Isaiah - Chapter: 8

>
8:1Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
8:2And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
8:3And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
8:4For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
8:5The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
8:6Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
8:7Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8:8And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
8:9Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
8:10Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
8:11For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
8:12Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
8:13Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
8:14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
8:15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
8:16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
8:17And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
8:18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
8:19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
8:20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
8:21And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
8:22And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

 

8:1ויאמר יהוה אלי קח לך גליון גדול וכתב עליו בחרט אנושׁ למהר שׁלל חשׁ בז׃
8:2ואעידה לי עדים נאמנים את אוריה הכהן ואת זכריהו בן יברכיהו׃
8:3ואקרב אל הנביאה ותהר ותלד בן ויאמר יהוה אלי קרא שׁמו מהר שׁלל חשׁ בז׃
8:4כי בטרם ידע הנער קרא אבי ואמי ישׂא את חיל דמשׂק ואת שׁלל שׁמרון לפני מלך אשׁור׃
8:5ויסף יהוה דבר אלי עוד לאמר׃
8:6יען כי מאס העם הזה את מי השׁלח ההלכים לאט ומשׂושׂ את רצין ובן רמליהו׃
8:7ולכן הנה אדני מעלה עליהם את מי הנהר העצומים והרבים את מלך אשׁור ואת כל כבודו ועלה על כל אפיקיו והלך על כל גדותיו׃
8:8וחלף ביהודה שׁטף ועבר עד צואר יגיע והיה מטות כנפיו מלא רחב ארצך עמנו אל׃
8:9רעו עמים וחתו והאזינו כל מרחקי ארץ התאזרו וחתו התאזרו וחתו׃
8:10עצו עצה ותפר דברו דבר ולא יקום כי עמנו אל׃
8:11כי כה אמר יהוה אלי כחזקת היד ויסרני מלכת בדרך העם הזה לאמר׃
8:12לא תאמרון קשׁר לכל אשׁר יאמר העם הזה קשׁר ואת מוראו לא תיראו ולא תעריצו׃
8:13את יהוה צבאות אתו תקדישׁו והוא מוראכם והוא מערצכם׃
8:14והיה למקדשׁ ולאבן נגף ולצור מכשׁול לשׁני בתי ישׂראל לפח ולמוקשׁ ליושׁב ירושׁלם׃
8:15וכשׁלו בם רבים ונפלו ונשׁברו ונוקשׁו ונלכדו׃
8:16צור תעודה חתום תורה בלמדי׃
8:17וחכיתי ליהוה המסתיר פניו מבית יעקב וקויתי׃
8:18הנה אנכי והילדים אשׁר נתן לי יהוה לאתות ולמופתים בישׂראל מעם יהוה צבאות השׁכן בהר ציון׃
8:19וכי יאמרו אליכם דרשׁו אל האבות ואל הידענים המצפצפים והמהגים הלוא עם אל אלהיו ידרשׁ בעד החיים אל המתים׃
8:20לתורה ולתעודה אם לא יאמרו כדבר הזה אשׁר אין לו שׁחר׃
8:21ועבר בה נקשׁה ורעב והיה כי ירעב והתקצף וקלל במלכו ובאלהיו ופנה למעלה׃
8:22ואל ארץ יביט והנה צרה וחשׁכה מעוף צוקה ואפלה מנדח׃

 

8:1And Jehovah saith unto me, `Take to thee a great tablet, and write upon it with a graving tool of man, To haste spoil, enjoy prey.'
8:2And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
8:3And I draw near unto the prophetess, and she conceiveth, and beareth a son; and Jehovah saith unto me, `Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
8:4for before the youth doth know to cry, My father, and My mother, one taketh away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.'
8:5And Jehovah addeth to speak unto me again, saying:
8:6`Because that this people hath refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
8:7Therefore, lo, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great, (The king of Asshur, and all his glory,) And it hath gone up over all its streams, And hath gone on over all its banks.
8:8And it hath passed on into Judah, It hath overflown and passed over, Unto the neck it cometh, And the stretching out of its wings Hath been the fulness of the breadth of thy land, O Emmanu-El!
8:9Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.
8:10Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'
8:11For thus hath Jehovah spoken unto me with strength of hand, and instructeth me against walking in the way of this people, saying,
8:12`Ye do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people saith, A confederacy, And its fear ye do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
8:13Jehovah of Hosts -- Him ye do sanctify, And He `is' your Fear, and He your Dread,
8:14And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
8:15And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
8:16Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among My disciples.
8:17And I have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.
8:18Lo, I, and the children whom Jehovah hath given to me, `Are' for signs and for wonders in Israel, From Jehovah of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.
8:19And when they say unto you, `Seek unto those having familiar spirits, And unto wizards, who chatter and mutter, Doth not a people seek unto its God? -- For the living unto the dead!
8:20To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.'
8:21-- And it hath passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it hath come to pass, That it is hungry, and hath been wroth, And made light of its king, and of its God, And hath looked upwards.
8:22And unto the land it looketh attentively, And lo, adversity and darkness! -- Dimness, distress, and thick darkness is driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!
