YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Give ear, O ye
heavens, and I will
speak; and hear, O earth, the
words
of my mouth .
`
Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And thou
dost
hear, O earth, sayings
of my mouth !
My
doctrine
shall
drop as the
rain ,
my speech
shall
distil
as the
dew ,
as the
small
rain
upon
the tender herb
, and as the
showers upon
the grass:
Drop as rain doth
My doctrine;
Flow
as dew doth
My
sayings;
As storms
on
the tender grass
, And as showers on
the herb,
Because
I
will
publish
the name of the
LORD:
ascribe ye greatness unto
our God .
For
the Name of Jehovah
I
proclaim,
Ascribe ye greatness to
our God !
He
is
the Rock ,
his work is
perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
a
God of truth
and without iniquity ,
just
and right
is he.
The Rock !
--
perfect
`is'
His work ,
For all His ways `
are '
just;
God of stedfastness,
and without iniquity :
Righteous
and upright
`
is '
He.
They
have
corrupted
themselves,
their spot
is not the
spot
of
his children:
they
are
a perverse and crooked generation.
It
hath
done
corruptly
to
Him;
Their blemish
is not His sons',
A generation
perverse and crooked !
Do ye thus requite
the
LORD
, O foolish
people and unwise
? is not he thy father that
hath
bought
thee
? hath
he not
made thee, and established
thee ?
To
Jehovah
do ye act
thus, O people foolish
and not
wise
? Is not He thy father --
thy
possessor
? He made thee, and doth
establish
thee .
Remember the
days of old ,
consider
the years of many generations :
ask thy father, and he will
show
thee; thy
elders, and they will
tell
thee .
Remember days of old --
Understand
the years of many generations --
Ask thy father, and he doth
tell
thee; Thine
elders, and they say
to
thee :
When
the Most High divided
to
the
nations their
inheritance
, when
he
separated
the
sons of Adam ,
he set
the bounds
of the people
according
to
the number of the children
of Israel.
In
the Most High causing
nations to
inherit
, In
His
separating
sons of Adam --
He setteth
up
the borders
of the peoples
By
the number of the sons
of Israel.
For the
LORD's
portion is his people ;
Jacob is the lot
of his inheritance.
For Jehovah's
portion `
is '
His people ,
Jacob `
is '
the line
of His inheritance.
He found
him in a desert
land, and in the
waste
howling wilderness ;
he led
him about,
he instructed
him ,
he kept
him as the apple of his eye.
He findeth
him in a land --
a
desert
, And in a
void
--
a
howling wilderness ,
He turneth
him round
--
He causeth
him to
understand
--
He keepeth
him as the apple of His eye.
As an eagle stirreth
up her
nest, fluttereth
over her
young, spreadeth abroad
her
wings ,
taketh them, beareth them on her
wings:
As an eagle waketh
up its
nest, Over its
young ones
fluttereth
, Spreadeth its
wings --
taketh them, Beareth them on its
pinions;
--
So
the
LORD
alone did
lead him, and there was
no strange god with him.
Jehovah
alone doth
lead him, And there is
no strange god with him.
He made
him ride on the
high places of the
earth, that
he might
eat
the
increase of the fields ;
and he made
him to
suck honey out
of
the
rock, and oil out of the flinty
rock;
He maketh
him ride on high places of earth, And
he eateth
increase of the fields ,
And He maketh
him suck honey from
a
rock, And oil out of the flint
of
a
rock;
Butter of kine
, and milk of sheep
, with fat of lambs, and rams of
the
breed
of Bashan, and goats, with the
fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou
didst
drink
the pure
blood of the grape .
Butter of the
herd
, and milk of the
flock
, With fat of lambs, and rams ,
sons
of Bashan, And he-
goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of
the blood of the grape thou
dost
drink
wine!
But
Jeshurun waxed
fat, and kicked
: thou art
waxen
fat ,
thou art
grown
thick, thou art
covered with
fatness;
then
he forsook
God which
made him, and lightly
esteemed
the Rock of his salvation.
And
Jeshurun waxeth
fat, and doth
kick
: Thou hast
been
fat --
thou hast
been
thick, Thou hast
been
covered .
And
he leaveth
God who
made him, And dishonoureth
the Rock of his salvation.
They provoked
him to
jealousy
with strange
gods
, with abominations provoked
they him to
anger
.
They make
Him zealous
with strangers
, With abominations they make
Him angry
.
They sacrificed
unto
devils,
not
to God ;
to
gods whom
they knew
not ,
to
new gods
that
came newly
up,
whom
your fathers feared
not.
They sacrifice
to demons
--
no
god !
Gods they have
not known
--
New ones
--
from
the
vicinity
they
came ;
Not
feared
them
have
your fathers !
Of
the Rock that begat thee thou art
unmindful
, and hast
forgotten
God that
formed
thee.
The Rock that begat thee thou forgettest
, And neglectest
God who
formeth
thee.
And when
the
LORD
saw
it,
he
abhorred
them,
because
of
the provoking
of his sons ,
and of
his daughters.
And Jehovah
seeth
and
despiseth
--
For
the provocation
of His sons and His daughters.
And he said,
I will
hide my face from them, I will
see what their end shall
be:
for they
are
a very
froward generation, children
in whom is no faith
.
And He saith:
I hide My face from them, I see what `is'
their latter
end ;
For a froward generation `are'
they
, Sons
in whom is no stedfastness
.
They have moved
me to
jealousy
with
that
which
is
not
God ;
they have
provoked
me to
anger
with
their vanities :
and I will
move
them to
jealousy
with
those
which
are
not
a
people ;
I
will
provoke
them
to
anger
with
a foolish nation.
They have made
Me zealous
by
`no-
god ,'
They made
Me angry
by
their vanities ;
And I make
them zealous
by
`no-
people ,'
By
a foolish nation I
make
them
angry
.
For a fire is
kindled in mine anger, and shall
burn
unto the lowest hell
, and shall
consume
the
earth with
her
increase, and set
on fire the
foundations of the
mountains.
For a fire hath
been
kindled in Mine anger, And it
burneth
unto Sheol
--
the lowest, And consumeth
earth and
its
increase, And setteth
on fire foundations of mountains.
I will
heap
mischiefs
upon them ;
I
will
spend
mine arrows upon them.
I gather
upon them evils,
Mine arrows I
consume
upon them.
They
shall
be
burnt
with
hunger
, and devoured
with
burning
heat, and with
bitter destruction :
I
will
also
send
the teeth of beasts upon them, with the
poison of serpents
of the dust.
Exhausted
by
famine
, And consumed
by
heat, and bitter destruction .
And
the teeth of beasts I
send
upon them, With poison of fearful
things
of the dust.
The sword without
, and terror
within
, shall
destroy
both the
young
man
and the
virgin, the
suckling also
with the
man of gray
hairs
.
Without
bereave
doth
the sword, And at
the
inner-chambers
--
fear
, Both youth
and virgin, Suckling with man of grey
hair
.
I said ,
I would
scatter
them into
corners
, I would
make
the
remembrance of
them
to cease from among
men:
I have
said :
I blow
them away
, I cause
their
remembrance to cease from man;
Were
it
not that
I
feared
the wrath
of the
enemy, lest their adversaries should
behave
themselves
strangely,
and
lest they should
say, Our hand is high, and the
LORD
hath not done
all this.
If
not --
the anger
of an
enemy I
fear
, Lest their adversaries know
--
Lest they say, Our hand is high, And Jehovah
hath not wrought
all this.
For they
are
a nation void
of
counsel
, neither
is
there any
understanding in them.
For a nation lost
to
counsels
`are'
they
, And
there is
no
understanding in them.
O
that
they were wise ,
that
they understood
this ,
that
they would
consider
their latter end !
If
they were wise --
They deal
wisely
`with'
this ;
They attend
to
their latter end :
How should
one chase
a thousand, and two put
ten
thousand
to flight,
except
their Rock had
sold them, and the
LORD
had
shut them up?
How doth
one pursue
a thousand, And two cause
a
myriad
to flee!
If
not
--
that
their rock hath
sold them, And Jehovah
hath
shut them up?
For their
rock
is
not as our Rock, even
our enemies themselves
being
judges .
For not as our Rock `is'
their
rock
, (And
our enemies `are'
judges !)
For their
vine
is
of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah :
their grapes are grapes of gall ,
their
clusters
are
bitter :
For of the vine of Sodom their
vine
`is'
, And of the fields of Gomorrah ;
Their grapes `
are '
grapes of gall --
They
have
bitter clusters;
Their
wine
is
the poison of dragons ,
and the cruel
venom of asps.
The poison of dragons `is'
their
wine
And the fierce
venom of asps.
Is not this
laid up in
store
with me ,
and
sealed up
among my treasures?
Is it
not laid up with Me ?
Sealed among My treasures?
To
me
belongeth
vengeance and recompence;
their foot shall
slide in
due
time:
for the
day of their calamity is
at
hand
, and the
things that
shall
come
upon
them make
haste
.
Mine
`are'
vengeance and recompense,
At
the
due
time
--
doth
their foot slide ;
For near
is
a
day of their calamity, And haste
do
things prepared
for
them.
For the
LORD
shall
judge his people, and repent
himself
for his servants ,
when
he seeth that
their
power is
gone
, and there
is
none shut
up,
or
left.
For Jehovah
doth
judge His people, And for His servants doth
repent
Himself.
For
He seeth --
the
going
away
of
power, And none is
restrained
and
left.
And he shall
say
, Where are their gods ,
their
rock in whom
they trusted ,
And He hath
said
, Where `
are '
their gods --
The
rock in which
they trusted ;
Which did
eat
the fat of their sacrifices, and
drank
the wine of their drink
offerings?
let them rise
up
and help you, and
be your
protection.
Which the fat of their sacrifices do
eat
, They
drink
the wine of their libation!
Let them arise
and help you, Let
it
be for
you
a
hiding-place!
See now that I ,
even
I ,
am he, and there is no god with me: I kill
, and I make
alive; I wound
, and I heal :
neither
is
there any
that
can
deliver
out
of
my hand .
See ye,
now ,
that I --
I `
am '
He, And there is no god with Me: I put
to
death
, and I keep
alive; I have
smitten
, and I heal ;
And
there is
not
from
My hand a
deliverer,
For I lift up my hand to
heaven
, and say
, I live for
ever.
For I lift up unto
the
heavens
My hand, And have
said
, I live --
to
the
age!
If I whet
my glittering
sword, and mine
hand take
hold on judgment ;
I will
render
vengeance to mine enemies
, and will
reward
them
that
hate
me .
If I have
sharpened
the
brightness
of
My sword, And My
hand doth
lay
hold on judgment ,
I turn
back
vengeance to Mine adversaries
, And to
those
hating
Me --
I
repay!
I will
make mine arrows drunk
with blood, and my sword shall
devour
flesh ;
and
that
with
the blood of the slain
and of
the
captives
, from the beginning
of revenges
upon
the enemy.
I make drunk
Mine arrows with blood, And My sword devoureth
flesh ,
From
the blood of the pierced
and captive
, From the head
of the freemen
of
the
enemy.
Rejoice,
O
ye nations ,
with his people :
for he
will
avenge
the blood of his servants, and will
render
vengeance to
his adversaries, and will
be
merciful
unto
his land ,
and
to
his people.
Sing
ye nations --
`
with '
his people ,
For the blood of His servants He
avengeth
, And vengeance He
turneth
back
on
His adversaries, And hath
pardoned
His land --
His people. '
And Moses came
and spake
all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he ,
and Hoshea the
son of Nun .
And Moses cometh
and speaketh
all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun ;
And Moses made
an
end
of
speaking
all these words to
all Israel :
and Moses finisheth
to
speak
all these words unto
all Israel ,
And he
said
unto them, Set your hearts
unto
all the words which I testify
among
you this
day, which
ye shall
command your children
to observe to do ,
all the words of this law .
and saith
unto them, `
Set your heart
to
all the words which I am
testifying
against
you to-
day, that
ye command your sons
to observe to do all the words of this law ,
For it is not a vain thing for you ;
because
it is your life :
and through
this thing ye shall
prolong your
days in
the land,
whither ye go
over Jordan to possess it.
for it `
is '
not a vain thing for you ,
for
it `
is '
your life ,
and by
this thing ye prolong days on
the ground
whither ye are
passing
over the
Jordan to possess it. '
And the
LORD
spake
unto Moses that
selfsame
day, saying,
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto Moses ,
in
this
self-same
day, saying,
Get
thee
up into
this mountain
Abarim, unto
mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that
is over
against
Jericho ;
and behold
the land of Canaan ,
which I give
unto
the children
of Israel for a possession :
`Go
up unto
this mount
Abarim, mount Nebo, which `
is '
in the land of Moab, which
`
is '
on
the
front
of
Jericho ,
and see
the land of Canaan which I am
giving
to
the sons
of Israel for a possession ;
And die in the mount whither thou goest
up, and be gathered unto thy people ;
as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was
gathered unto his people:
and die in the mount whither thou art
going
up, and be gathered unto thy people ,
as Aaron thy brother hath
died in the
mount Hor, and is
gathered unto his people:
Because ye trespassed against me among
the children
of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh
, in
the wilderness of Zin ;
because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children
of Israel .
`
Because ye trespassed against me in
the midst
of the
sons
of
Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh
, the wilderness of Zin --
because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the sons
of Israel ;
Yet
thou shalt
see
the land before
thee;
but
thou shalt
not go thither
unto the land which I give
the children
of Israel.
but
over-against
thou seest
the land ,
and
thither
thou dost
not go in,
unto the land which I am
giving
to
the sons
of Israel. '
