1 Саберите се, саберите се, народе немили.
1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
2 Док није изашао суд, и дан прошао као плева, док није дошао на вас љути гнев Господњи, док није дошао на вас дан гнева Господњег.
2 before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.
3 Тражите Господа сви који сте кротки у земљи, који чините шта је наредио; тражите правду, тражите кротост, еда бисте се сакрили на дан гнева Господњег.
3 Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
4 Јер ће се Газа оставити и Аскалон ће опустети; Азот ће се одагнати у подне и Акарон ће се искоренити.
4 For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
5 Тешко онима који живе по бреговима морским, народу херетејском: реч је Господња на вас, Ханане, земљо филистејска, ја ћу те затрти да не буде становника у теби.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! Yahweh’s word is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you until there is no inhabitant.
6 И брегови ће морски бити станови и јаме пастирске и торови за стада.
6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7 И тај ће крај бити остатку дома Јудиног; онде ће пасти; у домовима ће аскалонским легати увече; јер ће их походити Господ Бог њихов и повратити робље њихово.
7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God, will visit them and restore them.
8 Чуо сам руг Моавов и укоре синова Амонових којима ружише мој народ, и раширише се преко међа њихових.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab and the insults of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people and magnified themselves against their border.
9 Зато, тако ја био жив, говори Господ над војскама, Бог Израиљев, Моав ће бити као Содом и синови Амонови као Гомор, место копривама, и сланица и вечна пустош; остатак народа мог оплениће их, и који остану од народа мог наследиће их.
9 Therefore, as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
10 То ће им бити за поноситост њихову; јер ружише народ Господа над војскама и подизаше се на Њ.
10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.
11 Страшан ће им бити Господ, јер ће истребити све богове земаљске, и Њему ће се клањати сваки из свог места, сва острва народна.
11 Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
12 И ви, Етиопљани, бићете побијени мачем мојим.
12 You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
13 И дигнуће руку своју на север, и затрће Асирску, и Ниневију ће опустети да буде сува као пустиња.
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
14 И у њој ће лежати стада, свакојако зверје између народа, и гем и ћук ноћиваће на довратницима њеним; гласом ће певати на прозорима; пустош ће бити на праговима, јер ће се поскидати кедровина.
14 Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
15 Такав ће бити весели град, који седи без бриге, који говори у срцу свом: Ја сам, и осим мене нема другог. Како опусте! Поста ложа зверју! Ко год прође мимо њ звиждаће и махати руком.
15 This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss and shake their fists.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… assemble the nations, and gather together the kingdoms." And again he says, "The Lord will be terrible upon them, and will exterminate all the gods of the earth; and they shall worship Him every man from his place, even all the isles of the nations." And a little after he says, "Then will I turn to the people a tongue, …
