< زَكَريّا 6 >

ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَإِذَا بِي أَرَى أَرْبَعَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ مُنْدَفِعَاتٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَبَلَيْنِ نُحَاسِيَّيْنِ، ١ 1
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
وَكَانَتْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْكَبَةَ الأُولَى جِيَادٌ حُمْرٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ جِيَادٌ سُودٌ، ٢ 2
In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ جِيَادٌ بِيضٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الرَّابِعَةَ جِيَادٌ مُرَقَّطَةٌ. ٣ 3
In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
فَسَأَلْتُ الْمَلاَكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ يَاسَيِّدِي؟» ٤ 4
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
فَأَجَابَنِي: «هَذِهِ أَرْوَاحُ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعَةُ خَارِجَةٌ بَعْدَ مُثُولِهَا فِي حَضْرَةِ رَبِّ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. ٥ 5
The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
فَالْمَرْكَبَةُ الَّتِي تَجُرُّهَا الْجِيَادُ السُّودُ تَتَوَجَّهُ نَحْوَ بِلاَدِ الشِّمَالِ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةُ الَّتِي تَجُرُّهَا الْجِيَادُ الْبَيْضَاءُ تَتْبَعُهَا إِلَى هُنَاكَ، أَمَّا الْمَرْكَبَةُ ذَاتُ الْجِيَادِ الْمُرَقَّطَةِ فَمُتَّجِهَةٌ نَحْوَ أَرْضِ الْجَنُوبِ. ٦ 6
The one with the black horses goes out towards the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out towards the south country.”
أَمَّا الْجِيَادُ الْقَوِيَّةُ الْحَمْرَاءُ فَهِيَ مُتَلَهِّفَةٌ لِلتَّجْوَالِ فِي الأَرْضِ. وَمَا إِنْ قَالَ لَهَا الرَّبُّ: انْطَلِقِي وَتَجَوَّلِي فِي الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى انْدَفَعَتْ تَطُوفُ فِي أَرْجَائِهَا». ٧ 7
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
ثُمَّ هَتَفَ بِي: «انْظُرْ! إِنَّ الَّتِي قَصَدَتْ أَرْضَ الشِّمَالِ قَدْ نَفَّذَتْ قَضَائِي، فَأَخْمَدَتْ سَوْرَةَ غَضَبِي هُنَاكَ». ٨ 8
Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلِيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ: ٩ 9
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
«خُذْ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّبْيِ، كُلًّا مِنْ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا، الَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ بَابِلَ، وَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَادْخُلْ بَيْتَ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ صَفَنْيَا. ١٠ 10
“Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
خُذْ (مِنْهُمْ) فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً وَصُغْ مِنْهَا تِيجَاناً، كَلِّلْ بِأَحَدِهَا رَأْسَ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ. ١١ 11
Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الْغُصْنُ، الَّذِي يَنْبُتُ مِنْ ذَاتِهِ وَيَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ. ١٢ 12
and speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build the LORD’s temple.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ وَيَتَجَلَّلُ بِالْمَجْدِ وَيَكُونُ نَفْسُهُ مَلِكاً وَكَاهِناً فِي آنٍ وَاحِدٍ فَيَجْلِسُ وَيَحْكُمُ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِفَضْلِ مَشُورَةِ رُتْبَتَيْهِ عَلَى إِشَاعَةِ السَّلاَمِ بَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ. ١٣ 13
He will build the LORD’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ التِّيجَانِ، فَتَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا وَيُوشِيَّا بنِ صَفَنْيَا، وَضَعْهَا تَذْكَاراً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. ١٤ 14
The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the LORD’s temple.
وَيَتَوَافَدُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِيَبْنُوا هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. وَيَتِمُّ هَذَا كُلُّهُ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ طَاعَةً كَامِلَةً». ١٥ 15
Those who are far off shall come and build in the LORD’s temple; and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the LORD your God’s voice.”’”
