א
מַשָּׂא דְבַר-יְהוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַדְרָךְ, וְדַמֶּשֶׂק מְנֻחָתוֹ: כִּי לַיהוָה עֵין אָדָם, וְכֹל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.
|
1
The burden of the word of YAHOWAH. In the land of Hadrach, and in Damascus shall be His resting-place; for YAHOWAH'S is the eye of man and all the tribes of Yisrael.
|
ב
וְגַם-חֲמָת, תִּגְבָּל-בָּהּ; צֹר וְצִידוֹן, כִּי חָכְמָה מְאֹד.
|
2
And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise.
|
ג
וַתִּבֶן צֹר מָצוֹר, לָהּ; וַתִּצְבָּר-כֶּסֶף, כֶּעָפָר, וְחָרוּץ, כְּטִיט חוּצוֹת.
|
3
And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
|
ד
הִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי יוֹרִשֶׁנָּה, וְהִכָּה בַיָּם חֵילָהּ; וְהִיא, בָּאֵשׁ תֵּאָכֵל.
|
4
Behold, YAHOWAH will impoverish her, and He will smite her power into the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
|
ה
תֵּרֶא אַשְׁקְלוֹן וְתִירָא, וְעַזָּה וְתָחִיל מְאֹד, וְעֶקְרוֹן, כִּי-הֹבִישׁ מֶבָּטָהּ; וְאָבַד מֶלֶךְ מֵעַזָּה, וְאַשְׁקְלוֹן לֹא תֵשֵׁב.
|
5
Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
|
ו
וְיָשַׁב מַמְזֵר, בְּאַשְׁדּוֹד; וְהִכְרַתִּי, גְּאוֹן פְּלִשְׁתִּים.
|
6
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
|
ז
וַהֲסִרֹתִי דָמָיו מִפִּיו, וְשִׁקֻּצָיו מִבֵּין שִׁנָּיו, וְנִשְׁאַר גַּם-הוּא, לֵאלֹהֵינוּ; וְהָיָה כְּאַלֻּף בִּיהוּדָה, וְעֶקְרוֹן כִּיבוּסִי.
|
7
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth, and he also shall be a remnant for our Eloheem; and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
|
ח
וְחָנִיתִי לְבֵיתִי מִצָּבָה מֵעֹבֵר וּמִשָּׁב, וְלֹא-יַעֲבֹר עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹד נֹגֵשׂ: כִּי עַתָּה, רָאִיתִי בְעֵינָי. {ס}
|
8
And I will encamp about My house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more; for now have I seen with Mine eyes.
{S}
|
ט
גִּילִי מְאֹד בַּת-צִיּוֹן, הָרִיעִי בַּת יְרוּשָׁלִַם, הִנֵּה מַלְכֵּךְ יָבוֹא לָךְ, צַדִּיק וְנוֹשָׁע הוּא; עָנִי וְרֹכֵב עַל-חֲמוֹר, וְעַל-עַיִר בֶּן-אֲתֹנוֹת.
|
9
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
|
י
וְהִכְרַתִּי-רֶכֶב מֵאֶפְרַיִם, וְסוּס מִירוּשָׁלִַם, וְנִכְרְתָה קֶשֶׁת מִלְחָמָה, וְדִבֶּר שָׁלוֹם לַגּוֹיִם; וּמָשְׁלוֹ מִיָּם עַד-יָם, וּמִנָּהָר עַד-אַפְסֵי-אָרֶץ.
|
10
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
|
יא
גַּם-אַתְּ בְּדַם-בְּרִיתֵךְ, שִׁלַּחְתִּי אֲסִירַיִךְ מִבּוֹר, אֵין מַיִם, בּוֹ.
|
11
As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
|
יב
שׁוּבוּ, לְבִצָּרוֹן, אֲסִירֵי, הַתִּקְוָה; גַּם-הַיּוֹם, מַגִּיד מִשְׁנֶה אָשִׁיב לָךְ.
|
12
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
|
יג
כִּי-דָרַכְתִּי לִי יְהוּדָה, קֶשֶׁת מִלֵּאתִי אֶפְרַיִם, וְעוֹרַרְתִּי בָנַיִךְ צִיּוֹן, עַל-בָּנַיִךְ יָוָן; וְשַׂמְתִּיךְ, כְּחֶרֶב גִּבּוֹר.
|
13
For I bend Judah for Me, I fill the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Javan, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
|
יד
וַיהוָה עֲלֵיהֶם יֵרָאֶה, וְיָצָא כַבָּרָק חִצּוֹ; וַאדֹנָי יְהוִה בַּשּׁוֹפָר יִתְקָע, וְהָלַךְ בְּסַעֲרוֹת תֵּימָן.
|
14
And YAHOWAH shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and ADONAI YAHOWAH will blow the horn, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
|
טו
יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, יָגֵן עֲלֵיהֶם, וְאָכְלוּ וְכָבְשׁוּ אַבְנֵי-קֶלַע, וְשָׁתוּ הָמוּ כְּמוֹ-יָיִן; וּמָלְאוּ, כַּמִּזְרָק--כְּזָוִיּוֹת, מִזְבֵּחַ.
|
15
YAHOWAH of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.
|
טז
וְהוֹשִׁיעָם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם, בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא--כְּצֹאן עַמּוֹ: כִּי, אַבְנֵי-נֵזֶר, מִתְנוֹסְסוֹת, עַל-אַדְמָתוֹ.
|
16
And YAHOWAH their Eloheem shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, glittering over His land.
|
יז
כִּי מַה-טּוּבוֹ, וּמַה-יָּפְיוֹ--דָּגָן, בַּחוּרִים, וְתִירוֹשׁ, יְנוֹבֵב בְּתֻלוֹת.
|
17
For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
