1 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord.

1 Onus verbi Domini in terra Hadrach
et Damasci requiei ejus,
quia Domini est oculus hominis et omnium tribuum Israël.

2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

2 Emath quoque in terminis ejus, et Tyrus, et Sidon:
assumpserunt quippe sibi sapientiam valde.

3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

3 Et ædificavit Tyrus munitionem suam,
et coacervavit argentum quasi humum,
et aurum ut lutum platearum.

4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

4 Ecce Dominus possidebit eam:
et percutiet in mari fortitudinem ejus,
et hæc igni devorabitur.

5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

5 Videbit Ascalon, et timebit,
et Gaza, et dolebit nimis,
et Accaron, quoniam confusa est spes ejus:
et peribit rex de Gaza,
et Ascalon non habitabitur.

6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

6 Et sedebit separator in Azoto,
et disperdam superbiam Philisthinorum.

7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

7 Et auferam sanguinem ejus de ore ejus,
et abominationes ejus de medio dentium ejus:
et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro,
et erit quasi dux in Juda,
et Accaron quasi Jebusæus.

8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

8 Et circumdabo domum meam
ex his qui militant mihi euntes et revertentes:
et non transibit super eos ultra exactor,
quia nunc vidi in oculis meis.

9 ¶ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

9 ¶ Exsulta satis, filia Sion;
jubila, filia Jerusalem:
ecce rex tuus veniet tibi justus, et salvator:
ipse pauper, et ascendens super asinam
et super pullum filium asinæ.

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 heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

10 Et disperdam quadrigam ex Ephraim,
et equum de Jerusalem,
et dissipabitur arcus belli:
et loquetur pacem gentibus,
et potestas ejus a mari usque ad mare,
et a fluminibus usque ad fines terræ.

11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

11 Tu quoque in sanguine testamenti tui
emisisti vinctos tuos de lacu in quo non est aqua.

12 ¶ Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

12 Convertimini ad munitionem, vincti spei:
hodie quoque annuntians duplicia reddam tibi.

13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

13 Quoniam extendi mihi Judam quasi arcum:
implevi Ephraim:
et suscitabo filios tuos, Sion,
super filios tuos, Græcia:
et ponam te quasi gladium fortium.

14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

14 Et Dominus Deus super eos videbitur,
et exibit ut fulgur jaculum ejus:
et Dominus Deus in tuba canet,
et vadet in turbine austri.

15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

15 Dominus exercituum proteget eos:
et devorabunt, et subjicient lapidibus fundæ:
et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi a vino,
et replebuntur ut phialæ,
et quasi cornua altaris.

16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

16 Et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum in die illa,
ut gregem populi sui,
quia lapides sancti elevabuntur super terram ejus.

17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

17 Quid enim bonum ejus est,
et quid pulchrum ejus,
nisi frumentum electorum,
et vinum germinans virgines?
