زَكَريّا 1
| فِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّامِنِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَرَخِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
| «لَقَدْ غَضِبَ الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ الْغَضَبِ عَلَى آبَائِكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
"YHWH was very displeased with your fathers.
| وَلَكِنْ قُلْ لَهُمْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٣ 3 |
Therefore tell them: Thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Return to me,' says YHWH of hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says YHWH of hosts.
| وَلاَ تَكُونُوا كَآبَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ نَادَاهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ السَّالِفُونَ قَائِلِينَ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، ارْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ الْبَاطِلَةِ وَأَعْمَالِكُمُ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٤ 4 |
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says YHWH of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says YHWH.
| أَيْنَ هُمْ آبَاؤُكُمْ؟ وَهَلْ يَحْيَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
| وَلَكِنْ أَلَمْ تُدْرِكْ أَقْوَالِي وَفَرَائِضِي الَّتِي أَمَرْتُ بِهَا عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءَ آبَاءَكُمْ فَتَابُوا قَائِلِينَ: لَقَدْ نَفَّذَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مَا عَزَمَ أَنْ يُعَاقِبَنَا بِمُقْتَضَى مَا ارْتَكَبْنَاهُ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ بَاطِلَةٍ؟» | ٦ 6 |
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, 'Just as YHWH of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْحَادِي عَشَرَ، أَيْ شَهْرِ شَبَاطَ الْعِبْرِيِّ، مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَرَخِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو قَائِلاً: | ٧ 7 |
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
| «شَاهَدْتُ فِي رُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ يَمْتَطِي فَرَساً أَحْمَرَ اللَّوْنِ يَقِفُ بَيْنَ أَشْجَارِ الآسِ الْمُتَوَارِيَةِ فِي الْوَادِي، وَخَلْفَهُ رِجَالٌ رَاكِبُونَ عَلَى خَيْلٍ حُمْرٍ وَشُقْرٍ وَبِيضٍ. | ٨ 8 |
"I had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.
| فَسَأَلْتُ: «مَنْ هَؤُلاَءِ يَاسَيِّدِي؟» فَأَجَابَنِي الْمَلاَكُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «أَنَا أُخْبِرُكَ مَنْ هَؤُلاَءِ». | ٩ 9 |
Then I asked, 'My lord, what are these?'" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."
| قَالَ الْفَارِسُ الْوَاقِفُ بَيْنَ الآسِ: «هَؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَوْفَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَجُولُوا فِي الأَرْضِ». | ١٠ 10 |
The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said to me, "They are the ones YHWH has sent to go back and forth through the earth."
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ رَاكِبُو الْجِيَادِ لِلْمَلاَكِ الْوَاقِفِ بَيْنَ الآسِ: «قَدْ جُلْنَا فِي الأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا بِهَا كُلِّهَا آمِنَةٌ مُطْمَئِنَّةٌ». | ١١ 11 |
They reported to the angel of YHWH who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked back and forth through the earth, and look, all the earth is at rest and in peace."
| فَقَالَ الْمَلاَكُ: «إِلَى مَتَى أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ لاَ تُشْفِقُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الَّتِي سَخِطْتَ عَلَيْهَا طَوَالَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً؟» | ١٢ 12 |
Then the angel of YHWH replied, "YHWH of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?"
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ الْمَلاَكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي، بِعِبَارَاتٍ طَيِّبَةٍ مُعَزِّيَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
YHWH answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.
| ثُمَّ خَاطَبَنِي الْمَلاَكُ قَائِلاً: «نَادِ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنِّي قَدْ غِرْتُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
| وَلَكِنَّ غَضَبِي مُتَأَجِّجٌ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الْمُتَنَعِّمَةِ. لَقَدِ اغْتَظْتُ قَلِيلاً مِنْ شَعْبِي إِلاَّ أَنَّهُمْ زَادُوا مِنْ فَوَاجِعِهِمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but only a little angry, but they added to the calamity."
| لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِفَيْضٍ مِنَ الْمَرَاحِمِ، فَيُبْنَى هَيْكَلِي فِيهَا وَتَعْمُرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore thus says YHWH: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house will be built in it," says YHWH of hosts, "and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."'
| وَاهْتِفْ أَيْضاً قَائِلاً: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: سَتَفِيضُ مُدُنِي خَيْراً ثَانِيَةً، وَيَرْجِعُ الرَّبُّ فَيُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَصْطَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٧ 17 |
"Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and YHWH will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"
| ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ نَظَرِي وَإِذَا بِي أَرَى أَرْبَعَةَ قُرُونٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four horns.
| فَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلاَكِ: «مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْقُرُونُ الَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ أَهْلَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٩ 19 |
I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
| وَأَرَانِي الرَّبُّ أَرْبَعَةَ صُنَّاعٍ، | ٢٠ 20 |
YHWH showed me four craftsmen.
| فَسَأَلْتُ: «مَا الَّذِي جَاءَ يَفْعَلُهُ هَؤُلاَءِ الرِّجَالُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْقُرُونُ (أَيِ الأُمَمُ) الَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ أَهْلَ يَهُوذَا حَتَّى ذَلَّتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ. أَمَّا هَؤُلاَءِ الصُّنَّاعُ فَقَدْ أَقْبَلُوا لِيُوْقِعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي نُفُوسِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي هَاجَمَتْ أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا لِيَطْرُدُوا أَهْلَهَا». | ٢١ 21 |
Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."
