Domsord över Israels fiender
9 (A) En profetia, Herrens ord mot Ha-draks land.[a] I Damaskus ska det slå ner, för Herren har sitt öga på andra människor såväl som på Israels alla stammar. 2 (B) Det slår också ner i det angränsande Hamat, likaså i Tyrus och Sidon där man är så vis. 3 Tyrus byggde sig ett fäste och samlade silver som stoft och guld som smuts på gatorna. 4 Men se, Herren ska göra henne fattig och störta ner hennes välde i havet, och hon ska förtäras av eld.
5 (C) Ashkelon ska se det och frukta,
Gaza ska darra av ångest
liksom Ekron,
för deras hopp kommer på skam.
Gaza mister sin kung,
och i Ashkelon
kommer ingen att bo.
6 Ett blandfolk ska bo i Ashdod,
och filisteernas stolthet
ska jag utrota.
7 (D) Men när jag ryckt blodmaten
ur deras mun
och det vidriga från deras tänder,
då ska också de få bli kvar
åt vår Gud.
De ska bli som stamfurstar i Juda,
och Ekrons folk
ska bli som jebusiterna[b].
8 (E) Jag ska slå upp mitt läger
omkring mitt hus
mot härar
och mot den som kommer och går.
Ingen förtryckare
ska drabba dem längre,
för jag vaktar nu med öppna ögon.
Sions kung kommer
9 (F) Fröjda dig stort, dotter Sion!
Jubla, dotter Jerusalem!
Se, din kung kommer till dig,
rättfärdig och segerrik är han.
Han kommer ödmjuk,
ridande på en åsna[c],
på en åsninnas föl.
10 (G) Jag ska ta bort vagnar ur Efraim
och hästar ur Jerusalem.
Stridens bågar ska bort,
och han ska tala frid
till hednafolken.
Hans välde ska nå från hav till hav,
och från floden till jordens ändar.
Befrielse genom förbundsblodet
11 (H) Och för dig ska jag
på grund av ditt förbundsblod
befria dina fångar
från den vattenlösa hålan.
12 (I) Vänd åter till ert fäste,
ni fångar som har ett hopp.
Ja, i dag förkunnar jag för er
att jag ska ge er dubbelt igen.
13 (J) För jag ska spänna Juda
som min båge
och lägga Efraim
som pil på den,
jag ska väcka upp dina söner, Sion,
mot dina söner, Grekland[d],
och göra dig lik en hjältes svärd.
14 Ja, Herren ska uppenbara sig
över dem
och hans pil ska fara ut
som en blixt.
Herren Gud ska blåsa i basunen
och dra fram i söderns stormar.
15 (K) Herren Sebaot ska beskydda dem.
De ska sluka sina fiender
och trampa på slungstenar[e].
De ska dricka och vråla
som av vin,[f]
de ska fyllas som en offerskål,
som altarets hörn.
16 (L) Herren deras Gud
ska frälsa dem på den dagen,
för de är hans hjord, hans folk.
Som ädelstenar i en krona
ska de stråla över hans land.
17 (M) Hur stor är inte hans godhet,
hur stor är inte hans skönhet!
Unga män ska blomstra av brödsäd
och unga kvinnor av vin.

9 Detta är en utsaga som innehåller HERRENS ord över Hadraks land; också i Damaskus skall den slå ned -- ty HERREN har sitt öga på andra människor såväl som på Israels alla stammar.
2 Den drabbar ock Hamat, som gränsar därintill, så ock Tyrus och Sion, där man är så vis.
3 Tyrus byggde sig ett fäste; hon hopade silver såsom stoft och guld såsom orenlighet på gatan.
4 Men se, Herren skall åter göra henne fattig, han skall bryta hennes murar ned i havet, och hon själv skall förtäras av eld.
5 Askelon må se det med fruktan, och Gasa med stor bävan, så ock Ekron, ty dess hopp skall komma på skam. Gasa mister sin konung, Askelon bliver en obebodd plats
6 Asdod skall bebos av en vanbördig hop; så skall jag utrota filistéernas stolthet.
7 Men när jag har ryckt blodmaten ur deras mun och styggelserna undan deras tänder då skall också av dem bliva en kvarleva åt vår Gud, de skola bliva såsom stamfurstar i Juda, och Ekrons folk skall bliva såsom jebuséerna.
8 Och jag skall slå upp mitt läger till ett värn för mitt hus, mot härar som komma eller gå, och ej mer skall någon plågare komma över dem; ty jag vaktar nu med öppna ögon.
9 Fröjda dig storligen, du dotter Sion; höj jubelrop, du dotter Jerusalem. Se, din konung kommer till dig; rättfärdig och segerrik är han. Han kommer fattig, ridande på en åsna, på en åsninnas fåle.
10 Så skall jag utrota vagnar Efraim och hästar ur Jerusalem; ja, stridens bågar skola utrotas, och han skall tala frid till folken. Och hans herradöme skall nå från hav till hav, och ifrån floden intill jordens ändar.
11 För ditt förbundsblods skull vill jag ock släppa dina fångar fria ur gropen där intet vatten finnes.
12 Så vänden då åter till edert fäste, I fångar som nu haven ett hopp. Ja, det vare eder förkunnat i dag att jag vill giva eder dubbelt igen.
13 Ty jag skall spänna Juda såsom min båge och lägga Efraim såsom pil på den, och dina söner, du Sion, skall jag svänga såsom spjut mot dina söner, du Javan, och göra dig lik en hjältes svärd.
14 Ja, HERREN skall uppenbara sig i höjden, och såsom en ljungeld skall hans pil fara ut; Herren, HERREN skall stöta i basunen, och med sunnanstormar skall han draga fram.
15 HERREN Sebaot, han skall beskärma dem; de skola uppsluka sina fiender och trampa deras slungstenar under fötterna; under stridslarm skola de svälja sina fiender såsom vin, till dess de själva äro så fulla av blod som offerskålar och altarhörn.
16 Och HERREN, deras Gud, skall på den tiden giva dem seger, ty de äro ju det folk som han har till sin hjord. Ja, ädelstenar äro de i en krona, strålande över hans land.
17 Huru stor bliver icke deras lycka, huru stor deras härlighet! Av deras säd skola ynglingar blomstra upp, och jungfrur av deras vin.

Judgment against Israel’s Enemies
9 This is the message[a] from the Lord against the land of Aram[b] and the city of Damascus, for the eyes of humanity, including all the tribes of Israel, are on the Lord.
2 Doom is certain for Hamath,
near Damascus,
and for the cities of Tyre and Sidon,
though they are so clever.
3 Tyre has built a strong fortress
and has made silver and gold
as plentiful as dust in the streets!
4 But now the Lord will strip away Tyre’s possessions
and hurl its fortifications into the sea,
and it will be burned to the ground.
5 The city of Ashkelon will see Tyre fall
and will be filled with fear.
Gaza will shake with terror,
as will Ekron, for their hopes will be dashed.
Gaza’s king will be killed,
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 Foreigners will occupy the city of Ashdod.
I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will grab the bloody meat from their mouths
and snatch the detestable sacrifices from their teeth.
Then the surviving Philistines will worship our God
and become like a clan in Judah.[c]
The Philistines of Ekron will join my people,
as the ancient Jebusites once did.
8 I will guard my Temple
and protect it from invading armies.
I am watching closely to ensure
that no more foreign oppressors overrun my people’s land.
Zion’s Coming King
9 Rejoice, O people of Zion![d]
Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is coming to you.
He is righteous and victorious,[e]
yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—
riding on a donkey’s colt.
10 I will remove the battle chariots from Israel[f]
and the warhorses from Jerusalem.
I will destroy all the weapons used in battle,
and your king will bring peace to the nations.
His realm will stretch from sea to sea
and from the Euphrates River[g] to the ends of the earth.[h]
11 Because of the covenant I made with you,
sealed with blood,
I will free your prisoners
from death in a waterless dungeon.
12 Come back to the place of safety,
all you prisoners who still have hope!
I promise this very day
that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles.
13 Judah is my bow,
and Israel is my arrow.
Jerusalem[i] is my sword,
and like a warrior, I will brandish it against the Greeks.[j]
14 The Lord will appear above his people;
his arrows will fly like lightning!
The Sovereign Lord will sound the ram’s horn
and attack like a whirlwind from the southern desert.
15 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will protect his people,
and they will defeat their enemies by hurling great stones.
They will shout in battle as though drunk with wine.
They will be filled with blood like a bowl,
drenched with blood like the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will rescue his people,
just as a shepherd rescues his sheep.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.
17 How wonderful and beautiful they will be!
The young men will thrive on abundant grain,
and the young women will flourish on new wine.

Israel's Enemies Will Be Punished
9 (A)(B) This is a message
from the Lord:
His eyes are on everyone,
especially the tribes
of Israel.[a]
So he pronounces judgment
against the cities
of Hadrach and Damascus.[b]
2 Judgment will also fall
on the nearby city
of Hamath,
as well as on Tyre and Sidon,[c]
whose people are clever.
3 Tyre has built a fortress
and piled up silver and gold,
as though they were dust
or mud from the streets.
4 Now the Lord will punish Tyre
with poverty;
he will sink its ships
and send it up in flames.
5 (C) Both Ashkelon and Gaza
will tremble with fear;
Ekron will lose all hope.
Gaza's king will be killed,
and Ashkelon emptied
of its people.
6 A mob of half-breeds
will settle in Ashdod,[d]
and the Lord himself
will rob Philistia of pride.
7 No longer will the Philistines
eat meat with blood in it
or any unclean food.[e]
They will become part
of the people of our God
from the tribe of Judah.
And God will accept
the people of Ekron,
as he did the Jebusites.[f]
8 God says, “I will stand guard
to protect my temple from those
who come to attack.
I know what's happening,
and no one will mistreat
my people ever again.”
The Lord Tells about the Coming King
9 (D) Everyone in Jerusalem,
celebrate and shout!
Your king has won a victory,
and he is coming to you.
He is humble
and rides on a donkey;
he comes on the colt
of a donkey.
10 (E) I, the Lord, will take away
war chariots and horses
from Israel[g] and Jerusalem.
Bows that were made for battle
will be broken.
I will bring peace to nations,
and your king will rule
from sea to sea.
His kingdom will reach
from the Euphrates River
across the earth.
The Lord Promises To Rescue Captives
11 (F) When I made a sacred agreement
with you, my people,
we sealed it with blood.[h]
Now some of you are captives
in waterless pits,
but I will come to your rescue
12 and offer you hope.
Return to your fortress,
because today I will reward you
with twice what you had.
13 I will use Judah as my bow
and Israel[i] as my arrow.
I will take the people of Zion
as my sword
and attack the Greeks.
The Lord Will Protect His People
14 Like a cloud, the Lord God
will appear over his people,
and his arrows will flash
like lightning.
God will sound his trumpet
and attack in a whirlwind
from the south.
15 The Lord All-Powerful
will protect his people,
and they will trample down
the sharpshooters
and their slingshots.
They will drink and get rowdy;
they will be as full as a bowl
at the time of sacrifice.
16 The Lord God will save them
on that day,
because they are his people,
and they will shine on his land
like jewels in a crown.
17 How lovely they will be.
Young people will grow there
like grain in a field
or grapes in a vineyard.

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
9 A prophecy:(A)
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
and will come to rest on Damascus(B)—
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord—[a]
2 and on Hamath(C) too, which borders on it,
and on Tyre(D) and Sidon,(E) though they are very skillful.
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.(F)
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy(G) her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.(H)
5 Ashkelon(I) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(J) to the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(K)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(L)
8 But I will encamp(M) at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.(N)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.(O)
The Coming of Zion’s King
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!(P)
Shout,(Q) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,(R)
righteous and victorious,(S)
lowly and riding on a donkey,(T)
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(U)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.(V)
He will proclaim peace(W) to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.(X)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(Y) with you,
I will free your prisoners(Z) from the waterless pit.(AA)
12 Return to your fortress,(AB) you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice(AC) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(AD)
and fill it with Ephraim.(AE)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(AF)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(AG)
The Lord Will Appear
14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(AH)
his arrow will flash like lightning.(AI)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(AJ)
he will march in the storms(AK) of the south,
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(AL) them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.(AM)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(AN)
they will be full like a bowl(AO)
used for sprinkling[c] the corners(AP) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(AQ)
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.(AR)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
