that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
18:3
ወይሄልዉ፡ በሐውርቲሆሙ።
世上一切的居民和地上所住的人哪， 山上豎立大旗的時候你們要看； 吹角的時候你們要聽。
All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen!
For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
18:5
ዘእምቅድመ፡ ማእረር፣፡ ኀሊቆ፡ ጽጌ፡ ወቆዕ፡ ይፈሪ፡ ፍሬ፡ መፂፀ።
收割之先，花開已謝， 花也成了將熟的葡萄； 他必用鐮刀削去嫩枝， 又砍掉蔓延的枝條，
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
18:6
ወይትበውሑ፡ ላዕሌሁ፡ አዕዋፈ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወአርዌ፡ ገዳም።
都要撇給山間的鷙鳥和地上的野獸。 夏天，鷙鳥要宿在其上； 冬天，野獸都臥在其中。
They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will eat them in the summer, and all the animals of the earth will eat them in the winter.
In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.
