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, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
| «قَدْ غَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ غَضَبًا عَلَى آبَائِكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
'The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
| فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فَأَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٣ 3 |
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD 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 |
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor attend unto Me, saith the LORD.
| آبَاؤُكُمْ أَيْنَ هُمْ؟ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ هَلْ أَبَدًا يَحْيَوْنَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
| 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 |
But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? so that they turned and said: Like as the LORD of hosts purposed to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath He dealt with 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 |
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the 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 saw in the night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
| فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟» فَقَالَ لِي ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «أَنَا أُرِيكَ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ». | ٩ 9 |
Then said I: 'O my lord, what are these?' And the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'I will show thee what these are.'
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْوَاقِفُ بَيْنَ ٱلْآسِ وَقَالَ: «هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْجَوَلَانِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said: 'These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.'
| فَأَجَابُوا مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْوَاقِفَ بَيْنَ ٱلْآسِ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ جُلْنَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مُسْتَرِيحَةٌ وَسَاكِنَةٌ». | ١١ 11 |
And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said: 'We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.'
| فَأَجَابَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَى مَتَى أَنْتَ لَا تَرْحَمُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنَ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّتِي غَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهَا هَذِهِ ٱلسَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً؟» | ١٢ 12 |
Then the angel of the LORD spoke and said: 'O LORD of hosts, how long wilt Thou not have compassion on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which Thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلَاكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي بِكَلَامٍ طَيِّبٍ وَكَلَامِ تَعْزِيَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the LORD answered the angel that spoke with me with good words, even comforting words —
| فَقَالَ لِي ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «نَادِ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: غِرْتُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
so the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'Proclaim thou, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy;
| وَأَنَا مُغْضِبٌ بِغَضَبٍ عَظِيمٍ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ. لِأَنِّي غَضِبْتُ قَلِيلًا وَهُمْ أَعَانُوا ٱلشَّرَّ. | ١٥ 15 |
and I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped 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 saith the LORD: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
| نَادِ أَيْضًا وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ مُدُنِي تَفِيضُ بَعْدُ خَيْرًا، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ بَعْدُ، وَيَخْتَارُ بَعْدُ أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٧ 17 |
Again, proclaim, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.'
| فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ قُرُونٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
| فَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْقُرُونُ ٱلَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And I said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these?' And he said unto me: 'These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'
| فَأَرَانِي ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْبَعَةَ صُنَّاعٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
| 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 |
Then said I: 'What come these to do?' And he spoke, saying: 'These — the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head — these then are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.'
