¹Videl som Pána stáť vedľa oltára, a riekol: Uder hlavicu, aby sa zatriasly prahy a odraz ich a hoď na hlavu ich všetkých, a ich ostatok pobijem mečom; nikto im neunikne, ani sa im nikto nezachráni útekom.

¹I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: `Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.

²Keby sa preborili až do pekla, odtiaľ ich vezme moja ruka; a keby vyšli až hore do neba, aj odtiaľ ich strhnem;

²If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down.

³keby sa ukryli na vrchu Karmela, vykutám ich odtiaľ a vezmem ich; keby sa skryli pred mojimi očima na dne mora, odtiaľ rozkážem hadovi, a vyhryzie ich;

³And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

⁴a keby odišli do zajatia pred svojimi nepriateľmi, odtiaľ rozkážem meču, a pobije ich a obrátim svoje oko na nich na zlé a nie na dobré.

⁴And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.

⁵Lebo Pán Hospodin Zástupov je to, ktorý keď sa dotkne zeme, rozplýva sa, a smútia všetci, ktorí bývajú na nej, a vystúpi celá jako rieka Níl a klesne jako rieka Egypta;

⁵And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood of Egypt.

⁶ktorý si stavia svoje vrchné paláce na nebi a svoju klenbu založil nad zemou, ktorý volá na vody mora a vylieva ich na tvár zeme; Hospodin je jeho meno.

⁶Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.

⁷Či nie ste mi vy, synovia Izraelovi, jako synovia Ethiopov? hovorí Hospodin. Či som nevyviedol Izraela z Egyptskej zeme hore, Filištínov z Kaftora a Sýra z Kíra?

⁷As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?

⁸Hľa, oči Pána Hospodina proti tomu hriešnemu kráľovstvu, a zahladím ho s tvári zeme, krome že priam celkom nezahladím domu Jakobovho, hovorí Hospodin.

⁸Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁹Lebo hľa, ja prikážem a budem previevať dom Izraelov medzi všetkými národami, jako sa previeva riečicou, ale neprepadne ani jediné zrno na zem.

⁹For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.

¹⁰Od meča pomrú všetci hriešnici z môjho ľudu, ktorí hovoria: Nepriblíži sa k nám ani nenadíde na nás zlé.

¹⁰By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, `Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.`

¹¹Toho dňa postavím stán Dávidov, padlý, a ohradím ich trhliny, postavím jeho zboreniny a vybudujem ho jako za dní drievneho veku,

¹¹In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.

¹²aby dedične vládli ostatkom Edoma a všetkými národami, nad ktorými bolo vzývané moje meno, hovorí Hospodin, ktorý to učiní.

¹²So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of this.

¹³Hľa, idú dni, hovorí Hospodin, že oráč bude stíhať ženca a ten, kto šliape hrozná, rozsievača semena, vrchy budú kvapkať sladkým vínom, a všetky brehy sa budú rozplývať hojnosťou.

¹³Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropt juice, And all the hills do melt.

¹⁴A dovediem zpät zajatých svojho ľudu Izraela, a vystavia spustlé mestá a budú bývať v nich, budú sadiť vinice a budú piť ich víno, narobia zahrád a budú jesť ich ovocie.

¹⁴And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.

¹⁵A tak ich zasadím na ich zemi, a nebudú viacej vykorenení s povrchu svojej zeme, ktorú som im dal, hovorí Hospodin, tvoj Bôh.

¹⁵And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
