1 ي ا اللهُ إلَهِي أنتَ، أرفَعُكَ وَأُسَبِّحُ اسْمَكَ، لأنَّكَ عَمِلْتَ أُمُوراً مُدهِشَةً، خَطَّطتَ لَها مُنذُ زَمَنٍ بَعِيدٍ وَتَحَقَّقَتْ.
¶ O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee; I will praise thy name for thou hast done wonders, the counsels of old, the truth unchanging.
2 ل أنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ المَدِينَةَ كَومَةَ حِجارَةٍ، وَجَعَلْتَ المَدِينَةَ المُحَصَّنَةَ خَراباً. لَنْ يَستَمِرَّ قَصرُ الغُرَباءِ كَمَدِينَةٍ، وَلَنْ يُبنَى ثانِيَةً.
That thou hast turned the city into a heap; the defenced city into a ruin: the palace of strangers to not be a city; it shall never be rebuilt.
3 ل ِذَلِكَ يُمَجِّدُكَ شَعبٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَشُعُوبٌ أُخْرَى سَتَخافُكَ.
Therefore the strong people shall glorify thee; the city of the strong Gentiles shall fear thee.
4 ل أنَّكَ كُنتَ حِصناً لِلمَساكِينِ، مَلجأً لِلبائِسِينَ فِي يَومِ الضِّيقِ، وَسِتراً مِنَ العاصِفَةِ وَظِلّاً مِنَ الحَرِّ. حِينَ كانَ هُجُومُ القُساةُ كَعاصِفَةِ الشِّتاءِ،
For thou hast been strength to the poor, strength to the needy in his distress, refuge from the storm, shadow from the heat, for the force of the violent is as a storm against the wall.
5 أ وْ كَحَرِّ الصَّحراءِ، أنتَ أسْكَتَّ ضَجِيجَ الغُرَباءِ، كَما يُطفِئُ ظِلُّ الغُيُومِ حَرَّ الصَّحراءِ، هَكَذا تُسكِتُ أُغنِيَةَ القُساةِ. وَلِيمَةُ اللهِ لِخُدّامِه
As the heat in a dry place, thou shalt bring down the pride of the strangers; even as with heat that burns beneath a cloud, thou shalt cause the offshoot of the stout ones to wither.
6 ع َلَى هَذا الجَبَلِ، سَيُعِدُّ اللهُ القَدِيرُ لِلشَّعبِ وَلِيمَةً مِنْ أفضَلِ الأطعِمَةِ وَالنَّبِيذِ المُعَتَّقِ، بِاللَّحمِ الطَّرِيِّ وَالنَّبِيذِ المُعَتَّقِ الصّافِي.
¶ And in this mountain the LORD of the hosts shall make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of purified wines, of fat things full of marrow, of purified liquids.
7 و َعَلَى هَذا الجَبَلِ، سَيُزِيلُ البُرقُعَ الَّذِي يُغَطِّي كُلَّ الشُعُوبِ، وَغِطاءَ المَوتِ المَفرُوشَ عَلَى كُلِّ الأُمَمِ.
And he will undo in this mountain the mask of the covering with which all the peoples are covered and the veil that is extended over all the Gentiles.
8 س َيُهزَمُ المَوتَ إلَى الأبَدِ. وَسَيَمسَحُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ الدُّمُوعَ عَنْ كُلِّ الوُجُوهِ. وَسَيَنزِعُ عارَ شَعبِهِ الَّذِي يُغَطِّي كُلَّ الأرْضِ. لأنَّ اللهَ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ.
He will destroy death forever; and the Lord GOD shall wipe away every tear from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people he shall take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has determined it.
9 ف ِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ سَيَقُولُونَ: «هَذا هُوَ إلَهُنا، انتَظَرْناهُ فَجاءَ لِخَلاصِنا. هَذا هُوَ اللهُ ، انتَظَرْناهُ، لِنَفرَحْ وَنَبتَهِجْ بِخَلاصِهِ.»
¶ And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God, whom we have waited for, and he has saved us: this is the LORD, whom we have waited for, we will be glad and rejoice in his saving health.
10 ل أنَّ اللهَ سَيَحمِي هَذا الجَبَلَ، أمّا مُوآبُ فَسَتُداسُ تَحتَهُ كَالقَشِّ الَّذِي يُداسُ فِي كَومَةِ رَوثٍ.
For in this mountain the hand of the LORD shall rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 س َيَمُدُّ النّاسُ أيديَهُمْ وَسَطَ مُوآبَ، كَما يَمُدُّ الغَرِيقُ يَدَيهِ لِيَنجُوَ. لَكِنَّ كِبرِياءَهُمْ سَينحَدِرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَرَكَةٍ مِنْ أيدِيهِمْ. مَعَ كُلِّ الأشياءِ الجَمِيلَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوها بِأيدِيهِمِ الماهِرَةِ.
And he shall extend his hand in the midst of him as he that swims spreads forth his hand to swim: and he shall bring down his pride with the members of his hands
12 س َتَسقُطُ أسوارُ حُصُونِكِ المُرتَفِعَةَ، سَتُذَلُّ وَتُطرَحُ إلَى الأرْضِ، بَلْ إلَى التُّرابِ.
and lay siege to the fortress of thy high walls; he shall humble it and bring it down to the ground, even to the dust.
