١ 1 تَجَمَّعِي وَٱجْتَمِعِي يَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأُمَّةُ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُسْتَحِيَةِ.

٢ 2 قَبْلَ وِلَادَةِ ٱلْقَضَاءِ. كَٱلْعُصَافَةِ عَبَرَ ٱلْيَوْمُ. قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمُ سَخَطِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

٣ 3 أُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، يَا جَمِيعَ بَائِسِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا حُكْمَهُ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلْبِرَّ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلتَّوَاضُعَ. لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْتَرُونَ فِي يَوْمِ سَخَطِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ غَزَّةَ تَكُونُ مَتْرُوكَةً، وَأَشْقَلُونَ لِلْخَرَابِ. أَشْدُودُ عِنْدَ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ يَطْرُدُونَهَا، وَعَقْرُونُ تُسْتَأْصَلُ.

For Gaza abandoned it will be and Ashkelon [will become] a desolation Ashdod at the noontide people will drive out it and Ekron it will be plucked up.

٥ 5 وَيْلٌ لِسُكَّانِ سَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ أُمَّةِ ٱلْكِرِيتِيِّينَ! كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ: «يَا كَنْعَانُ أَرْضَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، إِنِّي أَخْرِبُكِ بِلَا سَاكِنٍ».

And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.

٧ 7 وَيَكُونُ ٱلسَّاحِلُ لِبَقِيَّةِ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا. عَلَيْهِ يَرْعَوْنَ. فِي بُيُوتِ أَشْقَلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يَرْبُضُونَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ يَتَعَهَّدُهُمْ وَيَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ.

١٠ 10 هَذَا لَهُمْ عِوَضُ تَكَبُّرِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَيَّرُوا وَتَعَظَّمُوا عَلَى شَعْبِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

١٤ 14 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.
