< Zechariah 6 >

1 And I again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there came out four chariots from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of copper.
فَعُدْتُ وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِأَرْبَعِ مَرْكَبَاتٍ خَارِجَاتٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَبَلَيْنِ، وَٱلْجَبَلَانِ جَبَلَا نُحَاسٍ.١
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot, black horses:
فِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلْأُولَى خَيْلٌ حُمْرٌ، وَفِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ خَيْلٌ دُهْمٌ،٢
3 And in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, grizzled, ash-colored horses.
وَفِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ خَيْلٌ شُهْبٌ، وَفِي ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ خَيْلٌ مُنَمَّرَةٌ شُقْرٌ.٣
4 And I began and said unto the angel that spoke with me, What are these, my lord?
فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي 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 after having stood before the Lord of all the earth.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ وَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ أَرْوَاحُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلْأَرْبَعُ خَارِجَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْوُقُوفِ لَدَى سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.٥
6 The [chariot] on which are black horses—these go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grizzled go forth toward the south country.
ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا ٱلْخَيْلُ ٱلدُّهْمُ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَٱلشُّهْبُ خَارِجَةٌ وَرَاءَهَا، وَٱلْمُنَمَّرَةُ تَخْرُجُ نَحْوَ أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ».٦
7 And the red-colored were gone forth, and sought to traverse the earth: and he said, Go, traverse the earth. So they traversed the earth.
أَمَّا ٱلشُّقْرُ فَخَرَجَتْ وَٱلْتَمَسَتْ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ لِتَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبِي وَتَمَشَّيْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». فَتَمَشَّتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.٧
8 Then cried he loudly unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that are going toward the north country, have quieted [the indignation of] my spirit in the north country.
فَصَرَخَ عَلَيَّ وَكَلَّمنِي قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا ٱلْخَارِجُونَ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَدْ سَكَّنُوا رُوحِي فِي أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ».٨
9 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:٩
10 Take from the exiles, from Cheldai, from Tobiyahu, and from Yeda'yah, and thou shalt come on the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephanyah, whither they have arrived from Babylon;
«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 also silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak the high priest;
ثُمَّ خُذْ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَٱعْمَلْ تِيجَانًا وَضَعْهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادَقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.١١
12 And thou shalt say unto him as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold a man, Sprout is his name; since out of his own place shall he sprout up, even 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 Yea, he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and a priest shall be upon his own throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between both of them.
فَهُوَ يَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَحْمِلُ ٱلْجَلَالَ وَيَجْلِسُ وَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَيَكُونُ كَاهِنًا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَتَكُونُ مَشُورَةُ ٱلسَّلَامِ بَيْنَهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا.١٣
14 And the crowns shall be for Chelem, and for Tobiyah, and for Yeda'yah, and for Chen the son of Zephanyah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلتِّيجَانُ لِحَالِمَ وَلِطُوبِيَّا وَلِيَدَعْيَا وَلِحَيْنِ بْنِ صَفَنْيَا تَذْكَارًا فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٤
15 And distant ones shall come and build on 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 hearken to the voice 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
