Zechariah 2

1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

١ ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنِي (فِي الرُّؤْيَا) وَإِذَا بِي أَرَى رَجُلاً حَامِلاً بِيَدِهِ حَبْلَ قِيَاسٍ،

2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

٢ فَسَأَلْتُهُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ؟» فَأَجَابَنِي: «لِأَمْسَحَ أَرْضَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَأَرَى مِقْدَارَ طُولِهَا وَعَرْضِهَا».

3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

٣ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الْمَلاَكُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي لِلِقَاءِ مَلاَكٍ آخَرَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ،

4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

٤ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَسْرِعْ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا الشَّابِّ: سَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ كَسَهْلٍ مَكْشُوفٍ آهِلَةً بِالنَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ الْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِيهَا

5 For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

٥ لأَنِّي سَأَكُونُ لَهَا سُوراً مُحِيطاً مِنْ نَارٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَمَجْداً فِي دَاخِلِهَا».

6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.

٦ هَيَّا أَسْرِعُوا، اهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ، فَقَدْ شَتَّتُّكُمْ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَرْجَاءِ الأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

٧ أَمَّا الآنَ، فَهَيَّا اهْرُبُوا إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ يَامَنْ أَقَمْتُمْ فِي أَرْضِ بَابِلَ.

8 For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honour he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

٨ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سَلَبَتْكُمْ إِعْلاَءً لِمَجْدِهِ، لأَنَّ مَنْ يَمَسُّكُمْ يَمَسُّ حَدَقَةَ عَيْنِهِ.

9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.

٩ هَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُهُمْ بِيَدِي فَيَصِيرُونَ نَهْباً لِعَبِيدِهِمْ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي حَقّاً.

10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.

١٠ رَنِّمِي وَابْتَهِجِي يَاأُورُشَلِيمُ، لأَنِّي قَادِمٌ لأُقِيمَ فِي وَسَطِكِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell amongst you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.

١١ فَتَنْضَمُّ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً، فَأُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكِ.

12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

١٢ وَيَرِثُ الرَّبُّ يَهُوذَا نَصِيباً لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَيَرْجِعُ فَيَصْطَفِي لِنَفْسِهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

١٣ لِيَصْمُتْ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ هَبَّ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ.
