NEW JERUSALEMSMITH VAN DYKE
1 To Judah See on the mountains the feet of the herald! 'Peace!' he proclaims. Judah, celebrate yourfeasts, carry out your vows, for Belial wil never pass through you again; he has been utterly destroyed.1 قد ارتفعت المقمعة على وجهك. احرس الحصن راقب الطريق شدّد الحقوين مكّن القوة جدا.
2 The destroyer has advanced on you, guarding the siege-works, watching the road, bracing himself,mustering great strength!2 فان الرب يرد عظمة يعقوب كعظمة اسرائيل لان السالبين قد سلبوهم واتلفوا قضبان كرومهم.
3 (For Yahweh has restored the vine of Jacob, yes, the vine of Israel, although the plunderers hadplundered them, although they had snapped off their vine-shoots!)3 ترس ابطاله محمّر. رجال الجيش قرمزيّون. المركبات بنار الفولاذ في يوم اعداده. والسرو يهتزّ.
4 The shields of his fighting men show red, his warriors are dressed in scarlet; the metal of the chariotssparkles as he prepares for battle; the horsemen are impatient for action;4 تهيج المركبات في الازقة. تتراكض في الساحات. منظرها كمصابيح. تجري كالبروق
5 the chariots storm through the streets, jostling one another in the squares; they look like blazing flames,like lightning they dash to and fro.5 يذكر عظماءه. يتعثرون في مشيهم. يسرعون الى سورها وقد اقيمت المترسة.
6 His captains are cal ed out; stumbling as they go, they speed towards the wall, and the mantelet is putin position.6 ابواب الانهار انفتحت والقصر قد ذاب.
7 The sluices of the River are opened, and the palace melts in terror.7 وهصّب قد انكشفت. أطلعت. وجواريها تئنّ كصوت الحمام ضاربات على صدورهنّ.
8 Beauty is taken captive, carried away, her slave-girls moaning like doves8 ونينوى كبركة ماء منذ كانت ولكنهم الآن هاربون. قفوا قفوا ولا ملتفت.
9 and beating their breasts. Nineveh is like a lake, whose waters are draining away. 'Stop! Stop!' But noone turns back.9 انهبوا فضة انهبوا ذهبا فلا نهاية للتحف للكثرة من كل متاع شهي.
10 'Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!' There is no end to the treasure, a mass of everything you coulddesire!10 فراغ وخلاء وخراب وقلب ذائب وارتخاء ركب ووجع في كل حقو. واوجه جميعهم تجمع حمرة
11 Ravaged, wrecked, ruined! Heart fails and knees give way, anguish is in the loins of al , and everyface grows pale!11 اين مأوى الأسود ومرعى اشبال الأسود. حيث يمشي الاسد واللبوة وشبل الاسد وليس من يخوّف.
12 Where is the lions' den now, the cave of the lion's whelps, where the lion and lioness walked with theircubs and no one molested them,12 الاسد المفترس لحاجة جرائه والخانق لاجل لبواته حتى ملأ مغاراته فرائس ومآويه مفترسات.
13 where the lion would tear up food for his whelps and strangle the kil for his mates, where he fil ed hiscaverns with prey and his lairs with spoil?13 ها انا عليك يقول رب الجنود. فاحرق مركباتك دخانا واشبالك ياكلها السيف واقطع من الارض فرائسك ولا يسمع ايضا صوت رسلك
14 Look, I am against you!- declares Yahweh Sabaoth- I shal send your chariots up in smoke, and thesword will devour your whelps; I shal cut short your depredations on earth, and the voices of your envoys wil beheard no more.
