1 اضربوا بالبوق في صهيون صوّتوا في جبل قدسي. ليرتعد جميع سكان الارض لان يوم الرب قادم لانه قريب. | 1 Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the day of the Lord cometh, because it is nigh at hand, |
2 يوم ظلام وقتام يوم غيم وضباب مثل الفجر ممتدا على الجبال. شعب كثير وقوي لم يكن نظيره منذ الازل ولا يكون ايضا بعده الى سني دور فدور. | 2 A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it even to the years of generation and generation. |
3 قدامه نار تأكل وخلفه لهيب يحرق. الارض قدامه كجنة عدن وخلفه قفر خرب ولا تكون منه نجاة. | 3 Before the face thereof a devouring fire, and behind it a burning flame: the land is like a garden of pleasure before it, and behind it a desolate wilderness, neither is there any one that can escape it. |
4 كمنظر الخيل منظره ومثل الافراس يركضون. | 4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like horsemen. |
5 كصريف المركبات على رؤوس الجبال يثبون. كزفير لهيب نار تأكل قشا. كقوم اقوياء مصطفين للقتال. | 5 They shall leap like the noise of chariots upon the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, as a strong people prepared to battle. |
6 منه ترتعد الشعوب. كل الوجوه تجمع حمرة. | 6 At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle. |
7 يجرون كابطال. يصعدون السور كرجال الحرب ويمشون كل واحد في طريقه ولا يغيّرون سبلهم. | 7 They shall run like valiant men: like men of war they shall scale the wall: the men shall march every one on his way, and they shall not turn aside from their ranks. |
8 ولا يزاحم بعضهم بعضا يمشون كل واحد في سبيله وبين الاسلحة يقعون ولا ينكسرون. | 8 No one shall press upon his brother: they shall walk every one in his path: yea, and they shall fall through the windows, and shall take no harm. |
9 يتراكضون في المدينة يجرون على السور يصعدون الى البيوت يدخلون من الكوى كاللص. | 9 They shall enter into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses, they shall come in at the windows as a thief. |
10 قدامه ترتعد الارض وترجف السماء. الشمس والقمر يظلمان والنجوم تحجز لمعانها. | 10 At their presence the earth hath trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining. |
11 والرب يعطي صوته امام جيشه. ان عسكره كثير جدا. فان صانع قوله قوي لان يوم الرب عظيم ومخوف جدا فمن يطيقه | 11 And the Lord hath uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can stand it? |
12 ولكن الآن يقول الرب ارجعوا اليّ بكل قلوبكم وبالصوم والبكاء والنوح. | 12 Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning. |
13 ومزقوا قلوبكم لا ثيابكم وارجعوا الى الرب الهكم لانه رؤوف رحيم بطيء الغضب وكثير الرأفة ويندم على الشر. | 13 And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil. |
14 لعله يرجع ويندم فيبقي وراءه بركة تقدمة وسكيبا للرب الهكم | 14 Who knoweth but he will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God? |
15 اضربوا بالبوق في صهيون قدسوا صوما نادوا باعتكاف. | 15 Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, |
16 اجمعوا الشعب قدسوا الجماعة احشدوا الشيوخ اجمعوا الاطفال وراضعي الثدي ليخرج العريس من مخدعه والعروس من حجلتها. | 16 Gather together the people, sanctify the church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones, and them that suck at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his bed, and the bride out of her bride chamber. |
17 ليبك الكهنة خدام الرب بين الرواق والمذبح ويقولوا اشفق يا رب على شعبك ولا تسلم ميراثك للعار حتى تجعلهم الامم مثلا. لماذا يقولون بين الشعوب اين الههم | 17 Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord's ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God? |
18 فيغار الرب لارضه ويرقّ لشعبه. | 18 The Lord hath been zealous for his land, and hath spared his people. |
19 ويجيب الرب ويقول لشعبه هانذا مرسل لكم قمحا ومسطارا وزيتا لتشبعوا منها ولا اجعلكم ايضا عارا بين الامم. | 19 And the Lord answered and said to his people: Behold I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be filled with them: and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations. |
20 والشمالي ابعده عنكم واطرده الى ارض ناشفة ومقفرة مقدمته الى البحر الشرقي وساقته الى البحر الغربي فيصعد نتنه وتطلع زهمته لانه قد تصلّف في عمله | 20 And I will remove far off from you the northern enemy: and I will drive him into a land unpassable, and desert, with his face towards the east sea, and his hinder part towards the utmost sea: and his stench shall ascend, and his rottenness shall go up, because he hath done proudly. |
21 لا تخافي ايتها الارض ابتهجي وافرحي لان الرب يعظّم عمله. | 21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice: for the Lord hath done great things. |
22 لا تخافي يا بهائم الصحراء فان مراعي البرية تنبت لان الاشجار تحمل ثمرها التينة والكرمة تعطيان قوتهما. | 22 Fear not, ye beasts of the fields: for the beautiful places of the wilderness are sprung, for the tree hath brought forth its fruit, the fig tree, and the vine have yielded their strength. |
23 ويا بني صهيون ابتهجوا وافرحوا بالرب الهكم لانه يعطيكم المطر المبكر على حقه وينزل عليكم مطرا مبكرا ومتأخرا في اول الوقت | 23 And you, O children of Sion, rejoice, and be joyful in the Lord your God: because he hath given you a teacher of justice, and he will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you as in the beginning. |
24 فتملأ البيادر حنطة وتفيض حياض المعاصر خمرا وزيتا. | 24 And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil. |
25 واعوض لكم عن السنين التي اكلها الجراد الغوغاء والطيّار والقمص جيشي العظيم الذي ارسلته عليكم. | 25 And I will restore to you the ears which the locust, and the bruchus, and the mildew, and the palmerworm have eaten; my great host which I sent upon you. |
26 فتأكلون اكلا وتشبعون وتسبّحون اسم الرب الهكم الذي صنع معكم عجبا ولا يخزى شعبي الى الابد. | 26 And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled: and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath done wonders with you, and my people shall not be confounded for ever. |
27 وتعلمون اني انا في وسط اسرائيل واني انا الرب الهكم وليس غيري ولا يخزى شعبي الى الابد. | 27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and my people shall not be confounded for ever. |
28 ويكون بعد ذلك اني اسكب روحي على كل بشر فيتنبأ بنوكم وبناتكم ويحلم شيوخكم احلاما ويرى شبابكم رؤى. | 28 And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. |
29 وعلى العبيد ايضا وعلى الإماء اسكب روحي في تلك الايام | 29 Moreover upon my servants and handmaids in those days I will pour forth my spirit. |
30 واعطي عجائب في السماء والارض دما ونارا واعمدة دخان. | 30 And I will shew wonders in heaven; and in earth, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke. |
31 تتحول الشمس الى ظلمة والقمر الى دم قبل ان يجيء يوم الرب العظيم المخوف. | 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood: before the great and dreadful day of the Lord doth come. |
32 ويكون ان كل من يدعو باسم الرب ينجو. لانه في جبل صهيون وفي اورشليم تكون نجاة. كما قال الرب. وبين الباقين من يدعوه الرب | 32 And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem shall be salvation, as the Lord hath said, and in the residue whom the Lord shall call. |
