< Zechariah 6 >

1 And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of brass.
ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَإذَا بِي أَرَى أَرْبَعَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ مُنْدَفِعَاتٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَبَلَيْنِ نُحَاسِيَّيْنِ،١
2 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown 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 strong grisled horses.
وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ جِيَادٌ بِيضٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الرَّابِعَةَ جِيَادٌ مُرَقَّطَةٌ.٣
4 And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these, my lord?'
فَسَأَلْتُ الْمَلاكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»٤
5 And the messenger answereth and saith unto me, 'These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
فَأَجَابَنِي: «هَذِهِ أَرْوَاحُ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعَةُ خَارِجَةٌ بَعْدَ مُثُولِهَا فِي حَضْرَةِ رَبِّ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.٥
6 The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth unto the land of the north; and the white have come forth unto their hinder part; and the grisled have come forth unto the land of the south;
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 strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth;' and he saith, 'Go, walk up and down in the earth;' and they walk up and down in 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 And he calleth me, and speaketh unto me, saying, 'See, those coming forth unto the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.'
ثُمَّ هَتَفَ بِي: «انْظُرْ! إِنَّ الَّتِي قَصَدَتْ أَرْضَ الشِّمَالِ قَدْ نَفَّذَتْ قَضَائِي، فَأَخْمَدَتْ سَوْرَةَ غَضَبِي هُنَاكَ».٨
9 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ:٩
10 to take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, 'and thou hast come in — thou, in that day, yea, thou hast come into the house of Josiah 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 and thou hast taken silver and gold, and hast made a crown, and hast placed on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,
خُذْ (مِنْهُمْ) فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً وَصُغْ مِنْهَا تِيجَاناً، كَلِّلْ بِأَحَدِهَا رَأْسَ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ.١١
12 and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot — [is] his name, And from his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah.
وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الْغُصْنُ، الَّذِي يَنْبُتُ مِنْ ذَاتِهِ وَيَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ.١٢
13 Yea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between 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 crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ التِّيجَانِ، فَتَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا وَيُوشِيَّا بنِ صَفَنْيَا، وَضَعْهَا تَذْكَاراً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.١٤
15 And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of Jehovah, and ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto you, yea, it hath come to pass, if ye do certainly hearken to the voice of Jehovah 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
