| 1 Oráculo. | La palabra del Señor llegó a la tierra de Jadrac | y se detuvo en Damasco. | En el Señor están puestos los ojos de Siria | y de todas las tribus de Israel; | 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. |
| 2 también de Jamat, su vecina; | de Tiro y Sidón, donde abunda la sabiduría. | 2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. |
| 3 Tiro se ha construido una fortaleza, | ha amontonado plata como polvo | y oro como barro de las calles. | 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. |
| 4 Pero el Señor va a apoderarse de ella, | echará al mar su fortaleza | y el fuego la devorará. | 4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. |
| 5 Lo verá Asquelón y temblará, | Gaza se retorcerá de dolor, | como Ecrón, al perder su esperanza. | Se suprimirá al rey de Gaza, | Asquelón quedará deshabitada | 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. |
| 6 y habitarán bastardos en Asdod. | Troncharé el orgullo de los filisteos, | 6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. |
| 7 quitaré su sangre de su boca | y sus abominaciones de entre sus labios. | También él quedará | como un resto para nuestro Dios; | será como un jefe de Judá, | y Ecrón como un jebuseo. | 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. |
| 8 Acamparé junto a mi casa y la protegeré | de los ejércitos que merodean. | Y ya no pasará sobre ellos el opresor, | pues en adelante yo mismo la vigilaré. | 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. |
| 9 ¡Salta de gozo, Sión; | alégrate, Jerusalén! | Mira que viene tu rey, | justo y triunfador, | pobre y montado en un borrico, | en un pollino de asna. | 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. |
| 10 Suprimirá los carros de Efraín | y los caballos de Jerusalén; | romperá el arco guerrero | y proclamará la paz a los pueblos. | Su dominio irá de mar a mar, | desde el Río hasta los extremos del país. | 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 river even to the ends of the earth. |
| 11 En cuanto a ti, por la sangre de tu alianza, | sacaré a tus prisioneros del pozo | donde no hay agua. | 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. |
| 12 Volved de la fortaleza, | prisioneros de la esperanza. | Hoy mismo os lo anuncio: | ¡voy a devolverte el doble! | 12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; |
| 13 He tensado para mí a Judá, | empuño como arco a Efraín; | lanzo a los hijos de Sión | contra los hijos de Yaván; | te empuñaré como espada de héroe. | 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. |
| 14 El Señor aparecerá sobre ellos, | su flecha saldrá como rayo; | el Señor Dios tocará el cuerno, | avanzará entre tormentas de bochorno. | 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. |
| 15 El Señor del universo los protegerá, | devorarán la carne de los honderos; | beberán y harán ruido como los borrachos, | estarán llenos como copas de ofrendas, | como las esquinas del altar. | 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. |
| 16 Aquel día les salvará el Señor su Dios, | salvará a su pueblo como a ovejas; | serán como piedras preciosas, | como estandarte en su país. | 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. |
| 17 ¡Qué prosperidad y qué hermosura!: | el trigo hará crecer a sus jóvenes | y el vino a sus doncellas. | 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. |
