פרשת האזינורביעי

  1. יט
    וַיַּ֥רְא יְהֹוָ֖ה וַיִּנְאָ֑ץ מִכַּ֥עַס בָּנָ֖יו וּבְנֹתָֽיו׃        
    GOD saw and was vexed
    And spurned these sons and daughters.
  2. כ
    וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אַסְתִּ֤ירָה פָנַי֙ מֵהֶ֔ם אֶרְאֶ֖ה מָ֣ה אַחֲרִיתָ֑ם        כִּ֣י ד֤וֹר תַּהְפֻּכֹת֙ הֵ֔מָּה בָּנִ֖ים לֹא־אֵמֻ֥ן בָּֽם׃        
    [God] said:
    I will hide My countenance from them,
    And see how they fare in the end.
    For they are a treacherous breed,
    Children with no loyalty in them.
  3. כא
    הֵ֚ם קִנְא֣וּנִי בְלֹא־אֵ֔ל כִּעֲס֖וּנִי בְּהַבְלֵיהֶ֑ם        וַֽאֲנִי֙ אַקְנִיאֵ֣ם בְּלֹא־עָ֔ם בְּג֥וֹי נָבָ֖ל אַכְעִיסֵֽם׃        
    They incensed Me with no-gods,
    Vexed Me with their futilities;
    I’ll incense them with a no-folk,
    Vex them with a nation of fools.
  4. כב
    כִּי־אֵשׁ֙ קָדְחָ֣ה בְאַפִּ֔י וַתִּיקַ֖ד עַד־שְׁא֣וֹל תַּחְתִּ֑ית        וַתֹּ֤אכַל אֶ֙רֶץ֙ וִֽיבֻלָ֔הּ וַתְּלַהֵ֖ט מוֹסְדֵ֥י הָרִֽים׃        
    For a fire has flared in My wrath
    And burned to the bottom of Sheol,
    Has consumed the earth and its increase,
    Eaten down to the base of the hills.
  5. כג
    אַסְפֶּ֥ה עָלֵ֖ימוֹ רָע֑וֹת חִצַּ֖י אֲכַלֶּה־בָּֽם׃        
    I will sweep misfortunes on them,
    Use up My arrows on them:
  6. כד
    מְזֵ֥י רָעָ֛ב וּלְחֻ֥מֵי רֶ֖שֶׁף וְקֶ֣טֶב מְרִירִ֑י        וְשֶׁן־בְּהֵמֹת֙ אֲשַׁלַּח־בָּ֔ם עִם־חֲמַ֖ת זֹחֲלֵ֥י עָפָֽר׃        
    Wasting famine, ravaging plague,
    Deadly pestilence, and fanged beasts
    Will I let loose against them,
    With venomous creepers in dust.
  7. כה
    מִחוּץ֙ תְּשַׁכֶּל־חֶ֔רֶב וּמֵחֲדָרִ֖ים אֵימָ֑ה גַּם־בָּחוּר֙ גַּם־בְּתוּלָ֔ה יוֹנֵ֖ק עִם־אִ֥ישׁ שֵׂיבָֽה׃        
    The sword shall deal death without,
    As shall the terror within,
    To youth and maiden alike,
    The suckling as well as the aged.
  8. כו
    אָמַ֖רְתִּי אַפְאֵיהֶ֑ם אַשְׁבִּ֥יתָה מֵאֱנ֖וֹשׁ זִכְרָֽם׃        
    I might have reduced them to naught, uncertain.
    Made their memory cease among humankind,
  9. כז
    לוּלֵ֗י כַּ֤עַס אוֹיֵב֙ אָג֔וּר פֶּֽן־יְנַכְּר֖וּ צָרֵ֑ימוֹ        פֶּן־יֹֽאמְרוּ֙ יָדֵ֣נוּ רָ֔מָה וְלֹ֥א יְהֹוָ֖ה פָּעַ֥ל כׇּל־זֹֽאת׃        
    But for fear of the taunts of the foe,
    Their enemies who might misjudge
    And say, “Our own hand has prevailed;
    None of this was wrought by GOD!”
  10. כח
    כִּי־ג֛וֹי אֹבַ֥ד עֵצ֖וֹת הֵ֑מָּה וְאֵ֥ין בָּהֶ֖ם תְּבוּנָֽה׃        
    For they are a folk void of sense,
    Lacking in all discernment.
