| כב:א וַיְהִי דְבַר-יקוק, אֵלַי לֵאמֹר. | 22:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| ב וְאַתָּה בֶן-אָדָם, הֲתִשְׁפֹּט הֲתִשְׁפֹּט אֶת-עִיר הַדָּמִים; וְהוֹדַעְתָּהּ, אֵת כָּל-תּוֹעֲבוֹתֶיהָ. | 2 'Now, thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. |
| ג וְאָמַרְתָּ, כֹּה אָמַר א-דני יקוק, עִיר שֹׁפֶכֶת דָּם בְּתוֹכָהּ, לָבוֹא עִתָּהּ; וְעָשְׂתָה גִלּוּלִים עָלֶיהָ, לְטָמְאָה. | 3 And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: O city that sheddest blood in the midst of thee, that thy time may come, and that makest idols unto thyself to defile thee; |
| ד בְּדָמֵךְ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁפַכְתְּ אָשַׁמְתְּ, וּבְגִלּוּלַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר-עָשִׂית טָמֵאת, וַתַּקְרִיבִי יָמַיִךְ, וַתָּבוֹא עַד-שְׁנוֹתָיִךְ; עַל-כֵּן, נְתַתִּיךְ חֶרְפָּה לַגּוֹיִם, וְקַלָּסָה, לְכָל-הָאֲרָצוֹת. | 4 thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years; therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries! |
| ה הַקְּרֹבוֹת וְהָרְחֹקוֹת מִמֵּךְ, יִתְקַלְּסוּ-בָךְ--טְמֵאַת הַשֵּׁם, רַבַּת הַמְּהוּמָה. | 5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou defiled of name and full of tumult. |
| ו הִנֵּה נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אִישׁ לִזְרֹעוֹ הָיוּ בָךְ, לְמַעַן, שְׁפָךְ-דָּם. | 6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his might, have been in thee to shed blood. |
| ז אָב וָאֵם הֵקַלּוּ בָךְ, לַגֵּר עָשׂוּ בַעֹשֶׁק בְּתוֹכֵךְ; יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה, הוֹנוּ בָךְ. | 7 In thee have they made light of father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger; in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow. |
| ח קָדָשַׁי, בָּזִית; וְאֶת-שַׁבְּתֹתַי, חִלָּלְתְּ. | 8 Thou hast despised My holy things, and hast profaned My sabbaths. |
| ט אַנְשֵׁי רָכִיל הָיוּ בָךְ, לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ-דָּם; וְאֶל-הֶהָרִים אָכְלוּ בָךְ, זִמָּה עָשׂוּ בְתוֹכֵךְ. | 9 In thee have been talebearers to shed blood; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains; in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness. |
| י עֶרְוַת-אָב, גִּלָּה-בָךְ; טְמֵאַת הַנִּדָּה, עִנּוּ-בָךְ. | 10 In thee have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her impurity. |
| יא וְאִישׁ אֶת-אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ, עָשָׂה תּוֹעֵבָה, וְאִישׁ אֶת-כַּלָּתוֹ, טִמֵּא בְזִמָּה; וְאִישׁ אֶת-אֲחֹתוֹ בַת-אָבִיו, עִנָּה-בָךְ. | 11 And each hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and each hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and each in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. |
| יב שֹׁחַד לָקְחוּ-בָךְ, לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ-דָּם; נֶשֶׁךְ וְתַרְבִּית לָקַחַתְּ, וַתְּבַצְּעִי רֵעַיִךְ בַּעֹשֶׁק, וְאֹתִי שָׁכַחַתְּ, נְאֻם א-דני יקוק. | 12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten Me, saith the Lord GOD. |
| יג וְהִנֵּה הִכֵּיתִי כַפִּי, אֶל-בִּצְעֵךְ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית; וְעַל-דָּמֵךְ, אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּתוֹכֵךְ. | 13 Behold, therefore, I have smitten My hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee. |
| יד הֲיַעֲמֹד לִבֵּךְ, אִם-תֶּחֱזַקְנָה יָדַיִךְ, לַיָּמִים, אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אוֹתָךְ; אֲנִי יקוק, דִּבַּרְתִּי וְעָשִׂיתִי. | 14 Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it. |
| טו וַהֲפִיצוֹתִי אוֹתָךְ בַּגּוֹיִם, וְזֵרִיתִיךְ בָּאֲרָצוֹת; וַהֲתִמֹּתִי טֻמְאָתֵךְ, מִמֵּךְ. | 15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee. |
| טז וְנִחַלְתְּ בָּךְ, לְעֵינֵי גוֹיִם; וְיָדַעַתְּ, כִּי-אֲנִי יקוק. | 16 And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.' |
