زَكَريَّا 9

١ 1 وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ حَدْرَاخَ وَدِمَشْقَ مَحَلُّهُ. لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ عَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَكُلَّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach and its respite in Damascus. For the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is of the Lord.

٢ 2 وَحَمَاةُ أَيْضًا تُتَاخِمُهَا، وَصُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ حَكِيمَةً جِدًّا.

Hamath also is at its limits, and Tyre and Sidon. For, of course, they have assumed themselves to be exceedingly wise.

٣ 3 وَقَدْ بَنَتْ صُورُ حِصْنًا لِنَفْسِهَا، وَكَوَّمَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ كَٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلذَّهَبَ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ.

And Tyre has built herself a fortress, and she has piled together silver, as if it were soil, and gold, as if it were the mud of the streets.

٤ 4 هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ يَمْتَلِكُهَا وَيَضْرِبُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ قُوَّتَهَا، وَهِيَ تُؤْكَلُ بِٱلنَّارِ.

Behold, the Lord will possess her, and he will strike her strength in the sea, and she will be devoured by fire.

٥ 5 تَرَى أَشْقَلُونُ فَتَخَافُ، وَغَزَّةُ فَتَتَوَجَّعُ جِدًّا، وَعَقْرُونُ. لِأَنَّهُ يُخْزِيهَا ٱنْتِظَارُهَا، وَٱلْمَلِكُ يَبِيدُ مِنْ غَزَّةَ، وَأَشْقَلُونُ لَا تُسْكَنُ.

Ashkelon will see and be afraid. Both Gaza and he will be very sorrowful, as well as Ekron, because her hope has been confounded. And the king will pass away from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

٦ 6 وَيَسْكُنُ فِي أَشْدُودَ زَنِيمٌ، وَأَقْطَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

And the divider will sit in Ashdod, and I will scatter the arrogance of the Philistines.

٧ 7 وَأَنْزِعُ دِمَاءَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَرِجْسَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْنَانِهِ، فَيَبْقَى هُوَ أَيْضًا لِإِلَهِنَا، وَيَكُونُ كَأَمِيرٍ فِي يَهُوذَا، وَعَقْرُونُ كَيَبُوسِيٍّ.

And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth, and yet he will be left for our God, and he will be like a governor in Judah, and Ekron will be like a Jebusite.

٨ 8 وَأَحُلُّ حَوْلَ بَيْتِي بِسَبَبِ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلذَّاهِبِ وَٱلْآئِبِ، فَلَا يَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدُ جَابِي ٱلْجِزْيَةِ. فَإِنِّي ٱلْآنَ رَأَيْتُ بِعَيْنَيَّ.

And I will encircle my house with those who serve me in war, going and returning, and the exactor will no longer pass over them. For now I have seen with my eyes.

٩ 9 اِبْتَهِجِي جِدًّا يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱهْتِفِي يَا بِنْتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكِ. هُوَ عَادِلٌ وَمَنْصُورٌ وَدِيعٌ، وَرَاكِبٌ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَانٍ.

Rejoice well, daughter of Zion, shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your King will come to you: the Just One, the Savior. He is poor and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt, the son of a donkey.

١٠ 10 وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَتُقْطَعُ قَوْسُ ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ لِلْأُمَمِ، وَسُلْطَانُهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And I will scatter the four-horse chariot out of Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be destroyed. And he will speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power will be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.

١١ 11 وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا فَإِنِّي بِدَمِ عَهْدِكِ قَدْ أَطْلَقْتُ أَسْرَاكِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ.

You, likewise, by the blood of your testimony, have sent forth your prisoners from the pit, in which there is no water.

١٢ 12 ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ يَا أَسْرَى ٱلرَّجَاءِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا أُصَرِّحُ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكِ ضِعْفَيْنِ.

Turn back to the fortress, prisoners of hope. Today, I also announce that I will repay you double,

١٣ 13 لِأَنِّي أَوْتَرْتُ يَهُوذَا لِنَفْسِي، وَمَلَأْتُ ٱلْقَوْسَ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَنْهَضْتُ أَبْنَاءَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى بَنِيكِ يَا يَاوَانُ، وَجَعَلْتُكِ كَسَيْفِ جَبَّارٍ.

because I have stretched out Judah for myself, like a bow; I have filled Ephraim. And I will raise up your sons, Zion, above your sons, Greece. And I will set you as the sword of the strength.

١٤ 14 وَيُرَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَوْقَهُمْ، وَسَهْمُهُ يَخْرُجُ كَٱلْبَرْقِ، وَٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَنْفُخُ فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَيَسِيرُ فِي زَوَابِعِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

And the Lord God will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. And the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and he will go forth into the whirlwind of the South.

١٥ 15 رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يُحَامِي عَنْهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَدُوسُونَ حِجَارَةَ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَضُجُّونَ كَمَا مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَيَمْتَلِئُونَ كَٱلْمَنْضَحِ وَكَزَوَايَا ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

The Lord of hosts will protect them. And they will devour and subdue with the stones of the sling. And, when drinking, they will become inebriated, as if with wine, and they will be filled like bowls and like the horns of the altar.

١٦ 16 وَيُخَلِّصُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. كَقَطِيعٍ شَعْبَهُ، بَلْ كَحِجَارَةِ ٱلتَّاجِ مَرْفُوعَةً عَلَى أَرْضِهِ.

And in that day, the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people. For holy stones will be lifted up over his land.

١٧ 17 مَا أَجْوَدَهُ وَمَا أَجْمَلَهُ! اَلْحِنْطَةُ تُنْمِي ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، وَٱلْمِسْطَارُ ٱلْعَذَارَى.

For what is his goodness and what is his beauty, other than grain among the elect and wine springing forth virgins?
