Arabic term or phrase: حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل
أنا بترجم مسلسل ومحتاجة اقتراحات لترجمة "حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل" في سياق إن واحدة بتدعي على واحد في المسلسل مش الصيغة اللي موجودة في الترجمة الإسلامية يعني هي مرة قالتها حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل والمرة الثانية قالت "حسبي الله عليك."

May God take revenge from you


Explanation:
المعنى المقصود هو أنها غير قادرة على أن تأخذ حقها منه، لذلك قالت هذه العبارة، وبالتالي فهي تفوض أمرها لله لينتقم منه، وتدل كذلك على ضعفها خاصة إذا كان رجل سلطة متسلط في بلاد فاسدة.
ترجمة حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل: Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Proxy
أفضل كلمة God
لأن المتحدثين باللغة الإنجليزية يستعملونها عوض كلمة Allah

Those (the best ones) to whom the people said: “Surely the men have gathered against you (in order to attack you), therefore fear them, but this (statement) increased their faith”, and they said: “Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Proxy”.
