| א וָאֶשָּׂא אֶת-עֵינַי, וָאֵרֶא; וְהִנֵּה, אַרְבַּע קְרָנוֹת. | 1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. |
| ב וָאֹמַר, אֶל-הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי--מָה-אֵלֶּה; וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי--אֵלֶּה הַקְּרָנוֹת אֲשֶׁר זֵרוּ אֶת-יְהוּדָה, אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וִירוּשָׁלִָם. {ס} | 2 And I said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these?' And he said unto me: 'These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.' {S} |
| ג וַיַּרְאֵנִי יְהוָה, אַרְבָּעָה חָרָשִׁים. | 3 And the LORD showed me four craftsmen. |
| ד וָאֹמַר, מָה אֵלֶּה בָאִים לַעֲשׂוֹת; וַיֹּאמֶר לֵאמֹר, אֵלֶּה הַקְּרָנוֹת אֲשֶׁר-זֵרוּ אֶת-יְהוּדָה כְּפִי-אִישׁ לֹא-נָשָׂא רֹאשׁוֹ, וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלֶּה לְהַחֲרִיד אֹתָם, לְיַדּוֹת אֶת-קַרְנוֹת הַגּוֹיִם הַנֹּשְׂאִים קֶרֶן אֶל-אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה לְזָרוֹתָהּ. {ס} | 4 Then said I: 'What come these to do?' And he spoke, saying: 'These--the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head--these then are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.' {S} |
| ה וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָאֵרֶא, וְהִנֵּה-אִישׁ; וּבְיָדוֹ, חֶבֶל מִדָּה. | 5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. |
| ו וָאֹמַר, אָנָה אַתָּה הֹלֵךְ; וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי, לָמֹד אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם, לִרְאוֹת כַּמָּה-רָחְבָּהּ, וְכַמָּה אָרְכָּהּ. | 6 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.' |
| ז וְהִנֵּה, הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי--יֹצֵא; וּמַלְאָךְ אַחֵר, יֹצֵא לִקְרָאתוֹ. | 7 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, |
| ח וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָו--רֻץ דַּבֵּר אֶל-הַנַּעַר הַלָּז, לֵאמֹר: פְּרָזוֹת תֵּשֵׁב יְרוּשָׁלִַם, מֵרֹב אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה בְּתוֹכָהּ. | 8 and said unto him: 'Run, speak to this young man, saying: 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein. |
| ט וַאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה-לָּהּ נְאֻם-יְהוָה, חוֹמַת אֵשׁ סָבִיב; וּלְכָבוֹד, אֶהְיֶה בְתוֹכָהּ. {פ} | 9 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. {P} |
| י הוֹי הוֹי, וְנֻסוּ מֵאֶרֶץ צָפוֹן--נְאֻם-יְהוָה: כִּי כְּאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם, פֵּרַשְׂתִּי אֶתְכֶם--נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 10 Ho, ho, flee then 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. |
| יא הוֹי צִיּוֹן, הִמָּלְטִי--יוֹשֶׁבֶת, בַּת-בָּבֶל. {ס} | 11 Ho, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.' {S} |
| יב כִּי כֹה אָמַר, יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, אַחַר כָּבוֹד, שְׁלָחַנִי אֶל-הַגּוֹיִם הַשֹּׁלְלִים אֶתְכֶם: כִּי הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּכֶם, נֹגֵעַ בְּבָבַת עֵינוֹ. | 12 For thus saith the LORD of hosts who sent me after glory unto the nations which spoiled you: 'Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. |
| יג כִּי הִנְנִי מֵנִיף אֶת-יָדִי, עֲלֵיהֶם, וְהָיוּ שָׁלָל, לְעַבְדֵיהֶם; וִידַעְתֶּם, כִּי-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחָנִי. {ס} | 13 For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them'; and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. {S} |
| יד רָנִּי וְשִׂמְחִי, בַּת-צִיּוֹן--כִּי הִנְנִי-בָא וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְתוֹכֵךְ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 14 'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. |
| טו וְנִלְווּ גוֹיִם רַבִּים אֶל-יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, וְהָיוּ לִי לְעָם; וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְתוֹכֵךְ--וְיָדַעַתְּ, כִּי-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחַנִי אֵלָיִךְ. | 15 And many nations shall join themselves 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. |
| טז וְנָחַל יְהוָה אֶת-יְהוּדָה חֶלְקוֹ, עַל אַדְמַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ; וּבָחַר עוֹד, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם. | 16 And the LORD shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. |
| יז הַס כָּל-בָּשָׂר, מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה--כִּי נֵעוֹר, מִמְּעוֹן קָדְשׁוֹ. {ס} | 17 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused out of His holy habitation. {S} |
