TOJB2011 ▾Yeshayah ▾54 ▾Yeshayah 541Sing, O akarah (barren woman) , thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that didst not travail with child; for rabbim bnei shome'mah (more are the children of the desolate woman) than the bnei be'ulah (children of the married woman) , saith Hashem .2Enlarge the makom (place, living area) of thy ohel, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine mishkenot (tents) ; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and thy stakes make chizzuk (stronger) ;3For thou shalt spread out on the yamin (right hand) and on the smol (left) ; and thy zera shall inherit the Goyim, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.4Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou discouraged; for thou shalt not suffer disgrace; for thou shalt forget the boshet alumayich (the shame of thy youth) , and shalt not remember any more thy cherpat almenut (reproach of widowhood) .5For thy Oseh (Maker) is thine ba'al (husband) ; Hashem Tzva'os Shmo; and thy Go'el is Kadosh Yisroel; The Elohei Kol HaAretz He is called.6For Hashem hath called thee back, thou who art like an isha forsaken and atzuvat ruach (grieved in spirit) as a cast off eshet ne'urim (wife of oneʼs youth) , saith thy G-d.7For a rega katon (small moment) have I abandoned thee; but with rachamim gedolim will I gather thee back.8With a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a rega (moment) ; but with chesed olam will I have rachamim on thee, saith thy Go'el, Hashem .9For this is as the waters of Noach unto Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noach should no more cover ha'aretz; so have I sworn that with thee I would not be in wrath nor rebuke thee.10For the harim (mountains) shall depart, and the geva'ot (hills) be removed; but My chesed shall not depart from thee, neither shall the Brit of My Shalom be removed, saith Merachamech Hashem ( Hashem the One having rachamim on thee) .11O thou afflicted one, tempest-tossed and unconsoled, hinei, I will lay thy stones of glistening colors, and lay thy yesod (foundation, i.e., figuratively of post-Exilic Jerusalemʼs foundation) with sapphires.12And I will make thy battlements of rubies, and thy she'arim (gates) of carbuncles, and all thy walls of avnei chefetz (precious stones) .13And all thy banim shall be taught of Hashem ; and the shalom of thy banim shall be rav (great) .14In tzedakah (righteousness) shalt thou be established; thou shalt be far from oshek (oppression, tyranny) ; f or thou shalt not fear; and thou shalt be far from mechitah (terror) ; for it shall not come near thee.15Indeed, if attacking they stir up strife, it is not from Me; whosoever shall gather together against thee, yipol (he shall fall) for thy sake.16See, I have created the charash (ironsmith, blacksmith) that fanneth the red-hot coals in the eish (fire) , the one forging a keli (an instrument) for his ma'aseh (work) ; and I have created the mashchit (destroyer, waster, spoiler) to destroy.17No keli (weapon, instrument) that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every leshon (tongue) that shall rise against thee in mishpat (judgment, accusation) tarshi'i (thou shalt condemn, prove false, refute, prove wrong) . This is the nachalat avdei Hashem (the heritage of the servants of Hashem ) , and their tzedakah (righteousness, vindication) is from Me, saith Hashem .Yeshayah 53Yeshayah 55
