| טז:א וַיְהִי דְבַר-יקוק, אֵלַי לֵאמֹר. | 16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| ב בֶּן-אָדָם, הוֹדַע אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶת-תּוֹעֲבֹתֶיהָ. | 2 'Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, |
| ג וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה-אָמַר א-דני יקוק, לִירוּשָׁלִַם, מְכֹרֹתַיִךְ וּמֹלְדֹתַיִךְ, מֵאֶרֶץ הַכְּנַעֲנִי; אָבִיךְ הָאֱמֹרִי, וְאִמֵּךְ חִתִּית. | 3 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem: Thine origin and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite. |
| ד וּמוֹלְדוֹתַיִךְ, בְּיוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת אוֹתָךְ לֹא-כָרַּת שָׁרֵּךְ, וּבְמַיִם לֹא-רֻחַצְתְּ, לְמִשְׁעִי; וְהָמְלֵחַ לֹא הֻמְלַחַתְּ, וְהָחְתֵּל לֹא חֻתָּלְתְּ. | 4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou was not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. |
| ה לֹא-חָסָה עָלַיִךְ עַיִן, לַעֲשׂוֹת לָךְ אַחַת מֵאֵלֶּה--לְחֻמְלָה עָלָיִךְ; וַתֻּשְׁלְכִי אֶל-פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה, בְּגֹעַל נַפְשֵׁךְ, בְּיוֹם, הֻלֶּדֶת אֹתָךְ. | 5 No eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field in the loathsomeness of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. |
| ו וָאֶעֱבֹר עָלַיִךְ וָאֶרְאֵךְ, מִתְבּוֹסֶסֶת בְּדָמָיִךְ; וָאֹמַר לָךְ בְּדָמַיִךְ חֲיִי, וָאֹמַר לָךְ בְּדָמַיִךְ חֲיִי. | 6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee wallowing in thy blood, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live; |
| ז רְבָבָה, כְּצֶמַח הַשָּׂדֶה נְתַתִּיךְ, וַתִּרְבִּי וַתִּגְדְּלִי, וַתָּבֹאִי בַּעֲדִי עֲדָיִים: שָׁדַיִם נָכֹנוּ וּשְׂעָרֵךְ צִמֵּחַ, וְאַתְּ עֵרֹם וְעֶרְיָה. | 7 I cause thee to increase, even as the growth of the field. And thou didst increase and grow up, and thou camest to excellent beauty: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare. |
| ח וָאֶעֱבֹר עָלַיִךְ וָאֶרְאֵךְ, וְהִנֵּה עִתֵּךְ עֵת דֹּדִים, וָאֶפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפִי עָלַיִךְ, וָאֲכַסֶּה עֶרְוָתֵךְ; וָאֶשָּׁבַע לָךְ וָאָבוֹא בִבְרִית אֹתָךְ, נְאֻם א-דני יקוק--וַתִּהְיִי-לִי. | 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love, I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest Mine. |
| ט וָאֶרְחָצֵךְ בַּמַּיִם, וָאֶשְׁטֹף דָּמַיִךְ מֵעָלָיִךְ; וָאֲסֻכֵךְ, בַּשָּׁמֶן. | 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I cleansed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. |
| י וָאַלְבִּישֵׁךְ רִקְמָה, וָאֶנְעֲלֵךְ תָּחַשׁ; וָאֶחְבְּשֵׁךְ בַּשֵּׁשׁ, וַאֲכַסֵּךְ מֶשִׁי. | 10 I clothed thee also with richly woven work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I wound fine linen about thy head, and covered thee with silk. |
| יא וָאֶעְדֵּךְ, עֶדִי; וָאֶתְּנָה צְמִידִים עַל-יָדַיִךְ, וְרָבִיד עַל-גְּרוֹנֵךְ. | 11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. |
| יב וָאֶתֵּן נֶזֶם, עַל-אַפֵּךְ, וַעֲגִילִים, עַל-אָזְנָיִךְ; וַעֲטֶרֶת תִּפְאֶרֶת, בְּרֹאשֵׁךְ. | 12 And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. |
| יג וַתַּעְדִּי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף, וּמַלְבּוּשֵׁךְ ששי (שֵׁשׁ) וָמֶשִׁי וְרִקְמָה, סֹלֶת וּדְבַשׁ וָשֶׁמֶן, אכלתי (אָכָלְתְּ); וַתִּיפִי בִּמְאֹד מְאֹד, וַתִּצְלְחִי לִמְלוּכָה. | 13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and richly woven work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou didst wax exceeding beautiful, and thou wast meet for royal estate. |
| יד וַיֵּצֵא לָךְ שֵׁם בַּגּוֹיִם, בְּיָפְיֵךְ: כִּי כָּלִיל הוּא, בַּהֲדָרִי אֲשֶׁר-שַׂמְתִּי עָלַיִךְ--נְאֻם, א-דני יקוק. | 14 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through My splendour which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. |
