Isaiah 17

1 oracle Damascus behold Damascus to turn aside: depart from city and to be heap ruin

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it has been a heap—a ruin.

2 to leave: forsake city Aroer to/for flock to be and to stretch and nothing to tremble

The cities of Aroer are forsaken, They are for droves, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.

3 and to cease fortification from Ephraim and kingdom from Damascus and remnant Syria like/as glory son: descendant/people Israel to be utterance LORD Hosts

And the fortress has ceased from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the glory of the sons of Israel, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!

4 and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to languish glory Jacob and fatness flesh his to starve

And it has come to pass in that day, The glory of Jacob waxes poor, And the fatness of his flesh waxes lean.

5 and to be like/as to gather harvest standing grain and arm his ear to reap and to be like/as to gather ear in/on/with Valley (of Rephaim) (Valley of) Rephaim

And it has come to pass, As the gathering of the standing grain by the reaper, And his arm reaps the ears, And it has come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the Valley of Rephaim,

6 and to remain in/on/with him gleaning like/as shaking olive two three berry in/on/with head: top top four five in/on/with cleft her be fruitful utterance LORD God Israel

And gleanings have been left in him, As the surrounding of an olive, Two—three berries on the top of a branch, Four—five on the fruitful boughs, A declaration of YHWH, God of Israel!

7 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to gaze [the] man upon to make him and eye his to(wards) holy Israel to see: see

In that day man looks to His Maker, Indeed, his eyes look to the Holy One of Israel,

8 and not to gaze to(wards) [the] altar deed: work hand his and which to make finger his not to see: see and [the] Asherah and [the] pillar

And he does not look to the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made, He does not see—the Asherim and the images.

9 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to be city security his like/as to leave: forsake [the] wood and [the] top which to leave: forsake from face: because son: descendant/people Israel and to be devastation

In that day the cities of his strength are As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It has also been a desolation.

10 for to forget God salvation your and rock security your not to remember upon so to plant plantation pleasantness and branch be a stranger to sow him

Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not remembered the Rock of your strength, Therefore you plant plants of pleasantness, And sow it with a strange shoot,

11 in/on/with day plantation your to grow and in/on/with morning seed your to sprout heap harvest in/on/with day be weak: grieved and pain be incurable

You cause your plant to become great in the day, And make your seed to flourish in the morning, The harvest [is] a heap in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.

12 woe! crowd people many like/as to roar sea to roar [emph?] and roar people like/as roar water mighty to crash [emph?]

Woe [to] the multitude of many peoples, They sound as the sounding of seas; And the roaring of nations, As the roaring of mighty waters [that] make a crashing.

13 people like/as roar water many to crash [emph?] and to rebuke in/on/with him and to flee from distance and to pursue like/as chaff mountain: mount to/for face: before spirit: breath and like/as wheel to/for face: before whirlwind

Nations crash as the roaring of many waters, And He rebuked them, And they fled far off, And were pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a windstorm.

14 to/for time evening and behold terror in/on/with before morning nothing he this portion to plunder us and allotted to/for to plunder us

At evening, behold, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
