< زَكَريَّا 2 >

فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ وَبِيَدِهِ حَبْلُ قِيَاسٍ. ١ 1
And I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
فَقُلْتُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ؟» فَقَالَ لِي: «لِأَقِيسَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَرَى كَمْ عَرْضُهَا وَكَمْ طُولُهَا». ٢ 2
Then I said, Where do thou go? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem. To see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَخَرَجَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ لِلِقَائِهِ. ٣ 3
And, behold, the agent who talked with me went forth. And another agent went out to meet him,
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱجْرِ وَكَلِّمْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامَ قَائِلًا: كَٱلْأَعْرَاءِ تُسْكَنُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ فِيهَا. ٤ 4
and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
وَأَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ لَهَا سُورَ نَارٍ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا، وَأَكُونُ مَجْدًا فِي وَسَطِهَا. ٥ 5
For I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
«يَا يَا، ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَإِنِّي قَدْ فَرَّقْتُكُمْ كَرِيَاحِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٦ 6
Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Jehovah. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says Jehovah.
تَنَجَّيْ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي بِنْتِ بَابِلَ، ٧ 7
Ho Zion, escape, thou who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: بَعْدَ ٱلْمَجْدِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَلَبُوكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَمَسُّكُمْ يَمَسُّ حَدَقَةَ عَيْنِهِ. ٨ 8
For thus says Jehovah of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُحَرِّكُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَكُونُونَ سَلَبًا لِعَبِيدِهِمْ. فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي. ٩ 9
For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me.
«تَرَنَّمِي وَٱفْرَحِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا آتِي وَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٠ 10
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says Jehovah.
فَيَتَّصِلُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا فَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكِ. ١١ 11
And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to thee.
وَٱلرَّبُّ يَرِثُ يَهُوذَا نَصِيبَهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَيَخْتَارُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدُ. ١٢ 12
And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
اُسْكُتُوا يَا كُلَّ ٱلْبَشَرِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ». ١٣ 13
Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.
