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 Sedrach, and his sacrifice [shall be] in Damascus; for the Lord looks upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel.

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

And in Emath, [even] in her coasts, [are] Tyre and Sidon, because they were very wise.

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

And Tyrus built strongholds for herself, and heaped up silver as dust, and gathered gold as the mire of the ways.

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

And therefore the Lord will take them for a possession, and will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be consumed with fire.

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

Ascalon shall see, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Accaron; for she is ashamed at her trespass; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.

٦ 6 وَيَسْكُنُ فِي أَشْدُودَ زَنِيمٌ، وَأَقْطَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

And aliens shall dwell in Azotus, and I will bring down the pride 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 their blood out of their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth; and these also shall be left to our God, and they shall be as a captain of a thousand in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.

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

And I will set up a defence for my house, that they may not pass through, nor turn back, neither shall there any more come upon them one to drive them away: for now have I seen with mine 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 greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim [it] aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to you, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal.

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 he shall destroy the chariots out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be utterly destroyed; and [there shall be] abundance and peace out of the nations; and he shall rule over the waters as far as the sea, and the rivers [to] the ends of the earth.

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

And you by the blood of your covenant has sent forth your prisoners out of the pit that has no water.

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

You shall dwell in strongholds, you prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of your captivity I will recompense you double.

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

For I have bent you, O Juda, for myself [as] a bow, I have filled Ephraim; and I will raise up your children, O Sion, against the children of the Greeks, and I will handle you as the sword of a warrior.

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

And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.

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

The Lord Almighty shall protect them, and they shall destroy them, and overwhelm them with sling-stones; and they shall swallow them down as wine, and fill the bowls as the altar.

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

And the Lord their God shall save them in that day, [even] his people as a flock; for holy stones are rolled upon his land.

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

For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.
