1 ر َأيتُ الرَّبَّ واقِفاً بِجانِبِ المَذبَحِ، فَقالَ: «اضرِبْ رَأسَ الأعمِدَةِ كَي تَهتَزَّ حَتَّى الأعتابُ. حَطِّمْها عَلَى رُؤُوسِ كُلِّ الشَّعبِ، وَأمّا بَقِيَّتُهُمْ فَسَأقتُلُهُمْ بِالسَّيفِ. لَنْ يُفلِتَ مِنهُمْ أحَدٌ، لَنْ يَهرُبَ مِنهُمْ أحَدٌ.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said, “Break the tops of the pillars so that the bases shake! Break them to pieces on the heads of all the people! Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword. Not one of them will get away.

2 إ نْ حَفَرُوا إلَى الهاوِيَةِ، فَسَتَأخُذُهُمْ يَدِي مِنْ هُناكَ. وَإنْ صَعِدُوا إلَى السَّماءِ، فَسَأُنزِلهُمْ مِنْ هُناكَ.

Even if they dig into the place of the dead, My hand will take them from there. Even if they go up to heaven, I will bring them down from there.

3 إ نِ اختَبَأُوا عَلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ الكَرْمَلِ، فَسَأجِدُهُمْ وَآخُذُهُمْ مِنْ هُناكَ. وَإنِ استَتَرُوا فِي أعماقِ البَحرِ لِكَي لا أراهُمْ، فَسآمُرُ الحَيَّةَ فَتَلدَغَهُمْ.

Even if they hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I will find them and take them from there. Even if they hide themselves from My eyes on the bottom of the sea, there I will tell the large sea-snake to bite them.

4 و َإنْ سارُوا فِي السَّبيِ أمامَ أعدائِهِمْ، فَهُناكَ سَآمُرُ السَّيفَ فَيَقتُلهُمْ. وَسَأُثَبِّتُ عَينِي عَلَيهِمْ لِضَرَرِهِمْ لا لِخَيرِهِمْ.»

Even if they are taken away to a strange land by those who hate them, there I will have the sword kill them. I will set My eyes against them to hurt them, and not to bring good to them.”

5 ا لرَّبُّ الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَلمِسُ الأرْضَ فَتَذُوبُ، وَيَنُوحُ كُلُّ السّاكِنِينَ فِيها، وَتَرتَفِعُ كَنَهرِ النِّيلِ، ثُمَّ تَغُوصُ كَنِيلِ مِصرَ،

The Lord God of All is the One Who touches the land and it melts. All those who live in it are filled with sorrow. All of it rises and falls like the Nile River of Egypt.

6 ا لَّذِي بَنَى عَلياءَهُ فِي السَّماءِ، وَأسَّسَ قُبَّةَ السَّماءِ فَوقَ الأرْضِ. الَّذِي يَدعُو مِياهَ البَحرِ، وَيَسكُبُها عَلَى وَجهِ الأرْضِ، يهوه اسْمُهُ.

The Lord builds His upper rooms in the heavens and sets His sky over the earth. He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the earth. The Lord is His name.

7 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «هَلْ أنتُمْ كَالكُوشِيِّينَ بِالنِّسبَةِ لِي، يا بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ؟ ألَمْ أُخرِجْ إسْرائِيلَ مِنَ أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَالفِلِسطِيِّينَ مِنْ كَفتُورَ، وَأرام مِنْ قِيرَ؟

“Are you not like the Ethiopians to Me, you people of Israel?” says the Lord. “Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 ق َدْ ثَبَّتُّ عَينِي، أنا الرَّبَّ الإلَهَ ، عَلَى المَملَكَةِ الخاطِئَةِ، وَأنا سَأمْحُوها عَنْ وَجهِ الأرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَنْ أمْحوَ عائِلَةَ يَعقُوبَ بِالكامِلِ،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

See, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful nation, and I will destroy it from the earth. But I will not destroy all the people of Jacob,” says the Lord.

9 « لِأنِّي سَأُعطِي أمراً، وَسَأهُزُّ عائِلَةَ إسْرائِيلَ بَينَ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ، كَما تُهَزُّ الحَصَى فِي الغِربالِ دُونَ أنْ تَقَعَ حَصاةٌ إلَى الأرْضِ عَبرَ ثُقُوبِهِ.

“I will say what must be done. I will shake the people of Jacob among all the nations, as grain is shaken on a fine net. But not the smallest seed will fall to the ground.

10 ك ُلُّ الخُطاةِ فِي شَعبِي سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالسَّيفِ، الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: ‹لَنْ يَأتِيَنا الضَّرَرُ أوْ يَطرَحَنا.›» وَعدُ اللهِ بِرَدِّ السَّبي

All the sinners among My people who say, ‘The trouble will not catch up to us or come to us,’ will die by the sword. Israel to Have New Life

11 « فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأُقِيمُ خَيمَةَ داوُدَ السّاقِطَةَ، وَسَأسُدُّ الثَغَراتِ فِي أسوارِها. سَأُصلِحُ خَرائِبَها، وَسَأُعِيدُ بِناءَها كَما كانَتْ قَدِيماً،

“In that day I will build again the tent of David that fell down. Yes, I will build it again from the stones that fell down. I will set it up again as it used to be.

12 ك َي يَمتَلِكُوا ما بَقِيَ مِنْ أدُومَ، وَما بَقِيَ مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا لِي،» يَقُولُ اللهُ الَّذِي سَيَعمَلُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ.

And so the people of Israel will own what is left of the land of Edom and all the nations that are called by My name,” says the Lord who does this.

13 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «سَيَأتِي الوَقتُ حِينَ سَيَستَمِرُّ الحاصِدُ فِي العَمَلِ حَتَّى وَقتِ الحِراثَةِ، وَالَّذِي يَدُوسُ العِنَبَ سَيَستَمِرُّ حَتَّى وَقتِ بَذرِ البُذُورِ. سَيَسِيلُ النَّبِيذُ مِنَ الجِبالِ وَسَتَفِيضُ بِهِ التِّلالُ.

“The days are coming,” says the Lord, “when the man who plows will catch up with the man who gathers. The man who crushes the grapes will catch up with the man who plants the seed. The mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.

14 و َسَأُعِيدُ ما سُبِيَ مِنْ ثَرَواتِ شَعبِي، فَيَبنُونَ مُدُناً وَيَسكُنُونَها، وَيَزرَعُونَ كُرُوماً وَيَشرَبُونَ نَبِيذَها، وَيَغرِسُونَ بَساتِينَ وَيَأكُلُونَ ثِمارَها.

And I will return My people Israel to their riches. They will build again the cities that have been destroyed, and live in them. They will plant grape-fields and drink their wine. And they will make gardens and eat their fruit.

15 و َسَأزرَعُهُمْ عَلَى أرْضِهِمْ، وَلَنْ يَعُودُوا يُقلَعُونَ ثانِيَةً مِنَ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَهُمْ،» يَقُولُ إلَهُكَ.

I will plant My people on their land. And they will never again be pulled up from the land I gave them,” says the Lord your God.
