1 ث ُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَينَيَّ ثانِيَةً فَنَظَرْتُ، وَإذا هُناكَ أربَعُ مَركَباتٍ خارِجَةٌ مِنْ بَينِ جَبَلَينِ نُحاسِيَّينِ.

Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.

2 ك انَتْ خُيُولٌ حَمراءُ تَجُرُّ المَركَبَةَ الأُولَى، وَخُيُولٌ سَوْداءُ تَجُرُّ المَركَبَةَ الثّانِيَةَ،

With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses,

3 و َخُيُولٌ بَيضاءُ تَجُرُّ المَركَبَةَ الثّالِثَةَ، وَخُيُولٌ مُرَقَّطَةٌ تَجُرُّ المَركَبَةَ الرّابِعَةَ.

with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot strong dappled horses.

4 ف َسَألْتُ المَلاكَ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي: «ما هَذِهِ يا سَيِّدِي؟»

Then I spoke and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “ What are these, my lord?”

5 ف َأجابَ المَلاكُ: «هَذِهِ رِياحُ السَّماءِ الأربَعُ الآتِيَةُ مِنَ حَضرَةِ رَبِّ الأرْضِ كُلِّها.

The angel replied to me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth,

6 ا لخُيُولُ السَّوْداءُ خارِجَةٌ إلَى الشِّمالِ، وَالخُيُولُ البَيضاءُ إلَى الغَرْبِ، وَالخُيُولُ المُرَقَّطَةُ إلَى الجَنُوبِ.

with one of which the black horses are going forth to the north country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the south country.

7 ف َخَرَجَتْ هَذِهِ الخُيُولُ لِلذَّهابِ وَالتَّجَوُّلِ فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ. فَقالَ اللهُ: ‹اذهَبِي! تَجَوَّلِي فِي الأرْضِ!› فَتَجَوَّلَتْ فِي الأرْضِ.»

When the strong ones went out, they were eager to go to patrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

8 ح ِينَئِذٍ دَعانِي اللهُ وَقالَ لِي: «ها الخُيُولُ الذّاهِبَةُ إلَى أرْضِ الشِّمالِ. قَدْ هَدَّأَتْ غَضَبَ رُوحِي.» تَتوِيجُ يَشُوع

Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have appeased My wrath in the land of the north.”

9 ث ُمَّ تَلَقَّيتُ هَذِهِ الرِّسالَةَ مِنَ اللهِ:

The word of the Lord also came to me, saying,

10 « خُذِ الفِضَّةَ وَالذَّهَبَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كانُوا فِي السَّبْيِ، مِنْ حَلْدايَ وَطُوبِيّا وَيَدَعْيا الَّذِينَ أتَوْا مِنْ بابِلَ، وَادخُلْ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ بَيتَ يُوشِيّا بْنِ صَفَنْيا.

“ Take an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah; and you go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have arrived from Babylon. The Symbolic Crowns

11 خ ُذِ الفِضَّةَ وَالذَّهَبَ وَاصنَعْ تِيجاناً تَضَعُها عَلَى رَأْسِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ يَهُوصاداقَ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ.

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

12 و َقُلْ لَهُ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ القَدِيرُ: ‹انْظُرْ إلَى الرَّجُلِ الذي اسْمُهُ الغُصْنُ، وَسَيَنبُتُ حَيثُ هُوَ وَيَبْنِي هَيكَلَ اللهِ.

Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the Lord.

13 ه َذا هُوَ الَّذِي سَيَبْنِي هَيكَلَ اللهِ. سَيَكُونُ مُكَرَّماً، وَسَيَجلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ وَيَحكُمُ. وَسَيَقِفُ إلَى جانِبِ عَرْشِهِ كاهِنٌ. فَيَعمَلانِ مَعاً فِي سَلامٍ.›

Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.”’

14 « سَيَكُونُ التّاجُ تِذكاراً فِي هَيكَلِ اللهِ لِحَلْدايَ وَيَدَعْيا وَيُوشِيّا بْنِ صَفَنْيا.

Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the Lord to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

15 و َسَيَأتِي الَّذِينَ يَسكُنُونَ فِي أماكِنَ بَعِيدَةٍ وَيُساعِدُونَ فِي بِناءِ هَيكَلِ اللهِ.» حِينَئِذٍ سَتَعرِفُونَ أنَّ اللهَ القَدِيرَ أرسَلَنِي إلَيكُمْ. سَيَحدُثُ هَذا إنْ أطَعْتُمُ إلَهَكُمْ بِاجتِهادٍ.

Those who are far off will come and build the temple of the Lord.” Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the Lord your God.
