< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the Angel that talked with mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,
فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَأَيْقَظَنِي كَرَجُلٍ أُوقِظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ.١
2 And saide vnto me, What seest thou? And I said, I haue looked, and beholde, a candlesticke all of gold with a bowle vpon the toppe of it, and his seuen lampes therein, and seuen pipes to the lampes, which were vpon the toppe thereof.
وَقَالَ لِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِمَنَارَةٍ كُلُّهَا ذَهَبٌ، وَكُوزُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا، وَسَبْعَةُ سُرُجٍ عَلَيْهَا، وَسَبْعُ أَنَابِيبَ لِلسُّرْجِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى رَأْسِهَا.٢
3 And two oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
وَعِنْدَهَا زَيْتُونَتَانِ، إِحْدَاهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْكُوزِ، وَٱلْأُخْرَى عَنْ يَسَارِهِ».٣
4 So I answered, and spake to the Angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my Lord?
فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»٤
5 Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي».٥
6 Then he answered and spake vnto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an armie nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.
فَأَجَابَ وَكَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: «هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ قَائِلًا: لَا بِٱلْقُدْرَةِ وَلَا بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، بَلْ بِرُوحِي قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ.٦
7 Who art thou, O great mountaine, before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be a plaine, and he shall bring foorth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace vnto it.
مَنْ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ؟ أَمَامَ زَرُبَّابِلَ تَصِيرُ سَهْلًا! فَيُخْرِجُ حَجَرَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ بَيْنَ ٱلْهَاتِفِينَ: كَرَامَةً، كَرَامَةً لَهُ».٧
8 Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
وَكَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:٨
9 The handes of Zerubbabel haue layde the foundation of this house: his handes shall also finish it, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you.
«إِنَّ يَدَيْ زَرُبَّابِلَ قَدْ أَسَّسَتَا هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَيَدَاهُ تُتَمِّمَانِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ».٩
10 For who hath despised the day of the small thinges? but they shall reioyce, and shall see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seuen are the eyes of the Lord, which go thorow the whole world.
لِأَنَّهُ مَنِ ٱزْدَرَى بِيَوْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ. فَتَفْرَحُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلسَّبْعُ، وَيَرَوْنَ ٱلزِّيجَ بِيَدِ زَرُبَّابِلَ. إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْيُنُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَائِلَةُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.١٠
11 Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?
فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «مَا هَاتَانِ ٱلزَّيْتُونَتَانِ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهَا؟»١١
12 And I spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?
وَأَجَبْتُ ثَانِيَةً وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «مَا فَرْعَا ٱلزَّيْتُونِ ٱللَّذَانِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأَنَابِيبِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ٱلْمُفْرِغَانِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱلذَّهَبِيَّ؟»١٢
13 And hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, No, my Lord.
فَأَجَابَنِي قَائِلًا: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَاتَانِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي».١٣
14 Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
فَقَالَ: «هَاتَانِ هُمَا ٱبْنَا ٱلزَّيْتِ ٱلْوَاقِفَانِ عِنْدَ سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا».١٤
