Zechariah 9
1 The burden of a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel).
| وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ حَدْرَاخَ وَدِمَشْقَ مَحَلُّهُ. لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ عَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَكُلَّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
| وَحَمَاةُ أَيْضًا تُتَاخِمُهَا، وَصُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ حَكِيمَةً جِدًّا. | ٢ |
3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
| وَقَدْ بَنَتْ صُورُ حِصْنًا لِنَفْسِهَا، وَكَوَّمَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ كَٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلذَّهَبَ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ. | ٣ |
4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
| هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ يَمْتَلِكُهَا وَيَضْرِبُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ قُوَّتَهَا، وَهِيَ تُؤْكَلُ بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٤ |
5 Ashkelon sees and fears, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And a king has perished from Gaza, And Ashkelon does not remain,
| تَرَى أَشْقَلُونُ فَتَخَافُ، وَغَزَّةُ فَتَتَوَجَّعُ جِدًّا، وَعَقْرُونُ. لِأَنَّهُ يُخْزِيهَا ٱنْتِظَارُهَا، وَٱلْمَلِكُ يَبِيدُ مِنْ غَزَّةَ، وَأَشْقَلُونُ لَا تُسْكَنُ. | ٥ |
6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
| وَيَسْكُنُ فِي أَشْدُودَ زَنِيمٌ، وَأَقْطَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٦ |
7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he has remained, even he, to our God, And he has been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
| وَأَنْزِعُ دِمَاءَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَرِجْسَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْنَانِهِ، فَيَبْقَى هُوَ أَيْضًا لِإِلَهِنَا، وَيَكُونُ كَأَمِيرٍ فِي يَهُوذَا، وَعَقْرُونُ كَيَبُوسِيٍّ. | ٧ |
8 And I have pitched a camp for My house, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And an exactor does not pass through against them again, For now, I have seen with My eyes.
| وَأَحُلُّ حَوْلَ بَيْتِي بِسَبَبِ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلذَّاهِبِ وَٱلْآئِبِ، فَلَا يَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدُ جَابِي ٱلْجِزْيَةِ. فَإِنِّي ٱلْآنَ رَأَيْتُ بِعَيْنَيَّ. | ٨ |
9 Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Behold, your King comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Afflicted—and riding on a donkey, And on a colt—a son of female donkeys.
| اِبْتَهِجِي جِدًّا يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱهْتِفِي يَا بِنْتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكِ. هُوَ عَادِلٌ وَمَنْصُورٌ وَدِيعٌ، وَرَاكِبٌ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَانٍ. | ٩ |
10 And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Indeed, the bow of battle has been cut off, And He has spoken peace to nations, And His rule [is] from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
| وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَتُقْطَعُ قَوْسُ ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ لِلْأُمَمِ، وَسُلْطَانُهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٠ |
11 Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
| وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا فَإِنِّي بِدَمِ عَهْدِكِ قَدْ أَطْلَقْتُ أَسْرَاكِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ. | ١١ |
12 Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
| ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ يَا أَسْرَى ٱلرَّجَاءِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا أُصَرِّحُ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكِ ضِعْفَيْنِ. | ١٢ |
13 For I have trodden for Myself with Judah, I have filled a bow [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Javan, And I have set you as the sword of a hero.”
| لِأَنِّي أَوْتَرْتُ يَهُوذَا لِنَفْسِي، وَمَلَأْتُ ٱلْقَوْسَ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَنْهَضْتُ أَبْنَاءَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى بَنِيكِ يَا يَاوَانُ، وَجَعَلْتُكِ كَسَيْفِ جَبَّارٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And YHWH appears for them, And His arrow has gone forth as lightning, And Lord YHWH blows with a horn, And He has gone with whirlwinds of the south.
| وَيُرَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَوْقَهُمْ، وَسَهْمُهُ يَخْرُجُ كَٱلْبَرْقِ، وَٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَنْفُخُ فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَيَسِيرُ فِي زَوَابِعِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. | ١٤ |
15 YHWH of Hosts covers them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Indeed, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.
| رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يُحَامِي عَنْهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَدُوسُونَ حِجَارَةَ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَضُجُّونَ كَمَا مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَيَمْتَلِئُونَ كَٱلْمَنْضَحِ وَكَزَوَايَا ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ١٥ |
16 And their God YHWH has saved them in that day, As a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.
| وَيُخَلِّصُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. كَقَطِيعٍ شَعْبَهُ، بَلْ كَحِجَارَةِ ٱلتَّاجِ مَرْفُوعَةً عَلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ١٦ |
17 For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
| مَا أَجْوَدَهُ وَمَا أَجْمَلَهُ! اَلْحِنْطَةُ تُنْمِي ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، وَٱلْمِسْطَارُ ٱلْعَذَارَى. | ١٧ |
