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

¹An oracle. The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh;

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

²and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

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

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

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

⁴Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will 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 will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

⁶Asdodis hakkavad elama võõrad ja ma kaotan vilistite kõrkuse.

⁶Foreigners will 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.

⁷I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain 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.

⁸I will encamp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my 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, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

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

¹⁰I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will 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 you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

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

¹²Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

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 indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you 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.

¹⁴Yahweh will be seen over them; and his arrow will go flash like lightning; and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

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

¹⁵Yahweh of Armies will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, 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.

¹⁶Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over 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! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
