¹اطلبوا من الرب المطر في اوان المطر المتأخر فيصنع الرب بروقا ويعطيهم مطر الوبل. لكل انسان عشبا في الحقل.

¹Ask of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain; Jehovah will make lightnings, and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

²لان الترافيم قد تكلموا بالباطل والعرافون رأوا الكذب واخبروا باحلام كذب. يعزّون بالباطل. لذلك رحلوا كغنم. ذلوا اذ ليس راع.

²For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams: they comfort in vain. Therefore they have gone away as a flock, they are in distress, because there is no shepherd.

³على الرعاة اشتعل غضبي فعاقبت الاعتدة. لان رب الجنود قد تعهد قطيعه بيت يهوذا وجعلهم كفرس جلاله في القتال.

³Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for Jehovah of hosts visiteth his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his majestic horse in the battle.

⁴منه الزاوية منه الوتد منه قوس القتال منه يخرج كل ظالم جميعا.

⁴From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together.

⁵ويكونون كالجبابرة الدائسين طين الاسواق في القتال ويحاربون لان الرب معهم والراكبون الخيل يخزون.

⁵And they shall be as mighty men, treading down the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, for Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

⁶واقوي بيت يهوذا واخلّص بيت يوسف وارجعهم لاني قد رحمتهم ويكونون كاني لم ارفضهم لاني انا الرب الههم فاجيبهم.

⁶And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back again; for I will have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

⁷ويكون افرايم كجبار ويفرح قلبهم كانه بالخمر وينظر بنوهم فيفرحون ويبتهج قلبهم بالرب.

⁷And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; and their children shall see [it], and rejoice; their heart shall be joyful in Jehovah.

⁸اصفر لهم واجمعهم لاني قد فديتهم ويكثرون كما كثروا.

⁸I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall multiply as they used to multiply.

⁹وازرعهم بين الشعوب فيذكرونني في الاراضي البعيدة ويحيون مع بنيهم ويرجعون.

⁹And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children and return.

¹⁰وارجعهم من ارض مصر واجمعهم من اشور وآتي بهم الى ارض جلعاد ولبنان ولا يوجد لهم مكان.

¹⁰And I will bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.

¹¹ويعبر في بحر الضيق ويضرب اللجج في البحر وتجف كل اعماق النهر وتخفض كبرياء اشور ويزول قضيب مصر.

¹¹And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the billows in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

¹²واقويهم بالرب فيسلكون باسمه يقول الرب

¹²And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk in his name, saith Jehovah.
