1 Behold my servant whom I uphold, mine elect [in whom] my soul delighteth! I will put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.

1 הֵ֤ן עַבְדִּי֙ אֶתְמָךְ־בֹּ֔ו בְּחִירִ֖י רָצְתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י נָתַ֤תִּי רוּחִי֙ עָלָ֔יו מִשְׁפָּ֖ט לַגֹּויִ֥ם יֹוצִֽיא׃

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

2 לֹ֥א יִצְעַ֖ק וְלֹ֣א יִשָּׂ֑א וְלֹֽא־יַשְׁמִ֥יעַ בַּח֖וּץ קֹולֹֽו׃

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment according to truth.

3 קָנֶ֤ה רָצוּץ֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁבֹּ֔ור וּפִשְׁתָּ֥ה כֵהָ֖ה לֹ֣א יְכַבֶּ֑נָּה לֶאֱמֶ֖ת יֹוצִ֥יא מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

4 He shall not faint nor be in haste, till he have set justice in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

4 לֹ֤א יִכְהֶה֙ וְלֹ֣א יָר֔וּץ עַד־יָשִׂ֥ים בָּאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּלְתֹורָתֹ֖ו אִיִּ֥ים יְיַחֵֽילוּ׃

5 Thus saith ùGod, Jehovah, he that created the heavens and stretched them out, he that spread forth the earth and its productions, he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

5 כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר הָאֵ֣ל׀ יְהוָ֗ה בֹּורֵ֤א הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְנֹ֣וטֵיהֶ֔ם רֹקַ֥ע הָאָ֖רֶץ וְצֶאֱצָאֶ֑יהָ נֹתֵ֤ן נְשָׁמָה֙ לָעָ֣ם עָלֶ֔יהָ וְר֖וּחַ לַהֹלְכִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will take hold of thy hand; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations,

6 אֲנִ֧י יְהוָ֛ה קְרָאתִ֥יךָֽ בְצֶ֖דֶק וְאַחְזֵ֣ק בְּיָדֶ֑ךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ֗ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ֛ לִבְרִ֥ית עָ֖ם לְאֹ֥ור גֹּויִֽם׃

7 to open the blind eyes, to bring forth the prisoner from the prison, them that sit in darkness out of the house of restraint.

7 לִפְקֹ֖חַ עֵינַ֣יִם עִוְרֹ֑ות לְהֹוצִ֤יא מִמַּסְגֵּר֙ אַסִּ֔יר מִבֵּ֥ית כֶּ֖לֶא יֹ֥שְׁבֵי חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃

8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

8 אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה ה֣וּא שְׁמִ֑י וּכְבֹודִי֙ לְאַחֵ֣ר לֹֽא־אֶתֵּ֔ן וּתְהִלָּתִ֖י לַפְּסִילִֽים׃

9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth will I cause you to hear them.

9 הָרִֽאשֹׁנֹ֖ות הִנֵּה־בָ֑אוּ וַֽחֲדָשֹׁות֙ אֲנִ֣י מַגִּ֔יד בְּטֶ֥רֶם תִּצְמַ֖חְנָה אַשְׁמִ֥יע¹ אֶתְכֶֽם׃

10 Sing unto Jehovah a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles and their inhabitants.

10 שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֔שׁ תְּהִלָּתֹ֖ו מִקְצֵ֣ה הָאָ֑רֶץ יֹורְדֵ֤י הַיָּם֙ וּמְלֹאֹ֔ו אִיִּ֖ים וְיֹשְׁבֵיהֶֽם׃

11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains:

11 יִשְׂא֤וּ מִדְבָּר֙ וְעָרָ֔יו חֲצֵרִ֖ים תֵּשֵׁ֣ב קֵדָ֑ר יָרֹ֙נּוּ֙ יֹ֣שְׁבֵי סֶ֔לַע מֵרֹ֥אשׁ הָרִ֖ים יִצְוָֽחוּ׃

12 let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.

12 יָשִׂ֥ימוּ לַֽיהוָ֖ה כָּבֹ֑וד וּתְהִלָּתֹ֖ו בָּאִיִּ֥ים יַגִּֽידוּ׃

13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout; he will shew himself mighty against his enemies.

13 יְהוָה֙ כַּגִּבֹּ֣ור יֵצֵ֔א כְּאִ֥ישׁ מִלְחָמֹ֖ות יָעִ֣יר קִנְאָ֑ה יָרִ֙יעַ֙ אַף־יַצְרִ֔יחַ עַל־אֹיְבָ֖יו יִתְגַּבָּֽר׃

14 Long time have I holden my peace; I have been still, I have restrained myself: I will cry like a woman that travaileth; I will blow and pant at once.

14 הֶחֱשֵׁ֙יתִי֙ מֵֽעֹולָ֔ם אַחֲרִ֖ישׁ אֶתְאַפָּ֑ק כַּיֹּולֵדָ֣ה אֶפְעֶ֔ה אֶשֹּׁ֥ם וְאֶשְׁאַ֖ף יָֽחַד׃

15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

15 אַחֲרִ֤יב הָרִים֙ וּגְבָעֹ֔ות וְכָל־עֶשְׂבָּ֖ם אֹובִ֑ישׁ וְשַׂמְתִּ֤י נְהָרֹות֙ לָֽאִיִּ֔ים וַאֲגַמִּ֖ים אֹובִֽישׁ׃

16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not, in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

16 וְהֹולַכְתִּ֣י עִוְרִ֗ים בְּדֶ֙רֶךְ֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ בִּנְתִיבֹ֥ות לֹֽא־יָדְע֖וּ אַדְרִיכֵ֑ם אָשִׂים֩ מַחְשָׁ֨ךְ לִפְנֵיהֶ֜ם לָאֹ֗ור וּמַֽעֲקַשִּׁים֙ לְמִישֹׁ֔ור אֵ֚לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֔ים עֲשִׂיתִ֖ם וְלֹ֥א עֲזַבְתִּֽים׃

17 They shall be turned back, they shall be covered with shame, that confide in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

17 נָסֹ֤גוּ אָחֹור֙ יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ בֹ֔שֶׁת הַבֹּטְחִ֖ים בַּפָּ֑סֶל הָאֹמְרִ֥ים לְמַסֵּכָ֖ה אַתֶּ֥ם אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

18 -- Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

18 הַחֵרְשִׁ֖ים שְׁמָ֑עוּ וְהַעִוְרִ֖ים הַבִּ֥יטוּ לִרְאֹֽות׃

19 Who is blind, but my servant? and deaf, as my messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he in whom I have trusted, and blind as Jehovah's servant,

19 מִ֤י עִוֵּר֙ כִּ֣י אִם־עַבְדִּ֔י וְחֵרֵ֖שׁ כְּמַלְאָכִ֣י אֶשְׁלָ֑ח מִ֤י עִוֵּר֙ כִּמְשֻׁלָּ֔ם וְעִוֵּ֖ר כְּעֶ֥בֶד יְהוָֽה׃

20 -- seeing many things, and thou observest not? With opened ears, he heareth not.

20 רָאִיתָ רָאֹ֥ות רַבֹּ֖ות וְלֹ֣א תִשְׁמֹ֑ר פָּקֹ֥וחַ אָזְנַ֖יִם וְלֹ֥א יִשְׁמָֽע׃

21 Jehovah had delight [in him] for his righteousness' sake: he hath magnified the law, and made it honourable.

21 יְהוָ֥ה חָפֵ֖ץ לְמַ֣עַן צִדְקֹ֑ו יַגְדִּ֥יל תֹּורָ֖ה וְיַאְדִּֽיר׃

22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and hidden in prison-houses; they are become a prey, and none delivereth, -- a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

22 וְהוּא֮ עַם־בָּז֣וּז וְשָׁסוּי֒ הָפֵ֤חַ בַּֽחוּרִים֙ כֻּלָּ֔ם וּבְבָתֵּ֥י כְלָאִ֖ים הָחְבָּ֑אוּ הָי֤וּ לָבַז֙ וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּ֔יל מְשִׁסָּ֖ה וְאֵין־אֹמֵ֥ר הָשַֽׁב׃

23 Who among you will give ear to this, [who] will hearken and hear what is to come?

23 מִ֥י בָכֶ֖ם יַאֲזִ֣ין זֹ֑את יַקְשִׁ֥ב וְיִשְׁמַ֖ע לְאָחֹֽור׃

24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah, he against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.

24 מִֽי־נָתַ֨ן לִמְשֹׁוסֶה לִמְשִׁסָּ֧ה³ יַעֲקֹ֛ב וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל לְבֹזְזִ֖ים הֲלֹ֣וא יְהוָ֑ה ז֚וּ חָטָ֣אנוּ לֹ֔ו וְלֹֽא־אָב֤וּ בִדְרָכָיו֙ הָלֹ֔וךְ וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ בְּתֹורָתֹֽו׃

25 And he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he took it not to heart.

25 וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֤ךְ עָלָיו֙ חֵמָ֣ה אַפֹּ֔ו וֶעֱז֖וּז מִלְחָמָ֑ה וַתְּלַהֲטֵ֤הוּ מִסָּבִיב֙ וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֔ע וַתִּבְעַר־בֹּ֖ו וְלֹא־יָשִׂ֥ים עַל־לֵֽב׃
