Verses 101–200 of 626 (page 2 of 7)
וְהָיִיתָ מְמַשֵּׁשׁ בַּֽצָּהֳרַיִם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יְמַשֵּׁשׁ הַֽעִוֵּר בָּֽאֲפֵלָה וְלֹא תַצְלִיחַ אֶת-דְּרָכֶיךָ וְהָיִיתָ אַךְ עָשׁוּק וְגָזוּל כָּל-הַיָּמִים וְאֵין מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
וֶהֱשִֽׁיבְךָ יְהוָה׀ מִצְרַיִם בָּֽאֳנִיּוֹת בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתִּֽי לְךָ לֹֽא-תֹסִיף עוֹד לִרְאֹתָהּ וְהִתְמַכַּרְתֶּם שָׁם לְאֹֽיְבֶיךָ לַֽעֲבָדִים וְלִשְׁפָחוֹת וְאֵין קֹנֶֽה׃
And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
אֲשֶׁר אָֽנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם לְאַֽהֲבָה אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת בִּדְרָכָיו וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו וְחֻקֹּתָיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו וְחָיִיתָ וְרָבִיתָ וּבֵֽרַכְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-אַתָּה בָא-שָׁמָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃
In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
כִּי יָדַעְתִּי אַֽחֲרֵי מוֹתִי כִּֽי-הַשְׁחֵת תַּשְׁחִתוּן וְסַרְתֶּם מִן-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי אֶתְכֶם וְקָרָאת אֶתְכֶם הָֽרָעָה בְּאַֽחֲרִית הַיָּמִים כִּֽי-תַעֲשׂוּ אֶת-הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה לְהַכְעִיסוֹ בְּמַֽעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיכֶֽם׃
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּֽעֳלוֹ כִּי כָל-דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט אֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר הֽוּא׃
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.
לֹֽא-יָמוּשׁ סֵפֶר הַתּוֹרָה הַזֶּה מִפִּיךָ וְהָגִיתָ בּוֹ יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה לְמַעַן תִּשְׁמֹר לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כְּכָל-הַכָּתוּב בּוֹ כִּי-אָז תַּצְלִיחַ אֶת-דְּרָכֶךָ וְאָז תַּשְׂכִּֽיל׃
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים רָֽדְפוּ אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם דֶּרֶךְ הַיַּרְדֵּן עַל הַֽמַּעְבְּרוֹת וְהַשַּׁעַר סָגָרוּ אַֽחֲרֵי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יָֽצְאוּ הָרֹֽדְפִים אַֽחֲרֵיהֶֽם׃
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
וַתֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הָהָרָה לֵּכוּ פֶּֽן-יִפְגְּעוּ בָכֶם הָרֹֽדְפִים וְנַחְבֵּתֶם שָׁמָּה שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים עַד שׁוֹב הָרֹֽדְפִים וְאַחַר תֵּֽלְכוּ לְדַרְכְּכֶֽם׃
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ הָהָרָה וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים עַד-שָׁבוּ הָרֹֽדְפִים וַיְבַקְשׁוּ הָרֹֽדְפִים בְּכָל-הַדֶּרֶךְ וְלֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
אַךְ׀ רָחוֹק יִֽהְיֶה בֵּֽינֵיכֶם (ובינו) וּבֵינָיו כְּאַלְפַּיִם אַמָּה בַּמִּדָּה אַֽל-תִּקְרְבוּ אֵלָיו לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר-תֵּֽדְעוּ אֶת-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר תֵּֽלְכוּ-בָהּ כִּי לֹא עֲבַרְתֶּם בַּדֶּרֶךְ מִתְּמוֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
וְזֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-מָל יְהוֹשֻׁעַ כָּל-הָעָם הַיֹּצֵא מִמִּצְרַיִם הַזְּכָרִים כֹּל׀ אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה מֵתוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בַּדֶּרֶךְ בְּצֵאתָם מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
כִּֽי-מֻלִים הָיוּ כָּל-הָעָם הַיֹּֽצְאִים וְכָל-הָעָם הַיִּלֹּדִים בַּמִּדְבָּר בַּדֶּרֶךְ בְּצֵאתָם מִמִּצְרַיִם לֹא-מָֽלוּ׃
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
וְאֶת-בְּנֵיהֶם הֵקִים תַּחְתָּם אֹתָם מָל יְהוֹשֻׁעַ כִּֽי-עֲרֵלִים הָיוּ כִּי לֹֽא-מָלוּ אוֹתָם בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
וַיִּנָּֽגְעוּ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיָּנֻסוּ דֶּרֶךְ הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלֵינוּ זְֽקֵינֵינוּ וְכָל-יֹֽשְׁבֵי אַרְצֵנוּ לֵאמֹר קְחוּ בְיֶדְכֶם צֵידָה לַדֶּרֶךְ וּלְכוּ לִקְרָאתָם וַֽאֲמַרְתֶּם אֲלֵיהֶם עַבְדֵיכֶם אֲנַחְנוּ וְעַתָּה כִּרְתוּ-לָנוּ בְרִֽית׃
Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
וְאֵלֶּה נֹאדוֹת הַיַּיִן אֲשֶׁר מִלֵּאנוּ חֲדָשִׁים וְהִנֵּה הִתְבַּקָּעוּ וְאֵלֶּה שַׂלְמוֹתֵינוּ וּנְעָלֵינוּ בָּלוּ מֵרֹב הַדֶּרֶךְ מְאֹֽד׃
And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
וַיְהֻמֵּם יְהוָה לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּכֵּם מַכָּֽה-גְדוֹלָה בְּגִבְעוֹן וַֽיִּרְדְּפֵם דֶּרֶךְ מַֽעֲלֵה בֵית-חוֹרֹן וַיַּכֵּם עַד-עֲזֵקָה וְעַד-מַקֵּדָֽה׃
And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
וְהָֽעֲרָבָה עַד-יָם כִּנְרוֹת מִזְרָחָה וְעַד יָם הָֽעֲרָבָה יָם-הַמֶּלַח מִזְרָחָה דֶּרֶךְ בֵּית הַיְשִׁמוֹת וּמִתֵּימָן תַּחַת אַשְׁדּוֹת הַפִּסְגָּֽה׃
And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:
רַק׀ שִׁמְרוּ מְאֹד לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-הַמִּצְוָה וְאֶת-הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶתְכֶם מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה לְאַֽהֲבָה אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְלָלֶכֶת בְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו וּלְדָבְקָה-בוֹ וּלְעָבְדוֹ בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
וְהִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי הוֹלֵךְ הַיּוֹם בְּדֶרֶךְ כָּל-הָאָרֶץ וִֽידַעְתֶּם בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁכֶם כִּי לֹֽא-נָפַל דָּבָר אֶחָד מִכֹּל׀ הַדְּבָרִים הַטּוֹבִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם הַכֹּל בָּאוּ לָכֶם לֹֽא-נָפַל מִמֶּנּוּ דָּבָר אֶחָֽד׃
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הוּא הַמַּֽעֲלֶה אֹתָנוּ וְאֶת-אֲבוֹתֵינוּ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עֲבָדִים וַֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְעֵינֵינוּ אֶת-הָֽאֹתוֹת הַגְּדֹלוֹת הָאֵלֶּה וַֽיִּשְׁמְרֵנוּ בְּכָל-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְנוּ בָהּ וּבְכֹל הָֽעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃
For the LORD our God, he it is that brought up us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
וְגַם אֶל-שֹֽׁפְטֵיהֶם לֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כִּי זָנוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם סָרוּ מַהֵר מִן-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָֽלְכוּ אֲבוֹתָם לִשְׁמֹעַ מִצְוֹת-יְהוָה לֹא-עָשׂוּ כֵֽן׃
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
וְהָיָה׀ בְּמוֹת הַשּׁוֹפֵט יָשֻׁבוּ וְהִשְׁחִיתוּ מֵֽאֲבוֹתָם לָלֶכֶת אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְעָבְדָם וּלְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוֹת לָהֶם לֹא הִפִּילוּ מִמַּעַלְלֵיהֶם וּמִדַּרְכָּם הַקָּשָֽׁה׃
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
לְמַעַן נַסּוֹת בָּם אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲשֹֽׁמְרִים הֵם אֶת-דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת בָּם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר שָֽׁמְרוּ אֲבוֹתָם אִם-לֹֽא׃
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָלֹךְ אֵלֵךְ עִמָּךְ אֶפֶס כִּי לֹא תִֽהְיֶה תִּֽפְאַרְתְּךָ עַל-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה הוֹלֵךְ כִּי בְֽיַד-אִשָּׁה יִמְכֹּר יְהוָה אֶת-סִֽיסְרָא וַתָּקָם דְּבוֹרָה וַתֵּלֶךְ עִם-בָּרָק קֶֽדְשָׁה׃
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
רֹֽכְבֵי אֲתֹנוֹת צְחֹרוֹת יֹֽשְׁבֵי עַל-מִדִּין וְהֹֽלְכֵי עַל-דֶּרֶךְ שִֽׂיחוּ׃
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
וַיַּעַל גִּדְעוֹן דֶּרֶךְ הַשְּׁכוּנֵי בָֽאֳהָלִים מִקֶּדֶם לְנֹבַח וְיָגְבֳּהָה וַיַּךְ אֶת-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וְהַֽמַּחֲנֶה הָיָה בֶֽטַח׃
And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ לוֹ בַֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם מְאָֽרְבִים עַל רָאשֵׁי הֶֽהָרִים וַיִּגְזְלוּ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-יַֽעֲבֹר עֲלֵיהֶם בַּדָּרֶךְ וַיֻּגַּד לַֽאֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
וַיֹּסֶף עוֹד גַּעַל לְדַבֵּר וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה-עָם יֽוֹרְדִים מֵעִם טַבּוּר הָאָרֶץ וְרֹאשׁ-אֶחָד בָּא מִדֶּרֶךְ אֵלוֹן מְעֽוֹנְנִֽים׃
And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ מֵֽהָעִיר מִבֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה לָגוּר בַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִמְצָא וַיָּבֹא הַר-אֶפְרַיִם עַד-בֵּית מִיכָה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת דַּרְכּֽוֹ׃
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehem-judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ שְׁאַל-נָא בֵֽאלֹהִים וְנֵדְעָה הֲתַצְלִחַ דַּרְכֵּנוּ אֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ הֹֽלְכִים עָלֶֽיהָ׃
And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הַכֹּהֵן לְכוּ לְשָׁלוֹם נֹכַח יְהוָה דַּרְכְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר תֵּֽלְכוּ-בָֽהּ׃
And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ בְנֵי-דָן לְדַרְכָּם וַיַּרְא מִיכָה כִּֽי-חֲזָקִים הֵמָּה מִמֶּנּוּ וַיִּפֶן וַיָּשָׁב אֶל-בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
וַיָּקָם הָאִישׁ לָלֶכֶת הוּא וּפִֽילַגְשׁוֹ וְנַֽעֲרוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ חֹֽתְנוֹ אֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָה הִנֵּה נָא רָפָה הַיּוֹם לַֽעֲרוֹב לִֽינוּ-נָא הִנֵּה חֲנוֹת הַיּוֹם לִין פֹּה וְיִיטַב לְבָבֶךָ וְהִשְׁכַּמְתֶּם מָחָר לְדַרְכְּכֶם וְהָֽלַכְתָּ לְאֹֽהָלֶֽךָ׃
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
וַיָּקָם אֲדֹנֶיהָ בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּפְתַּח דַּלְתוֹת הַבַּיִת וַיֵּצֵא לָלֶכֶת לְדַרְכּוֹ וְהִנֵּה הָֽאִשָּׁה פִֽילַגְשׁוֹ נֹפֶלֶת פֶּתַח הַבַּיִת וְיָדֶיהָ עַל-הַסַּֽף׃
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
וַיִּפְנוּ לִפְנֵי אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-דֶּרֶךְ הַמִּדְבָּר וְהַמִּלְחָמָה הִדְבִּיקָתְהוּ וַֽאֲשֶׁר מֵהֶעָרִים מַשְׁחִיתִים אוֹתוֹ בְּתוֹכֽוֹ׃
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
וַתֵּצֵא מִן-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הָֽיְתָה-שָּׁמָּה וּשְׁתֵּי כַלֹּתֶיהָ עִמָּהּ וַתֵּלַכְנָה בַדֶּרֶךְ לָשׁוּב אֶל-אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָֽה׃
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
וַתֹּאמֶר תִּמְצָא שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ וַתֵּלֶךְ הָֽאִשָּׁה לְדַרְכָּהּ וַתֹּאכַל וּפָנֶיהָ לֹא-הָֽיוּ-לָהּ עֽוֹד׃
And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
וַיָּבוֹא וְהִנֵּה עֵלִי יֹשֵׁב עַֽל-הַכִּסֵּא (יך) יַד דֶּרֶךְ מְצַפֶּה כִּֽי-הָיָה לִבּוֹ חָרֵד עַל אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְהָאִישׁ בָּא לְהַגִּיד בָּעִיר וַתִּזְעַק כָּל-הָעִֽיר׃
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
וּרְאִיתֶם אִם-דֶּרֶךְ גְּבוּלוֹ יַֽעֲלֶה בֵּית שֶׁמֶשׁ הוּא עָשָׂה לָנוּ אֶת-הָֽרָעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת וְאִם-לֹא וְיָדַעְנוּ כִּי לֹא יָדוֹ נָגְעָה בָּנוּ מִקְרֶה הוּא הָיָה לָֽנוּ׃
And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened us. to
וַיִשַּׁרְנָה הַפָּרוֹת בַּדֶּרֶךְ עַל-דֶּרֶךְ בֵּית שֶׁמֶשׁ בִּמְסִלָּה אַחַת הָֽלְכוּ הָלֹךְ וְגָעוֹ וְלֹא-סָרוּ יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול וְסַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים הֹֽלְכִים אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם עַד-גְּבוּל בֵּית שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
And the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
וְלֹֽא-הָלְכוּ בָנָיו (בדרכו) בִּדְרָכָיו וַיִּטּוּ אַֽחֲרֵי הַבָּצַע וַיִּקְחוּ-שֹׁחַד וַיַּטּוּ מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הִנֵּה אַתָּה זָקַנְתָּ וּבָנֶיךָ לֹא הָֽלְכוּ בִּדְרָכֶיךָ עַתָּה שִֽׂימָה-לָּנוּ מֶלֶךְ לְשָׁפְטֵנוּ כְּכָל-הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הִנֵּה-נָא אִישׁ-אֱלֹהִים בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וְהָאִישׁ נִכְבָּד כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יְדַבֵּר בּוֹא יָבוֹא עַתָּה נֵלֲכָה שָּׁם אוּלַי יַגִּיד לָנוּ אֶת-דַּרְכֵּנוּ אֲשֶׁר-הָלַכְנוּ עָלֶֽיהָ׃
And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
וַיֹּסֶף הַנַּעַר לַֽעֲנוֹת אֶת-שָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה נִמְצָא בְיָדִי רֶבַע שֶׁקֶל כָּסֶף וְנָֽתַתִּי לְאִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְהִגִּיד לָנוּ אֶת-דַּרְכֵּֽנוּ׃
And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
גַּם אָֽנֹכִי חָלִילָה לִּי מֵֽחֲטֹא לַֽיהוָה מֵֽחֲדֹל לְהִתְפַּלֵּל בַּֽעַדְכֶם וְהֽוֹרֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם בְּדֶרֶךְ הַטּוֹבָה וְהַיְשָׁרָֽה׃
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
וַיֵּצֵא הַמַּשְׁחִית מִמַּֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים שְׁלֹשָׁה רָאשִׁים הָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה אֶל-דֶּרֶךְ עָפְרָה אֶל-אֶרֶץ שׁוּעָֽל׃
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
וְהָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה דֶּרֶךְ בֵּית חֹרוֹן וְהָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה דֶּרֶךְ הַגְּבוּל הַנִּשְׁקָף עַל-גֵּי הַצְּבֹעִים הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃
And another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת פָּקַדְתִּי אֵת אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה עֲמָלֵק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-שָׂם לוֹ בַּדֶּרֶךְ בַּֽעֲלֹתוֹ מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
וַיִּשְׁלָֽחֲךָ יְהוָה בְּדָרֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר לֵךְ וְהַֽחֲרַמְתָּה אֶת-הַֽחַטָּאִים אֶת-עֲמָלֵק וְנִלְחַמְתָּ בוֹ עַד כַּלּוֹתָם אֹתָֽם׃
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתִּי בְּקוֹל יְהוָה וָֽאֵלֵךְ בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-שְׁלָחַנִי יְהוָה וָֽאָבִיא אֶת-אֲגַג מֶלֶךְ עֲמָלֵק וְאֶת-עֲמָלֵק הֶֽחֱרַֽמְתִּי׃
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
וַיָּקֻמוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה וַיָּרִעוּ וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים עַד-בּֽוֹאֲךָ גַיְא וְעַד שַֽׁעֲרֵי עֶקְרוֹן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ חַֽלְלֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים בְּדֶרֶךְ שַֽׁעֲרַיִם וְעַד-גַּת וְעַד-עֶקְרֽוֹן׃
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
וַיְהִי דָוִד לְכָל-דָּרְכָו מַשְׂכִּיל וַֽיהוָה עִמּֽוֹ׃
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
וַיַּעַן דָּוִד אֶת-הַכֹּהֵן וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ כִּי אִם-אִשָּׁה עֲצֻֽרָה-לָנוּ כִּתְמוֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם בְּצֵאתִי וַיִּֽהְיוּ כְלֵֽי-הַנְּעָרִים קֹדֶשׁ וְהוּא דֶּרֶךְ חֹל וְאַף כִּי הַיּוֹם יִקְדַּשׁ בַּכֶּֽלִי׃
And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
וַיָּבֹא אֶל-גִּדְרוֹת הַצֹּאן עַל-הַדֶּרֶךְ וְשָׁם מְעָרָה וַיָּבֹא שָׁאוּל לְהָסֵךְ אֶת-רַגְלָיו וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו בְּיַרְכְּתֵי הַמְּעָרָה יֹֽשְׁבִֽים׃
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
וַיְשַׁסַּע דָּוִד אֶת-אֲנָשָׁיו בַּדְּבָרִים וְלֹא נְתָנָם לָקוּם אֶל-שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל קָם מֵֽהַמְּעָרָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
וְכִֽי-יִמְצָא אִישׁ אֶת-אֹיְבוֹ וְשִׁלְּחוֹ בְּדֶרֶךְ טוֹבָה וַֽיהוָה יְשַׁלֶּמְךָ טוֹבָה תַּחַת הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָה לִֽי׃
For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.
וַיַּֽהַפְכוּ נַעֲרֵֽי-דָוִד לְדַרְכָּם וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיַּגִּדוּ לוֹ כְּכֹל הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
וַיִּחַן שָׁאוּל בְּגִבְעַת הַֽחֲכִילָה אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי הַיְשִׁימֹן עַל-הַדָּרֶךְ וְדָוִד יֹשֵׁב בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיַּרְא כִּי בָא שָׁאוּל אַֽחֲרָיו הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃
And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-דָּוִד בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּנִי דָוִד גַּם עָשֹׂה תַֽעֲשֶׂה וְגַם יָכֹל תּוּכָל וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד לְדַרְכּוֹ וְשָׁאוּל שָׁב לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
וְעַתָּה שְׁמַֽע-נָא גַם-אַתָּה בְּקוֹל שִׁפְחָתֶךָ וְאָשִׂמָה לְפָנֶיךָ פַּת-לֶחֶם וֶֽאֱכוֹל וִיהִי בְךָ כֹּחַ כִּי תֵלֵךְ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
וַיִּשְׁבּוּ אֶת-הַנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-בָּהּ מִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל לֹא הֵמִיתוּ אִישׁ וַיִּֽנְהֲגוּ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ לְדַרְכָּֽם׃
And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ יוֹאָב וַֽאֲבִישַׁי אַֽחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וְהַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בָּאָה וְהֵמָּה בָּאוּ עַד-גִּבְעַת אַמָּה אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי-גִיחַ דֶּרֶךְ מִדְבַּר גִּבְעֽוֹן׃
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבַּיִת וְהֽוּא-שֹׁכֵב עַל-מִטָּתוֹ בַּֽחֲדַר מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וַיַּכֻּהוּ וַיְמִתֻהוּ וַיָּסִירוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ דֶּרֶךְ הָֽעֲרָבָה כָּל-הַלָּֽיְלָה׃
For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-יָרַד אֽוּרִיָּה אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-אֽוּרִיָּה הֲלוֹא מִדֶּרֶךְ אַתָּה בָא מַדּוּעַ לֹֽא-יָרַדְתָּ אֶל-בֵּיתֶֽךָ׃
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
וַֽיְהִי הֵמָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ וְהַשְּׁמֻעָה בָאָה אֶל-דָּוִד לֵאמֹר הִכָּה אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶת-כָּל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹֽא-נוֹתַר מֵהֶם אֶחָֽד׃
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
וַיִּבְרַח אַבְשָׁלוֹם וַיִּשָּׂא הַנַּעַר הַצֹּפֶה אֶת-(עינו) עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה עַם-רַב הֹֽלְכִים מִדֶּרֶךְ אַֽחֲרָיו מִצַּד הָהָֽר׃
But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
וְהִשְׁכִּים אַבְשָׁלוֹם וְעָמַד עַל-יַד דֶּרֶךְ הַשָּׁעַר וַיְהִי כָּל-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶֽׁר-יִֽהְיֶה-לּוֹ-רִיב לָבוֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיִּקְרָא אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽי-מִזֶּה עִיר אַתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר מֵֽאַחַד שִׁבְטֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
וְכָל-הָאָרֶץ בּוֹכִים קוֹל גָּדוֹל וְכָל-הָעָם עֹֽבְרִים וְהַמֶּלֶךְ עֹבֵר בְּנַחַל קִדְרוֹן וְכָל-הָעָם עֹֽבְרִים עַל-פְּנֵי-דֶרֶךְ אֶת-הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו בַּדָּרֶךְ וְשִׁמְעִי הֹלֵךְ בְּצֵלַע הָהָר לְעֻמָּתוֹ הָלוֹךְ וַיְקַלֵּל וַיְסַקֵּל בָּֽאֲבָנִים לְעֻמָּתוֹ וְעִפַּר בֶּֽעָפָֽר׃
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
וִיהִי-מָה אָרוּץ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ רוּץ וַיָּרָץ אֲחִימַעַץ דֶּרֶךְ הַכִּכָּר וַֽיַּעֲבֹר אֶת-הַכּוּשִֽׁי׃
But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵֽאֱלֹהָֽי׃
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ אִמְרַת יְהוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל הַֽחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
הָאֵל מָֽעוּזִּי חָיִל וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים (דרכו) דַּרְכִּֽי׃
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
וַיֶּֽחֶרְדוּ וַיָּקֻמוּ כָּל-הַקְּרֻאִים אֲשֶׁר לַאֲדֹֽנִיָּהוּ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אִישׁ לְדַרְכּֽוֹ׃
And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
אָֽנֹכִי הֹלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ כָּל-הָאָרֶץ וְחָֽזַקְתָּ וְהָיִיתָֽ לְאִֽישׁ׃
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
וְשָֽׁמַרְתָּ אֶת-מִשְׁמֶרֶת׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת בִּדְרָכָיו לִשְׁמֹר חֻקֹּתָיו מִצְוֹתָיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו וְעֵֽדְוֹתָיו כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה לְמַעַן תַּשְׂכִּיל אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשֶׂה וְאֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר תִּפְנֶה שָֽׁם׃
And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
לְמַעַן יָקִים יְהוָה אֶת-דְּבָרוֹ אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר עָלַי לֵאמֹר אִם-יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ אֶת-דַּרְכָּם לָלֶכֶת לְפָנַי בֶּֽאֱמֶת בְּכָל-לְבָבָם וּבְכָל-נַפְשָׁם לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-יִכָּרֵת לְךָ אִישׁ מֵעַל כִּסֵּא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
וְאִם׀ תֵּלֵךְ בִּדְרָכַי לִשְׁמֹר חֻקַּי וּמִצְוֹתַי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ דָּוִיד אָבִיךָ וְהַֽאֲרַכְתִּי אֶת-יָמֶֽיךָ׃
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁמֹר לְעַבְדְּךָ דָוִד אָבִי אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ לּוֹ לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-יִכָּרֵת לְךָ אִישׁ מִלְּפָנַי יֹשֵׁב עַל-כִּסֵּא יִשְׂרָאֵל רַק אִם-יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ אֶת-דַּרְכָּם לָלֶכֶת לְפָנַי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר הָלַכְתָּ לְפָנָֽי׃
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
וְאַתָּה׀ תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם וְעָשִׂיתָ וְשָֽׁפַטְתָּ אֶת-עֲבָדֶיךָ לְהַרְשִׁיעַ רָשָׁע לָתֵת דַּרְכּוֹ בְּרֹאשׁוֹ וּלְהַצְדִּיק צַדִּיק לָתֶת לוֹ כְּצִדְקָתֽוֹ׃
Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
וְאַתָּה׀ תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם וְסָלַחְתָּ לְחַטַּאת עֲבָדֶיךָ וְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי תוֹרֵם אֶת-הַדֶּרֶךְ הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר יֵֽלְכוּ-בָהּ וְנָֽתַתָּה מָטָר עַל-אַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר-נָתַתָּה לְעַמְּךָ לְנַֽחֲלָֽה׃
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
וְאַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם מְכוֹן שִׁבְתֶּךָ וְסָֽלַחְתָּ וְעָשִׂיתָ וְנָֽתַתָּ לָאִישׁ כְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו אֲשֶׁר תֵּדַע אֶת-לְבָבוֹ כִּֽי-אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ לְבַדְּךָ אֶת-לְבַב כָּל-בְּנֵי הָֽאָדָֽם׃
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
כִּֽי-יֵצֵא עַמְּךָ לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל-אֹיְבוֹ בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁלָחֵם וְהִתְפַּֽלְלוּ אֶל-יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתָּ בָּהּ וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-בָּנִתִי לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
וְשָׁבוּ אֵלֶיךָ בְּכָל-לְבָבָם וּבְכָל-נַפְשָׁם בְּאֶרֶץ אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר-שָׁבוּ אֹתָם וְהִתְפַּֽלְלוּ אֵלֶיךָ דֶּרֶךְ אַרְצָם אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּה לַֽאֲבוֹתָם הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתָּ וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-(בנית) בָּנִיתִי לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃
And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
לְהַטּוֹת לְבָבֵנוּ אֵלָיו לָלֶכֶת בְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו וְחֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶת-אֲבֹתֵֽינוּ׃
That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
וַֽיְהִי בָּעֵת הַהִיא וְיָֽרָבְעָם יָצָא מִירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיִּמְצָא אֹתוֹ אֲחִיָּה הַשִּֽׁילֹנִי הַנָּבִיא בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְהוּא מִתְכַּסֶּה בְּשַׂלְמָה חֲדָשָׁה וּשְׁנֵיהֶם לְבַדָּם בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
יַעַן׀ אֲשֶׁר עֲזָבוּנִי וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְעַשְׁתֹּרֶת אֱלֹהֵי צִֽדֹנִין לִכְמוֹשׁ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וּלְמִלְכֹּם אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְלֹֽא-הָלְכוּ בִדְרָכַי לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינַי וְחֻקֹּתַי וּמִשְׁפָּטַי כְּדָוִד אָבִֽיו׃
Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
וְהָיָה אִם-תִּשְׁמַע אֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר אֲצַוֶּךָ וְהָֽלַכְתָּ בִדְרָכַי וְעָשִׂיתָ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינַי לִשְׁמוֹר חֻקּוֹתַי וּמִצְוֹתַי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה דָּוִד עַבְדִּי וְהָיִיתִי עִמָּךְ וּבָנִיתִֽי לְךָ בַיִת-נֶֽאֱמָן כַּֽאֲשֶׁר בָּנִיתִי לְדָוִד וְנָֽתַתִּי לְךָ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
כִּי-כֵן׀ צִוָּה אֹתִי בִּדְבַר יְהוָה לֵאמֹר לֹא-תֹאכַל לֶחֶם וְלֹא תִשְׁתֶּה-מָּיִם וְלֹא תָשׁוּב בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽכְתָּ׃
For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אַחֵר וְלֹא-שָׁב בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר בָּא בָהּ אֶל-בֵּֽית-אֵֽל׃
So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵהֶם אֲבִיהֶם אֵי-זֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ הָלָךְ וַיִּרְאוּ בָנָיו אֶת-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלַךְ אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-בָּא מִֽיהוּדָֽה׃
And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
כִּֽי-דָבָר אֵלַי בִּדְבַר יְהוָה לֹֽא-תֹאכַל לֶחֶם וְלֹֽא-תִשְׁתֶּה שָׁם מָיִם לֹֽא-תָשׁוּב לָלֶכֶת בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-הָלַכְתָּ בָּֽהּ׃
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּמְצָאֵהוּ אַרְיֵה בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיְמִיתֵהוּ וַתְּהִי נִבְלָתוֹ מֻשְׁלֶכֶת בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְהַֽחֲמוֹר עֹמֵד אֶצְלָהּ וְהָאַרְיֵה עֹמֵד אֵצֶל הַנְּבֵלָֽה׃
And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
וְהִנֵּה אֲנָשִׁים עֹֽבְרִים וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת-הַנְּבֵלָה מֻשְׁלֶכֶת בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְאֶת-הָאַרְיֵה עֹמֵד אֵצֶל הַנְּבֵלָה וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיְדַבְּרוּ בָעִיר אֲשֶׁר הַנָּבִיא הַזָּקֵן יֹשֵׁב בָּֽהּ׃
And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
וַיִּשְׁמַע הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר הֱשִׁיבוֹ מִן-הַדֶּרֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים הוּא אֲשֶׁר מָרָה אֶת-פִּי יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ יְהוָה לָֽאַרְיֵה וַֽיִּשְׁבְּרֵהוּ וַיְמִתֵהוּ כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר-לֽוֹ׃
And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּמְצָא אֶת-נִבְלָתוֹ מֻשְׁלֶכֶת בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַֽחֲמוֹר וְהָאַרְיֵה עֹֽמְדִים אֵצֶל הַנְּבֵלָה לֹֽא-אָכַל הָֽאַרְיֵה אֶת-הַנְּבֵלָה וְלֹא שָׁבַר אֶֽת-הַחֲמֽוֹר׃
And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
אַחַר הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה לֹא-שָׁב יָֽרָבְעָם מִדַּרְכּוֹ הָֽרָעָה וַיָּשָׁב וַיַּעַשׂ מִקְצוֹת הָעָם כֹּֽהֲנֵי בָמוֹת הֶֽחָפֵץ יְמַלֵּא אֶת-יָדוֹ וִיהִי כֹּֽהֲנֵי בָמֽוֹת׃
After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אָבִיו וּבְחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱטִיא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ יָֽרָבְעָם וּבְחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱטִיא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
