- Deuteronomy 32:1
הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וַאֲדַבֵּרָה וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ אִמְרֵי־פִי׃
Give ear, O heavens, let me speak; Let the earth hear the words I utter!
Targum Onkelos
אַצִּיתוּ שְׁמַיָּא וַאֲמַלֵּיל וְתִשְׁמַע אַרְעָא מֵימְרֵי פוּמִּי׃
Hearken, O heaven as I declare, let the earth hear my mouth’s sayings.
- Deuteronomy 32:2
יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר לִקְחִי תִּזַּל כַּטַּל אִמְרָתִי כִּשְׂעִירִם עֲלֵי־דֶשֶׁא וְכִרְבִיבִים עֲלֵי־עֵשֶׂב׃
May my discourse come down as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, Like showers on young growth, Like droplets on the grass.
Targum Onkelos
יִבְסַם כְּמִטְרָא אוּלְפָנִי יִתְקַבַּל כְּטַלָּא מֵימְרִי כְּרוּחֵי מִטְרָא דְּנָשְׁבִין עַל דִּתְאָה וְכִרְסִיסֵי מַלְקוֹשָׁא דְּעַל עִשְׂבָּא׃
Let my instruction flow [be fragrant] like rainfall, let my saying drip [be accepted] like dew; like storm winds [blowing] on verdure, and like raindrops [the traces of the last rainfall] on grass.
- Deuteronomy 32:3
כִּי שֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא הָבוּ גֹדֶל לֵאלֹהֵינוּ׃
For the name of the ETERNAL I proclaim; Give glory to our God!
Targum Onkelos
אֲרֵי בִּשְׁמָא דַּייָ אֲנָא מְצַלֵּי הַבוּ רְבוּתָא קֳדָם אֱלָהַנָא׃
When I pronounce [pray in] the name of [before] Adonoy, give greatness to our God,
- Deuteronomy 32:4
הַצּוּר תָּמִים פׇּעֳלוֹ כִּי כׇל־דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט אֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר הוּא׃
The Rock!—whose deeds are perfect, Yea, all of whose ways are just; A faithful God, never false, True and upright indeed.
Targum Onkelos
תַּקִּיפָא דְּשָׁלְמִין עוֹבָדוֹהִי אֲרֵי כָל אוֹרְחָתֵיהּ דִּינָא אֱלָהָא מְהֵימְנָא דְּמִן קֳדָמוֹהִי עַוְלָא לָא נָפֵיק מִן קֳדָם דְּזַכַּאי וְקַשִּׁיט הוּא׃
The Almighty’s works are flawless [perfect], for all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness without [from before Him] injustice [does not eminate from before Him]; righteous and upright is He.
- Deuteronomy 32:5
שִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹא בָּנָיו מוּמָם דּוֹר עִקֵּשׁ וּפְתַלְתֹּל׃
Unworthy children— That crooked, perverse generation— Their baseness has played God false.
Targum Onkelos
חַבִּילוּ לְהוֹן לָא לֵיהּ בְּנַיָּא דִּפְלַחוּ לְטָעֲוָתָא דָּרָא דְּאַשְׁנִי עוֹבָדוֹהִי וְאִשְׁתַּנַּיוּ׃
Destructiveness does not affect Him, it is the defect of His children [who prayed to idols]; a generation [that changed its activities and became changed] warped and twisted.
- Deuteronomy 32:6
הַ לְיְהֹוָה תִּגְמְלוּ־זֹאת עַם נָבָל וְלֹא חָכָם הֲלוֹא־הוּא אָבִיךָ קָּנֶךָ הוּא עָשְׂךָ וַיְכֹנְנֶךָ׃
Do you thus requite GOD, O dull and witless people? Is not this the Father who created you— Fashioned you and made you endure!
Targum Onkelos
הָא קֳדָם יְיָ אַתּוּן גָּמְלִין דָּא עַמָּא דְּקַבִּילוּ אוֹרָיְתָא וְלָא חֲכִימוּ הֲלָא הוּא אֲבוּךְ אַתְּ דִּילֵיהּ הוּא עָבְדָךְ וְאַתְקְנָךְ׃
Is it with [before] Adonoy that you deal this way? base people [who received the Torah and are] lacking wisdom. Is He not your Father, who made you His? He made you and gave you a base.
