< زَكَريَّا 1 >
فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّامِنِ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَرَخِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
«قَدْ غَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ غَضَبًا عَلَى آبَائِكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
'Jehovah was wroth against your fathers — wrath!
فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فَأَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٣ 3 |
And thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, turn back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I turn back unto you, said Jehovah of Hosts.
لَا تَكُونُوا كَآبَائِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَادَاهُمُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ قَائِلِينَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ وَعَنْ أَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ. فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٤ 4 |
Ye shall not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Turn back I pray you, From your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not hearken, Nor attend to Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.
آبَاؤُكُمْ أَيْنَ هُمْ؟ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ هَلْ أَبَدًا يَحْيَوْنَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Your fathers — where [are] they? And the prophets — to the age do they live?
وَلَكِنْ كَلَامِي وَفَرَائِضِي ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُ بِهَا عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ، أَفَلَمْ تُدْرِكْ آبَاءَكُمْ؟ فَرَجَعُوا وَقَالُوا: كَمَا قَصَدَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِنَا كَطُرُقِنَا وَكَأَعْمَالِنَا، كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِنَا». | ٦ 6 |
Only, My words, and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers, And they turn back and say: As Jehovah of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He hath done to us?'
فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْحَادِي عَشَرَ، هُوَ شَهْرُ شَبَاطَ. فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِدَارِيُوسَ، كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَرَخِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو ٱلنَّبِيِّ قَائِلًا: | ٧ 7 |
On the twenty and fourth day of the eleventh month, (it [is] the month of Sebat, ) in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
رَأَيْتُ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ رَاكِبٍ عَلَى فَرَسٍ أَحْمَرَ، وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْآسِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلظِّلِّ، وَخَلْفَهُ خَيْلٌ حُمْرٌ وَشُقْرٌ وَشُهْبٌ. | ٨ 8 |
I have seen by night, and lo, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.
فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟» فَقَالَ لِي ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «أَنَا أُرِيكَ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ». | ٩ 9 |
And I say, 'What [are] these, my lord?' And the messenger who is speaking with me saith unto me, 'I — I do shew thee what these [are].'
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْوَاقِفُ بَيْنَ ٱلْآسِ وَقَالَ: «هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْجَوَلَانِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And the one who is standing between the myrtles doth answer and say, 'These [are] they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk up and down in the land.'
فَأَجَابُوا مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْوَاقِفَ بَيْنَ ٱلْآسِ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ جُلْنَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مُسْتَرِيحَةٌ وَسَاكِنَةٌ». | ١١ 11 |
And they answer the messenger of Jehovah who is standing between the myrtles, and say, 'We have walked up and down in the land, and lo, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.'
فَأَجَابَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَى مَتَى أَنْتَ لَا تَرْحَمُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّتِي غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهَا هَذِهِ ٱلسَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً؟» | ١٢ 12 |
And the messenger of Jehovah answereth and saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts! till when dost Thou not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that Thou hast abhorred these seventy years?'
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلَاكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي بِكَلَامٍ طَيِّبٍ وَكَلَامِ تَعْزِيَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
فَقَالَ لِي ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «نَادِ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: غِرْتُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
And the messenger who is speaking with me, saith unto me, 'Call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion [with] great zeal.
وَأَنَا مُغْضِبٌ بِغَضَبٍ عَظِيمٍ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ. لِأَنِّي غَضِبْتُ قَلِيلًا وَهُمْ أَعَانُوا ٱلشَّرَّ. | ١٥ 15 |
And [with] great wrath I am wroth against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little wroth, and they assisted — for evil.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِٱلْمَرَاحِمِ فَبَيْتِي يُبْنَى فِيهَا، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَيُمَدُّ ٱلْمِطْمَارُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.
نَادِ أَيْضًا وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ مُدُنِي تَفِيضُ بَعْدُ خَيْرًا، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ بَعْدُ، وَيَخْتَارُ بَعْدُ أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٧ 17 |
Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted Zion, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.'
فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ قُرُونٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four horns.
فَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْقُرُونُ ٱلَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these?' And he saith unto me, 'These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'
فَأَرَانِي ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْبَعَةَ صُنَّاعٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Jehovah doth shew me four artisans.
فَقُلْتُ: «جَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ، مَاذَا يَفْعَلُونَ؟» فَتَكَلَّمَ قَائِلًا: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْقُرُونُ ٱلَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ يَهُوذَا حَتَّى لَمْ يَرْفَعْ إِنْسَانٌ رَأْسَهُ. وَقَدْ جَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ لِيُرْعِبُوهُمْ وَلِيَطْرُدُوا قُرُونَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلرَّافِعِينَ قَرْنًا عَلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا لِتَبْدِيدِهَا». | ٢١ 21 |
And I say, 'What [are] these coming in to do?' And He speaketh, saying: 'These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one hath lifted up his head, and these come in to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah — to scatter it.'
