¹The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

¹Ennustus Damaskuse kohta: Vaata, Damaskus lakkab olemast linn ja muutub varemeks.

²The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

²Aroeri linnad jäetakse maha, jäävad karjadele, kes seal lebavad, ilma et ükski neid peletaks.

³The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

³Efraimist kaob kindel linn ja Damaskusest kuningriik; ja Süüria jäägiga sünnib nagu Iisraeli laste hiilgusegagi, ütleb vägede Issand.

⁴And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

⁴Sel päeval jääb väikseks Jaakobi hiilgus ja lahjub tema ihu lihavus,

⁵And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

⁵otsekui lõikaja lõikaks kasvavat vilja ja tema käsivars koristaks viljapäid, otsekui nopitaks viljapäid Refaimi orus.

⁶Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

⁶Jääb ainult järelkoristus, otsekui õlipuud raputades: kaks, kolm marja ülal ladvas, neli, viis viljapuu okstel, ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal.

⁷At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

⁷Sel päeval vaatab inimene oma Looja peale ja ta silmad näevad Iisraeli Püha.

⁸And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

⁸Ta ei vaata altareile, oma kätetööle, ega näe seda, mis ta sõrmed on teinud, ei viljakustulpi ega suitsutusaltareid.

⁹In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

⁹Sel päeval on tema tugevad linnad otsekui mahajäetud metsad ja mäetipud, mis Iisraeli laste pärast maha jäeti, ja tühjus võtab maad.

¹⁰Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

¹⁰Sest sa unustasid oma Pääste-Jumala ega tuletanud meelde oma kindlat kaljut. Seepärast sa siis istutad Adonise aedu ja juurutad võõraid pistikuid.

¹¹In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

¹¹Istutamispäeval sa paned nad kasvama ja viid hommikuks oma külvi õitsema, kuid lõikus kaob tõve ja vaigistamatu valu päeval.

¹²Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

¹²Häda! Paljude rahvaste möll. Need mühavad, otsekui mühaks meri. Rahvahõimude märatsus. Need kohavad, otsekui kohaksid võimsad veed.

¹³The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

¹³Rahvahõimud kohavad, otsekui kohaksid suured veed. Aga tema sõitleb neid ja nad põgenevad kaugele ning neid aetakse taga, otsekui tuul puhub mägedel aganaid, otsekui torm keerutab tolmu.

¹⁴And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

¹⁴Õhtul, vaata, on kabuhirm, hommiku tulles ei ole neid enam. See on meie rüüstajate osa ja meie riisujate liisk.
