1 Woe to you, you wings of the land of ships, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.

Alas! O land of whirring of wings which [is] from [the] other side of [the] rivers of Cush.

2 He sends messengers by the sea, and paper letters on the water: for swift messengers shall go to a lofty nation, and to a strange and harsh people. Who is beyond it? a nation not looked for, and trodden down.

Which sends on the sea envoys and in vessels of papyrus on [the] surface of [the] waters go - O messengers swift to a nation tall and smooth skinned to a people feared from it and beyond a nation of strength of strength and trampling which they divide rivers land its.

3 Now all the rivers of the land shall be inhabited as an inhabited country; their land shall be as when a signal is raised from a mountain; it shall be audible as the sound of a trumpet.

O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world and [those who] dwell earth when lifts up a standard mountains you will see [it] and just as sounds a trumpet you will hear [it].

4 For thus said the Lord to me, There shall be security in my city, as the light of noonday heat, and it shall be as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest.

For thus he said Yahweh to me (I will remain quiet *Q(k)*) and I will pay attention in place my like heat dazzling with light like a cloud of dew in [the] heat of harvest.

5 Before the reaping time, when the flower has been completely formed, and the unripe grape has put forth its flower and blossomed, then shall he take away the little clusters with pruning-hooks, and shall take away the small branches, and cut them off;

For before harvest when is finished bud[s] and unripe grape[s] ripening it will become blossom and he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives and the tendrils he will remove he will cut away.

6 And he shall leave [them] together to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth: and the fowls of the sky shall be gathered upon them, and all the beasts of the land shall come upon him.

They will be abandoned alike to bird[s] of prey of [the] mountains and to [the] animal[s] of the earth and it will pass [the] summer on it the bird[s] of prey and every animal of the earth on it it will pass [the] winter.

7 In that time shall presents be brought to the Lord of hosts from a people afflicted and peeled, and from a people great from henceforth and for ever; a nation hoping and [yet] trodden down, which is in a part of a river of his land, to the place where is the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Sion.

At the time that it will be brought a gift to Yahweh of hosts a people tall and smooth skinned and from a people feared from it and beyond a nation of - strength of strength and trampling which they divide rivers land its to [the] place of [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [the] mountain of Zion.
