Zechariah 2

I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ وَبِيَدِهِ حَبْلُ قِيَاسٍ.

Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

فَقُلْتُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ؟» فَقَالَ لِي: «لأَقِيسَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لأَرَى كَمْ عَرْضُهَا وَكَمْ طُولُهَا».

And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

وَإِذَا بِالْمَلاَكِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَخَرَجَ مَلاَكٌ آخَرُ لِلِقَائِهِ.

And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اجْرِ وَكَلِّمْ هذَا الْغُلاَمِ قَائِلاً: كَالأَعْرَاءِ تُسْكَنُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ فِيهَا.

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

وَأَنَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَكُونُ لَهَا سُورَ نَارٍ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا، وَأَكُونُ مَجْدًا فِي وَسَطِهَا.

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

«يَا يَا، اهْرُبُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. فَإِنِّي قَدْ فَرَّقْتُكُمْ كَرِيَاحِ السَّمَاءِ الأَرْبَعِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

تَنَجَّيْ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ السَّاكِنَةُ فِي بِنْتِ بَابِلَ،

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: بَعْدَ الْمَجْدِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ سَلَبُوكُمْ، لأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَمَسُّكُمْ يَمَسُّ حَدَقَةَ عَيْنِهِ.

For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

لأَنِّي هأَنَذَا أُحَرِّكُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَكُونُونَ سَلَبًا لِعَبِيدِهِمْ. فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي.

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

«تَرَنَّمِي وَافْرَحِي يَا بِنْتَ صِهْيَوْنَ، لأَنِّي هأَنَذَا آتِي وَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

فَيَتَّصِلُ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِالرَّبِّ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا فَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِكِ، فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكِ.

And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

وَالرَّبُّ يَرِثُ يَهُوذَا نَصِيبَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَيَخْتَارُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدُ.

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.

اُسْكُتُوا يَا كُلَّ الْبَشَرِ قُدَّامَ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ».
