¹The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh — his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.)

¹Ennustus: Issanda sõna on Hadrakimaal ja tema hingamispaik on Damaskus, sest Issand hoiab oma silma inimeste peal nagu kõigil Iisraeli suguharudel,

²And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for — very wise!

²ka Hamatil, mis on Damaskuse piiril, ka Tüürosel ja Siidonil, kuigi need on väga targad.

³And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.

³Tüüros on ehitanud enese kindluseks, ta on kuhjanud kokku hõbedat nagu põrmu ja kulda nagu tänavapori.

⁴Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed.

⁴Vaata, Issand teeb ta vaeseks, paiskab ta müüri merre ja laseb tal tules hävida.

⁵See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron — for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain,

⁵Askelon näeb seda ja kardab, ka Assa, ja väriseb väga; samuti Ekron, sest ta lootus muutub häbiks. Assast hukkub kuningas ja Askelonis ei elata enam.

⁶And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines.

⁶Asdodis hakkavad elama võõrad ja ma kaotan vilistite kõrkuse.

⁷And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁷Ma kõrvaldan ta suust vere ja ta hammaste vahelt jäledused: temastki jääb jääk meie Jumalale, temastki saab nagu üks Juuda pealik, ja Ekron on võrreldav jebuuslastega.

⁸And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with My eyes.

⁸Ma löön leeri üles oma koja kaitseks, minejate ja tulijate pärast, et rõhuja ei tuleks enam neile kallale, sest nüüd ma olen seda näinud oma silmaga.

⁹Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — and saved is He, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.

⁹Ole väga rõõmus, Siioni tütar, hõiska, Jeruusalemma tütar! Vaata, sulle tuleb sinu kuningas, õiglane ja aitaja. Tema on alandlik ja sõidab eesli seljas, emaeesli sälu seljas.

¹⁰And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Yea, cut off hath been the bow of battle, And he hath spoken peace to nations, And his rule [is] from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

¹⁰Mina hävitan Efraimist sõjavankrid ja sõjaratsud Jeruusalemmast, sõjaammudki hävitatakse. Ja tema kuulutab rahvaile rahu ning valitseb merest mereni, Frati jõest ilmamaa ääreni.

¹¹Also thou — by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent thy prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.

¹¹Ja sulle: Sinu lepinguvere pärast ma vabastan su vangid august, kus pole vett.

¹²Turn back to a fenced place, Ye prisoners of the hope, Even to-day a second announcer I restore to thee.

¹²Pöörduge tagasi turvapaika, lootusrikkad vangid, sest ma kuulutan täna: Ma tahan sulle kahekordselt tasuda!

¹³For I have trodden for Me Judah, A bow I have filled [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Javan, And I have set thee as the sword of a hero.

¹³Sest ma vinnastan enesele Juuda nagu ammu, panen Efraimi nooleks peale. Ja ma õhutan su pojad, Siion, sinu poegade kallale, Jaavan. Ma teen sind kangelase mõõga sarnaseks.

¹⁴And Jehovah doth appear for them, And gone forth as lightning hath His arrow, And the Lord Jehovah with a trumpet bloweth, And He hath gone with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁴Siis ilmub Issand nende kohale ja tema nool läheb välja nagu välk; ja Issand Jumal puhub sarve ning tuleb lõunatormides.

¹⁵Jehovah of Hosts doth cover them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Yea, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.

¹⁵Vägede Issand kaitseb neid, tema lingukivid purevad liha, joovad verd nagu veini ja täituvad otsekui piserdusnõu, otsekui altari nurgad.

¹⁶And saved them hath Jehovah their God In that day, as a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.

¹⁶Ja Issand, nende Jumal, aitab neid sel päeval nagu oma rahva karja; sest otsekui laubaehte kivid peavad nad sätendama tema maal.

¹⁷For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins — make fruitful!

¹⁷Tõesti, kui hea ja ilus see on! Vili kosutab noori mehi ja viinamarjamahl neidusid.
