“Con este Fallo, el Tribunal Ha Violado el Derecho de las Democracias a Defenderse del Terrorismo…” – PM Benjamin Netanyahu

“La decisión de ayer de la Corte Penal Internacional distorsiona el derecho internacional y convierte a esta institución en una herramienta política de propaganda anti-Israelí.” – Gaby Ashkenaz

Tehillim – Psalms – Chapter 37

1 Of David. Do not compete with the evildoers; do not envy those who commit injustice. אלְדָוִ֨ד | אַל־תִּתְחַ֥ר בַּמְּרֵעִ֑ים אַל־תְּ֜קַנֵּ֗א בְּעֹשֵׂ֥י עַוְלָֽה:
2 For they will be speedily cut off like grass and wither like green vegetation. בכִּ֥י כֶֽ֖חָצִיר מְהֵרָ֣ה יִמָּ֑לוּ וּכְיֶ֥רֶק דֶּ֜֗שֶׁא יִבּוֹלֽוּן:
3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and be nourished by faith. גבְּטַ֥ח בַּֽ֖יהֹוָה וַֽעֲשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב שְׁכָן־אֶ֜֗רֶץ וּרְעֵ֥ה אֱמוּנָֽה:
4 So shall you delight in the Lord, and He will give you what your heart desires. דוְהִתְעַנַּ֥ג עַל־יְהֹוָ֑ה וְיִֽתֶּן־לְ֜ךָ֗ מִשְׁאֲלֹ֥ת לִבֶּֽךָ:
5 Commit your way to the Lord, and trust in Him and He will act. הגּ֣וֹל עַל־יְהֹוָ֣ה דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ וּבְטַ֥ח עָ֜לָ֗יו וְה֣וּא יַֽעֲשֶֽׂה:
6 And He will reveal your righteousness like the light, and your judgments like noon. ווְהוֹצִ֣יא כָא֣וֹר צִדְקֶ֑ךָ וּ֜מִשְׁפָּטֶ֗ךָ כַּֽצָּֽהֳרָֽיִם:
7 Wait for the Lord and hope for Him; do not compete with one whose way prospers, with a man who executes malicious plans. זדּ֚וֹם֙ | לַֽיהֹוָה֘ וְהִתְח֪וֹלֵ֫ל ל֥וֹ אַל־תִּ֖תְחַר בְּמַצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכּ֑וֹ בְּ֜אִ֗ישׁ עֹשֶׂ֥ה מְזִמּֽוֹת:
8Desist from anger and forsake wrath; do not compete only to do evil. חהֶ֣רֶף מֵ֖אַף וַֽעֲזֹ֣ב חֵמָ֑ה אַל־תִּ֜תְחַ֗ר אַךְ־לְהָרֵֽעַ:
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, and those who hope for the Lord-they will inherit the land. טכִּֽי־מְרֵעִ֥ים יִכָּֽרֵת֑וּן וְקוֵֹ֥י יְ֜הֹוָ֗ה הֵ֣מָּה יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָֽרֶץ:
10 A short while longer and the wicked man is not here, and you shall look at his place and he is not there. יוְע֣וֹד מְ֖עַט וְאֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע וְהִתְבּוֹנַ֖נְתָּ עַל־מְקוֹמ֣וֹ וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ:
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and they shall delight in much peace. יאוַֽעֲנָוִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ וְ֜הִתְעַנְּג֗וּ עַל־רֹ֥ב שָׁלֽוֹם:
12 The wicked man plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him. יבזֹמֵ֣ם רָ֖שָׁע לַצַּדִּ֑יק וְחֹרֵ֖ק עָלָ֣יו שִׁנָּֽיו:
13The Lord will scoff at him because He saw that his day will come. יגאֲדֹנָ֥י יִשְׂחַק־ל֑וֹ כִּֽי־רָ֜אָ֗ה כִּֽי־יָבֹ֥א יוֹמֽוֹ:
14 The wicked initiated war and bent their bow to cast down the poor and the needy, to slay those who walk on a straight path. ידחֶ֚רֶב | פָּֽתְח֣וּ רְשָׁעִים֘ וְדָֽרְכ֪וּ קַ֫שְׁתָּ֥ם לְ֖הַפִּיל עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן לִ֜טְב֗וֹחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְ:
15 Their sword shall enter their heart, and their bows shall be broken. טוחַרְבָּם תָּב֣וֹא בְלִבָּ֑ם וְ֜קַשְּׁתוֹתָ֗ם תִּשָּׁבַֽרְנָה:
16 The few of the righteous are better than the multitude of many wicked men. טזט֣וֹב מְ֖עַט לַצַּדִּ֑יק מֵֽ֜הֲמ֗וֹן רְשָׁעִ֥ים רַבִּֽים:
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord supports the righteous. יזכִּ֚י זְרוֹע֣וֹת רְ֖שָׁעִים תִּשָּׁבַ֑רְנָה וְסוֹמֵ֖ךְ צַדִּיקִ֣ים יְהֹוָֽה:
18 The Lord knows the days of the innocent, and their inheritance will be forever. יחיוֹדֵ֣עַ יְ֖הֹוָה יְמֵ֣י תְמִימִ֑ם וְ֜נַֽחֲלָתָ֗ם לְעוֹלָ֥ם תִּֽהְיֶֽה:
19 They will not be ashamed in time of calamity, and in days of famine they shall still be satisfied. יטלֹֽא־יֵ֖בֹשׁוּ בְּעֵ֣ת רָעָ֑ה וּבִימֵ֖י רְעָב֣וֹן יִשְׂבָּֽעוּ:
20 For the wicked will perish, and the enemies of the Lord are like disappearing light on the plains; they are consumed in smoke, yea they are consumed. ככִּ֚י רְשָׁעִ֨ים | יֹאבֵ֗דוּ וְאֹֽיְבֵ֣י יְ֖הֹוָה כִּיקַ֣ר כָּרִ֑ים כָּל֖וּ בֶֽעָשָׁ֣ן כָּֽלוּ:
21 A wicked man borrows and does not pay, but the Righteous one is gracious and gives. כאלוֶֹ֣ה רָ֖שָׁע וְלֹ֣א יְשַׁלֵּ֑ם וְ֜צַדִּ֗יק חוֹנֵ֥ן וְנוֹתֵֽן:
22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, and those cursed by Him will be cut off. כבכִּ֣י מְ֖בֹֽרָכָיו יִ֣ירְשׁוּ אָ֑רֶץ וּ֜מְקֻלָּלָ֗יו יִכָּרֵֽתוּ:
23 From the Lord a mighty man’s steps are established, for He delights in his way. כגמֵֽיְהֹוָה מִֽצְעֲדֵי־גֶ֥בֶר כּוֹנָ֗נוּ וְדַרְכּ֥וֹ יֶחְפָּֽץ:
24 If he falls, he will not be cast down, for the Lord supports his hand. כדכִּֽי־יִפֹּ֥ל לֹֽא־יוּטָ֑ל כִּֽי־יְ֜הֹוָ֗ה סוֹמֵ֥ךְ יָדֽוֹ:
25 I was young, I also aged, and I have not seen a righteous man forsaken and his seed seeking bread. כהנַ֚עַר | הָיִ֗יתִי גַּם־זָ֫קַ֥נְתִּי וְֽלֹא־רָ֖אִיתִי צַדִּ֣יק נֶֽעֱזָ֑ב וְ֜זַרְע֗וֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶם:
26 All day long he is gracious and lends, and his seed is due for a blessing. כוכָּל־ הַ֖יּוֹם חוֹנֵ֣ן וּמַלְוֶ֑ה וְ֜זַרְע֗וֹ לִבְרָכָֽה:
27 Shun evil and do good, and dwell forever. כזס֣וּר מֵ֖רָע וַֽעֲשֵׂה־ט֜֗וֹב וּשְׁכֹ֥ן לְעוֹלָֽם:
28 For the Lord loves justice, and He shall not forsake His pious ones; they will be guarded forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. כחכִּ֚י יְהֹוָ֨ה | אֹ֘הֵ֚ב מִשְׁפָּ֗ט וְלֹא־יַֽעֲזֹ֣ב אֶת־חֲ֖סִידָיו לְעוֹלָ֣ם נִשְׁמָ֑רוּ וְזֶ֖רַע רְשָׁעִ֣ים נִכְרָֽת:
29 The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell forever in it. כטצַדִּיקִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ וְיִשְׁכְּנ֖וּ לָעַ֣ד עָלֶֽיהָ:
30 The righteous man’s mouth utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks judgment. לפִּֽי־צַ֖דִּיק יֶהְגֶּ֣ה חָכְמָ֑ה וּ֜לְשׁוֹנ֗וֹ תְּדַבֵּ֥ר מִשְׁפָּֽט:
31 The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not falter. לאתּוֹרַ֣ת אֱלֹהָ֣יו בְּלִבּ֑וֹ לֹ֖א תִמְעַ֣ד אֲשֻׁרָֽיו:
32 The wicked man watches for the righteous man and seeks to put him to death. לבצוֹפֶ֣ה רָ֖שָׁע לַצַּדִּ֑יק וּ֜מְבַקֵּ֗שׁ לַֽהֲמִיתֽוֹ:
33 The Lord shall not leave him in his hands, and He shall not condemn him [the righteous] when he [the wicked] is judged. לגיְהֹוָה לֹא־יַֽעַזְבֶ֣נּוּ בְיָד֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א יַ֜רְשִׁיעֶ֗נּוּ בְּהִשָּׁפְטֽוֹ:
34 Hope to the Lord and keep His way; He will exalt you to inherit the land, and you will witness the destruction of the wicked. לדקַוֵּ֚ה אֶל־יְהֹוָ֨ה | וּשְׁמֹ֬ר דַּרְכּ֗וֹ וִירֽוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אָ֑רֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה:
35 I saw a wicked man, powerful, well-rooted as a native who is fresh. להרָאִיתִי רָשָׁ֣ע עָרִ֑יץ וּ֜מִתְעָרֶ֗ה כְּאֶזְרָ֥ח רַֽעֲנָֽן:
36 And he passed away and behold! he is not here, and I sought him and he was not found. לווַיַּֽעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּ֣ה אֵינֶ֑נּוּ וָֽ֜אֲבַקְשֵׁ֗הוּ וְלֹ֣א נִמְצָֽא:
37 Observe the innocent and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace. לזשְׁמָר־תָּ֖ם וּרְאֵ֣ה יָשָׁ֑ר כִּי־אַֽחֲרִ֖ית לְאִ֣ישׁ שָׁלֽוֹם:
38 But transgressors were destroyed together; the future of the wicked was cut off. לחוּפֹ֣שְׁעִים נִשְׁמְד֣וּ יַחְדָּ֑ו אַֽחֲרִ֖ית רְשָׁעִ֣ים נִכְרָֽתָה:
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord, their stronghold in time of distress. לטוּתְשׁוּעַ֣ת צַ֖דִּיקִים מֵֽיְהֹוָ֑ה מָֽ֜עוּזָּ֗ם בְּעֵ֣ת צָרָֽה:
40 The Lord helped them and rescued them; He rescued them from the wicked and saved them because they took refuge in Him. מוַיַּעְזְרֵ֥ם יְהֹוָ֗ה וַיְפַ֫לְּטֵ֥ם יְפַלְּטֵ֣ם מֵֽ֖רְשָׁעִים וְיֽוֹשִׁיעֵ֑ם כִּ֖י חָ֣סוּ בֽוֹ:

Los Salmos 37(12-15)

12 El inicuo trama maldad contra el recto, y se burla de él mostrándole los dientes.

(13) Pero el Señor se ríe de él porque ve que su día se acerca.

(14) Los inicuos esgrimen la espada e inclinan su arco para derribar al pobre y al menesteroso, y matar a los justos del camino.

(15) Pero su espada entrará en su propio corazón, y sus arcos se romperán.

Shabbat Shalom

Haftarah:

Isaiah 6:1-13

Yitro in a Nutshell

Exodus 18:1–20:23 

En el año en que murió el rey Uzías (Uziyahu), vi al Señor sentado sobre su trono eminente y su manto henchía el Templo.

(2) Sobre Él estaban los serafines; cada uno tenía seis alas, dos cubrian su rostro, dos cubrían sus pìes y dos para volar.

(3) Y se gritaban unos a otros, exclamandose:”¿Santo, santo, santo es el Eterno de los Ejércitos . La tierra esta pletórica de Su gloria!”

(4) Y temblaban los quiciales de la puerta ante la voz de quienes gritaban, y la Casa estaba saturada de humo.

(5) Entonces dije: “¡Ay de mí que estoy perdido ya que soy hombre de labios impuros y vivo  en medio de un pueblo de labios impuros ya que he visto al Rey, al Eterno de los Ejercitos!”.

(6) Entonces, voló hacia mí uno de los serafines, con un carbón encendido en la mano que había tomado del altar con pinzas.

(7) y tocó mi boca con él diciendo: “He aquí esto a tocado tus labios y tu iniquidad te ha sido quitada, tu pecado ha sido expiado”.

(8) Y oí la voz del Señor, diciendo:”¿A quién y quién ha de ir por nosotros?”; y respondí: “Aquí estoy, Envíame”.

(9) Y contestó Él: Vete y dile a tu pueblo: “Oíd, mas no comprendáis; mirad pero no conozcáis!”.

(10) Embota el corazón de este pueblo, endurece sus oídos y cierra los ojos para que viendo con sus ojos, oyendo con sus oídos y comprendiendo con su corazón, no retorne si sea sanado”.

(11) Y le pregunté: “¿Por cuánto tiempo, oh Señor?”, y contestó: “Hasta que las ciudades queden sin habitantes y las casas sin moradores y que la tierra sea desolación total;

(12) hasta que el Eterno haya alejado a los hombres y que los sitios abandonados sean muchos en medio de la tierra.

(13) Y si todavía quede en ella la décima parte, ésta volverá a ser destruida. Mas como la encima y el roble cuya cepa queda aun cuando arrojen las hojas, así la santa primogenitura ha de quedar también!.
