زَكَريَّا 10

١ 1 اُطْلُبُوا مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْمَطَرَ فِي أَوَانِ ٱلْمَطَرِ ٱلْمُتَأَخِّرِ، فَيَصْنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ بُرُوقًا وَيُعْطِيَهُمْ مَطَرَ ٱلْوَبْلِ. لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ عُشْبًا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.

They asked of YHWH rain In a time of spring rain, YHWH is making lightnings, And He gives to them rain [in] showers. To each—the herb in the field.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّرَافِيمَ قَدْ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَٱلْعَرَّافُونَ رَأَوْا ٱلْكَذِبَ وَأَخْبَرُوا بِأَحْلَامِ كَذِبٍ. يُعَزُّونَ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ. لِذَلِكَ رَحَلُوا كَغَنَمٍ. ذَلُّوا إِذْ لَيْسَ رَاعٍ.

Because the teraphim spoke iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd.

٣ 3 «عَلَى ٱلرُّعَاةِ ٱشْتَعَلَ غَضَبِي فَعَاقَبْتُ ٱلْأَعْتِدَةَ، لِأَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ تَعَهَّدَ قَطِيعَهُ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا، وَجَعَلَهُمْ كَفَرَسِ جَلَالِهِ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ.

“My anger burned against the shepherds, And I lay a charge against the male goats, For YHWH of Hosts has inspected His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His splendid horse in battle.

٤ 4 مِنْهُ ٱلزَّاوِيَةُ. مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتَدُ. مِنْهُ قَوْسُ ٱلْقِتَالِ. مِنْهُ يَخْرُجُ كُلُّ ظَالِمٍ جَمِيعًا.

From him [is] a cornerstone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goes forth every exactor together.

٥ 5 وَيَكُونُونَ كَٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ ٱلدَّائِسِينَ طِينَ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ، وَيُحَارِبُونَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَهُمْ، وَٱلرَّاكِبُونَ ٱلْخَيْلَ يَخْزَوْنَ.

And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for YHWH [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.

٦ 6 وَأُقَوِّي بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا، وَأُخَلِّصُ بَيْتَ يُوسُفَ وَأُرَجِّعُهُمْ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ رَحِمْتُهُمْ. وَيَكُونُونَ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَرْفُضْهُمْ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فَأُجِيبُهُمْ.

And I have made the house of Judah mighty, And I save the house of Joseph, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off, For I [am] their God YHWH, And I answer them.

٧ 7 وَيَكُونُ أَفْرَايِمُ كَجَبَّارٍ، وَيَفْرَحُ قَلْبُهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ بِٱلْخَمْرِ، وَيَنْظُرُ بَنُوهُمْ فَيَفْرَحُونَ وَيَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبُهُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ.

And Ephraim has been as a hero, And their heart has rejoiced as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Their heart rejoices in YHWH.

٨ 8 أَصْفِرُ لَهُمْ وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ لِأَنِّي قَدْ فَدَيْتُهُمْ، وَيَكْثُرُونَ كَمَا كَثُرُوا.

I hiss for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they multiplied.

٩ 9 وَأَزْرَعُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ فَيَذْكُرُونَنِي فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلْبَعِيدَةِ، وَيَحْيَوْنَ مَعَ بَنِيهِمْ وَيَرْجِعُونَ.

And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.

١٠ 10 وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ أَشُّورَ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ وَلُبْنَانَ، وَلَا يُوجَدُ لَهُمْ مَكَانٌ.

And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And I gather them from Asshur, And I bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, And [space] is not found for them there.

١١ 11 وَيَعْبُرُ فِي بَحْرِ ٱلضِّيقِ، وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللُّجَجَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَتَجِفُّ كُلُّ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَتُخْفَضُ كِبْرِيَاءُ أَشُّورَ، وَيَزُولُ قَضِيبُ مِصْرَ.

And He has passed over through the sea, And has pressed and struck billows in the sea, And all depths of a flood have been dried up, And the excellence of Asshur has been brought down, And the rod of Egypt turns aside.

١٢ 12 وَأُقَوِّيهِمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَسْلُكُونَ بِٱسْمِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

And I have made them mighty in YHWH, And in His Name they walk up and down,” A declaration of YHWH!
