Micah — Chapter 1

1	The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, {and} Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.	قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى مِيخَا ٱلْمُورَشْتِيِّ فِي أَيَّامِ يُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، ٱلَّذِي رَآهُ عَلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ:
2	Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. {all ye...: Heb. ye people, all of them} {all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}	اِسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ جَمِيعُكُمْ. أَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا. وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمُ، ٱلسَّيِّدُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِهِ.
3	For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.	فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَيَنْزِلُ وَيَمْشِي عَلَى شَوَامِخِ ٱلْأَرْضِ،
4	And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, {and} as the waters {that are} poured down a steep place. {a steep...: Heb. a descent}	فَتَذُوبُ ٱلْجِبَالُ تَحْتَهُ، وَتَنْشَقُّ ٱلْوِدْيَانُ كَٱلشَّمْعِ قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّارِ. كَٱلْمَاءِ ٱلْمُنْصَبِّ فِي مُنْحَدَرٍ.
5	For the transgression of Jacob {is} all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What {is} the transgression of Jacob? {is it} not Samaria? and what {are} the high places of Judah? {are they} not Jerusalem?	كُلُّ هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيَّةِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. مَا هُوَ ذَنْبُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ؟ وَمَا هِيَ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ يَهُوذَا؟ أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟
6	Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, {and} as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.	«فَأَجْعَلُ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ خَرِبَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، مَغَارِسَ لِلْكُرُومِ، وَأُلْقِي حِجَارَتَهَا إِلَى ٱلْوَادِي، وَأَكْشِفُ أُسُسَهَا.
7	And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered {it} of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.	وَجَمِيعُ تَمَاثِيلِهَا ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ تُحَطَّمُ، وَكُلُّ أَعْقَارِهَا تُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَجَمِيعُ أَصْنَامِهَا أَجْعَلُهَا خَرَابًا، لِأَنَّهَا مِنْ عُقْرِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ جَمَعَتْهَا وَإِلَى عُقْرِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ تَعُودُ».
8	Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. {owls: Heb. daughters of the owl}	مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنُوحُ وَأُوَلْوِلُ. أَمْشِي حَافِيًا وَعُرْيَانًا. أَصْنَعُ نَحِيبًا كَبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَنَوْحًا كَرِعَالِ ٱلنَّعَامِ.
9	For her wound {is} incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, {even} to Jerusalem. {her...: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}	لِأَنَّ جِرَاحَاتِهَا عَدِيمَةُ ٱلشِّفَاءِ، لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ أَتَتْ إِلَى يَهُوذَا، وَصَلَتْ إِلَى بَابِ شَعْبِي إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.
10	Declare ye {it} not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. {Aphrah: that is, Dust}	لَا تُخْبِرُوا فِي جَتَّ، لَا تَبْكُوا فِي عَكَّاءَ. تَمَرَّغِي فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ فِي بَيْتِ عَفْرَةَ.
11	Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing. {thou...: or, thou that dwellest fairly} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {Zaanan: or, The country of flocks} {Bethezel: or, A place near}	اُعْبُرِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ شَافِيرَ عُرْيَانَةً وَخَجِلَةً. ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي صَانَانَ لَا تَخْرُجُ. نَوْحُ بَيْتِ هَأَيْصِلَ يَأْخُذُ عِنْدَكُمْ مَقَامَهُ،
12	For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {waited...: or, was grieved}	لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّاكِنَةَ فِي مَارُوثَ ٱغْتَمَّتْ لِأَجْلِ خَيْرَاتِهَا، لِأَنَّ شَرًّا قَدْ نَزَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى بَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.
13	O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she {is} the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}	شُدِّي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ بِٱلْجَوَادِ يَا سَاكِنَةَ لَاخِيشَ، هِيَ أَوَّلُ خَطِيَّةٍ لِٱبْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيكِ وُجِدَتْ ذُنُوبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
14	Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib {shall be} a lie to the kings of Israel. {to...: or, for Moreshethgath} {Achzib: that is, A lie}	لِذَلِكَ تُعْطِينَ إِطْلَاقًا لِمُورَشَةِ جَتَّ. تَصِيرُ بُيُوتُ أَكْزِيبَ كَاذِبَةً لِمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
15	Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {he...: or, the glory of Israel shall, etc}	آتِي إِلَيْكِ أَيْضًا بِٱلْوَارِثِ يَا سَاكِنَةَ مَرِيشَةَ. يَأْتِي إِلَى عَدُلَّامَ مَجْدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
16	Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.	كُونِي قَرْعَاءَ وَجُزِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنِي تَنَعُّمِكِ. وَسِّعِي قَرْعَتَكِ كَٱلنَّسْرِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْتَفَوْا عَنْكِ.

Micah — Chapter 2

1	Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.	وَيْلٌ لِلْمُفْتَكِرِينَ بِٱلْبُطْلِ، وَٱلصَّانِعِينَ ٱلشَّرَّ عَلَى مَضَاجِعِهِمْ! فِي نُورِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ يَفْعَلُونَهُ لِأَنَّهُ فِي قُدْرَةِ يَدِهِمْ.
2	And they covet fields, and take {them} by violence; and houses, and take {them} away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. {oppress: or, defraud}	فَإِنَّهُمْ يَشْتَهُونَ ٱلْحُقُولَ وَيَغْتَصِبُونَهَا، وَٱلْبُيُوتَ وَيَأْخُذُونَهَا، وَيَظْلِمُونَ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَبَيْتَهُ وَٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَمِيرَاثَهُ.
3	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time {is} evil.	لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَأَنَذَا أَفْتَكِرُ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْعَشِيرَةِ بِشَرٍّ لَا تُزِيلُونَ مِنْهُ أَعْنَاقَكُمْ، وَلَا تَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلتَّشَامُخِ لِأَنَّهُ زَمَانٌ رَدِيءٌ.
4	In that day shall {one} take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, {and} say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed {it} from me! turning away he hath divided our fields. {a doleful...: Heb. a lamentation of lamentations} {turning...: or, instead of restoring}	«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يُنْطَقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَجْوٍ وَيُرْثَى بِمَرْثَاةٍ، وَيُقَالُ: خَرِبْنَا خَرَابًا. بَدَلَ نَصِيبِ شَعْبِي. كَيْفَ يَنْزِعُهُ عَنِّي؟ يَقْسِمُ لِلْمُرْتَدِّ حُقُولَنَا».
5	Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.	لِذَلِكَ لَا يَكُونُ لَكَ مَنْ يُلْقِي حَبْلًا فِي نَصِيبٍ بَيْنَ جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.
6	Prophesy ye not, {say they to them that} prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, {that} they shall not take shame. {Prophesy ye...: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}	يَتَنَبَّأُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَا تَتَنَبَّأُوا». لَا يَتَنَبَّأُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. لَا يَزُولُ ٱلْعَارُ.
7	O {thou that art} named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? {are} these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? {straitened: or, shortened?} {uprightly: Heb. upright?}	أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُسَمَّى بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَلْ قَصُرَتْ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ أَهَذِهِ أَفْعَالُهُ؟ «أَلَيْسَتْ أَقْوَالِي صَالِحَةً نَحْوَ مَنْ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ؟
8	Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. {of late: Heb. yesterday} {with the: Heb. over against a}	وَلَكِنْ بِٱلْأَمْسِ قَامَ شَعْبِي كَعَدُوٍّ. تَنْزِعُونَ ٱلرِّدَاءَ عَنِ ٱلثَّوْبِ مِنَ ٱلْمُجْتَازِينَ بِٱلطُّمَأْنِينَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلرَّاجِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلْقِتَالِ.
9	The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. {women: or, wives}	تَطْرُدُونَ نِسَاءَ شَعْبِي مِنْ بَيْتِ تَنَعُّمِهِنَّ. تَأْخُذُونَ عَنْ أَطْفَالِهِنَّ زِينَتِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.
10	Arise ye, and depart; for this {is} not {your} rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy {you}, even with a sore destruction.	«قُومُوا وَٱذْهَبُوا، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلرَّاحَةَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ نَجَاسَةٍ تُهْلِكُ وَٱلْهَلَاكُ شَدِيدٌ.
11	If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, {saying}, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. {walking...: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely}	لَوْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ سَالِكٌ بِٱلرِّيحِ وَٱلْكَذِبِ يَكْذِبُ قَائِلًا: أَتَنَبَّأُ لَكَ عَنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمُسْكِرِ لَكَانَ هُوَ نَبِيَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ!
12	I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of {the multitude of} men.	«إِنِّي أَجْمَعُ جَمِيعَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ. أَضُمُّ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَضَعُهُمْ مَعًا كَغَنَمِ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، كَقَطِيعٍ فِي وَسَطِ مَرْعَاهُ يَضِجُّ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ.
13	The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.	قَدْ صَعِدَ ٱلْفَاتِكُ أَمَامَهُمْ. يَقْتَحِمُونَ وَيَعْبُرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ، وَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ، وَيَجْتَازُ مَلِكُهُمْ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَٱلرَّبُّ فِي رَأْسِهِمْ».

Micah — Chapter 3

1	And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; {Is it} not for you to know judgment?	وَقُلْتُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا يَا رُؤَسَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَقُضَاةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا ٱلْحَقَّ؟
2	Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;	ٱلْمُبْغِضِينَ ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلْمُحِبِّينَ ٱلشَّرَّ، ٱلنَّازِعِينَ جُلُودَهُمْ عَنْهُمْ، وَلَحْمَهُمْ عَنْ عِظَامِهِمْ.
3	Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.	وَٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمَ شَعْبِي، وَيَكْشُطُونَ جِلْدَهُمْ عَنْهُمْ، وَيُهَشِّمُونَ عِظَامَهُمْ، وَيُشَقِّقُونَ كَمَا فِي ٱلْقِدْرِ، وَكَٱللَّحْمِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمِقْلَى».
4	Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.	حِينَئِذٍ يَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يُجِيبُهُمْ، بَلْ يَسْتُرُ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ كَمَا أَسَاءُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ.
5	Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.	هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَ شَعْبِي، ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْهَشُونَ بِأَسْنَانِهِمْ، وَيُنَادُونَ: «سَلَامٌ»! وَٱلَّذِي لَا يَجْعَلُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ شَيْئًا، يَفْتَحُونَ عَلَيْهِ حَرْبًا:
6	Therefore night {shall be} unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. {that...: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that...: divine: Heb. from divining}	«لِذَلِكَ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةٌ بِلَا رُؤْيَا. ظَلَامٌ لَكُمْ بِدُونِ عِرَافَةٍ. وَتَغِيبُ ٱلشَّمْسُ عَنِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَيُظْلِمُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلنَّهَارُ.
7	Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for {there is} no answer of God. {lips: Heb. upper lip}	فَيَخْزَى ٱلرَّاؤُونَ، وَيَخْجَلُ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ، وَيُغَطُّونَ كُلُّهُمْ شَوَارِبَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ جَوَابٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ».
8	But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.	لَكِنَّنِي أَنَا مَلْآنٌ قُوَّةَ رُوحِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَحَقًّا وَبَأْسًا، لِأُخَبِّرَ يَعْقُوبَ بِذَنْبِهِ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ.
9	Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.	اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا رُؤَسَاءَ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَقُضَاةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْرَهُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيُعَوِّجُونَ كُلَّ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
10	They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. {blood: Heb. bloods}	ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْنُونَ صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱلدِّمَاءِ، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ بِٱلظُّلْمِ.
11	The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, {Is} not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}	رُؤَسَاؤُهَا يَقْضُونَ بِٱلرَّشْوَةِ، وَكَهَنَتُهَا يُعَلِّمُونَ بِٱلْأُجْرَةِ، وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهَا يَعْرِفُونَ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَهُمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِنَا؟ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا شَرٌّ!».
12	Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed {as} a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.	لِذَلِكَ بِسَبَبِكُمْ تُفْلَحُ صِهْيَوْنُ كَحَقْلٍ، وَتَصِيرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ خِرَبًا، وَجَبَلُ ٱلْبَيْتِ شَوَامِخَ وَعْرٍ.

Micah — Chapter 4

1	But in the last days it shall come to pass, {that} the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.	وَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ جَبَلَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ ٱلتِّلَالِ، وَتَجْرِي إِلَيْهِ شُعُوبٌ.
2	And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.	وَتَسِيرُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَيَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَإِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ، فَيُعَلِّمَنَا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ». لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ تَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.
3	And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}	فَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ. يُنْصِفُ لِأُمَمٍ قَوِيَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَيَطْبَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ سِكَكًا، وَرِمَاحَهُمْ مَنَاجِلَ. لَا تَرْفَعُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ ٱلْحَرْبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
4	But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make {them} afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken {it}.	بَلْ يَجْلِسُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُرْعِبُ، لِأَنَّ فَمَ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ تَكَلَّمَ.
5	For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.	لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ يَسْلُكُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِٱسْمِ إِلَهِهِ، وَنَحْنُ نَسْلُكُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.
6	In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;	«فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَجْمَعُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ، وَأَضُمُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَةَ، وَٱلَّتِي أَضْرَرْتُ بِهَا
7	And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.	وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ بَقِيَّةً، وَٱلْمُقْصَاةَ أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً، وَيَمْلِكُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.
8	And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.	وَأَنْتَ يَا بُرْجَ ٱلْقَطِيعِ، أَكَمَةَ بِنْتِ صِهْيَوْنَ إِلَيْكِ يَأْتِي. وَيَجِيءُ ٱلْحُكْمُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ مُلْكُ بِنْتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ».
9	Now why dost thou cry out aloud? {is there} no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.	اَلْآنَ لِمَاذَا تَصْرُخِينَ صُرَاخًا؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكِ مَلِكٌ، أَمْ هَلَكَ مُشِيرُكِ حَتَّى أَخَذَكِ وَجَعٌ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ؟
10	Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go {even} to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.	تَلَوَّيِ، ٱدْفَعِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ كَٱلْوَالِدَةِ، لِأَنَّكِ ٱلْآنَ تَخْرُجِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَتَسْكُنِينَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَأْتِينَ إِلَى بَابِلَ. هُنَاكَ تُنْقَذِينَ. هُنَاكَ يَفْدِيكِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِكِ.
11	Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.	وَٱلْآنَ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكِ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: «لِتَتَدَنَّسْ وَلْتَتَفَرَّسْ عُيُونُنَا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».
12	But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.	وَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَفْكَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ قَصْدَهُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ كَحُزَمٍ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ.
13	Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.	«قُومِي وَدُوسِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْعَلُ قَرْنَكِ حَدِيدًا، وَأَظْلَافَكِ أَجْعَلُهَا نُحَاسًا، فَتَسْحَقِينَ شُعُوبًا كَثِيرِينَ، وَأُحَرِّمُ غَنِيمَتَهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ، وَثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِسَيِّدِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

Micah — Chapter 5

1	Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.	اَلْآنَ تَتَجَيَّشِينَ يَا بِنْتَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ. قَدْ أَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا مِتْرَسَةً. يَضْرِبُونَ قَاضِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِقَضِيبٍ عَلَى خَدِّهِ.
2	But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, {though} thou be little among the thousands of Judah, {yet} out of thee shall he come forth unto me {that is} to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth {have been} from of old, from everlasting. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}	«أَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا بَيْتَ لَحْمِ أَفْرَاتَةَ، وَأَنْتِ صَغِيرَةٌ أَنْ تَكُونِي بَيْنَ أُلُوفِ يَهُوذَا، فَمِنْكِ يَخْرُجُ لِي ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَخَارِجُهُ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ ٱلْأَزَلِ».
3	Therefore will he give them up, until the time {that} she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.	لِذَلِكَ يُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى حِينَمَا تَكُونُ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ وَالِدَةٌ، ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُ بَقِيَّةُ إِخْوَتِهِ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.
4	And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. {feed or, rule}	وَيَقِفُ وَيَرْعَى بِقُدْرَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بِعَظَمَةِ ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، وَيَثْبُتُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يَتَعَظَّمُ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.
5	And this {man} shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. {principal: Heb. princes of}	وَيَكُونُ هَذَا سَلَامًا. إِذَا دَخَلَ أَشُّورُ فِي أَرْضِنَا، وَإِذَا دَاسَ فِي قُصُورِنَا، نُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَةَ رُعَاةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةً مِنْ أُمَرَاءِ ٱلنَّاسِ،
6	And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver {us} from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. {waste: Heb. eat up} {in the...: or, with her own naked swords}	فَيَرْعَوْنَ أَرْضَ أَشُّورَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَرْضَ نِمْرُودَ فِي أَبْوَابِهَا، فَيَنْفُذُ مِنْ أَشُّورَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَرْضَنَا وَإِذَا دَاسَ تُخُومَنَا.
7	And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.	وَتَكُونُ بَقِيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ فِي وَسَطِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلنَّدَى مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَٱلْوَابِلِ عَلَى ٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَنْتَظِرُ إِنْسَانًا وَلَا يَصْبِرُ لِبَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ.
8	And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. {sheep: or, goats}	وَتَكُونُ بَقِيَّةُ يَعْقُوبَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ فِي وَسَطِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلْأَسَدِ بَيْنَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْوَعْرِ، كَشِبْلِ ٱلْأَسَدِ بَيْنَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ، ٱلَّذِي إِذَا عَبَرَ يَدُوسُ وَيَفْتَرِسُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُ.
9	Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.	لِتَرْتَفِعْ يَدُكَ عَلَى مُبْغِضِيكَ وَيَنْقَرِضْ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِكَ.
10	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:	«وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنِّي أَقْطَعُ خَيْلَكَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ، وَأُبِيدُ مَرْكَبَاتِكَ.
11	And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:	وَأَقْطَعُ مُدُنَ أَرْضِكَ، وَأَهْدِمُ كُلَّ حُصُونِكَ.
12	And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no {more} soothsayers:	وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلسِّحْرَ مِنْ يَدِكَ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لَكَ عَائِفُونَ.
13	Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. {standing...: or, statues}	وَأَقْطَعُ تَمَاثِيلَكَ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةَ وَأَنْصَابَكَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ، فَلَا تَسْجُدُ لِعَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
14	And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. {cities: or, enemies}	وَأَقْلَعُ سَوَارِيَكَ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ وَأُبِيدُ مُدُنَكَ.
15	And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.	وَبِغَضَبٍ وَغَيْظٍ أَنْتَقِمُ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا».

Micah — Chapter 6

1	Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. {before: or, with}	اِسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قُمْ خَاصِمْ لَدَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَلْتَسْمَعِ ٱلتِّلَالُ صَوْتَكَ.
2	Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.	اِسْمَعِي خُصُومَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ وَيَا أُسُسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلدَّائِمَةَ. فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ:
3	O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.	«يَا شَعْبِي، مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ بِكَ وَبِمَاذَا أَضْجَرْتُكَ؟ ٱشْهَدْ عَلَيَّ!
4	For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.	إِنِّي أَصْعَدْتُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفَكَكْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ.
5	O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.	يَا شَعْبِي ٱذْكُرْ بِمَاذَا تَآمَرَ بَالَاقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، وَبِمَاذَا أَجَابَهُ بَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ، مِنْ شِطِّيمَ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ إِجَادَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ».
6	Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, {and} bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? {of a...: Heb. sons of a year?}	بِمَ أَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَنْحَنِي لِلإِلَهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ، بِعُجُولٍ أَبْنَاءِ سَنَةٍ؟
7	Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, {or} with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn {for} my transgression, the fruit of my body {for} the sin of my soul? {body: Heb. belly}	هَلْ يُسَرُّ ٱلرَّبُّ بِأُلُوفِ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، بِرِبَوَاتِ أَنْهَارِ زَيْتٍ؟ هَلْ أُعْطِي بِكْرِي عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِي، ثَمَرَةَ جَسَدِي عَنْ خَطِيَّةِ نَفْسِي؟
8	He hath shewed thee, O man, what {is} good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? {walk...: Heb. humble thyself to walk}	قَدْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ، وَمَاذَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَتُحِبَّ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ، وَتَسْلُكَ مُتَوَاضِعًا مَعَ إِلَهِكَ.
9	The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and {the man of} wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. {the man...: or, thy name shall see that which is}	صَوْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ يُنَادِي لِلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَرَى ٱسْمَكَ: «اِسْمَعُوا لِلْقَضِيبِ وَمَنْ رَسَمَهُ.
10	Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure {that is} abominable? {Are...: or, Is there yet unto every man an house of the, etc} {scant...: Heb. measure of leanness}	أَفِي بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بَعْدُ كُنُوزُ شَرٍّ وَإِيفَةٌ نَاقِصَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ؟
11	Shall I count {them} pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? {count...: or, be pure with, etc}	هَلْ أَتَزَكَّى مَعَ مَوَازِينِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَمَعَ كِيسِ مَعَايِيرِ ٱلْغِشِّ؟
12	For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue {is} deceitful in their mouth.	فَإِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَهَا مَلْآنُونَ ظُلْمًا، وَسُكَّانَهَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانَهُمْ فِي فَمِهِمْ غَاشٌّ.
13	Therefore also will I make {thee} sick in smiting thee, in making {thee} desolate because of thy sins.	فَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جُرُوحَكَ عَدِيمَةَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ، مُخْرِبًا مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكَ.
14	Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down {shall be} in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and {that} which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.	أَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَلَا تَشْبَعُ، وَجُوعُكَ فِي جَوْفِكَ. وَتُعَزِّلُ وَلَا تُنَجِّي، وَٱلَّذِي تُنَجِّيهِ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ.
15	Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.	أَنْتَ تَزْرَعُ وَلَا تَحْصُدُ. أَنْتَ تَدُوسُ زَيْتُونًا وَلَا تَدَّهِنُ بِزَيْتٍ، وَسُلَافَةً وَلَا تَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا.
16	For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people. {For the...: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}	وَتُحْفَظُ فَرَائِضُ: عُمْرِي، وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بَيْتِ: أَخْآبَ، وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِمَشُورَاتِهِمْ، لِكَيْ أُسَلِّمَكَ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَسُكَّانَهَا لِلصَّفِيرِ، فَتَحْمِلُونَ عَارَ شَعْبِي».

Micah — Chapter 7

1	Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: {there is} no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. {when...: Heb. the gatherings of summer}	وَيْلٌ لِي! لِأَنِّي صِرْتُ كَجَنَى ٱلصَّيْفِ، كَخُصَاصَةِ ٱلْقِطَافِ، لَا عُنْقُودَ لِلْأَكْلِ وَلَا بَاكُورَةَ تِينَةٍ ٱشْتَهَتْهَا نَفْسِي.
2	The good {man} is perished out of the earth: and {there is} none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. {good: or, godly, or, merciful}	قَدْ بَادَ ٱلتَّقِيُّ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَيْسَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ. جَمِيعُهُمْ يَكْمُنُونَ لِلدِّمَاءِ، يَصْطَادُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِشَبَكَةٍ.
3	That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge {asketh} for a reward; and the great {man}, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. {his...: Heb. the mischief of his soul}	اَلْيَدَانِ إِلَى ٱلشَّرِّ مُجْتَهِدَتَانِ. ٱلرَّئِيسُ طَالِبٌ وَٱلْقَاضِي بِٱلْهَدِيَّةِ، وَٱلْكَبِيرُ مُتَكَلِّمٌ بِهَوَى نَفْسِهِ فَيُعَكِّشُونَهَا.
4	The best of them {is} as a brier: the most upright {is sharper} than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen {and} thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.	أَحْسَنُهُمْ مِثْلُ ٱلْعَوْسَجِ، وَأَعْدَلُهُمْ مِنْ سِيَاجِ ٱلشَّوْكِ. يَوْمَ مُرَاقِبِيكَ عِقَابُكَ قَدْ جَاءَ. ٱلْآنَ يَكُونُ ٱرْتِبَاكُهُمْ.
5	Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.	لَا تَأْتَمِنُوا صَاحِبًا. لَا تَثِقُوا بِصَدِيقٍ. ٱحْفَظْ أَبْوَابَ فَمِكَ عَنِ ٱلْمُضْطَجِعَةِ فِي حِضْنِكَ.
6	For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies {are} the men of his own house.	لِأَنَّ ٱلِٱبْنَ مُسْتَهِينٌ بِٱلْأَبِ، وَٱلْبِنْتَ قَائِمَةٌ عَلَى أُمِّهَا، وَٱلْكَنَّةَ عَلَى حَمَاتِهَا، وَأَعْدَاءُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ.
7	Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.	وَلَكِنَّنِي أُرَاقِبُ ٱلرَّبَّ، أَصْبِرُ لِإِلَهِ خَلَاصِي. يَسْمَعُنِي إِلَهِي.
8	Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD {shall be} a light unto me.	لَا تَشْمَتِي بِي يَا عَدُوَّتِي، إِذَا سَقَطْتُ أَقُومُ. إِذَا جَلَسْتُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ فَٱلرَّبُّ نُورٌ لِي.
9	I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, {and} I shall behold his righteousness.	أَحْتَمِلُ غَضَبَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنِّي أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَيْهِ، حَتَّى يُقِيمَ دَعْوَايَ وَيُجْرِيَ حَقِّي. سَيُخْرِجُنِي إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ، سَأَنْظُرُ بِرَّهُ.
10	Then {she that is} mine enemy shall see {it}, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. {Then...: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame} {shall she...: Heb. she shall be for a treading down}	وَتَرَى عَدُوَّتِي فَيُغَطِّيهَا ٱلْخِزْيُ، ٱلْقَائِلَةُ لِي: «أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ؟» عَيْنَايَ سَتَنْظُرَانِ إِلَيْهَا. اَلْآنَ تَصِيرُ لِلدَّوْسِ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ.
11	{In} the day that thy walls are to be built, {in} that day shall the decree be far removed.	يَوْمَ بِنَاءِ حِيطَانِكِ، ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَبْعُدُ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.
12	{In} that day {also} he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and {from} the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and {from} mountain to mountain. {{and from} the fortified cities: or, even to the fortified cities}	هُوَ يَوْمٌ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْكِ مِنْ أَشُّورَ وَمُدُنِ مِصْرَ، وَمِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ. وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ. وَمِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.
13	Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. {Notwithstanding: or, After that it hath been}	وَلَكِنْ تَصِيرُ ٱلْأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً بِسَبَبِ سُكَّانِهَا، مِنْ أَجْلِ ثَمَرِ أَفْعَالِهِمْ.
14	Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily {in} the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed {in} Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. {Feed: or, Rule}	اِرْعَ بِعَصَاكَ شَعْبَكَ غَنَمَ مِيرَاثِكَ، سَاكِنَةً وَحْدَهَا فِي وَعْرٍ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ. لِتَرْعَ فِي بَاشَانَ وَجِلْعَادَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ.
15	According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous {things}.	«كَأَيَّامِ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ أُرِيهِ عَجَائِبَ».
16	The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay {their} hand upon {their} mouth, their ears shall be deaf.	يَنْظُرُ ٱلْأُمَمُ وَيَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَطْشِهِمْ. يَضَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَتَصُمُّ آذَانُهُمْ.
17	They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee. {worms: or, creeping things}	يَلْحَسُونَ ٱلتُّرَابَ كَٱلْحَيَّةِ، كَزَوَاحِفِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. يَخْرُجُونَ بِٱلرِّعْدَةِ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ، يَأْتُونَ بِٱلرُّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا وَيَخَافُونَ مِنْكَ.
18	Who {is} a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth {in} mercy.	مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ مِثْلُكَ غَافِرٌ ٱلْإِثْمَ وَصَافِحٌ عَنِ ٱلذَّنْبِ لِبَقِيَّةِ مِيرَاثِهِ! لَا يَحْفَظُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ غَضَبَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُسَرُّ بِٱلرَّأْفَةِ.
19	He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.	يَعُودُ يَرْحَمُنَا، يَدُوسُ آثَامَنَا، وَتُطْرَحُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْبَحْرِ جَمِيعُ خَطَايَاهُمْ.
20	Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, {and} the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.	تَصْنَعُ ٱلْأَمَانَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلرَّأْفَةَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ، ٱللَّتَيْنِ حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِنَا مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ.
