يَا أَرْضَ حَفِيفِ ٱلْأَجْنِحَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ أَنْهَارِ كُوشَ، ١ 1
Woe to the land of the rustling of wings, which is along the rivers of Cush;
ٱلْمُرْسِلَةَ رُسُلًا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ وَفِي قَوَارِبَ مِنَ ٱلْبَرْدِيِّ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. ٱذْهَبُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ ٱلسَّرِيعُونَ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ وَجَرْدَاءَ، إِلَى شَعْبٍ مَخُوفٍ مُنْذُ كَانَ فَصَاعِدًا، أُمَّةِ قُوَّةٍ وَشِدَّةٍ وَدَوْسٍ، قَدْ خَرَقَتِ ٱلْأَنْهَارُ أَرْضَهَا. ٢ 2
who send ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide.
يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ وَقَاطِنِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، عِنْدَمَا تَرْتَفِعُ ٱلرَّايَةُ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ تَنْظُرُونَ، وَعِنْدَمَا يُضْرَبُ بِٱلْبُوقِ تَسْمَعُونَ. ٣ 3
All you inhabitants of the world and you who live on the earth, when a signal is lifted up on the mountains, look; and when the trumpet is blown, listen.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «إِنِّي أَهْدَأُ وَأَنْظُرُ فِي مَسْكَنِي كَٱلْحَرِّ ٱلصَّافِي عَلَى ٱلْبَقْلِ، كَغَيْمِ ٱلنَّدَى فِي حَرِّ ٱلْحَصَادِ». ٤ 4
This is what Yahweh said to me, “I will quietly observe from my home, like the simmering heat in sunshine, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest.
فَإِنَّهُ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَصَادِ، عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلزَّهْرِ، وَعِنْدَمَا يَصِيرُ ٱلزَّهْرُ حِصْرِمًا نَضِيجًا، يَقْطَعُ ٱلْقُضْبَانَ بِٱلْمَنَاجِلِ، وَيَنْزِعُ ٱلْأَفْنَانَ وَيَطْرَحُهَا. ٥ 5
Before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower is ripening into a grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
تُتْرَكُ مَعًا لِجَوَارِحِ ٱلْجِبَالِ وَلِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتُصَيِّفُ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْجَوَارِحُ، وَتُشَتِّي عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعُ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
They will be left together for the birds of the mountains and for the animals of the earth. The birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.”
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تُقَدَّمُ هَدِيَّةٌ لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ مِنْ شَعْبٍ طَوِيلٍ وَأَجْرَدَ، وَمِنْ شَعْبٍ مَخُوفٍ مُنْذُ كَانَ فَصَاعِدًا، مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ذَاتِ قُوَّةٍ وَشِدَّةٍ وَدَوْسٍ، قَدْ خَرَقَتِ ٱلْأَنْهَارُ أَرْضَهَا، إِلَى مَوْضِعِ ٱسْمِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ. ٧ 7
At that time tribute will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, to Mount Zion.
