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;

¹Bremä slova Hospodinovho proti zemi Chadrach-u i proti Damašku, jeho odpočinku (Pre to, že oko človeka má zrieť k Hospodinovi aj oči všetkých pokolení Izraelových);

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

²ako aj proti Chamatu, ktorý hraničí s ním, proti Týru a Sidonu, lebo je veľmi múdry.

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

³A Týrus si vystavil pevnosť, nahromadil striebra jako prachu a rýdzeho zlata jako blata ulíc.

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

⁴Hľa, Pán ho vyženie a porazí jeho silu na mori, a on sám bude strávený ohňom.

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.

⁵Uvidí to Aškalon a bude sa báť, i Gaza, a bude sa svíjať bolesťou, veľmi, aj Ekron, pretože zahanbí jeho nádej, a zahynie kráľ z Gazy, a Aškalon nebude obývaný.

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

⁶V Ašdóde bude bývať bastard, a tak vytnem pýchu Filištínov.

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.

⁷A odstránim jeho krv z jeho úst a jeho hnusoby zpomedzi jeho zubov, a tak pozostane aj on nášmu Bohu a bude jako vojvoda v Judsku a Ekron ako Jebuzej.

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.

⁸A položím sa vôkol svojho domu táborom pre vojsko, aby nikto neprešiel cezeň ani sa nevrátil. A neprejde viacej po nich pohonič, lebo teraz som videl svojimi očima.

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.

⁹Plesaj veľmi, dcéro Siona, pokrikuj radostne, dcéro Jeruzalema! Hľa, tvoj kráľ prijde k tebe, spravedlivý je a plný spasenia chudobný a jazdiaci na oslovi, na osľati, žrebcovi oslíc.

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.

¹⁰A vyplienim voz z Efraima a koňa z Jeruzalema, a bude vyplienené aj vojenné lučište, a bude hovoriť pokoj národom. Jeho panstvo bude od mora až k moru a od Rieky až po konce zeme.

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.

¹¹Aj tebe, pre krv tvojej smluvy, prepustím tvojich väzňov z jamy, v ktorej niet vody.

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

¹²Navráťte sa do pevnosti, väzni nádeje! Aj dnes oznamujem: Dvojnásobne ti nahradím.

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.

¹³Lebo si napnem Júdu, naplním lučište Efraimom a zobudím tvojich synov, Sione, proti tvojim synom, Javane, a učiním ťa ako meč hrdinu.

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.

¹⁴A Hospodin sa ukáže nad nimi, a jeho strela vyjde jako blesk, a Pán Hospodin bude trúbiť na trúbu a pojde jako víchrice juhu.

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.

¹⁵Hospodin Zástupov bude štítiť nad nimi, a strávia a zašliapu kamene praku, budú piť a lomoziť ako od vína a budú plní jako obetná čaša, jako uhly oltára.

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.

¹⁶A tak ich zachráni Hospodin, ich Bôh, toho dňa ako stádo svojho ľudu, pretože budú jako kamene koruny, ktoré sa budú ďaleko skvieť na jeho zemi.

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

¹⁷Lebo jaké bude jeho dobro a jaká jeho krása! Obilie mládencom a vínna šťava bude dodávať rozkvetu pannám.
