1Gorje deželi s šumečimi perutmi, ki je onkraj rek etiopskih,
1Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
2ki pošilja poslance po morju in v ladjah iz papirovega trstja po površju vodá: Pojdite, hitri sli, k narodu visoke postave in gladkemu, k ljudstvu strahovitemu od svojega začetka in doslej, k narodu, ki strogo zapoveduje in vse tepta, čigar deželo cepijo reke.
2that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
3Vsi prebivalci naseljenega sveta in stanovalci zemeljski, ko se povzdigne zastava na gorah, glejte tja, ko se zatrobi na trombo, čujte!
3All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen!
4Kajti tako mi je rekel GOSPOD: Mirno hočem gledati v svojem prebivališču, bom kakor jasna vročina ob solnčnem svitu, kakor gosta rosa ob gorki žetvi.
4For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
5Kajti pred trgatvijo, ko je trtje odcvetlo in jagode dozorevajo, poreže trte s kosirjem in odpravi ročice, poseče.
5For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
6Vsi vkup bodo prepuščeni ropnim pticam gorskim in zemeljskim zverinam, in ropne ptice prežive na njih leto, vse zveri zemeljske pa bodo zimovale na njih.V tistem času prineso GOSPODU nad vojskami v dar: ljudstvo visoke postave in gladko; in ljudstvo strahovito od svojega začetka in doslej, narod, ki strogo zapoveduje in vse tepta, čigar deželo cepijo reke, pride na mesto imena GOSPODA nad vojskami, na goro Sionsko.
6They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.
7V tistem času prineso GOSPODU nad vojskami v dar: ljudstvo visoke postave in gladko; in ljudstvo strahovito od svojega začetka in doslej, narod, ki strogo zapoveduje in vse tepta, čigar deželo cepijo reke, pride na mesto imena GOSPODA nad vojskami, na goro Sionsko.
7In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.
