Zechariah 1
1 In the eight moneth of the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo, the Prophet, saying,
| فِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّامِنِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَرَخِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو قَائِلاً: | ١ |
2 The Lord hath bene sore displeased with your fathers.
| «لَقَدْ غَضِبَ الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ الْغَضَبِ عَلَى آبَائِكُمْ. | ٢ |
3 Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne ye vnto me, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will turne vnto you, saith the Lord of hostes.
| وَلَكِنْ قُلْ لَهُمْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٣ |
4 Be ye not as your fathers, vnto whome the former prophets haue cried, saying, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne you nowe from your euill wayes, and from your wicked workes: but they would not heare, nor hearken vnto me, saith the Lord.
| وَلا تَكُونُوا كَآبَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ نَادَاهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ السَّالِفُونَ قَائِلِينَ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، ارْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ الْبَاطِلَةِ وَأَعْمَالِكُمُ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٤ |
5 your fathers, where are they? and doe the Prophets liue for euer?
| أَيْنَ هُمْ آبَاؤُكُمْ؟ وَهَلْ يَحْيَا الأَنْبِيَاءُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ٥ |
6 But did not my wordes and my statutes, which I commanded by my seruants ye Prophets, take holde of your fathers? and they returned, and sayd, As the Lord of hostes hath determined to doe vnto vs, according to our owne wayes, and according to our workes, so hath hee dealt with vs.
| وَلَكِنْ أَلَمْ تُدْرِكْ أَقْوَالِي وَفَرَائِضِي الَّتِي أَمَرْتُ بِها عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءَ آبَاءَكُمْ فَتَابُوا قَائِلِينَ: لَقَدْ نَفَّذَ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ مَا عَزَمَ أَنْ يُعَاقِبَنَا بِمُقْتَضَى مَا ارْتَكَبْنَاهُ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ بَاطِلَةٍ؟» | ٦ |
7 Vpon the foure and twentieth day of the eleuenth moneth, which is the moneth Shebat, in the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo the Prophet, saying,
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْحَادِي عَشَرَ، أَيْ شَهْرِ شَبَاطَ الْعِبْرِيِّ، مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ بَرَخِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو قَائِلاً: | ٧ |
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding vpon a red horse, and hee stood among the mirre trees, that were in a bottome, and behinde him were there red horses speckeled and white.
| شَاهَدْتُ فِي رُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ وَإذَا بِرَجُلٍ يَمْتَطِي فَرَساً أَحْمَرَ اللَّوْنِ يَقِفُ بَيْنَ أَشْجَارِ الآسِ الْمُتَوَارِيَةِ فِي الْوَادِي، وَخَلْفَهُ رِجَالٌ رَاكِبُونَ عَلَى خَيْلٍ حُمْرٍ وَشُقْرٍ وَبِيضٍ. | ٨ |
9 Then sayd I, O my Lord, what are these? And the Angel that talked with me, sayde vnto me, I wil shew thee what these be.
| فَسَأَلْتُ: «مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟» فَأَجَابَنِي الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «أَنَا أُخْبِرُكَ مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ». | ٩ |
10 And the man that stood among the mirre trees, answered, and sayd, These are they whome the Lord hath sent to go through the world.
| قَالَ الْفَارِسُ الْوَاقِفُ بَيْنَ الآسِ: «هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَوْفَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَجُولُوا فِي الأَرْضِ». | ١٠ |
11 And they answered the Angel of the Lord, that stood among the mirre trees, and sayd, We haue gone thorowe the world: and beholde, all the world sitteth still, and is at rest.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ رَاكِبُو الْجِيَادِ لِلْمَلاكِ الْوَاقِفِ بَيْنَ الآسِ: «قَدْ جُلْنَا فِي الأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا بِها كُلِّهَا آمِنَةٌ مُطْمَئِنَّةٌ». | ١١ |
12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and sayd, O Lord of hostes, howe long wilt thou be vnmercifull to Ierusalem, and to the cities of Iudah, with whom thou hast bene displeased now these threescore and ten yeeres?
| فَقَالَ الْمَلاكُ: «إِلَى مَتَى أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ لَا تُشْفِقُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا الَّتِي سُخْطْتَ عَلَيْهَا طَوَالَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً؟» | ١٢ |
13 And the Lord answered the Angel that talked with me, with good wordes and comfortable wordes.
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ الْمَلاكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي، بِعِبَارَاتٍ طَيِّبَةٍ مُعَزِّيَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 So the Angel that communed with me, said vnto me, Crie thou, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I am ielous ouer Ierusalem and Zion with a great zeale,
| ثُمَّ خَاطَبَنِي الْمَلاكُ قَائِلاً: «نَادِ، هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: إِنِّي قَدْ غِرْتُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ غَيْرَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ١٤ |
15 And am greatly angrie against the carelesse heathen: for I was angrie but a litle, and they helped forward the affliction.
| وَلَكِنَّ غَضَبِي مُتَأَجِّجٌ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الْمُتَنَعِّمَةِ. لَقَدِ اغْتَظْتُ قَلِيلاً مِنْ شَعْبِي إِلّا أَنَّهُمْ زَادُوا مِنْ فَوَاجِعِهِمْ. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Ierusalem with tender mercie: mine house shall be builded in it, saith the Lord of hostes, and a line shall be stretched vpon Ierusalem.
| لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِفَيْضٍ مِنَ الْمَرَاحِمِ، فَيُبْنَى هَيْكَلِي فِيهَا وَتَعْمُرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١٦ |
17 Cry yet, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, My cities shall yet be broken with plentie: the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet chuse Ierusalem.
| وَاهْتِفْ أَيْضاً قَائِلاً: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: سَتَفِيضُ مُدُنِي خَيْراً ثَانِيَةً، وَيَرْجِعُ الرَّبُّ فَيُعَزِّي صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَصْطَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٧ |
18 Then lift I vp mine eyes and sawe, and beholde, foure hornes.
| ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ نَظَرِي وَإذَا بِي أَرَى أَرْبَعَةَ قُرُونٍ. | ١٨ |
19 And I said vnto the Angel that talked with me, What be these? And hee answered me, These are the hornes which haue scattered Iudah, Israel, and Ierusalem.
| فَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلاكِ: «مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْقُرُونُ الَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ أَهْلَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١٩ |
20 And the Lord shewed me foure carpenters.
| وَأَرَانِي الرَّبُّ أَرْبَعَةَ صُنَّاعٍ، | ٢٠ |
21 Then said I, What come these to doe? And he answered, and said, These are the hornes, which haue scattered Iudah, so that a man durst not lift vp his head: but these are come to fray them, and to cast out the hornes of the Gentiles, which lift vp their horne ouer the land of Iudah, to scatter it.
| فَسَأَلْتُ: «مَا الَّذِي جَاءَ يَفْعَلُهُ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْقُرُونُ (أَيِ الأُمَمُ) الَّتِي بَدَّدَتْ أَهْلَ يَهُوذَا حَتَّى ذَلَّتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ. أَمَّا هَؤُلاءِ الصُّنَّاعُ فَقَدْ أَقْبَلُوا لِيُوْقِعُوا الرُّعْبَ فِي نُفُوسِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي هَاجَمَتْ أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا لِيَطْرُدُوا أَهْلَهَا». | ٢١ |
