Arabic Bible ERV 2009
يَقُولُ اللهُ: «أمواتُكُمْ سَيَحْيَوْنَ، جُثَثُكُمْ سَتُقُومُ مِنَ المَوتِ. اسْتَيقِظُوا وَغَنُّوا بِفَرَحٍ يا ساكِنِي التَّرابِ، لأنَّ النَّدَى الَّذِي يُغَطِّيكُمْ هُوَ نَدَى الصَّباحِ. سَتَرَوْنَ وَقتاً جَدِيداً قادِماً، حِينَ تُصعِدُ الأرْضُ أرْواحَ الأمْواتِ الَّتِي فِيها.»
