1
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;
Wee hulle wat onregverdige dekrete voorskryf, en wat smartvolle besluite skryf wat hulle voorgeskryf het;

AFR DVK
2
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!
Om die behoeftiges van die oordeel af te wend, en om die reg van die armes van my volk weg te neem, dat weduwees hulle prooi mag wees, en dat hulle die wees mag roof!
3
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
En wat sal julle doen in die dag van besoeking, en in die verwoesting wat van ver af sal kom? tot wie sal julle vlug vir hulp? en waar sal julle julle heerlikheid laat?
4
Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
Sonder My sal hulle buk onder die gevangenes, en hulle sal val onder die dooies. Vir dit alles is sy toorn nie afgewend nie, maar sy hand is nog uitgestrek.
5
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
O Assiriër, die roede van my toorn, en die staf in hulle hand is my verontwaardiging.
6
I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ek sal hom stuur teen ‚'n huigelaarige nasie, en teen die volk van my toorn sal ek hom bevel gee, om die buit te neem, en om die prooi te neem, en om hulle te vertrap soos die mis van die strate.
7
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
Nogtans bedoel hy dit nie so nie, en sy hart dink dit ook nie so nie; maar dit is in sy hart om te vernietig en af te sny nasies nie ‚'n paar nie.
8
For he saith, [Are] not my princes altogether kings?
Want hy sê, Is my vorstes nie almal konings nie?
9
[Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as Arpad? [is] not Samaria as Damascus?
Is nie Kalno soos Karkemis nie? is nie Hamat soos Arpad nie? is nie Samaría soos Damaskus nie?
10
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
Soos my hand die koninkryke van die afgode gevind het, en wie se gesnede beelde meer was as dié van Jérusalem en van Samaría;
11
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Sal ek nie soos ek aan Samaría en haar afgode gedoen het, so aan Jérusalem en haar afgode doen nie?
12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Daarom sal dit gebeur, wanneer die Here sy hele werk op die berg Sion en op Jérusalem voleindig het, dat ek die vrug van die trots hart van die koning van Assirië, en die heerlikheid van sy hoë blikke, sal besoek.
13
For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant [man]:
Want hy sê, Deur die krag van my hand het ek dit gedoen, en deur my wysheid; want ek is verstandig: en ek het die grense van die volk verwyder, en hulle skatte geplunder, en ek het die inwoners soos ’n magtige man neergewerp:
14
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
En my hand het die rykdom van die volk gevind soos ‚'n nes: en soos ‚'n mens eiers bymekaarmaak wat verlaat is, so het ek die hele aarde bymekaargemaak; en daar was niemand wat die vlerk beweeg het, of die mond oopgemaak het, of gepiep het nie.
15
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake [itself] against them that lift it up, [or] as if the staff should lift up [itself, as if it were] no wood.
Sal die byl homself verhef teen hom wat daarmee kap? of sal die saag homself verhef teen hom wat dit trek? soos of die staf sou skud teen dié wat dit optel, of as of die stok sou optel teen dié wat geen hout is nie.
16
Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
Daarom sal die Here, die HERE van leërskare, onder sy vette ’n magting stuur; en onder sy heerlikheid sal Hy ’n brand aansteek soos die brand van ’n vuur.
17
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
En die lig van Israel sal vir ‚'n vuur wees, en sy Heilige vir ‚'n vlam: en dit sal sy dorings en sy distels in een dag verteer;
18
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
En sal die heerlikheid van sy woud, en van sy vrugbare veld, beide siel en liggaam, verteer: en hulle sal wees soos wanneer ‚'n vaandeldrager flou word.
19
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
En die res van die bome van sy woud sal min wees, dat ‚'n kind hulle mag opskrywe.
20
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
En dit sal in daardie dag gebeur, dat die oorblyfsel van Israel, en dié wat van die huis van Jakob ontvlug is, nie meer op hom sal steun wat hulle geslaan het nie; maar sal in waarheid op die HERE, die Heilige van Israel, steun.
21
The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
Die oorblyfsel sal terugkeer, selfs die oorblyfsel van Jakob, tot die magtige God.
22
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Want al is jou volk Israel soos die sand van die see, tog sal ‚'n oorblyfsel van hulle terugkeer: die vernietiging is vasgestel, oorvloeiend met geregtigheid.
23
For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
Want die Here GOD van leërskare sal ’n vernietiging maak, selfs vasgestel, in die midde van die hele land.
24
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Daarom so sê die Here GOD van leërskare, O my volk wat in Sion woon, wees nie bang vir die Assiriër nie: hy sal jou met ’n roede slaan, en sy staf teen jou optel, na die manier van Egipte.
25
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
Want nog ‚'n baie klein rukkie, en die verontwaardiging sal ophou, en my toorn in hulle vernietiging.
26
And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and [as] his rod [was] upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
En die HERE van leërskare sal vir hom ’n gesel opwek soos in die slagting van Midian by die rots van Oreb: en soos sy staf was op die see, so sal Hy dit optel na die manier van Egipte.
27
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
En dit sal in daardie dag gebeur, dat sy las van jou skouer af weggehaal sal word, en sy juk van jou nek af, en die juk sal vernietig word vanweë die salwing.
28
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
Hy is na Ajat gekom, hy is by Migron verbygegaan; by Migmas het hy sy voertuie neergesit:
29
They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
Hulle is by die pas oorgegaan: hulle het hulle nagverblyf by Geba geneem; Rama is bevrees; Gibea van Saul is gevlug.
30
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Hef jou stem op, o dogter van Gallim: laat dit gehoor word tot Lais, o arme Anatot.
31
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Madmena is verwyder; die inwoners van Gebim versamel hulleself om te vlug.
32
As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Nog dieselfde dag sal hy by Nob bly: hy sal sy hand skud teen die berg van die dogter van Sion, die heuwel van Jérusalem.
33
Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
Kyk, die Here, die HERE van leërskare, sal die tak met verskrikking afkap: en die hoë van statuur sal afgekap word, en die hoogmoediges sal verneder word.
34
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
En Hy sal die digte woude van die woud met yster afkap, en Líbanon sal val deur ’n magtige een.
