1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ عَينَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ فَرَأيتُ رَجُلاً يَحمِلُ خَيطَ قِياسٍ.

2 T hen I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

فَسألْتُهُ: «إلَى أينَ أنتَ ذاهِبٌ؟» فَقالَ لِي: «أنا ذاهِبٌ لِأقِيسَ مَدينَةَ القُدْسِ، لِأعرِفَ كَمْ عَرضُها وَكَمْ طُولُها.»

3 B ehold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

ثُمَّ مضَى المَلاكُ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي، وَخَرَجَ مَلاكٌ آخَرُ لِلِقائِهِ.

4 a nd said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

فَقالَ المَلاكُ الأوَّلُ لِلثّانِي: «اركُضْ وَقُلْ لِهَذا الشّابِّ: ‹سَتُسْكَنُ مَدينَةُ القُدْسِ لَكِنْ بِلا أسْوارٍ لأنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِيها أُناسٌ وَحَيواناتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.›

5 F or I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

يَقُولُ اللهُ: ‹وَسَأكُونُ أنا سُوراً مِنْ نارٍ حَولَها، وَسَأكُونُ مَجداً فِي وَسَطِها.›» دَعوَةُ اللهِ لِشَعبِه

6 C ome! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «أسْرِعُوا! اهرُبُوا مِنْ أرْضِ الشَّمالِ. لأنِّي شَتَّتُّكُمْ كَالرِّيحِ فِي كُلِّ اتِّجاةٍ،» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

7 ‘ Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

«يا أهَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ السّاكِنينَ فِي بابِلَ، اهرُبُوا مِنْها!»

8 F or Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

أكرَمَنِي اللهُ القَدِيرُ، ثُمَّ أرسَلَنِي إلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي نَهَبَتْكُمْ وَقالَ عَنكُمْ: «مَنْ يُؤْذِيكُمْ يُؤْذِي عَيني!»

9 F or, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

وَقالَ: «سَأرفَعُ يَدَيَّ ضِدَّ تِلكَ الأُمَمِ، حَتَّى إنَّ عَبيدَهُمْ سَيَسلِبُونَهُمْ.» حِينَئِذٍ سَتَعرِفُونَ أنَّ اللهَ القَدِيرَ أرسَلَنِي.

10 S ing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «تَرَنَّمِي وَاحتَفِلِي أيَّتُها الابْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنُ، لِأنِّي سَآتِي لِأسْكُنَ فِيكِ،

11 M any nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

سَتَنضَمُّ أُمَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ للهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ. فَسَيَصِيرُونَ شَعباً لِي، وَأنا سَأسكُنُ فِي وَسْطِكِ يا صِهْيَوْنَ.» حِينَئِذٍ سَتَعرِفِينَ أنَّ اللهَ القَدِيرَ أرسَلَنِي إلَيكِ.

12 Y ahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

سَيتَّخِذُ اللهُ يَهُوذا مُلْكاً لَهُ فِي الأرْضِ المُقَدَّسَةِ، وَسَيَختارُ القُدْسَ ثانِيَةً، لِتَكُونَ مَكاناً مُقَدَّساً لَهُ.

13 B e silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
