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

¹The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel;)

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

²and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.

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

³And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

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

⁴Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

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.

⁵Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

⁶Asdodis hakkavad elama võõrad ja ma kaotan vilistite kõrkuse.

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

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.

⁷and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

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.

⁸And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.

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.

⁹Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and rIding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

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

¹⁰And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

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

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

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

¹²Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.

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.

¹³For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.

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

¹⁴And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.

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

¹⁵Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.

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

¹⁶And Jehovah 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 upon his land.

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

¹⁷For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
