زَكَريّا 12

١ 1 وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ بِشَأْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ بَاسِطُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُرْسِي الأَرْضَ، وَجَابِلُ رُوحِ الإِنْسَانِ فِيهِ:

An oracle. The word of YHWH concerning Israel. YHWH, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

٢ 2 «هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَأْسَ خَمْرٍ تَتَرَنَّحُ مِنْهَا جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها، فَتُحَاصِرُ يَهُوذَا أَيْضاً فِي أَثْنَاءِ حِصَارِهَا لأُورُشَلِيمَ.

"Look, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.

٣ 3 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَجْعَلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَصَخْرَةٍ ثَقِيلَةٍ تَعْجُزُ عَنْ حَمْلِهَا جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ حَمْلَهَا يَنْشَقُّ شَقّاً، وَيَتَأَلَّبُ عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ.

It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

٤ 4 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أُصِيبُ كُلَّ فَرَسٍ مِنْ جُيُوشِ الأَعْدَاءِ بِالرُّعْبِ، وَفَارِسَهُ بِالْجُنُونِ، وَأَرْعَى بِرِضَايَ شَعْبَ يَهُوذَا، وَأَبْتَلِي جَمِيعَ خُيُولِ الأُمَمِ بِالْعَمَى.

In that day," says YHWH, "I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

٥ 5 فَيَقُولُ آنَئِذٍ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: إِنَّ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَعِزَّاءُ بِفَضْلِ قُوَّةِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ إِلَهِهِمْ.

The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in YHWH of hosts their God.'

٦ 6 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَجْعَلُ عَشَائِرَ يَهُوذَا كَمُسْتَوْقَدِ نَارٍ بَيْنَ الْحَطَبِ، أَوْ كَمِشْعَلٍ مُلْتَهِبٍ بَيْنَ أَكْدَاسِ الْحِنْطَةِ، فَيَلْتَهِمُونَ الشُّعُوبَ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ مِمَّنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ، بَيْنَمَا تَظَلُّ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُسْتَقِرَّةً آمِنَةً آهِلَةً فِي مَوْضِعِهَا.

In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

٧ 7 وَيُخَلِّصُ الرَّبُّ أَوَّلاً خِيَامَ يَهُوذَا لِئَلّا يَتَعَاظَمَ افْتِخَارُ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَأَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى سَائِرِ يَهُوذَا.

YHWH also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

٨ 8 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَحْفَظُ الرَّبُّ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَكُونُ أَضْعَفُهُمْ قَوِيًّا قَادِراً مِثْلَ دَاوُدَ، وَيَتَوَلَّى بَيْتُ دَاوُدَ قِيَادَتَهُمْ فِي الْطَّلِيعَةِ، تَمَاماً كَمَا كَانَ اللهُ أَوْ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ.

In that day YHWH will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of YHWH before them.

٩ 9 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَعْمَلُ عَلَى إِهْلاكِ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ الزَّاحِفِينَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

١٠ 10 وَأُفِيضُ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ دَاوُدَ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ رُوحَ النِّعْمَةِ وَالابْتِهَالِ، حَتَّى إِذَا نَظَرُوا إِلَيَّ، أَنَا الَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ يَنُوحُونَ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يَنُوحُ وَالِدٌ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ الْوَحِيدِ، مُتَفَجِّعِينَ عَلَيْهِ كَتَفَجُّعِهِمْ عَلَى مَوْتِ بِكْرِهِمْ.

I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of petition; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

١١ 11 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ النُّوَاحُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مُمَاثِلاً لِلنُّوَاحِ فِي هَدَدْرِمُّونَ فِي سَهْلِ مَجِدُّو (حَيْثُ قُتِلَ الْمَلِكُ يُوشِيَّا).

In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

١٢ 12 فَيَشِيعُ النَّحِيبُ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْبِلادِ، فَتَنُوحُ كُلُّ عَشِيرَةٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، فَيَبْكِي رِجَالُ عَشِيرَةِ دَاوُدَ مُنْفَرِدِينَ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ، وَالنِّسَاءُ عَنِ الرِّجَالِ، وَرِجَالُ عَشِيرَةِ ذُرِّيَّةِ نَاثَانَ مُنْفَرِدِينَ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ، وَالنِّسَاءُ عَنِ الرِّجَالِ.

The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

١٣ 13 وَكَذَلِكَ يَنُوحُ رِجَالُ وَنِسَاءُ عَشِيرَةِ لاوِي كُلٌّ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، وَرِجَالُ وَنِسَاءُ عَشِيرَةِ شَمْعِي كُلٌّ عَلَى حِدَةٍ.

the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

١٤ 14 وَأَيْضاً يَنُوحُ رِجَالُ وَنِسَاءُ سَائِرِ الْعَشَائِرِ الْبَاقِيَةِ كُلٌّ عَلَى حِدَةٍ».

all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
