מִֽי־שָׁמַ֣ע כָּזֹ֗את מִ֤י רָאָה֙ כָּאֵ֔לֶּה הֲי֤וּחַל אֶ֙רֶץ֙ בְּי֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד אִם־יִוָּ֥לֵֽד גּ֖וֹי פַּ֣עַם אֶחָ֑ת כִּֽי־חָ֛לָה גַּם־יָלְדָ֥ה צִיּ֖וֹן אֶת־בָּנֶֽיהָ׃
Sino ang nakarinig ng ganito? Sino ang nakakita ng mga ganitong bagay? Maisisilang ba ang isang lupain sa loob lamang ng isang araw? Maisisilang ba nang minsanan ang isang bansa? Ngunit sa sandaling makaramdam ng sakit ng panganganak ang Zion, isinilang na rin niya ang kanyang mga anak.
Rashi
you were dug Heb. נֻקַּרְתֶּם, an expression similar to (Ex. 33.22) “The cleft (נִקְרַת) of the rock”; (Prov. 30:17) “The ravens of the brook shall pick it (יִקְּרוּהָ).” And who is the rock? He is Abraham your forefather. And who is the hole? She is Sarah who bore you. [תְּחוֹלֶלְכֶם means] ‘who bore you,’ an expression similar to (infra 66: 8) “For Zion experienced pangs (חָלָה) and also bore.”
Rashi
as a happy mother of children (Isa. 66:8): “that Zion both experienced birth pangs and bore her children.”
Ibn Ezra
He that saith to his father, etc. Or can the son before his birth say to his father, What wilt thou beget,13A. V., What begettest thou. What hast thou brought forth.13A. V., What begettest thou. What hast thou brought forth. or to the woman, that is, to his mother, what wilt thou bring forth? תחילין Thou will bring forth. Comp. כי חלה נם ילדה ציון Zion travailed, she brought forth (66:8)
