Mensaje acerca de Etiopía
18 Escucha, Etiopía,[a] tierra de ondulantes velas[b]
que está ubicada a la cabecera del Nilo,
2 que envía embajadores
río abajo en rápidos barcos.
¡Vayan, veloces mensajeros!
Llévenle un mensaje a un pueblo de gente alta con piel suave,
temido en todas partes
por sus conquistas y destrucción,
y cuya tierra está dividida por ríos.
3 Todos ustedes, habitantes del mundo,
todos los que viven en la tierra:
cuando levante mi bandera de guerra, ¡miren!
Cuando toque el cuerno de carnero, ¡escuchen!
4 Pues el Señor me ha dicho:
«Observaré en silencio desde el lugar donde habito,
tan silencioso como sube el calor en un día de verano,
o como se forma el rocío de la mañana durante la cosecha».
5 Aun antes que ustedes comiencen a atacar,
mientras sus planes maduran como uvas,
el Señor cortará sus brotes nuevos con podaderas;
cortará y descartará las ramas extendidas.
6 Su poderoso ejército quedará muerto por los campos,
abandonado para los buitres de las montañas y los animales salvajes.
Los buitres despedazarán los cadáveres durante el verano
y los animales salvajes roerán los huesos durante el invierno.
7 En aquel tiempo, el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales recibirá obsequios
de esa tierra dividida por ríos,
de ese pueblo de gente alta y de piel suave,
temido en todas partes por sus conquistas y destrucción.
Llevarán obsequios a Jerusalén,[c]
donde habita el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales.

A Prophecy Against Cush
18 Woe(A) to the land of whirring wings[a]
along the rivers of Cush,[b](B)
2 which sends envoys(C) by sea
in papyrus(D) boats over the water.
Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,(E)
to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive(F) nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers.(G)
3 All you people of the world,(H)
you who live on the earth,
when a banner(I) is raised on the mountains,
you will see it,
and when a trumpet(J) sounds,
you will hear it.
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet(K) and will look on from my dwelling place,(L)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(M)
like a cloud of dew(N) in the heat of harvest.”
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(O) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(P)
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(Q)
and to the wild animals;(R)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
7 At that time gifts(S) will be brought to the Lord Almighty
from a people tall and smooth-skinned,(T)
from a people feared(U) far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers(V)—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.(W)

18 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
