Isaiah 21 The vision of the wilderness. As a blast might go through a wilderness, from out of the wilderness coming from land;

ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G3588 The G3705 vision G3588 of the G2048 wilderness. G5613 As G2616.6 a blast G1223 [²through G2048 ³a wilderness G1330 ¹might go], G1537 from out of G2048 the wilderness G2064 coming G1537 from G1093 land;

2 G5398 so a fearful G3588 G3705 [³vision G2532 ¹and G4642 ²hard] G312 was announced G1473 to me; G3588 the G114 one disregarding G114 disregards; G3588 the G457.1 one acting lawlessly G457.1 acts lawlessly. G1909 [³ are upon G1473 ⁴me G3588 ¹The G* ²Elamites], G2532 and G3588 the G4244.1 ambassadors G3588 of the G* Persians G1909 [²against G1473 ³me G2064 ¹come]. G3568 Now G4727 I shall moan G2532 and G3870 shall comfort G1683 myself.

3 G1223 Because of G3778 this G1705 [²was filled G3588 G3751 ¹my loin] G1473 G1589.3 with feebleness, G2532 and G5604 pangs G2983 took G1473 me G5613 as G3588 the G5088 one giving birth. G91 I transgressed G3588 G3361 to not G191 hear, G4704 I hurried G3588 G3361 to not G991 see.

4 G3588 G2588 My heart G1473 G4105 wanders, G2532 and G3588 G458 lawlessness G1473 immerses me; G907 G3588 G5590 my soul G1473 G2186 attends G1519 to G5401 fear.

5 G2090 Prepare G3588 the G5132 table! G2068 Eat! G4095 Drink! G450 Rising up G3588 are the G758 rulers. G385 Pull up G2375 shields!

6 G3754 For G3779 thus G2036 said G2962 the lord G4314 to G1473 me, G897.2 Proceeding, G4572 [²yourself G2476 ¹stand] G4649 as watchman, G2532 and G3739 whatever G302 G1492 you should behold G312 announce!

7 G2532 And G1492 I saw G306.3 riders -- G2460 [²horsemen G1417 ¹two], G306.3 a rider G3688 of a donkey, G2532 and G306.3 a rider G2574 of a camel. G200.1 Listen G200.2 [²hearing G4183 ¹with great]!

8 G2532 And G2564 call G* Uriah G1519 to G3588 the G4648.1 watchtower G2962 of the lord! G2532 And G2036 he said, G2476 I stood G1275 always G2250 by day, G2532 and G1909 over G3588 the G3925 camp G2476 I stood G3650 all G3588 the G3571 night.

9 G2532 And G2400 behold, G1473 he G2064 comes -- G306.3 a rider G3586.4 of a double chariot; G2532 and G611 responding G2036 he said, G4098 Has fallen, G4098 has fallen, G* Babylon G2532 and G3956 all G3588 G21.1 her statues; G1473 G2532 and G3588 G5499 her handmade idols G1473 G4937 were broken G1519 unto G3588 the G1093 ground.

10 G191 Hear! G3588 O ones G2641 being left behind, G2532 and, G3588 O ones G3600 grieving. G191 Hear G3739 what G191 I heard G3844 from G2962 the lord G4519 of Hosts! G3588 what the G2316 God G3588 G* of Israel G312 announced G1473 to you.

11 G3588 The G3705 vision G3588 G* of Edom. G4314 [²to G1473 ³me G2564 ¹He called] G3844 from G3588 G* Seir. G5442 Guard G1874.2 the parapets!

12 G5442 I guard G4404 in the morning, G2532 and G3588 the G3571 night; G1437 if G2212 you should seek, G2212 seek; G2532 and G3844 [²with G1473 ³me G3611 ¹live]!

13 G1722 In G3588 the G1409.1 forest G2073 by evening G2837 you shall bed down G1722 in G3588 the G3598 way G* of Dedan;

14 G1519 for G4877 meeting with G1372 the one thirsting G5204 [²water G5342 ¹bring]! G3588 O ones G1774 dwelling G1722 in G5561 the place G* of Tema. G740 [²with bread loaves G4876 ¹Meet] G3588 the ones G5343 fleeing!

15 G1223 because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 of the G2932.1 ones being slain, G2532 and G1223 because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 of the ones G4105 wandering, G2532 and G1223 because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 of the G3162 swords, G2532 and G1223 because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 of the G5114.1 bows G3588 of the ones G1299.1 being extended, G2532 and G1223 because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 of the G4098 ones fallen G1722 in G3588 the G4171 battle.

16 G3754 For G3779 thus G2036 [²said G1473 ³to me G2962 ¹ the lord], G2089 Yet G1763 a year, G5613 as G1763 the year G3411 of a hireling, G1587 [⁴shall fail G3588 ¹the G1391 ²glory G* ³of Kedar].

17 G2532 And G3588 the G2645 remnant G3588 of the G5114.1 [²bowmen G3588 G2478 ¹strong] G5207 of the sons G* of Kedar G1510.8.3 will be G3641 few. G1360 For G2962 the lord G3588 G2316 God G* of Israel G2980 spoke.

1 H4853 The burden H4057 of the desert H3220 of the sea. H5492 As whirlwinds H5045 in the south H2498 [H8800] pass H935 [H8802] through; so it cometh H4057 from the desert, H3372 [H8737] from a terrible H776 land.

2 H7186 A grievous H2380 vision H5046 [H8717] is declared H898 [H8802] to me; the treacherous dealer H898 [H8802] dealeth treacherously, H7703 [H8802] and the spoiler H7703 [H8802] plundereth. H5927 [H8798] Go up, H5867 O Elam: H6696 [H8798] besiege, H4074 O Media; H585 all its sighing H7673 [H8689] have I made to cease.

3 H4975 Therefore are my loins H4390 [H8804] filled H2479 with pain: H6735 pangs H270 [H8804] have taken hold H6735 upon me, as the pangs H3205 [H8802] of a woman that travaileth: H5753 [H8738] I was bent H8085 [H8800] at the hearing of it; H926 [H8738] I trembled H7200 [H8800] at the seeing of it.

4 H3824 My heart H8582 [H8804] panted, H6427 fearfulness H1204 [H8765] terrified H5399 me: the night H2837 of my pleasure H7760 [H8804] hath he turned H2731 into fear to me.

5 H6186 [H8800] Prepare H7979 the table, H6822 [H8800] watch H6844 in the watchtower, H398 [H8800] eat, H8354 [H8800] drink: H6965 [H8798] arise, H8269 ye princes, H4886 [H8798] and anoint H4043 the shield.

6 H136 For thus hath the Sovereign H559 [H8804] said H3212 [H8798] to me, Go, H5975 [H8685] set H6822 [H8764] a watchman, H5046 [H8686] let him declare H7200 [H8799] what he seeth.

7 H7200 [H8804] And he saw H7393 a chariot H6776 with a couple H6571 of horsemen, H7393 a chariot H2543 of donkeys, H7393 and a chariot H1581 of camels; H7181 [H8689] and he pricked up his ear H7182 diligently H7227 with much H7182 heed:

8 H7121 [H8799] And he called, H738 A lion: H136 My sovereign, H5975 [H8802] I stand H8548 continually H4707 upon the watchtower H3119 in the daytime, H5324 [H8737] and I am set H4931 in my post H3915 whole nights:

9 H935 [H8802] And, behold, here cometh H7393 a chariot H376 of men, H6776 with a couple H6571 of horsemen. H6030 [H8799] And he answered H559 [H8799] and said, H894 Babylon H5307 [H8804] is fallen, H5307 [H8804] is fallen; H6456 and all the graven images H430 of her gods H7665 [H8765] he hath broken H776 to the earth.

10 H4098 O my threshing, H1121 and the grain H1637 of my floor: H8085 [H8804] that which I have heard H3068 from the LORD H6635 of hosts, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H5046 [H8689] have I declared to you.

11 H4853 The burden H1746 of Dumah. H7121 [H8802] He calleth H8165 to me out of Seir, H8104 [H8802] Watchman, H3915 what of the night? H8104 [H8802] Watchman, H3915 what of the night?

12 H8104 [H8802] The watchman H559 [H8804] said, H1242 The morning H857 [H8804] cometh, H3915 and also the night: H1158 [H8799] if ye will enquire, H1158 [H8798] enquire H7725 [H8798] ye: return, H857 [H8798] come.

13 H4853 The burden H6152 upon Arabia. H3293 In the forest H6152 in Arabia H3885 [H8799] shall ye lodge, H736 O ye travelling companies H1720 of Dedanim.

14 H3427 [H8802] The inhabitants H776 of the land H8485 of Tema H857 [H8689] brought H4325 water H7125 [H8800] to him H6771 that was thirsty, H6923 [H8765] they met H3899 with their bread H5074 [H8802] him that fled.

15 H5074 [H8804] For they fled H6440 from H2719 the swords, H6440 from H5203 [H8803] the drawn H2719 sword, H6440 and from H1869 [H8803] the bent H7198 bow, H6440 and from H3514 the grievousness H4421 of war.

16 H136 For thus hath the Sovereign H559 [H8804] said H8141 to me, Within a year, H8141 according to the years H7916 of an hireling, H3519 and all the glory H6938 of Kedar H3615 [H8804] shall fail:

17 H7605 And the remainder H4557 of the number H7198 of archers, H1368 the mighty men H1121 of the sons H6938 of Kedar, H4591 [H8799] shall be diminished: H3068 for the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H1696 [H8765] hath spoken it.

As whirlewyndis comen fro the southwest, it cometh fro desert, fro the orible lond. ² An hard reuelacioun is teld to me; he that is vnfeithful, doith vnfeithfuli; and he that is a distriere, distrieth. Thou Helam, stie, and thou, Meda, biseche; Y made al the weilyng therof for to ceesse. ³ Therfor my leendis ben fillid with sorewe; angwische weldide me, as the angwisch of a womman trauelynge of child; Y felle doun, whanne Y herde; Y was disturblid, whanne Y siy. ⁴ Myn herte fadide, derknessis astonieden me; Babiloyne, my derlyng, is set to me in to myracle. ⁵ Sette thou a boord, biholde thou in to a toting place; rise, ye princes, etynge and drynkynge, take ye scheeld. ⁶ For whi the Lord seide these thingis to me, Go thou, and sette a lokere; and telle he, what euer thing he seeth. ⁷ And he siy the chare of tweyne horse men, the stiere of an asse, and the stiere of a camel; and he bihelde diligentli with myche lokyng, ⁸ and criede as a lioun, Y stonde contynueli bi dai on the totyng place of the Lord, and Y stonde bi alle nyytis on my kepyng. ⁹ Lo! this cometh, a man stiere of a carte of horse men.

In the forest at euentid ye schulen slepe, in the pathis of Dodanym. ¹⁴ Ye that dwellen in the lond of the south, renne, and bere watir to the thristi; and renne ye with looues to hym that fleeth. ¹⁵ For thei fledden fro the face of swerdis, fro the face of swerd neiyynge, fro the face of bouwe bent, fro the face of greuouse batel. ¹⁶ For the Lord seith these thingis to me, Yit in o yeer, as in the yeer of an hirid man, and al the glorie of Cedar schal be takun awei. ¹⁷ And the remenauntis of the noumbre of stronge archeris of the sones of Cedar schulen be maad lesse; for whi the Lord God of Israel spak.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ This is the heuy burthe of the waist see: A greuous visio was shewed vnto me, like as when a storme of wynde and rayne russheth in from the wyldernesse, that terrible londe. ² Who so maye disceaue (sayde the voyce) let him disceaue: Who so maye distroye, let him distroye. Vp Elam, besege it o Madai, for I will still all their gronynges. ³ With this, the raynes of my backe were ful of payne: Panges came vpon me, as vpon a woman in hir trauayle. When I herde it, I was abasshed: and whe I loked vp, I was afrayde. ⁴ Myne herte paunted, I trembled for feare. The darcknesse made me fearfull in my mynde. ⁵ Yee soone make redy the table (sayde this voyce) kepe the watch, eate and drynke: Vp ye captaynes, take you to youre shylde, ⁶ for thus the LORDE hath charged me: go thy waye, and set a watchma, that he maye tell what he seyth. ⁷ And whe he had wayted diligetly, he sawe two horsmen: the one rydinge vpon an Asse, the other vpon a camel. ⁸ And the lyon cried: LORDE, I haue stonde waytinge all the whole daye, and haue kepte my watch all the night. ⁹ With yt came there one rydinge vpon a charet, which answered, and sayde Babilon is fallen, she is turned vpsyde downe, and all ye ymages of hir goddes are smytten to ye grounde. ¹⁰ This (o my felowe throsshers and fanners) haue I herde of the LORDE of hoostes the God of Israel, to shewe it vnto you. ¹¹ The heuy burthen of Duma. One of Seir cried vnto me: watchman, what hast thou espied by night? Watchman, what hast thou espied by night? ¹² The watchman answered: The daye breaketh on, and the night is comynge: Yf youre request be earnest, then axe, and come agayne. ¹³ The heuy burthen vpon Arabia. At euen ye shal abyde in the wod, in the waye toward Dedanim. ¹⁴ Mete the thurstie with water, (o ye citisens of Hema) mete those with bred that are fled. ¹⁵ For thei shal runne awaye from the weapen, from the drawe swerde, from the bet bowe, and from the greate batell. ¹⁶ For thus hath the LORDE spoken vnto me: ouer a yeare shal all the power of Cedar be gone, like as when the office of an hyred seruaunte goeth out: ¹⁷ And the remnaunt of the good Archers of Cedar, shalbe very few: For the LORDE God of Israel hath spoken it.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ This is the heavy burden of the waste sea: A grievous vision was showed unto me, even as the stormy weather that passeth through at the noonday, to come from the wilderness, from that horrible land. ² Whoso may deceive, said the voice, let him deceive: Who so may destroy, let him destroy. Up Elam, besiege it O Media, for I will still all their groanings. ³ With this, the reins of my back were full of pain: Pangs came upon me, as upon a woman in her travail. It made me stoop when I heard it, and it vexed me when I saw it. ⁴ My heart panted, I trembled for fear. The night of my voluptuousness hath he turned against me into fear. ⁵ While they garnished the table, the watchman looked: and while he was eating and drinking it was said, "Up, ye Captains, take you to your shield." ⁶ For thus the Lord hath charged me: "Go thy way, and set a watchman, that he may tell what he seeth." ⁷ And when he had waited diligently, he saw two horsemen: the one riding upon an Ass, the other upon a camel. ⁸ And the watchman cried, "LORD, I have stood waiting all the whole day, and am appointed to keep my watch every night. ⁹ And behold, here cometh a chariot of men with two horsemen." And he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! She is turned upside down, and all the images of her gods are smitten to the ground!" ¹⁰ This, O my fellow threshers and fanners, have I heard of the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to show it unto you. ¹¹ The heavy burden of Dumah. He calleth unto me, out of of Seir, "Watchman, what hast thou espied by night? Watchman, what hast thou espied by night?" ¹² The watchman answered, "The morning cometh, and so doth the night. If ye will ask any question, then ask it, return and come again." ¹³ The heavy burden upon Arabia. At even ye shall abide in the wood, in the way toward Dedanim. ¹⁴ Meet the thirsty with water, O ye citizens of Tema; meet those with bread that are fled. ¹⁵ For they shall run away from the weapon, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the great battle. ¹⁶ For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, "There is yet a year according to the years of a hired servant, and all the glory of the Cedar shall fail. ¹⁷ And the number of them that shall escape from the bows shall be minished by the mighty children of Cedar: For the LORD God of Israel hath spoken."

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thys is the heauy burthen of the waste sea: A greuous vysion was shewed vnto me, lyke as when a storme of winde & rayn russheth in from the wildernesse that terrible land. ² Who so may disceyue (said the voyce) let him disceyue. Who so may destroye, let him dystroye. Vp Elam, besege it O Madai, for I wyl styl al their groninges. ³ With this the raynes of my backe were full of payne: Panges came vpon me, as vpon a woman in her trauayle. When I hearde it, I was abasshed, and when I loked vp, I was afrayde. ⁴ Myne herte panted, I trembled for feare. The darcknesse made me fearfull in in my mynde. ⁵ Yea sone make ready the table (sayde this voyce) kepe the watch, eate & dryncke.

The treacherous dealeth treacherously; the transgressor transgresseth; the Elamites are upon me; and the elders of the Persians are coming against me. Am I now to groan and comfort myself? ³ For this cause my loins are filled with fainting; pangs have seized me like a woman in travail. I did wrong not to hear; I shuddered so that I could not see. ⁴ My heart is bewildered, transgression overwhelmeth me. My soul is on the brink of despair. ⁵ Prepare the table. Eat, drink ye chiefs. Having arisen prepare shields. ⁶ Because thus the Lord said to me, "Go set a watchman for thyself and proclaim what thou seest." ⁷ Thereupon I beheld a chariot with two riders, and a rider on an ass and a rider on a camel. ⁸ "Listen with the utmost attention, "said the Lord, "and call A fair breeze to the watch tower" I have kept my station all the day long, and by the camp I have stood the whole night; ⁹ and behold here cometh a man riding in a chariot, and addressing me he said, "It is fallen! Babylon is fallen! and all her images, and all the works of her hands are dashed on the ground." ¹⁰ Hear this ye who have been forsaken! and ye, who have been sorely grieved, hear what I have heard from the Lord of Hosts: what the God of Israel hath announced to us. ¹¹ The vision concerning Idumea.

7 H7200 [H8804] And he saw H7393 a chariot H6776 with a couple H6571 of horsemen H7393 , a chariot H2543 of donkeys H7393 , and a chariot H1581 of camels H7181 [H8689] ; and he hearkened H7182 diligently H7227 with much H7182 heed:

8 H7121 [H8799] And he cried H738 , A lion H136 : My lord H5975 [H8802] , I stand H8548 continually H4707 upon the watchtower H3119 in the daytime H5324 [H8737] , and I am set H4931 in my post H3915 whole nights:

9 H935 [H8802] And, behold, here cometh H7393 a chariot H376 of men H6776 , with a couple H6571 of horsemen H6030 [H8799] . And he answered H559 [H8799] and said H894 , Babylon H5307 [H8804] is fallen H5307 [H8804] , is fallen H6456 ; and all the graven images H430 of her gods H7665 [H8765] he hath broken H776 to the ground.

10 H4098 O my threshing H1121 , and the grain H1637 of my floor H8085 [H8804] : that which I have heard H3068 from the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H5046 [H8689] , have I declared to you.

11 H4853 The burden H1746 of Dumah H7121 [H8802] . He calleth H8165 to me out of Seir H8104 [H8802] , Watchman H3915 , what of the night H8104 [H8802] ? Watchman H3915 , what of the night?

12 H8104 [H8802] The watchman H559 [H8804] said H1242 , The morning H857 [H8804] cometh H3915 , and also the night H1158 [H8799] : if ye will enquire H1158 [H8798] , enquire H7725 [H8798] ye: return H857 [H8798] , come.

14 H3427 [H8802] The inhabitants H776 of the land H8485 of Tema H857 [H8689] brought H4325 water H7125 [H8800] to him H6771 that was thirsty H6923 [H8765] , they met H3899 with their bread H5074 [H8802] him that fled.

15 H5074 [H8804] For they fled H6440 from H2719 the swords H6440 , from H5203 [H8803] the drawn H2719 sword H6440 , and from H1869 [H8803] the bent H7198 bow H6440 , and from H3514 the grievousness H4421 of war.

16 H136 For thus hath the Lord H559 [H8804] said H8141 to me, Within a year H8141 , according to the years H7916 of an hireling H3519 , and all the glory H6938 of Kedar H3615 [H8804] shall fail:

17 H7605 And the remainder H4557 of the number H7198 of archers H1368 , the mighty men H1121 of the children H6938 of Kedar H4591 [H8799] , shall be diminished H3068 : for the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H1696 [H8765] hath spoken it.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, even from such a land, ² so a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see. ⁴ My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear. ⁵ Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and prepare your shields. ⁶ For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for thyself, and declare whatever thou shalt see. ⁷ And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel. ⁸ Hearken with great attention, and call thou Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all night: ⁹ and, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground. ¹⁰ Hear, ye that are left, and ye that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts which the God of Israel has declared to us. ¹¹ THE VISION OF IDUMEA. Call to me out of Seir; guard ye the bulwarks. ¹² I watch in the morning and the night: if thou wouldest enquire, enquire, and dwell by me. ¹³ Thou mayest lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan. ¹⁴ Ye that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty; ¹⁵ meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war. ¹⁶ For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, and the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail: ¹⁷ and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The doom of the desert by the sea. As tempests in the south blow with fury; so doth it come from the desert, from a terrible land. ² A hard vision hath been told unto me; the traitor dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. “Go up, O ‘Elam; besiege, O Media;” all sighing have I caused to cease. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed to see. ⁴ My heart wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror. ⁵ Prepare the table, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus hath said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell. ⁷ And he will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen diligently with much heed: ⁸ And he calleth like a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the nights. ⁹ And, behold, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered unto the ground. ¹⁰ O my down-trodden people, and the son of my threshingfloor: that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I told unto you. ¹¹ The doom of Dumah. Unto me one calleth out of Se’ir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? ¹² The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will desire, desire ye; return, come again. ¹³ The doom upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanim. ¹⁴ Toward him that is thirsty they bring water; the inhabitants of the land of Thema meet with suitable bread the fugitive. ¹⁵ Because from the swords are they fled, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the pressure of war. ¹⁶ For thus hath said the Lord unto me, Within yet one year, like the years of a hired laborer, shall all the glory of Kedar be at an end: ¹⁷ And the residue of the number of bows of the mighty men of the children of Kedar shall be small; for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden of the wilderness of the sea. `Like hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, From a fearful land. ² A hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused to cease. ³ Therefore filled have been my loins with great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing. ⁴ Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me, ⁵ Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield, ⁶ For thus said the Lord unto me: `Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.' ⁷ And he hath seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention—He hath increased attention! ⁸ And he crieth—a lion, `On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights. ⁹ And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: `Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth. ¹⁰ O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!'
¹¹ The burden of Dumah. Unto me is one calling from Seir `Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?' ¹² The watchman hath said, `Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.'
¹³ The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim. ¹⁴ To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive. ¹⁵ For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle. ¹⁶ For thus said the Lord unto me: `Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar. ¹⁷ And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!'

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden of the desert of the sea.

Go up, O Elam: press, O Media; all her sighing I caused to cease. ³ For this, my loins were filled with pain: distress took hold of me as the pains of her bringing forth: I was shaken from hearing; I trembled from seeing ⁴ My heart wandered; trembling made me afraid: the evening twilight of my desire he put to me for fear. ⁵ Set in order the table; view the watch-tower; eat, drink: arise ye chiefs, anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus said Jehovah to me, Go set up a watchman, he shall announce what he shall see. ⁷ He will see a chariot, a pair of horse men, the rider of an ass, the rider of a camel; and listening, he listened with much attention. ⁸ And he will call, A lion: on the watch-tower my lord, I stand continually in the day, and upon my watch I stand all the night ⁹ And behold, here came a chariot, a man, a pair of horsemen. And he will answer and say, She fell, Babel fell; and the carved images of her god he brake in pieces to the earth. ¹⁰ O my threshing, and the son of my threshing-floor, what I heard from Jehovah of armies the God of Israel, I announced to you. ¹¹ The burden of Dumah.

In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, ye wayfarers of Dedanim. ¹⁴ To meet the thirsty, bring ye water, O inhabitants of the land of Tema: anticipate ye him wandering, with bread. ¹⁵ For they fled from the face of the swords, the sword drawn out, and from the face of the bent bow, and from the face of the heaviness of war. ¹⁶ For thus said the Lord to me, Within yet a year; as the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar was finished. ¹⁷ And the rest of the bows of the strong sons of Kedar shall be few: for Jehovah God of Israel spake.

All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.' ³ Therefore are my loins filled with convulsion; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bent so that I cannot hear; I am affrighted so that I cannot see. ⁴ My heart is bewildered, terror hath overwhelmed me; the twilight that I longed for hath been turned for me into trembling. ⁵ They prepare the table, they light the lamps, they eat, they drink - 'Rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield.' ⁶ For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth! ⁷ And when he seeth a troop, horsemen by pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed. ⁸ And he cried as a lion: 'Upon the watch-tower, O Lord, I stand continually in the daytime, and I am set in my ward all the nights.' ⁹ And, behold, there came a troop of men, horsemen by pairs. And he spoke and said: 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.' ¹⁰ O thou my threshing, and the winnowing of my floor, that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you. ¹¹ The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir: 'Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?' ¹² The watchman said: 'The morning cometh, and also the night - if ye will inquire, inquire ye; return, come.' ¹³ The burden upon Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanites. ¹⁴ Unto him that is thirsty bring ye water! The inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitive with his bread. ¹⁵ For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. ¹⁶ For thus hath the Lord said unto me: 'Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail; ¹⁷ and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished; for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.'

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The oracle on the desert of the sea: As storm–winds in the South which, with a rush from the desert, do come from a terrible land, ² [So] hath, a grievous vision, been told me:––The deceiver, is deceiving, And, the spoiler, is spoiling, Go up, O Elam, Besiege, O Media, All the sighing she hath caused, have I made to cease. ³ For this cause, are my loins filled, with anguish, Pangs, have seized me, as the pangs of her that is giving birth,––I writhe, so that I cannot hear, I tremble, so that I cannot see: ⁴ My heart fluttereth, A horror, terrifieth me,––My twilight of pleasure, hath he turned for me into a time of trembling. ⁵ [Ye thought] to prepare the table––spread the mat––eat––drink! . . . Arise, ye chieftains, anoint the shield! ⁶ For, thus, hath My Lord said, unto me,––Go, set the watchman, What he seeth, let him tell! ⁷ When he seeth, A train of horsemen in double rank, A train of asses, A train of camels, Then shall he hearken attentively, with diligent heed. ⁸ Then cried he, A lion! On the watch, O My Lord, had I, been standing continually, by day, And, at my post, had I, been stationed whole nights; –– ⁹ When lo! here was a train of men coming, With horsemen in double rank,––And one began and said, Fallen! fallen! is Babylon, And, all the images of her gods, are smashed to the ground! ¹⁰ O thou My threshing! And the grain of my corn–floor! That which I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Have I declared, unto you.
¹¹ The oracle on Dumah: Unto me, is one crying––out of Seir, Watchman! how far gone is the night? Watchman! how far gone is the night? ¹² Said the watchman, There cometh a morning, But also, a night,––If ye will enquire, enquire, ye––Come, again!
¹³ The oracle on Arabia,––Among the shrubs in Arabia, must ye lodge, Ye caravans of Dedanites. ¹⁴ To meet the thirsty, bring ye water,––Ye dwellers in the land of Tema; With bread for him, get in advance of him that is in flight! ¹⁵ For, before swords, have they fled: Before a sword that is drawn, Before a bow that is bent, And before the stress of war. ¹⁶ For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me,––Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fail all the glory of Kedar; ¹⁷ And, the remnant of the record of bowmen, The heroes of the sons of Kedar, Shall become few; For, Yahweh, God of Israel, hath spoken.

Ottley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The vision of the desert. ¶ As a tempest passeth through the desert, coming from a desert, from the land. Fearful ² Is the vision, and hard, that was proclaimed to me. He that setteth at nought doth set at nought, and he that transgresseth doth transgress. ¶ The Elamites are upon me, and the envoys of the Persians are coming against me. Now will I mourn, and will comfort myself. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with faintness, and pangs have taken hold of me, as her that travaileth; I did wrong, so as not to hear, I laboured earnestly so as not to see. ⁴ My heart wandereth, and my transgression overwhelmeth me; my soul turneth to fear. ⁵ Prepare the table, eat, drink; stand up, ye rulers, and prepare shields. ⁶ For thus saith the Lord to me, Go, set thee a watchman, and whatsoever thou seest, tell it. ⁷ And I saw two mounted horsemen, one mounted on an ass, and one mounted on a camel. Hear with diligent hearing, ⁸ And call Uriah to the watch tower of the Lord. And he said, I have stood continually by day, and over the camp I stood the whole night, ⁹ And behold, he himself cometh, mounted on a two-horse chariot. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen: and all her images and the works of her hands are crushed into the earth. ¹⁰ Hear, ye that are left, and are in anguish, hear what I have heard from the Lord of Hosts: the God of Israel hath proclaimed it to us. ¹¹ ¶ The vision of Idumaea. ¶ To me ye call from Seir, Watch ye (the) battlements. ¹² I watch at morning, and through the night; if thou inquire, inquire, and dwell beside me. ¹³ In the forest shalt thou le down at evening, in the way of Dedan. ¹⁴ Bring water to the thirsty to meet him, ye that dwell in the land of Teman; meet ye with loaves them that flee ¹⁵ Because of the multitude of them that flee, and because of the multitude of them that wander, and because of the multitude of the sword, and because of the multitude of the bows that are bent, and because of the multitude of them that are fallen in the war. ¹⁶ For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of a hireling, the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail, ¹⁷ And the remnant of the bows of the strong sons of Kedar shall be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ LOAD OF THE WILDERNESSES As sweeping whirlwinds in the south rim pass on, from the wilderness coming, from a fearful land, ² a hard vision is told to me; the treacherous one is treacherous, and the devastator is devastating. Against me is Elam! And against me the agents of Media are coming! Now all sighing through it I cause to cease." ³ Therefore my waist is full with sore travail, and throes hold me as the throes of a bearing woman. I am depraved from hearing, flustered from seeing it." ⁴ My heart has strayed; shuddering frightens me. The soul to which I am attached brings me into trembling. ⁵ Arrange the table! Watch, yea, watch! Eat! Drink! Rise, chiefs! Anoint the shield!" ⁶ For thus says my Lord to me, "Go! Install the watchman. What he shall see, he shall tell." ⁷ For he may see a chariot, a pair of men, horsemen, a rider on an ass, a rider on a camel.And he attends attentively with much attention." ⁸ And he is calling, "I am seeing on the watch, my lord! I am standing continually by day, and I am stationed on my charge all the nights." ⁹ And behold this! Coming is a chariot with men, a pair of horsemen! And he is responding and saying, `Fallen! Fallen is Babylon! And all the carvings and her forbidden idols are broken to the earth.'" ¹⁰ My threshed people! And the son of my threshing site! What I hear from Yahweh of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, I tell to you." ¹¹ LOAD OF DUME For me is a call from the gate, "Guard! What of the night? Guard! What of the night, guard of the rampart? ¹² Says the guard, "The morning has arrived, and, moreover, the night. If you are petitioning, petition, and return with me." ¹³ LOAD IN ARABIA In the wildwood, in Arabia, you are lodging, caravans of Dedanites." ¹⁴ Arrive with water to meet the thirsty, dwellers of the land of Tema. Forestall the wanderer with bread for him." ¹⁵ For from the presence of the swords they wander, from the presence of the sword let go, and from the presence of the bended bow, and from the presence of the heaviness of war." ¹⁶ For thus says my Lord Yahweh to me, "In three years further, as the years of a hireling, vanished will be all the glory of the sons of Kedar, ¹⁷ and the remaining number of bowmen, masters of the sons of Kedar, shall be few, for Yahweh, the Elohim of Israel, speaks."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word about the waste land. As storm-winds in the South go rushing through, it comes from the waste land, from the land greatly to be feared. ² A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow. ³ For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see. ⁴ My mind is wandering, fear has overcome me: the evening of my desire has been turned into shaking for me. ⁵ They make ready the table, they put down the covers, they take food and drink. Up! you captains; put oil on your breastplates. ⁶ For so has the Lord said to me, Go, let a watchman be placed; let him give word of what he sees: ⁷ And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention. ⁸ And the watchman gave a loud cry, O my lord, I am on the watchtower all day, and am placed in my watch every night: ⁹ See, here come war-carriages with men, horsemen by twos: and in answer he said, Babylon is made low, is made low, and all her images are broken on the earth. ¹⁰ O my crushed ones, the grain of my floor! I have given you the word which came to me from the Lord of armies, the God of Israel. ¹¹ The word about Edom. A voice comes to me from Seir, Watchman, how far gone is the night? how far gone is the night? ¹² The watchman says, The morning has come, but night is still to come: if you have questions to put, put them, and come back again. ¹³ The word about Arabia. In the thick woods of Arabia will be your night's resting-place, O travelling bands of Dedanites! ¹⁴ Give water to him who is in need of water; give bread, O men of the land of Tema, to those in flight. ¹⁵ For they are in flight from the sharp sword, and the bent bow, and from the trouble of war. ¹⁶ For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end: ¹⁷ And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden against the desert of the sea: As tempests in the south pass, it comes from the desert, from a terrible land. ² A harsh vision is revealed to me; the deceiver deceives, and the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media! I have caused all her sighing to cease. ³ Therefore my loins are filled with pain; pangs have taken hold on me like the pangs of a woman who travails; I was bowed down from hearing; I was troubled from seeing. ⁴ My heart wanders, terror overwhelms me; He has turned the twilight of my pleasure into trembling. ⁵ Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink; arise, rulers. Anoint the shield. ⁶ For so Jehovah has said to me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees. ⁷ And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen, a chariot of an ass, and a chariot of a camel. And let him listen, very attentively. ⁸ And he cried, A lion! My lord, without ceasing, I stand on the watchtower by day, and I am stationed at my post all the nights. ⁹ And, behold, here comes a chariot of a man, a pair of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And all the graven images of her gods He has smashed to the ground. ¹⁰ O my threshing, and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard of Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you. ¹¹ The burden against Dumah: He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? ¹² The watchman said, The morning comes, and also the night; if you will inquire, inquire, and come again. ¹³ The burden against Arabia: You shall stay in the forest of Arabia, O traveling companies of Dedanites. ¹⁴ The people of the land of Tema brought water to him who was thirsty; they went before him who fled with their bread. ¹⁵ For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the press of war. ¹⁶ For so has Jehovah said to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail; ¹⁷ and the rest of the number of archers, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, shall be cut down; for Jehovah, the God of Israel, has spoken.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden of the desert of the sea: As tempests in the Negeb pass, it comes from the desert from a terrifying land. ² A harsh vision is revealed to me; the deceiver deals deceitfully, and the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! I have caused all her sighing to cease. ³ Because of this my loins are filled with pain; pangs have taken hold on me like the pangs of a travailing woman. I am bowed from hearing; I am troubled from seeing. ⁴ My heart wanders; terror overwhelms me; He has turned the twilight of my pleasure into trembling. ⁵ Prepare the table; watch in the watchtower; eat, drink; rise up, rulers, and anoint the shield. ⁶ For so the Lord has said to me: Go, set a watchman; he will declare what he sees. ⁷ And he sees a chariot, a couple of horsemen; a chariot of an ass; a chariot of a camel; and let him bow attentively, very attentively. ⁸ And he cried, A lion! My lord, I always stand on my watchtower by day; and I am stationed at my post all the nights. ⁹ And, behold, here comes a chariot of a man, a pair of horses. And he answered and said, Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And He has smashed the cut images of her gods to the earth. ¹⁰ Oh my threshing, and the grain of my floor!

Return! ¹³ The burden of Arabia: You shall stay in the forest of Arabia, O traveling companies of Dedanites. ¹⁴ The people of the land of Tema bring water to him who is thirsty; they went to meet the fugitive with his bread. ¹⁵ For they fled from before swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the press of battle. ¹⁶ For so the Lord has said to me, Within a year, as the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall be ended, ¹⁷ and the rest of the number of the archers, the warriors of the sons of Kedar, shall be few.

THE BURDEN OF BABEL
The burden of the wilderness of the sea: As hurricanes in the south pass through; thus it comes from the wilderness - from an awesome land. ² I am told a hard vision: the coverter coverts and the ravager ravages. Ascend, O Elam! Besiege, O Maday! I shabbathize all its sighing. ³ So my loins fill with pain: pangs hold me as pangs of a woman birthing: I twist at hearing; I terrify at seeing: ⁴ my heart staggers; trembling frightens me: he sets the evening breeze of my pleasure to tremble me. ⁵ Arrange the table! Watch in the watchtower! Eat! Drink! Arise, you governors! Anoint the buckler! ⁶ For Adonay says thus to me, Go, stand a watcher; to tell what he sees. ⁷ And he sees a chariot with a pair of cavalry, a chariot of burros, a chariot of camels; and in hearkening, he hearkens: ⁸ and he calls out, A lion! Adonay, I stand continually on the watchtower in the day and I station in my guard whole nights: ⁹ and, behold, a chariot of men comes with a pair of cavalry: and he answers and says, Fallen! Babel - fallen! and he breaks all the sculptiles of her elohim to the earth. ¹⁰ O my threshing, and the sons of my threshingfloor: whatever I heard from Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El, I tell you. ¹¹
THE BURDEN OF DUMAH
The burden of Dumah: A call to me from Seir, Guard, what of the night? Guard, what of the night? ¹² The guard says, The morning comes and also the night: if you enquire - enquire: return, come. ¹³
THE BURDEN OF ARABIA
The burden upon Arabia: You, stay overnight in the forest in Arabia, you caravans of Dedanim: ¹⁴ the settlers of the land of Tema bring water to confront the thirsty, with their bread they anticipate him who flees: ¹⁵ for they flee from the face of the swords - from the face of the drawn sword and from the face of the bent bow and from the face of the heaviness of war. ¹⁶ For Adonay says thus to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the honor of Qedar finishes off: ¹⁷ and the survivors of the number of bows - the mighty of the sons of Qedar diminish: for Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El has worded.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from a terrible land. ² A grievous vision is declared to me.

1 H4853 The burden H4057 of the desert H3220 of the sea. H5492 As whirlwinds H5045 in the south H2498 pass H935 through; so it comes H4057 from the desert, H3372 from a terrible H776 land.

2 H7186 A grievous H2380 vision H5046 is declared H898 to me; the treacherous H6213 dealer deals H898 treacherously, H7703 and the spoiler H7703 spoils. H5927 Go H5867 up, O Elam: H6696 besiege, H4074 O Media; H3605 all H585 the sighing H7673 thereof have I made to cease.

3 H5921 Therefore H3651 H4975 are my loins H4390 filled H2479 with pain: H6735 pangs H270 have taken H270 hold H6735 on me, as the pangs H3205 of a woman that travails: H5791 I was bowed H8085 down at the hearing H926 of it; I was dismayed H7200 at the seeing of it.

4 H3824 My heart H8582 panted, H6427 fearfulness H1204 affrighted H5399 me: the night H2837 of my pleasure H7760 has he turned H2731 into fear to me.

5 H6186 Prepare H7979 the table, H6822 watch H6844 in the watchtower, H398 eat, H8354 drink: H6965 arise, H8269 you princes, H4886 and anoint H4043 the shield.

7 H7200 And he saw H7393 a chariot H6776 with a couple H6571 of horsemen, H7393 a chariot H2543 of asses, H7393 and a chariot H1581 of camels; H7181 and he listened H7182 diligently H7227 with much H7182 heed:

8 H7121 And he cried, H738 A lion: H136 My lord, H5975 I stand H8548 continually H4707 on the watchtower H3119 in the daytime, H5324 and I am set H4931 in my ward H3605 whole H3915 nights:

9 H2009 And, behold, H2088 here H935 comes H7393 a chariot H376 of men, H6776 with a couple H6571 of horsemen. H6030 And he answered H559 and said, H894 Babylon H5307 is fallen, H5307 is fallen; H3605 and all H6456 the graven H430 images of her gods H7665 he has broken H776 to the ground.

10 H4098 O my threshing, H1121 and the corn H1637 of my floor: H834 that which H8085 I have heard H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H5046 have I declared to you.

11 H4853 The burden H1746 of Dumah. H7121 He calls H8165 to me out of Seir, H8104 Watchman, H4100 what H3915 of the night? H8104 Watchman, H4100 what H3915 of the night?

12 H8104 The watchman H559 said, H1242 The morning H857 comes, H1571 and also H3915 the night: H518 if H1158 you will inquire, H1158 inquire H7725 you: return, H857 come.

13 H4853 The burden H6152 on Arabia. H3293 In the forest H6152 in Arabia H3885 shall you lodge, H736 O you traveling H736 companies H1720 of Dedanim.

14 H3427 The inhabitants H776 of the land H8485 of Tema H857 brought H4325 water H6771 to him that was thirsty, H6923 they prevented H3899 with their bread H5074 him that fled.

15 H5074 For they fled H2719 from the swords, H5203 from the drawn H2719 sword, H1869 and from the bent H7198 bow, H3514 and from the grievousness H4421 of war.

16 H3541 For thus H136 has the LORD H559 said H5750 to me, Within H8141 a year, H8141 according to the years H7916 of an hireling, H3605 and all H3519 the glory H6938 of Kedar H3615 shall fail:

17 H7605 And the residue H4557 of the number H7198 of archers, H1368 the mighty H1121 men of the children H6938 of Kedar, H4591 shall be diminished: H3068 for the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H1696 has spoken it.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Like a whirlwind sweeping across the desert, disaster will come from a terrifying land. ² I have seen a vision of cruel events, a vision of betrayal and destruction. Army of Elam, attack! Army of Media, lay siege to the cities! God will put an end to the suffering that Babylon has caused. ³ What I saw and heard in the vision has filled me with terror and pain. My hips are full of pain and convulsions like that of a woman in labor. ⁴ My innermost being reels, horror overwhelms me. The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling. ⁵ They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; Rise up, captains, oil the shields, ⁶ For this is what Jehovah says to me: »Go, station the lookout, and let him report what he sees. ⁷ »When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, a train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention.« ⁸ The watchman called out from the tower: »Sir, I stand on the watchtower every day. Every night, I stand guard at my post. ⁹ »Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs. Then he said: ‘Babylon has fallen! She has fallen! All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground.’« ¹⁰ You, my people, have been threshed and winnowed. I make known to you what I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel. ¹¹ This is the divine REVELATION ABOUT EDOM. He calls to me from Seir: »Watchman, what of the night? How much of the night is left? Watchman, what of the night?« ¹² The watchman replies: »Morning is coming, but also the night. If you would ask, then ask; and come back yet again.« ¹³ You caravans of Dedanites, who camp in the thickets of Arabia, ¹⁴ bring water for the thirsty. You who live in Tema, bring food for the fugitives. ¹⁵ They flee from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow and from the heat of battle. ¹⁶ This is what Jehovah says to me: »Within one year, as a servant bound by contract would count it, all the pomp of Kedar will come to an end. ¹⁷ »The survivors of the bowmen, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.« Jehovah, the God of Israel, has spoken!

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elam and Media are RebukedA message concerning the pasture by the Sea. “Like whirlwinds in the Negev sweep on, it comes from the desert, from a distant land. ² A dire vision has been announced to me: the traitor betrays, and the plunderer takes loot. Get up, Elam! Attack, Media! I am putting a stop to all the groaning she has caused. ³ Therefore my body is racked with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in labor; I am so upset that I cannot hear; I am so frightened that I cannot see while I’m reeling around. ⁴ And as for my heart, horror has terrified me; the twilight I longed for has started to make me tremble. ⁵ They set the tables; they spread the carpets; they eat, they drink! Get up, you officers! Oil the shields!”
⁶ The Fall of BabylonFor this is what the LORD told me: “Go post a lookout. Have him report what he sees. ⁷ When he sees chariots, each man with a pair of horses, riders on donkeys or riders on camels, let him pay attention, full attention.” ⁸ Then the lookout shouted: “Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and I am stationed at my post throughout the night. ⁹ Look! Here come riders, each man with a pair of horses!” They’re shouting out the answer: “Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and they have shattered all the images of her gods on the ground! ¹⁰ O my downtrodden people, my wall! I’ll tell you what I have heard from the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel.”

¹³ A Message about ArabiaA message concerning Arabia. “You will camp in the thickets in Arabia, you caravans of the Dedanites. ¹⁴ Bring water for the thirsty, you who live in the land of Tema. Meet the fugitive with bread, ¹⁵ For he has fled from swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.”
¹⁶ For this is what the LORD is saying to me: “Within three years, according to the years of a contract worker, the pomp of Kedar will come to an end. ¹⁷ And there will be few archers, those who are descendants of Kedar, who survive, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.”

I put an end to all of her sighing. ³ Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman giving birth. I am _⌊too bent to hear_⌋,* I am _⌊too dismayed to see_⌋.* ⁴ My _⌊mind_⌋* staggers; fear terrifies me; the twilight _⌊I desired_⌋* _⌊brought_⌋* me fear. ⁵ Set out the table in order! Spread out the rugs!* Eat! drink! Rise up, commanders; smear* the shield! ⁶ For the Lord said this to me:
"Go, set a watchman in position. He must announce what he sees. ⁷ When* he sees riders,* a pair of horsemen, riders* of donkeys,* riders* of camels,* _⌊then_⌋* he must listen attentively, paying attention, paying _⌊special_⌋* attention." ⁸ Then* the _⌊watchman_⌋* called,
"Lord, I am standing on the watchtower continually by day, and I am standing at my post _⌊throughout_⌋* the night. ⁹ And look at this! A man's a chariot is coming, a pair of horsemen!"
Then* he responded and said,
"It has fallen! Babylon has fallen! And all the images of her gods are* smashed on the ground!" ¹⁰ My downtrodden people and the son of my threshing floor,
I will announce to you what I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel. ¹¹ The oracle of Dumah:
One is calling to me from Seir,
"Watchman, what _⌊of_⌋* the night? Watchman, what _⌊of_⌋* the night?" ¹² The watchman says,
"Morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; _⌊come back again_⌋."* ¹³ An oracle _⌊concerning_⌋* Arabia:
You will spend the night in the thicket in a desert-plateau,* caravans of Dedanites. ¹⁴ _⌊When you happen to meet_⌋* the thirsty, bring water. Inhabitants of the land of Tema came to meet the fugitive with his bread. ¹⁵ For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword and the bent bow, and from the heaviness of the battle. ¹⁶ For the Lord said this to me:
"_⌊In one more year_⌋,* like the years of a hired worker,
all the glory of Kedar will come to an end. ¹⁷ And the remainder of the number of the bows* of the warriors of the sons of Kedar will be few."
For Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ This is the burden against the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror. ² A dire vision is declared to me: “The traitor still betrays, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I will put an end to all her groaning.” ³ Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see. ⁴ My heart falters; fear makes me tremble. The twilight of my desire has turned to horror. ⁵ They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields! ⁶ For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees. ⁷ When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, fully alert.” ⁸ Then the lookout shouted: “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; night after night I stay at my post. ⁹ Look, here come the riders, horsemen in pairs.” And one answered, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods lie shattered on the ground!” ¹⁰ O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel. ¹¹ This is the burden against Dumah: One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?” ¹² The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.” ¹³ This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites. ¹⁴ Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food. ¹⁵ For they flee from the sword—the sword that is drawn—from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle. ¹⁶ For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone. ¹⁷ The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from a terrible land. ² A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously and the destroyer destroys. Go up, O Elam. Besiege, O Media, all the sighing of it I have made to cease.
³ Therefore my loins are filled with anguish. Pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail. I am pained so that I cannot hear. I am dismayed so that I cannot see. ⁴ My heart wanders. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling to me.
⁵ They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink. Rise up, you* rulers, anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus has the Lord said to me, Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees. ⁷ and when he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he will listen diligently with much heed.
⁸ And he cried out as a lion, O Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime and am set in my confinement whole nights, ⁹ and behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon. And all the graven images of her gods are broken to the ground. ¹⁰ O my threshing and the grain of my floor! What I have heard from Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you*. ¹¹ The burden of Duma.
He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? ¹² The watchman said, The morning comes and also the night. If you* will inquire, inquire; turn back; come.
¹³ The burden upon Arabia.
In the forest in Arabia you* will lodge, O you* caravans of Dedanites. ¹⁴ To him who was thirsty they brought water. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread. ¹⁵ For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword and from the bent bow and from the grievousness of war.
¹⁶ For thus the Lord has said to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will fail. ¹⁷ And the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few. For Jehovah, the God of Israel, has spoken it.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden concerning the desert by the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land. ² A harsh vision is revealed to me; the deceiver deceives, and the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media! I have caused all her sighing to cease. ³ So my loins fill with pain: pangs hold me as pangs of a woman birthing: I twist at hearing; I terrify at seeing: ⁴ My heart failed, darkness amazed me: Babylon my beloved is become a wonder to me. ⁵ They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; Rise up, captains, oil the shields, ⁶ For this is what the LORD says to me: "Go, station the lookout, and let him report what he sees. ⁷ When he sees chariots, horsemen in pairs, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently." ⁸ Then the lookout shouted: "Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post. ⁹ "Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs. Then he said: 'Babylon has fallen! She has fallen! All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground.'" ¹⁰ My downtrodden people and the son of my threshing floor, I will announce to you what I have heard from the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel. ¹¹ The burden concerning Dumah. He calls to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? ¹² The watchman replies: "Morning is coming, but also the night. If you would ask, then ask; and come back yet again." ¹³ You caravans of Dedanites, who camp in the thickets of Arabia, ¹⁴ bring water for the thirsty. You who live in Tema, bring food for the fugitives. ¹⁵ They flee from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow and from the heat of battle. ¹⁶ This is what the LORD says to me: "Within one year, as a servant bound by contract would count it, all the pomp of Kedar will come to an end. ¹⁷ "The survivors of the bowmen, the warriors of Kedar, will be few." the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken!

1 H4853 Dies ist die Last H4057 über die Wüste H3220 am Meer H5492 : Wie ein Wetter H5045 vom Mittag H2498 kommt H776 , das H935 alles umkehret, so kommt‘s H4057 aus der Wüste, aus einem grausamen Lande.

2 H5046 Denn mir H7186 ist ein hart H2380 Gesicht H898 angezeigt. Ein Verächter H7703 kommt wider den andern, ein Verstörer H5927 wider den andern. Zeuch herauf H5867 , Elam H6696 ; belege sie H4074 , Madai H585 ! Ich will all seines Seufzens H7673 ein Ende machen .

3 H4390 Derhalben sind H4975 meine Lenden H6735 voll Schmerzens, und Angst H3205 hat H5753 mich H270 ergriffen H926 , wie eine Gebärerin; ich H8085 krümme mich, wenn ich‘s höre H7200 , und erschrecke, wenn ich‘s ansehe .

4 H3824 Mein Herz H8582 zittert H6427 , Grauen H1204 hat H7760 mich erschreckt; ich habe H2837 in der lieben H5399 Nacht H2731 keine Ruhe davor .

5 H6186 Ja, richte H7979 einen Tisch H6965 zu, laß wachen auf H6822 der Warte H398 , esset H8354 , trinket H8269 ; macht euch auf, ihr Fürsten H4043 , schmieret den Schild!

6 H136 Denn der HErr H5046 sagt zu mir H3212 also: Gehe H5975 hin, stelle H6822 einen Wächter H7200 , der da schaue H559 und ansage.

7 H7393 Er siehet aber Reiter H6571 reiten H7181 und fahren auf H2543 Rossen, Eseln H1581 und Kamelen H6776 und hat mit H7227 großem H7182 Fleiß Achtung darauf.

8 H738 Und ein Löwe H7121 rief H136 : HErr H5324 , ich stehe H5975 auf H4707 der Warte H8548 immerdar H3119 des Tages H4931 und stelle mich auf meine Hut H3915 alle Nacht .

9 H776 Und H935 siehe, da kommt H376 einer H6776 , der H7393 fähret auf einem Wagen H6030 , der antwortet H894 und spricht: Babel H5307 ist H559 gefallen, sie H5307 ist H6456 gefallen, und alle Bilder H430 ihrer Götter H7665 sind zu Boden geschlagen!

10 H4098 Meine liebe Tenne H1121 , darauf H8085 ich dresche: Was ich gehört H3068 habe vom HErrn H6635 Zebaoth H430 , dem GOtt H3478 Israels H5046 , das verkündige ich euch.

11 H4853 Dies ist die Last H1746 über Duma H7121 . Man H8104 ruft zu H8165 mir aus Seir H8104 : Hüter H3915 , ist die Nacht H3915 schier hin? Hüter, ist die Nacht schier hin?

12 H559 Der Hüter aber sprach H1242 : Wenn der Morgen H857 schon kommt H857 , so wird H3915 es doch Nacht H8104 sein H1158 . Wenn ihr H1158 schon fraget, so werdet ihr H7725 doch wiederkommen und wieder fragen:

13 H4853 Dies ist die Last H3885 über H6152 Arabien H3293 : Ihr werdet im Walde H6152 in Arabien wohnen, auf dem Wege gen Dedanim.

14 H857 Bringet H6771 den Durstigen H4325 Wasser H7125 entgegen H3427 , die ihr H776 wohnet im Lande H8485 Thema H6923 ; bietet H3899 Brot H5074 den Flüchtigen .

15 H5074 Denn sie fliehen H6440 vor H2719 dem Schwert H6440 , ja vor H5203 dem bloßen H2719 Schwert H6440 , vor H1869 dem gespannten H7198 Bogen H6440 , vor H3514 dem großen H4421 Streit .

16 H3615 Denn also H559 spricht H136 der HErr H8141 zu mir: Noch in einem Jahr H7916 , wie des Tagelöhners H8141 Jahre H3519 sind, soll alle Herrlichkeit H6938 Kedars untergehen,

17 H1121 und H7605 der übrigen H7198 Schützen H6938 der Helden zu Kedar H4591 soll weniger H4557 werden H1368 ; denn der HErr H3068 , der GOtt H3478 Israels H1696 , hat‘s geredet.

Ziehe hinauf, Elam! belagere, Medien! All ihrem Seufzen mache ich ein Ende. ³ Darum sind meine Lenden voll Schmerzes, Wehen haben mich ergriffen wie die Wehen einer Gebärenden; ich krümme mich, daß ich nicht hören, bin bestürzt, daß ich nicht sehen kann. ⁴ Mein Herz schlägt wild, Schauder ängstigt mich; die Dämmerung, die ich liebe, hat er mir in Beben verwandelt. ⁵ Man rüstet den Tisch, es wacht die Wache, man ißt, man trinkt... Stehet auf, ihr Fürsten! salbet den Schild! - ⁶ Denn also hat der Herr zu mir gesprochen: Gehe hin, stelle einen Wächter auf; was er sieht, soll er berichten. ⁷ Und er sah einen Reiterzug: Reiter bei Paaren; einen Zug Esel, einen Zug Kamele.

1 H4057 Ausspruch über die Wüste H3220 des Meeres H935 . Wie Stürme, wenn sie H2498 im Süden daherfahren, so kommt H4057 ' s aus der Wüste H776 , aus fruchtbarem Lande .

2 H7186 Ein hartes H2380 Gesicht H5046 ist mir H898 kundgetan: Der Räuber H7703 raubt, und der Verwüster verwüstet H5927 . Ziehe H5867 hinauf, Elam H6696 ! Belagere H4074 , Medien H585 ! All ihrem Seufzen mache ich ein Ende.

3 H4975 Darum sind meine Lenden H4390 voll H5753 Schmerzes, Wehen haben mich H270 ergriffen H926 wie die Wehen einer Gebärenden; ich H8085 krümme mich, daß ich nicht hören H7200 , bin bestürzt, daß ich nicht sehen kann.

4 H3824 Mein Herz H7760 schlägt wild, Schauder ängstigt mich H5399 ; die Dämmerung H1204 , die ich liebe, hat er mir in Beben verwandelt.

6 H136 Denn also hat der Herr H5046 zu mir H3212 gesprochen: Geh hin H6822 , stelle einen Wächter H5975 auf H559 ; was er H7200 sieht, soll er berichten.

7 H7200 Und er sah H7393 einen Reiterzug: Reiter H2543 bei Paaren; einen Zug Esel H1581 , einen Zug Kamele H7227 . Und er horchte gespannt, mit großer Aufmerksamkeit;

8 H7121 und er rief H738 wie ein Löwe H136 : Herr H5324 , ich stehe H5975 auf H3119 der Turmwarte beständig bei Tage H3915 , und auf meinem Wachtposten stehe ich da alle Nächte hindurch!

9 H7665 Und H376 siehe da, es kam ein Zug Männer H7393 , Reiter H935 bei Paaren... Und er H559 hob an und sprach H5307 : Gefallen H5307 , gefallen ist H894 Babel H6456 , und alle geschnitzten Bilder seiner Götzen H6030 hat H776 er zu Boden geschmettert!

10 H1121 Du mein Gedroschenes und Sohn H4098 meiner Tenne H5046 ! Was ich H3068 von Jehova H6635 der Heerscharen H430 , dem Gott H3478 Israels H8085 , gehört, habe ich euch verkündigt.

11 H1746 Ausspruch über Duma H8165 . Aus Seir H7121 ruft H3915 man mir zu: Wächter, wie weit ist' s in der Nacht H3915 ? Wächter, wie weit in der Nacht ?

13 H6152 Ausspruch über Arabien H6152 . In der Wildnis von Arabien H1720 müßt ihr übernachten, Karawanen der Dedaniter .

14 H857 Bringet H6771 dem Durstigen H4325 Wasser H7125 entgegen H3427 ! Die H776 Bewohner des Landes H6923 Tema kommen H3899 mit seinem Brote dem Flüchtling entgegen.

16 H136 Denn also hat der Herr H559 zu mir gesprochen H8141 : Binnen Jahresfrist, wie die Jahre H7916 eines Tagelöhners H3519 , wird alle Herrlichkeit H6938 Kedars verschwinden.

17 H4557 Und die übriggebliebene Zahl H7198 der Bogen H1368 , der Helden H1121 der Söhne H6938 Kedars H4591 , wird gering H3068 sein; denn Jehova H430 , der Gott H3478 Israels H1696 , hat geredet.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ De last der woestijn aan de zee.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Comme une tempête venant de la terre passe de désert en désert, ainsi terrible ² Et épouvantable une vision m’a été révélée: Le prévaricateur marche à ses prévarications, l’homme inique à ses iniquités. Sur moi viennent les Élamites, sur moi les anciens des Perses. Maintenant je gémirai et je me consolerai moi-même. ³ Voilà pourquoi mes reins ont défailli, et des douleurs comme celles de l’enfantement m’ont saisi. Ce que j’entends me fait mal, et je fais tout pour ne pas voir. ⁴ Mon coeur s’égare, l’iniquité m’inonde, mon âme succombe dans la terreur. ⁵ Dressez la table, mangez, buvez. Levez-vous, princes, préparez vos boucliers; ⁶ Car voici ce que m’a dit le Seigneur: Va, place-toi en sentinelle, et ce que tu verras, publie-le. ⁷ Et je vis deux cavaliers: un cavalier monté sur un âne, un autre sur un chameau. Écoute avec une grande attention, ⁸ Et appelle Urie au lieu d’observation. Ainsi dit le Seigneur. Et moi je me tins debout tout le jour, et je surveillai le camp toute la nuit. ⁹ Et voilà que vint à moi un homme sur un char à deux chevaux. Et, répondant à ma demande, il dit: Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone; et toutes ses statues et toutes les oeuvres de ses mains sont brisées contre terre. ¹⁰ Écoutez, ô vous qui êtes délaissés; et vous qui pleurez, écoutez ce que j’ai appris du Seigneur Dieu des armées, ce que m’a annoncé le Dieu d’Israël. ¹¹ ¶ On me crie de Séir: Gardez les créneaux! ¹² Je les garde dès le matin et durant la nuit. Si tu cherches un secours, cherche-le bien, et demeure près de moi. ¹³ ¶ Tu dormiras le soir dans la forêt sur le chemin de Daidan. ¹⁴ Portez de l’eau à la rencontre de l’homme qui a soif; et vous qui habitez la terre de Théman, portez des pains au-devant de ceux qui fuient; ¹⁵ Multitude d’hommes massacrés, multitude d’égarés, multitude de glaives et d’arcs tendus, multitude de guerriers tombés dans le combat. ¹⁶ Car voici ce que m’a dit le Seigneur: Encore une année, une année de mercenaire, et la gloire des fils de Cédar sera effacée, ¹⁷ Et il ne restera qu’un petit nombre des vaillants archers de Cédar.

L'oracle touchant le désert de la mer. Comme des tourbillons dans le midi quand ils passent, il vient du désert, du pays terrible. ² Une cruelle vision m'est révélée: le perfide agit perfidement, et le destructeur détruit. Monte, Élam! assiège, Médie! J'ai fait cesser tout son gémissement. ³ C'est pourquoi mes reins sont remplis de douleur; des angoisses m'ont saisi comme les angoisses de celle qui enfante; je suis courbé, à ne pas entendre; je suis terrifié, à n'y pas voir; ⁴ mon coeur bat; le tremblement s'est emparé de moi; la nuit de mon plaisir, il me l'a changée en effroi. ⁵ Dresse la table; fais le guet; mange, bois... Princes, levez-vous, oignez le bouclier! ⁶ Car ainsi m'a dit le Seigneur: Va, place une sentinelle; qu'elle déclare ce qu'elle voit. ⁷ Et elle vit un char, une couple de cavaliers, un char attelé d'ânes, un char attelé de chameaux. Et elle écouta diligemment, avec grande attention; ⁸ et elle cria comme un lion: Seigneur, je me tiens dans la vedette constamment, de jour, et je suis là faisant ma garde toutes les nuits... ⁹ Et voici, il vient un char d'hommes, une couple de cavaliers! Et il répondit, et dit: Babylone est tombée, elle est tombée, et toutes les images de ses dieux sont brisées par terre. ¹⁰ O vous, mon blé battu, et le fruit de mon aire! ce que j'ai ouï de l'Éternel des armées, le Dieu d'Israël, je vous l'ai rapporté. ¹¹
L'oracle touchant Duma. Il me crie de Séhir: Sentinelle, à quoi en est la nuit? Sentinelle, à quoi en est la nuit? ¹² La sentinelle dit: le matin vient, et aussi la nuit. Si vous voulez vous enquérir, enquérez-vous; revenez et venez. ¹³
L'oracle contre l'Arabie. Vous logerez dans la forêt de l'Arabie, caravanes des Dedanites. A la rencontre de celui qui a soif apportez de l'eau! ¹⁴ Les habitants du pays de Théma viennent avec leur pain au-devant de celui qui fuit; ¹⁵ car ils s'enfuient devant les épées, devant l'épée dégaînée, et devant l'arc tendu, et devant le poids de la guerre. ¹⁶ Car ainsi m'a dit le Seigneur: Encore une année comme les années d'un mercenaire, et toute la gloire de Kédar aura pris fin, ¹⁷ et le reste du nombre des archers des hommes forts des fils de Kédar sera amoindri; car l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël, a parlé.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ La charge du désert de la mer. Il vient du désert, de la terre épouvantable, comme des Tourbillons qui s'élèvent au pays du Midi, pour traverser. ² Une dure vision m'a été déclarée. Le perfide demeure perfide; celui qui saccage, saccage toujours. Hélamites, montez; Mèdes, assiégez; j'ai fait cesser tous ses soupirs. ³ C'est pourquoi mes reins ont été remplis de douleur; les angoisses m'ont saisi, comme les angoisses de celle qui enfante; je me suis tourmenté à cause de ce que j'ai ouï, et j'ai été tout troublé à cause de ce que j'ai vu; ⁴ Mon cœur a été agité de toutes parts, et un tremblement m'a épouvanté; on m'a rendu horrible la nuit de mes plaisirs. ⁵ Qu'on dresse la table, qu'on fasse le guet, qu'on mange, qu'on boive; levez-vous, Capitaines, oignez le bouclier. ⁶ Car ainsi me dit le Seigneur; va, pose la sentinelle, et qu'elle rapporte ce qu'elle verra. ⁷ Et elle vit un chariot, une couple de gens de cheval, un chariot tiré par des ânes, et un chariot tiré par des chameaux, et elle les considéra fort attentivement. ⁸ Et cria; C'est un lion; Seigneur, je me tiens en sentinelle continuellement de jour, et je me tiens en ma garde toutes les nuits. ⁹ Et voici venir le chariot d'un homme, une paire de gens de cheval. Alors elle parla, et dit; Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone; et toutes les images taillées de ses dieux ont été brisées par terre. ¹⁰ C'est ce que j'ai foulé, et le grain que j'ai battu dans mon aire. Je vous ai annoncé ce que j'ai ouï de l'Eternel des armées, du Dieu d'Israël. ¹¹ La charge de Duma. On crie à moi de Séhir; ô sentinelle! qu'y a-t-il depuis le soir ? ô sentinelle! qu'y a-t-il depuis la nuit ? ¹² La sentinelle a dit; Le matin est venu, mais il s'en va être nuit; si vous demandez, demandez : retournez, venez. ¹³ La charge contre l'Arabie. Vous passerez pêle-mêle la nuit dans la forêt, troupes de Dédanim; ¹⁴ Eaux, venez au-devant de celui qui a soif; les habitants du pays de Téma sont venus au-devant de celui qui s'en allait errant çà et là avec du pain pour lui. ¹⁵ Car ils s'en sont allés errant çà et là de devant les épées, de devant l'épée dégainée, et de devant l'arc tendu, et de devant le fort de la bataille. ¹⁶ Car ainsi m'a dit le Seigneur; dans un an, tels que sont les ans d'un mercenaire, toute la gloire de Kédar prendra fin. ¹⁷ Et le reste du nombre des forts archers des enfants de Kédar sera diminué; car l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël a parlé.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Oracle sur le désert de la mer. Comme s'avance l'ouragan du midi, Il vient du désert, du pays redoutable. ² Une vision terrible m'a été révélée.

Je fais cesser tous les soupirs. - ³ C'est pourquoi mes reins sont remplis d'angoisses; Des douleurs me saisissent, Comme les douleurs d'une femme en travail; Les spasmes m'empêchent d'entendre, Le tremblement m'empêche de voir. ⁴ Mon coeur est troublé, La terreur s'empare de moi; La nuit de mes plaisirs devient une nuit d'épouvante. ⁵ On dresse la table, la garde veille, on mange, on boit... Debout, princes! oignez le bouclier! ⁶ Car ainsi m'a parlé le Seigneur: Va, place la sentinelle; Qu'elle annonce ce qu'elle verra. - ⁷ Elle vit de la cavalerie, des cavaliers deux à deux, Des cavaliers sur des ânes, des cavaliers sur des chameaux; Et elle était attentive, très attentive. ⁸ Puis elle s'écria, comme un lion: Seigneur, je me tiens sur la tour toute la journée, Et je suis à mon poste toutes les nuits; ⁹ Et voici, il vient de la cavalerie, des cavaliers deux à deux! Elle prit encore la parole, et dit: Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone, Et toutes les images de ses dieux sont brisées par terre! - ¹⁰ O mon peuple, qui as été battu comme du grain dans mon aire! Ce que j'ai appris de l'Eternel des armées, Dieu d'Israël, Je vous l'ai annoncé. ¹¹ Oracle sur Duma. On me crie de Séir: Sentinelle, que dis-tu de la nuit? Sentinelle, que dis-tu de la nuit? ¹² La sentinelle répond: Le matin vient, et la nuit aussi. Si vous voulez interroger, interrogez; Convertissez-vous, et revenez. ¹³ Oracle sur l'Arabie. Vous passerez la nuit dans les broussailles de l'Arabie, Caravanes de Dedan! ¹⁴ Portez de l'eau à ceux qui ont soif; Les habitants du pays de Théma Portent du pain aux fugitifs. ¹⁵ Car ils fuient devant les épées, Devant l'épée nue, devant l'arc tendu, Devant un combat acharné. ¹⁶ Car ainsi m'a parlé le Seigneur: Encore une année, comme les années d'un mercenaire, Et c'en est fait de toute la gloire de Kédar. ¹⁷ Il ne restera qu'un petit nombre des vaillants archers, fils de Kédar, Car l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, l'a déclaré.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Profecia kundër shkretëtirës së detit. Ashtu si shakullimat kalojnë me të shpejtë nëpër Negev, kështu një pushtues vjen nga shkretëtira, nga një vend i tmerrshëm. ² Një vegim i tmerrshëm m'u shfaq: i pabesi vepron me pabesi dhe shkatërruesi shkatërron. Dil, o Elam. Rrethoje, o Medi! Bëra që të pushojë çdo rënkim të tij. ³ Për këtë arsye ijët e mia më dhëmbin shumë, më zunë dhembjet si të prerat e një gruaje që lind; jam i tronditur nga sa dëgjova, jam i tmerruar nga sa pashë. ⁴ Zemra ime e ka humbur, tmerri më ka zënë; nata që aq shumë e dëshiroja është bërë llahtarë për mua. ⁵ Ndërsa po shtrohet tryeza, bëhet rojë mbi kullën vëzhgimit hahet dhe pihet. "Çohuni, o krerë, dhe vajosni mburojat". ⁶ Sepse kështu më ka thënë Zoti: "Shko, vër një roje që të njoftojë atë që shikon". ⁷ Ajo pa qerre dhe çifte kalorësish, disa prej të cilëve kishin hipur mbi gomarë dhe të tjerë mbi deve, dhe i vëzhgoi me kujdes, me shumë kujdes. ⁸ Pastaj bërtiti si një luan: "O Zot, ditën unë rri gjithnjë mbi kullën e vëzhgimit, dhe çdo natë rri më këmbë te vendroja ime. ⁹ Dhe ja po vijnë disa qerre dhe çifte kalorësish". Atëherë ajo nisi të flasë përsëri: "Ra, ra Babilonia"! Të gjitha shëmbëlltyrat e gdhendura të perëndive të saj janë për tokë të copëtuara. ¹⁰ O populli im, atë që kam shirë dhe shkelur në lëmin tim, atë që kam dëgjuar nga Zoti i ushtrive, Perëndia i Izraelit, unë ta kam njoftuar!". ¹¹ Profecia kundër Dumahut. Më bërtasin nga Seiri: "Roje, në ç'pikë ka arritur nata? Roje, në ç'pikë ka arritur nata?". ¹² Roja përgjigjet: "Vjen mëngjesi, pastaj edhe nata. Në rast se doni të pyesni, pyesni, pra; kthehuni, ejani". ¹³ Profecia kundër Arabisë. Do ta kaloni natën në pyjet e Arabisë, o karvanë të Dedamitëve. ¹⁴ I dilni para të eturit duke i sjellë ujë, o banorë të vendit të Temas; i kanë dalë përpara ikanakut me bukën e tyre. ¹⁵ Sepse ata ikin para shpatave, para shpatës së zhveshur, para harkut të nderur, para tërbimit të betejës. ¹⁶ Sepse kështu më ka thënë Zoti: "Për një vit, ashtu si viti i një argati me mëditje, tërë lavdia e Kedarit do të zhduket; ¹⁷ dhe ajo që do të mbetet nga numri i harkëtarëve, njerëzit trima të bijve të Kedarit, do të jetë një gjë e vogël, sepse ka folur Zoti, Perëndia i Izraelit".

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Пророчество о пустыне приморской. – Как бури на юге носятся, идет он от пустыни, из земли страшной. ² Грозное видение показано мне: грабитель грабит, опустошитель опустошает; восходи, Елам, осаждай, Мид! всем стенаниям я положу конец. ³ От этого чресла мои трясутся; муки схватили меня, как муки рождающей. Я взволнован от того, что слышу; я смущен от того, что вижу. ⁴ Сердце мое трепещет; дрожь бьет меня; отрадная ночь моя превратилась в ужас для меня. ⁵ Приготовляют стол, расстилают покрывала, – едят, пьют. „Вставайте, князья, мажьте щиты!" ⁶ Ибо так сказал мне Господь: пойди, поставь сторожа; пусть он сказывает, что увидит. ⁷ И увидел он едущих попарно всадников на конях, всадников на ослах, всадников на верблюдах; и вслушивался он прилежно, с большим вниманием, – ⁸ и закричал, как лев: господин мой! на страже стоял я весь день, и на месте моем оставался целые ночи: ⁹ и вот, едут люди, всадники на конях попарно. Потом он возгласил исказал: пал, пал Вавилон, и все идолы богов его лежат на земле разбитые. ¹⁰ О, измолоченный мой и сын гумна моего! Что слышал я от Господа Саваофа, Бога Израилева, то и возвестил вам. ¹¹ Пророчество о Думе. – Кричат мне с Сеира: сторож! сколько ночи?сторож! сколько ночи? ¹² Сторож отвечает: приближается утро, но еще ночь. Если вы настоятельно спрашиваете, то обратитесь и приходите. ¹³ Пророчество об Аравии. – В лесу Аравийском ночуйте, караваны Деданские! ¹⁴ Живущие в земле Фемайской! несите воды навстречу жаждущим; с хлебом встречайте бегущих, ¹⁵ ибо они от мечей бегут, от меча обнаженного и от лука натянутого, и от лютости войны. ¹⁶ Ибо так сказал мне Господь: еще год, равный году наемничьему, и вся слава Кидарова исчезнет, ¹⁷ и луков у храбрых сынов Кидара останется немного: так сказалГосподь, Бог Израилев.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ وحي من جهة برية البحر. كزوابع في الجنوب عاصفة يأتي من البرية من ارض مخوفة. ² قد أعلنت لي رؤيا قاسية الناهب ناهبا والمخرب مخربا. اصعدي يا عيلام. حاصري يا مادي. قد ابطلت كل انينها. ³ لذلك امتلأت حقواي وجعا واخذني مخاض كمخاض الوالدة. تلويت حتى لا اسمع. اندهشت حتى لا انظر. ⁴ تاه قلبي. بغتني رعب. ليلة لذّتي جعلها لي رعدة. ⁵ يرتبون المائدة يحرسون الحراسة ياكلون يشربون قوموا ايها الرؤساء امسحوا المجن ⁶ لانه هكذا قال لي السيد. اذهب اقم الحارس. ليخبر بما يرى. ⁷ فرأى ركابا ازواج فرسان. ركاب حمير. ركاب جمال. فاصغى اصغاء شديدا ⁸ ثم صرخ كأسد ايها السيد انا قائم على المرصد دائما في النهار وانا واقف على المحرس كل الليالي. ⁹ وهوذا ركاب من الرجال. ازواج من الفرسان. فاجاب وقال سقطت سقطت بابل وجميع تماثيل آلهتها المنحوتة كسرها الى الارض. ¹⁰ يا دياستي وبني بيدري. ما سمعته من رب الجنود اله اسرائيل اخبرتكم به ¹¹ وحي من جهة دومة. صرخ اليّ صارخ من سعير يا حارس ما من الليل. يا حارس ما من الليل. ¹² قال الحارس اتى صباح وايضا ليل. ان كنتم تطلبون فاطلبوا. ارجعوا تعالوا ¹³ وحي من جهة بلاد العرب. في الوعر في بلاد العرب تبيتين يا قوافل الددانيين. ¹⁴ هاتوا ماء لملاقاة العطشان يا سكان ارض تيماء وافوا الهارب بخبزه. ¹⁵ فانهم من امام السيوف قد هربوا. من امام السيف المسلول ومن امام القوس المشدودة ومن امام شدة الحرب. ¹⁶ فانه هكذا قال لي السيد في مدة سنة كسنة الاجير يفنى كل مجد قيدار ¹⁷ وبقية عدد قسي ابطال بني قيدار تقل لان الرب اله اسرائيل قد تكلم

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Пророчество, наложено за пустинята на морето: Както вихрушките се носят в южната страна, така идва разрушение от пустинята, от страшна земя. ² Тежко видение ми се откри: Грабителят граби, опустошителят опустошава. Изкачи се, Еламе, обсади, Мидийо! Спрях всичките й въздишания. ³ Затова слабините ми са пълни с болка; мъки ме обзеха, като мъките на родилка. Сгърбен съм и не мога да чуя, смутен съм и не мога да видя. ⁴ Сърцето ми се смути, ужас ме обзе; полумракът, който пожелах, се обърна в ужас за мен. ⁵ Приготвят трапезата, стражата бди, ядат, пият! Станете, князе! Излъскайте щитове! ⁶ Защото така ми каза Господ: Иди, постави страж да известява, каквото види. ⁷ И видя впряг конници по двама, впряг магарета и впряг камили. И се вслуша внимателно, с голямо внимание, ⁸ и извика като лъв: Господарю мой, аз стоя постоянно на стражевата кула през деня и оставам на стражата си целите нощи. ⁹ Но, ето! Идва впряг, мъже, конници по двама! И проговори и каза: Падна, падна Вавилон, и всичките изваяни идоли на боговете му се строшиха на земята! ¹⁰ О, мой овършан народе и сине на хармана ми! Каквото чух от ГОСПОДА на Войнствата, Израилевия Бог, ви заявих. ¹¹ Пророчество, наложено за Едом: Към мен вика един от Сиир: Стражо, колко е часът на нощта? Стражо, колко е часът на нощта? ¹² Стражът каза: Утрото иде, а също и нощта. Ако ще питате, питайте; върнете се, елате. ¹³ Пророчество, наложено за Арабия: В гората на Арабия ще пренощувате, дедански кервани. ¹⁴ Донесете вода да посрещнете жадния, жители на теманската земя, посрещнете бежанеца с хляб. ¹⁵ Защото побягнаха от мечовете, от изтегления меч, от опънатия лък и от тежестта на войната. ¹⁶ Защото така ми каза Господ: За една година, каквито са годините на наемник, ще изчезне цялата слава на Кидар. ¹⁷ И останалият брой на стрелците, на силните мъже на синовете на Кидар, ще бъде малък, защото ГОСПОД, Израилевият Бог, изговори това.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Proroštvo primorskoj pustinji. Kao što vihori, hujeći nad Negebom, dolaze iz pustinje, kraja strahotna ² - otkri mi se u strašnom viđenju - tako pljačkaš pljačka, pustošnik pustoši. "Navali, Elame, opsjedni, Medijo! Dokrajčit ću sve jauke." ³ Zato bedra moja probadaju grčevi; bolovi me spopadaju k'o trudovi porodilju; od smućenosti ogluših, od straha obnevidjeh. ⁴ Srce mi dršće, groza me obuze, sumrak za kojim čeznuh postade mi užas. ⁵ Postavljaju stol, prostiru stolnjak, jede se i pije ... Ustajte, knezovi, mažite štit! ⁶ Jer Gospod mi ovako reče: "Idi, postavi stražara! Što vidi, nek' javi. ⁷ Vidi li konjanike, jahače udvojene, jahače na magarcima, jahače na devama, neka dobro pazi s pažnjom napetom!" ⁸ A stražar viknu: "Povazdan, Gospodaru, stojim na stražarnici, čitavu noć na straži prostojim." ⁹ I gle, dolaze konjanici, jahači udvojeni. Oni mi viknuše, oni rekoše: "Pade, pade Babilon! Svi kipovi njegovih bogova o zemlju se razbiše." ¹⁰ Omlaćeno žito, čedo gumna moga, što čuh od Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga Izraelova, objavih vam! ¹¹ Proroštvo o Edomu. Viču mi iz Seira: "Stražaru, koje je doba noći? Stražaru, koje je doba noći?" ¹² Stražar odgovori: "Dolazi jutro, a zatim opet noć. Hoćete li pitati, pitajte, vratite se, dođite!" ¹³ Proroštvo o Arapima. U šikarama pustinjskim počivate, dedanske karavane. ¹⁴ Vodu iznesite pred žedne, stanovnici zemlje temske, iziđite s kruhom pred bjegunca. ¹⁵ Pred mačevima bježe oni, pred mačem trgnutim, pred lukom zapetim, pred bojem žestokim. ¹⁶ Da, ovako mi reče Gospod: "Još jedna godina, godina nadničarska, i nestat će sve slave Kedrove. ¹⁷ A od mnogobrojnih strijelaca među hrabrim sinovima Kedrovim malo će ih ostati." Tako je govorio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.

Přitáhniž Elame, Médský oblehni. Všelikému úpění jeho přestati rozkáži. ³ Z té příčiny naplněna jsou bedra má bolestí, úzkosti postihly mne jako úzkosti rodičky; sklíčen jsem, slyše to, strnul jsem, vida to. ⁴ Zkormoutilo se srdce mé, hrůza předěsila mne, noc mých rozkoší obrátila se mi v strach. ⁵ Přistroj na stůl, nechť stráž drží strážný, jez, pí. Vstaňte knížata, mažte pavézy. ⁶ Nebo tak řekl ke mně Pán: Jdi, postav strážného, kterýž by to, což uhlédá, oznámil. ⁷ I viděl vozy, a dvěma řady jízdu, vozy, kteréž oslové, a vozy, kteréž velbloudové táhli; šetřil zajisté pilně s velikou bedlivostí. ⁸ A volal jako lev: Jáť, Pane můj, stojím na stráži ustavičně ve dne, nýbrž na stráži své já stávám v každičkou noc. ⁹ (A aj, v tom přijeli na vozích muži a dvěma řady jízda.) Zvolal tedy a řekl: Padl, padl Babylon, a všecky rytiny bohů jeho o zem roztřískány. ¹⁰ Méť jest humno, a obilé humna mého. Což jsem slyšel od Hospodina zástupů, Boha Izraelského, oznámil jsem vám. ¹¹ Břímě Dumy. Slyším hlas z Seir: Strážný, co bylo v noci? Strážný, co se stalo v noci? ¹² Řekl strážný: Přišlo jitro, a tolikéž noc; chcete-li hledati, hledejte. Navraťte se, přiďte. ¹³ Břímě na Arabii. Po lesích v Arabii nocleh mívati budete, ó pocestní Dedanských. ¹⁴ Obyvatelé země Tema nechať vynesou vody vstříc žíznivému; s chlebem jeho nechať vyjdou proti utíkajícímu. ¹⁵ Nebo před mečem utíkati budou, před mečem vytaženým, před lučištěm nataženým, před těžkostí boje. ¹⁶ Tak zajisté řekl Pán ke mně: Že po roce, jakýž jest rok nájemníka, přestane všecka sláva Cedar, ¹⁷ A pozůstalý počet střelců udatných synů Cedar zmenšen bude; nebo Hospodin Bůh Izraelský to mluvil.

I skulle blive Natten over i Skoven i Arabien, I rejsende Hobe af Dedaniter! ¹⁴ De komme den tørstige i Møde med Vand; Indbyggerne i Temas Land møde den ftygtende med Brød. ¹⁵ Thi de flyede for Sværd, for det dragne Sværd, for den spændte Bue og for den svare Krig. ¹⁶ Thi saa sagde Herren til mig: Endnu inden et Aar, som en Daglønners Aar, da skal al Kedars Herlighed faa Ende. ¹⁷ Og Tallet af Buerne, som blive tilbage for de vældige af Kedars Børn, skal formindskes; thi HERREN, Israels Gud, har talt det.

4 H3824 我心 H8582 慌張 H6427 ，驚恐 H1204 威嚇我 H2837 。我所羨慕的 H5399 黃昏 H7760 ，變為 H2731 我的戰兢。

5 H6186 他們擺設 H7979 筵席 H6822 ，派人守望 H398 ，又吃 H8354 ，又喝 H8269 。首領啊 H6965 ，你們起來 H4886 ，用油抹 H4043 盾牌。

6 H136 主 H559 對我如此說 H3212 ：你去 H5975 設立 H6822 守望的 H7200 ，使他將所看見的 H5046 述說。

7 H7200 他看見 H7393 軍隊 H6776 H6571 ，就是騎馬的一對一對 H2543 地來，又看見驢 H7393 隊 H1581 ，駱駝 H7393 隊 H7181 H7182 H7227 H7182 ，就要側耳細聽。

8 H738 他像獅子 H7121 吼叫 H136 ，說：主啊 H3119 ，我白日 H8548 常 H5975 站在 H4707 望樓 H3915 上，整夜 H5324 立 H4931 在我守望所。

9 H7393 看哪，有一隊 H376 軍兵 H6571 騎著馬 H6776 ，一對一對 H935 地來 H559 。他就說 H894 ：巴比倫 H5307 傾倒了 H5307 ！傾倒了 H430 ！他一切雕刻的　神 H6456 像 H7665 都打碎 H776 於地。

10 H4098 我被打的禾稼 H1637 ，我場上 H1121 的榖啊 H6635 ，我從萬軍 H3068 之耶和華 H3478 ─以色列 H430 的　神 H8085 那裡所聽見的 H5046 ，都告訴你們了。

11 H1746 論度瑪 H4853 的默示 H8165 ：有人聲從西珥 H7121 呼問 H8104 我說：守望的啊 H3915 ，夜裡 H8104 如何？守望的啊 H3915 ，夜裡如何？

12 H8104 守望的 H559 說 H1242 ：早晨 H857 將到 H3915 ，黑夜 H1158 也來。你們若要問 H1158 就可以問 H7725 ，可以回頭 H857 再來。

13 H6152 論亞拉伯 H4853 的默示 H1720 ：底但 H736 結伴的客旅啊 H6152 ，你們必在亞拉伯 H3293 的樹林中 H3885 住宿。

14 H8485 提瑪 H776 地 H3427 的居民 H857 拿 H4325 水 H7125 來，送給 H6771 口渴的 H3899 ，拿餅 H6923 來迎接 H5074 逃避的。

15 H5074 因為他們逃避 H2719 刀劍 H5203 和出了鞘的 H2719 刀 H1869 ，並上了絃的 H7198 弓 H4421 與刀兵 H3514 的重災。

16 H136 主 H559 對我這樣說 H8141 ：一年 H5750 之內 H7916 ，照雇工 H8141 的年數 H6938 ，基達 H3519 的一切榮耀 H3615 必歸於無有。

17 H7198 弓箭手 H7605 所餘剩的 H6938 ，就是基達 H1121 人 H1368 的勇士 H4591 ，必然稀少 H3068 ，因為這是耶和華 H3478 ─以色列 H430 的　神 H1696 說的。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 论海旁旷野的默示：冇仇敌从旷野，从可怕之地而来，好象南方的旋风，猛然扫过。 ² 令人悽惨的异象已默示于我。诡诈的行诡诈，毁灭的行毁灭。以拦哪，你要上去！玛代啊，你要围困！主说：我使一切歎息止住。 ³ 所以，我满腰疼痛；痛苦将我抓住，好象产难的妇人一样。我疼痛甚至不能听；我惊惶甚至不能看。 ⁴ 我心慌张，惊恐威吓我。我所羡慕的黄昏，变为我的战兢。 ⁵ 他们摆设筵席，派人守望，又吃，又喝。首领啊，你们起来，用油抹盾牌。 ⁶ 主对我如此说：你去设立守望的，使他将所看见的述说。 ⁷ 他看见军队，就是骑马的一对一对地来，又看见驴队，骆驼队，就要侧耳细听。 ⁸ 他象狮子吼叫，说：主啊，我白日常站在望楼上，整夜立在我守望所。 ⁹ 看哪，冇一队军兵骑着马，一对一对地来。他就说：巴比伦倾倒了！倾倒了！他一切雕刻的　神象都打碎于地。 ¹⁰ 我被打的禾稼，我场上的榖啊，我从万军之耶和华 ― 以色列的　神那里所听见的，都告诉你们了。 ¹¹ 论度玛的默示：冇人声从西珥呼问我说：守望的啊，夜里如何？守望的啊，夜里如何？ ¹² 守望的说：早晨将到，黑夜也来。你们若要问就可以问，可以回头再来。 ¹³ 论亚拉伯的默示：底但结伴的客旅啊，你们必在亚拉伯的树林中住宿。 ¹⁴ 提玛地的居民拿水来，送给口渴的，拿饼来迎接逃避的。 ¹⁵ 因为他们逃避刀剑和出了鞘的刀，并上了絃的弓与刀兵的重灾。 ¹⁶ 主对我这样说：一年之内，照雇工的年数，基达的一切荣耀必归于无冇。 ¹⁷ 弓箭手所余剩的，就是基达人的勇士，必然稀少，因为这是耶和华 ― 以色列的　神说的。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Profetajxo pri la apudmara dezerto: Kiel renversanta de ventego de sudo, li venas el la dezerto, el lando terura. ² Kruela vizio estas montrita al mi:rabanto rabas, kaj ruiniganto ruinigas. Supreniru, ho Elam; siegxu, ho Medujo; cxiun gxemadon mi cxesigis. ³ Tial mia lumbo estas plena de doloro; turmentoj kaptis min, kiel turmentoj de naskantino; mi tordigxis, kiam mi auxdis; mi sentis teruron, kiam mi vidis. ⁴ Konsternigxas mia koro, teruro min frapis; la cxarma nokto farigxis por mi teruro. ⁵ Preparu tablon, starigu gardostarantojn, mangxu, trinku. Levigxu, princoj, sxmiru la sxildon. ⁶ CXar tiele diris al mi mia Sinjoro:Iru, starigu observanton; kion li vidos, li diru. ⁷ Kaj li vidis vicojn da cxevaloj duope, vicojn da azenoj, vicojn da kameloj; kaj li auxskultis atente, kun granda atento. ⁸ Kaj li ekkriis kiel leono:Mia sinjoro, mi staris konstante sur mia observejo dum la tago, kaj sur mia gardejo mi staris tutajn noktojn; ⁹ kaj jen venis viro, veturanta sur ducxevala cxaro, kaj li ekkrias kaj diras:Falis, falis Babel, kaj cxiuj idoloj de gxiaj dioj rompigxis sur la teron. ¹⁰ Mia drasxajxo, kaj filo de mia garbejo! kion mi auxdis de la Eternulo Cebaot, Dio de Izrael, tion mi diris al vi. ¹¹ Profetajxo pri Duma: Oni krias al mi el Seir:Gardisto, kiom da nokto restas? gardisto, kiom da nokto restas? ¹² La gardisto diris:Venis la mateno, kaj tamen estas nokto; se vi volas demandi, demandu, revenu denove. ¹³ Profetajxo pri Arabujo: En la arbaro Arabuja pasigu la nokton, karavanoj Dedanaj! ¹⁴ Elportu akvon renkonte al la soifanto, vi, logxantoj de la lando Tema, kun pano renkontu la forkurinton; ¹⁵ cxar oni forkuras de glavo, de akrigita glavo, kaj de pafarko strecxita, kaj de kruela batalo. ¹⁶ CXar tiele diris al mi la Sinjoro:Post unu jaro, kiel la jaro de dungito, malaperos la tuta gloro de Kedar; ¹⁷ kaj la restajxo de la heroaj arkpafistoj de Kedar estos malgranda; cxar la Eternulo, Dio de Izrael, diris.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tämä on korven kuorma meren tykönä: niinkuin tuulispää tulee etelästä, joka kääntää ylösalaisin, niin se tulee korvesta, kauhiasta maasta. ² Sillä minulle on osoitettu kova näky: pettäjä tulee toista vastaan, hävittäjä toista vastaan. Mene ylös Elam, piiritä heitä Madai: minä lopetan kaikki hänen huokauksensa. ³ Sentähden ovat minun kupeeni täynnä kipua, ja ahdistus on minun käsittänyt, niinkuin lapsen synnyttäjän ahdistus; minä kyyristän minuni, koska minä sen kuulen, ja peljästyn, koska minä sen näen. ⁴ Minun sydämeni vapisee, kauhistus on minun peljättänyt; sentähden ei ole minulla ollut suloisella yöllä yhtään lepoa. ⁵ Valmista pöytä, anna valvojain valvoa, syö, juo: nouskaat te pääruhtinaat ja voidelkaat kilvet. ⁶ Sillä Herra sanoo näin minulle: mene ja toimita vartio, joka katselis ja ilmoittais. ⁷ Mutta hän näki ratsastajat ajavan ja menevän aaseilla ja kameleilla, ja piti siitä visun vaarin. ⁸ Ja hän huusi niinkuin jalopeura: Herra, minä olen vartiolla yli päivää, ja olen minun vartiollani kaikki yöt: ⁹ Ja katso, siellä tulee yksi vaunuissa ja kaksi ratsahin, joka vastaa ja sanoo: kaatunut, kaatunut on Babylon, ja kaikki hänen jumalainsa kuvat lyötiin maahan. ¹⁰ O minun tappamiseni ja minun riiheni permanto! mitä minä olen Herralta Zebaotilta, Israelin Jumalalta, kuullut, sen minä teille ilmoitan. ¹¹ Tämä on Duman kuorma: Seiristä huudetaan minua: vartia, mitä yö kuluu? vartia, mitä yö kuluu? ¹² Vartia sanoi: kuin aamu tulee, niin vielä yö on; jos te vielä kysytte, niin teidän pitää vielä sitte palajaman ja taas kysymän. ¹³ Tämä on Arabian kuorma: teidän pitää yötymän Arabian metsässä, Dedanimin tiellä. ¹⁴ Kantakaat vettä janoovaa vastaan, te jotka asutte Temanin maassa: taritkaat pakenevaisille leipää. ¹⁵ Sillä he pakenevat miekkaa, paljasta miekkaa, jännitettyä jousta ja isoa sotaa. ¹⁶ Sillä näin sanoo Herra minulle: vielä nyt vuosi, niinkuin palkollisen vuodet ovat, niin pitää kaiken Kedarin kunnian hukkuman. ¹⁷ Ja jääneet ampujat, väkevät Kedarin lapsista, pitää vähemmäksi joutuman; sillä Herra Israelin Jumala on sen sanonut.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ennustus meren viereisestä erämaasta. Niinkuin myrskytuulet kiitävät Etelämaassa, niin tulee se erämaasta, peloittavasta maasta. ² Julma näky ilmoitettiin minulle: "Ryöstäjä ryöstää, hävittäjä hävittää. Hyökkää, Eelam! Piiritä, Meedia! Kaiken huokailun minä lopetan." ³ Sentähden minun lanteeni ovat täynnä vavistusta, minut valtaavat tuskat, niinkuin synnyttäjän tuskat; minua huimaa, niin etten kuule, kauhistuttaa, niin etten näe. ⁴ Minun sydämeni värisee, kauhu peljästyttää minut. Ikävöimäni iltahämärän se muuttaa minulle vavistukseksi. ⁵ Pöytä katetaan, matto levitetään, syödään, juodaan. Nouskaa, te ruhtinaat, voidelkaa kilvet. ⁶ Sillä näin on Herra minulle sanonut: "Mene, aseta tähystäjä; hän ilmoittakoon, mitä näkee. ⁷ Ja kun hän näkee jonon ratsastajia parittain, jonon aaseja, jonon kameleja, niin kuunnelkoon tarkasti, hyvin tarkasti." ⁸ Ja hän huusi kuin leijona: "Tähystyspaikalla, Herra, minä seison alati, päivät pitkät, pysyn vartiopaikallani kaiket yöt. ⁹ Ja katso, tuolla tulee jonossa miehiä, parivaljakoita." Ja hän lausui sanoen: "Kukistunut, kukistunut on Baabel, ja kaikki sen jumalain kuvat hän on murskannut maahan". ¹⁰ Maahan puitu kansani, puimatantereella poljettuni! Mitä olen kuullut Herralta Sebaotilta, Israelin Jumalalta, sen minä teille ilmoitan. ¹¹ Ennustus Duumasta. Minulle huudetaan Seiristä: "Vartija, mikä hetki yöstä on? Vartija, mikä hetki yöstä on?" ¹² Vartija vastaa: "Aamu on tullut, mutta silti on yö. Jos vielä kyselette, niin kyselkää; tulkaa uudelleen." ¹³ Ennustus Arabiaa vastaan. Yöpykää Arabian viidakoissa, dedanilaiset matkueet. ¹⁴ Menkää vastaan, viekää vettä janoaville. Teeman maan asukkaat ottavat pakolaiset vastaan, leipää tariten. ¹⁵ Sillä he ovat miekkoja paossa, paljastettua miekkaa, jännitettyä jousta ja sodan tuimuutta paossa. ¹⁶ Sillä näin on Herra minulle sanonut: Vielä vuosi-sellainen kuin on palkkalaisen vuosi-niin kaikki Keedarin kunnia on kadonnut, ¹⁷ ja Keedarin urhojen jousiluvun jäännös on oleva vähäinen. Sillä Herra, Israelin Jumala, on puhunut.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men mesaj Bondye bay sou plenn bò lanmè a, nan peyi Babilòn: -Tankou yon van siklòn k'ap bale dezè Negèv la, yon gwo malè pral soti nan peyi san manman yo. ² Mwen fè yon vizyon, mwen wè bagay ki pou bay gwo lapenn lan. Mwen wè moun k'ap trayi, moun k'ap kraze brize! Nou menm lame peyi Elam lan, moute al atake! Nou menm sòlda peyi Medi yo, al sènen lavil li yo! Bondye pral fè moun k'ap soufri anba peyi Babilòn lan sispann plenn. ³ Se poutèt sa, tout zantray mwen ap bouyi! Mwen gen yon sèl doulè anba vant tankou yon fanm ki prèt pou akouche. M'ap tòde. Mwen rete vant ba: mwen pa wè anyen, mwen pa tande anyen. ⁴ Tèt mwen ap vire. M'ap tranble tèlman mwen pè. Mwen t'ap tann solèy la kouche. Men, lè aswè rive, se te pi mal. ⁵ Nan vizyon an, mwen wè yon tab byen ranje, yo louvri tapi atè pou envite yo chita. Y'ap manje, y'ap bwè. Yon moman, yo bay yon lòd: Kanpe, chèf lame yo! Pare zam nou pou defann nou! ⁶ Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Ale non! Mete yon gad veye! W'a di l' pou l' fè ou konnen tou sa la wè. ⁷ Si l' wè kavalye k'ap vini sou chwal yo, de pa de ak yon pati moun sou bourik, yon lòt pati sou chamo, se pou l' louvri je l' gade byen. ⁸ Gad la rele byen fò: -Mèt, m'ap rete kanpe la nan pòs mwen tout lajounen. Mwen p'ap deplase kote m' ye a. M'ap veye tout lannwit. ⁹ Lè sa a, yon lame kavalye parèt. Y'ap mache vini de pa de. Gad la bay nouvèl la. Li di: Lavil Babilòn tonbe! Wi, li tonbe! Tout estati zidòl yo tonbe plat atè, yo kraze! ¹⁰ Nou menm, pèp mwen an, mwen te fwote nou anba pye m' tankou moun fwote diri sou glasi. Men, koulye a m'ap fè nou konnen bon nouvèl mwen te tande a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki te fè m' konn sa. ¹¹ Men mesaj Bondye bay pou moun peyi Edon yo: -Yon moun rete peyi Seyi, l'ap rele m'. Li di m': Ey, gad! Kilè li ye? Konbe tan ankò pou nwit lan bout? Konbe tan ankò anvan solèy leve? ¹² Mwen reponn: -Bajou prèt pou kase. Men apre sa, se va lannwit ankò. Si nou vle mande sa ankò, tounen vin mande. ¹³ Men mesaj Bondye bay pou moun peyi Arabi yo: -Nou menm moun peyi Dedan, se nan mitan raje ki nan savann Arabi a nou pral moute kan nou pase nwit! ¹⁴ Al kontre moun ki swaf dlo yo pou ba yo bwè. Moun peyi Tema yo al kontre moun k'ap kouri sove yo, yo pote manje ba yo. ¹⁵ Moun yo pran kouri pou yo chape anba nepe sòlda ki te soti pou touye yo, anba flèch ki te tou pare pou pèse yo, anba gwo danje ki te gen nan batay la. ¹⁶ Lè sa a, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nan yon lanne, jou pou jou, tankou moun k'ap travay pou lajan kalkile lè travay yo, p'ap rete anyen nan tout bèl pouvwa peyi Keda a! ¹⁷ Ou tande jan nan peyi sa a gen anpil vanyan sòlda ki konn tire banza byen? Enben! Se de twa ase ki va rete. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki di sa.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jövendölés a tenger pusztasága ellen. ² Kemény látás jelentetett meg nékem: a csalárd csal, a pusztító pusztít. Jõjj fel Élám, szálld meg Madai, minden õ fohászkodásának véget vetek. ³ Ezért ágyékim telvék fájdalommal, és kínok fogtak el, mint a szûlõ asszony kínjai; gyötrõdöm hallása miatt, és megrémültem látása miatt. ⁴ Reszket szívem, iszonyúság rettent, a kedves éjszakát remegéssé tevé nékem. ⁵ Teríts asztalt, vigyázzon a vigyázó, egyetek, igyatok; föl fejedelmek, kenjétek a paizst! ⁶ Mert így szólott hozzám az Úr: Menj és állass õrállót, a mit lát, mondja meg. ⁷ És látott lovas csapatot, páros lovagokat, szamaras csapatot, tevés csapatot, és nagy figyelmesen hallgatott. ⁸ És kiálta, mint oroszlán: Uram, az õrtoronyban állok szüntelen napestig, és õrhelyemen állok egész éjszakákon. ⁹ És ímé, lovas csapat jött, páros lovagok, és szólott és mondá: Elesett, elesett Babilon, s isteneinek minden faragott képeit a földre zúzták le. ¹⁰ Oh én cséplésem és szérûmnek fia, a mit hallottam a seregek Urától, Izráel Istenétõl, azt jelentém meg néktek! ¹¹ Jövendölés Dúma ellen: Seirbõl így kiáltnak hozzám: Vigyázó! meddig még az éjszaka, meddig még ez éj? ¹² Szólt a vigyázó: Eljött a reggel, az éjszaka is; ha kérdeni akartok, kérdjetek, forduljatok vissza és jertek el! ¹³ Jövendölés Arábia ellen: Az erdõben háltok Arábiában, Dédán utazó seregei. ¹⁴ A szomjazó elé hozzatok vizet! Témá földének lakosi kenyerökkel jönnek a bujdosó elébe. ¹⁵ Mert az [ellenség] fegyvere elõtt bujdosnak, a kivont fegyver elõtt és a felvont kézívek elõtt és a nehéz harcz elõtt. ¹⁶ Mert így szólott hozzám az Úr: Még egy esztendõ, mely mint a béresnek esztendeje, és elvész Kédárnak minden dicsõsége; ¹⁷ És Kédár vitéz fiainak kézíve számának maradéka megkevesedik; mert az Úr, Izráel Istene mondá.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Inilah pesan tentang Babel: Seperti angin puyuh mendesing lewat padang gurun, begitulah datangnya bencana dari negeri yang dahsyat. ² Aku mendapat penglihatan tentang kejadian-kejadian yang mengerikan; tentang pengkhianatan dan pembinasaan. Majulah, laskar Elam, serbulah! Hai laskar Madai, kepunglah! Allah akan mengakhiri semua penderitaan yang disebabkan oleh Babel. ³ Penglihatan itu membuat aku bingung sampai tak dapat melihat atau mendengar lagi. Aku ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti seorang wanita yang sedang bersalin. ⁴ Hatiku gelisah; rasa ngeri membuat aku gemetar. Malam yang kurindukan hanya membawa kegentaran. ⁵ Kulihat juga perjamuan pesta yang sudah disiapkan; tempat duduk untuk para undangan tersedia. Mereka makan dan minum. Tiba-tiba terdengar perintah: "Hai perwira-perwira! Siapkan perisaimu!" ⁶ Lalu TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Pergilah menempatkan seorang penjaga dan suruh dia melaporkan apa yang dilihatnya. ⁷ Kalau ia melihat pasukan berkuda datang berdua-dua, pasukan yang mengendarai keledai dan unta, ia harus mengamatinya baik-baik." ⁸ Kemudian penjaga itu berseru, "Tuan, saya sudah berjaga setiap hari siang dan malam." ⁹ Lihat, itulah mereka! Pasukan berkuda yang datang berdua-dua. Kemudian penjaga itu mengabarkan, "Babel sudah jatuh! Patung-patung pujaan mereka hancur berserakan di tanah." ¹⁰ Bangsaku Israel! Engkau telah dipijak-pijak dan diinjak-injak seperti butir-butir gandum. Sekarang kusampaikan kepadamu kabar baik yang kudengar dari TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah Israel. ¹¹ Inilah pesan tentang Edom. Ada orang berseru kepadaku dari Edom, "Hai, penjaga, masih lamakah malam ini? Berapa jam lagi sebelum pagi?" ¹² Jawabku, "Pagi akan datang, tetapi malam juga. Kalau mau bertanya, datanglah bertanya lagi." ¹³ Inilah pesan tentang Arab: Hai, orang Dedan, kafilah-kafilahmu berkemah di semak belukar tanah Arab. ¹⁴ Hai penduduk tanah Tema, berilah minum kepada orang-orang kehausan yang datang kepadamu, dan berilah makan kepada para pengungsi. ¹⁵ Sebab mereka telah melarikan diri dari pedang yang terhunus, dari busur yang dilenturkan, dan dari perang yang sedang berkecamuk. ¹⁶ Lalu TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Tepat satu tahun lagi kejayaan suku-suku Kedar akan berakhir. ¹⁷ Pemanah-pemanah Kedar adalah orang yang paling perkasa. Tetapi hanya sedikit dari mereka akan selamat. Aku, TUHAN Allah Israel telah berbicara."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ COLUI vien dal deserto, dal paese spaventevole, a guisa di turbini, che passano nel paese del Mezzodì. ² Una dura visione mi è stata annunziata. Il disleale ha trovato un disleale; il guastatore ha trovato un guastatore. Sali, Elam; Media, assedia; io ho fatto cessare ogni gemito. ³ Perciò i miei lombi son pieni di doglia; dolori mi hanno colto, simili a’ dolori della donna che partorisce; io mi sono scontorto, per ciò che ho udito; e mi sono smarrito, per ciò che ho veduto. ⁴ Il mio cuore è smarrito, orrore mi ha conturbato, il vespro de’ miei diletti mi è stato cangiato in ispavento. ⁵ Mentre la tavola sarà apparecchiata, e le guardie staranno alla veletta, e si mangerà, e si berrà; levatevi, capitani, ungete lo scudo. ⁶ perciocchè così mi ha detto il Signore: Va’, metti uno alla veletta, ed annunzii ciò ch’egli vedrà. ⁷ Ed egli vide carri, coppie di cavalieri, carri tirati da asini, e carri tirati da cammelli; e considerò tutto ciò molto attentamente. ⁸ E gridò, come un leone: Io sto, Signore, del continuo nella veletta di giorno, e sto in piè nella mia guardia tutte le notti. ⁹ Ed ecco, son venuti carri d’uomini, coppie di cavalieri. Ed egli rispose, e disse: Caduta, caduta è Babilonia, e tutte le sculture de’ suoi dii sono state spezzate, egittate a terra. ¹⁰ Ella è ciò che io ho adunato nella mia aia, per trebbiarlo. Io vi ho annunziato ciò che io ho udito dal Signor degli eserciti, dall’Iddio d’Israele. ¹¹ Il carico di Duma. EI si grida a me di Seir: Guardia, che hai tu veduto dopo la notte? Guardia, che hai tu veduto dopo la notte? ¹² La guardia ha detto: La mattina è venuta, e poi anche la notte; se voi ne domandate, domandate pure, ritornate, venite. ¹³ Il carico contro all’Arabia. VOI passerete la notte nelle selve di Arabia, o carovane di Dedanei. ¹⁴ Ei si è portato dell’acqua incontro agli assetati; gli abitanti del paese di Tema son venuti col loro pane incontro a’ fuggenti. ¹⁵ Perciocchè son fuggiti d’innanzi alle spade, d’innanzi alla spada tratta, d’innanzi all’arco teso, e d’innanzi allo sforzo della battaglia. ¹⁶ Perciocchè il Signore mi ha detto così: Infa un anno, quale è il termine degli anni di un servitore tolto a prezzo, tutta la gloria di Chedar verrà meno. ¹⁷ (H21-16) E il rimanente del numero de’ forti arcieri de’ figliuoli di Chedar sarà poco; perciocchè il Signore Iddio d’Israele ha parlato.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Oracolo contro il deserto marittimo. Come gli uragani del mezzodì quando si scatenano, ei viene dal deserto, da un paese spaventoso. ² Una visione terribile m’è stata data: "Il perfido agisce con perfidia, il devastatore devasta. Sali, o Elam! Metti l’assedio o Media! Io fo cessare ogni gemito". ³ Perciò i miei fianchi son pieni si dolori; delle doglie m’han còlto, pari alle doglie d’una donna di parto; io mi contorco, per quel che sento; sono spaventato da quel che vedo. ⁴ Il mio cuore si smarrisce, il terrore s’impossessa di me; la sera, alla quale anelavo, è diventato per me uno spavento. ⁵ Si prepara la mensa, veglian le guardie, si mangia, si beve… "In piedi, o capi! ungete lo scudo!" ⁶ Poiché così m’ha parlato il Signore: "Va, metti una sentinella; ch’essa annunzi quel che vedrà!" ⁷ Essa vide della cavalleria, de’ cavalieri a due a due, della truppa a dorso d’asini, della truppa a dorso di cammelli; e quella ascoltava, ascoltava attentamente. ⁸ Poi gridò come un leone: "O Signore, di giorni io sto del continuo sulla torre di vedetta, e tutte le notti sono in piè nel mio posto di guardia. ⁹ Ed ecco venir della cavalleria, dei cavalieri a due a due". E quella riprese a dire: "Caduta, caduta è Babilonia! e tutte le immagini scolpite de’ suoi dèi giaccion frantumate al suolo". ¹⁰ O popolo mio, che ti sei trebbiato come il grano della mia aia, ciò che ho udito dall’Eterno degli eserciti, dall’Iddio d’Israele, io te l’ho annunziato! ¹¹ Oracolo contro Duma. Mi si grida da Seir: "Sentinella, a che punto è la notte? Sentinella, a che punto è la notte?" ¹² La sentinella risponde: "Vien la mattina, e vien anche la notte. Se volete interrogare, interrogate pure; tornate un’altra volta". ¹³ Oracolo contro l’Arabia. Passerete la notte nelle foreste, in Arabia, o carovane dei Dedaniti! ¹⁴ Venite incontro all’assetato con dell’acqua, o abitanti del paese di Tema; recate del pane ai fuggiaschi. ¹⁵ Poich’essi fuggon dinanzi alle spade, dinanzi alla spada snudata, dinanzi all’arco teso, dinanzi al furor della battaglia. ¹⁶ Poiché così m’ha parlato il Signore: "Fra un anno, contato come quello d’un mercenario, tutta la gloria di Kedar sarà venuta meno, ¹⁷ e ciò che resterà del numero dei valorosi arcieri di Kedar sarà poca cosa; poiché l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, l’ha detto".

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 해변 광야에 관한 경고라 적병이 광야에서 두려운 땅에서 남방 회리바람 같이 몰려 왔도다 ² 혹독한 묵시가 내게 보였도다 주께서 가라사대 속이는 자는 속이고 약탈하는 자는 약탈하도다 엘람이여 올라가고 매대여 에워싸라 그의 모든 탄식을 내가 그치게 하였노라 하시도다 ³ 이러므로 나의 요통이 심하여 임산한 여인의 고통 같은 고통이 내게 임하였으므로 고통으로 인하여 듣지 못하며 놀라서 보지 못하도다 ⁴ 내 마음이 진동하며 두려움이 나를 놀래며 희망의 서광이 변하여 내게 떨림이 되도다 ⁵ 그들이 식탁을 베풀고 파숫군을 세우고 먹고 마시도다 너희 방백들아 일어나 방패에 기름을 바를지어다 ⁶ 주께서 내게 이르시되 가서 파숫군을 세우고 그 보는 것을 고하게 하되 ⁷ 마병대가 쌍쌍이 오는 것과 나귀떼와 약대떼를 보거든 자세히 유심히 들으라 하셨더니 ⁸ 파숫군이 사자 같이 부르짖기를 주여 내가 낮에 늘 망대에 섰었고 밤이 맞도록 파수하는 곳에 있었더니 ⁹ 마병대가 쌍쌍이 오나이다 그가 대답하여 가라사대 함락되었도다 함락되었도다 바벨론이여 그 신들의 조각한 형상이 다 부숴져 땅에 떨어졌도다 하시도다 ¹⁰ 너 나의 타작한 것이여 나의 마당의 곡식이여 내가 이스라엘의 하나님 만군의 여호와께 들은대로 너희에게 고하였노라 ¹¹ 두마에 관한 경고라 사람이 세일에서 나를 부르되 파숫군이여 밤이 어떻게 되었느뇨 파숫군이여 밤이 어떻게 되었느뇨 ¹² 파숫군이 가로되 아침이 오나니 밤도 오리라 네가 물으려거든 물으라 너희는 돌아올지니라 ¹³ 아라비아에 관한 경고라 드단 대상이여 너희가 아라비아 수풀에서 유숙하리라 ¹⁴ 데마 땅의 거민들아 물을 가져다가 목마른 자에게 주고 떡을 가지고 도피하는 자를 영접하라 ¹⁵ 그들이 칼날을 피하며 뺀 칼과 당긴 활과 전쟁의 어려움에서 도망하였음이니라 ¹⁶ 주께서 이같이 내게 이르시되 품군의 정한 기한 같이 일년내에 게달의 영광이 다 쇠멸하리니 ¹⁷ 게달 자손 중 활 가진 용사의 남은 수가 적으리라 하시니라 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와의 말씀이니라

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pranašavimas apie pajūrio dykumą. Viesulas kyla iš pietų, ateina iš dykumos, iš baimę keliančio krašto. ² Aš turėjau bauginantį regėjimą: plėšikas plėšia, naikintojas naikina. Pakilk, Elamai! Medija, apgulk! Aš padarysiu galą visiems vaitojimams. ³ Man strėnas skauda; skausmai suėmė mane lyg gimdyvę, aš nebegaliu girdėti nė matyti. ⁴ Mano širdis dreba, baimė ima mane; mano malonumų naktis Jis pavertė siaubu. ⁵ Stalas padengtas, kilimai ištiesti, jie valgo ir geria. Kunigaikščiai, pakilkite, patepkite skydus! ⁶ Viešpats man įsakė: “Eik, pastatyk sargą, ką jis matys, tepraneša!” ⁷ Jis pamatė vežimą, traukiamą poros žirgų, raitelį ant asilo ir raitelį ant kupranugario, ir jis labai atidžiai stebėjo. ⁸ Jis šaukė kaip liūtas: “Viešpatie, aš stoviu sargyboje dieną ir budžiu naktimis. ⁹ Štai, artėja vežimas ir pora raitelių”. Jis atsakė ir tarė: “Krito, krito Babilonas, visi jo dievų atvaizdai sutrupinti guli ant žemės!” ¹⁰ O mano klojimo iškultieji grūdai! Ką girdėjau iš kareivijų Viešpaties, Izraelio Dievo, tą pranešiau jums. ¹¹ Pranašavimas apie Dūmą. Jis šaukia man iš Seyro: “Sarge, kiek dar naktis tęsis? Sarge, kiek dar naktis tęsis?” ¹² Sargas atsakė: “Rytas artėja ir naktis. Jei norite klausti, klauskite vėl; sugrįžkite ir klauskite!” ¹³ Pranašavimas apie Arabiją. Jūs nakvosite Arabijos miškuose, Dedano karavanai. ¹⁴ Trokštančiam duokite vandens, pabėgėlius pasitikite su duona, Temos krašto gyventojai. ¹⁵ Jie bėga nuo kardo, nuo iškelto kardo, nuo įtempto lanko, nuo baisaus karo. ¹⁶ Viešpats man sako: “Dar vieneri metai, ir visa Kedaro didybė pranyks. ¹⁷ Kedaro sūnų, drąsiųjų šaulių, išliks tik mažas likutis, nes Viešpats, Izraelio Dievas, taip kalbėjo”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Brzemię pustego morza. Jako wicher na południe bieży, tak przyjdzie z puszczy, z ziemi strasznej. ² Widzenie srogie jest mi okazane. Przewrotny przewrotność broi, a pustoszyciel pustoszy. Przyciągnijże, Elamie! Oblęż, Medzie! Babilon; wszelkiemu wzdychaniu jego koniec uczynię. ³ Dlatego napełnione są biodra moje boleścią, a ucisk ogarnął mię, jako ucisk rodzącą. Skrzywiłem się słysząc, a strwożyłem się widząc. ⁴ Ulękło się serce moje, strach mię ogarnął; noc rozkoszy moich obróciła mi się w lękanie. ⁵ Przygotuj stół; niech straż na straży będzie; jedz, pij; wstańcie książęta, smarujcie tarcze. ⁶ Albowiem tak mi rzekł Pan: Idź, postaw stróża, któryby powiedział, cokolwiek ujrzy. ⁷ I ujrzał wozy, i dwa rzędy jezdnych; wozy, które osły, i wozy, które wielbłądy ciągnęły: i przypatrywał się im z wielką bardzo pilnością. ⁸ Tedy zawołał jako lew: Panie mój! jać stoję na straży ustawicznie we dnie; nawet na straży mojej staję na każdą noc. ⁹ (A oto wtem przyjechali mężowie na wozach, i jazda dwoma rzędami.) I zawołał strażnik, a rzekł: Upadł, upadł Babilon, i wszystkie ryte obrazy bogów jego pokruszone o ziemię. ¹⁰ Babilon jest gumno moje, i zboże bojewiska mego. Com słyszał od Pana zastępów, Boga Izraelskiego, tom wam opowiedział. ¹¹ Brzemię Dumy. Woła na mię ktoś z Seiru: Hej, stróżu! co się stało w nocy? Stróżu! co się stało w nocy? ¹² Rzekł stróż: Przyszedł poranek, także i noc. Chcecieli szukać, szukajcie, nawróćcie się a przyjdźcie. ¹³ Brzemię na Arabiję. Po lasach Arabii noclegi miewać będziecie, o podróżni Dedańscy! ¹⁴ Niech zabieżą pragnącemu, niosąc wodę obywatele ziemi Temańskiej; z chlebem jego niech wynijdą przeciw uciekającemu. ¹⁵ Bo przed mieczami uciekać będą, przed mieczem dobytym, przed łukiem napiętym, przed ciężkością bitwy. ¹⁶ Gdyż tak rzekł Pan do mnie: Że po roku, jaki jest rok najemniczy, ustanie wszystka sława Kedar. ¹⁷ A ostatek pocztu strzelców mężnych synów Kedar będzie umniejszony; albowiem to Pan Bóg Izraelski mówił.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Oráculo acerca do deserto do mar. Como os tufões de vento do sul, que tudo assolam, aí vem do deserto, duma terra horrível. ² Dura visão me foi manifesta: o pérfido trata perfidamente, e o destruidor anda destruindo. Sobe, ó Elam, sitia, ó Média; já fiz cessar todo o seu gemido. ³ Pelo que os meus lombos estão cheios de angústia; dores apoderaram-se de mim como as dores de mulher na hora do parto; estou tão atribulado que não posso ouvir, e tão desfalecido que não posso ver. ⁴ O meu coração se agita, o horror apavora-me; o crepúsculo, que desejava, tem-se-me tornado em tremores. ⁵ Eles põem a mesa, estendem os tapetes, comem, bebem. Levantai-vos, príncipes, e ungi o escudo. ⁶ Porque assim me disse o Senhor: Vai, põe uma sentinela; e ela que diga o que vir. ⁷ Quando vir uma tropa de cavaleiros de dois a dois, uma tropa de jumentos, ou uma tropa de camelos, escute a sentinela atentamente com grande cuidado. ⁸ Então clamou aquele que viu: Senhor, sobre a torre de vigia estou em pé continuamente de dia, e de guarda me ponho todas as noites. ⁹ E eis aqui agora vem uma tropa de homens, cavaleiros de dois a dois. Então ele respondeu e disse: Caiu, caiu Babilónia; e todas as imagens esculpidas de seus deuses são despedaçadas até o chão. ¹⁰ Ah, malhada minha, e trigo da minha eira! o que ouvi do Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, isso vos tenho anunciado. ¹¹ Oráculo acerca de Dumá. Alguém clama a mim de Seir: Guarda, que horas são da noite? guarda, que horas são da noite? ¹² Respondeu o guarda: Vem a manhã, e também a noite; se quereis perguntar, perguntai; voltai, vinde. ¹³ Oráculo contra a Arábia. Nos bosques da Arábia passareis a noite, ó caravanas de dedanitas. ¹⁴ Saí com água ao encontro dos sedentos; ó moradores da terra de Tema, saí com pão ao encontro dos fugitivos. ¹⁵ pois fogem diante das espadas, diante da espada desembainhada, e diante do arco armado, e diante da pressão da guerra. ¹⁶ porque assim me disse o Senhor: Dentro de um ano, tal como os anos de jornaleiro, toda a glória de Quedar esvaecerá. ¹⁷ e os restantes do número dos flecheiros, os valentes dos filhos de Quedar, serão diminuídos; porque assim o disse o Senhor, Deus de Israel.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Utsagn om Havørkenen*. Som stormvinder i ørkenen farer frem, kommer det fra ørkenen, fra det forferdelige land. / {* Babel, som skal bli til en stor øde myr; JES 21, 9. 14, 23.} ² Et hårdt syn er mig kunngjort: Røveren røver og ødeleggeren ødelegger. Dra op, Elam*! Treng på, Media! Hvert sukk gjør jeg ende på. / {* Persia; JES 22, 6.} ³ Derfor er mine lender fulle av smerte, veer har grepet mig, som den fødendes veer; jeg vrir mig så jeg ikke kan høre; jeg er forferdet så jeg ikke kan se. ⁴ Mitt sinn er forvirret, redsel har forferdet mig; aftenen, som var min lyst, har han* gjort til redsel for mig. / {* fienden.} ⁵ De dekker bordet, vakten våker, de eter og drikker - op, I høvdinger, smør skjoldene! ⁶ For så sa Herren til mig: Gå og still vaktmannen ut! Det han ser, skal han melde. ⁷ Og ser han et tog av ryttere, par efter par, et tog av asener, et tog av kameler, da skal han gi akt, gi nøie akt. ⁸ Da ropte han som en løve: Herre, på vakt står jeg alltid om dagen, og på min post er jeg stilt hver en natt; ⁹ men se der! Der kommer et tog av ridende menn, par av ryttere! - Og han tok til orde og sa: Falt, falt er Babel, og alle dets guders billeder har han* knust og kastet til jorden. / {* fienden. JER 51, 8. ÅPE 14, 8; 18, 2. 10.} ¹⁰ Du mitt knuste, mitt gjennemtreskede folk! Det jeg har hørt av Herren, hærskarenes Gud, Israels Gud, har jeg kunngjort for eder. ¹¹ Utsagn om Duma*. Til mig roper de fra Se'ir: Vekter! Hvor langt er det på natten? Vekter! Hvor langt er det på natten? / {* d.e. dødsstillhet; således kalles her Edom på grunn av den fullstendige ødeleggelse som skal ramme det.} ¹² Vekteren svarer: Det kommer morgen, men også natt; vil I spørre*, så spør - kom igjen! / {* senere.} ¹³ Utsagn mot Arabia. I skogen i Arabia skal I overnatte, I karavaner av dedanitter! ¹⁴ Ut til de tørste fører de vann; de som bor i Temas land, kommer de flyktende i møte med brød; ¹⁵ for de flykter for sverdet, for det dragne sverd og den spente bue og for krigens trykk. ¹⁶ For så har Herren sagt til mig: Om et år, således som en dagarbeider regner året, skal det være forbi med all Kedars herlighet. ¹⁷ Og tallet på de buer som levnes Kedars helter, skal bli lite; for Herren, Israels Gud, har talt.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Proorocie asupra pustiei mării. Cum înaintează vijelia dela miazăzi, aşa vine el din pustie, din ţara înfricoşată. ² O vedenie grozavă mi s'a descoperit. Asupritorul asupreşte, pustiitorul pustieşte. -,,Suie-te, Elamule! Împresoară, Medio! Căci fac să înceteze toate oftările lor, -zice Domnul.`` ³ De aceea mi s'a umplut inima de nelinişte, m'apucă durerile, ca durerile unei femei cînd naşte. Zvîrcolirile nu mă lasă s'aud, tremurul mă împedecă să văd. ⁴ Îmi bate inima cu putere, m'apucă groaza; noaptea plăcerilor mele ajunge o noapte de spaimă. ⁵ Ei pun masa, straja veghează, şi ei mănîncă, beau... Dar deodată se aude strigînd:,,În picioare, voivozi! Ungeţi scutul!`` ⁶ Căci aşa mi -a vorbit Domnul:,,Du-te şi pune un străjer, ca să dea de veste despre ce va vedea.`` - ⁷ El a văzut călărime, călăreţi doi cîte doi, călăreţi pe măgari, călăreţi pe cămile; şi asculta cu luare aminte, cu cea mai mare băgare de seamă. ⁸ Apoi a strigat, ca un leu:,,Doamne, am stat mereu în turnul meu de pază, şi stam de strajă în toate nopţile. ⁹ Şi iată că a venit călărime şi călăreţi doi cîte doi.`` Apoi a luat iarăş cuvîntul, şi a zis:,,A căzut, a căzut Babilonul, şi toate icoanele dumnezeilor lui sînt sfărîmate la pămînt!`` ¹⁰ O, poporul meu, care ai fost stropşit ca boabele de grîu din aria mea, ce am auzit dela Domnul oştirilor, Dumnezeul lui Israel, aceea vă vestesc. ¹¹ Proorocie asupra Dumei. Mi se strigă din Seir:,,Străjerule, cît mai este din noapte?``,,Străjerule, mai este mult din noapte?`` ¹² Străjerul răspunde:,,Vine dimineaţa, şi este tot noapte. Dacă vreţi să întrebaţi, întrebaţi; întoarceţi-vă, şi veniţi iarăş.`` ¹³ Proorocie asupra Arabiei. Veţi petrece noaptea în tufele Arabiei, cete de negustori din Dedan! ¹⁴ Duceţi apă celor ce le este sete; locuitorii ţării Tema duceţi pîne fugarilor! ¹⁵ Căci ei fug dinaintea săbiilor, dinaintea săbiei scoase din teacă, dinaintea arcului încordat, şi dinaintea unei lupte înverşunate. ¹⁶ Căci aşa mi -a vorbit Domnul:,,Încă un an, ca anii unui simbriaş, şi s'a isprăvit cu toată slava Chedarului. ¹⁷ Nu va mai rămînea decît un mic număr din vitejii arcaşi, fii ai Chedarului, căci Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel, a spus -o.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Пророцтво про пустиню надморську. Як носяться бурі на півдні, так ворог іде із пустині, із краю страшного. ² Видіння грізне мені явлене: Грабує грабіжник, пустошник пустошить. Прийди, о Еламе, Мадай обложи, усяким зідханням зробив Я кінець. ³ Тому то наповнилися мої стегна тремтінням, і болі схопили мене, немов породільні ті болі. Я скривився від того, що чув, я від баченого перестрашивсь. ⁴ Забилося серце моє, тремтіння напало мене несподівано; вечір розкоші моєї змінився мені на страхіття. ⁵ Поставлений стіл, килимами накрито, їсться та п'ється. Уставайте, правителі, щити намастіть! ⁶ Бо до мене сказав Господь так: Іди, вартового постав, що побачить, нехай донесе. ⁷ І коли він похода побачив, по парі їздців, поїзд ослів, поїзд верблюдів, і прислухується він з увагою, із увагою пильною. ⁸ І він крикнув, як лев: Я завжди стою вдень на варті, о Господи, і стою на сторожі своїй усі ночі! ⁹ Аж ось іще похід мужів, по двоє їздців. І він відповів та сказав: Упав, упав Вавилон, а всі статуї богів його порозбивані об землю! ¹⁰ О мій помолочений ти, сину току мого! Я звістив вам, що чув був від Господа Саваота, Бога Ізраїлевого. ¹¹ Пророцтво про Думу. До мене кричить із Сеїру: Стороже, яка пора ночі? Стороже, яка пора ночі? ¹² А сторож сказав: Настав ранок, а все ж іще ніч. Якщо ви питатимете, то питайте та знову прийдіть! ¹³ Пророцтво про Арабію. У лісі в степу ночувати, ви будете каравани деданів. ¹⁴ Мешканці Теманського краю, винесіть воду назустріч для спрагненого, втікача зустрічайте із хлібом! ¹⁵ Бо втекли вони перед мечами, перед голим мечем, і перед натягненим луком, і перед тяготою війни. ¹⁶ Бо до мене Господь сказав так: Ще за рік, як рік наймита, і вся слава Кедару покінчиться. ¹⁷ А понадто полишиться невелике число лучників з лицарів кедарських синів, бо Господь, Бог Ізраїлів, це говорив.
