¹وحي من جهة دمشق. هوذا دمشق تزال من بين المدن وتكون رجمة ردم

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

²مدن عروعير متروكة. تكون للقطعان فتربض وليس من يخيف.

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

³ويزول الحصن من افرايم والملك من دمشق وبقية ارام. فتصير كمجد بني اسرائيل يقول رب الجنود

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 Jehovah of hosts.

⁴ويكون في ذلك اليوم ان مجد يعقوب يذل وسمانة لحمه تهزل

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 become lean.

⁵ويكون كجمع الحصادين الزرع وذراعه تحصد السنابل ويكون كمن يلقط سنابل في وادي رفايم.

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

⁶وتبقى فيه خصاصة كنفض زيتونة حبتان او ثلاث في راس الفرع واربع او خمس في افنان المثمرة يقول الرب اله اسرائيل

⁶And a gleaning shall be left in it, as at the shaking of an olive-tree: two, three berries above, in the tree-top; four, five in its fruitful boughs, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.

⁷في ذلك اليوم يلتفت الانسان الى صانعه وتنظر عيناه الى قدوس اسرائيل.

⁷In that day shall man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have regard to the Holy One of Israel.

⁸ولا يلتفت الى المذابح صنعة يديه ولا ينظر الى ما صنعته اصابعه السواري والشمسات.

⁸And he will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, nor have regard to what his fingers have made, neither the Asherahs nor the sun-images.

⁹في ذلك اليوم تصير مدنه الحصينة كالردم في الغاب والشوامخ التي تركوها من وجه بني اسرائيل فصارت خرابا

⁹In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken tract in the woodland, and the mountain-top which they forsook before the children of Israel; and there shall be desolation.

¹⁰لانك نسيتي اله خلاصك ولم تذكري صخرة حصنك لذلك تغرسين اغراسا نزهة وتنصبين نصبة غربية.

¹⁰For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plantations, and shalt set them with foreign slips:

¹¹يوم غرسك تسيجينها وفي الصباح تجعلين زرعك يزهر ولكن يهرب الحصيد في يوم الضربة المهلكة والكآبة العديمة الرجاء

¹¹in the day of thy planting wilt thou make [them] to grow, and on the morrow wilt thou make thy seed to flourish; [but] the harvest will flee in the day of taking possession, and the sorrow will be incurable.

¹²آه ضجيج شعوب كثيرة تضج كضجيج البحر وهدير قبائل تهدر كهدير مياه غزيرة.

¹²Ha! a tumult of many peoples! they make a noise as the noise of the seas; -- and the rushing of nations! they rush as the rushing of mighty waters.

¹³قبائل تهدر كهدير مياه كثيرة. ولكنه ينتهرها فتهرب بعيدا وتطرد كعصافة الجبال امام الريح وكالجل اما الزوبعة.

¹³The nations rush as the rushing of many waters; but he will rebuke them, and they shall flee far away, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a whirling [of dust] before the whirlwind:

¹⁴في وقت المساء اذا رعب. قبل الصبح ليسوا هم. هذا نصيب ناهبينا وحظ سالبينا

¹⁴behold, at eventide, trouble; before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
