< זכריה 9 >
מַשָּׂא דְבַר־יְהֹוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַדְרָךְ וְדַמֶּשֶׂק מְנֻחָתוֹ כִּי לַֽיהֹוָה עֵין אָדָם וְכֹל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 1 |
The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah);
וְגַם־חֲמָת תִּגְבׇּל־בָּהּ צֹר וְצִידוֹן כִּי חָֽכְמָה מְאֹֽד׃ | 2 |
and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
וַתִּבֶן צֹר מָצוֹר לָהּ וַתִּצְבׇּר־כֶּסֶף כֶּֽעָפָר וְחָרוּץ כְּטִיט חוּצֽוֹת׃ | 3 |
And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
הִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי יֽוֹרִשֶׁנָּה וְהִכָּה בַיָּם חֵילָהּ וְהִיא בָּאֵשׁ תֵּאָכֵֽל׃ | 4 |
Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
תֵּרֶא אַשְׁקְלוֹן וְתִירָא וְעַזָּה וְתָחִיל מְאֹד וְעֶקְרוֹן כִּֽי־הֹבִישׁ מֶבָּטָהּ וְאָבַד מֶלֶךְ מֵֽעַזָּה וְאַשְׁקְלוֹן לֹא תֵשֵֽׁב׃ | 5 |
Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
וְיָשַׁב מַמְזֵר בְּאַשְׁדּוֹד וְהִכְרַתִּי גְּאוֹן פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ | 6 |
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
וַהֲסִרֹתִי דָמָיו מִפִּיו וְשִׁקֻּצָיו מִבֵּין שִׁנָּיו וְנִשְׁאַר גַּם־הוּא לֵֽאלֹהֵינוּ וְהָיָה כְּאַלֻּף בִּֽיהוּדָה וְעֶקְרוֹן כִּיבוּסִֽי׃ | 7 |
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
וְחָנִיתִי לְבֵיתִי מִצָּבָה מֵעֹבֵר וּמִשָּׁב וְלֹֽא־יַעֲבֹר עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹד נֹגֵשׂ כִּי עַתָּה רָאִיתִי בְעֵינָֽי׃ | 8 |
And I will encamp about my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
גִּילִי מְאֹד בַּת־צִיּוֹן הָרִיעִי בַּת יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם הִנֵּה מַלְכֵּךְ יָבוֹא לָךְ צַדִּיק וְנוֹשָׁע הוּא עָנִי וְרֹכֵב עַל־חֲמוֹר וְעַל־עַיִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנֽוֹת׃ | 9 |
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
וְהִכְרַתִּי־רֶכֶב מֵאֶפְרַיִם וְסוּס מִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְנִכְרְתָה קֶשֶׁת מִלְחָמָה וְדִבֶּר שָׁלוֹם לַגּוֹיִם וּמׇשְׁלוֹ מִיָּם עַד־יָם וּמִנָּהָר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 10 |
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
גַּם־אַתְּ בְּדַם־בְּרִיתֵךְ שִׁלַּחְתִּי אֲסִירַיִךְ מִבּוֹר אֵין מַיִם בּֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water.
שׁוּבוּ לְבִצָּרוֹן אֲסִירֵי הַתִּקְוָה גַּם־הַיּוֹם מַגִּיד מִשְׁנֶה אָשִׁיב לָֽךְ׃ | 12 |
Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
כִּֽי־דָרַכְתִּי לִי יְהוּדָה קֶשֶׁת מִלֵּאתִי אֶפְרַיִם וְעוֹרַרְתִּי בָנַיִךְ צִיּוֹן עַל־בָּנַיִךְ יָוָן וְשַׂמְתִּיךְ כְּחֶרֶב גִּבּֽוֹר׃ | 13 |
For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
וַֽיהֹוָה עֲלֵיהֶם יֵֽרָאֶה וְיָצָא כַבָּרָק חִצּוֹ וַֽאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה בַּשּׁוֹפָר יִתְקָע וְהָלַךְ בְּסַעֲרוֹת תֵּימָֽן׃ | 14 |
And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת יָגֵן עֲלֵיהֶם וְאָכְלוּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ אַבְנֵי־קֶלַע וְשָׁתוּ הָמוּ כְּמוֹ־יָיִן וּמָֽלְאוּ כַּמִּזְרָק כְּזָוִיּוֹת מִזְבֵּֽחַ׃ | 15 |
Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
וְֽהוֹשִׁיעָם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כְּצֹאן עַמּוֹ כִּי אַבְנֵי־נֵזֶר מִֽתְנוֹסְסוֹת עַל־אַדְמָתֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
כִּי מַה־טּוּבוֹ וּמַה־יׇּפְיוֹ דָּגָן בַּחוּרִים וְתִירוֹשׁ יְנוֹבֵב בְּתֻלֽוֹת׃ | 17 |
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
