Chapter 22

1The “Valley of Vision” Pronouncement. What can have happened to you That you have gone, all of you, up on the roofs,

ma-SA gay KHEE-za-YOHN mah-LAKH ay-FO ka-ee-LEET koo-LAKH la-ga-GOT

אמַשָּׂ֖א גֵּ֣יא חִזָּי֑וֹן מַה־לָּ֣ךְ אֵפ֔וֹא כִּי־עָלִ֥ית כֻּלָּ֖ךְ לַגַּגּֽוֹת׃

2O you who were full of tumult, You clamorous town, You city so gay? Your slain are not the slain of the sword Nor the dead of battle.

T'-shu-OT m'-le-AH ir ho-mi-YAH kir-YAH a-li-ZAH kha-la-LA-yikh lo khal-l'-khe-rev v'-lo may-tay mil-kha-MAH

3Your officers have all departed, They fled far away; Your survivors were all taken captive, Taken captive without their bows.

KOL-k'-tzi-NA-yikh na-D'-du YA-khad mi-KE-shet u-SA-ru, kol nim-TZA-yikh u-SE-ru YA-kh'-dav may-RA-khok ba-RA-khu.

4That is why I say, “Let me be, I will weep bitterly. Press not to comfort me For the ruin of my poor people.”

al-KEN a-MAR-tee, sh'-U mi-NEE a-ma-RAYR ba-BE-khee, al-ta-EE-tzu l'-na-cha-MAY-nee, al-SHOD bat-a-MEE

5For my Lord God of Hosts had a day Of tumult and din and confusion— Kir raged in the Valley of Vision, And Shoa on the hill;

ki YOM m'-HU-ma u-m'-vu-SA u-m'-vu-KHA la-a-do-NAI y'-ho-VA tz'-va-OT b'-GEI chi-ZA-yon m'-kar-KAR KIR v'-sho-A el ha-HAR

6While Elam bore the quiver In troops of mounted men, And Kir bared the shield—

v'-EY-lam NA-sa ash-PAH b'-RE-khev a-DAM pa-RA-shim v'-KIR e-RAH ma-GEN

ווְעֵילָם֙ נָשָׂ֣א אַשְׁפָּ֔ה בְּרֶ֥כֶב אָדָ֖ם פָּרָשִׁ֑ים וְקִ֥יר עֵרָ֖ה מָגֵֽן׃

7And your choicest lowlands Were filled with chariots and horsemen: They stormed at Yehuda's* gateway

vai-HI mi-v'-KHAR a-ma-KAYKH ma-l'-U ra-KHEV v'-ha-pa-RA-sheem SHOT sha-TO ha-sho-a-RAH

8And pressed beyond its screen. You gave thought on that day To the arms in the Forest House,

va-y'-GAL et ma-SAKH y'-hu-DAH va-ta-BET ba-YOM ha-HU el NE-shekh bayt ha-ya-AR

חוַיְגַ֕ל אֵ֖ת מָסַ֣ךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַתַּבֵּט֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא אֶל־נֶ֖שֶׁק בֵּ֥ית הַיָּֽעַר׃

9And you took note of the many breaches In the City of David. And you collected the water of the Lower Pool;

v'-ET b'-ki-EY-ee ir-da-VID ree-TEM ki-ra-BOO va-t'-ka-B'-TZU et-may ha-b'-RAY-kha ha-takh-TO-nah

טוְאֵ֨ת בְּקִיעֵ֧י עִיר־דָּוִ֛ד רְאִיתֶ֖ם כִּי־רָ֑בּוּ וַֽתְּקַבְּצ֔וּ אֶת־מֵ֥י הַבְּרֵכָ֖ה הַתַּחְתּוֹנָֽה׃

10and you counted the houses of Yerushalayim and pulled houses down to fortify the wall;

v'-et ba-TEI ye-ru-sha-LA-im se-far-TEM va-tit-TZU ha-ba-TEEM l'-va-tseir ha-cho-MAH

11and you constructed a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you gave no thought to Him who planned it, You took no note of Him who designed it long before.

12My Lord God of Hosts summoned on that day To weeping and lamenting, To tonsuring and girding with sackcloth.

13Instead, there was rejoicing and merriment, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

v'-hi-NEH sa-SOHN v'-sim-KHA ha-ROG ba-KAR v'-sha-KHOT tso-AN a-KHOL ba-SAHR v'-sha-TOT ya-YIN a-KHOL v'-sha-TO kee ma-KHAR na-MUT

14Then the lord of Hosts revealed Himself to my ears: “This iniquity shall never be forgiven you Until you die,” said my Lord God of Hosts.

v'-ni-g'-LAH b'-oZ-NAI a-do-NAI t'-va-OT, im y'-KU-par he-a-VON ha-ZEH la-KHEM ad t'-mu-TUN, a-MAR a-do-NAI y'-ho-VAH t'-va-OT.

15Thus said my Lord God of Hosts: Go in to see that steward, that Shebna, in charge of the palace:

KO a-MAR a-do-NAI y'-ho-VAH t'-va-OT, LEKH-BO el ha-so-KHEN ha-ZEH al SHE-v'NA a-SHER al ha-BA-yit.

16What have you here, and whom have you here, That you have hewn out a tomb for yourself here?— O you who have hewn your tomb on high; O you who have hollowed out for yourself an abode in the cliff!

17Hashem is about to shake you Severely, fellow, and then wrap you around Himself.

18Indeed, He will wind you about Him as a headdress, a turban. Off to a broad land! There shall you die, and there shall be the chariots bearing your body, O shame of your master's house!

19For I will hurl you from your station And you shall be torn down from your stand.

20And in that day, I will summon My servant Eliakim son of Chilkiyahu,

21and I will invest him with your tunic, gird him with your sash, and deliver your authority into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim and the men of Yehuda.

22I will place the keys of David's palace on his shoulders; and what he unlocks none may shut, and what he locks none may open.

23He shall be a seat of honor to his father's household. I will fix him as a peg in a firm place,

24on which all the substance of his father's household shall be hung: the sprouts and the leaves—all the small vessels, from bowls to all sorts of jars.

25In that day—declares the lord of Hosts—the peg fixed in a firm place shall give way: it shall be cut down and shall fall, and the weight it supports shall be destroyed. For it is Hashem who has spoken.
