow of death H6757 , upon H5921 them hath the light H216 shined H5050 .
3. כִּי אֶת־עֹל סֻבֳּלוֹ וְאֵת מַטֵּה שִׁכְמוֹ שֵׁבֶט הַנֹּגֵשׂ בּוֹ הַחִתֹּתָ כְּיוֹם מִדְיָן ׃
3. Thou hast multiplied H7235 the nation H1471 , and not H3808 increased H1431 the joy H8057 : they joy H8055 before H6440 thee according to the joy H8057 in harvest H7105 , and as H834 men rejoice H1523 when they divide H2505 the spoil H7998 .
4. כִּי כָל־סְאוֹן סֹאֵן בְּרַעַשׁ וְשִׂמְלָה מְגוֹלָלָה בְדָמִים וְהָיְתָה לִשְׂרֵפָה מַאֲכֹלֶת אֵשׁ ׃
4. For H3588 thou hast broken H2865 H853 the yoke H5923 of his burden H5448 , and the staff H4294 of his shoulder H7926 , the rod H7626 of his oppressor H5065 , as in the day H3117 of Midian H4080 .
5. כִּי־יֶלֶד יֻלַּד־לָנוּ בֵּן נִתַּן־לָנוּ וַתְּהִי הַמִּשְׂרָה עַל־שִׁכְמוֹ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ פֶּלֶא יוֹעֵץ אֵל גִּבּוֹר אֲבִיעַד שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם ׃
5. For H3588 every H3605 battle H5430 of the warrior H5431 is with confused noise H7494 , and garments H8071 rolled H1556 in blood H1818 ; but this shall be H1961 with burning H8316 and fuel H3980 of fire H784 .
6. לָמֹרַבָּה הַמִּשְׂרָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם אֵין־קֵץ עַל־כִּסֵּא דָוִד וְעַל־מַמְלַכְתּוֹ לְהָכִין אֹתָהּ וּלְסַעֲדָהּ בְּמִשְׁפָּט וּבִצְדָקָה מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם קִנְאַת יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת תַּעֲשֶׂה־זֹּאת ׃ ס
6. For H3588 unto us a child H3206 is born H3205 , unto us a son H1121 is given H5414 : and the government H4951 shall be upon H5921 his shoulder H7926 : and his name H8034 shall be H1961 called H7121 Wonderful H6382 , Counselor H3289 , The mighty H1368 God H410 , The everlasting H5703 Father H1 , The Prince H8269 of Peace H7965 .
7. דָּבָר שָׁלַח אֲדֹנָי בְּיַעֲקֹב וְנָפַל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל ׃
7. Of the increase H4766 of his government H4951 and peace H7965 there shall be no H369 end H7093 , upon H5921 the throne H3678 of David H1732 , and upon H5921 his kingdom H4467 , to order H3559 it , and to establish H5582 it with judgment H4941 and with justice H6666 from henceforth H4480 H6258 even forever H5704 H5769 . The zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 will perform H6213 this H2063 .
8. וְיָדְעוּ הָעָם כֻּלּוֹ אֶפְרַיִם וְיוֹשֵׁב שֹׁמְרוֹן בְּגַאֲוָה וּבְגֹדֶל לֵבָב לֵאמֹר ׃
8. The Lord H136 sent H7971 a word H1697 into Jacob H3290 , and it hath lighted H5307 upon Israel H3478 .
9. לְבֵנִים נָפָלוּ וְגָזִית נִבְנֶה שִׁקְמִים גֻּדָּעוּ וַאֲרָזִים נַחֲלִיף ׃
9. And all H3605 the people H5971 shall know H3045 , even Ephraim H669 and the inhabitant H3427 of Samaria H8111 , that say H559 in the pride H1346 and stoutness H1433 of heart H3824 ,
10. וַיְשַׂגֵּב יְהוָה אֶת־צָרֵי רְצִין עָלָיו וְאֶת־אֹיְבָיו יְסַכְסֵךְ ׃
10. The bricks H3843 are fallen down H5307 , but we will build H1129 with hewn stones H1496 : the sycamores H8256 are cut down H1438 , but we will change H2498 them into cedars H730 .
11. אֲרָם מִקֶּדֶם וּפְלִשְׁתִּים מֵאָחוֹר וַיֹּאכְלוּ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכָל־פֶּה בְּכָל־זֹאת לֹא־שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָה ׃
11. Therefore the LORD H3068 shall set up H7682 H853 the adversaries H6862 of Rezin H7526 against H5921 him , and join his enemies together H5526 H853 H341 ;
12. וְהָעָם לֹא־שָׁב עַד־הַמַּכֵּהוּ וְאֶת־יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת לֹא דָרָשׁוּ ׃ ס
12. The Syrians H758 before H4480 H6924 , and the Philistines H6430 behind H4480 H268 ; and they shall devour H398 H853 Israel H3478 with open H3605 mouth H6310 . For all H3605 this H2063 his anger H639 is not H3808 turned away H7725 , but his hand H3027 is stretched out H5186 still H5750 .
13. וַיַּכְרֵת יְהוָה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל רֹאשׁ וְזָנָב כִּפָּה וְאַגְמוֹן יוֹם אֶחָד ׃
13. For the people H5971 turneth H7725 not H3808 unto H5704 him that smiteth H5221 them, neither H3808 do they seek H1875 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
14. זָקֵן וּנְשׂוּא־פָנִים הוּא הָרֹאשׁ וְנָבִיא מוֹרֶה־שֶּׁקֶר הוּא הַזָּנָב ׃
14. Therefore the LORD H3068 will cut off H3772 from Israel H4480 H3478 head H7218 and tail H2180 , branch H3712 and rush H100 , in one H259 day H3117 .
15. וַיִּהְיוּ מְאַשְּׁרֵי הָעָם־הַזֶּה מַתְעִים וּמְאֻשָּׁרָיו מְבֻלָּעִים ׃
15. The ancient H2205 and honorable H5375 H6440 , he H1931 is the head H7218 ; and the prophet H5030 that teacheth H3384 lies H8267 , he H1931 is the tail H2180 .
16. עַל־כֵּן עַל־בַּחוּרָיו לֹא־יִשְׂמַח אֲדֹנָי וְאֶת־יְתֹמָיו וְאֶת־אַלְמְנֹתָיו לֹא יְרַחֵם כִּי כֻלּוֹ חָנֵף וּמֵרַע וְכָל־פֶּה דֹּבֵר נְבָלָה בְּכָל־זֹאת לֹא־שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָה ׃
16. For the leaders H833 of this H2088 people H5971 cause them to err H8582 ; and they that are led H833 of them are destroyed H1104 .
17. כִּי־בָעֲרָה כָאֵשׁ רִשְׁעָה שָׁמִיר וָשַׁיִת תֹּאכֵל וַתִּצַּת בְּסִבְכֵי הַיַּעַר וַיִּתְאַבְּכוּ גֵּאוּת עָשָׁן ׃
17. Therefore H5921 H3651 the Lord H136 shall have no H3808 joy H8055 in H5921 their young men H970 , neither H3808 shall have mercy H7355 on their fatherless H3490 and widows H490 : for H3588 every one H3605 is a hypocrite H2611 and an evildoer H7489 , and every H3605 mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 folly H5039 . For all H3605 this H2063 his anger H639 is not H3808 turned away H7725 , but his hand H3027 is stretched out H5186 still H5750 .
18. בְּעֶבְרַת יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת נֶעְתַּם אָרֶץ וַיְהִי הָעָם כְּמַאֲכֹלֶת אֵשׁ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו לֹא יַחְמֹלוּ ׃
18. For H3588 wickedness H7564 burneth H1197 as the fire H784 : it shall devour H398 the briers H8068 and thorns H7898 , and shall kindle H3341 in the thickets H5442 of the forest H3293 , and they shall mount up H55 like the lifting up H1348 of smoke H6227 .
19. וַיִּגְזֹר עַל־יָמִין וְרָעֵב וַיֹּאכַל עַל־שְׂמֹאול וְלֹא שָׂבֵעוּ אִישׁ בְּשַׂר־זְרֹעוֹ יֹאכֵלוּ ׃
19. Through the wrath H5678 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is the land H776 darkened H6272 , and the people H5971 shall be H1961 as the fuel H3980 of the fire H784 : no H3808 man H376 shall spare H2550 H413 his brother H251 .
20. מְנַשֶּׁה אֶת־אֶפְרַיִם וְאֶפְרַיִם אֶת־מְנַשֶּׁה יַחְדָּו הֵמָּה עַל־יְהוּדָה בְּכָל־זֹאת לֹא־שָׁב אַפּוֹ וְעוֹד יָדוֹ נְטוּיָה ׃ ס
20. And he shall snatch H1504 on H5921 the right hand H3225 , and be hungry H7456 ; and he shall eat H398 on H5921 the left hand H8040 , and they shall not H3808 be satisfied H7646 : they shall eat H398 every man H376 the flesh H1320 of his own arm H2220 :
