1 “Haway (Alas/Woe!) To the sarar (rebellious) banayam (children)”, naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (), “who ishah (make) itzah (counsel), but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my rawach (spirit / wind), that they may sapah (add) chataah (sin) to chataah (sin),
2 Who set out to yarad (go) down into Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and have not shaal (asked) my advice; to izaz (strengthen) themselves in the maiwaz (stronghold / fortress / protection) of Paraih (Pharaoh), and to take chasah (refuge) in the tzal (shadow) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt)!
3 Therefore the maiwaz (stronghold / fortress / protection) of Paraih (Pharaoh) will be your bashath (shame), and the refuge in the tzal (shadow) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) your kalamah (confusion).
4 For their shar (prince / ruler) are at Tzain (Zoan), and their malaak (angel / messenger of Yah) have nagai (come) to Chanas (Hanes).
5 They shall all be bashath (ashamed) because of a im (nation / people) that can't yail (profit) them, that are not a izar (help) nor yail (profit), but a bashath (shame), and also a charapah (reproach).”
6 The mashaa (burden) of the animals of the nagab (south). Through the aratz (Earth/land) of tzarah (trouble) and tzawaq (anguish), of the lioness and the layash (lion), the apaih (viper) and sharap (fiery) iwap (flying) serpent, they nashaa (lift) their riches on the kathap (shoulders) of iyar (young) donkeys, and their awatzar (treasures) on the humps of gamalayam (camels), to an unprofitable im (nation / people).
7 For Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) yaizaraw (helps) in habal (vain), and to no rayaq (purpose); therefore have I qaraa (called) her rahab (rahab) who shabath (shabath / rest) still.
8 Now bawaa (bring), kathab (write) it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a sapar (book / scribed document), that it may be for the yawam (day) to acharawan (come) iwalam (eternity) and yawam (day).
9 For it is a rebellious im (nation / people), kachash (lying) banayam (children), banayam (children) who abah (be willing / desire) not shamai (hearken / hear) the thawarah (instruction) of Yahawah ();
10 Who amar (said) the seers, “Don't raah (see / saw)!” And to the chazayam (prophets), “Don't chazah (prophesy) to us nakachah (right) things. Dabar (word / matter) us pleasant things. Chazah (prophesy) mahathalawath (deceits).
11 Sawar (get) out of the darak (way). Natah (turn) aside from the arach (path). Cause the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel) to shabath (shabath / rest) from panayam (face) us.”
12 Therefore thus amar (said) the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel), “Because you maas (despise) this dabar (word / matter), and batach (trust) in ishaq (oppression) and lawaz (perverseness), and shain (rely) on it;
13 Therefore this iwan (guilt/iniquity) shall be to you like a paratz (breach) napal (fall / be cast down) to fall, baih (swelling) out in a shagab (high) chawamah (wall), whose shabar (breaking) bawaa (bring) pathaawam (suddenly) in an pathai (instant).
14 He will shabar (break) it as a yawatzarayam (potters) nabal (vessel) is shabar (broken), breaking it in kathath (pieces) without chamal (sparing), so that there won't be matzaa (found) among the broken piece a piece good enough to chathah (take) ash (fire) from the yaqad (hearth), or to dip up mayam (Waters) out of the cistern.”
15 For thus amar (spoke) the Adanay () Yahawah (), the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel), “You will be yashai (salvation) in shawabah (returning) and nachath (rest). Your gabawarah (strength) will be in shaqat (quietness) and in batachah (confidence).” You refused,
16 But you amar (said), “No, for we will nawas (flee) on sawas (horses);” therefore you will nawas (flee); and, “We will rakab (ride) on the qal (swift);” therefore those who radap (pursue) you will be qalal (swift).
17 Achad (one) alap (thousand) will flee at the threat of achad (one). At the threat of chamash (five), you will nawas (flee) until you are yathar (left) like a tharan (beacon) on the raash (head) of a har (mountain), and like a nas (banner) on a gabaih (hill).
18 Therefore Yahawah () will chakah (wait), that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be rawam (will lift up), that he may have racham (show mercy / love) on you, for Yahawah () is a Alahayam () of mashapat (justice). Ashar (who/that) are all those who chakah (wait) for him.
19 For the im (nation / people) will yashab (inhabit/dwell) in Tzayawan (Zion) at Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem). You will bakah (weep) no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the qawal (sound / voice) of your qawal (sound / voice). When he shamai (hearken / hear) you, he will inah (answer / respond) you.
20 Though the Adanay () may nathan (give) you the lacham (bread) of adversity and the mayam (Waters) of lachatz (affliction), yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your iyan (eye) will raah (see) your teachers;
21 And when you aman (believe / have faith) to the right hand, and when you shamaal (turn) to the left, your azan (ear) will shamai (hearken / hear) a dabar (word / matter) achar (other) you, amar (said), “This is the darak (way). Yalak (walk) in it.”
22 You shall tamaa (defile) the tzapaway (overlaying) of your engraved pasayalay (images) of kasap (silver), and the plating of your masakah (molten) images of zahab (gold). You shall zarah (cast) them away as an dawah (unclean) thing. You shall amar (said) it, “yatzaa (go out / come out) away!”
23 He will nathan (give) the matar (rain) for your zarai (seed), with which you will zarai (sow) the adamah (ground); and lacham (bread) of the thabawaah (increase) of the adamah (ground) will be rich and plentiful. In that yawam (day), your livestock will raih (feed) in rachab (large) kar (pastures).
24 The alapayam (oxen) likewise and the iyar (young) donkeys that ibad (servant) the adamah (ground) will akal (eat) savory balayal (provender), which has been zarah (winnowed) with the rachath (shovel) and with the fork.
25 There shall be brooks and yabalay (streams) of mayam (Waters) on every gabah (lofty) har (mountain) and on every nashaa (lift) gabaih (hill) in the yawam (day) of the rab (great) harag (kill), when the magadalayam (towers) napal (fall / be cast down).
26 Moreover the awar (light) of the labanah (moon) will be like the awar (light) of the chamah (sun), and the awar (light) of the chamah (sun) will be shabai (seven) times brighter, like the awar (light) of shabai (seven) yamayam (days), in the yawam (day) that Yahawah () chabash (binds) up the fracture of his im (nation / people), and rapaa (heals) the makah (wound) they were struck with.
27 Behold, the sham (name) of Yahawah () bawaa (come) from marachaq (far) bair (away), burning with his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), and in thick rising kabad (smoke). His shapah (lips) are malaa (full) of zaim (indignation), and his lashawan (tongue / language) is as a akal (eat) ash (fire).
28 His rawach (spirit / wind) is as an shatap (overflowing) nachal (stream / river) that reaches even to the tzawaar (neck), to nawap (sift) the gawayam (heathen) with the napah (sieve) of destruction; and a rasan (bridle) that leads to ruin will be in the lachayay (jaws) of the imayam (peoples).
29 You will have a shayar (song), as in the layal (night) when a qadash (set apart / make holy) chag (feast/festival) is qadash (set apart / make holy); and shamachah (gladness) of labab (heart), as when one halak (move) with a flute to bawaa (come) to Yahawah () har (mountain), to Yashar-Al (Israel's) tzawar (rock).
30 Yahawah () will cause his hawad (glorious) qawal (sound / voice) to be shamai (hearken / hear), and will show the descent of his zarawai (arm), with the zaip (indignation) of his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), and the lahab (flame) of a akal (eat) ash (fire), with a blast, zaram (storm), and hailstones.
31 For through the qawal (sound / voice) of Yahawah () the Ashawar (Assyrian) will be chathath (dismayed). He will nakah (strike) him with his shabat (rod).
32 Kal (every) stroke of the matah (staff / rod / tribe) of punishment, which Yahawah () will nawach (lay) on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and kanarawath (harps). He will lacham (fight) with them in malachamawath (battles), brandishing weapons.
33 For his Thapathah (burning) place has long been ready. Yes, for the malak (king) it is kawan (prepared). He has made its pyre imaq (deep) and rachab (large) with ash (fire) and much itz (wood). Yahawah () nashamah (breathing thing), like a nachal (stream / river) of sulfur, bair (kindles) it.
