¹Prorokovanje besede GOSPODOVE o deželi Hadrakovi in o Damasku, njegovem počivališču, – ker oko GOSPODOVO gleda na vse človeštvo in na vse rodove Izraelove –

²And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

²in tudi o Hamatu, ki mejači ž njim, o Tiru in Sidonu, ker je silno moder.

³And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

⁵Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

⁶And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

⁷And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁷In odpravim krvave jedi njegove iz ust njegovih in gnusobe njegove izmed njegovih zob; in tudi on, Filistejec, preostane za našega Boga in bode kakor vojvoda v Judi, in Ekron bode kakor Jebusejec.

⁸And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

⁸Jaz pa se utaborim okoli hiše svoje zoper vojsko, da ne sme nihče iti mimo ali nazaj; in noben zatiralec ne pride več nadnje; kajti sedaj sem pogledal s svojimi očmi. –

⁹Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

⁹Močno se veséli, hči sionska, ukaj, hči jeruzalemska! Glej, kralj tvoj pride k tebi: pravičen je in rešitelj [Ali: prinaša rešitev (zmago).], pohleven in sedeč na oslu, in sicer na mladem osličinem žrebetu.

¹⁰In iztrebim bojne vozove Efraima in konje iz Jeruzalema, in bojni lok bo zlomljen. In mir ukaže narodom, in gospostvo njegovo bo segalo od morja do morja in od velereke do koncev zemlje.

¹¹As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

¹¹Tebi pa izpustim zavoljo krvi zaveze tvoje jetnike tvoje iz jame, v kateri ni vode.

¹²Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

¹²Obrnite se k trdnjavi, ki ste jetniki v upanju! Že danes oznanjam, da ti dvojno povrnem.

¹³When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

¹³Kajti napel sem si Judo kakor lok in Efraima nanj položil kakor pšico; in tvoje sinove, o Sion, pobudim nad tvoje sinove, o Grška dežela, in te napravim kakor junakov meč.

¹⁴And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁵The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

¹⁶And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

¹⁷For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

¹⁷Kajti kolika bo njih dobrota in kolika njih lepota! Po žitu bodo uspevali mladeniči in po moštu device.
