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).
| מַשָּׂ֤א דְבַר־יְהוָה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַדְרָ֔ךְ וְדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק מְנֻחָתֹ֑ו כִּ֤י לַֽיהוָה֙ עֵ֣ין אָדָ֔ם וְכֹ֖ל שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
2 And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
| וְגַם־חֲמָ֖ת תִּגְבָּל־בָּ֑הּ צֹ֣ר וְצִידֹ֔ון כִּ֥י חָֽכְמָ֖ה מְאֹֽד׃ |
3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
| וַתִּ֥בֶן צֹ֛ר מָצֹ֖ור לָ֑הּ וַתִּצְבָּר־כֶּ֙סֶף֙ כֶּֽעָפָ֔ר וְחָר֖וּץ כְּטִ֥יט חוּצֹֽות׃ |
4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
| הִנֵּ֤ה אֲדֹנָי֙ יֹֽורִשֶׁ֔נָּה וְהִכָּ֥ה בַיָּ֖ם חֵילָ֑הּ וְהִ֖יא בָּאֵ֥שׁ תֵּאָכֵֽל׃ |
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,
| תֵּרֶ֨א אַשְׁקְלֹ֜ון וְתִירָ֗א וְעַזָּה֙ וְתָחִ֣יל מְאֹ֔ד וְעֶקְרֹ֖ון כִּֽי־הֹבִ֣ישׁ מֶבָּטָ֑הּ וְאָ֤בַד מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ מֵֽעַזָּ֔ה וְאַשְׁקְלֹ֖ון לֹ֥א תֵשֵֽׁב׃ |
6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
| וְיָשַׁ֥ב מַמְזֵ֖ר בְּאַשְׁדֹּ֑וד וְהִכְרַתִּ֖י גְּאֹ֥ון פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ |
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.
| וַהֲסִרֹתִ֨י דָמָ֜יו מִפִּ֗יו וְשִׁקֻּצָיו֙ מִבֵּ֣ין שִׁנָּ֔יו וְנִשְׁאַ֥ר גַּם־ה֖וּא לֵֽאלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְהָיָה֙ כְּאַלֻּ֣ף בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה וְעֶקְרֹ֖ון כִּיבוּסִֽי׃ |
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.
| וְחָנִ֨יתִי לְבֵיתִ֤י מִצָּבָה֙ מֵעֹבֵ֣ר וּמִשָּׁ֔ב וְלֹֽא־יַעֲבֹ֧ר עֲלֵיהֶ֛ם עֹ֖וד נֹגֵ֑שׂ כִּ֥י עַתָּ֖ה רָאִ֥יתִי בְעֵינָֽי׃ ס |
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.
| גִּילִ֨י מְאֹ֜ד בַּת־צִיֹּ֗ון הָרִ֙יעִי֙ בַּ֣ת יְרוּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם הִנֵּ֤ה מַלְכֵּךְ֙ יָ֣בֹוא לָ֔ךְ צַדִּ֥יק וְנֹושָׁ֖ע ה֑וּא עָנִי֙ וְרֹכֵ֣ב עַל־חֲמֹ֔ור וְעַל־עַ֖יִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנֹֽות׃ |
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.
| וְהִכְרַתִּי־רֶ֣כֶב מֵאֶפְרַ֗יִם וְסוּס֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם וְנִכְרְתָה֙ קֶ֣שֶׁת מִלְחָמָ֔ה וְדִבֶּ֥ר שָׁלֹ֖ום לַגֹּויִ֑ם וּמָשְׁלֹו֙ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֔ם וּמִנָּהָ֖ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
11 Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
| גַּם־אַ֣תְּ בְּדַם־בְּרִיתֵ֗ךְ שִׁלַּ֤חְתִּי אֲסִירַ֙יִךְ֙ מִבֹּ֔ור אֵ֥ין מַ֖יִם בֹּֽו׃ |
12 Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
| שׁ֚וּבוּ לְבִצָּרֹ֔ון אֲסִירֵ֖י הַתִּקְוָ֑ה גַּם־הַיֹּ֕ום מַגִּ֥יד מִשְׁנֶ֖ה אָשִׁ֥יב לָֽךְ׃ |
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.”
| כִּֽי־דָרַ֨כְתִּי לִ֜י יְהוּדָ֗ה קֶ֚שֶׁת מִלֵּ֣אתִי אֶפְרַ֔יִם וְעֹורַרְתִּ֤י בָנַ֙יִךְ֙ צִיֹּ֔ון עַל־בָּנַ֖יִךְ יָוָ֑ן וְשַׂמְתִּ֖יךְ כְּחֶ֥רֶב גִּבֹּֽור׃ |
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.
| וַֽיהוָה֙ עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם יֵֽרָאֶ֔ה וְיָצָ֥א כַבָּרָ֖ק חִצֹּ֑ו וַֽאדֹנָ֤י יְהֹוִה֙ בַּשֹּׁופָ֣ר יִתְקָ֔ע וְהָלַ֖ךְ בְּסַעֲרֹ֥ות תֵּימָֽן׃ |
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.
| יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֮ יָגֵ֣ן עֲלֵיהֶם֒ וְאָכְל֗וּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ אַבְנֵי־קֶ֔לַע וְשָׁת֥וּ הָמ֖וּ כְּמֹו־יָ֑יִן וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק כְּזָוִיֹּ֖ות מִזְבֵּֽחַ׃ |
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.
| וְֽהֹושִׁיעָ֞ם יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֛ם בַּיֹּ֥ום הַה֖וּא כְּצֹ֣אן עַמֹּ֑ו כִּ֚י אַבְנֵי־נֵ֔זֶר מִֽתְנֹוסְסֹ֖ות עַל־אַדְמָתֹֽו׃ |
17 For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
| כִּ֥י מַה־טּוּבֹ֖ו וּמַה־יָפְיֹ֑ו דָּגָן֙ בַּֽחוּרִ֔ים וְתִירֹ֖ושׁ יְנֹובֵ֥ב בְּתֻלֹֽות׃ |
