1 A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,
2 As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.
3 And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.
4 See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.
5 Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.
6 And a mixed people will be living in Ashdod, and I will have the pride of the Philistines cut off.
7 And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.
8 And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.
9 Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.
10 And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11 And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.
12 And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;
13 For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.
14 And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.
15 The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God will be their saviour in that day, giving them food like the flock of his people: for they will be like the jewels of a crown shining over his land.
17 For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.
1 以下是耶和华的默示： 耶和华的话临到哈得拉地， 落在大马士革（世人的眼睛和以色列各支派都仰望耶和华），
2 又临到大马士革边界的哈马， 还有推罗、西顿， 尽管她们有极大的智慧。
3 推罗为自己建造了堡垒， 堆积银子， 多如尘沙， 积聚精金， 多如街上的泥土。
4 看哪！ 主必夺去她的一切， 摧毁她海上的势力， 她必被火吞灭。
5 亚实基伦看见了， 就必害怕； 迦萨看见了也必非常痛苦； 以革伦因失去盼望而蒙羞。迦萨的王必灭亡， 亚实基伦必不再有人居住。
6 混杂的种族必住在亚实突， 我必除掉非利士人的骄傲。
7 我必除去他们口中的血， 和他们牙齿间可憎之物。余剩下来的人要归于我们的 神， 像犹大的一族； 以革伦人也必像耶布斯人一样。
8 我必在我的家四围安营， 不容敌军出入往来； 欺压人的不能再侵犯我的子民， 因我现在亲眼看顾他们。
9 锡安的居民哪！ 要大大喜乐。耶路撒冷的居民（"居民"原文作"女子"）哪！ 应当欢呼。看哪！ 你的王来到你这里了， 他是公义的， 是得胜的。他又是温柔的， 他骑着驴， 骑的是小驴。
10 我必从以法莲除掉战车， 从耶路撒冷除掉战马。争战的弓必被除掉， 他要向列国宣讲和平。他的统治权必从这海延伸到那海， 从幼发拉底河直到地极。
11 锡安哪！ 至于你， 因着我与你立约的血， 我把你中间被囚禁的人从无水的坑里释放出来。
12 你们被囚仍有盼望的人哪！ 要归回保障。今天我要宣告： 我必加倍补偿给你。
13 我把犹大作我手上拉开的弓， 把以法莲作我弓上的箭。锡安哪！ 我必激动你的众子， 去攻击希腊的众子； 我必使你像勇士的刀剑。
14 耶和华必在他子民头上显现， 他的箭必像闪电一般射出； 主耶和华必吹起号角， 乘着南方的暴风而行。
15 万军之耶和华必护卫他们， 他们要用投石器投石吞灭和制伏敌人； 他们必喝血， 并且喧嚷， 像喝醉了酒一样； 他们必像献祭用的碗盛满了血， 又像祭坛的角， 沾满了血。
16 到那日， 耶和华他们的 神必拯救他们， 待他的子民好像羊群一样， 因为他们必像冠冕上的宝石， 闪耀在他的地上。
17 他们将是多么的善， 多么的美； 五谷和新酒使少男少女生气蓬勃。
