¹In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.

¹Pada waktu itu TUHAN akan memakai pedang-Nya yang kuat dan tajam untuk menghukum Lewiatan, ular yang meliuk-liuk dan melingkar-lingkar itu, dan untuk membunuh naga laut.

²In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard!

²Pada waktu itu TUHAN akan berkata, "Bernyanyilah tentang kebun anggur-Ku yang indah.

³I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.

³Aku, TUHAN, penjaganya; setiap saat Aku menyiraminya, siang malam Aku menjaganya, agar jangan ada yang mengganggunya.

⁴Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.

⁴Aku tidak merasa marah lagi. Sekiranya ada rumput atau semak berduri, Aku akan membasminya, dan membakar habis semuanya.

⁵Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”

⁵Tetapi jika musuh-musuh umat-Ku mencari perlindungan pada-Ku, biarlah mereka berdamai dengan Aku, ya, berdamai dengan Aku."

⁶In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.

⁶Di masa yang akan datang, bangsa Israel akan seperti pohon yang berakar dan berkembang, serta memenuhi muka bumi dengan buah-buahnya.

⁷Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?

⁷TUHAN menghukum umat-Nya tidak seberat Ia menghukum bangsa-bangsa yang memusuhi mereka. Ia tidak membunuh umat-Nya seperti Ia membunuh musuh-Nya.

⁸In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.

⁸TUHAN menghukum umat-Nya dengan membuang mereka ke negeri asing. Ia mengusir mereka dengan angin jahat dari timur.

⁹Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the incense altars shall rise no more.

⁹Tetapi dosa-dosa Israel hanya dapat diampuni kalau mezbah dewa-dewa digiling halus seperti kapur. Semua pedupaan dan lambang Dewi Asyera harus dihancurkan juga.

¹⁰For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.

¹⁰Kota berkubu itu sudah menjadi sepi dan ditinggalkan seperti padang belantara yang kosong. Kawanan ternak merumput dan beristirahat di situ sambil menghabiskan daun-daun dari dahan-dahan pohon.

¹¹When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.

¹¹Apabila ranting-rantingnya sudah kering dan patah, wanita-wanita datang dan menjadikannya kayu api. Bangsa itu tidak mengerti apa-apa, maka Allah Penciptanya tidak akan menyayangi atau mengasihi mereka.

¹²It will happen in that day, that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.

¹²Pada waktu itu TUHAN akan mengumpulkan bangsa-Nya satu demi satu dari Sungai Efrat sampai ke perbatasan Mesir. Ia akan memisahkan mereka seperti orang memisahkan butir gandum dari sekamnya.

¹³It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

¹³Pada waktu itu akan dibunyikan trompet besar untuk memanggil kembali semua orang Israel yang dibuang di Asyur dan di Mesir. Mereka akan datang ke Yerusalem untuk menyembah TUHAN di bukit-Nya yang suci.
