< Zechariah 6 >

1 Againe, I turned and lift vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came foure charets out from betweene two mountaines, and the mountaines were mountaines of brasse.
فَعُدْتُ وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِأَرْبَعِ مَرْكَبَاتٍ خَارِجَاتٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَبَلَيْنِ، وَٱلْجَبَلَانِ جَبَلَا نُحَاسٍ.١
2 In the first charet were red horses, and in the second charet blacke horses,
فِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلْأُولَى خَيْلٌ حُمْرٌ، وَفِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ خَيْلٌ دُهْمٌ،٢
3 And in the thirde charet white horses, and in the fourth charet, horses of diuers colours, and reddish.
وَفِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ خَيْلٌ شُهْبٌ، وَفِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ خَيْلٌ مُنَمَّرَةٌ شُقْرٌ.٣
4 Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell that talked with mee, What are these, my Lord?
فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»٤
5 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto mee, These are the foure spirites of the heauen, which goe foorth from standing with the Lord of all the earth.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ وَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ أَرْوَاحُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعُ خَارِجَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْوُقُوفِ لَدَى سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.٥
6 That with the blacke horse went forth into the land of the North, and the white went out after them, and they of diuers colours went forth toward the South countrey.
ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا ٱلْخَيْلُ ٱلدُّهْمُ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَٱلشُّهْبُ خَارِجَةٌ وَرَاءَهَا، وَٱلْمُنَمَّرَةُ تَخْرُجُ نَحْوَ أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ».٦
7 And the reddish went out, and required to go, and passe through the world, and he sayde, Goe passe through the worlde. So they went thorowout the world.
أَمَّا ٱلشُّقْرُ فَخَرَجَتْ وَٱلْتَمَسَتْ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ لِتَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبِي وَتَمَشَّيْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». فَتَمَشَّتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.٧
8 Then cryed hee vpon me, and spake vnto me, saying, Beholde, these that goe towarde the North countrey, haue pacified my spirit in the North countrey.
فَصَرَخَ عَلَيَّ وَكَلَّمنِي قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا ٱلْخَارِجُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَدْ سَكَّنُوا رُوحِي فِي أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ».٨
9 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:٩
10 Take of them of ye captiuitie, euen of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and Iedaiah, which are come from Babel, and come thou the same day, and goe vnto the house of Ioshiah, the sonne of Zephaniah.
«خُذْ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ مِنْ حَلْدَايَ وَمِنْ طُوبِيَّا وَمِنْ يَدَعْيَا ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِنْ بَابِلَ، وَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَٱدْخُلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ صَفَنْيَا.١٠
11 Take euen siluer, and golde, and make crownes, and set them vpon the head of Iehoshua, the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
ثُمَّ خُذْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَٱعْمَلْ تِيجَانًا وَضَعْهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادَقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.١١
12 And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, and sayth, Behold the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall growe vp out of his place, and he shall build the Temple of the Lord.
وَكَلِّمْهُ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَائِلًا: هُوَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ «ٱلْغُصْنُ» ٱسْمُهُ. وَمِنْ مَكَانِهِ يَنْبُتُ وَيَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٢
13 Euen hee shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall beare the glory, and shall sit and rule vpon his throne, and he shalbe a Priest vpon his throne, and the counsell of peace shall be betweene them both.
فَهُوَ يَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَحْمِلُ ٱلْجَلَالَ وَيَجْلِسُ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَيَكُونُ كَاهِنًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَتَكُونُ مَشُورَةُ ٱلسَّلَامِ بَيْنَهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا.١٣
14 And the crownes shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Iedaiah, and to Hen the sonne of Zephaniah, for a memoriall in the Temple of the Lord.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلتِّيجَانُ لِحَالِمَ وَلِطُوبِيَّا وَلِيَدَعْيَا وَلِحَيْنِ بْنِ صَفَنْيَا تَذْكَارًا فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٤
15 And they that are farre off, shall come and build in the Temple of the Lord, and ye shall know, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you. And this shall come to passe, if ye will obey the voyce of the Lord your God.
وَٱلْبَعِيدُونَ يَأْتُونَ وَيَبْنُونَ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. وَيَكُونُ، إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ سَمَعًا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ».١٥
