زَكَريّا 4

١ 1 وَرَجَعَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي يُكَلِّمُنِي وَأَيْقَظَنِي كَمَا يُوْقَظُ رَجُلٌ 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 وَسَأَلَنِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى مَنَارَةً مَصُوغَةً كُلُّهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، عَلَى رَأْسِهَا صَحْنٌ قَائِمٌ، عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَةُ سُرُجٍ، مُتَّصِلَةٍ بِسَبْعِ أَنَابِيبَ مِنْ أَعْلَى

He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

٣ 3 يَنْتَصِبُ إِلَى جِوَارِهَا زَيْتُونَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِ الصَّحْنِ وَالأُخْرَى 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 ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الْمَلاكَ: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»

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

٥ 5 فَأَجَابَنِي: «أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لا يَا سَيِّدِي».

Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

٦ 6 فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ رِسَالَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ: لَا بِالْقُدْرَةِ وَلا بِالْقُوَّةِ، وَلَكِنْ بِرُوحِي تُفْلِحُونَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.

٧ 7 أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَلُ الْعَظِيمُ؟ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ أَمَامَ زَرُبَّابِلَ، وَسَيَضَعُ زَرُبَّابِلُ حَجَرَ الزَّاوِيَةِ فِي خِضَمِّ هُتَافِ الْقَائِلِينَ: لِيُبَارِكْهُ، لِيُبَارِكْهُ الرَّبُّ».

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 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

٩ 9 «قَدْ أَسَّسَتْ يَدَا زَرُبَّابِلَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ، وَيَدَاهُ تُكَمِّلانِ بِنَاءَهُ، فَتُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ.

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

١٠ 10 مَنْ يَزْدَرِي بِيَوْمِ الإِنْجَازَاتِ الصَّغِيرَةِ؟ يَفْرَحُ الرِّجَالُ حِينَ يُشَاهِدُونَ مِيزَانَ الْبِنَاءِ فِي يَدِ زَرُبَّابِلَ، وَهَذِهِ السَّبْعَةُ هِيَ أَعْيُنُ الرَّبِّ الْجَائِلَةُ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ».

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 the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole earth."

١١ 11 ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ: «مَا هَاتَانِ الزَّيْتُونَتَانِ الْقَائِمَتَانِ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْمَنَارَةِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهَا؟

Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"

١٢ 12 وَمَا غُصْنَا الزَّيْتُونِ هَذَانِ الْمُنْتَصِبَانِ إِلَى جُوَارِ أُنْبُوبَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ، اللَّتَيْنِ تَصُبَّانِ الزَّيْتَ الذَّهَبِيَّ؟»

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: «أَلا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَاتَانِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لا يَا سَيِّدِي».

He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ: «هَاتَانِ تُمَثِّلانِ الْمَمْسُوحَيْنِ بِالزَّيْتِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَمْثُلانِ لَدَى رَبِّ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا».

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