1Sa aba nila na nagpapasiya ng mga likong pasiya, at ng mga manunulat na sumusulat ng mga kasuwailan: 2Upang iligaw sa kahatulan ang mapagkailangan, at upang alisin ang katuwiran ng dukha ng aking bayan, upang ang mga babaing bao ay maging kanilang samsam, at upang kanilang gawing kanilang huli ang mga ulila! 3At ano ang inyong gagawin sa araw ng pagdalaw, at sa kagibaan na manggagaling sa malayo? sa kanino kayo magsisitakas upang kayo'y tulungan? at saan ninyo iiwan ang inyong kaluwalhatian? 4Sila'y magsisiyukod na gaya ng mga bilanggo, at mangabubuwal sa bunton ng mga patay. Sa lahat ng ito ang galit niya ay hindi napawi, kundi ang kaniyang kamay ay laging nakaunat. 5Hoy, taga Asiria, na pamalo ng aking galit, siyang tungkod na kasangkapan ng aking pag-iinit. 6Aking susuguin siya laban sa maruming bansa, at laban sa bayan na aking kinapopootan ay pagbibilinan ko siya, upang manamsam, at upang manunggab, at yapakan sila na parang putik ng mga lansangan. 7Gayon ma'y hindi niya inaakalang gayon, o iniisip mang gayon ng kaniyang puso; kundi ang nasa kaniyang puso ay manggiba, at manglipol ng mga bansa na hindi kakaunti. 8Sapagka't kaniyang sinasabi, Hindi baga ang aking mga pangulo ay hari silang lahat? 9Hindi baga ang calno ay gaya ng Carchemis? hindi ba ang Hamath ay gaya ng Arphad? hindi ba ang Samaria ay gaya ng Damasco? 10Kung paanong nakasumpong ang aking kamay ng mga kaharian ng mga diosdiosan, na ang mga larawan nilang inanyuan ay mga higit ng dami kay sa Jerusalem at sa Samaria; 11Hindi ko baga gagawing gayon sa Jerusalem at sa kaniyang mga diosdiosan, ang gaya ng ginawa ko sa Samaria at sa kaniyang mga diosdiosan? 12Kaya't mangyayari, na pagka naisagawa ng Panginoon ang buo niyang gawain sa bundok ng Sion at sa Jerusalem, aking parurusahan ang kagagawan ng mapagmalaking loob na hari sa Asiria, at ang kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang mga mapagmataas na tingin. 13Sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Aking ginawa ito sa kalakasan ng aking kamay at sa aking karunungan; sapagka't ako'y mabait: at aking binago ang mga hangganan ng mga tao, at ninakaw ko ang kanilang mga kayamanan, at parang matapang na lalake na ibinaba ko silang nangakaupo sa mga luklukan: 14At nasumpungan ng aking kamay na parang pugad ang mga kayamanan ng mga tao; at ako'y namulot sa buong lupa na parang namumulot ng mga itlog na napabayaan: at walang magkilos ng pakpak, o magbuka ng bibig o sumiyap. 15Magmamapuri ba ang palakol laban sa nagpuputol niyaon? Nakapagmamalaki ba ang lagari laban sa humahawak niyaon? gaya ng kung ang pamalo ay makapagpapanginig sa kanila na nagtataas niyaon, o gaya ng kung ang tungkod ay magtataas sa tao na hindi kahoy. 16Kaya't pangangayayatin ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ang kaniyang mga mataba; at sa ilalim ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian ay magkakaroon ng pagniningas na gaya ng ningas na apoy. 17At ang liwanag ng Israel ay magiging pinakaapoy, at ang kaniyang Banal ay pinakaliyab: at magniningas at susupukin ang kaniyang mga tinikan at mga dawag sa isang araw. 18At kaniyang pupugnawin ang kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang gubat, at ng kaniyang pinakikinabangang bukid, ang kaluluwa at gayon din ang katawan: at magiging gaya ng kung nanglulupaypay ang may dala ng watawat. 19At ang nalabi sa mga punong kahoy ng kaniyang gubat ay mangangaunti, na anopat mabibilang ng bata. 20At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na ang nalabi sa Israel, at ang nangakatanan sa sangbahayan ni Jacob, hindi na titiwala pa uli sa kaniya na sumakit sa kanila; kundi titiwala sa Panginoon, sa Banal ng Israel, sa katotohanan. 21Isang nalabi ay manunumbalik, sa makatuwid baga'y ang nalabi sa Jacob, sa makapangyarihang Dios. 22Sapagka't bagaman ang iyong bayang Israel ay magiging parang buhangin sa dagat, ang isang nalabi lamang sa kanila ang manunumbalik: ang pagkalipol ay naipasiya, na magtataglay ng katuwiran. 23Sapagka't ang kagibaan, at ang ipinasiya, gagawin ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, sa gitna ng buong lupa. 24Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Oh bayan kong tumatahan sa Sion, huwag kang matakot sa taga Asiria: bagaman ikaw ay sinaktan niya ng pamalo at nagtaas ng kaniyang tungkod laban sa iyo, ayon sa paraan ng Egipto. 25Sapagka't sangdali pa, at ang pagkagalit ay magaganap, at ang aking galit, sa kanilang ikamamatay. 26At ibabangon ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ang kasakunaan laban sa kaniya, na gaya ng pagpatay sa Madian sa bato ng Oreb: at ang kaniyang panghampas ay malalagay sa dagat, at kaniyang itataas ng ayon sa paraan ng Egipto. 27At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na ang atang niya ay mahihiwalay sa iyong balikat, at ang kaniyang ipinasan sa iyong leeg, at ang ipinasan ay malalagpak dahil sa pinahiran. 28Siya'y dumating sa Ajad, siya'y nagdaan sa Migron; sa Michmas inilalapag niya ang kaniyang mga daladalahan: 29Sila'y nangagdaraan sa landas; sila'y nagsituloy na nangagpahinga sa Geba: ang Rama ay nanginginig; ang Gabaa ni Saul ay tumakas. 30Humiyaw kang malakas ng iyong tinig, Oh anak na babae ng Galim! duminig ka, Oh Lais! Oh ikaw na kaawaawang Anathoth! 31Madmena ay palaboy; ang mga nananahan sa Gebim ay nagtitipon upang magsitakas. 32Sa araw ding ito ay titigil siya sa Nob: kaniyang iniuunat ang kaniyang kamay sa bundok ng anak na babae ng Sion, na burol ng Jerusalem. 33Narito, puputulin ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na kakilakilabot ang mga sanga: at ang mga mataas sa anyo ay ibubuwal, at ang mapagmataas ay ibababa. 34At kaniyang puputulin ang mga siitan ng gubat sa pamamagitan ng bakal, at ang Libano ay mawawasak sa pamamagitan ng isang makapangyarihan.
1Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees; 2to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey! 3What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth? 4They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 5Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation! 6I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7However he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations. 8For he says, “Aren’t all of my princes kings? 9Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?” 10As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 11shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? 12Therefore it will happen that, when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his haughty looks. 13For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers. 14My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.” 15Should an ax brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood. 16Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire. 17The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day. 18He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints. 19The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number. 20It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness. 23For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, in the midst of all the earth. 24Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, says “My people who dwell in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did. 25For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.” 26Yahweh of Armies will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt. 27It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil. 28He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage. 29They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled. 30Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth! 31Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety. 32This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 33Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low. 34He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
1Wee dengenen, die ongerechte inzettingen inzetten, en den schrijvers, die moeite voorschrijven; 2Om de armen van het recht af te wenden, en om het recht der ellendigen Mijns volks te roven, opdat de weduwen hun buit worden, en opdat zij de wezen mogen plunderen! 3Maar wat zult gijlieden doen ten dage der bezoeking, en der verwoesting, die van verre komen zal? Tot wien zult gij vlieden om hulp, en waar zult gij uw heerlijkheid laten? 4Dat elkeen zich niet zou buigen onder de gevangenen, en vallen onder de gedoden? Om dit alles keert Zijn toorn zich niet af, maar Zijn hand is nog uitgestrekt. 5Wee den Assyrier, die de roede Mijns toorns is, en Mijn grimmigheid is een stok in hun hand! 6Ik zal hem zenden tegen een huichelachtig volk, en Ik zal hem bevel geven tegen het volk Mijner verbolgenheid; opdat hij den roof rove, en plundere de plundering, en stelle het ter vertreding, gelijk het slijk der straten. 7Hoewel hij het zo niet meent, en zijn hart alzo niet denkt, maar hij zal in zijn hart hebben te verdelgen, en uit te roeien niet weinige volken. 8Want hij zegt: Zijn niet mijn vorsten al te zamen koningen? 9Is niet Kalno gelijk Karchemis? Is Hamath niet gelijk Arfad? Is niet Samaria gelijk Damaskus? 10Gelijk als mijn hand gevonden heeft de koninkrijken der afgoden, ofschoon hun gesneden beelden beter zijn, dan die van Jeruzalem, en dan die van Samaria; 11Gelijk als ik gedaan heb aan Samaria en aan haar afgoden, zou ik alzo niet kunnen doen aan Jeruzalem en aan haar afgoden? 12Want het zal geschieden, als de HEERE een einde zal gemaakt hebben van al Zijn werk op den berg Sion en te Jeruzalem, dan zal Ik te huis zoeken de vrucht van de grootsheid des harten van den koning van Assyrie, en de pracht van de hoogheid zijner ogen. 13Omdat hij gezegd heeft: Door de kracht mijner hand heb ik het gedaan, en door mijn wijsheid, want ik ben verstandig; en ik heb de landpalen der volken weggenomen, en heb hun voorraad geroofd, en heb als een geweldige de inwoners doen nederdalen; 14En mijn hand heeft gevonden het vermogen der volken, als een nest, en ik heb het ganse aardrijk samengeraapt, gelijk men de eieren die verlaten zijn, samenraapt; en er is niemand geweest, die een vleugel verroerde, of den bek opendeed, of piepte. 15Zal een bijl zich beroemen tegen dien, die daarmede houwt? Zal een zaag pochen tegen dien, die ze trekt? Alsof een staf bewoog degenen, die hem opheffen? Als men een stok opheft, is het geen hout? 16Daarom zal de Heere HEERE der heirscharen onder zijn vetten een magerheid zenden; en onder zijn heerlijkheid zal Hij een brand doen branden, als den brand des vuurs. 17Want het Licht van Israel zal tot een vuur zijn, en zijn Heilige tot een vlam, welke in brand steken en verteren zal zijn doornen en zijn distelen, op een dag. 18Ook zal Hij verteren de heerlijkheid zijns wouds en zijns vruchtbaren velds; van de ziel af, tot het vlees toe; en hij zal zijn, gelijk als wanneer een vaandrager versmelt. 19En de overgebleven bomen zijns wouds zullen weinig in getal zijn, ja, een jongen zou ze opschrijven. 20En het zal geschieden te dien dage, dat het overblijfsel van Israel, en de ontkomenen van het huis Jakobs niet meer steunen zullen op dien, die ze geslagen heeft; maar zij zullen steunen op den HEERE, den Heilige Israels, oprechtelijk. 21Het overblijfsel zal wederkeren, het overblijfsel van Jakob, tot den sterken God! 22Want ofschoon uw volk, o Israel! is gelijk het zand der zee, zo zal toch maar het overblijfsel daarvan wederkeren; de verdelging is vastelijk besloten, overvloeiende met gerechtigheid. 23Want een verdelging, die vastelijk besloten is, zal de Heere HEERE der heirscharen doen in het midden dezes gansen lands. 24Daarom zegt de Heere HEERE der heirscharen alzo: Vreest niet, gij Mijn volk, dat te Sion woont! voor Assur, als hij u met de roede zal slaan, en hij zijn staf tegen u zal opheffen, naar de wijze der Egyptenaren; 25Want nog een klein weinig, zo zal volbracht worden de gramschap, en Mijn toorn tot hun vernieling. 26Want de HEERE der heirscharen zal tegen hem een gesel verwekken, gelijk de slachting van Midian was aan de rots van Oreb; en gelijk Zijn staf over de zee was, denwelken Hij verheffen zal, naar de wijze der Egyptenaren. 27En het zal geschieden ten zelfden dage, dat zijn last zal afwijken van uw schouder, en zijn juk van uw hals; en het juk zal verdorven worden, om des Gezalfden wil. 28Hij komt te Ajath, hij trekt door Migron; te Michmas legt hij zijn gereedschap af. 29Zij trekken door den doorgang, te Geba houden zij hun vernachting; Rama beeft, Gibea Sauls vlucht. 30Roep luide met uw stem, gij dochter van Gallim! laat ze horen tot Lais toe, o ellendige Anathoth! 31Madmena vliedt weg, de inwoners van Gebim vluchten met hopen. 32Nog een dag blijft hij te Nob; hij zal zijn hand bewegen tegen den berg der dochter van Sion, den heuvel van Jeruzalem. 33Doch ziet, de Heere HEERE der heirscharen zal met geweld de takken afkappen, en die hoog van gestalte zijn, zullen nedergehouwen worden; en de verhevenen zullen vernederd worden. 34En Hij zal met ijzer de verwarde struiken des wouds omhouwen; en de Libanon zal vallen door den Heerlijke.
