1. The burden of the desert of the sea: As tempests in the Negeb pass, it comes from the desert from a terrifying land.
|
1. The burden H4853 of the desert H4057 of the sea H3220 . As whirlwinds H5492 in the south H5045 pass through H2498 ; so it cometh H935 from the desert H4480 H4057 , from a terrible H3372 land H4480 H776 .
|
|
2. A harsh vision is revealed to me; the one betraying betrays, and the one ravaging ravages. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! I have caused all her sighing to cease.
|
2. A grievous H7186 vision H2380 is declared H5046 unto me ; the treacherous dealer H898 dealeth treacherously H898 , and the spoiler H7703 spoileth H7703 . Go up H5927 , O Elam H5867 : besiege H6696 , O Media H4074 ; all H3605 the sighing H585 thereof have I made to cease H7673 .
|
|
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.
|
3. Therefore H5921 H3651 are my loins H4975 filled H4390 with pain H2479 : pangs H6735 have taken hold H270 upon me , as the pangs H6735 of a woman that travaileth H3205 : I was bowed down H5753 at the hearing H4480 H8085 of it ; I was dismayed H926 at the seeing H4480 H7200 of it .
|
|
4. My heart wanders; terror overwhelms me; He has made the twilight of my desire into a fear.
|
4. My heart H3824 panted H8582 , fearfulness H6427 frightened H1204 H853 me : the night H5399 of my pleasure H2837 hath he turned H7760 into fear H2731 unto me.
|
|
5. Arrange the table; watch in the watchtower; eat, drink; rise up, rulers, and anoint the shield.
|
5. Prepare H6186 the table H7979 , watch H6822 in the watchtower H6844 , eat H398 , drink H8354 : arise H6965 , ye princes H8269 , and anoint H4886 the shield H4043 .
|
|
6. For so the Lord has said to me: Go, set a watchman; he will declare what he sees.
|
6. For H3588 thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 said H559 unto H413 me, Go H1980 , set H5975 a watchman H6822 , let him declare H5046 what H834 he seeth H7200 .
|
|
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.
|
7. And he saw H7200 a chariot H7393 with a couple H6776 of horsemen H6571 , a chariot H7393 of asses H2543 , and a chariot H7393 of camels H1581 ; and he hearkened H7181 diligently H7182 with much H7227 heed H7182 :
|
|
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.
|
8. And he cried H7121 , A lion H738 : My lord H113 , I H595 stand H5975 continually H8548 upon H5921 the watchtower H4707 in the daytime H3119 , and I H595 am set H5324 in H5921 my ward H4931 whole H3605 nights H3915 :
|
|
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 graven images of her gods to the earth.
|
9. And, behold H2009 , here H2088 cometh H935 a chariot H7393 of men H376 , with a couple H6776 of horsemen H6571 . And he answered H6030 and said H559 , Babylon H894 is fallen H5307 , is fallen H5307 ; and all H3605 the graven images H6456 of her gods H430 he hath broken H7665 unto the ground H776 .
|
|
10. Oh my threshing, and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard of Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, I have told to you.
|
10. O my threshing H4098 , and the corn H1121 of my floor H1637 : that which H834 I have heard H8085 of H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , have I declared H5046 unto you.
|
|
11. The burden of Dumah: He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
|
11. The burden H4853 of Dumah H1746 . He calleth H7121 to H413 me out of Seir H4480 H8165 , Watchman H8104 , what H4100 of the night H4480 H3915 ? Watchman H8104 , what H4100 of the night H4480 H3915 ?
|
|
12. The watchman says, The morning comes, and also night. If you would inquire, inquire. Come! Return!
|
12. The watchman H8104 said H559 , The morning H1242 cometh H857 , and also H1571 the night H3915 : if H518 ye will inquire H1158 , inquire H1158 ye: return H7725 , come H857 .
|
|
13. The burden of Arabia: You shall stay in the forest of Arabia, travelers of Dedanites.
|
13. The burden H4853 upon Arabia H6152 . In the forest H3293 in Arabia H6152 shall ye lodge H3885 , O ye traveling companies H736 of Dedanim H1720 .
|
|
14. The people of the land of Tema bring water to him who is thirsty; they went to meet the fugitive with his bread.
|
14. The inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 of Tema H8485 brought H857 water H4325 to him that was thirsty H6771 , they prevented H6923 with their bread H3899 him that fled H5074 .
|
|
15. For they fled from before swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the press of battle.
|
15. For H3588 they fled H5074 from H4480 H6440 the swords H2719 , from H4480 H6440 the drawn H5203 sword H2719 , and from H4480 H6440 the bent H1869 bow H7198 , and from H4480 H6440 the grievousness H3514 of war H4421 .
|
|
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,
|
16. For H3588 thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 said H559 unto H413 me, Within H5750 a year H8141 , according to the years H8141 of a hireling H7916 , and all H3605 the glory H3519 of Kedar H6938 shall fail H3615 :
|
|
17. and the rest of the number of the archers, the warriors of the sons of Kedar, shall be few. For Jehovah God of Israel has spoken.
|
17. And the residue H7605 of the number H4557 of archers H7198 , the mighty men H1368 of the children H1121 of Kedar H6938 , shall be diminished H4591 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 hath spoken H1696 it .
