¹اقتربوا ايها الامم لتسمعوا وايها الشعوب اصغوا. لتسمع الارض وملؤها. المسكونة وكل نتائجها.

¹Come near, ye nations, to hear, And ye peoples, give attention, Hear doth the earth and its fulness, The world, and all its productions.

²لان للرب سخطا على كل الامم وحموا على كل جيشهم. قد حرمهم دفعهم الى الذبح.

²For wrath [is] to Jehovah against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath given them to slaughter.

³فقتلاهم تطرح وجيفهم تصعد نتانها وتسيل الجبال بدمائهم.

³And their wounded are cast out, And their carcases cause their stench to ascend, And melted have been mountains from their blood.

⁴ويفنى كل جند السموات وتلتف السموات كدرج وكل جندها ينتثر كانتثار الورق من الكرمة والسقاط من التينة

⁴And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig-tree.

⁵لانه قد روي في السموات سيفي. هوذا على ادوم ينزل وعلى شعب حرمته للدينونة.

⁵For soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment.

⁶للرب سيف قد امتلأ دما اطلى بشحم بدم خراف وتيوس بشحم كلى كباش. لان للرب ذبيحة في بصرة وذبحا عظيما في ارض ادوم.

⁶A sword [is] to Jehovah — it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice [is] to Jehovah in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁷ويسقط البقر الوحشي معها والعجول مع الثيران وتروى ارضهم من الدم وترابهم من الشحم يسمن.

⁷And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.

⁸لان للرب يوم انتقام سنة جزاء من اجل دعوى صهيون

⁸(For a day of vengeance [is] to Jehovah, A year of recompences for Zion`s strife,)

⁹وتتحول انهارها زفتا وترابها كبريتا وتصير ارضها زفتا مشتعلا.

⁹And turned have been her streams to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land hath become burning pitch.

¹⁰ليلا ونهارا لا تنطفئ. الى الابد يصعد دخانها. من دور الى دور تخرب. الى ابد الآبدين لا يكون من يجتاز فيها.

¹⁰By night and by day she is not quenched, To the age go up doth her smoke, From generation to generation she is waste, For ever and ever, none is passing into her.

¹¹ويرثها القوق والقنفذ. والكركي والغراب يسكنان فيها ويمد عليها خيط الخراب ومطمار الخلاء.

¹¹And possess her do pelican and hedge-hog, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He hath stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.

¹²اشرافها ليس هناك من يدعونه للملك وكل رؤسائها يكونون عدما.

¹²[To] the kingdom her freemen they call, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.

¹³ويطلع في قصورها الشوك القريص والعوسج في حصونها. فتكون مسكنا للذئاب ودارا لبنات النعام.

¹³And gone up her palaces have thorns, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it hath been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.

¹⁴وتلاقي وحوش القفر بنات آوى ومعز الوحش يدعو صاحبه. هناك يستقر الليل ويجد لنفسه محلا.

¹⁴And met have Ziim with Aiim, And the goat for its companion calleth, Only there rested hath the night-owl, And hath found for herself a place of rest.

¹⁵هناك تحجر النكّازة وتبيض وتفرخ وتربي تحت ظلها. وهناك تجتمع الشواهين بعضها ببعض

¹⁵There made her nest hath the bittern, Yea, she layeth, and hath hatched, And hath gathered under her shadow, Only there gathered have been vultures, Each with its companion.

¹⁶فتشوا في سفر الرب واقرأوا واحدة من هذه لا تفقد. لا يغادر شيء صاحبه لان فمه هو قد أمر وروحه هو جمعها.

¹⁶Seek out of the book of Jehovah, and read, One of these hath not been lacking, None hath missed its companion, For My mouth — it hath commanded, And His spirit — He hath gathered them.

¹⁷وهو قد القى لها قرعة ويده قسمتها لها بالخيط. الى الابد ترثها. الى دور فدور تسكن فيها

¹⁷And He hath cast for them a lot, And His hand hath apportioned [it] to them by line, Unto the age they possess it, To all generations they dwell in it!
