SMITH VAN DYKENEW JERUSALEM
1 قد ارتفعت المقمعة على وجهك. احرس الحصن راقب الطريق شدّد الحقوين مكّن القوة جدا.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.
2 فان الرب يرد عظمة يعقوب كعظمة اسرائيل لان السالبين قد سلبوهم واتلفوا قضبان كرومهم.2 The destroyer has advanced on you, guarding the siege-works, watching the road, bracing himself,mustering great strength!
3 ترس ابطاله محمّر. رجال الجيش قرمزيّون. المركبات بنار الفولاذ في يوم اعداده. والسرو يهتزّ.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!)
4 تهيج المركبات في الازقة. تتراكض في الساحات. منظرها كمصابيح. تجري كالبروق4 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;
5 يذكر عظماءه. يتعثرون في مشيهم. يسرعون الى سورها وقد اقيمت المترسة.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.
6 ابواب الانهار انفتحت والقصر قد ذاب.6 His captains are cal ed out; stumbling as they go, they speed towards the wall, and the mantelet is putin position.
7 وهصّب قد انكشفت. أطلعت. وجواريها تئنّ كصوت الحمام ضاربات على صدورهنّ.7 The sluices of the River are opened, and the palace melts in terror.
8 ونينوى كبركة ماء منذ كانت ولكنهم الآن هاربون. قفوا قفوا ولا ملتفت.8 Beauty is taken captive, carried away, her slave-girls moaning like doves
9 انهبوا فضة انهبوا ذهبا فلا نهاية للتحف للكثرة من كل متاع شهي.9 and beating their breasts. Nineveh is like a lake, whose waters are draining away. 'Stop! Stop!' But noone turns back.
10 فراغ وخلاء وخراب وقلب ذائب وارتخاء ركب ووجع في كل حقو. واوجه جميعهم تجمع حمرة10 'Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!' There is no end to the treasure, a mass of everything you coulddesire!
11 اين مأوى الأسود ومرعى اشبال الأسود. حيث يمشي الاسد واللبوة وشبل الاسد وليس من يخوّف.11 Ravaged, wrecked, ruined! Heart fails and knees give way, anguish is in the loins of al , and everyface grows pale!
12 الاسد المفترس لحاجة جرائه والخانق لاجل لبواته حتى ملأ مغاراته فرائس ومآويه مفترسات.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,
13 ها انا عليك يقول رب الجنود. فاحرق مركباتك دخانا واشبالك ياكلها السيف واقطع من الارض فرائسك ولا يسمع ايضا صوت رسلك13 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?
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.
