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;

¹[Ny handravana ny firenena maro, sy ny voninahitra ho azon'i Ziona kosa] Teny faminaniana avy tamin'i Jehovah ny amin'ny loza hanjo ny tany Hadraka, Ary Damaskosy no hiharany - Fa ny mason'i Jehovah mandinika ny olombelona Mbamin'ny firenena rehetra amin'ny Isiraely - [na: fa mijery an'i Jehovah ny mason'ny olombelona]

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

²Sy Hamata koa, izay mifanolotra aminy, Ary Tyro sy Sidona koa, satria hendry izy.

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

³Ary Tyro nanao manda mafy ho azy Ka nanangona volafotsy hoatra ny vovoka Sy volamena tsara hoatra ny fotaka eny an-dalambe.

⁴Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.

⁴Indro, hofoanan'ny Tompo ny fananany, Sady hasiany koa ny heriny ao amin'ny ranomasina; Ary ny tenany ho levon'ny afo.

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.

⁵Askelona hahita izany ka ho raiki-tahotra, Gaza koa, ka ho toran-kovitra indrindra, Ary Ekrona, fa ho tonga henatra ny fanantenany; Tsy hisy mpanjaka intsony ao Gaza, Ary Askelona tsy honenana.

⁶Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

⁶Zazasary no ho mpanjaka ao Asdoda, Ary hofoanako ny reharehan'ny Filistina.

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.

⁷Hesoriko eny am-bavany ny ràny, Sy ny fahavetavetany tsy ho eny anelanelan'ny nifiny; Ary izy koa ho sisa ho an'Andriamanitsika Sy ho toy ny lohany amin'ny firenen'i Joda, Ary Ekrona ho toy ny Jebosita.

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.

⁸Ary hitoby Aho hiaro ny tranoko noho ny miaramila betsaka, Dia noho izay mandroso sy miverina; Ary tsy hisy mpampahory handeha hamaky eo aminy intsony, Fa ankehitriny dia efa hitan'ny masoko. [na: mba tsy hisy mandroso na miverina, ka]

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.

⁹Mifalia indrindra, ry Ziona zanakavavy; Manaova feo fifaliana, ry Jerosalema zanakavavy; Indro, ny Mpanjakanao avy ho anao; Marina Izy sady manam-pamonjena, Malemy fanahy sady mitaingina boriky Dia zana-boriky tanora. [na: ho atỳ aminao][heb. voavonjy]

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.

¹⁰Ary hofoanako tsy hisy kalesy intsony Efraima, Na soavaly any Jerosalema, Hofoanana koa ny tsipìka fiadiana, Ary hiteny fiadanana amin'ny jentilisa Izy; Ny fanapahany dia hatramin'ny ranomasina ka hatramin'ny ranomasina Ary hatramin'ny Ony ka hatramin'ny faran'ny tany. [Eofrata]

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.

¹¹Ny aminao koa, noho ny ran'ny fanekena taminao No efa namoahako ny mpifatotrao avy tao an-davaka tsy misy rano.

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

¹²Miverena ho amin'ny fiarovana mafy, ianareo mpifatotra manana ny fanantenana! Anio no hanambarako hoe: Hanonitra roa heny ho anao Aho.

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.

¹³Fa nohenjaniko ho Ahy Joda, Efraima nataoko zana-tsipìka; Ary hotairiko ny zanakao, ry Ziona, hiady amin'ny zanakao, ry Grisia, Ary hataoko toy ny sabatry ny lehilahy mahery ianao,

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.

¹⁴Ary Jehovah hiseho ao aminy, Ka handeha toy ny helatra ny zana-tsipìkany, Jehovah Tompo hitsoka anjomara Ka handeha amin'ny tafio-drivotra any atsimo.

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.

¹⁵Ary Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no hiaro ireny; Dia hihinana ireny ka hanitsakitsaka vaton'antsamotady; Ary hisotro ireny ka hihorakoraka tahaka ny azon'ny divay, Ary ho feno toy ny lovia famafazana ireny, dia toy ny zoron'ny alitara.

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.

¹⁶Ary hovonjen'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ireny amin'izany andro izany Toy ny olona izay ondriny; Fa ho toy ny vaton-tsatro-boninahitra Mamirapiratra eny amin'ny taniny ireny.Fa akory ny hasoany! ary akory ny hatsaran-tarehiny! Vary no hampaharoroka ny zatovo, Ary ranom-boaloboka kosa ny zazavavy. [heb. hampitsimoka]

¹⁷For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

¹⁷Fa akory ny hasoany! ary akory ny hatsaran-tarehiny! Vary no hampaharoroka ny zatovo, Ary ranom-boaloboka kosa ny zazavavy. [heb. hampitsimoka]
