زَكَريّا 2

١ 1 ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنِي (فِي الرُّؤْيَا) وَإذَا بِي أَرَى رَجُلاً حَامِلاً بِيَدِهِ حَبْلَ قِيَاسٍ،

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

٢ 2 فَسَأَلْتُهُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ؟» فَأَجَابَنِي: «لِأَمْسَحَ أَرْضَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَأَرَى مِقْدَارَ طُولِهَا وَعَرْضِهَا».

“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

٣ 3 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي لِلِقَاءِ مَلاكٍ آخَرَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ،

Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him

٤ 4 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَسْرِعْ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا الشَّابِّ: سَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ كَسَهْلٍ مَكْشُوفٍ آهِلَةً بِالنَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ الْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِيهَا

and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.

٥ 5 لأَنِّي سَأَكُونُ لَهَا سُوراً مُحِيطاً مِنْ نَارٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَمَجْداً فِي دَاخِلِهَا».

For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”

٦ 6 هَيَّا أَسْرِعُوا، اهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ، فَقَدْ شَتَّتُّكُمْ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَرْجَاءِ الأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.

٧ 7 أَمَّا الآنَ، فَهَيَّا اهْرُبُوا إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ يَا مَنْ أَقَمْتُمْ فِي أَرْضِ بَابِلَ.

“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

٨ 8 فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سَلَبَتْكُمْ إِعْلاءً لِمَجْدِهِ، لأَنَّ مَنْ يَمَسُّكُمْ يَمَسُّ حَدَقَةَ عَيْنِهِ.

For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—

٩ 9 هَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُهُمْ بِيَدِي فَيَصِيرُونَ نَهْباً لِعَبِيدِهِمْ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي حَقّاً.

I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”

١٠ 10 رَنِّمِي وَابْتَهِجِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، لأَنِّي قَادِمٌ لأُقِيمَ فِي وَسَطِكِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.

١١ 11 فَتَنْضَمُّ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً، فَأُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكِ.

“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.

١٢ 12 وَيَرِثُ الرَّبُّ يَهُوذَا نَصِيباً لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَيَرْجِعُ فَيَصْطَفِي لِنَفْسِهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.

١٣ 13 لِيَصْمُتْ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ هَبَّ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ.

Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
