زَكَريَّا 12

١ 1 وَحْيُ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ بَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَابِلُ رُوحِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فِي دَاخِلِهِ:

This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning Israel—a declaration of Yahweh, who stretched out the skies and laid the foundation of the earth, who fashions the spirit of mankind within man,

٢ 2 «هَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَأْسَ تَرَنُّحٍ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ حَوْلَهَا، وَأَيْضًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا تَكُونُ فِي حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

“See, I am about to make Jerusalem into a cup causing all the peoples surrounding her to stagger about. It will also be like that for Judah during the siege against Jerusalem.

٣ 3 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَجْعَلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ حَجَرًا مِشْوَالًا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشِيلُونَهُ يَنْشَقُّونَ شَقًّا. وَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهَا كُلُّ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. Anyone trying to lift that stone will hurt himself very much, and all the nations of the earth will gather against that city.

٤ 4 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَضْرِبُ كُلَّ فَرَسٍ بِٱلْحَيْرَةِ وَرَاكِبَهُ بِٱلْجُنُونِ. وَأَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيَّ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَضْرِبُ كُلَّ خَيْلِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بِٱلْعَمَى.

On that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. Over the house of Judah I will open my eyes, but every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.

٥ 5 فَتَقُولُ أُمَرَاءُ يَهُوذَا فِي قَلْبِهِمْ: إِنَّ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ قُوَّةٌ لِي بِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِهِمْ.

Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are our strength because of Yahweh of hosts, their God.'

٦ 6 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَجْعَلُ أُمَرَاءَ يَهُوذَا كَمِصْبَاحِ نَارٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَطَبِ، وَكَمِشْعَلِ نَارٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُزَمِ. فَيَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ حَوْلَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ، فَتَثْبُتُ أُورُشَلِيمُ أَيْضًا فِي مَكَانِهَا بِأُورُشَلِيمَ.

On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like firepots among wood and like a flaming torch among standing grain, for they will consume all the surrounding peoples on their right and on their left. Jerusalem will again live in her own place.”

٧ 7 وَيُخَلِّصُ ٱلرَّبُّ خِيَامَ يَهُوذَا أَوَّلًا لِكَيْلَا يَتَعَاظَمَ ٱفْتِخَارُ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَٱفْتِخَارُ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and the honor of those who live in Jerusalem may not be greater than the rest of Judah.

٨ 8 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَسْتُرُ ٱلرَّبُّ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَكُونُ ٱلْعَاثِرُ مِنْهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِثْلَ دَاوُدَ، وَبَيْتُ دَاوُدَ مِثْلَ ٱللهِ، مِثْلَ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَمَامَهُمْ.

On that day Yahweh will be the defender of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on that day those who are weak among them will be like David, while the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh in front of them.

٩ 9 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَلْتَمِسُ هَلَاكَ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلْآتِينَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

“On that day that I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

١٠ 10 «وَأُفِيضُ عَلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ رُوحَ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ وَٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ، فَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ، ٱلَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ، وَيَنُوحُونَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَائِحٍ عَلَى وَحِيدٍ لَهُ، وَيَكُونُونَ فِي مَرَارَةٍ عَلَيْهِ كَمَنْ هُوَ فِي مَرَارَةٍ عَلَى بِكْرِهِ.

But I will pour out a spirit of compassion and pleading on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so they will look on me, the one they have pierced. They will mourn for me, as one mourns for an only son; they will bitterly lament for him like those who lament the death of a firstborn son.

١١ 11 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَعْظُمُ ٱلنَّوْحُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ كَنَوْحِ هَدَدْرِمُّونَ فِي بُقْعَةِ مَجِدُّونَ.

On that day the laments in Jerusalem will be like the laments at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

١٢ 12 وَتَنُوحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ عَشَائِرَ عَشَائِرَ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا: عَشِيرَةُ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ. عَشِيرَةُ بَيْتِ نَاثَانَ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ.

The land will mourn, each clan separate from other clans. The clan of the house of David will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the house of Nathan will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.

١٣ 13 عَشِيرَةُ بَيْتِ لَاوِي عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ. عَشِيرَةُ شَمْعِي عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ.

The clan of the house of Levi will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the Shimeites will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.

١٤ 14 كُلُّ ٱلْعَشَائِرِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ عَشِيرَةٌ عَشِيرَةٌ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ.

Every clan of the remaining clans—each clan will be separate and the wives will be separate from the men.”
