AVD
قَدِ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلْمِقْمَعَةُ عَلَى وَجْهِكِ. ٱحْرُسِ ٱلْحِصْنَ. رَاقِبِ ٱلطَّرِيقَ. شَدِّدِ ٱلْحَقْوَيْنِ. مَكِّنِ ٱلْقُوَّةَ جِدًّا.
BSB
BSB:
One who scatters advances against you, O Nineveh. Guard the fortress! Watch the road! Brace yourselves! Summon all your strength!
2
AVD
فَإِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَرُدُّ عَظَمَةَ يَعْقُوبَ كَعَظَمَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّالِبِينَ قَدْ سَلَبُوهُمْ وَأَتْلَفُوا قُضْبَانَ كُرُومِهِمْ.
BSB
BSB:
For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though destroyers have laid them waste and ruined the branches of their vine.
3
AVD
تُرْسُ أَبْطَالِهِ مُحَمَّرٌ. رِجَالُ ٱلْجَيْشِ قِرْمِزِيُّونَ. ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتُ بِنَارِ ٱلْفُولَاذِ فِي يَوْمِ إِعْدَادِهِ. وَٱلسَّرْوُ يَهْتَزُّ.
BSB
BSB:
The shields of his mighty men are red; the valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of cypress have been brandished.
4
AVD
تَهِيجُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتُ فِي ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ. تَتَرَاكَضُ فِي ٱلسَّاحَاتِ. مَنْظَرُهَا كَمَصَابِيحَ. تَجْرِي كَٱلْبُرُوقِ.
BSB
BSB:
The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning.
5
AVD
يَذْكُرُ عُظَمَاءَهُ. يَتَعَثَّرُونَ فِي مَشْيِهِمْ. يُسْرِعُونَ إِلَى سُورِهَا، وَقَدْ أُقِيمَتِ ٱلْمِتْرَسَةُ.
BSB
BSB:
He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.
6
AVD
أَبْوَابُ ٱلْأَنْهَارِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ، وَٱلْقَصْرُ قَدْ ذَابَ.
BSB
BSB:
The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.
7
AVD
وَهُصَّبُ قَدِ ٱنْكَشَفَتْ. أُطْلِعَتْ. وَجَوَارِيهَا تَئِنُّ كَصَوْتِ ٱلْحَمَامِ ضَارِبَاتٍ عَلَى صُدُورِهِنَّ.
BSB
BSB:
It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.
8
AVD
وَنِينَوَى كَبِرْكَةِ مَاءٍ مُنْذُ كَانَتْ، وَلَكِنَّهُمُ ٱلْآنَ هَارِبُونَ. «قِفُوا، قِفُوا!» وَلَا مُلْتَفِتٌ.
BSB
BSB:
Nineveh has been like a pool of water throughout her days, but now it is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.
9
AVD
اِنْهَبُوا فِضَّةً. اِنْهَبُوا ذَهَبًا، فَلَا نِهَايَةَ لِلتُّحَفِ لِلْكَثْرَةِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَتَاعٍ شَهِيٍّ.
BSB
BSB:
“Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!” There is no end to the treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
10
AVD
فَرَاغٌ وَخَلَاءٌ وَخَرَابٌ، وَقَلْبٌ ذَائِبٌ وَٱرْتِخَاءُ رُكَبٍ وَوَجَعٌ فِي كُلِّ حَقْوٍ. وَأَوْجُهُ جَمِيعِهِمْ تَجْمَعُ حُمْرَةً.
BSB
BSB:
She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and laid waste! Hearts melt, knees knock, bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
11
AVD
أَيْنَ مَأْوَى ٱلْأُسُودِ وَمَرْعَى أَشْبَالِ ٱلْأُسُودِ؟ حَيْثُ يَمْشِي ٱلْأَسَدُ وَٱللَّبُوَةُ وَشِبْلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُخَوِّفُ.
BSB
BSB:
Where is the lions’ lair or the feeding ground of the young lions, where the lion and lioness prowled with their cubs, with nothing to frighten them away?
12
AVD
ٱلْأَسَدُ ٱلْمُفْتَرِسُ لِحَاجةِ جِرَائِهِ، وَٱلْخَانِقُ لِأَجْلِ لَبُوَاتِهِ حَتَّى مَلَأَ مَغَارَاتِهِ فَرَائِسَ وَمَآوِيَهُ مُفْتَرَسَاتٍ.
BSB
BSB:
The lion mauled enough for its cubs and strangled prey for the lioness. It filled its dens with the kill, and its lairs with mauled prey.
13
AVD
«هَا أَنَا عَلَيْكِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. فَأُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِكِ دُخَانًا، وَأَشْبَالُكِ يَأْكُلُهَا ٱلسَّيْفُ، وَأَقْطَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَرَائِسَكِ، وَلَا يُسْمَعُ أَيْضًا صَوْتُ رُسُلُكِ».
BSB
BSB:
“Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will reduce your chariots to cinders, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voices of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
