Chapter:
002
V 001 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of
the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
V 002 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick
darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a
strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more
after it, even to the years of many generations.
V 003 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the
land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate
wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
V 004 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as
horsemen, so shall they run.
V 005 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they
leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a
strong people set in battle array.
V 006 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall
gather blackness.
V 007 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men
of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not
break their ranks:
V 008 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his
path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
V 009 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the
wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the
windows like a thief.
V 010 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the
sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their
shining:
V 011 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp
is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of
the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
V 012 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all
your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
V 013 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD
your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
V 014 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing
behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your
God?
V 015 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
V 016 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders,
gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom
go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
V 017 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch
and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not
thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them:
wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
V 018 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
V 019 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will
send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith:
and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
V 020 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will
drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east
sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come
up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
V 021 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great
things.
V 022 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the
wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and
the vine do yield their strength.
V 023 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your
God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause
to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in
the first month.
V 024 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow
with wine and oil.
V 025 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,
the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army
which I sent among you.
V 026 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name
of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people
shall never be ashamed.
V 027 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am
the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
V 028 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my
spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
V 029 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days
will I pour out my spirit.
V 030 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood,
and fire, and pillars of smoke.
V 031 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
V 032 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name
of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall
be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD
shall call. |

فصل
2
يوم الرب المقبل
1-
انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَأَطْلِقُوا نَفِيرَ الإِنْذَارِ
فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، وَلْيَرْتَعِدْ جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّ
يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ مُقْبِلٌ وَقَدْ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً.
2-
هُوَ يَوْمُ ظُلْمَةٍ
وَتَجَهُّمٍ، يَوْمُ غُيُومٍ مُكْفَهِرَّةٍ وَقَتَامٍ دَامِسٍ،فِيهِ
تَزْحَفُ أُمَّةٌ قَوِيَّةٌ وَعَظِيمَةٌ كَمَا يَزْحَفُ الظَّلامُ عَلَى
الْجِبَالِ، أُمَّةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا شَبِيهٌ فِي سَالِفِ الزَّمَانِ،
وَلَنْ يَكُونَ لَهَا نَظِيرٌ مِنْ بَعْدِهَا عَبْرَ سِنِي الأَجْيَالِ.
3-
تَلْتَهِمُ النَّارُ مَا أَمَامَهَا، وَيُحْرِقُ اللهِيبُ مَا خَلْفَهَا.
الأَرْضُ قُدَّامَهَا كَجَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَخَلْفَهَا صَحْرَاءُ مُوْحِشَةٌ،
وَلاَ شَيْءَ يَنْجُو مِنْهَا.
4-
مَنْظَرُهُمْ كَالْخُيُولِ، وَكَأَفْرَاسِ
الْحَرْبِ يَرْكُضُونَ.
5-
يَثِبُونَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ الْجِبَالِ فِي جَلَبَةٍ
كَجَلَبَةِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ، كَفَرْقَعَةِ لَهِيبِ نَارٍ يَلْتَهِمُ
الْقَشَّ، وَكَجَيْشٍ عَاتٍ مُصْطَفٍّ لِلْقِتَالِ.
6-
تَنْتَابُ الرِّعْدَةُ
مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ وَتَشْحَبُ كُلُّ الْوُجُوهِ.
7-
يَنْدَفِعُونَ
كَالْجَبَابِرَةِ وَكَرِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ يَتَسَلَّقُونَ السُّورَ، وَكُلٌّ
مِنْهُمْ يَزْحَفُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ لاَ يَحِيدُ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ.
8-
لاَ
يُزَاحِمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً. بَلْ يَتَقَدَّمُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ فِي
طَرِيقِهِ. يَنْسَلُّونَ بَيْنَ الأَسْلِحَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ
يَتَوَقَّفُوا.
9-
يَنْقَضُّونَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَيَتَوَاثَبُونَ فَوْقَ
الأَسْوَارِ، يَتَسَلَّقُونَ الْبُيُوتَ وَيَتَسَلَّلُونَ مِنَ الْكُوَى
كَاللِّصِّ.
10-
تَرْتَعِدُ الأَرْضُ أَمَامَهُمْ وَتَرْجُفُ السَّمَاءُ،
تُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، وَتَكُفُّ الْكَوَاكِبُ عَنِ الضِّيَاءِ.
11-
يَجْهَرُ الرَّبُّ بِصَوْتِهِ فِي مُقَدَّمَةِ جَيْشِهِ لأَنَّ جُنْدَهُ
لاَ يُحْصَى لَهُمْ عَدَدٌ، وَمَنْ يُنَفِّذُ أَمْرَهُ يَكُونُ
مُقْتَدِراً، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ عَظِيمٌ وَمُخِيفٌ جِدّاً، فَمَنْ
يَتَحَمَّلُهُ؟
نداء للتوبة
12- وَالآنَ،
يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ بِصَوْمٍ
وَبُكَاءٍ وَنَوْحٍ.
13- مَزِّقُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لاَ ثِيَابَكُمْ. ارْجِعُوا
إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لأَنَّهُ رَؤُوفٌ وَرَحِيمٌ بَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ
وَكَثِيرُ الرَّأْفَةِ، وَلاَ يُسَرُّ بِالْعِقَابِ.
14- لَعَلَّهُ يَرْجِعُ
وَيَكُفُّ عَنِ الْعِقَابِ مُخْلِفاً وَرَاءَهُ بَرَكَةً: تَقْدِمَةَ
دَقِيقٍ وَتَقْدِمَةَ سَكِيبٍ لِتُقَرِّبُوهُمَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.
15- انْفُخُوا
بِالْبُوقِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَقَدِّسُوا صَوْماً، وَنَادُوا لِمَحْفَلٍ
مُقَدَّسٍ.
16- اجْمَعُوا الشَّعْبَ، قَدِّسُوا الْجَمَاعَةَ، احْشُدُوا
الشُّيُوخَ وَالأَوْلادَ وَالرُّضَّعَ. لِيُغَادِرِ الْعَرِيسُ مُخْدَعَهُ
وَالْعَرُوسُ حُجْرَتَهَا.
17- لِيَبْكِ الْكَهَنَةُ خُدَّامُ الرَّبِّ
بَيْنَ الرُّوَاقِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ قَائِلِينَ: «اعْفُ عَنْ شَعْبِكَ
يَارَبُّ وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مِيرَاثَكَ مَثَارَ احْتِقَارٍ وَهُزْءٍ بَيْنَ
الأُمَمِ، فَيَقُولُوا بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُهُمْ؟»
الخلاص يعقب التوبة
18- عِنْدَئِذٍ
يَغَارُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى أَرْضِهِ ويَرِقُّ لِشَعْبِهِ.
19- وَيُجِيبُهُمْ
قَائِلاً: هَا أَنَا أُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالْخَمْرَةِ
وَالزَّيْتِ فَتَشْبَعُونَ مِنْهَا، وَلاَ أَجْعَلُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدُ عَاراً
بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.
20- سَأَطْرُدُ عَنْكُمُ الشِّمَالِيَّ، وَأَطُوِّحُ بِهِ
إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُقْفِرَةٍ مُوْحِشَةٍ فَتَكُونُ طَلِيعَتُهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ
الْمَيْتِ وَمُؤَخِّرَتُهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ الأَبْيَضِ، فَتَمْلأُ رَائِحَةُ
نَتَنِهِ وَعُفُونَتِهِ الْفَضَاءَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَ الْكَبَائِرَ.
21- لاَ
تَخَافِي أَيَّتُهَا الأَرْضُ، ابْتَهِجِي وَافْرَحِي لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ
صَنَعَ عَظَائِمَ.
22- لاَ تَخَافِي يَابَهَائِمَ الْحَقْلِ،
لأَنَّ مَرَاعِيَ الْبَرِّ قَدْ أَضْحَتْ خَضْرَاءَ،
وَالأَشْجَارَ بَاتَتْ مُثَقَّلَةً بِالثِّمَارِ، وَشَجَرَةَ التِّينِ
وَالْكَرْمَةَ تَجُودَانِ بِنِتَاجِهِمَا.
23-
افْرَحُوا يَاأَبْنَاءَ
صِهْيَوْنَ، ابْتَهِجُوا بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لأَنَّهُ أَنْعَمَ
عَلَيْكُمْ بِفَضْلِ صَلاَحِهِ بِأَمْطَارِ الْخَرِيفِ، وَسَكَبَ
عَلَيْكُمُ الْغَيْثَ الْمُبَكِّرَ وَالْمُتَأَخِّرَ بِغَزَارَةٍ،
كَالسَّابِقِ.
24-
فَتَمْتَلِيءُ الْبَيَادِرُ بِأَكْوَامِ الْقَمْحِ،
وَتَتَدَفَّقُ الْمَعَاصِرُ بِالْخَمْرَةِ وَالزَّيْتِ.
25-
وَأُعَوِّضُكُمْ
عَنْ مَحَاصِيلِ السِّنِينَ الَّتِي الْتَهَمَهَا الْجَرَادُ وَالْجَنْدُبُ
وَالطَّيَّارُ وَالْقَمَصُ، جَيْشِي الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أَطْلَقْتُهُ
عَلَيْكُمْ.
26-
فَتَأْكُلُونَ بِوَفْرَةٍ وَتَشْبَعُونَ وَتُسَبِّحُونَ
اسْمَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الَّذِي أَجْرَى لَكُمُ الْعَجَائِبَ، وَلَنْ
يَخْزَى شَعْبِي ثَانِيَةً.
27-
فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي فِي وَسَطِ
إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَلَيْسَ غَيْرِي،
وَلَنْ يَخْزَى شَعْبِي ثَانِيَةً.
الوعد بانسكاب الروح
28- ثُمَّ
أَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، فَيَتَنَبَّأُ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ
وَبَنَاتُكُمْ، وَيَحْلَمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أَحْلاماً وَيَرَى شَبَابُكُمْ
رًُؤى.
29-
وَأَسْكُبُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ أَيْضاً رُوحِي عَلَى
الْعَبِيدِ وَالإِمَاءِ.
30- وَأُجْرِي آيَاتٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى
الأَرْضِ، دَماً وَنَاراً وَأَعْمِدَةَ دُخَانٍ.
31- وَتَتَحَوَّلُ الشَّمْسُ
إِلَى ظَلاَمٍ، وَالْقَمَرُ إِلَى دَمٍ، قَبْلَ مَجِيءِ يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ
الْعَظِيمِ الْمُخِيفِ.
32- إِنَّمَا كُلُّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ
يَخْلُصُ، لأَنَّ النَّجَاةَ تَكُونُ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي
أُورُشَلِيمَ، كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ، إِذْ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ النَّاجِينَ مَنْ
يَدْعُوهُ الرَّبُّ.
