A revelation. Yahweh’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus— for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh—
9:2
ወበኤመት፡ ብስተ፡ ደወለ፡ ጢሮስ፡ ወሲዶና፡ ስመ፡ ሐላዩ፡ ፈድፋደ።
和靠近的哈馬,並泰爾、西頓; 因為這二城的人大有智慧。
and Hamath, also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
9:6
ወይነብሩ፡ ካልኣን፡ አህዛብ፡ ውስተ፡ አዛጦን፡ ወእሥዕር፡ ጽዕለተ፡ ኢሎፍሊ።
私生子 必住在亞實突; 我必除滅非利士人的驕傲。
Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
I will encamp around my house against the army, that no one pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations. His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9:11
ወአንቲ፡ በደመ፡ ስርዓት፡ ፈነውኩ፡ መቁሖነኪ፡ እምዐዘቃት፡ ዘአልቦ፡ ማየ።
錫安哪,我因與你立約的血, 將你中間被擄而囚的人從無水的坑中釋放出來。
As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have loaded the bow with Ephraim. I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Yahweh of Armies will defend them. They will destroy and overcome with sling stones. They will drink, and roar as through wine. They will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
