< نَاحُوم 2 >
قَدِ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلْمِقْمَعَةُ عَلَى وَجْهِكِ. ٱحْرُسِ ٱلْحِصْنَ. رَاقِبِ ٱلطَّرِيقَ. شَدِّدِ ٱلْحَقْوَيْنِ. مَكِّنِ ٱلْقُوَّةَ جِدًّا. | ١ 1 |
The ravager cometh up against thee, [[O Nineveh!]] Guard the fortress; watch the way; Gird up the loins; confirm the strength.
فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَرُدُّ عَظَمَةَ يَعْقُوبَ كَعَظَمَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّالِبِينَ قَدْ سَلَبُوهُمْ وَأَتْلَفُوا قُضْبَانَ كُرُومِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
For Jehovah restoreth the glory of Jacob, As the glory of Israel; For the wasters have wasted them, And destroyed their branches.
تُرْسُ أَبْطَالِهِ مُحَمَّرٌ. رِجَالُ ٱلْجَيْشِ قِرْمِزِيُّونَ. ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتُ بِنَارِ ٱلْفُولَاذِ فِي يَوْمِ إِعْدَادِهِ. وَٱلسَّرْوُ يَهْتَزُّ. | ٣ 3 |
The shields of his mighty men are red; His warriors are clothed in crimson; His chariots glitter with the fire of steel in the day of his preparation, And the spears are brandished.
تَهِيجُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتُ فِي ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ. تَتَرَاكَضُ فِي ٱلسَّاحَاتِ. مَنْظَرُهَا كَمَصَابِيحَ. تَجْرِي كَٱلْبُرُوقِ. | ٤ 4 |
The chariots rave in the streets; They run to and fro in the broad ways; Their appearance is like torches; They run like lightnings.
يَذْكُرُ عُظَمَاءَهُ. يَتَعَثَّرُونَ فِي مَشْيِهِمْ. يُسْرِعُونَ إِلَى سُورِهَا، وَقَدْ أُقِيمَتِ ٱلْمِتْرَسَةُ. | ٥ 5 |
He calleth for his mighty men; They stumble on their way; They hasten to the wall; But the mantelet is prepared,
أَبْوَابُ ٱلْأَنْهَارِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ، وَٱلْقَصْرُ قَدْ ذَابَ. | ٦ 6 |
The gates of rivers are opened, And the palace melteth away.
وَهُصَّبُ قَدِ ٱنْكَشَفَتْ. أُطْلِعَتْ. وَجَوَارِيهَا تَئِنُّ كَصَوْتِ ٱلْحَمَامِ ضَارِبَاتٍ عَلَى صُدُورِهِنَّ. | ٧ 7 |
Huzzab is uncovered; she is carried away captive, Her maidservants sigh with the voice of doves, And smite their breasts.
وَنِينَوَى كَبِرْكَةِ مَاءٍ مُنْذُ كَانَتْ، وَلَكِنَّهُمُ ٱلْآنَ هَارِبُونَ. «قِفُوا، قِفُوا!» وَلَا مُلْتَفِتٌ. | ٨ 8 |
Nineveh was like a pool full of water of old; Yet shall they flee away; Stand! stand! shall they cry; But none shall look back.
اِنْهَبُوا فِضَّةً. اِنْهَبُوا ذَهَبًا، فَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِلتُّحَفِ لِلْكَثْرَةِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَتَاعٍ شَهِيٍّ. | ٩ 9 |
Seize the silver; seize the gold; There is no end to the treasures; There is abundance of all precious furniture.
فَرَاغٌ وَخَلَاءٌ وَخَرَابٌ، وَقَلْبٌ ذَائِبٌ وَٱرْتِخَاءُ رُكَبٍ وَوَجَعٌ فِي كُلِّ حَقْوٍ. وَأَوْجُهُ جَمِيعِهِمْ تَجْمَعُ حُمْرَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
She hath become void, and empty, and desolate; The heart melteth, and the knees smite together; Pangs are in all their loins, And the faces of all gather blackness.
أَيْنَ مَأْوَى ٱلْأُسُودِ وَمَرْعَى أَشْبَالِ ٱلْأُسُودِ؟ حَيْثُ يَمْشِي ٱلْأَسَدُ وَٱللَّبُوَةُ وَشِبْلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَوِّفُ. | ١١ 11 |
Where now is the dwelling of the lions, And the feeding-place of the young lions, Where the lion and the lioness walked, And the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
ٱلْأَسَدُ ٱلْمُفْتَرِسُ لِحَاجةِ جِرَائِهِ، وَٱلْخَانِقُ لِأَجْلِ لَبُوَاتِهِ حَتَّى مَلَأَ مَغَارَاتِهِ فَرَائِسَ وَمَآوِيَهُ مُفْتَرَسَاتٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
The lion tore in pieces for his whelps, And strangled for his lionesses, And filled his dens with prey, And his lairs with ravin.
«هَا أَنَا عَلَيْكِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. فَأُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِكِ دُخَانًا، وَأَشْبَالُكِ يَأْكُلُهَا ٱلسَّيْفُ، وَأَقْطَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَرَائِسَكِ، وَلَا يُسْمَعُ أَيْضًا صَوْتُ رُسُلُكِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Behold! I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, And I will burn thy chariots into smoke, And the sword shall devour thy young lions. And I will cut off thy prey from the earth, And the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
