Zechariah 12

1 The oracle of the word of Yahweh, on Israel, —Declareth Yahweh—Stretching out the heavens, and founding the earth, and fashioning the spirit of man within him:

١ وَحْيُ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ بَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَابِلُ رُوحِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فِي دَاخِلِهِ:

2 Lo! I am making Jerusalem a bowl of reeling to all the peoples, round about, —Moreover also, on Judah, shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem;

٢ «هَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَأْسَ تَرَنُّحٍ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ حَوْلَهَا، وَأَيْضًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا تَكُونُ فِي حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 And it shall come to pass, in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a lifting-stone, to all the peoples, all who seek to lift her, shall, cut themselves in pieces, —though all the nations of the earth, gather themselves together against her.

٣ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَجْعَلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ حَجَرًا مِشْوَالًا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشِيلُونَهُ يَنْشَقُّونَ شَقًّا. وَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهَا كُلُّ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

4 In that day, Declareth Yahweh, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness, —and, over the house of Judah, will I keep opening mine eyes, and, every horse of the peoples, will I smite with blindness.

٤ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَضْرِبُ كُلَّ فَرَسٍ بِٱلْحَيْرَةِ وَرَاكِبَهُ بِٱلْجُنُونِ. وَأَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيَّ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَضْرِبُ كُلَّ خَيْلِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بِٱلْعَمَى.

5 Then will the chiefs of Judah say in their hearts, —A strength unto me, [would be] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in Yahweh of hosts, their God.

٥ فَتَقُولُ أُمَرَاءُ يَهُوذَا فِي قَلْبِهِمْ: إِنَّ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ قُوَّةٌ لِي بِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهِهِمْ.

6 In that day, will I make the chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf, so shall they devour, on the right hand and on the left, all the peoples round about; so shall Jerusalem yet, be inhabited, in her own place, as Jerusalem.

٦ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَجْعَلُ أُمَرَاءَ يَهُوذَا كَمِصْبَاحِ نَارٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَطَبِ، وَكَمِشْعَلِ نَارٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُزَمِ. فَيَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ حَوْلَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلْيَسَارِ، فَتَثْبُتُ أُورُشَلِيمُ أَيْضًا فِي مَكَانِهَا بِأُورُشَلِيمَ.

7 But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, —lest the honour of the house of David, and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, should be magnified over Judah.

٧ وَيُخَلِّصُ ٱلرَّبُّ خِيَامَ يَهُوذَا أَوَّلًا لِكَيْلَا يَتَعَاظَمَ ٱفْتِخَارُ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَٱفْتِخَارُ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى يَهُوذَا.

8 In that day, will Yahweh, throw a covering, around the inhabitant of Jerusalem, so shall the tottering among them, in that day, become like David, —and the house of David—like God, like the messenger of Yahweh, before them.

٨ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَسْتُرُ ٱلرَّبُّ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَكُونُ ٱلْعَاثِرُ مِنْهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِثْلَ دَاوُدَ، وَبَيْتُ دَاوُدَ مِثْلَ ٱللهِ، مِثْلَ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَمَامَهُمْ.

9 And it shall come to pass, in that day, —That I will seek to destroy all the nations, that come against Jerusalem.

٩ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَلْتَمِسُ هَلَاكَ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلْآتِينَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

10 But I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of favour, and of supplications, and they will look unto me, whom they have pierced, —and will wail over him, as one waileth over an only son, and will make bitter outcry over him, as one maketh bitter outcry over a firstborn.

١٠ «وَأُفِيضُ عَلَى بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ رُوحَ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ وَٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ، فَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ، ٱلَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ، وَيَنُوحُونَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَائِحٍ عَلَى وَحِيدٍ لَهُ، وَيَكُونُونَ فِي مَرَارَةٍ عَلَيْهِ كَمَنْ هُوَ فِي مَرَارَةٍ عَلَى بِكْرِهِ.

11 In that day, will the wailing, be great, in Jerusalem, as the wailing of Hadadrimmon, in the valley of Megiddon;

١١ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَعْظُمُ ٱلنَّوْحُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ كَنَوْحِ هَدَدْرِمُّونَ فِي بُقْعَةِ مَجِدُّونَ.

12 So shall the land, wail, family by family, apart, —the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart, the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

١٢ وَتَنُوحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ عَشَائِرَ عَشَائِرَ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا: عَشِيرَةُ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ. عَشِيرَةُ بَيْتِ نَاثَانَ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ.

13 The family of the house of Levi, apart, and their wives apart, the family of Shimei, apart, —and their wives apart:

١٣ عَشِيرَةُ بَيْتِ لَاوِي عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ. عَشِيرَةُ شَمْعِي عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ.

14 All the families that remain, family by family, apart, —and their wives, apart.

١٤ كُلُّ ٱلْعَشَائِرِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ عَشِيرَةٌ عَشِيرَةٌ عَلَى حِدَتِهَا، وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِنَّ.
