1 B ehold, a day of the Lord is coming when the spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.

سَيَأْتِي يَوْمُ اللهِ حِينَ يُقتَسَمُ ما سُلِبَ مِنْكُمْ أمامَ عُيُونِكُمْ.

2 F or I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

«سَأجمَعُ كُلَّ الأُمَمِ مَعاً إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ لإعلانِ حَربٍ عَلَيها.» سَتُفتَحُ المَدِينَةُ، وَالبُيُوتُ سَتُسلَبُ، وَالنِّساءُ سَتُغتَصَبُ. سَيَذْهَبُ نِصْفُ المَدِينَةِ إلَى السَّبْيِ، وَلَكِنَّ بَقِيَّةَ الشَّعبِ لَنْ تُؤْخَذَ مِنَ المَدِينَةِ.

3 T hen shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.

حِينَئِذٍ سَيَخرُجُ اللهُ وَيُحارِبُ تِلْكَ الأُمَمَ كَما حارَبَ فِي مَعارِكَ سابِقَةٍ.

4 A nd His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from the east to the west by a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south.

فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، سَيَقِفُ عَلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ الَّذِي يَقَعُ إلَى الشَّرقِ مِنْ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. وَسَيَنشَقُّ جَبَلُ الزَّيتُونِ إلَى نِصفَينِ مِنَ الشَّرقِ إلَى الغَربِ، وَينشأُ وَادٍ بَينَ النٍّصفَينِ. سَيَمِيلُ نِصفُ الجَبَلِ إلَى الشِّمالِ، وَنِصفُهُ إلَى الجَنُوبِ.

5 A nd you shall flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal, and you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the holy ones with Him.

سَتَهرُبُونَ مِنَ وادِي جَبَلِ اللهِ. فَالوادِي سَيَمتَدُّ وَسَطَ الجِبالِ إلَى مَنطِقَةِ آصَلَ. سَتَهرُبُونَ كَما هَرَبْتُمْ مِنَ الهِزَّةِ الأرْضِيَّةِ خِلالَ حُكمِ عُزِّيّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذا. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَأْتِي إلَهِي وَمَعَهُ كُلُّ مَلائِكَتِهِ.

6 A nd it shall come to pass in that day that there shall not be light; the glorious and bright ones shall be darkened.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، تَنقَبِضُ أنوارُ السَّماءِ،

7 B ut it shall be one continuous day, known to the Lord—not day and not night, but at evening time there shall be light.

وَيَبقَى النّهارُ مُضِيئاً – اللهُ وَحْدَهُ يَعَلَمُ كَيْفَ سَيَحْدُثُ هَذا! وَلَنْ يَتَعاقَبَ نَهارٌ وَلَيلٌ، بَلْ سَيَبقَى النُّورُ حَتَّى فِي وَقتِ المَساءِ.

8 A nd it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern Sea and half of them to the western Sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَتَخرُجُ مِياهٌ حَيَّةٌ مِنْ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. سَيَذْهَبُ نِصْفُها إلَى البَحْرِ الشَّرْقِيِّ، وَالنِّصْفُ الآخَرُ إلَى البَحْرِ الغَرْبِيِّ وَسَيَحدُثُ هَذا فِي الصَّيفِ وَفِي الشَّتاءِ.

9 A nd the Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that day the Lord shall be one and His name one.

وَسَيَكُونُ اللهُ مَلِكاً عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ. فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَكُونُ يهوه هُوَ الإلَهَ الوَحِيدَ المَعبُودَ.

10 A ll the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain lifted up on its site and dwell in its place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.

وَسَتَتَحَوَّلُ كُلُّ الأرْضِ لِتُصْبِحَ كَأرْضِ وادِي عَرَبَةَ، كُلُّ الأرْضِ مِنْ جَبْعَ إلَى رِمُّونَ جَنُوبَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. سَتَرتَفِعُ مَدينَةُ القُدْسِ وَسَتَبقَى فِي مَكانِها مِنْ بَوّابَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ إلَى مَوْقِعِ البَوّابَةِ الأُولَى، أي بَوّابَةِ الزّاوِيَةِ، وَمِنْ بُرجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ إلَى مِعصَرَةِ النَّبيذِ المَلَكِيَّةِ.

11 A nd it shall be inhabited, for there shall be no more curse or ban of utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall dwell securely.

سَيَسكُنُ النّاسُ مَدينَةَ القُدْسِ، وَلَنْ يَأْتِي الخَرابُ عَلَيها فِيما بَعْدُ، بَلْ سَتَكُونُ آمِنَةً.

12 A nd this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot away while they stand upon their feet and their eyes shall corrode away in their sockets and their tongue shall decay away in their mouth.

هَذِهِ هِيَ الضَّرْبَةَ الَّتِي سَيُوقِعُها اللهُ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي حارَبَتِ القُدْسَ: سَيَجعَلُ جَسَدَ العَدُوِّ يَتَعَفَّنُ وَهُوَ واقِفٌ عَلَى قَدَمَيهِ. سَتَذُوبُ عَيناهُ فِي تَجوِيفِهِما، وَسَيَتَعَفَّنُ لِسانُهُ فِي فَمِهِ.

13 A nd in that day there shall be a great confusion, discomfiture, and panic among them from the Lord; and they shall seize each his neighbor’s hand, and the hand of the one shall be raised against the hand of the other.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيُسَبِّبُ اللهُ تَشوِيشاً عَظِيماً بَينَهُمْ. سَيَتَصارَعُونَ مَعاً وَسَيُحاوِلُ الواحِدُ قَتلَ الآخَرِ.

14 A nd Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together—gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.

وَسَيَحارِبُ بَنُو يَهُوذا فِي القُدْسِ. وَسَتُجمَعُ ثَرْوَةُ جَميعِ الأُمَمِ المُحِيطَةِ بِالقُدْسِ، الذَّهَبُ وَالفِضَّةُ وَالثِّيابُ.

15 A nd as that plague on men, so shall be the plague on the horse, on the mule, on the camel, on the donkey, and on all the livestock and beasts that may be in those camps.

وَهَكَذا سَتَكُونُ الضَّرْبَةُ الَّتِي سَتَأْتِي عَلَى الحِصانِ وَالبَغلِ وَالحَمَلِ وَالحِمارِ فِي تِلكَ المُعَسكَراتِ.

16 A nd everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths.

أمّا جَميعُ النّاجِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أتَتْ عَلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، فَسَيَذهَبٌونَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ لِعِبادَةِ المَلِكَ، اللهِ القَدِيرِ، وَالاحتِفالِ بِعِيدُ السَّقائِفِ.

17 A nd it shall be that whoso of the families of the earth shall not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain.

وَالعائِلَةُ الَّتِي لا تَذْهَبُ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ لِعِبادَةِ المَلِكِ، اللهِ القَدِيرِ، لَنْ تَنالَ مَطَراً.

18 A nd if the family of Egypt does not go up to Jerusalem and present themselves, upon them there shall be no rain, but there shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite the nations that go not up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

وَإنْ لَمْ تَذْهَبْ عَشائرُ مِصْرَ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، فَسَتَأتي عَلَى مِصْرَ تِلْكَ الضَّرْبَةُ الَّتِي يُصيبُ بِها اللهُ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي لا تَأْتِي لِلاحتِفالِ بِعِيدُ السَّقائِفِ.

19 T his shall be the consequent punishment of the sin of Egypt and the consequent punishment of the sin of all the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

سَيَكُونُ هَذا عِقابُ مِصْرَ وَكُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي لا تَأْتِي لِلاحتِفالِ بِعِيدُ السَّقائِفِ.

20 I n that day there shall be upon the bells on the horses, holy to the lord, and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be holy to the Lord like the bowls before the altar.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَتُنقَشُ الكَلِماتُ «مُخَصَّصٌ ليهوه» عَلَى أجراسِ الخُيُولِ. وَسَتُعتَبَرُ القُدُورُ الَّتِيُ فِي بَيتِ اللهِ مُقَدَّسَةً كَالأقداحِ الَّتِي تُوضَعُ أمامَ المَذْبَحِ.

21 Y es, every pot in all the houses of Jerusalem and in Judah shall be dedicated and holy to the Lord of hosts, and all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil their sacrifices in them. And in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

سَيُنقَشُ عَلَى كُلِّ قِدْرٍ في مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ وَيَهُوذا الكَلِماتُ «مُخَصَّصٌ لِيهوه القَدِيرِ.» وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَدِّمُونَ ذَبِيحَةً سَيَأْتُونَ إلَى الهَيكَلِ، وَسَيَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُمُ الذَّبِيحَةَ وَيَطبُخُونَها فِي القُدُورِ. وَلَنْ يُرَى تاجِرٌ فِي بَيتِ اللهِ القَدِيرِ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ.
