Berean Standard Bible
1Onus Damasci. [Ecce Damascus desinet esse civitas, et erit sicut acervus lapidum in ruina.
1This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.
2Derelictæ civitates Aroër gregibus erunt, et requiescent ibi, et non erit qui exterreat.
2The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be left to the flocks, which will lie down with no one to fear.
3Et cessabit adjutorium ab Ephraim, et regnum a Damasco; et reliquiæ Syriæ sicut gloria filiorum Israël erunt, dicit Dominus exercituum.
3The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
4Et erit in die illa: attenuabitur gloria Jacob, et pinguedo carnis ejus marcescet.
4“In that day the splendor of Jacob will fade, and the fat of his body will waste away,
5Et erit sicut congregans in messe quod restiterit, et brachium ejus spicas leget; et erit sicut quærens spicas in valle Raphaim.
5as the reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the ears with his arm, as one gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
6Et relinquetur in eo sicut racemus et sicut excussio oleæ duarum vel trium olivarum in summitate rami, sive quatuor aut quinque in cacuminibus ejus fructus ejus, dicit Dominus Deus Israël.
6Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten— two or three berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
7In die illa inclinabitur homo ad factorem suum, et oculi ejus ad Sanctum Israël respicient;
7In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
8et non inclinabitur ad altaria quæ fecerunt manus ejus; et quæ operati sunt digiti ejus non respiciet lucos et delubra.
8They will not look to the altars they have fashioned with their hands or to the Asherahs and incense altars they have made with their fingers.
9In die illa erunt civitates fortitudinis ejus derelictæ sicut aratra, et segetes quæ derelictæ sunt a facie filiorum Israël; et eris deserta.
9In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken thickets and summits, abandoned to the Israelites and to utter desolation.
10Quia oblitus es Dei salvatoris tui, et fortis adjutoris tui non es recordata: propterea plantabis plantationem fidelem, et germen alienum seminabis;
10For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge. Therefore, though you cultivate delightful plots and set out cuttings from exotic vines—
11in die plantationis tuæ labrusca, et mane semen tuum florebit; ablata est messis in die hæreditatis, et dolebit graviter.
11though on the day you plant you make them grow, and on that morning you help your seed sprout— yet the harvest will vanish on the day of disease and incurable pain.
12Væ multitudini populorum multorum, ut multitudo maris sonantis; et tumultus turbarum, sicut sonitus aquarum multarum.
12Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.
13Sonabunt populi sicut sonitus aquarum inundantium, et increpabit eum, et fugiet procul; et rapietur sicut pulvis montium a facie venti, et sicut turbo coram tempestate.
13The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.
14In tempore vespere, et ecce turbatio; in matutino, et non subsistet. Hæc est pars eorum qui vastaverunt nos, et sors diripientium nos.]
14In the evening, there is sudden terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us and the lot of those who plunder us.
