1 The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it hath been a heap — a ruin.
oracle Damascus behold Damascus to turn aside: depart from city and to be heap ruin
2 Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.
to leave: forsake city Aroer to/for flock to be and to stretch and nothing to tremble
3 And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
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
4 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob, And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean.
and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to languish glory Jacob and fatness flesh his to starve
5 And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,
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
6 And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of an olive, Two — three berries on the top of a branch, Four — five on the fruitful boughs, The affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel!
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
7 In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,
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
8 And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not — the shrines and the images.
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
9 In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation.
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
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And the rock of thy strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou plantest plants of pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest it,
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
11 In the day thy plant thou causest to become great, And in the morning thy seed makest to flourish, A heap [is] the harvest in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.
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
12 Woe [to] the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of seas they sound; And [to] the wasting of nations, As the wasting of mighty waters they are wasted.
woe! crowd people many like/as to roar sea to roar [emph?] and roar people like/as roar water mighty to crash [emph?]
13 Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.
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
14 At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
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
