1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

1 וַיְהִ֛י דְּבַר־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות לֵאמֹֽר׃

2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

2 כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות קִנֵּ֥אתִי לְצִיֹּ֖ון קִנְאָ֣ה גְדֹולָ֑ה וְחֵמָ֥ה גְדֹולָ֖ה קִנֵּ֥אתִי לָֽהּ׃

3 Thus saith the LORD; I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

3 כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בְתִּי אֶל־צִיֹּ֔ון וְשָׁכַנְתִּ֖י בְּתֹ֣וךְ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְנִקְרְאָ֤ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ עִ֣יר־הָֽאֱמֶ֔ת וְהַר־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות הַ֥ר הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃

4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

4 כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות עֹ֤ד יֵֽשְׁבוּ֙ זְקֵנִ֣ים וּזְקֵנֹ֔ות בִּרְחֹבֹ֖ות יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְאִ֧ישׁ מִשְׁעַנְתֹּ֛ו בְּיָדֹ֖ו מֵרֹ֥ב יָמִֽים׃

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.

5 וּרְחֹבֹ֤ות הָעִיר֙ יִמָּ֣לְא֔וּ יְלָדִ֖ים וִֽילָדֹ֑ות מְשַׂחֲקִ֖ים בִּרְחֹֽבֹתֶֽיהָ׃

6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.

6 כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות כִּ֣י יִפָּלֵ֗א בְּעֵינֵי֙ שְׁאֵרִית֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה בַּיָּמִ֖ים הָהֵ֑ם גַּם־בְּעֵינַי֙ יִפָּלֵ֔א נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹֽות׃

7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

7 כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֔ות הִנְנִ֥י מֹושִׁ֛יעַ אֶת־עַמִּ֖י מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִזְרָ֑ח וּמֵאֶ֖רֶץ מְבֹ֥וא הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

8 וְהֵבֵאתִ֣י אֹתָ֔ם וְשָׁכְנ֖וּ בְּתֹ֣וךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְהָיוּ־לִ֣י לְעָ֗ם וַֽאֲנִי֙ אֶהְיֶ֤ה לָהֶם֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים בֶּאֱמֶ֖ת וּבִצְדָקָֽה׃

9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who were in the day when the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

9 כֹּֽה־אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֒ תֶּחֱזַ֣קְנָה יְדֵיכֶ֔ם הַשֹּֽׁמְעִים֙ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֵ֖ת הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה מִפִּי֙ הַנְּבִיאִ֔ים אֲ֠שֶׁר בְּיֹ֞ום יֻסַּ֨ד בֵּית־יְהוָ֧ה צְבָאֹ֛ות הַהֵיכָ֖ל לְהִבָּנֹֽות׃

10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbor.

10 כִּ֗י לִפְנֵי֙ הַיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם שְׂכַ֤ר הָֽאָדָם֙ לֹ֣א נִֽהְיָ֔ה וּשְׂכַ֥ר הַבְּהֵמָ֖ה אֵינֶ֑נָּה וְלַיֹּוצֵ֨א וְלַבָּ֤א אֵין־שָׁלֹום֙ מִן־הַצָּ֔ר וַאֲשַׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־כָּל־הָאָדָ֖ם אִ֥ישׁ בְּרֵעֵֽהוּ׃

11 But now I will not be to the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.

11 וְעַתָּ֗ה לֹ֣א כַיָּמִ֤ים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים֙ אֲנִ֔י לִשְׁאֵרִ֖ית הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹֽות׃

12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

12 כִּֽי־זֶ֣רַע הַשָּׁלֹ֗ום הַגֶּ֜פֶן תִּתֵּ֤ן פִּרְיָהּ֙ וְהָאָ֙רֶץ֙ תִּתֵּ֣ן אֶת־יְבוּלָ֔הּ וְהַשָּׁמַ֖יִם יִתְּנ֣וּ טַלָּ֑ם וְהִנְחַלְתִּ֗י אֶת־שְׁאֵרִ֛ית הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה אֶת־כָּל־אֵֽלֶּה׃

13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strong.

13 וְהָיָ֡ה כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ הֱיִיתֶ֨ם קְלָלָ֜ה בַּגֹּויִ֗ם בֵּ֤ית יְהוּדָה֙ וּבֵ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כֵּ֚ן אֹושִׁ֣יעַ אֶתְכֶ֔ם וִהְיִיתֶ֖ם בְּרָכָ֑ה אַל־תִּירָ֖אוּ תֶּחֱזַ֥קְנָה יְדֵיכֶֽם׃

14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not;

14 כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֒ כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר זָמַמְ֜תִּי1 לְהָרַ֣ע לָכֶ֗ם בְּהַקְצִ֤יף אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם֙ אֹתִ֔י אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֑ות וְלֹ֖א נִחָֽמְתִּי׃

15 So again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

15 כֵּ֣ן שַׁ֤בְתִּי זָמַ֙מְתִּי֙ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה לְהֵיטִ֥יב אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם וְאֶת־בֵּ֣ית יְהוּדָ֑ה אַל־תִּירָֽאוּ׃

16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

16 אֵ֥לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּֽעֲשׂ֑וּ דַּבְּר֤וּ אֱמֶת֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵ֔הוּ אֱמֶת֙ וּמִשְׁפַּ֣ט שָׁלֹ֔ום שִׁפְט֖וּ בְּשַׁעֲרֵיכֶֽם׃

17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

17 וְאִ֣ישׁ׀ אֶת־רָעַ֣ת רֵעֵ֗הוּ אַֽל־תַּחְשְׁבוּ֙ בִּלְבַבְכֶ֔ם וּשְׁבֻ֥עַת שֶׁ֖קֶר אַֽל־תֶּאֱהָ֑בוּ כִּ֧י אֶת־כָּל־אֵ֛לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׂנֵ֖אתִי נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃

18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

18 וַיְהִ֛י דְּבַר־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

19 כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֗ות צֹ֣ום הָרְבִיעִ֡י וְצֹ֣ום הַחֲמִישִׁי֩ וְצֹ֨ום הַשְּׁבִיעִ֜י וְצֹ֣ום הָעֲשִׂירִ֗י יִהְיֶ֤ה לְבֵית־יְהוּדָה֙ לְשָׂשֹׂ֣ון וּלְשִׂמְחָ֔ה וּֽלְמֹעֲדִ֖ים טֹובִ֑ים וְהָאֱמֶ֥ת וְהַשָּׁלֹ֖ום אֱהָֽבוּ׃

20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

20 כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֑ות עֹ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָבֹ֣אוּ עַמִּ֔ים וְיֹשְׁבֵ֖י עָרִ֥ים רַבֹּֽות׃

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.

21 וְֽהָלְכ֡וּ יֹשְׁבֵי֩ אַחַ֨ת אֶל־אַחַ֜ת לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵלְכָ֤ה הָלֹוךְ֙ לְחַלֹּות֙ אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֑ות אֵלְכָ֖ה גַּם־אָֽנִי׃

22 And many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

22 וּבָ֨אוּ עַמִּ֤ים רַבִּים֙ וְגֹויִ֣ם עֲצוּמִ֔ים לְבַקֵּ֛שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וּלְחַלֹּ֖ות אֶת־פְּנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men out of all languages of the nations, shall take hold, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

23 כֹּ֥ה1 אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנֹ֣ות הַגֹּויִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ3 בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם׃
