Isaías 17

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from {being} a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks; and they shall lie down and there shall be none to make them afraid.3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts.4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.5 And it shall be as when the reaper gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.6 And a gleaning shall be left in it, as at the shaking of an olive-tree: two, three berries above, in the tree-top; four, five in its fruitful boughs, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.7 In that day shall man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have regard to the Holy One of Israel.8 And he will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, nor have regard to what his fingers have made, neither the Asherahs nor the sun-images.9 In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken tract in the woodland, and the mountain-top which they forsook before the children of Israel; and there shall be desolation.10 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plantations, and shalt set them with foreign slips:11 in the day of thy planting wilt thou make {them} to grow, and on the morrow wilt thou make thy seed to flourish; {but} the harvest will flee in the day of taking possession, and the sorrow will be incurable.12 Ha! a tumult of many peoples! they make a noise as the noise of the seas; -and the rushing of nations! they rush as the rushing of mighty waters.13 The nations rush as the rushing of many waters; but he will rebuke them, and they shall flee far away, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a whirling {of dust} before the whirlwind:14 behold, at eventide, trouble; before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

1 Godspraak oor Damaskus. Kyk, Damaskus word weggeneem, sodat dit geen stad meer is nie, maar dit sal 'n vervalle puinhoop word.2 Die stede Aroër sal verlate wees; vir die troppe vee sal hulle wees wat daar sal lê sonder dat iemand hulle skrikmaak.3 En die vesting sal verdwyn uit Efraim, en die koningskap uit Damaskus; en met die oorblyfsel van Aram sal dit gaan soos met die heerlikheid van die kinders van Israel, spreek die HERE van die leërskare.4 En in die dag sal die heerlikheid van Jakob gering word, en die vet van sy vlees sal wegteer.5 En dit sal wees soos wanneer die maaier die ongesnyde graan bymekaarvat en sy arm die are afmaai; ja, dit sal wees soos wanneer iemand are optel in die dal Refaim.6 Maar 'n na-oes sal daarin oorbly soos by die afslaan van die olywe: twee, drie vruggies bo in die top; vier, vyf in die takke van die vrugteboom, spreek die HERE, die God van Israel.7 In die dag sal die mens kyk na sy Maker, en sy oë sal sien op die Heilige van Israel;8 en hy sal nie kyk na die altare nie, die werk van sy hande; en wat sy vingers gemaak het, sal hy nie aansien nie: die heilige boomstamme en die sonpilare.9 In die dag sal die stede wat sy toevlug was, wees soos die bouvalle van die bos en van die bergtop wat verlaat is vanweë die kinders van Israel, en dit sal 'n wildernis wees.10 Want jy het vergeet die God van jou heil en nie gedink aan die rots wat jou toevlug was nie. Daarom lê jy lieflike tuine aan en beplant dit met uitlandse wingerdstokke;11 die dag as jy plant, laat jy dit groei, en in die môre laat jy jou saad uitspruit; maar dit sal wees 'n hoop geoeste graan op die dag van krankheid en ongeneeslike smart.12 Wee die gebruis van baie volke -- soos die gebruis van die see, so bruis hulle! En die gedruis van nasies -- soos die gedruis van geweldige waters, so maak hulle gedruis!13 Nasies maak gedruis soos die gedruis van baie waters; maar Hy dreig hulle, en hulle vlug ver weg en word gejaag soos kaf van die berge voor die wind en soos strooi voor die stormwind.14 In die aand -- daar is verskrikking! Voordat dit môre word, is hulle nie meer nie. Dit is die deel van hulle wat ons plunder, en die lot van hulle wat ons beroof.
