< Zechariah 6 >

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of brass.
ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَإذَا بِي أَرَى أَرْبَعَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ مُنْدَفِعَاتٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَبَلَيْنِ نُحَاسِيَّيْنِ،١
2 In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
وَكَانَتْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْكَبَةَ الأُولَى جِيَادٌ حُمْرٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ جِيَادٌ سُودٌ،٢
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ جِيَادٌ بِيضٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الرَّابِعَةَ جِيَادٌ مُرَقَّطَةٌ.٣
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these, my lord?
فَسَأَلْتُ الْمَلاكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»٤
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These [are] the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
فَأَجَابَنِي: «هَذِهِ أَرْوَاحُ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعَةُ خَارِجَةٌ بَعْدَ مُثُولِهَا فِي حَضْرَةِ رَبِّ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.٥
6 The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
فَالْمَرْكَبَةُ الَّتِي تَجُرُّهَا الْجِيَادُ السُّودُ تَتَوَجَّهُ نَحْوَ بِلادِ الشِّمَالِ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةُ الَّتِي تَجُرُّهَا الْجِيَادُ الْبَيْضَاءُ تَتْبَعُهَا إِلَى هُنَاكَ، أَمَّا الْمَرْكَبَةُ ذَاتُ الْجِيَادِ الْمُرَقَّطَةِ فَمُتَّجِهَةٌ نَحْوَ أَرْضِ الْجَنُوبِ.٦
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
أَمَّا الْجِيَادُ الْقَوِيَّةُ الْحَمْرَاءُ فَهِيَ مُتَلَهِّفَةٌ لِلتَّجْوَالِ فِي الأَرْضِ. وَمَا إِنْ قَالَ لَهَا الرَّبُّ: انْطَلِقِي وَتَجَوَّلِي فِي الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى انْدَفَعَتْ تَطُوفُ فِي أَرْجَائِهَا».٧
8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
ثُمَّ هَتَفَ بِي: «انْظُرْ! إِنَّ الَّتِي قَصَدَتْ أَرْضَ الشِّمَالِ قَدْ نَفَّذَتْ قَضَائِي، فَأَخْمَدَتْ سَوْرَةَ غَضَبِي هُنَاكَ».٨
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ:٩
10 Take of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
«خُذْ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّبْيِ، كُلًّا مِنْ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا، الَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ بَابِلَ، وَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَادْخُلْ بَيْتَ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ صَفَنْيَا.١٠
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
خُذْ (مِنْهُمْ) فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً وَصُغْ مِنْهَا تِيجَاناً، كَلِّلْ بِأَحَدِهَا رَأْسَ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ.١١
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الْغُصْنُ، الَّذِي يَنْبُتُ مِنْ ذَاتِهِ وَيَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ.١٢
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ وَيَتَجَلَّلُ بِالْمَجْدِ وَيَكُونُ نَفْسُهُ مَلِكاً وَكَاهِناً فِي آنٍ وَاحِدٍ فَيَجْلِسُ وَيَحْكُمُ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِفَضْلِ مَشُورَةِ رُتْبَتَيْهِ عَلَى إِشَاعَةِ السَّلامِ بَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ.١٣
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ التِّيجَانِ، فَتَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا وَيُوشِيَّا بنِ صَفَنْيَا، وَضَعْهَا تَذْكَاراً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.١٤
15 And they [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
وَيَتَوَافَدُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِيَبْنُوا هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. وَيَتِمُّ هَذَا كُلُّهُ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ طَاعَةً كَامِلَةً».١٥
