1In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.27.1 piercing: or, crossing like a bar 2In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. 3I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 4Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.27.4 go…: or, march against 5Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. 6He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7¶ Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?27.7 as…: Heb. according to the stroke of 8In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.27.8 it shooteth…: or, thou sendest it forth27.8 he…: or, when he removeth it with 9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.27.9 images: or, sun images 10Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. 11When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. 13And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
የእስራኤል ዐርነት መውጣት
1በዚያ ቀን እግዚአብሔር፣
ተወርዋሪውን እባብ ሌዋታንን፣
የሚጠቀለለውን ዘንዶ ሌዋታንን
በብርቱ፣ በታላቁና በኀይለኛ ሰይፍ ይቀጣዋል፤
የባሕሩንም ግዙፍ አውሬ ይቈራርጠዋል።
2በዚያን ቀን እንዲህ ይባላል፤
“ለመልካሙ የወይን ቦታ ዘምሩለት፤
3እኔ እግዚአብሔር ጠባቂው ነኝ፤
ዘወትር ውሃ አጠጣዋለሁ፤
ስለዚህ ማንም አይጐዳውም፣
ቀንና ሌሊት እጠብቀዋለሁ፤
4እኔ አልቈጣም።
እሾኽና ኵርንችት ምነው በተነሡብኝ!
ለውጊያ በወጣሁባቸው፣
አንድ ላይ ባቃጠልኋቸው!
5አለዚያ ይምጡና መሸሸጊያቸው ያድርጉኝ፤
ከእኔ ጋር ሰላም ይፍጠሩ፤
አዎን፤ ከእኔ ጋር ሰላም ያድርጉ።”
6በሚመጡት ቀናት ያዕቆብ ሥር ይሰድዳል፤
እስራኤልም ያቈጠቍጣል፣ ያብባልም፤
በፍሬያቸውም ምድርን ሁሉ ይሞላሉ።
7የመቷትን እንደ መታቸው፣
እግዚአብሔር እርሷንስ መታትን?
የገደሏትን እንደ ገደላቸው፣
እርሷስ ተገደለችን?
8በጦርነትና በስደት ተፋለምሃት27፥8 በዕብራይስጡ የዚህ ሐረግ ትርጕም በትክክል አይታወቅም።፤
የምሥራቅ ነፋስ እንደሚነፍስበት ቀን፣
በብርቱ ዐውሎ ነፋስ አሳደድሃት።
9ያዕቆብ የመሠዊያ ድንጋዮችን፣
እንደ ኖራ ድንጋይ ፈጭቶ ሲያደቅቃቸው፣
የአሼራን ዐምድና የዕጣን መሠዊያዎችን፣
ከቦታቸው ነቅሎ ሲጥል፣
በዚያን ጊዜ በደሉ ይሰረይለታል፤
ይህም ኀጢአቱን የማስወገዱ ሙሉ ፍሬ ይሆናል።
10የተመሸገባት ከተማ ባዶዋን ቀርታለች፤
እንደ ምድረ በዳም የተተወች ስፍራ ሆናለች፤
ጥጆች በዚያ ይሰማራሉ፤
እዚያም ይተኛሉ፤
ቅርንጫፎቿንም ልጠው ይበላሉ።
11ጫፎቿ ሲደርቁ ይሰበራሉ፤
ሴቶችም መጥተው ይማግዷቸዋል።
ማስተዋል የሌለው ሕዝብ ስለሆነ፣
ፈጣሪው አይራራለትም፤
ያበጀውም አይምረውም።
12በዚያ ቀን ከኤፍራጥስ ወንዝ አንሥቶ እስከ ግብፅ ደረቅ ወንዝ፣ እግዚአብሔር እህሉን ይወቃል፤ እናንተም የእስራኤል ልጆች ሆይ፤ አንድ በአንድ ትሰበሰባላችሁ። 13በዚያ ቀን ታላቅ መለከት ይነፋል፤ በአሦር የጠፉትና በግብፅ የተሰደዱትም መጥተው፣ በተቀደሰው ተራራ በኢየሩሳሌም እግዚአብሔርን ያመልካሉ።
