< صَفَنْيَا 2 >
تَجَمَّعِي وَٱجْتَمِعِي يَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأُمَّةُ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُسْتَحِيَةِ. | ١ 1 |
Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O nation not desired;
قَبْلَ وِلَادَةِ ٱلْقَضَاءِ. كَٱلْعُصَافَةِ عَبَرَ ٱلْيَوْمُ. قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمُ سَخَطِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢ 2 |
Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come on you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come on you.
أُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، يَا جَمِيعَ بَائِسِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا حُكْمَهُ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلْبِرَّ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلتَّوَاضُعَ. لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْتَرُونَ فِي يَوْمِ سَخَطِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣ 3 |
Seek you the LORD, all you meek of the earth, which have worked his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
لِأَنَّ غَزَّةَ تَكُونُ مَتْرُوكَةً، وَأَشْقَلُونَ لِلْخَرَابِ. أَشْدُودُ عِنْدَ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ يَطْرُدُونَهَا، وَعَقْرُونُ تُسْتَأْصَلُ. | ٤ 4 |
For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
وَيْلٌ لِسُكَّانِ سَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ أُمَّةِ ٱلْكِرِيتِيِّينَ! كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ: «يَا كَنْعَانُ أَرْضَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، إِنِّي أَخْرِبُكِ بِلَا سَاكِنٍ». | ٥ 5 |
Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy you, that there shall be no inhabitant.
وَيَكُونُ سَاحِلُ ٱلْبَحْرِ مَرْعًى بِآبَارٍ لِلرُّعَاةِ وَحَظَائِرَ لِلْغَنَمِ. | ٦ 6 |
And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
وَيَكُونُ ٱلسَّاحِلُ لِبَقِيَّةِ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا. عَلَيْهِ يَرْعَوْنَ. فِي بُيُوتِ أَشْقَلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يَرْبُضُونَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ يَتَعَهَّدُهُمْ وَيَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
«قَدْ سَمِعْتُ تَعْيِيرَ مُوآبَ وَتَجَادِيفَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا عَيَّرُوا شَعْبِي، وَتَعَظَّمُوا عَلَى تُخُمِهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
فَلِذَلِكَ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِنَّ مُوآبَ تَكُونُ كَسَدُومَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ كَعَمُورَةَ، مِلْكَ ٱلْقَرِيصِ، وَحُفْرَةَ مِلْحٍ، وَخَرَابًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. تَنْهَبُهُمْ بَقِيَّةُ شَعْبِي، وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمَّتِي تَمْتَلِكُهُمْ». | ٩ 9 |
Therefore as I live, says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
هَذَا لَهُمْ عِوَضُ تَكَبُّرِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَيَّرُوا وَتَعَظَّمُوا عَلَى شَعْبِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١٠ 10 |
This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
ٱلرَّبُّ مُخِيفٌ إِلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُ يُهْزِلُ جَمِيعَ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَسَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ ٱلنَّاسُ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ، كُلُّ جَزَائِرِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١١ 11 |
The LORD will be terrible to them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
«وَأَنْتُمْ يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْكُوشِيُّونَ. قَتْلَى سَيْفِي هُمْ». | ١٢ 12 |
You Ethiopians also, you shall be slain by my sword.
وَيَمُدُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ وَيُبِيدُ أَشُّورَ، وَيَجْعَلُ نِينَوَى خَرَابًا يَابِسَةً كَٱلْقَفْرِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
فَتَرْبُضُ فِي وَسَطِهَا ٱلْقُطْعَانُ، كُلُّ طَوَائِفِ ٱلْحَيَوَانِ. اَلْقُوقُ أَيْضًا وَٱلْقُنْفُذُ يَأْوِيَانِ إِلَى تِيجَانِ عُمُدِهَا. صَوْتٌ يَنْعِبُ فِي ٱلْكُوَى. خَرَابٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَعْتَابِ. لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَرَّى أَرْزِيُّهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And flocks shall lie down in the middle of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he shall uncover the cedar work.
هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْمُبْتَهِجَةُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ مُطْمَئِنَّةً، ٱلْقَائِلَةُ فِي قَلْبِهَا: «أَنَا وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي». كَيْفَ صَارَتْ خَرَابًا، مَرْبِضًا لِلْحَيَوَانِ! كُلُّ عَابِرٍ بِهَا يَصْفِرُ وَيَهُزُّ يَدَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
This is the rejoicing city that dwelled carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passes by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
