Zechariah 9

1 The burden of the word of the LORD. In the land of Hadrach, and in Damascus shall be His resting-place; for the LORD'S is the eye of man and all the tribes of Israel.

١ وَحْيُ قَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ بِعِقَابِ أَرْضِ حَدْرَاخَ وَدِمَشْقَ، لأَنَّ أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَسَائِرِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَ الرَّبِّ.

2 And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise.

٢ وَكَذَلِكَ قَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى حَمَاةَ الْمُتَاخِمَةِ لِدِمَشْقَ، وَعَلَى صُورَ وَصِيدُونَ الْمُتَّصِفَتَيْنِ بِالْحِكْمَةِ:

3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

٣ «قَدْ بَنَتْ صُورُ حِصْناً لِنَفْسِهَا وَادَّخَرَتِ الْفِضَّةَ كَالتُّرَابِ وَالذَّهَبَ كَطِينِ الشَّوَارِعِ.

4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, and He will smite her power into the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

٤ وَلَكِنْ هَا الرَّبُّ يُجَرِّدُهَا مِنْ مُمْتَلَكَاتِهَا، وَيَطْرَحُ عِزَّتَهَا إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَتَلْتَهِمُهَا النِّيرَانُ.

5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

٥ فَتَشْهَدُ مَدِينَةُ أَشْقَلُونَ هَذَا فَتَفْزَعُ، وَتَتَلَوَّى غَزَّةُ أَلَماً. تَتَوَجَّعُ عَقْرُونُ أَيْضاً لأَنَّ رَجَاءَهَا قَدْ تَبَدَّدَ. يَهْلِكُ مَلِكُ غَزَّةَ وَتُصْبِحُ أَشْقَلُونُ مُوْحِشَةً.

6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

٦ وَيَسْتَوْطِنُ الزَّنِيمُ فِي أَشْدُودَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُ الرَّبُّ كِبْرِيَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth, and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

٧ لَا يَعُودُونَ يَأْكُلُونَ لَحْماً بِدَمِهِ أَوْ طَعَاماً نَجِساً وَيُصْبِحُونَ هُمْ أَيْضاً بَقِيَّةً نَاجِيَةً لِلرَّبِّ، يَصِيرُونَ كَعَشِيرَةٍ فِي سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، وَتَغْدُو عَقْرُونُ نَظِيرَ الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

8 And I will encamp about My house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more; for now have I seen with Mine eyes.

٨ ثُمَّ أُعَسْكِرُ حَوْلَ شَعْبِي لأَحْفَظَهُ مِنْ غَزْوَاتِ الْجُيُوشِ فِي ذِهَابِهَا وَإِيَابِهَا، فَلا يُذِلُّهُمْ مُسْتَعْمِرٌ، لأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ الآنَ بِعَيْنَيَّ مُعَانَاتَهُمْ».

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

٩ «ابْتَهِجِي جِدّاً يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ وَاهْتُفِي يَا ابْنَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لأَنَّ هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ مُقْبِلٌ إِلَيْكِ. هُوَ عَادِلٌ ظَافِرٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ وَدِيعٌ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى أَتَانٍ، عَلَى جَحْشٍ ابْنِ أَتَانٍ.

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 unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

١٠ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ الْحَرْبِيَّةَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَالْخَيْلَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتَبِيدُ أَقْوَاسُ الْقِتَالِ، وَيَشِيعُ السَّلامُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَيَمْتَدُّ مُلْكُهُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَمِنْ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ.

11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

١١ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَبِفَضْلِ دَمِ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ أُطْلِقُ أَسْرَاكُمْ مِنَ الْجُبِّ الَّذِي لَا مَاءَ فِيهِ.

12 Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

١٢ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى الْحِصْنِ يَا أَسْرَى الرَّجَاءِ، فَأَنَا أُعْلِنُ الْيَوْمَ أَنِّي أُضَاعِفُ لَكُمُ الأَجْرَ لِقَاءَ مَا عَانَيْتُمْ مِنْ وَيْلاتٍ.

13 For I bend Judah for Me, I fill the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Javan, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

١٣ هَا أَنَا أُوَتِّرُ يَهُوذَا كَقَوْسٍ وَأَجْعَلُ أَفْرَايِمَ كَسَهْمٍ وَأُثِيرُ رِجَالَ صِهْيَوْنَ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ الْيُونَانِ فَتَكُونِينَ كَسَيْفِ جَبَّارٍ.

14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord GOD will blow the horn, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

١٤ ثُمَّ يَتَجَلَّى الرَّبُّ، وَيَنْفُذُ سَهْمُهُ كَالْبَرْقِ. يَنْفُخُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ بِالْبُوقِ وَيَقْتَحِمُ فِي زَوَابِعِ الْجَنُوبِ.

15 The LORD 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 the basins, like the corners of the altar.

١٥ يَقِيهُمُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ فَلا تَنَالُهُمْ حِجَارَةُ الْمِقْلاعِ، بَلْ تَقْصُرُ عَنْهُمْ وَيَطَأُونَهَا، وَيَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ دِمَاءِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَيَصْخَبُونَ كَالسُّكَارَى مِنَ الْخَمْرِ وَيَمْتَلِئُونَ كَمَنَاضِحِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَزَوَايَا الْمَذْبَحِ.

16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, glittering over His land.

١٦ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُخَلِّصُهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبُهُ قَطِيعُهُ، وَيَتَأَلَّقُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِ كَحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ مُرَصَّعَةٍ فِي تَاجٍ.

17 For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.

١٧ فَمَا أَجْمَلَهُمْ وَمَا أَبْهَاهُمْ! الْحِنْطَةُ تَجْعَلُ الْفِتْيَانَ أَكْثَرَ ازْدِهَاراً، وَالْخَمْرَةُ تَجْعَلُ الْفَتَيَاتِ أَكْثَرَ نُضْرَةً».
