Denn Gaza muß verlassen und Askalon wüst werden; Asdod soll am Mittag vertrieben und Ekron ausgewurzelt werden.
Porque Gaza será desamparada, y Ascalón asolada: saquearán a Asdod en el medio día, y Ecrón será desarraigada.
Porque Gaza quedará abandonada y Ascalón desolada; expulsarán a Asdod al mediodía y Ecrón será arrancada de raíz.
Car Gaza sera délaissée, Askalon sera réduite en désert, Asdod sera chassée en plein midi, Ekron sera déracinée.
Perciocchè Gaza sarà abbandonata, ed Aschelon sarà messa in desolazione; Asdod sarà scacciata in pien mezzodì, ed Ecron sarà diradicato.
Porque Gaza será desamparada, e Ascalom assolada; Asdode ao meio dia será expelida, e Ecrom será desarraigada.
迦薩 必遭遺棄 , 亞實基倫 必然荒涼; 亞實突 人必在正午被趕出, 以革倫 也要連根拔除 。
