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

¹Zberite se, da, zberite se, o narod brezsramni,

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.

²preden se uresniči, kar je ukrenjeno (tisti dan poleti mimo kakor pleve), preden pride nad vas togota srda GOSPODOVEGA, preden pride nad vas dan jeze GOSPODOVE!

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.

³Iščite GOSPODA, vsi krotki v deželi, ki ste vršili sodbo njegovo; iščite pravičnost, iščite ponižnost, morda doboste skrivališče ob dnevi jeze GOSPODOVE!

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

⁴Kajti Gaza bo opuščena in Askelon bo puščava, iz Asdoda preženo prebivalce ob belem dne in Ekron bo izruvan.

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.

⁵Gorje prebivalcem v pokrajini ob morju, narodu Keretejcev! Beseda GOSPODOVA je zoper tebe, o Kanaan, dežela Filistejcev! pogubim te, da ne bode prebivalca!

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

⁶In pokrajina ob morju postane pašnik s kočami za pastirje in z ograjami za drobnico;

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.

⁷in bode pokrajina za ostanek hiše Judove: po njej bodo pasli, v hišah askelonskih bodo zvečer počivali; kajti obišče jih GOSPOD, njih Bog, in nazaj pripelje njih ujetništvo.

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.

⁸Slišal sem zasmehovanje Moabovo in preklinjanje sinov Amonovih, s katerim so zasmehovali ljudstvo moje in sebe veličili proti njegovemu kraju.

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.

⁹Zatorej, kakor res živim, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Gotovo bode Moab kakor Sodoma in sinovi Amonovi kakor Gomora, koprivja posest in solne jame in večna puščava. Ljudstva mojega ostanek jih opleni in preostanek naroda mojega jih dobi v dedno last.

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

¹⁰To se jim zgodi za njih prevzetnost, ker so zasmehovali ljudstvo GOSPODA nad vojskami in se proti njemu veličili.

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.

¹¹Strašen jim bode GOSPOD, kajti stori, da izginejo vsi bogovi zemlje; in po vseh otokih poganskih narodov ga bodo molili, vsakdo s svojega kraja.

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

¹²Tudi vi, Etiopci, boste pobiti z mojim mečem.

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

¹³In on iztegne roko proti severu in uniči Asirijo in Ninive naredi v samoto, suho kakor puščava.

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.

¹⁴In ležale bodo sredi mesta črede, vsake vrste živali; tudi pelikani in ježi bodo prenočevali na glavičih njih stebrov. Glas vetra bo pel v oknu, razvaline bodo na pragih, ker odtrgani so cedrovi obložci.To je tisto veselo mesto, ki je prebivalo brez skrbi, ki je govorilo v srcu svojem: Jaz sem in nobenega ni razen mene! Kako je postalo v puščavo, v ležišče zverini! Vsak, kdor pojde mimo, bo žvižgal, mahal z roko.

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 tisto veselo mesto, ki je prebivalo brez skrbi, ki je govorilo v srcu svojem: Jaz sem in nobenega ni razen mene! Kako je postalo v puščavo, v ležišče zverini! Vsak, kdor pojde mimo, bo žvižgal, mahal z roko.
