زَكَريّا 11
| افْتَحْ أَبْوَابَكَ يَا لُبْنَانُ حَتَّى تَلْتَهِمَ النَّارُ أَرْزَكَ. | ١ 1 |
Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
| انْتَحِبْ أَيُّهَا السَّرْوُ لأَنَّ الأَرْزَ قَدْ تَهَاوَى، وَالْعُظَمَاءَ قَدْ هَلَكُوا. انْتَحِبْ يَا بَلُّوطَ بَاشَانَ لأَنَّ الْغَابَاتِ الْكَثِيفَةَ دُمِّرَتْ. | ٢ 2 |
Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O you oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
| اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَى نُوَاحِ الرُّعَاةِ (أَيِ الْحُكَّامِ) لأَنَّ مَرَابِعَهُمُ الثَّرِيَّةَ قَدْ تَلِفَتْ. أَنْصِتُوا إِلَى زَمْجَرَةِ الأُسُودِ لأَنَّ أَجَمَاتِ وَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ قَدْ صَارَتْ خَرَاباً. | ٣ 3 |
There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي: «ارْعَ الْغَنَمَ الْمُعَدَّ لِلذَّبْحِ، | ٤ 4 |
Thus says the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
| الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُهُمْ مَالِكُوهُمْ وَيُفْلِتُونَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَبِيعُهُمْ يَقُولُ: تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَثْرَيْتُ. أَمَّا رُعَاتُهُمْ فَلا يُضْمِرُونَ لَهُمْ شَفَقَةً». | ٥ 5 |
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «لِذَلِكَ لَا أُشْفِقُ بَعْدُ عَلَى سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، بَلْ أَنَا أُسَلِّمُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى قَرِيبِهِ أَوْ مَالِكِهِ، فَيُهْلِكُونَ النَّاسَ وَلا أُنْقِذُ أَحَداً مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ». | ٦ 6 |
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD: but, see, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
| وَهَكَذَا صِرْتُ رَاعِياً لأَهْزَلِ الْغَنَمِ الْمُعَدِّ لِلذَّبْحِ، وَأَخَذْتُ لِنَفْسِي عَصَوَيْنِ دَعَوْتُ إِحْدَاهُمَا نِعْمَةَ وَالأُخْرَى وَحْدَةً، وَقُمْتُ بِرِعَايَةِ الْغَنَمِ. | ٧ 7 |
And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
| وَفِي غُضُونِ شَهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ أَفْنَيْتُ الرُّعَاةَ الثَّلاثَةَ. وَلَكِنْ صَبْرِي نَفَدَ عَلَى الأَغْنَامِ، كَمَا أَضْمَرُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً لِيَ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: «لَنْ أَكُونَ لَكُمْ رَاعِياً. مَنْ يَمُتْ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَمُتْ، وَمَنْ يَهْلِكْ فَلْيَهْلِكْ، وَلْيَأْكُلْ مَنْ يَبْقَى مِنْكُمْ لَحْمَ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضاً». | ٩ 9 |
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dies, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
| وَتَنَاوَلْتُ عَصَايَ، نِعْمَةَ، وَكَسَرْتُهَا نَاقِضاً بِذَلِكَ الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
| وَهَكَذَا بَطَلَ الْعَهْدُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَأَدْرَكَ أَهْزَلُ الْغَنَمِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُرَاقِبُونَنِي أَنَّ مَا جَرَى كَانَ بِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ. | ١١ 11 |
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited on me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
| ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ طَابَ لَكُمْ فَأَعْطُونِي أُجْرَتِي، وَإلَّا فَاحْتَفِظُوا بِها». فَوَزَنُوا أُجْرَتِي ثَلاثِينَ شَاقِلاً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And I said to them, If you think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: «أَعْطِ هَذَا الثَّمَنَ الْكَرِيمَ الَّذِي ثَمَّنُونِي بِهِ إِلَى الْفَخَّارِيِّ». فَأَخَذْتُ الثَّلاثِينَ قِطْعَةً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَأَلْقَيْتُهَا فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْفَخَّارِيِّ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
| وَحَطَّمْتُ عَصَايَ الأُخْرَى، وَحْدَةَ لأَنْقُضَ الإِخَاءَ بَيْنَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ وَتَجَهَّزْ ثَانِيَةً بِأَدَوَاتِ رَاعٍ أَحْمَقَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the LORD said to me, Take to you yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
| فَهَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أَقُيِمَ فِي الأَرْضِ رَاعِياً لَا يَعْبَأُ بِالْغَنَمِ الشَّارِدَةِ، وَلا يَفْتَقِدُ الْحُمْلانَ أَوْ يَجْبُرُ الْمَكْسُورِينَ، وَلا يُغَذِّي الصَّحِيحَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ يَفْتَرِسُ السِّمَانَ مِنْهُمْ وَيَنْزِعُ أَظْلافَهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
For, see, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
| وَيْلٌ لِلرَّاعِي الأَحْمَقِ الَّذِي يَهْجُرُ الْقَطِيعَ. لِيَبْتُرِ السَّيْفُ ذِرَاعَهُ وَيَفْقَأْ عَيْنَهُ الْيُمْنَى، فَتَيْبَسَ ذِرَاعُهُ وَتَكُفَّ عَيْنُهُ الْيُمْنَى عَنِ الْبَصَرِ». | ١٧ 17 |
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaves the flock! the sword shall be on his arm, and on his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
