زَكَريَّا 4

١ 1 فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَأَيْقَظَنِي كَرَجُلٍ أُوقِظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ.

The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

٢ 2 وَقَالَ لِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِمَنَارَةٍ كُلُّهَا ذَهَبٌ، وَكُوزُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا، وَسَبْعَةُ سُرُجٍ عَلَيْهَا، وَسَبْعُ أَنَابِيبَ لِلسُّرْجِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى رَأْسِهَا.

He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

٣ 3 وَعِنْدَهَا زَيْتُونَتَانِ، إِحْدَاهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْكُوزِ، وَٱلْأُخْرَى عَنْ يَسَارِهِ».

and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”

٤ 4 فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»

I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

٥ 5 فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي».

Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

٦ 6 فَأَجَابَ وَكَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: «هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ قَائِلًا: لَا بِٱلْقُدْرَةِ وَلَا بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، بَلْ بِرُوحِي قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

٧ 7 مَنْ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ؟ أَمَامَ زَرُبَّابِلَ تَصِيرُ سَهْلًا! فَيُخْرِجُ حَجَرَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ بَيْنَ ٱلْهَاتِفِينَ: كَرَامَةً، كَرَامَةً لَهُ».

Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”

٨ 8 وَكَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

٩ 9 «إِنَّ يَدَيْ زَرُبَّابِلَ قَدْ أَسَّسَتَا هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَيَدَاهُ تُتَمِّمَانِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ».

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّهُ مَنِ ٱزْدَرَى بِيَوْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ. فَتَفْرَحُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلسَّبْعُ، وَيَرَوْنَ ٱلزِّيجَ بِيَدِ زَرُبَّابِلَ. إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْيُنُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَائِلَةُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

١١ 11 فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «مَا هَاتَانِ ٱلزَّيْتُونَتَانِ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهَا؟»

Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”

١٢ 12 وَأَجَبْتُ ثَانِيَةً وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «مَا فَرْعَا ٱلزَّيْتُونِ ٱللَّذَانِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأَنَابِيبِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ٱلْمُفْرِغَانِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱلذَّهَبِيَّ؟»

I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”

١٣ 13 فَأَجَابَنِي قَائِلًا: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَاتَانِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي».

He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ: «هَاتَانِ هُمَا ٱبْنَا ٱلزَّيْتِ ٱلْوَاقِفَانِ عِنْدَ سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا».

Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
