Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
וְעָרִים עָשָׂה לוֹ וּמִקְנֵה-צֹאן וּבָקָר לָרֹב כִּי נָֽתַן-לוֹ אֱלֹהִים רְכוּשׁ רַב מְאֹֽד׃

וְהוּא יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ סָתַם אֶת-מוֹצָא מֵימֵי גִיחוֹן הָֽעֶלְיוֹן וַֽיַּישְּׁרֵם לְמַֽטָּה-מַּעְרָבָה לְעִיר דָּוִיד וַיַּצְלַח יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ בְּכָֽל-מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
וְאַֽחֲרֵי-כֵן בָּנָה חוֹמָה חִֽיצוֹנָה׀ לְעִיר-דָּוִיד מַעְרָבָה לְגִיחוֹן בַּנַּחַל וְלָבוֹא בְשַׁעַר הַדָּגִים וְסָבַב לָעֹפֶל וַיַּגְבִּיהֶהָ מְאֹד וַיָּשֶׂם שָֽׂרֵי-חַיִל בְּכָל-הֶֽעָרִים הַבְּצֻרוֹת בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃
Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
וַיָּסַר אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר וְאֶת-הַסֶּמֶל מִבֵּית יְהוָה וְכָל-הַֽמִּזְבְּחוֹת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בְּהַר בֵּית-יְהוָה וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ חוּצָה לָעִֽיר׃
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
וּבְעָרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרַיִם וְשִׁמְעוֹן וְעַד-נַפְתָּלִי (בהר) (בתיהם) בְּחַרְבֹתֵיהֶם סָבִֽיב׃
And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.
וּבִשְׁנַת שְׁמוֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה לְמָלְכוֹ לְטַהֵר הָאָרֶץ וְהַבָּיִת שָׁלַח אֶת-שָׁפָן בֶּן-אֲצַלְיָהוּ וְאֶת-מַֽעֲשֵׂיָהוּ שַׂר-הָעִיר וְאֵת יוֹאָח בֶּן-יֽוֹאָחָז הַמַּזְכִּיר לְחַזֵּק אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
וְאֵלֶּה׀ בְּנֵי הַמְּדִינָה הָֽעֹלִים מִשְּׁבִי הַגּוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה (נבוכדנצור) נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל לְבָבֶל וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִירֽוּשָׁלִַם וִֽיהוּדָה אִישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ׃
Now these are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וּֽמִן-הָעָם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַנְּתִינִים בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃

And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
יַֽעֲמְדוּ-נָא שָׂרֵינוּ לְֽכָל-הַקָּהָל וְכֹל׀ אֲשֶׁר בֶּֽעָרֵינוּ הַֽהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת יָבֹא לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים וְעִמָּהֶם זִקְנֵי-עִיר וָעִיר וְשֹֽׁפְטֶיהָ עַד לְהָשִׁיב חֲרוֹן אַף-אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד לַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃

וָֽאֹמַר לַמֶּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ לְעוֹלָם יִֽחְיֶה מַדּוּעַ לֹֽא-יֵרְעוּ פָנַי אֲשֶׁר הָעִיר בֵּית-קִבְרוֹת אֲבֹתַי חֲרֵבָה וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ אֻכְּלוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
וָֽאֹמַר לַמֶּלֶךְ אִם-עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ טוֹב וְאִם-יִיטַב עַבְדְּךָ לְפָנֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁלָחֵנִי אֶל-יְהוּדָה אֶל-עִיר קִבְרוֹת אֲבֹתַי וְאֶבְנֶֽנָּה׃

וְאִגֶּרֶת אֶל-אָסָף שֹׁמֵר הַפַּרְדֵּס אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר יִתֶּן-לִי עֵצִים לְקָרוֹת אֶת-שַֽׁעֲרֵי הַבִּירָה אֲשֶׁר-לַבַּיִת וּלְחוֹמַת הָעִיר וְלַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-אָבוֹא אֵלָיו וַיִּתֶּן-לִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּיַד-אֱלֹהַי הַטּוֹבָה עָלָֽי׃
And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into.

וְאֵת שַׁעַר הָעַיִן הֶֽחֱזִיק שַׁלּוּן בֶּן-כָּל-חֹזֶה שַׂר פֶּלֶךְ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא יִבְנֶנּוּ וִיטַֽלְלֶנּוּ (ויעמידו) וְיַעֲמִיד דַּלְתֹתָיו מַנְעֻלָיו וּבְרִיחָיו וְאֵת חוֹמַת בְּרֵכַת הַשֶּׁלַח לְגַן-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַד-הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת הַיּֽוֹרְדוֹת מֵעִיר דָּוִֽיד׃
But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
וְהָעִיר רַֽחֲבַת יָדַיִם וּגְדוֹלָה וְהָעָם מְעַט בְּתוֹכָהּ וְאֵין בָּתִּים בְּנוּיִֽם׃
Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
אֵלֶּה׀ בְּנֵי הַמְּדִינָה הָֽעֹלִים מִשְּׁבִי הַגּוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִֽירוּשָׁלִַם וְלִֽיהוּדָה אִישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ׃
These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּמִן-הָעָם וְהַנְּתִינִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
וַֽאֲשֶׁר יַשְׁמִיעוּ וְיַֽעֲבִירוּ קוֹל בְּכָל-עָֽרֵיהֶם וּבִירֽוּשָׁלִַם לֵאמֹר צְאוּ הָהָר וְהָבִיאוּ עֲלֵי-זַיִת וַֽעֲלֵי-עֵץ שֶׁמֶן וַֽעֲלֵי הֲדַס וַֽעֲלֵי תְמָרִים וַֽעֲלֵי עֵץ עָבֹת לַֽעֲשֹׂת סֻכֹּת כַּכָּתֽוּב׃
And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
וַֽיִּלְכְּדוּ עָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת וַֽאֲדָמָה שְׁמֵנָה וַיִּֽירְשׁוּ בָּתִּים מְלֵֽאִים-כָּל-טוּב בֹּרוֹת חֲצוּבִים כְּרָמִים וְזֵיתִים וְעֵץ מַֽאֲכָל לָרֹב וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ וַֽיִּשְׂבְּעוּ וַיַּשְׁמִינוּ וַיִּֽתְעַדְּנוּ בְּטֽוּבְךָ הַגָּדֽוֹל׃
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
וְאֶת-רֵאשִׁית עֲרִֽיסֹתֵינוּ וּתְרֽוּמֹתֵינוּ וּפְרִי כָל-עֵץ תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר נָבִיא לַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֶל-לִשְׁכוֹת בֵּית-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וּמַעְשַׂר אַדְמָתֵנוּ לַלְוִיִּם וְהֵם הַלְוִיִּם הַֽמְעַשְּׂרִים בְּכֹל עָרֵי עֲבֹֽדָתֵֽנוּ׃
And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ שָׂרֵֽי-הָעָם בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הִפִּילוּ גֽוֹרָלוֹת לְהָבִיא׀ אֶחָד מִן-הָֽעֲשָׂרָה לָשֶׁבֶת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְתֵשַׁע הַיָּדוֹת בֶּֽעָרִֽים׃
And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
וְאֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הַמְּדִינָה אֲשֶׁר יָֽשְׁבוּ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּבְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה יָֽשְׁבוּ אִישׁ בַּֽאֲחֻזָּתוֹ בְּעָרֵיהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַנְּתִינִים וּבְנֵי עַבְדֵי שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.
וְיוֹאֵל בֶּן-זִכְרִי פָּקִיד עֲלֵיהֶם וִֽיהוּדָה בֶן-הַסְּנוּאָה עַל-הָעִיר מִשְׁנֶֽה׃
And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer: and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city.
כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם בְּעִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ מָאתַיִם שְׁמֹנִים וְאַרְבָּעָֽה׃
All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
וּשְׁאָר יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם בְּכָל-עָרֵי יְהוּדָה אִישׁ בְּנַֽחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
וְעַל שַׁעַר הָעַיִן וְנֶגְדָּם עָלוּ עַֽל-מַעֲלוֹת עִיר דָּוִיד בַּֽמַּעֲלֶה לַֽחוֹמָה מֵעַל לְבֵית דָּוִיד וְעַד שַׁעַר הַמַּיִם מִזְרָֽח׃
And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
וַיִּפָּֽקְדוּ בַיּוֹם הַהוּא אֲנָשִׁים עַל-הַנְּשָׁכוֹת לָאוֹצָרוֹת לַתְּרוּמוֹת לָֽרֵאשִׁית וְלַמַּֽעַשְׂרוֹת לִכְנוֹס בָּהֶם לִשְׂדֵי הֶֽעָרִים מְנָאוֹת הַתּוֹרָה לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם כִּי שִׂמְחַת יְהוּדָה עַל-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְעַל-הַלְוִיִּם הָעֹֽמְדִֽים׃
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
הֲלוֹא כֹה עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַיָּבֵא אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ אֵת כָּל-הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּאת וְעַל הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְאַתֶּם מֽוֹסִיפִים חָרוֹן עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחַלֵּל אֶת-הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
הָֽרָצִים יָֽצְאוּ דְחוּפִים בִּדְבַר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַדָּת נִתְּנָה בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה וְהַמֶּלֶךְ וְהָמָן יָֽשְׁבוּ לִשְׁתּוֹת וְהָעִיר שׁוּשָׁן נָבֽוֹכָה׃
The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
וּמָרְדֳּכַי יָדַע אֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר נַֽעֲשָׂה וַיִּקְרַע מָרְדֳּכַי אֶת-בְּגָדָיו וַיִּלְבַּשׁ שַׂק וָאֵפֶר וַיֵּצֵא בְּתוֹךְ הָעִיר וַיִּזְעַק זְעָקָה גְדֹלָה וּמָרָֽה׃
When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
וַיֵּצֵא הֲתָךְ אֶֽל-מָרְדֳּכָי אֶל-רְחוֹב הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי שַֽׁעַר-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
וְנָתוֹן הַלְּבוּשׁ וְהַסּוּס עַל-יַד-אִישׁ מִשָּׂרֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַֽפַּרְתְּמִים וְהִלְבִּישׁוּ אֶת-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הַמֶּלֶךְ חָפֵץ בִּֽיקָרוֹ וְהִרְכִּיבֻהוּ עַל-הַסּוּס בִּרְחוֹב הָעִיר וְקָֽרְאוּ לְפָנָיו כָּכָה יֵֽעָשֶׂה לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הַמֶּלֶךְ חָפֵץ בִּֽיקָרֽוֹ׃
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
וַיִּקַּח הָמָן אֶת-הַלְּבוּשׁ וְאֶת-הַסּוּס וַיַּלְבֵּשׁ אֶֽת-מָרְדֳּכָי וַיַּרְכִּיבֵהוּ בִּרְחוֹב הָעִיר וַיִּקְרָא לְפָנָיו כָּכָה יֵֽעָשֶׂה לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הַמֶּלֶךְ חָפֵץ בִּֽיקָרֽוֹ׃
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
אֲשֶׁר נָתַן הַמֶּלֶךְ לַיְּהוּדִים׀ אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל-עִיר-וָעִיר לְהִקָּהֵל וְלַֽעֲמֹד עַל-נַפְשָׁם לְהַשְׁמִיד וְלַֽהֲרֹג וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת-כָּל-חֵיל עַם וּמְדִינָה הַצָּרִים אֹתָם טַף וְנָשִׁים וּשְׁלָלָם לָבֽוֹז׃
Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
וּמָרְדֳּכַי יָצָא׀ מִלִּפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ בִּלְבוּשׁ מַלְכוּת תְּכֵלֶת וָחוּר וַֽעֲטֶרֶת זָהָב גְּדוֹלָה וְתַכְרִיךְ בּוּץ וְאַרְגָּמָן וְהָעִיר שׁוּשָׁן צָֽהֲלָה וְשָׂמֵֽחָה׃
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
וּבְכָל-מְדִינָה וּמְדִינָה וּבְכָל-עִיר וָעִיר מְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר דְּבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְדָתוֹ מַגִּיעַ שִׂמְחָה וְשָׂשׂוֹן לַיְּהוּדִים מִשְׁתֶּה וְיוֹם טוֹב וְרַבִּים מֵֽעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ מִֽתְיַהֲדִים כִּֽי-נָפַל פַּֽחַד-הַיְּהוּדִים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
נִקְהֲלוּ הַיְּהוּדִים בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם בְּכָל-מְדִינוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֳחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ לִשְׁלֹחַ יָד בִּמְבַקְשֵׁי רָֽעָתָם וְאִישׁ לֹֽא-עָמַד לִפְנֵיהֶם כִּֽי-נָפַל פַּחְדָּם עַל-כָּל-הָֽעַמִּֽים׃
The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
עַל-כֵּן הַיְּהוּדִים (הפרוזים) הַפְּרָזִים הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים בְּעָרֵי הַפְּרָזוֹת עֹשִׂים אֵת יוֹם אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר לְחֹדֶשׁ אֲדָר שִׂמְחָה וּמִשְׁתֶּה וְיוֹם טוֹב וּמִשְׁלוֹחַ מָנוֹת אִישׁ לְרֵעֵֽהוּ׃
Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
וְהַיָּמִים הָאֵלֶּה נִזְכָּרִים וְנַֽעֲשִׂים בְּכָל-דּוֹר וָדוֹר מִשְׁפָּחָה וּמִשְׁפָּחָה מְדִינָה וּמְדִינָה וְעִיר וָעִיר וִימֵי הַפּוּרִים הָאֵלֶּה לֹא יַֽעַבְרוּ מִתּוֹךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וְזִכְרָם לֹֽא-יָסוּף מִזַּרְעָֽם׃
And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
וַיִּשְׁכּוֹן׀ עָרִים נִכְחָדוֹת בָּתִּים לֹא-יֵשְׁבוּ לָמוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִתְעַתְּדוּ לְגַלִּֽים׃
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
מֵעִיר מְתִים׀ יִנְאָקוּ וְנֶֽפֶשׁ-חֲלָלִים תְּשַׁוֵּעַ וֶאֱלוֹהַּ לֹא-יָשִׂים תִּפְלָֽה׃
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
הָֽאוֹיֵב׀ תַּמּוּ חֳרָבוֹת לָנֶצַח וְעָרִים נָתַשְׁתָּ אָבַד זִכְרָם הֵֽמָּה׃
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה כִּי הִפְלִיא חַסְדּוֹ לִי בְּעִיר מָצֽוֹר׃
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
נָהָר פְּלָגָיו יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר-אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשׁ מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיֽוֹן׃
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
גָּדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר-קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עַד-עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה׃
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
בַּלַּע אֲדֹנָי פַּלַּג לְשׁוֹנָם כִּֽי-רָאִיתִי חָמָס וְרִיב בָּעִֽיר׃
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
יָשׁוּבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
וְיָשֻׁבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
מִי יֹבִלֵנִי עִיר מָצוֹר מִי נָחַנִי עַד-אֱדֽוֹם׃
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
כִּי אֱלֹהִים׀ יוֹשִׁיעַ צִיּוֹן וְיִבְנֶה עָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְיָשְׁבוּ שָׁם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
יְהִי פִסַּת-בַּר׀ בָּאָרֶץ בְּרֹאשׁ הָרִים יִרְעַשׁ כַּלְּבָנוֹן פִּרְיוֹ וְיָצִיצוּ מֵעִיר כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
נִכְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃
Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
לַבְּקָרִים אַצְמִית כָּל-רִשְׁעֵי-אָרֶץ לְהַכְרִית מֵֽעִיר-יְהוָה כָּל-פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
וַיַּֽדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל-עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכוֹנְנוּ עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
מִי יֹבִלֵנִי עִיר מִבְצָר מִי נָחַנִי עַד-אֱדֽוֹם׃
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
יְרוּשָׁלִַם הַבְּנוּיָה כְּעִיר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה-לָּהּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
אִם-יְהוָה׀ לֹא-יִבְנֶה בַיִת שָׁוְא עָמְלוּ בוֹנָיו בּוֹ אִם-יְהוָה לֹֽא-יִשְׁמָר-עִיר שָׁוְא׀ שָׁקַד שׁוֹמֵֽר׃
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
בְּרֹאשׁ הֹמִיּוֹת תִּקְרָא בְּפִתְחֵי שְׁעָרִים בָּעִיר אֲמָרֶיהָ תֹאמֵֽר׃
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
טוֹב אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם מִגִּבּוֹר וּמֹשֵׁל בְּרוּחוֹ מִלֹּכֵד עִֽיר׃
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
עִיר גִּבֹּרִים עָלָה חָכָם וַיֹּרֶד עֹז מִבְטֶחָֽה׃
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
עִיר פְּרוּצָה אֵין חוֹמָה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֵין מַעְצָר לְרוּחֽוֹ׃
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
הַֽחָכְמָה תָּעֹז לֶחָכָם מֵֽעֲשָׂרָה שַׁלִּיטִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בָּעִֽיר׃
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
וּבְכֵן רָאִיתִי רְשָׁעִים קְבֻרִים וָבָאוּ וּמִמְּקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ יְהַלֵּכוּ וְיִֽשְׁתַּכְּחוּ בָעִיר אֲשֶׁר כֵּן-עָשׂוּ גַּם-זֶה הָֽבֶל׃
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
עִיר קְטַנָּה וַאֲנָשִׁים בָּהּ מְעָט וּבָֽא-אֵלֶיהָ מֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל וְסָבַב אֹתָהּ וּבָנָה עָלֶיהָ מְצוֹדִים גְּדֹלִֽים׃
There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
וּמָצָא בָהּ אִישׁ מִסְכֵּן חָכָם וּמִלַּט-הוּא אֶת-הָעִיר בְּחָכְמָתוֹ וְאָדָם לֹא זָכַר אֶת-הָאִישׁ הַמִּסְכֵּן הַהֽוּא׃
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
עֲמַל הַכְּסִילִים תְּיַגְּעֶנּוּ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יָדַע לָלֶכֶת אֶל-עִֽיר׃
The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
אָקוּמָה נָּא וַאֲסוֹבְבָה בָעִיר בַּשְּׁוָקִים וּבָרְחֹבוֹת אֲבַקְשָׁה אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי בִּקַּשְׁתִּיו וְלֹא מְצָאתִֽיו׃
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
מְצָאוּנִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַסֹּבְבִים בָּעִיר אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי רְאִיתֶֽם׃
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
מְצָאֻנִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַסֹּבְבִים בָּעִיר הִכּוּנִי פְצָעוּנִי נָשְׂאוּ אֶת-רְדִידִי מֵֽעָלַי שֹׁמְרֵי הַחֹמֽוֹת׃
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
אַרְצְכֶם שְׁמָמָה עָרֵיכֶם שְׂרֻפוֹת אֵשׁ אַדְמַתְכֶם לְנֶגְדְּכֶם זָרִים אֹכְלִים אֹתָהּ וּשְׁמָמָה כְּמַהְפֵּכַת זָרִֽים׃
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
וְנוֹתְרָה בַת-צִיּוֹן כְּסֻכָּה בְכָרֶם כִּמְלוּנָה בְמִקְשָׁה כְּעִיר נְצוּרָֽה׃
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
וְאָשִׁיבָה שֹׁפְטַיִךְ כְּבָרִאשֹׁנָה וְיֹעֲצַיִךְ כְּבַתְּחִלָּה אַחֲרֵי-כֵן יִקָּרֵא לָךְ עִיר הַצֶּדֶק קִרְיָה נֶאֱמָנָֽה׃
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
וָאֹמַר עַד-מָתַי אֲדֹנָי וַיֹּאמֶר עַד אֲשֶׁר אִם-שָׁאוּ עָרִים מֵאֵין יוֹשֵׁב וּבָתִּים מֵאֵין אָדָם וְהָאֲדָמָה תִּשָּׁאֶה שְׁמָמָֽה׃
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
שָׂם תֵּבֵל כַּמִּדְבָּר וְעָרָיו הָרָס אֲסִירָיו לֹא-פָתַח בָּֽיְתָה׃
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
הָכִינוּ לְבָנָיו מַטְבֵּחַ בַּעֲוֺן אֲבוֹתָם בַּל-יָקֻמוּ וְיָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּמָלְאוּ פְנֵֽי-תֵבֵל עָרִֽים׃
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
הֵילִילִֽי שַׁעַר זַֽעֲקִי-עִיר נָמוֹג פְּלֶשֶׁת כֻּלֵּךְ כִּי מִצָּפוֹן עָשָׁן בָּא וְאֵין בּוֹדֵד בְּמוֹעָדָֽיו׃
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
מַשָּׂא דַּמָּשֶׂק הִנֵּה דַמֶּשֶׂק מוּסָר מֵעִיר וְהָיְתָה מְעִי מַפָּלָֽה׃
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
עֲזֻבוֹת עָרֵי עֲרֹעֵר לַעֲדָרִים תִּֽהְיֶינָה וְרָבְצוּ וְאֵין מַחֲרִֽיד׃
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיוּ׀ עָרֵי מָעוּזּוֹ כַּעֲזוּבַת הַחֹרֶשׁ וְהָאָמִיר אֲשֶׁר עָזְבוּ מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהָיְתָה שְׁמָמָֽה׃
In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
וְסִכְסַכְתִּי מִצְרַיִם בְּמִצְרַיִם וְנִלְחֲמוּ אִישׁ-בְּאָחִיו וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ עִיר בְּעִיר מַמְלָכָה בְּמַמְלָכָֽה׃
And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיוּ חָמֵשׁ עָרִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם מְדַבְּרוֹת שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן וְנִשְׁבָּעוֹת לַיהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִיר הַהֶרֶס יֵאָמֵר לְאֶחָֽת׃
In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
תְּשֻׁאוֹת׀ מְלֵאָה עִיר הֽוֹמִיָּה קִרְיָה עַלִּיזָה חֲלָלַיִךְ לֹא חַלְלֵי-חֶרֶב וְלֹא מֵתֵי מִלְחָמָֽה׃
Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
וְאֵת בְּקִיעֵי עִיר-דָּוִד רְאִיתֶם כִּי-רָבּוּ וַֽתְּקַבְּצוּ אֶת-מֵי הַבְּרֵכָה הַתַּחְתּוֹנָֽה׃
Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
קְחִי כִנּוֹר סֹבִּי עִיר זוֹנָה נִשְׁכָּחָה הֵיטִיבִי נַגֵּן הַרְבִּי-שִׁיר לְמַעַן תִּזָּכֵֽרִי׃
Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
נִשְׁאַר בָּעִיר שַׁמָּה וּשְׁאִיָּה יֻכַּת-שָֽׁעַר׃
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
כִּי שַׂמְתָּ מֵעִיר לַגָּל קִרְיָה בְצוּרָה לְמַפֵּלָה אַרְמוֹן זָרִים מֵעִיר לְעוֹלָם לֹא יִבָּנֶֽה׃
For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יוּשַׁר הַשִּׁיר-הַזֶּה בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה עִיר עָז-לָנוּ יְשׁוּעָה יָשִׁית חוֹמוֹת וָחֵֽל׃
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
כִּי עִיר בְּצוּרָה בָּדָד נָוֶה מְשֻׁלָּח וְנֶעֱזָב כַּמִּדְבָּר שָׁם יִרְעֶה עֵגֶל וְשָׁם יִרְבָּץ וְכִלָּה סְעִפֶֽיהָ׃
Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
כִּֽי-אַרְמוֹן נֻטָּשׁ הֲמוֹן עִיר עֻזָּב עֹפֶל וָבַחַן הָיָה בְעַד מְעָרוֹת עַד-עוֹלָם מְשׂוֹשׂ פְּרָאִים מִרְעֵה עֲדָרִֽים׃
Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
וּבָרַד בְּרֶדֶת הַיָּעַר וּבַשִּׁפְלָה תִּשְׁפַּל הָעִֽיר׃
When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
נָשַׁמּוּ מְסִלּוֹת שָׁבַת עֹבֵר אֹרַח הֵפֵר בְּרִית מָאַס עָרִים לֹא חָשַׁב אֱנֽוֹשׁ׃
The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
וַיְהִי בְּאַרְבַּע עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ חִזְקִיָּהוּ עָלָה סַנְחֵרִיב מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר עַל כָּל-עָרֵי יְהוּדָה הַבְּצֻרוֹת וַֽיִּתְפְּשֵֽׂם׃
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
וְאַל-יַבְטַח אֶתְכֶם חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶל-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר הַצֵּל יַצִּילֵנוּ יְהוָה לֹא תִנָּתֵן הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
אַיֵּה מֶֽלֶךְ-חֲמָת וּמֶלֶךְ אַרְפָּד וּמֶלֶךְ לָעִיר סְפַרְוָיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּֽה׃
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
הֲלֽוֹא-שָׁמַעְתָּ לְמֵֽרָחוֹק אוֹתָהּ עָשִׂיתִי מִימֵי קֶדֶם וִיצַרְתִּיהָ עַתָּה הֲבֵאתִיהָ וּתְהִי לְהַשְׁאוֹת גַּלִּים נִצִּים עָרִים בְּצֻרֽוֹת׃
Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֶל-מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר לֹא יָבוֹא אֶל-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְלֹֽא-יוֹרֶה שָׁם חֵץ וְלֹֽא-יְקַדְּמֶנָּה מָגֵן וְלֹֽא-יִשְׁפֹּךְ עֳלֶיהָ סֹלְלָֽה׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
