زَكَريّا 14

١ 1 انْظُرُوا هَا هُوَ يَوْمٌ مُقْبِلٌ لِلرَّبِّ، يُقْسَمُ فِيهِ مَا سُلِبَ مِنْكُمْ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.

A day is coming for the Lord, when your plundered possessions will be divided while you watch.

٢ 2 لأَنِّي أَجْمَعُ جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِتُحَارِبَهَا، فَتُؤْخَذُ الْمَدِينَةُ وَتُنْهَبُ الْبُيُوتُ وَتُغْتَصَبُ النِّسَاءُ وَيُسْبَى نِصْفُ أَهْلِهَا إِلَى الْمَنْفَى. إِنَّمَا لَا يَنْقَرِضُ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

And all the nations will gather to Jerusalem, to fight against it. The city will be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city will go into captivity, and the rest of the people left in the ruins.

٣ 3 وَلا يَلْبَثُ أَنْ يَهُبَّ الرَّبُّ لِيُحَارِبَ تِلْكَ الأُمَمَ، كَمَا كَانَ يُحَارِبُ فِي يَوْمِ الْقِتَالِ.

Then the Lord will go forth and fight against these nations, as once he fought in the day of battle.

٤ 4 وَتَقِفُ قَدَمَاهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ الْمُمْتَدِّ أَمَامَ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِاتِّجَاهِ الشَّرْقِ، فَيَنْشَقُّ جَبَلُ الزَّيْتُونِ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ عَنْ وَادٍ عَظِيمٍ جِدّاً، فَيَتَرَاجَعُ نِصْفُ الْجَبَلِ إِلَى الشِّمَالِ، وَالنِّصْفُ الآخَرُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ.

On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, (which is opposite Jerusalem, on the east). The Mount of Olives will be split into halves, from east to west, by an exceedingly great valley; and half of the mountain will slide northwards and half southwards.

٥ 5 وَتَهْرُبُونَ مِنْ خِلالِ وَادِي جِبَالِي الْمُمْتَدِّ إِلَى آصَلَ. تَهْرُبُونَ كَمَا هَرَبْتُمْ مِنَ الزَّلْزَلَةِ فِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَيَأْتِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي فِي مَوْكِبٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ قِدِّيسِيهِ.

You will escape through my valley – the valley between the hills will extend as far as Azel, and you will flee as you fled from before the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. But the Lord your God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

٦ 6 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَتَلاشَى النُّورُ وَلا يَكُونُ بَرْدٌ وَلا صَقِيعٌ.

And in that day, there will be no heat nor cold nor frost,

٧ 7 وَيَكُونُ يَوْمٌ مُتَوَاصِلٌ مَعْرُوفٌ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ، لَا نَهَارَ فِيهِ وَلا لَيْلَ، إِذْ يَغْمُرُ النَّهَارُ سَاعَاتِ الْمَسَاءِ.

but it will be constant day – it is known to the Lord – with neither day nor night. Even at evening time there will be light.

٨ 8 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَجْرِي مِيَاهٌ حَيَّةٌ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، يَصُبُّ نِصْفُهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ الشَّرْقِيّ (الْبَحْرِ الْمَيِّتِ)، وَنِصْفُهَا الآخَرُ فِي الْبَحْرِ الْغَرْبِيّ (الْبَحْرِ الأَبْيَضِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ) طَوَالَ الصَّيْفِ وَالشِّتَاءِ.

And on that day living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; in both summer and winter.

٩ 9 وَيَمْلِكُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ لَا يُذْكَرُ سِوَى اسْمِهِ.

The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one, and his name one.

١٠ 10 وَتَتَحَوَّلُ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ جَبْعَ شِمَالاً إِلَى رَمُّونَ جَنُوباً، إِلَى سَهْلٍ كَسَهْلِ عَرَبَةَ. أَمَّا أُورُشَلِيمُ فَلا تَبْرَحُ شَامِخَةً فِي مَوْقِعِهَا الْمُمْتَدِّ مِنْ بَوَّابَةِ بِنْيَامِينَ حَتَّى الْبَوَّابَةِ الأُولَى وَإِلَى بَوَّابَةِ الزَّوَايَا، وَمِنْ بُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إِلَى مَعَاصِرِ خَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ.

The land will be changed to plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, but Jerusalem will be high and inhabited as it stands, from the Benjamin Gate up to the place of the first gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate, and as far as the king’s winepresses.

١١ 11 وَتُصْبِحُ آهِلَةً إِذْ لَنْ يَحُلَّ بِها دَمَارٌ ثَانِيَةً، وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ آمِنَةً.

Jerusalem will be inhabited, for never again will it be doomed to destruction, and its people will abide in security.

١٢ 12 وَهَذَا هُوَ الْبَلاءُ الَّذِي يُعَاقِبُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ: تَتَهَرَّأُ لُحُومُهُمْ وَهُمْ وَاقِفُونَ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمْ، وَتَتَآكَلُ عُيُونُهُمْ فِي مَآقِيهَا، وَتَتْلَفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ.

This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who array themselves against Jerusalem: he will make their flesh rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouth.

١٣ 13 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُلْقِي الرَّبُّ الرُّعْبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ يَدُ الرَّجُلِ ضِدَّ يَدِ رَفِيقِهِ فِي آنٍ وَاحِدٍ وَيَهْلِكَانِ مَعاً.

On that day a great panic sent by the Lord will fall on them. Everyone will seize their neighbours and attack them.

١٤ 14 وَيُحَارِبُ أَبْنَاءُ يَهُوذَا أَيْضاً دِفَاعاً عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيَغْنَمُونَ ثَرْوَاتٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَأَثْوَابٍ، بِوَفْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ.

Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of the surrounding nations will be gathered up – gold and silver and piles of clothing.

١٥ 15 وَيُصِيبُ بَلاءٌ مُمَاثِلٌ الْخُيُولَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْجِمَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ وَسَائِرَ الْبَهَائِمِ الْمَوْجُودَةِ دَاخِلَ هَذِهِ الْمُعَسْكَرَاتِ.

Plague will fall upon the horses, mules, camels, and asses, and on all the animals in all those camps.

١٦ 16 فَيَصْعَدُ النَّاجُونَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَأَلَّبَتْ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، سَنَةً بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ لِيَعْبُدُوا الْمَلِكَ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ وَيَحْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ.

All who are left of all the nations which fought against Jerusalem will come up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the pilgrim-feast of tabernacles.

١٧ 17 وَإِنْ تَقَاعَسَتْ أَيَّةُ عَشِيرَةٍ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ عَنِ الصُّعُودِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِتَسْجُدَ لِلْمَلِكِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، يَمْتَنِعُ الْمَطَرُ عَنِ الْهُطُولِ عَلَى دِيَارِهِمْ.

Whoever of all the peoples of the earth will not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain.

١٨ 18 وَإِنْ أَبَى أَهْلُ مِصْرَ الصُّعُودَ لِلاشْتِرَاكِ فِي الاحْتِفَالِ، يَحُلُّ بِهِمِ الْبَلاءُ الَّذي يُعَاقِبُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي لَا تَجِيءُ لِلاحْتِفَالِ بِعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ.

If the family of Egypt does not go up nor enter in, on them also will come the plague with which the Lord will strike the nations.

١٩ 19 هَذَا هُوَ عِقَابُ مِصْرَ وَعِقَابُ سَائِرِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تَأْبَى الْمَجِيءَ لِلاحْتِفَالِ بِعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ.

This will be the punishment for the sin of Egypt and the punishment for the sin of all nations which do not come up to keep the feast of the tabernacles.

٢٠ 20 وَيُنْقَشُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى أَجْرَاسِ الْخَيْلِ: «قُدْسٌ لِلرَّبِّ». وَتَكُونُ الْقُدُورُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ مُقَدَّسَةً كَالْمَنَاضِحِ الَّتِي أَمَامَ الْمَذْبَحِ.

On that day there will be inscribed upon the bells of the horses, ‘Holy to the Lord’ and the pots in the house of the Lord will be as holy as the sacrificial bowls before the altars.

٢١ 21 بَلْ يَكُونُ كُلُّ قِدْرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي يَهُوذَا مُقَدَّساً لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ، فَيُصْبِحُ فِي وُسْعِ الْمُقَرِّبِينَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا وَيَسْتَخْدِمُوا مَا يَشَاؤُونَ مِنْهَا، لِيَطْبُخُوا فِيهَا لَحْمَ الذَّبِيحَةِ. وَلا يَبْقَى فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ تُجَّارٌ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of hosts and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and cook the sacrifices in them. There will be no more traffickers in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
