Sound the trumpet in Africa, peoples thereof were yesterday taken down to the lowest
و نفخ في الصور فإذا هم من الأجداث ينسلون من سورة ياسين لجأ الشاعر لهذا التعبير ليدل على صحوة شعوب أفريقيا
من الموت، و إتاحة الفرصة أمامهم لبدء حياة جديدة ، وفي التوراة نفس التعبير كما ترى في الموقع المشار إليه، لذلك فإستعمال التعبير المماثل الوارد في التوراة باللغة الانجليزية يثير في الأذهان نفس الصورة
SOUNDING OF, ILLUSTRATIVE OF: God's power to raise the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. from site below.
I chose "taken down" as alternative for degraded, to stress the opposition to "raise' from death, which is not stated, but implied by "sound the trumpet".
Take down: 1. To bring to a lower position from a higher one, degrade
