54:1

רׇנִּי עֲקָרָה לֹא יָלָדָה פִּצְחִי רִנָּה וְצַֽהֲלִי לֹא־חָלָה כִּֽי־רַבִּים בְּֽנֵי־שׁוֹמֵמָה מִבְּנֵי בְעוּלָה אָמַר יְהֹוָֽה׃

Sing, O barren one, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, says the Lord.

רני עקרה. ירושלים אשר היתה כלא ילדה:

לא חלה. ל' לידה הוא שהיולדת על ידי חיל וחבלי' יולדת:

מבני בעולה. בת אדום:

54:2

הַרְחִיבִי ׀ מְקוֹם אׇהֳלֵךְ וִירִיעוֹת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתַיִךְ יַטּוּ אַל־תַּחְשֹׂכִי הַאֲרִיכִי מֵיתָרַיִךְ וִיתֵדֹתַיִךְ חַזֵּֽקִי׃

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

יטו. למרחוק:

מיתריך. הם חבלים דקים התלוים בשולי אהלים וקושרי' ביתדות שקורין קביל"ס בלע"ז ותוקעין בארץ:

54:3

כִּֽי־יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול תִּפְרֹצִי וְזַרְעֵךְ גּוֹיִם יִירָשׁ וְעָרִים נְשַׁמּוֹת יוֹשִֽׁיבוּ׃

for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and make desolate cities to be inhabited.

54:4

אַל־תִּֽירְאִי כִּֽי־לֹא תֵבוֹשִׁי וְאַל־תִּכָּלְמִי כִּי לֹא תַחְפִּירִי כִּי בֹשֶׁת עֲלוּמַיִךְ תִּשְׁכָּחִי וְחֶרְפַּת אַלְמְנוּתַיִךְ לֹא תִזְכְּרִי־עֽוֹד׃

Fear not; for thou shall not be ashamed: neither be confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: but thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

כִּי בֹעֲלַיִךְ עֹשַׂיִךְ יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁמוֹ וְגֹֽאֲלֵךְ קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהֵי כׇל־הָאָרֶץ יִקָּרֵֽא׃

כי תמאס. כשתמאס פעמים שכועס עליה מעט:

54:7

בְּרֶגַע קָטֹן עֲזַבְתִּיךְ וּבְרַחֲמִים גְּדֹלִים אֲקַבְּצֵֽךְ׃

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

בְּשֶׁצֶף קֶצֶף הִסְתַּרְתִּי פָנַי רֶגַע מִמֵּךְ וּבְחֶסֶד עוֹלָם רִחַמְתִּיךְ אָמַר גֹּאֲלֵךְ יְהֹוָֽה׃ {ס}        

In the overflowing of wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting faithful love will I have mercy on thee, says thy redeemer, the Lord.

ובחסד עולם. שיתקיים עד עולם:
