¹Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,

¹Zoberte sa a vstúpte so seba, národe, ktorý nemá studu,

²before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.

²prv ako porodí to, čo je ustanovené, pominie deň ako pleva; prv ako prijde na vás páľa hnevu Hospodinovho, prv ako prijde na vás deň hnevu Hospodinovho.

³Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.

³Hľadajte Hospodina, všetci pokorní zeme, ktorí konáte jeho súd! Hľadajte spravedlivosť, hľadajte pokoru, snáď sa nejako ukryjete v deň hnevu Hospodinovho.

⁴For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.

⁴Lebo Azza azúba, Gaza bude opustená, a Aškalon bude obrátený na pustinu; Ašdód, na poludnie ho zaženú, a Ekron teakér, Ekron bude vykorenený.

⁵Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yahweh is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.

⁵Beda tým, ktorí bývajú na pomorí, národu Keréťanov! Slovo Hospodinovo proti vám, Kanaáne, zem Filištínov! A zahubím ťa natoľko, že nebude obyvateľa.

⁶The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.

⁶A tak bude pomorie pastviskami, plné jam pastierov a košiarov drobného stáda.

⁷The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , will visit them, and restore them.

⁷A bude údelom ostatku domu Júdovho; na nich budú pásť; v domoch Aškalona sa budú klásť večer na odpočinok, lebo ich navštívi Hospodin, ich Bôh, a dovedie zpät ich zajatých.

⁸I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

⁸Počul som potupu Moábovu a rúhania synov Ammonových, ktorí potupovali môj ľud a honosili sa proti ich územiu.

⁹Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.

⁹Preto jako že ja žijem, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov, že Moáb bude jako Sodoma a synovia Ammonovi jako Gomora, vlastníctvom tŕnia a dolom soli a pustinou až na veky. Ostatok môjho ľudu, tí ich vylúpia, a zbytok môjho národa, tí ich zdedia.

¹⁰This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁰Toto im bude za ich pýchu, pretože potupovali a vypínajúc sa honosili sa proti ľudu Hospodina Zástupov.

¹¹Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.

¹¹Strašný bude Hospodin na nich, lebo vyničí všetkých bohov zeme, a budú sa mu klaňať každý zo svojho miesta, všetky ostrovy národov.

¹²You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.

¹²Aj vy, Ethiopovia, budete pobití mojím mečom.

¹³He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.

¹³A vystrie svoju ruku na sever, zahubí Assúra a obráti Nivive na pustinu, vypráhlu jako púšť.

¹⁴Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

¹⁴A budú sa prostred neho rozkladať stáda, všelijaké šelmy národa, i pelikán i jež; budú nocovať na jeho hlaviciach; hlas speváka v obloku, spustošenie na prahu, lebo obnaží jeho cedrinu.

¹⁵This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is none besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.

¹⁵To je to plesajúce mesto, ktoré bývalo bezpečne, ktoré hovorilo vo svojom srdci: Ja a niktoré viacej! Oj, ako je obrátené na púšť, pelechom je divej zveri; každý, kto pojde popri ňom, zapískne a mávne svojou rukou.
