< يُوئِيل 2 >

اِضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ. صَوِّتُوا فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي! لِيَرْتَعِدْ جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَادِمٌ، لِأَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ: ١ 1
Sound the trumpet in Sion, make a proclamation in my holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded: for the day of the Lord is near;
يَوْمُ ظَلَامٍ وَقَتَامٍ، يَوْمُ غَيْمٍ وَضَبَابٍ، مِثْلَ ٱلْفَجْرِ مُمْتَدًّا عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. شَعْبٌ كَثِيرٌ وَقَوِيٌّ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَظِيرُهُ مُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ أَيْضًا بَعْدَهُ إِلَى سِنِي دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. ٢ 2
for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist: a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been from the beginning one like it, and after it there shall not be again even to the years of many generations.
قُدَّامَهُ نَارٌ تَأْكُلُ، وَخَلْفَهُ لَهِيبٌ يَحْرِقُ. ٱلْأَرْضُ قُدَّامَهُ كَجَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ وَخَلْفَهُ قَفْرٌ خَرِبٌ، وَلَا تَكُونُ مِنْهُ نَجَاةٌ. ٣ 3
Before them is a consuming fire, and behind them is a flame kindled: the land before them is as a paradise of delight, and behind them a desolate plain: and there shall none of them escape.
كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْخَيْلِ مَنْظَرُهُ، وَمِثْلَ ٱلْأَفْرَاسِ يَرْكُضُونَ. ٤ 4
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
كَصَرِيفِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ يَثِبُونَ. كَزَفِيرِ لَهِيبِ نَارٍ تَأْكُلُ قَشًّا. كَقَوْمٍ أَقْوِيَاءَ مُصْطَفِّينَ لِلْقِتَالِ. ٥ 5
As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble, and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle.
مِنْهُ تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. كُلُّ ٱلْوُجُوهِ تَجْمَعُ حُمْرَةً. ٦ 6
Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a caldron.
يَجْرُونَ كَأَبْطَالٍ. يَصْعَدُونَ ٱلسُّورَ كَرِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَيَمْشُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، وَلَا يُغَيِّرُونَ سُبُلَهُمْ. ٧ 7
As warriors shall they run, and as men of war shall they mount on the walls; and each shall move in his [right] path, and they shall not turn aside from their tracks:
وَلَا يُزَاحِمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا. يَمْشُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْأَسْلِحَةِ يَقَعُونَ وَلَا يَنْكَسِرُونَ. ٨ 8
and not one shall stand aloof from his brother: they shall go on weighed down with their arms, and they fall upon their weapons, yet shall they in no wise be destroyed.
يَتَرَاكَضُونَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. يَجْرُونَ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ. يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبُيُوتِ. يَدْخُلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَى كَٱللِّصِّ. ٩ 9
They shall seize upon the city, and run upon the walls, and go up upon the houses, and enter in through the windows as thieves.
قُدَّامَهُ تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَرْجُفُ ٱلسَّمَاءُ. اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ يُظْلِمَانِ، وَٱلنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا. ١٠ 10
Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
وَٱلرَّبُّ يُعْطِي صَوْتَهُ أَمَامَ جَيْشِهِ. إِنَّ عَسْكَرَهُ كَثِيرٌ جِدًّا. فَإِنَّ صَانِعَ قَوْلِهِ قَوِيٌّ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ عَظِيمٌ وَمَخُوفٌ جِدًّا، فَمَنْ يُطِيقُهُ؟ ١١ 11
And the Lord shall utter his voice before his host: for his camp is very great: for the execution of his words is mighty: for the day of the Lord is great, very glorious, and who shall be able to [resist] it?
«وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَبِٱلصَّوْمِ وَٱلْبُكَاءِ وَٱلنَّوْحِ. ١٢ 12
Now therefore, says the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
وَمَزِّقُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لَا ثِيَابَكُمْ». وَٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لِأَنَّهُ رَؤُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ، بَطِيءُ ٱلْغَضَبِ وَكَثِيرُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ وَيَنْدَمُ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ. ١٣ 13
and rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
لَعَلَّهُ يَرْجِعُ وَيَنْدَمُ، فَيُبْقِيَ وَرَاءَهُ بَرَكَةَ، تَقْدِمَةٍ وَسَكِيبًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. ١٤ 14
Who knows if he will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meat-offering and a drink-offering to the Lord your God?
اِضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ. قَدِّسُوا صَوْمًا. نَادُوا بِٱعْتِكَافٍ. ١٥ 15
Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
اِجْمَعُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ. قَدِّسُوا ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ. ٱحْشُدُوا ٱلشُّيُوخَ. ٱجْمَعُوا ٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَرَاضِعِي ٱلثُّدِيِّ. لِيَخْرُجِ ٱلْعَرِيسُ مِنْ مِخْدَعِهِ وَٱلْعَرُوسُ مِنْ حَجَلَتِهَا. ١٦ 16
gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants at the breast: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
لِيَبْكِ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ خُدَّامُ ٱلرَّبِّ بَيْنَ ٱلرِّواقِ وَٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَيَقُولُوا: «ٱشْفِقْ يَارَبُّ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ، وَلَا تُسَلِّمْ مِيرَاثَكَ لِلْعَارِ حَتَّى تَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ مَثَلًا. لِمَاذَا يَقُولُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُهُمْ؟». ١٧ 17
Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare your people, O Lord, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?
فَيَغَارُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَرْضِهِ وَيَرِقُّ لِشَعْبِهِ. ١٨ 18
But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
وَيُجِيبُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَيَقُولُ لِشَعْبِهِ: «هَأَنَذَا مُرْسِلٌ لَكُمْ قَمْحًا وَمِسْطَارًا وَزَيْتًا لِتَشْبَعُوا مِنْهَا، وَلَا أَجْعَلُكُمْ أَيْضًا عَارًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. ١٩ 19
And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach among the Gentiles.
وَٱلشِّمَالِيُّ أُبْعِدُهُ عَنْكُمْ، وَأَطْرُدُهُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ نَاشِفَةٍ وَمُقْفِرَةٍ. مُقَدَّمَتُهُ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ، وَسَاقَتُهُ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْغَرْبِيِّ، فَيَصْعَدُ نَتَنُهُ، وَتَطْلُعُ زُهْمَتُهُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَصَلَّفَ فِي عَمَلِهِ». ٢٠ 20
And I will chase away from you the northern [adversary], and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his ill savor shall come up, and his stink come up, because he has wrought great things.
لَا تَخَافِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ. ٱبْتَهِجِي وَٱفْرَحِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُعَظِّمُ عَمَلَهُ. ٢١ 21
Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord has done great things.
لَا تَخَافِي يَا بَهَائِمَ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ، فَإِنَّ مَرَاعِيَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ تَنْبُتُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَشْجَارَ تَحْمِلُ ثَمَرَهَا، ٱلتِّينَةُ وَٱلْكَرْمَةُ تُعْطِيَانِ قُوَّتَهُمَا. ٢٢ 22
Be of good courage, you beasts of the plain, for the plains of the wilderness have budded, for the trees have borne their fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded their strength.
وَيَا بَنِي صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱبْتَهِجُوا وَٱفْرَحُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ يُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلْمَطَرَ ٱلْمُبَكِّرَ عَلَى حَقِّهِ، وَيُنْزِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَطَرًا مُبَكِّرًا وَمُتَأَخِّرًا فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْوَقْتِ، ٢٣ 23
Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Sion, in the Lord your God: for he has given you food fully, and he will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.
فَتُمْلَأُ ٱلْبَيَادِرُ حِنْطَةً، وَتَفِيضُ حِيَاضُ ٱلْمَعَاصِرِ خَمْرًا وَزَيْتًا. ٢٤ 24
And the floors shall be filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
«وَأُعَوِّضُ لَكُمْ عَنِ ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلَّتِي أَكَلَهَا ٱلْجَرَادُ، ٱلْغَوْغَاءُ وَٱلطَّيَّارُ وَٱلْقَمَصُ، جَيْشِي ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ. ٢٥ 25
And I will recompense you for the years which the locust, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, and the cankerworm have eaten, [even] my great army, which I sent against you.
فَتَأْكُلُونَ أَكْلًا وَتَشْبَعُونَ وَتُسَبِّحُونَ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ مَعَكُمْ عَجَبًا، وَلَا يَخْزَى شَعْبِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٢٦ 26
And you shall eat abundantly, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God [for the things] which he has wrought wonderfully with you: and my people shall not be ashamed for ever.
وَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا فِي وَسْطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي. وَلَا يَخْزَى شَعْبِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٢٧ 27
And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I am the Lord your God, and [that] there is none else beside me; and my people shall no more be ashamed for ever.
«وَيَكُونُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، فَيَتَنَبَّأُ بَنُوكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ، وَيَحْلَمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أَحْلَامًا، وَيَرَى شَبَابُكُمْ رُؤًى. ٢٨ 28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
وَعَلَى ٱلْعَبِيدِ أَيْضًا وَعَلَى ٱلْإِمَاءِ أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، ٢٩ 29
And on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
وَأُعْطِي عَجَائِبَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، دَمًا وَنَارًا وَأَعْمِدَةَ دُخَانٍ. ٣٠ 30
And I will show wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
تَتَحَوَّلُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِلَى ظُلْمَةٍ، وَٱلْقَمَرُ إِلَى دَمٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْمَخُوفُ. ٣١ 31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَنْجُو. لِأَنَّهُ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تَكُونُ نَجَاةٌ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَبَيْنَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٢ 32
And it shall come to pass [that] whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion and in Jerusalem shall the saved one be as the Lord has said, and they that have glad tidings preached to them, whom the Lord has called.
