1 Qashash (gather) yourselves together, yes, qashash (gather) together, you gaway (heathen / nation) that has no shame,
2 Before the chaq (statute) yalad (birth / begot) when the yawam (day) passes as the matz (chaff), laa (NOT) the charawan (fierce) ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Yahawah () bawaa (come) on you, before the yawam (day) of Yahawah () ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) bawaa (come) on you.
3 Baqash (seek) Yahawah (), all you inaw (humble) of the aratz (Earth/land), who have kept his mashapat (ordinances). Baqash (seek) tzadaq (righteous / just / fair). Baqash (seek) inawah (humility). It awalay (perhaps) be that you will be sathar (hidden) in the yawam (day) of Yahawah () ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting).
4 For Izah (Gaza) will be forsaken, and Ashaqalawan (Ashkelon) a shamamah (desolation). They will garash (drive) out Ashadawad (Ashdod) at noonday, and Iqarawan (Ekron) will be iqar (rooted) up.
5 Haway (Alas/Woe!) To the yashabay (inhabitants) of the yam (sea/waters) chabal (coast), the gaway (heathen / nation) of the Karathay (Cherethites)! The dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () is against you, Kanain (Canaan), the aratz (Earth/land) of the Palashathay (Philistines). I will abad (destroy / perish) you, that there will be no yashab (inhabit/dwell).
6 The yam (sea/waters) chabal (coast) will be pastures, with karath (cut) for raiyam (shepherds) and folds for tzaan (flocks).
7 The chabal (coast) will be for the shaarayath (remnant) of the bayath (house) of Yahawadah (Judah). They will find pasture. In the bathay (houses) of Ashaqalawan (Ashkelon), they will rabatz (lie) down in the irab (evening), for Yahawah (), their Alahayam (), will paqad (visit) them, and shawab (turn back / repent) them.
8 I have shamai (hearken / hear) the charapah (reproach) of Mawaab (Moab), and the insults of the banay (my son) of Imawan (Ammon), with which they have charap (reproached) my im (nation / people), and gadal (magnified) themselves against their gabawal (border/boundary).
9 Therefore as I chay (life), naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel), surely Mawaab (Moab) will be as Sadam (Sodom), and the banay (children) of Imawan (Ammon) as Imarah (Gomorrah), a mamashaq (possession) of charawal (nettles), and salt makarah (pits), and a perpetual shamamah (desolation). The shaarayath (remnant) of my im (nation / people) will plunder them, and the survivors of my gaway (heathen / nation) will nachal (inherit) them.
10 This they will have for their gaawan (pride), because they have charap (reproached) and gadal (magnified) themselves against the im (nation / people) of Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies).
11 Yahawah () will be awesome to them, for he will razah (famish) all the Alahayam () of the aratz (Earth/land). Men will shachah (worship) him, everyone from his maqawam (place), even all the shores of the gawayam (nations).
12 You Cushites also, you will be chalal (killed) by my charab (sword).
13 He will natah (stretch) out his yad (hand) against the tzapawan (north), abad (destroy / perish) Ashawar (Assyria), and will shawam (place / establish / appoint) Nayanawah (Nineveh) a shamamah (desolation), as tzayah (dry) as the madabar (wilderness).
14 Idarayam (herds) will rabatz (lie) down in the thawak (midst) of her, all the animals of the gaway (heathen / nation). Both the pelican and the porcupine will lawan (lodge) in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the chalawan (windows). Charab (desolation) will be in the sap (thresholds), for he has laid bare the arazah (cedar) beams.
15 This is the ilayaz (joyous) iyar (city) that lived carelessly, that amar (said) in her labab (heart), “I am, and there is apas (none) besides me.” How she has become a shamah (desolation), a place for animals to marabatz (lie) down in! Everyone who passes by her will sharaq (hiss), and nawai (shake) their fists.
