Zechariah 6

1 And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.

1 ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَإذَا بِي أَرَى أَرْبَعَ مَرْكَبَاتٍ مُنْدَفِعَاتٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَبَلَيْنِ نُحَاسِيَّيْنِ،

2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,

2 وَكَانَتْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْكَبَةَ الأُولَى جِيَادٌ حُمْرٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ جِيَادٌ سُودٌ،

3 the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.

3 وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ جِيَادٌ بِيضٌ، وَالْمَرْكَبَةَ الرَّابِعَةَ جِيَادٌ مُرَقَّطَةٌ.

4 So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”

4 فَسَأَلْتُ الْمَلاكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»

5 And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.

5 فَأَجَابَنِي: «هَذِهِ أَرْوَاحُ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعَةُ خَارِجَةٌ بَعْدَ مُثُولِهَا فِي حَضْرَةِ رَبِّ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

6 The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”

6 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.

7 As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

7 أَمَّا الْجِيَادُ الْقَوِيَّةُ الْحَمْرَاءُ فَهِيَ مُتَلَهِّفَةٌ لِلتَّجْوَالِ فِي الأَرْضِ. وَمَا إِنْ قَالَ لَهَا الرَّبُّ: انْطَلِقِي وَتَجَوَّلِي فِي الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى انْدَفَعَتْ تَطُوفُ فِي أَرْجَائِهَا».

8 Then the LORD summoned me and said, “Behold, those going to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”

8 ثُمَّ هَتَفَ بِي: «انْظُرْ! إِنَّ الَّتِي قَصَدَتْ أَرْضَ الشِّمَالِ قَدْ نَفَّذَتْ قَضَائِي، فَأَخْمَدَتْ سَوْرَةَ غَضَبِي هُنَاكَ».

9 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,

9 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ هَذِهِ:

10 “Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon—and go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.

10 «خُذْ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّبْيِ، كُلًّا مِنْ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا، الَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ بَابِلَ، وَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَادْخُلْ بَيْتَ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ صَفَنْيَا.

11 Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.

11 خُذْ (مِنْهُمْ) فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً وَصُغْ مِنْهَا تِيجَاناً، كَلِّلْ بِأَحَدِهَا رَأْسَ يَهُوشَعَ بْنِ يَهُوصَادِقَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ.

12 And you are to tell him that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Here is a man whose name is the Branch, and He will branch out from His place and build the temple of the LORD.

12 وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: هَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الْغُصْنُ، الَّذِي يَنْبُتُ مِنْ ذَاتِهِ وَيَبْنِي هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ.

13 Yes, He will build the temple of the LORD; He will be clothed in splendor and will sit on His throne and rule. And He will be a priest on His throne, and there will be peaceful counsel between the two.’

13 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.

14 The crown will reside in the temple of the LORD as a memorial to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the gracious son of Zephaniah.

14 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ التِّيجَانِ، فَتَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ حَلْدَايَ وَطُوبِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا وَيُوشِيَّا بنِ صَفَنْيَا، وَضَعْهَا تَذْكَاراً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ.

15 Even those far away will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”

15 وَيَتَوَافَدُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِيَبْنُوا هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. وَيَتِمُّ هَذَا كُلُّهُ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ طَاعَةً كَامِلَةً».
