وَكَانَ كَلَامُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts, saying,
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: غِرْتُ عَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَبِسَخَطٍ عَظِيمٍ غِرْتُ عَلَيْهَا. ٢ 2
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with great zeal, With great heat I have been zealous for her.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتُدْعَى أُورُشَلِيمُ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَجَبَلُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ. ٣ 3
Thus said YHWH: I have turned back to Zion, And I have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And Jerusalem has been called The City of Truth, And The Mountain of YHWH of Hosts, The Holy Mountain.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: سَيَجْلِسُ بَعْدُ ٱلشُّيُوخُ وَٱلشَّيْخَاتُ فِي أَسْوَاقِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٤ 4
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Again old men and old women dwell In broad places of Jerusalem, And each his staff in his hand, Because of abundance of days.
وَتَمْتَلِئُ أَسْوَاقُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ ٱلصِّبْيَانِ وَٱلْبَنَاتِ لَاعِبِينَ فِي أَسْوَاقِهَا. ٥ 5
And broad places of the city are full of boys and girls, Playing in its broad places.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عَجِيبًا فِي أَعْيُنِ بَقِيَّةِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، أَفَيَكُونُ أَيْضًا عَجِيبًا فِي عَيْنَيَّ؟ يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. ٦ 6
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Surely it is wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, Also in My eyes it is wonderful, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هَأَنَذَا أُخَلِّصُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنْ أَرْضِ مَغْرِبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. ٧ 7
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am saving My people from the land of the rising, And from the land of the going in, of the sun,
وَآتِي بِهِمْ فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا،وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْبِرِّ. ٨ 8
And I have brought them in, They have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, In truth and in righteousness.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: لِتَتَشَدَّدْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّامِعُونَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَوْمَ أُسِّسَ بَيْتُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ لِبِنَاءِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. ٩ 9
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, You who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of YHWH of Hosts has been founded, The temple [is] to be built.
لِأَنَّهُ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِلْإِنْسَانِ أُجْرَةٌ وَلَا لِلْبَهِيمَةِ أُجْرَةٌ، وَلَا سَلَامٌ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ أَوْ دَخَلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلضِّيقِ. وَأَطْلَقْتُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، ٱلرَّجُلَ عَلَى قَرِيبِهِ. ١٠ 10
For before those days there has been no hiring of man, Indeed, a hiring of beasts there is none; And to him who is going out, And to him who is coming in, There is no peace because of the adversary, And I send all men—each against his neighbor.
أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلَا أَكُونُ أَنَا لِبَقِيَّةِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأُولَى، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. ١١ 11
And now, not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant of this people, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
بَلْ زَرْعُ ٱلسَّلَامِ، ٱلْكَرْمُ يُعْطِي ثَمَرَهُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُعْطِي غَلَّتَهَا، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُعْطِي نَدَاهَا، وَأُمَلِّكُ بَقِيَّةَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا. ١٢ 12
Because of the sowing of peace, The vine gives her fruit, And the earth gives her increase, And the heavens give their dew, And I have caused the remnant of this people To inherit all these.
وَيَكُونُ كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ لَعْنَةً بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ يَا بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا وَيَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَذَلِكَ أُخَلِّصُكُمْ فَتَكُونُونَ بَرَكَةً فَلَا تَخَافُوا. لِتَتَشَدَّدْ أَيْدِيكُمْ. ١٣ 13
And it has come to pass, As you have been a reviling among nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you, and you have been a blessing, Do not fear, let your hands be strong.
«لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: كَمَا أَنِّي فَكَّرْتُ فِي أَنْ أُسِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ حِينَ أَغْضَبَنِي آبَاؤُكُمْ، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَلَمْ أَنْدَمْ. ١٤ 14
For thus said YHWH of Hosts: As I purposed to do evil to you, When your fathers made Me angry—said YHWH of Hosts—And I did not relent,
هَكَذَا عُدْتُ وَفَكَّرْتُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فِي أَنْ أُحْسِنَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا. لَا تَخَافُوا. ١٥ 15
So I have turned back, I have purposed, in these days, To do good with Jerusalem, And with the house of Judah—do not fear!
هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأُمُورُ ٱلَّتِي تَفْعَلُونَهَا. لِيُكَلِّمْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ قَرِيبَهُ بِٱلْحَقِّ. ٱقْضُوا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَقَضَاءِ ٱلسَّلَامِ فِي أَبْوَابِكُمْ. ١٦ 16
These [are] the things that you do: Each speak truth with his neighbor, Judge [with] truth and peaceful judgment in your gates,
وَلَا يُفَكِّرَنَّ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلسُّوءِ عَلَى قَرِيبِهِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. وَلَا تُحِبُّوا يَمِينَ ٱلزُّورِ. لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ جَمِيعَهَا أَكْرَهُهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٧ 17
And do not devise the evil of his neighbor in your heart, And do not love a false oath, For all these [are] things that I have hated, A declaration of YHWH.”
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: ١٨ 18
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying,
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ صَوْمَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَصَوْمَ ٱلْخَامِسِ وَصَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَصَوْمَ ٱلْعَاشِرِ يَكُونُ لِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا ٱبْتِهَاجًا وَفَرَحًا وَأَعْيَادًا طَيِّبَةً. فَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلسَّلَامَ. ١٩ 19
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts: The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth [months], are to the house of Judah for joy and for rejoicing, and for pleasant appointed times, and the truth and the peace they have loved.
هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: سَيَأْتِي شُعُوبٌ بَعْدُ، وَسُكَّانُ مُدُنٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. ٢٠ 20
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Yet peoples come, and inhabitants of many cities,
وَسُكَّانُ وَاحِدَةٍ يَسِيرُونَ إِلَى أُخْرَى قَائِلِينَ: لِنَذْهَبْ ذَهَابًا لِنَتَرَضَّى وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَنَطْلُبَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. أَنَا أَيْضًا أَذْهَبُ. ٢١ 21
Indeed, inhabitants of one Have gone to another, saying, We go diligently, To appease the face of YHWH, To seek YHWH of Hosts—I go, even I.
فَتَأْتِي شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَأُمَمٌ قَوِيَّةٌ لِيَطْلُبُوا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلْيَتَرَضَّوْا وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٢ 22
Indeed, many peoples have come in, and mighty nations, To seek YHWH of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of YHWH.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ يُمْسِكُ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَلْسِنَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِذَيْلِ رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ قَائِلِينَ: نَذْهَبُ مَعَكُمْ لِأَنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا أَنَّ ٱللهَ مَعَكُمْ». ٢٣ 23
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: In those days ten men of all languages of the nations take hold, Indeed, they have taken hold on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying, We go with you, for we heard God [is] with you!”
