Isaiah 17
American Standard Version
17 The [a]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, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 3 And the fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom [b]from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim. 6 Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the [c]shaking of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel. 7 In that day shall men look unto their Maker, and their eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. 8 And they shall not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they have respect to that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images. 9 In that day shall their strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation. 10 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy [d]strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with [e]strange slips. 11 In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom; but the harvest [f]fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Ah, the [g]uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters! 13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke [h]them, and [i]they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm. 14 At eventide, behold, terror; and before the morning [j]they are not. This is the portion of them that despoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

Proclamation Against Syria and Israel
17 The (A)burden[a] against Damascus.
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.
2 [b]The cities of (B)Aroer are forsaken;
They will be for flocks
Which lie down, and (C)no one will make them afraid.
3 (D)The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
4 “In that day it shall come to pass
That the glory of Jacob will [c]wane,
And (E)the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
5 (F)It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
6 (G)Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the Lord God of Israel.
7 In that day a man will (H)look to his Maker,
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 He will not look to the altars,
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his (I)fingers have made,
Nor the [d]wooden images nor the incense altars.
9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken [e]bough
And [f]an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten (J)the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your [g]stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise (K)like the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will (L)rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And (M)be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.

Isaias 17
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
17 Ang hula tungkol sa Damasco. Narito, ang Damasco ay naalis sa pagkabayan, at magiging isang buntong ginto.
2 Ang mga bayan ng Aroer ay napabayaan: yao'y magiging sa mga kawan, na hihiga, at walang tatakot.
3 Ang moog sa kuta naman ay mawawala sa Ephraim, at mawawalan ng kaharian ang Damasco, at ang nalabi sa Siria; sila'y magiging gaya ng kaluwalhatian ng mga anak ni Israel, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
4 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na ang kaluwalhatian ng Jacob ay mangliliit, at ang katabaan ng kaniyang laman ay mangangayayat.
5 At mangyayari na gaya ng pamumulot ng mangaani ng nakatayong trigo, at ng panggapas ng kaniyang kamay ng mga uhay; oo, magiging gaya ng pamumulot ng mga uhay sa libis ng Ephraim.
6 Gayon ma'y maiiwan doon ang mga pinulot, gaya ng pagugog sa puno ng olibo na dalawa o tatlong bunga ay naiiwan sa dulo ng kataastaasang sanga, apat o lima sa kaduluduluhang mga sanga ng mabungang punong kahoy, sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel.
7 Sa araw na yaon ay titingin ang mga tao sa Maylalang sa kanila, ang kanilang mga mata ay magkakaroon ng pitagan sa Banal ng Israel.
8 At sila'y hindi titingin sa mga dambana, na gawa ng kanilang mga kamay, o magkakaroon man sila ng pitagan sa ginawa ng kanilang mga daliri, maging sa mga Asera, o sa mga larawang araw.
9 Sa araw na yao'y ang kanilang mga matibay na bayan ay magiging gaya ng mga dakong pinabayaan sa gubat, at sa taluktok ng bundok, na pinabayaan sa harap ng angkan ni Israel: at magiging sira.
10 Sapagka't iyong nilimot ang Dios ng inyong kaligtasan, at hindi mo inalaala ang malaking bato ng iyong kalakasan: kaya't nagtatanim ka ng mga maligayang pananim, at iyong ibinabaon ang punla ng iba:
11 Sa araw ng iyong pagtatanim ay iyong binabakuran, at sa kinaumagahan ay iyong pinamumulaklak ang iyong binhi; nguni't nawawalan ng ani sa araw ng kalumbayan at sa lubhang kahapisan.
12 Ah, ang kaingay ng maraming bayan, na nagsisiugong na gaya ng ugong ng mga dagat; at ang daluhong ng mga bansa, na nagsisiugong na parang ugong ng bugso ng tubig!
13 Ang mga bansa ay magsisihugos na parang agos ng maraming tubig nguni't sila'y sasawayin niya, at magsisitakas sa malayo, at papaspasin na gaya ng ipa sa mga bundok sa harap ng hangin, at gaya ng ipoipong alabok sa harap ng bagyo.
14 Sa gabi ay narito ang kakilabutan; at bago dumating ang umaga ay wala na sila. Ito ang bahagi nila na nagsisisamsam sa atin, at ang palad nila na nangagnanakaw sa atin.

A Prophecy Against Damascus
17 A prophecy(A) against Damascus:(B)
“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins.(C)
2 The cities of Aroer(D) will be deserted
and left to flocks,(E) which will lie down,(F)
with no one to make them afraid.(G)
3 The fortified(H) city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory(I) of the Israelites,”(J)
declares the Lord Almighty.
4 “In that day(K) the glory(L) of Jacob will fade;
the fat of his body will waste(M) away.
5 It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
gathering(N) the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain(O)
in the Valley of Rephaim.(P)
6 Yet some gleanings will remain,(Q)
as when an olive tree is beaten,(R)
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 In that day(S) people will look(T) to their Maker(U)
and turn their eyes to the Holy One(V) of Israel.
8 They will not look to the altars,(W)
the work of their hands,(X)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](Y)
and the incense altars their fingers(Z) have made.
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(AA) And all will be desolation.
10 You have forgotten(AB) God your Savior;(AC)
you have not remembered the Rock,(AD) your fortress.(AE)
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,(AF)
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(AG) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(AH) will be as nothing(AI)
in the day of disease and incurable(AJ) pain.(AK)
12 Woe to the many nations that rage(AL)—
they rage like the raging sea!(AM)
Woe to the peoples who roar(AN)—
they roar like the roaring of great waters!(AO)
13 Although the peoples roar(AP) like the roar of surging waters,
when he rebukes(AQ) them they flee(AR) far away,
driven before the wind like chaff(AS) on the hills,
like tumbleweed before a gale.(AT)
14 In the evening, sudden(AU) terror!(AV)
Before the morning, they are gone!(AW)
This is the portion of those who loot us,
the lot of those who plunder us.
