New International Version (NIV)

3I have commanded those I prepared for battle;

I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—

those who rejoice in my triumph.

3I have commanded My consecrated ones,

I have also called for My warriors

Who boast in My eminence,

To execute My anger.

3I have commanded My consecrated ones,

I have even called My mighty warriors,

My proudly exulting ones,

To execute My anger.

3I [the Lord] have commanded My consecrated ones,

I have even called My great warriors,

My proudly exulting ones [the Medes and the Persians who triumph for My honor]—

To execute My anger.

3I have commanded My sanctified ones;

I have even summoned My warriors

to execute My wrath

and exult in My triumph.

3The Lord has commanded the soldiers he prepared for battle.

He has sent for them to carry out his anger against Babylon.

They will be happy when he wins the battle for them.
