1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest of it: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] towards the LORD.
1 CARGA de la palabra de Jehová contra tierra de Hadrach, y de Damasco su reposo: porque á Jehová están vueltos los ojos de los hombres, y de todas las tribus de Israel.
2 And Hamath also shall border by it; Tyre and Zidon, though it be very wise.
2 Y también Hamath tendrá término en ella; Tiro y Sidón, aunque muy sabia sea.
3 And Tyre built herself a strong hold, and amassed silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
3 Bien que Tiro se edificó fortaleza, y amontonó plata como polvo, y oro como lodo de las calles,
4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
4 He aquí, el Señor la empobrecerá, y herirá en la mar su fortaleza, y ella será consumida de fuego.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it] , and fear; Gaza also [shall see it] , and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
5 Ascalón verá, y temerá; Gaza también, y se dolerá en gran manera: asimismo Ecrón, porque su esperanza será confundida; y de Gaza perecerá el rey, y Ascalón no será habitada.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
6 Y habitará en Asdod un extranjero, y yo talaré la soberbia de los Palestinos;
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
7 Y quitaré sus sangres de su boca, y sus abominaciones de sus dientes, y quedarán ellos también para nuestro Dios, y serán como capitanes en Judá, y Ecrón como el Jebuseo.
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with my eyes.
8 Y seré real de ejército á mi casa, á causa del que va y del que viene: y no pasará más sobre ellos angustiador; porque ahora miré con mis ojos.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh to thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
9 Alégrate mucho, hija de Sión; da voces de júbilo, hija de Jerusalem: he aquí, tu rey vendrá á ti, justo y salvador, humilde, y cabalgando sobre un asno, así sobre un pollino hijo de asna.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
10 Y de Ephraim destruiré los carros, y los caballos de Jerusalem; y los arcos de guerra serán quebrados: y hablará paz á las gentes; y su señorío será de mar á mar, y desde el río hasta los fines de la tierra.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit in which [is] no water.
11 Y tú también por la sangre de tu pacto serás salva; yo he sacado tus presos del aljibe en que no hay agua.
12 Turn ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare [that] I will render double to thee;
12 Tornaos á la fortaleza, oh presos de esperanza: hoy también os anuncio que os daré doblado.
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
13 Porque entesado he para mí á Judá [como] arco, henchí á Ephraim; y despertaré tus hijos, oh Sión, contra tus hijos, oh Grecia, y te pondré como espada de valiente.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
14 Y Jehová será visto sobre ellos, y su dardo saldrá como relámpago: y el Señor Jehová tocará trompeta, é irá como torbellinos del austro.
15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.
15 Jehová de los ejércitos los amparará, y ellos devorarán, y sujetarán á las piedras de la honda, y beberán, y harán estrépito como [tomados] del vino; y se llenarán como cuenco, ó como los lados del altar.
16 And the LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people: for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
16 Y los salvará en aquel día Jehová su Dios como á rebaño de su pueblo: porque serán engrandecidos en su tierra como piedras de corona.
17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
17 Porque ¡cuánta es su bondad, y cuánta su hermosura! El trigo alegrará á los mancebos, y el vino á las doncellas.

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).
The words are these: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Chapter XXXVI — Different modes of prophecy But when you hear the utterances of the prophets spoken as it were personally, you must not …
… behold, thy King shall come unto thee, just and the Saviour; Himself poor, and mounting an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass: and His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth." How this was done, when the Lord Christ on His journey used a beast of …

Some, again, have a prophetic sense, and of these some are in the future tense: for instance, He shall come openly, and this from Zechariah, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, and this from Micah, Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
