1Kung ikaw ay manunumbalik, Oh Israel, sabi ng Panginoon, kung ikaw ay manunumbalik sa akin, at kung iyong aalisin ang iyong mga kasuklamsuklam sa aking paningin; hindi ka nga makikilos; 2At ikaw ay susumpa, Buhay ang Panginoon, sa katotohanan, sa kahatulan, at sa katuwiran; at ang mga bansa ay magiging mapalad sa kaniya, at sa kaniya luluwalhati sila. 3Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, sa mga tao ng Juda at ng Jerusalem, Inyong bungkalin ang inyong binabayaang bukiran, at huwag kayong maghasik sa gitna ng mga tinik. 4Magsipagtuli kayo para sa Panginoon, at inyong alisin ang mga kasamaan ng inyong puso, ninyong mga tao ng Juda at mga nananahan sa Jerusalem; baka ang aking kapootan ay sumigalbo na parang apoy, at magningas na walang makapatay, dahil sa kasamaan ng inyong mga gawa. 5Ipahayag ninyo sa Juda, at ibalita ninyo sa Jerusalem; at inyong sabihin, Inyong hipan ang pakakak sa lupain: magsihiyaw kayo ng malakas, at inyong sabihin, Magpisan kayo, at tayo'y magsipasok sa mga bayang nakukutaan. 6Kayo'y mangagtaas ng watawat sa dako ng Sion: kayo'y magsitakas sa ikatitiwasay, huwag kayong magsitigil: sapagka't ako'y magdadala ng kasamaan mula sa hilagaan, at ng malaking paglipol. 7Ang isang leon ay sumampa mula sa kaniyang kagubatan, at ang manglilipol ng mga bansa; siya'y nasa kaniyang paglalakad, siya'y lumabas mula sa kaniyang dako, upang sirain ang iyong lupain, upang ang iyong mga bayan ay mangalagay na sira na walang mananahan. 8Dahil dito ay mangagbigkis kayo ng kayong magaspang, kayo'y magsipanaghoy at magsipanangis; sapagka't ang mabangis na galit ng Panginoon ay hindi humihiwalay sa atin. 9At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, na ang puso ng hari ay mapapahamak, at ang puso ng mga prinsipe: at ang mga saserdote ay mangatitigilan, at ang mga propeta ay mangamamangha. 10Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko, Ah Panginoong Dios: tunay na iyong dinayang lubha ang bayang ito at ang Jerusalem, na iyong sinabi, Kayo'y mangagkakaroon ng kapayapaan: gayon man ang tabak ay tumatalab sa buhay. 11Sa panahong yaon ay sasabihin sa bayang ito at sa Jerusalem, Isang mainit na hangin na mula sa mga luwal na kaitaasan sa ilang ay dumating sa anak ng aking bayan, hindi upang sumimoy, o maglinis man: 12Isang malakas na hangin na mula sa mga ito ay darating sa akin: ngayo'y magsasalita naman ako ng mga kahatulan laban sa kanila. 13Narito, siya'y sasagupang parang mga ulap, at ang kaniyang mga karo ay magiging parang ipoipo ang kaniyang mga kabayo ay lalong matulin kay sa mga aguila. Sa aba natin! sapagka't tayo'y nangapahamak. 14Oh Jerusalem, hugasan mo ang iyong puso sa kasamaan, upang ikaw ay maligtas. Hanggang kailan titigil sa loob mo ang iyong mga masamang pagiisip? 15Sapagka't isang tinig ay nagpapahayag mula sa Dan, at nagbabalita ng kasamaan, mula sa mga burol ng Ephraim. 16Inyong banggitin sa mga bansa: narito, inyong ibalita laban sa Jerusalem, na ang mga bantay ay nanggagaling sa malayong lupain, at inihihiyaw nila ang kanilang tinig laban sa mga bayan ng Juda. 17Sila'y gaya ng mga bantay sa parang, laban sa kaniya sa palibot, sapagka't siya'y naging mapanghimagsik laban sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon. 18Ang iyong lakad at ang iyong mga gawa ay nagsikap ng mga bagay na ito sa iyo: ito ang iyong kasamaan; sapagka't napakasama, sapagka't tinataglay ng iyong puso. 19Ang hirap ko, ang hirap ko! Ako'y nagdaramdam sa aking puso; ang dibdib ko ay kakabakaba, hindi ako matahimik; sapagka't iyong narinig, Oh kaluluwa ko, ang tunog ng pakakak, ang hudyat ng pakikipagdigma. 20Kagibaan at kagibaan ang inihihiyaw; sapagka't ang buong lupain ay nasira: biglang nangasira ang aking mga tolda, at ang aking mga tabing sa isang sandali. 21Hanggang kailan makikita ko ang watawat, at maririnig ang tunog ng pakakak? 22Sapagka't ang bayan ko ay hangal, hindi nila ako nakikilala; sila'y mga mangmang na anak, at sila'y walang unawa; sila'y pantas sa paggawa ng masama, nguni't sa paggawa ng mabuti ay wala silang kaalaman. 23Aking minasdan ang lupa, at, narito, sira at walang laman; at ang langit ay walang liwanag. 24Aking minasdan ang mga bundok, at narito, nagsisiyanig, at ang lahat na burol ay nagsisiindayon. 25Ako'y nagmasid, at, narito, walang tao, at lahat ng mga ibon sa himpapawid ay nangakatakas. 26Ako'y nagmasid, at, narito, ang mainam na parang ay ilang, at, lahat ng mga bayan niyaon ay nangasira sa harapan ng Panginoon, at sa harap ng kaniyang mabangis na galit. 27Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ang buong lupain ay magiging sira; gayon ma'y hindi ako gagawa ng lubos na kawakasan. 28Dahil dito ay tatangis ang lupa, at ang langit sa itaas ay magiging maitim: sapagka't aking sinalita, aking pinanukala, at hindi ako nagsisi, o akin mang tatalikuran. 29Ang buong bayan ay tumakas dahil sa hugong ng mga mangangabayo at ng mga mamamana; sila'y nagsipasok sa mga kagubatan, at nangagukyabit sa mga malaking bato; bawa't bayan ay napabayaan, at walang tao na tumatahan doon. 30At ikaw, pagka ikaw ay napahamak, anong iyong gagawin? Bagaman ikaw ay nananamit ng mainam na damit na mapula; bagaman ikaw ay gumagayak ng mga kagayakang ginto, bagaman iyong pinalalaki ang iyong mga mata ng pinta, sa walang kabuluhan nagpapakaganda ka; hinahamak ka ng mga mangingibig sa iyo, pinagsisikapan nila ang iyong buhay. 31Sapagka't ako'y nakarinig ng tinig na gaya ng sa babaing nagdaramdam, ng daing ng gaya ng sa nanganganak sa panganay, ng tinig ng anak na babae ng Sion, na nagsisikip ang hininga, na naguunat ng kaniyang mga kamay, na nagsasabi, Sa aba ko ngayon! sapagka't ang kaluluwa ko ay nanglulupaypay sa harap ng mga mamamatay tao.
1“If you will return, Israel,” says Yahweh, “if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you shall not be removed; 2and you shall swear, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.” 3For thus says Yahweh to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns. 4Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 5Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, ‘Blow the trumpet in the land!’ Cry aloud and say, ‘Assemble yourselves! Let us go into the fortified cities!’ 6Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety! Don’t wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.” 7A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he has gone out from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant. 8For this clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Yahweh hasn’t turned back from us. 9“It shall happen at that day,” says Yahweh, “that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.” 10Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall have peace;’ whereas the sword reaches to the heart.” 11At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse; 12a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.” 13Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined. 14Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you? 15For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim: 16“Tell the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, ‘Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah. 17As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,’” says Yahweh. 18“Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.” 19My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can’t hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 20Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment. 21How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22“For my people are foolish, they don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.” 23I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth. 25I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled. 26I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger. 27For thus says Yahweh, “The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end. 28For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.” 29Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein. 30You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers despise you, they seek your life. 31For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”
1Zo gij u bekeren zult, Israel! spreekt de HEERE, bekeer u tot Mij; en zo gij uw verfoeiselen van Mijn aangezicht zult wegdoen, zo zwerft niet om. 2Maar zweer: Zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft! in waarheid, in recht en in gerechtigheid; zo zullen zich de heidenen in Hem zegenen, en zich in Hem beroemen. 3Want zo zegt de HEERE tot de mannen van Juda, en tot Jeruzalem: Braakt ulieden een braakland, en zaait niet onder de doornen. 4Besnijdt u den HEERE en doet weg de voorhuiden uwer harten, gij mannen van Juda en inwoners van Jeruzalem! opdat Mijner grimmigheid niet uitvare als een vuur, en brande, dat niemand blussen kunne, vanwege de boosheid uwer handelingen. 5Verkondigt in Juda, en laat het horen te Jeruzalem, en zegt het; ja, blaast de bazuin in het land; roept met volle stem en zegt: Verzamelt ulieden, en laat ons ingaan in de vaste steden! 6Werpt de banier op naar Sion, vlucht met hopen, blijft niet staan! want Ik breng een kwaad aan van het noorden, en een grote breuk. 7De leeuw is opgekomen uit zijn haag, en de verderver der heidenen is opgetrokken, hij is uitgegaan uit zijn plaats, om uw land te stellen in verwoestingen; uw steden zullen verstoord worden, dat er niemand in wone. 8Hierom, gordt zakken aan, bedrijft misbaar en huilt; want de hittigheid van des HEEREN toorn is niet van ons afgekeerd. 9En het zal te dier tijd geschieden, spreekt de HEERE, dat het hart des konings en het hart der vorsten vergaan zal; en de priesters zullen zich ontzetten, en de profeten zich verwonderen. 10Toen zeide ik: Ach, Heere HEERE! waarlijk, Gij hebt dit volk en Jeruzalem grotelijks bedrogen, zeggende: Gijlieden zult vrede hebben; daar het zwaard tot aan de ziel raakt. 11Te dier tijd zal tot dit volk en tot Jeruzalem gezegd worden: Een dorre wind van de hoge plaatsen in de woestijn, van den weg der dochter Mijns volks; niet om te wannen, noch om te zuiveren. 12Er zal Mij een wind komen, die hun te sterk zal zijn. Nu zal Ik ook oordelen tegen hen uitspreken. 13Ziet, hij komt op als wolken, en zijn wagenen zijn als een wervelwind, zijn paarden zijn sneller dan arenden; wee ons, want wij zijn verwoest! 14Was uw hart van boosheid, o Jeruzalem! opdat gij behouden wordt; hoe lang zult gij de gedachten uwer ijdelheid in het binnenste van u laten vernachten? 15Want een stem verkondigt van Dan af, en doet ellende horen van het gebergte van Efraim. 16Vermeldt den volke, ziet, doet het horen tegen Jeruzalem; daar komen hoeders uit verren lande; en zij verheffen hun stem tegen de steden van Juda. 17Als de wachters der velden zijn zij rondom tegen haar; omdat zij tegen Mij wederspannig geweest is, spreekt de HEERE. 18Uw weg en uw handelingen hebben u deze dingen gedaan; dit is uw boosheid, dat het zo bitter is, dat het tot aan uw hart raakt. 19O mijn ingewand, mijn ingewand! ik heb barenswee, o wanden mijns harten! mijn hart maakt getier in mij, ik kan niet zwijgen; want gij, mijn ziel! hoort het geluid der bazuin en het krijgsgeschrei. 20Breuk op breuk wordt er uitgeroepen; want het ganse land is verstoord; haastelijk zijn mijn tenten verstoord, mijn gordijnen in een ogenblik! 21Hoe lang zal ik de banier zien, het geluid der bazuin horen? 22Zekerlijk, Mijn volk is dwaas, Mij kennen zij niet; het zijn zotte kinderen, en zij zijn niet verstandig; wijs zijn zij om kwaad te doen, maar goed te doen weten zij niet. 23Ik zag het land aan, en ziet, het was woest en ledig; ook naar den hemel, en zijn licht was er niet. 24Ik zag de bergen aan, en ziet, zij beefden; en al de heuvelen schudden. 25Ik zag, en ziet, er was geen mens; en alle vogelen des hemels waren weggevlogen. 26Ik zag, en ziet, het vruchtbare land was een woestijn, en al zijn steden waren afgebroken, vanwege den HEERE, vanwege de hittigheid Zijns toorns. 27Want zo zegt de HEERE: Dit ganse land zal een woestijn zijn (doch Ik zal geen voleinding maken); 28Hierom zal de aarde treuren, en de hemel daarboven zwart zijn; omdat Ik het heb gesproken, Ik heb het voorgenomen en het zal Mij niet rouwen, en Ik zal Mij daarvan niet afkeren. 29Van het geroep der ruiteren en boogschutters vluchten al de steden; zij gaan in de wolken, en klimmen op de rotsen; al de steden zijn verlaten, zodat niemand in dezelve woont. 30Wat zult gij dan doen, gij verwoeste? Al kleeddet gij u met scharlaken, al versierdet gij u met gouden sieraad, al schuurdet gij uw ogen met blanketsel, zo zoudt gij u toch tevergeefs oppronken; de boelen versmaden u, zij zullen uw ziel zoeken. 31Want ik hoor een stem als van een vrouw, die in arbeid is, een benauwdheid als van een, die in des eersten kinds nood is, de stem van de dochter Sions; zij hijgt, zij breidt haar handen uit, zeggende: O, wee mij nu, want mijn ziel is moede vanwege de doodslagers!
