ZECHARIAH 9

زكريا 9

1  The burden* of the word of the Lord Against the land of Hadrach, And Damascus its resting place (For the eyes of men And all the tribes of Israel Are on the Lord);

1  وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ حَدْرَاخَ وَدِمَشْقَ مَحَلُّهُ. (لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ عَيْنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَكُلَّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ).

2  Also against Hamath, which borders on it, And against Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

2  وَحَمَاةُ أَيْضاً تُتَاخِمُهَا وَصُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ حَكِيمَةً جِدّاً.

3  For Tyre built herself a tower, Heaped up silver like the dust, And gold like the mire of the streets.

3  وَقَدْ بَنَتْ صُورُ حِصْناً لِنَفْسِهَا وَكَوَّمَتِ الْفِضَّةَ كَالتُّرَابِ وَالذَّهَبَ كَطِينِ الأَسْوَاقِ.

4  Behold, the Lord will cast her out; He will destroy her power in the sea, And she will be devoured by fire.

4  هُوَذَا السَّيِّدُ يَمْتَلِكُهَا وَيَضْرِبُ فِي الْبَحْرِ قُوَّتَهَا وَهِيَ تُؤْكَلُ بِالنَّارِ.

5  Ashkelon shall see it and fear; Gaza also shall be very sorrowful; And Ekron, for He dried up her expectation. The king shall perish from Gaza, And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

5  تَرَى أَشْقَلُونُ فَتَخَافُ وَغَزَّةُ فَتَتَوَجَّعُ جِدّاً وَعَقْرُونُ. لأَنَّهُ يُخْزِيهَا انْتِظَارُهَا وَالْمَلِكُ يَبِيدُ مِنْ غَزَّةَ وَأَشْقَلُونُ لاَ تُسْكَنُ.

6  "A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod, And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

6  وَيَسْكُنُ فِي أَشْدُودَ زَنِيمٌ وَأَقْطَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

7  I will take away the blood from his mouth, And the abominations from between his teeth. But he who remains, even he shall be for our God, And shall be like a leader in Judah, And Ekron like a Jebusite.

7  وَأَنْزِعُ دِمَاءَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ وَرِجْسَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْنَانِهِ فَيَبْقَى هُوَ أَيْضاً لإِلَهِنَا وَيَكُونُ كَأَمِيرٍ فِي يَهُوذَا وَعَقْرُونُ كَيَبُوسِيٍّ.

8  I will camp around My house Because of the army, Because of him who passes by and him who returns. No more shall an oppressor pass through them, For now I have seen with My eyes.

8  وَأَحُلُّ حَوْلَ بَيْتِي بِسَبَبِ الْجَيْشِ الذَّاهِبِ وَالآئِبِ فَلاَ يَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدُ جَابِي الْجِزْيَةِ. فَإِنِّي الآنَ رَأَيْتُ بِعَيْنَيَّ.

9  "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.

9  [اِبْتَهِجِي جِدّاً يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ اهْتِفِي يَا بِنْتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكِ. هُوَ عَادِلٌ وَمَنْصُورٌ وَدِيعٌ وَرَاكِبٌ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَى جَحْشٍ ابْنِ أَتَانٍ.

10  I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim And the horse from Jerusalem; The battle bow shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be 'from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.'*

10  وَأَقْطَعُ الْمَرْكَبَةَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَالْفَرَسَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَتُقْطَعُ قَوْسُ الْحَرْبِ. وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالسَّلاَمِ لِلأُمَمِ وَسُلْطَانُهُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ وَمِنَ النَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ.

11  "As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

11  وَأَنْتِ أَيْضاً فَإِنِّي بِدَمِ عَهْدِكِ قَدْ أَطْلَقْتُ أَسْرَاكِ مِنَ الْجُبِّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ.

12  Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.

12  ارْجِعُوا إِلَى الْحِصْنِ يَا أَسْرَى الرَّجَاءِ. الْيَوْمَ أَيْضاً أُصَرِّحُ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكِ ضِعْفَيْنِ.

13  For I have bent Judah, My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, And raised up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Greece, And made you like the sword of a mighty man."

13  [لأَنِّي أَوْتَرْتُ يَهُوذَا لِنَفْسِي وَمَلَأْتُ الْقَوْسَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَنْهَضْتُ أَبْنَاءَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى بَنِيكِ يَا يَاوَانُ وَجَعَلْتُكِ كَسَيْفِ جَبَّارٍ].

14  Then the Lord will be seen over them, And His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord God will blow the trumpet, And go with whirlwinds from the south.

14  وَيُرَى الرَّبُّ فَوْقَهُمْ وَسَهْمُهُ يَخْرُجُ كَالْبَرْقِ وَالسَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ يَنْفُخُ فِي الْبُوقِ وَيَسِيرُ فِي زَوَابِعِ الْجَنُوبِ.

15  The Lord of hosts will defend them; They shall devour and subdue with slingstones. They shall drink and roar as if with wine; They shall be filled with blood like basins, Like the corners of the altar.

15  رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ يُحَامِي عَنْهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَدُوسُونَ حِجَارَةَ الْمِقْلاَعِ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَضِجُّونَ كَمَا مِنَ الْخَمْرِ وَيَمْتَلِئُونَ كَالْمَنْضَحِ وَكَزَوَايَا الْمَذْبَحِ.

16  The Lord their God will save them in that day, As the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, Lifted like a banner over His land--

16  وَيُخَلِّصُهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ. كَقَطِيعٍ شَعْبَهُ بَلْ كَحِجَارَةِ التَّاجِ مَرْفُوعَةً عَلَى أَرْضِهِ.

17  For how great is its* goodness And how great its+ beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive, And new wine the young women.

17  مَا أَجْوَدَهُ وَمَا أَجْمَلَهُ! الْحِنْطَةُ تُنْمِي الْفِتْيَانَ وَالْمِسْطَارُ الْعَذَارَى.
