1 Haway (Alas/Woe!) To her who is rebellious and gaal (polluted), the yanah (oppressing) iyar (city)!
2 She didn't shamai (hearken / hear) the qawal (sound / voice). She didn't laqach (take / seize) mawasar (correction). She didn't batach (trust) in Yahawah (). She didn't qarab (come close) near to her Alahayam ().
3 Her shar (prince / ruler) in the qarab (among / near) of her are shaag (roaring) arayawath (lions). Her shapat (judge / judgement) are irab (evening) wolves. They leave nothing until the next baqar (morning).
4 Her nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) are arrogant and bagadawath (treacherous) anashay (people). Her kahan (priest) have chalal (profaned) the qadash (set apart / make holy). They have chamas (done) violence to the thawarah (Torah / Instruction).
5 Yahawah (), in the qarab (among / near) of her, is tzadayaq (righteous). He will ishah (make) no wrong. Every baqar (morning) he nathan (give) his mashapat (justice) to awar (light). He doesn't idar (fail), but the iwal (unjust) yadai (know) no bashath (shame).
6 I have karath (cut) off gawayam (heathen). Their battlements are shamam (desolate). I have made their chawatz (streets) charab (waste), so that no ibar (pass over/through) passes by. Their iyar (cities) are tzadah (destroyed), so that there is no ayash (man / husband), so that there is no yashab (inhabit/dwell).
7 I amar (said), “Just yaraa (fear / be afraid) me. Laqach (take / seize) mawasar (correction), so that her dwelling won't be karath (cut) off, according to paqad (visit) that I have appointed concerning her.” But they shakam (rose) early and shachath (corrupted) all their ilayalah (doings).
8 “Therefore chakah (wait) for me”, naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (), “until the yawam (day) that I qawam (rise up) up to the id (until / as far as), for my mashapat (determination) is to asap (gather) the gawayam (nations), that I may qabatz (assemble) the mamalakawath (kingdoms), to shapak (pour) on them my zaim (indignation), even all my charawan (fierce) ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), for all the aratz (Earth/land) will be akal (eat) with the ash (fire) of my qanaah (jealousy).
9 For then I will barar (purify) the shapah (lips) of the imayam (peoples), that they may all qaraa (called) on the sham (name) of Yahawah (), to ibad (servant) him shoulder to shakam (shoulder).
10 From ibar (beyond) the naharay (rivers) of Kawash (Cush), my worshipers, even the banath (daughter) of my pawatz (dispersed) people, will yabal (bring) my manachah (offering).
11 In that yawam (day) you will not be disappointed for all your ilayalah (doings), in which you have pashai (transgressed) against me; for then I will sawar (take) away out of the qarab (among / near) of you your gaawah (proudly) exulting yasap (ones), and you will no more be gabah (haughty) in my qadash (set apart / make holy) har (mountain).
12 But I will shaar (leave) in the qarab (among / near) of you an inay (afflicted) and dal (poor) im (nation / people), and they will take chasah (refuge) in the sham (name) of Yahawah ().
13 The shaarayath (remnant) of Yashar-Al (Israel) will not ishah (make) iwal (iniquity), nor dabar (word / matter) kazab (lies), neither will a tharamah (deceitful) lashawan (tongue / language) be matzaa (found) in their pah (mouth), for they will raih (feed) and rabatz (lie) down, and no one will make them charad (afraid).”
14 Ranan (sing), banath (daughter) of Tzayawan (Zion)! Rawai (shout), Yashar-Al (Israel)! Be shamach (glad) and ilaz (rejoice) with all your lab (heart), banath (daughter) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem).
15 Yahawah () has sawar (taken) away your mashapat (judgments). He has thrown out your ayab (enemy). The malak (king) of Yashar-Al (Israel), Yahawah (), is in the qarab (among / near) of you. You will not be afraid of rai (evil) any more.
16 In that yawam (day), it will be amar (said) to Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), “Don't be yaraa (fear / be afraid), Tzayawan (Zion). Don't let your yad (hand) be rapah (weak).”
17 Yahawah (), your Alahayam (), is in the qarab (among / near) of you, a gabawar (mighty) one who will yashai (salvation). He will shawash (rejoice) over you with shamachah (joy). He will calm you in his ahabah (love). He will gayal (rejoice) over you with ranah (singing).
18 I will remove those who yagah (grieve) about the mawaid (Feast/Holy Day) feasts from you. They are a mashaath (burden) and a charapah (reproach) to you.
19 Behold, at that ith (time) I will ishah (make) with all those who inah (answer / respond) you, and I will yashai (salvation) those who are lame, and qabatz (gather) those who were nadach (driven) away. I will shawam (place / establish / appoint) them thahalah (praise) and honor, whose bashath (shame) has been in all the aratz (Earth/land).
20 At that ith (time) will I bawaa (come) you in, and at that ith (time) will I qabatz (gather) you; for I will nathan (give) you honor and thahalah (praise) among all the imay (peoples) of the aratz (Earth/land), when I shawab (turn back / repent) your fortunes before your iyan (eye), amar (spoke) Yahawah ().
