2Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
3يبركن ويضعن اولادهنّ. يدفعن اوجاعهنّ.
3They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
4تبلغ اولادهنّ. تربو في البرية. تخرج ولا تعود اليهنّ

5من سرّح الفراء حرّا ومن فكّ ربط حمار الوحش.
5Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?
6الذي جعلت البرية بيته والسباخ مسكنه.

13جناح النعامة يرفرف. أفهو منكب رأوف ام ريش.
13The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk.
14لانها تترك بيضها وتحميه في التراب
14For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,
15وتنسى ان الرّجل تضغطه او حيوان البر يدوسه.

16تقسو على اولادها كانها ليست لها. باطل تعبها بلا اسف.

18عندما تحوذ نفسها الى العلاء تضحك على الفرس وعلى راكبه

19هل انت تعطي الفرس قوته وتكسو عنقه عرفا

23عليه تصل السهام وسنان الرمح والمزراق.
23Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert.
24في وثبه ورجزه يلتهم الارض ولا يؤمن انه صوت البوق.
24With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet.
25عند نفخ البوق يقول هه ومن بعيد يستروح القتال صياح القواد والهتاف
25Among the trumpets he saith, Aha, And from afar he doth smell battle, Roaring of princes and shouting.
26أمن فهمك يستقل العقاب وينشر جناحيه نحو الجنوب.
