زَكَريَّا 2

١ 1 فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ وَبِيَدِهِ حَبْلُ قِيَاسٍ.

And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measure-cord in his hand.

٢ 2 فَقُلْتُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ؟» فَقَالَ لِي: «لِأَقِيسَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَرَى كَمْ عَرْضُهَا وَكَمْ طُولُهَا».

Then said I, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.

٣ 3 وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَخَرَجَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ لِلِقَائِهِ.

And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him;

٤ 4 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱجْرِ وَكَلِّمْ هَذَا ٱلْغُلَامَ قَائِلًا: كَٱلْأَعْرَاءِ تُسْكَنُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ فِيهَا.

And he said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Without walls shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.

٥ 5 وَأَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ لَهَا سُورَ نَارٍ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا، وَأَكُونُ مَجْدًا فِي وَسَطِهَا.

But I—I will be unto her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and for glory will I be in the midst of her.

٦ 6 «يَا يَا، ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. فَإِنِّي قَدْ فَرَّقْتُكُمْ كَرِيَاحِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Up! up! and flee away from the land of the north saith the Lord; for as the four winds of the heaven have I spread you abroad, saith the Lord.

٧ 7 تَنَجَّيْ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي بِنْتِ بَابِلَ،

Up, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: بَعْدَ ٱلْمَجْدِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَلَبُوكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَمَسُّكُمْ يَمَسُّ حَدَقَةَ عَيْنِهِ.

For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of [your] glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

٩ 9 لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُحَرِّكُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَكُونُونَ سَلَبًا لِعَبِيدِهِمْ. فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي.

For, behold, I will swing my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall acknowledge that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.

١٠ 10 «تَرَنَّمِي وَٱفْرَحِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا آتِي وَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

١١ 11 فَيَتَّصِلُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا فَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكِ.

And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be unto me for a people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

١٢ 12 وَٱلرَّبُّ يَرِثُ يَهُوذَا نَصِيبَهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَيَخْتَارُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدُ.

And the Lord will take Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land; and he will again make choice of Jerusalem.

١٣ 13 اُسْكُتُوا يَا كُلَّ ٱلْبَشَرِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ».

Be silent, all flesh! before the Lord; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.
