زَكَريّا 8
| وَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَيَّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ: | ١ 1 |
Again the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying:
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنِّي أَغَارُ عَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً مُفْعَمَةً بِغَضَبٍ شَدِيدٍ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهَا. | ٢ 2 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I am jealous for Zion with great zeal; I am jealous for her with great fervor.”
| لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا أَنَا عَائِدٌ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ لأُقِيمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتُدْعَى آنَئِذٍ مَدِينَةَ الْحَقِّ، كَمَا يُدْعَى جَبَلُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ الْجَبَلَ الْمُقَدَّسَ. | ٣ 3 |
This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.”
| وَيَعُودُ الشُّيُوخُ مِنْ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ، مِمَّنْ يَتَّكِئُونَ عَلَى عِصِيِّهِمْ لِفَرْطِ كِبَرِ أَعْمَارِهِمْ، فَيَجْلِسُونَ فِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ 4 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand because of great age.
| وَتَكْتَظُّ طُرُقَاتُهَا بِالأَوْلادِ وَالْبَنَاتِ اللّاعِبِينَ فِيهَا. | ٥ 5 |
And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing there.”
| فَإِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ عَجِيباً فِي أَعْيُنِ الْبَقِيَّةِ النَّاجِيَةِ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، أَيَكُونُ عَجِيباً فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ؟ | ٦ 6 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “If this is impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be impossible in My eyes?” declares the LORD of Hosts.
| هَا أَنَا أُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي الْمَنْفِيَّ فِي أَرْضِ الْمَشْرِقِ أَوْ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ. | ٧ 7 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.
| وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيهَا، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً بِالْحَقِّ وَالْعَدْلِ. | ٨ 8 |
I will bring them back to dwell in Jerusalem, where they will be My people, and I will be their faithful and righteous God.”
| وَلْتَتَشَدَّدْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ يَا مَنْ تَسْمَعُونَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِها الأَنْبِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا حَاضِرِينَ عِنْدَ إِرْسَاءِ أَسَاسِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ لإِعَادَةِ بِنَائِهِ، | ٩ 9 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Let your hands be strong, you who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were present when the foundations were laid to rebuild the temple, the house of the LORD of Hosts.
| فَإِنَّهُ قَبْلَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ لَمْ تُدْفَعْ أُجْرَةٌ لِرَجُلٍ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَأْمَنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ فِي ذِهَابِهِ وَإِيَابِهِ، لأَنَّنِي أَثَرْتُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ ضِدَّ صَاحِبِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
For before those days neither man nor beast received wages, nor was there safety from the enemy for anyone who came or went, for I had turned every man against his neighbor.
| أَمَّا الآنَ فَلَنْ أَتَعَامَلَ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ شَعْبِي النَّاجِيَةِ كَمَا تَعَامَلْتُ مَعَهُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١١ 11 |
But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as I did in the past,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
| بَلْ يَزْرَعُونَ فِي سَلامٍ، فَتُعْطِي الْكُرُومُ ثَمَرَهَا وَالأَرْضُ غَلّاتِهَا، وَتَجُودُ السَّمَاءُ بِأَمْطَارِهَا، وَأُوَرِّثُ بَقِيَّةَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ النَّاجِيَةَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
“For the seed will be prosperous, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will yield its produce, and the skies will give their dew. To the remnant of this people I will give all these things as an inheritance.
| وَكَمَا كُنْتُمْ لَعْنَةً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ يَا أَبْنَاءَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَإِنَّنِي أُخَلِّصُكُمْ فَتُصْبِحُونَ بَرَكَةً. لَا تَجْزَعُوا، بَلْ تَشَجَّعُوا. | ١٣ 13 |
As you have been a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your hands be strong.”
| لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، كَمَا وَطَّدْتُ الْعَزْمَ أَنْ أُعَاقِبَكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ عِنْدَمَا أَثَارَ آبَاؤُكُمْ سَخَطِي، وَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ عَنْ عَزْمِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، | ١٤ 14 |
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Just as I resolved to bring disaster upon you when your fathers provoked Me to anger, and I did not relent,” says the LORD of Hosts,
| فَإِنِّي عُدْتُ أَيْضاً فَقَضَيْتُ فِي هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ أَنْ أُحْسِنَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَإِلَى شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا. فَلا تَجْزَعُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
“so now I have resolved to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
| وَهَذَا مَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوهُ: لَا تَكْذِبُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَاحْكُمُوا فِي سَاحَاتِ قَضَائِكُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ وَأَحْكَامِ السَّلامِ. | ١٦ 16 |
These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
| لَا يُضْمِرْ أَحَدُكُمْ شَرّاً فِي قَلْبِهِ لِقَرِيبِهِ، وَلا تَحْلِفُوا يَمِينَ زُورٍ، فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ جَمِيعَهَا مَقَتُّهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٧ 17 |
do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD.
| ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١٨ 18 |
Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنَّ أَصْوَامَكُمُ فِي الشُّهُورِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْخَامِسِ وَالسَّابِعِ وَالْعَاشِرِ سَتَكُونُ مَوَاسِمَ ابْتِهَاجٍ وَفَرَحٍ وَأَعْيَادٍ سَعِيدَةٍ يَتَمَتَّعُ بِها شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا، لِهَذَا أَحِبُّوا الْحَقَّ وَالسَّلامَ. | ١٩ 19 |
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: The fasts of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, cheerful feasts for the house of Judah. Therefore you are to love both truth and peace.”
| وَسَتَأْتِي شُعُوبٌ أَيْضاً وَأَفْوَاجٌ مِنْ سُكَّانِ مُدُنٍ كَثِيرَةٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Peoples will yet come—the residents of many cities—
| وَيَمْضِي أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ الأُخْرَى قَائِلِينَ: هَيَّا نَذْهَبْ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ لِنَطْلُبَ رِضَى وَجْهِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ وَنَلْتَمِسَ بَرَكَتَهُ، لأَنَّنَا عَلَى أَيِّ حَالٍ مُنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
and the residents of one city will go to another, saying: ‘Let us go at once to plead before the LORD and to seek the LORD of Hosts. I myself am going.’
| فَتَتَوَافَدُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَشُعُوبٌ قَوِيَّةٌ لِيَلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِيَحْظَوْا بِرِضَاهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead before the LORD.”
| فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ يَتَشَبَّثُ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الأُمَمِ بِثَوْبِ رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ قَائِلِينَ: دَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ مَعَكُمْ، لأَنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَعَكُمْ». | ٢٣ 23 |
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
