< زَكَريَّا 2 >

فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ وَبِيَدِهِ حَبْلُ قِيَاسٍ. ١ 1
Then I looked up and saw 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
I said, ‘Where are you going?’ He replied, ‘To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and length.’
وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَخَرَجَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ لِلِقَائِهِ. ٣ 3
Then the messenger who talked with me stepped forward, and another messenger 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 and tell to that young man that Jerusalem will be inhabited like a village without walls, because so many people and cattle will live there.
وَأَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ لَهَا سُورَ نَارٍ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا، وَأَكُونُ مَجْدًا فِي وَسَطِهَا. ٥ 5
For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire her, 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
Up! Away! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the Lord.
تَنَجَّيْ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِي بِنْتِ بَابِلَ، ٧ 7
Up, escape to Zion, you who live in Babylon.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: بَعْدَ ٱلْمَجْدِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَلَبُوكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَمَسُّكُمْ يَمَسُّ حَدَقَةَ عَيْنِهِ. ٨ 8
This is what the Lord of hosts says to the nations which plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُحَرِّكُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَكُونُونَ سَلَبًا لِعَبِيدِهِمْ. فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي. ٩ 9
I will raise my hand against them. They will be plunder for their own slaves; and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
«تَرَنَّمِي وَٱفْرَحِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا آتِي وَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٠ 10
‘Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! I am coming, I will live among you, says the Lord.
فَيَتَّصِلُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا فَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكِ. ١١ 11
Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day, and will be his people, and he will live among you. You will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
وَٱلرَّبُّ يَرِثُ يَهُوذَا نَصِيبَهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَيَخْتَارُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدُ. ١٢ 12
The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land. He will again choose Jerusalem.
اُسْكُتُوا يَا كُلَّ ٱلْبَشَرِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ». ١٣ 13
Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, because he is coming from his holy dwelling.’
