1 A day of the Lord is coming when the things of much worth taken from you will be divided among you.

سَيَأْتِي يَوْمُ اللهِ حِينَ يُقتَسَمُ ما سُلِبَ مِنْكُمْ أمامَ عُيُونِكُمْ.

2 F or I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle. The city will be taken. The houses will be robbed. The women will be taken against their will. And half of the city will be taken away to a strange land. But the rest of the people will not be taken away 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 the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.

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

4 O n that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, in front of Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives will be divided in two from east to west by a very large valley. Half the mountain will move toward the north and the other half 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 Y ou will run away by the valley of My mountains, for it will go as far as Azel. You will run away just as you did when the earth shook in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will 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 O n that day there will be no light. The stars of heaven will be made dark.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، تَنقَبِضُ أنوارُ السَّماءِ،

7 I t will be a special day which is known to the Lord. It will not be day or night. For when evening comes, there will be light.

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

8 O n that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem. Half of them will flow toward the sea in the east. The other half will flow toward the sea in the west. They will flow in summer and in winter.

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 T he Lord will be King over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be the only one, and His name the only one.

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

10 T he whole land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will rise and stay on its land from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to where the king’s wine is made.

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 P eople will live in it, and there will be no more curse. The people of Jerusalem will live without fear.

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

12 N ow this is how the Lord will punish all the people who have gone to war against Jerusalem. Their flesh will waste away while they stand on their feet. Their eyes will waste away in their faces, and their tongues will waste away in their mouths.

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 O n that day the Lord will send much fear upon them. They will take hold of one another’s hand, and the hand of one will be raised against the hand of another.

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

14 J udah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the riches of all the nations around will be gathered, much gold and silver and clothing.

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

15 T he same kind of punishment will come upon the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey, and all the cattle in those camps. The Nations Worship the King

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

16 T hen everyone who is left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go each year to worship the King, the Lord of All, and to keep the Special Supper of Tents.

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

17 I f any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of All, they will have no rain.

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

18 I f the family of Egypt does not go up to worship, then they will have no rain. The Lord will punish them as He punishes the nations that do not go up to keep the Special Supper of Tents.

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 will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to keep the Special Supper of Tents.

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

20 O n that day, “Holy to the Lord,” will be written on the bells of the horses. And the cooking pots in the house of the Lord will be like the holy dishes in front of 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 E very cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of All. And all who come bringing gifts in worship will take some of the pots and cook in them. On that day there will no longer be one who buys and sells in the house of the Lord of All.

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.
