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.

³And the fortress 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.

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

⁴And it shall come to pass in that day, 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 standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

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

⁶Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.

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

⁷In that day shall men look unto their Maker, and their eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

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

⁸And they shall not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they have respect to that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.

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

⁹In that day shall their strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation.

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

¹⁰For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest 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 of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom; but the harvest fleeth away 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.

¹²Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush 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 he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

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.

¹⁴At eventide, behold, terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that despoil 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.
