Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah),
| מַשָּׂ֤א דְבַר־יְהוָה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַדְרָ֔ךְ וְדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק מְנֻחָתֹ֑ו כִּ֤י לַֽיהוָה֙ עֵ֣ין אָדָ֔ם וְכֹ֖ל שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
2 and also Hamath, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
| וְגַם־חֲמָ֖ת תִּגְבָּל־בָּ֑הּ צֹ֣ר וְצִידֹ֔ון כִּ֥י חָֽכְמָ֖ה מְאֹֽד׃ |
3 And Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
| וַתִּ֥בֶן צֹ֛ר מָצֹ֖ור לָ֑הּ וַתִּצְבָּר־כֶּ֙סֶף֙ כֶּֽעָפָ֔ר וְחָר֖וּץ כְּטִ֥יט חוּצֹֽות׃ |
4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire.
| הִנֵּ֤ה אֲדֹנָי֙ יֹֽורִשֶׁ֔נָּה וְהִכָּ֥ה בַיָּ֖ם חֵילָ֑הּ וְהִ֖יא בָּאֵ֥שׁ תֵּאָכֵֽל׃ |
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
| תֵּרֶ֨א אַשְׁקְלֹ֜ון וְתִירָ֗א וְעַזָּה֙ וְתָחִ֣יל מְאֹ֔ד וְעֶקְרֹ֖ון כִּֽי־הֹבִ֣ישׁ מֶבָּטָ֑הּ וְאָ֤בַד מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ מֵֽעַזָּ֔ה וְאַשְׁקְלֹ֖ון לֹ֥א תֵשֵֽׁב׃ |
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
| וְיָשַׁ֥ב מַמְזֵ֖ר בְּאַשְׁדֹּ֑וד וְהִכְרַתִּ֖י גְּאֹ֥ון פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ |
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth. And he also shall be a remnant for our God, and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
| וַהֲסִרֹתִ֨י דָמָ֜יו מִפִּ֗יו וְשִׁקֻּצָיו֙ מִבֵּ֣ין שִׁנָּ֔יו וְנִשְׁאַ֥ר גַּם־ה֖וּא לֵֽאלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְהָיָה֙ כְּאַלֻּ֣ף בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה וְעֶקְרֹ֖ון כִּיבוּסִֽי׃ |
8 And I will encamp the army around my house, that none pass through or return, and no oppressor shall pass through them any more. For now I have seen with my eyes.
| וְחָנִ֨יתִי לְבֵיתִ֤י מִצָּבָה֙ מֵעֹבֵ֣ר וּמִשָּׁ֔ב וְלֹֽא־יַעֲבֹ֧ר עֲלֵיהֶ֛ם עֹ֖וד נֹגֵ֑שׂ כִּ֥י עַתָּ֖ה רָאִ֥יתִי בְעֵינָֽי׃ ס |
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, thy king comes to thee. He is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.
| גִּילִ֨י מְאֹ֜ד בַּת־צִיֹּ֗ון הָרִ֙יעִי֙ בַּ֣ת יְרוּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם הִנֵּ֤ה מַלְכֵּךְ֙ יָ֣בֹוא לָ֔ךְ צַדִּ֥יק וְנֹושָׁ֖ע ה֑וּא עָנִי֙ וְרֹכֵ֣ב עַל־חֲמֹ֔ור וְעַל־עַ֖יִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנֹֽות׃ |
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace to the nations. And his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
| וְהִכְרַתִּי־רֶ֣כֶב מֵאֶפְרַ֗יִם וְסוּס֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם וְנִכְרְתָה֙ קֶ֣שֶׁת מִלְחָמָ֔ה וְדִבֶּ֥ר שָׁלֹ֖ום לַגֹּויִ֑ם וּמָשְׁלֹו֙ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֔ם וּמִנָּהָ֖ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
| גַּם־אַ֣תְּ בְּדַם־בְּרִיתֵ֗ךְ שִׁלַּ֤חְתִּי אֲסִירַ֙יִךְ֙ מִבֹּ֔ור אֵ֥ין מַ֖יִם בֹּֽו׃ |
12 Turn you back to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will render double to thee.
| שׁ֚וּבוּ לְבִצָּרֹ֔ון אֲסִירֵ֖י הַתִּקְוָ֑ה גַּם־הַיֹּ֕ום מַגִּ֥יד מִשְׁנֶ֖ה אָשִׁ֥יב לָֽךְ׃ |
13 For I have bent Judah for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
| כִּֽי־דָרַ֨כְתִּי לִ֜י יְהוּדָ֗ה קֶ֚שֶׁת מִלֵּ֣אתִי אֶפְרַ֔יִם וְעֹורַרְתִּ֤י בָנַ֙יִךְ֙ צִיֹּ֔ון עַל־בָּנַ֖יִךְ יָוָ֑ן וְשַׂמְתִּ֖יךְ כְּחֶ֥רֶב גִּבֹּֽור׃ |
14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them. And his arrow shall go forth as the lightning. And the lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
| וַֽיהוָה֙ עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם יֵֽרָאֶ֔ה וְיָצָ֥א כַבָּרָ֖ק חִצֹּ֑ו וַֽאדֹנָ֤י יְהֹוִה֙ בַּשֹּׁופָ֣ר יִתְקָ֔ע וְהָלַ֖ךְ בְּסַעֲרֹ֥ות תֵּימָֽן׃ |
15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them. And they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones. And they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine, and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
| יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֮ יָגֵ֣ן עֲלֵיהֶם֒ וְאָכְל֗וּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ אַבְנֵי־קֶ֔לַע וְשָׁת֥וּ הָמ֖וּ כְּמֹו־יָ֑יִן וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק כְּזָוִיֹּ֖ות מִזְבֵּֽחַ׃ |
16 And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people, as for the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
| וְֽהֹושִׁיעָ֞ם יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֛ם בַּיֹּ֥ום הַה֖וּא כְּצֹ֣אן עַמֹּ֑ו כִּ֚י אַבְנֵי־נֵ֔זֶר מִֽתְנֹוסְסֹ֖ות עַל־אַדְמָתֹֽו׃ |
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
| כִּ֥י מַה־טּוּבֹ֖ו וּמַה־יָפְיֹ֑ו דָּגָן֙ בַּֽחוּרִ֔ים וְתִירֹ֖ושׁ יְנֹובֵ֥ב בְּתֻלֹֽות׃ |
