زَكَريَّا 8
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
And the word of Yahweh of hosts came, saying:
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: غِرْتُ عَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً، وَبِسَخَطٍ عَظِيمٍ غِرْتُ عَلَيْهَا. | ٢ 2 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I am jealous for Zion with a great jealousy, —Yea, with great wrath, am I jealous for her.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتُدْعَى أُورُشَلِيمُ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَجَبَلُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ. | ٣ 3 |
Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned unto Zion, and will make my habitation in the midst of Jerusalem, —and Jerusalem, shall be called, The city of fidelity, and the mountain of Yahweh of hosts, The mountain of holiness.
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: سَيَجْلِسُ بَعْدُ ٱلشُّيُوخُ وَٱلشَّيْخَاتُ فِي أَسْوَاقِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ عَصَاهُ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ٤ 4 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet shall old men and old women sit in the broadways of Jerusalem, —Yea, each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days:
| وَتَمْتَلِئُ أَسْوَاقُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ ٱلصِّبْيَانِ وَٱلْبَنَاتِ لَاعِبِينَ فِي أَسْوَاقِهَا. | ٥ 5 |
And, the broadways of the city, shall be full of boys and girls, —playing in the broadways thereof.
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عَجِيبًا فِي أَعْيُنِ بَقِيَّةِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، أَفَيَكُونُ أَيْضًا عَجِيبًا فِي عَيْنَيَّ؟ يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٦ 6 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Because it will be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people, in those days, In mine own eyes also, shall it be marvellous? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts.
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: هَأَنَذَا أُخَلِّصُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنْ أَرْضِ مَغْرِبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. | ٧ 7 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! saving my people out of the land of the dawn, —and out of the land of the going in of the sun;
| وَآتِي بِهِمْ فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا،وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْبِرِّ. | ٨ 8 |
And I will bring them in, and they shall have their habitation in the midst of Jerusalem, —and shall become my people, and, I, will become their God, In faithfulness and in righteousness.
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: لِتَتَشَدَّدْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّامِعُونَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَوْمَ أُسِّسَ بَيْتُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ لِبِنَاءِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. | ٩ 9 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Let your hands be strong, ye who are hearing, in these days, these words, —from the mouth of the prophets who, on the day the house of Yahweh of hosts, was founded, [foretold] that, the temple, should be built: —
| لِأَنَّهُ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِلْإِنْسَانِ أُجْرَةٌ وَلَا لِلْبَهِيمَةِ أُجْرَةٌ، وَلَا سَلَامٌ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ أَوْ دَخَلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلضِّيقِ. وَأَطْلَقْتُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، ٱلرَّجُلَ عَلَى قَرِيبِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
That, before those days, hire for man, could not be obtained, and, hire for beast, was there none, —and, neither to him who went out nor to him who came in, was there success by reason of the danger, Yea I let all men loose, each one against his neighbour.
| أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلَا أَكُونُ أَنَا لِبَقِيَّةِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأُولَى، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١١ 11 |
But, now, not as in the former days, am I to this remnant of the people, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts;
| بَلْ زَرْعُ ٱلسَّلَامِ، ٱلْكَرْمُ يُعْطِي ثَمَرَهُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُعْطِي غَلَّتَهَا، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُعْطِي نَدَاهَا، وَأُمَلِّكُ بَقِيَّةَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
For, the seed, shall be secure—the vine, shall yield her fruit, and the land, yield her increase, and the heavens, yield their dew, —and I will cause this remnant of the people to inherit all these things.
| وَيَكُونُ كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ لَعْنَةً بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ يَا بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا وَيَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَذَلِكَ أُخَلِّصُكُمْ فَتَكُونُونَ بَرَكَةً فَلَا تَخَافُوا. لِتَتَشَدَّدْ أَيْدِيكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
And it shall come to pass that—Just as ye had become a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, So, will I save you, and ye shall become a blessing, —Do not fear, let your hands, be strong.
| «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: كَمَا أَنِّي فَكَّرْتُ فِي أَنْ أُسِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ حِينَ أَغْضَبَنِي آبَاؤُكُمْ، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَلَمْ أَنْدَمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Just as I planned to bring calamity upon you, when your fathers provoked me, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and I relented not,
| هَكَذَا عُدْتُ وَفَكَّرْتُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فِي أَنْ أُحْسِنَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا. لَا تَخَافُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
So, have I again planned, in these days, to do good unto Jerusalem, and unto the house of Judah, —Do not fear!
| هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأُمُورُ ٱلَّتِي تَفْعَلُونَهَا. لِيُكَلِّمْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ قَرِيبَهُ بِٱلْحَقِّ. ٱقْضُوا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَقَضَاءِ ٱلسَّلَامِ فِي أَبْوَابِكُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
These, are the things which ye shall do: Speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour, truth and the sentence of peace, pronounce ye in your gates;
| وَلَا يُفَكِّرَنَّ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلسُّوءِ عَلَى قَرِيبِهِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. وَلَا تُحِبُّوا يَمِينَ ٱلزُّورِ. لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ جَمِيعَهَا أَكْرَهُهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ 17 |
And let, no man, devise, the injury of his neighbour, in your heart, and the oath of falsehood, do not love, —for, all these, are things which I hate, declareth Yahweh.
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: | ١٨ 18 |
And the word of Yahweh of hosts came unto me, saying:
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنَّ صَوْمَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ وَصَوْمَ ٱلْخَامِسِ وَصَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَصَوْمَ ٱلْعَاشِرِ يَكُونُ لِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا ٱبْتِهَاجًا وَفَرَحًا وَأَعْيَادًا طَيِّبَةً. فَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلسَّلَامَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the eleventh, shall become to the house of Judah a gladness and a rejoicing, and pleasant appointed meetings, —But, truth and peace, see that ye love.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: سَيَأْتِي شُعُوبٌ بَعْدُ، وَسُكَّانُ مُدُنٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hoses, —It shall yet be that there shall come in peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
| وَسُكَّانُ وَاحِدَةٍ يَسِيرُونَ إِلَى أُخْرَى قَائِلِينَ: لِنَذْهَبْ ذَهَابًا لِنَتَرَضَّى وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَنَطْلُبَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. أَنَا أَيْضًا أَذْهَبُ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the inhabitants of one city, shall go, unto them of another, saying, Let us be going on to pacify the face of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of hosts, —I also, will go!
| فَتَأْتِي شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَأُمَمٌ قَوِيَّةٌ لِيَطْلُبُوا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلْيَتَرَضَّوْا وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So shall enter many peoples, and strong nations, to seek Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem, —and to pacify the face of Yahweh.
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ يُمْسِكُ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَلْسِنَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِذَيْلِ رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ قَائِلِينَ: نَذْهَبُ مَعَكُمْ لِأَنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا أَنَّ ٱللهَ مَعَكُمْ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, In those days, [it shall be] that ten men out of all the tongues of the nations, shall take hold, —yea take hold of the skirt of every one that is a Jew, saying—We will go with you! For we have heard [that], God, is with you.
