< زَكَريَّا 9 >

وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ حَدْرَاخَ وَدِمَشْقَ مَحَلُّهُ. لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ عَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَكُلَّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١ 1
An oracle: The message of the Lord concerns the land of Hadrach, it rests upon Damascus. For the capital of Aram belongs to the Lord, as the tribes of Israel do,
وَحَمَاةُ أَيْضًا تُتَاخِمُهَا، وَصُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ حَكِيمَةً جِدًّا. ٢ 2
and also Hamath which borders on it. Tyre and Sidon, for all their wisdom.
وَقَدْ بَنَتْ صُورُ حِصْنًا لِنَفْسِهَا، وَكَوَّمَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ كَٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلذَّهَبَ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ. ٣ 3
Tyre built for herself a fortress. Heaped up silver as dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ يَمْتَلِكُهَا وَيَضْرِبُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ قُوَّتَهَا، وَهِيَ تُؤْكَلُ بِٱلنَّارِ. ٤ 4
But now the Lord will dispossess her, cast down her rampart into the sea. She will be consumed in fire.
تَرَى أَشْقَلُونُ فَتَخَافُ، وَغَزَّةُ فَتَتَوَجَّعُ جِدًّا، وَعَقْرُونُ. لِأَنَّهُ يُخْزِيهَا ٱنْتِظَارُهَا، وَٱلْمَلِكُ يَبِيدُ مِنْ غَزَّةَ، وَأَشْقَلُونُ لَا تُسْكَنُ. ٥ 5
Ashkelon will see and fear, and Gaza writhe in anguish, Ekron, also for her hope will be put to shame. The king will perish from Gaza, Ashkelon will remain uninhabited.
وَيَسْكُنُ فِي أَشْدُودَ زَنِيمٌ، وَأَقْطَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ٦ 6
A foreign people will settle in Ashdod, and I will humble the pride of the Philistines.
وَأَنْزِعُ دِمَاءَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَرِجْسَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْنَانِهِ، فَيَبْقَى هُوَ أَيْضًا لِإِلَهِنَا، وَيَكُونُ كَأَمِيرٍ فِي يَهُوذَا، وَعَقْرُونُ كَيَبُوسِيٍّ. ٧ 7
I will take their blood from their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth. They also will be a remnant for our God, like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
وَأَحُلُّ حَوْلَ بَيْتِي بِسَبَبِ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلذَّاهِبِ وَٱلْآئِبِ، فَلَا يَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدُ جَابِي ٱلْجِزْيَةِ. فَإِنِّي ٱلْآنَ رَأَيْتُ بِعَيْنَيَّ. ٨ 8
But I will encamp as a guard about my house, so that none will pass through or return, and no oppressor will pass through them again, for now I have seen with my own eyes.
اِبْتَهِجِي جِدًّا يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱهْتِفِي يَا بِنْتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكِ. هُوَ عَادِلٌ وَمَنْصُورٌ وَدِيعٌ، وَرَاكِبٌ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَانٍ. ٩ 9
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your king comes to you. Vindicated and victorious is he, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَتُقْطَعُ قَوْسُ ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ لِلْأُمَمِ، وَسُلْطَانُهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٠ 10
He will cut off chariots from Ephraim, and war horses from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off, and he will speak peace to the nations. His rule will be from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.
وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا فَإِنِّي بِدَمِ عَهْدِكِ قَدْ أَطْلَقْتُ أَسْرَاكِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ. ١١ 11
And you, too – because of your blood covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ يَا أَسْرَى ٱلرَّجَاءِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا أُصَرِّحُ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكِ ضِعْفَيْنِ. ١٢ 12
To the stronghold will the prisoners of hope return. This day I declare, I will restore double to you.
لِأَنِّي أَوْتَرْتُ يَهُوذَا لِنَفْسِي، وَمَلَأْتُ ٱلْقَوْسَ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَنْهَضْتُ أَبْنَاءَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى بَنِيكِ يَا يَاوَانُ، وَجَعَلْتُكِ كَسَيْفِ جَبَّارٍ. ١٣ 13
For I have bent Judah to me, like a bow which I have filled with Ephraim like an arrow. I will urge your sons, Zion, against the sons of Greece, I will make you like the sword of a hero.
وَيُرَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَوْقَهُمْ، وَسَهْمُهُ يَخْرُجُ كَٱلْبَرْقِ، وَٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَنْفُخُ فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَيَسِيرُ فِي زَوَابِعِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ١٤ 14
Then the Lord will be seen above them and his arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord will blow a blast upon a trumpet, and travel on the whirlwinds of the south.
رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يُحَامِي عَنْهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَدُوسُونَ حِجَارَةَ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَضُجُّونَ كَمَا مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَيَمْتَلِئُونَ كَٱلْمَنْضَحِ وَكَزَوَايَا ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. ١٥ 15
The Lord of hosts will defend them. They will devour and tread down the slingstones, they will drink their blood like wine, they will be full like a bowl, like the crevices of the altar.
وَيُخَلِّصُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. كَقَطِيعٍ شَعْبَهُ، بَلْ كَحِجَارَةِ ٱلتَّاجِ مَرْفُوعَةً عَلَى أَرْضِهِ. ١٦ 16
And the Lord their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people, as the jewel of a crown shining in his land.
مَا أَجْوَدَهُ وَمَا أَجْمَلَهُ! اَلْحِنْطَةُ تُنْمِي ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، وَٱلْمِسْطَارُ ٱلْعَذَارَى. ١٧ 17
How good and how beautiful will it be! Corn will make the young men flourish and new wine the young women!
